Purchasing a new Nano

I just have a quick question, I don't know if this is in the right place if its not I apologise.
I was watching tv and the mac commercial came on. In the particular commerciaol i was watching they said that mac would transfer files from PC to a Mac. If I bought an Ipod from the Apple store would they transfer my songs from my old Ipod to the new one I just bought? I don`t keep even most of the songs I have on my Ipod on my computor becasue its a laptop and I want to keep space free for school work.any input is appreciated

As far as I know, you can not transfer music from an old iPod to a new iPod. If your music is saved in iTunes on your laptop, then you can transfer from iTunes on your laptop to your new iPod.

I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue. On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting. It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually. Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast. I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes. It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds. This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again

I have the latest version of Itunes downloaded and installed to my computer. I have a music library already created for my replaced Ipod Nano. I've just purchased a new Nano. When I try to access the Itunes store from the Itunes program, it gets hung u

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, but it still gets hung up when trying to access the Itunes Store from the Itunes program.
I've been unable to register the new Nano or sync it with my library.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Cannot Add Playlists or Movies to New Nano-iTunes "Creates" a New Device

I just purchased a new Nano and I am trying to get it work with iTunes 7.4.1.2 properly. When I connected the Nano, it created a new playlist named after the name I gave the Nano. Everything that is added to this playlist syncs fine. However, when I try to add any other playlists through the Music tab for this device and then re-sync, I get two error messages - "The iPod cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found" and "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
When these error messages happen, I notice that there is a second Nano appearing under devices (I only own one). This second Nano only has a Summary tab but the serial number is the same as the primary Nano showing up under "Devices."
I have tried everything I can think of. I disconnected and reconnected. I restarted iTunes. I rebooted the computer. I tried Restoring the iPod as suggested. Nothing works and I keep ending up at this same point.
It will also not let me add any video content (Movies, TV) or podcasts, giving me the same error messages above. Photos does work when I set it up adding the folder I want when first connecting the Nano.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am running the latest version (7.4.1.2) on a Sony Vaio running Windows XP.

But will I lose all my contacts (the ones I've added recently) and apps.
If I go back to an older ID, I might lose all my recent stuff with the new ID?

Got new nano and new laptop - how to get songs on both?

My old nano does not work, purchased a new Nano 16 gb. Also have new laptop and would like to get songs onto new laptop and new nano. What should I do first? New laptop is Windows 7, old is Windows XP. I do have an external hard drive that I can use to back up songs from old computer.

The external is perfect. You will want to locate your music on the Win XP hard drive and move it to the external, then bring the external to the new Win 7 PC and drag the music in to a folder there.
If you have iTunes already installed then you will need to drag the music in to iTunes once you've moved it to the PC.
If iTunes is not installed you're good, just install iTunes and it will pick up the music automatically.
Then connect iPod and sync ^^v

New Nano on old itunes

I just purchased a new Nano because my mini died on me, I'm wondering how do I transfer over all the account to the new Nano? Is there anything that I have to do to have Itunes recognize it as the hardware associated with my account? Thanks.

Nope. You should be able to plug it in & go.
Cheers!

New Nano! Getting songs off old ipod

I recently purchased the new Nano (PINK!). I currently own an ipod mini. I am giving the mini to my mom and keeping the nano. I want to put all the songs that were on my mini onto my nano, but I don't think it'll work. Is there anything special I need to do? I'm afraid when I hook up the nano it will completely clear my itunes account.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If your music is in iTunes on your computer, then you just need to install the latest version of iTunes...

And connect your iPod up to your computer.

Stolen mini, new nano

My ipod mini was stolen and I've purchased a new nano. I'm ready to put my music on the new nano. How do I get started; I'm missing my music terribly.

Didn't the Nano come with an instruction 'quick start' booklet?
If the tunes are on your computer then plug in the Nano with the cable provided and iTunes should do the rest.
FYI - you posted in the iTunes Mac instead of the iTunes Windows forum.

New nano not updating play counts - any help would be greatly appreciated!

I purchased a new nano (7G) yesterday. When I play music (and plug it back into my computer) the play count / last played does not update on my computer. I've tried restoring and turning sync on and off again (I use manual update) to no avail.
I didn't have this issue with my old iPod, so it shouldn't be a problem with iTunes. The play count does go up according to the nano's display, but it doesn't transfer to my computer's play counts. I also tried an old suggestion of playing a podcast for 30 seconds before plugging it, but that didn't work either.
Using 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.7. I hope I'm just missing something simple. Thanks!

I found this about what I think is the same problem I had, although mine was with my iphone but think it could be useful. I think my issue was that i had put my girlfriends phone on first so when i put mine on, it prioritised the original one. Not sure anyway, but sounds similar and for now it has been fixed.
Right Click on your iphones name and click sync one more time, when this is done, click on your music folder under your iphones name you will get this message "You have changed the settings for the iPhone “dermott o'donnell’s iPhone”. Would you like to apply these changes?" click apply
and the play count should be updated, my music is managed manually as well

New Nano not synching and keeps freezing

Hi,
I just purchased the new Nano 4gb and have been having problems. First, i would like to mention that i was using an older nano on this computer before i got this new one. When i plug in the new nano i got a screen that says "Connected Eject Before Disconnecting". Sometimes it goes to this screen and sometimes it goes to regualr menu screen but neither connect to itunes. Im not sure if i should return this or not or if there is something i have to do with Itunes preferences. I hope someone can help. Thanks.

I have an iPod 4th Generation, after updating iTunes my iPod would no longer sync. iTunes sees the device, the iPod window comes up. WIth iPod connected and iTunes running Select Music, "Sync Music" box was not checked. Apparently the new iTunes has this box not checked by default, not smart.

I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes, but can't get the podcasts I downloaded after the transfer to sync to my nano

I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.

So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct? However, they will not sync with the device? Are these video or audio podcasts?
How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts? You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes. To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right. Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.

I purchased a new vehicle with a USP port but my nano model A199 will not work, only works with the aux plug which will not allow me to view the songs on the vehicle touchscreen. Is there a download I can get to put into this nano?

I purchased a new vehicle and the older ipod nano I have will not work through the USP port, only works through the aux plug. Is there a download i can get toput into the nano that will then allow me to use the USP port instead of the aux port?

Check with your dealer and see if there is a special cable available for connecting your iPod. It should have a dock connector on one end and USB and miniplug on the other.

I had my nano stolen, bought the shuffle. how do i download music previously purchased to new shuffle?

Perhaps you should see your iPod's User Guide for more help.

New Nano needs already purchased music in new computer

I just purchased my new Macbook and got a Nano too. at the time of purchase I was told by the apple people that I would be able to download all the purchased iTunes from my acct to my new Macbook, but I can't find how to do that. I have a fire wire on order, but would like to get some of my music asap so I can start using it. Any ideas?
thanks

If the computer isn't authorized to play the music, choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes and provide the username and password associated with your iTunes Store account. In either case, connect the iPod to your computer and go through the iPod Setup Assistant; iTunes will then transfer the contents of its library to the iPod.

Would it be more expensive to replace the screen on my iPod nano generation 6 or purchase a new one?

Today I dropped my sixth generation iPod nano which cracked the screen, and my "Apple Care" has runout. Would I be better off purchasing a new iPod or having the screen replaced by a Springboard Apple Specialist.

AppleCare does not apply to accidents, so it would not have helped.
You can get an Apple Certified Refurb iPod nano (8GB) for $99, which has the same one-year warranty as a new one. And it looks new. You'll have to get a quote from your repair specialist and decide if it's an economical repair.
