Restoring ipod nano... again

Okay... I looked at the site (or page or whatever it is called) that Jeff Bryan replied to me... Thanks Jeff, I have seen this heaps of time and it has not really made sense (So I printed it out!)
So I have found out why I can't do it... I can't find the Summary Tab... (Does anyone know where it is!)
I see where I am meant to look... (the apple icon/logo) but I cannot see any restore options in there!
But when I do find it (;)With help hopefully).... which restore option do I take... 1, 2, 3 or 4! I am downloading the latest software right now(again!)

Your iPod's Summary preference tab is found in iTunes.
See if it makes sense after following a few steps here:
1 - Connect your iPod to your computer, through the USB cord that came with your iPod, to one of your computer's USB ports.
2 - Open up your iTunes program.
3 - Once iTunes has loaded, wait several seconds for your iPod to show up in iTunes (hopefully it will, at least. It might not, though).
4 - If/when your iPod is recognized, you should see it's name listed under "Devices" on the left side (called the "Source list").
5 - At this point, iTunes should automatically go to your iPod's page in the Source List, so that you can see its details and info in the main right area of iTunes. You can always just click on your iPod's name in the left panel if this doesn't seem to happen.
6 - Now that you've clicked on your iPod, you will see some text, images, info, etc. regarding your iPod, in the main right display area of iTunes. Look at the top and you'll see that there are tabs ("Summary", "Music', "Photos", "Movies", etc.).
7 - You are currently in the Summary tab, which is where you want to be. Now, find the button in this area that reads "Restore", which has a brief description to the left of it.
So, the Summary tab is actually what you land on, be default in iTunes when you click on your iPod's name in the left panel.
Does that make more sense now?

  • Restoring ipod nano again and again

    Hi
    My ipod nano is saying "use itunes to restore" when i am doing that, itunes keps telling me to do it again. I just cant restore my ipod.

    Try putting your iPod into disk mode:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    And then try the restore again.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If it still doesn't work, you can try formatting the iPod:
    Click on Start, right-click on My Computer and click Manage
    Click on Disk Management (in the left-hand column)
    Wait for Windows to connect to the Logical Disk Manager Service
    When it does, you should see a drive listed that represents the iPod. (You can verify this by checking the capacity, which should be listed as slightly less than what is printed on the iPod. Or, you can open My Computer with the iPod disconnected, and then plug in the iPod to see which drive letter appears).
    Right-click on the iPod’s drive and click on “format”
    Set the parameters as follows:
    Volume label = iPod
    File System = FAT32
    Allocation unit size = default
    Uncheck the options for Quick Format and File Compression
    Click OK to start the format.
    When it’s done, try the restore in iTunes again.
    If all else fails, the iPod may need to go in for service.

  • After restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

    after restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

    I seem to recall that another user has this problem and found that it was because of some corrupted music files they were trying to sync over.
    Try syncing smaller bunches of tracks till you come upon the ones that cause the error. You should be able to find out which ones are causing the trouble this way.
    The other user said they used something called MP3Diags. I cannot vouch for this software at all, I have never used it.
    I did a quick search on "how to repair MP3 files on Mac" and also found this:

  • HT1339 after restoring ipod nano how do I get tunes back if they are in my music library

    after restoring ipod nano how do I get tunes back if they are in my music librbary- thanks

    Configure the music to sync back over to your device from under its Music configuration tab.  If your library is smaller than the capacity available on your Nano, you can set it to sync your entire music library by enabling the Sync Entire Library option from under this tab. Otherwies, you'll have to select only certain artists, albums, playlists, and genres.

  • HT1339 Restoring iPod nano to factory settings failed. The device switched to black screen immediately and is dead since then. Any idea what I can do now?

    This week, my iPod nano suddenly seemed to have lost all the music that was on it.
    when connecting to iTunes, it showed that the music was still there.
    I tries to create a new playlist with 1 song in it and according to iTunes, that was successfull.
    the iPod however still said 0 numbers are available in the music list.
    finally, i executed the restore factory settings and that process failed.
    the device immediately switched to blank screen and is dead since then.
    when I connect the iPod to the computer, the computer detects that a device is connected and even recognizes it as an iPod.
    however, the device is not visisble in the windows explorer.
    iTunes automatically starts but shows the error message: the connected iPod cannot be identified ... unrecognized error (2005).
    Does someone have an idea what I can do to make the iPod work again?
    thanks!

    I tried by connecting to another available PC.
    I newly installed iTunes on a PC that did not have the installation.
    Connecting the iPod to this PC gave following error: "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes."
    I followed the instructions in the "more information" section: iTunes version is the latest available; operating system version is up-to-date, no security obstructions and I rebooted my pc as suggested.
    Next attempt to connect the iPod gave another error: "An iPod has been detected, but could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error occurred (2005)".
    This is exactly the same error as on the first PC.
    the iPod is still out of use

  • Restore iPod nano

    I'm trying to restore my nano, so that I can sell it. I'm restoring it on a PC, its a Mac formatted iPod nano 2nd gen. It goes fine, but when it's downloading the latest ipod software updates... it sometimes says the network timed out, or when i click resume.. it downloads .. but downloads past the end of the total MB of the download.. for instance, Downloads: 23.0 MB of 20.9 MB
    What gives.. I'm trying to restore this ipod

    Attention All,
    As you may see from my different posts, I had the same problem with my iPod nano 2 Gb when I ( directed by apple instructions) decided to update to 1,1, had several problems with the synchronisation of files (songs) to the iPod. From Monday untill yesterday had several restores and nothing happened. Then decided to restore and retrieve my older update 1,0, and then the iPod simply worked fine!! Apple should see immediattly this issue as from what I've read a great number of Nanos are facing difficulties when updating to 1,1 !!! Please Webmaster or anyone from Apple take an attitude!

  • Restoring ipod nano using vista

    My son's ipod nano needs to be restored. We have the latest version of itunes and the nano is using 1.3 software. When I go into itunes and click on restore - a message pops and states the ipod software update server can not be contacted! I even tried going to the itunes store and a message pops that says itunes can not connect to the itunes store. I am not familiar at all with vista and was wondering if this is an ipod issue or does some network setting needs to be changed on my notebook? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

  • Registering iPod nano again ang again?

    Hi there
    Was just woundering, why iTunes wants me to register my iPod nano everytime i connect it to my iMac? Shouldn't once be enough?

    I have never seen any of the buttons you mention in the registration menue .
    When plugging in the nano you have 3 choices:
    - don't register
    - continue
    - the other one i have forgotten... cancle or something.
    By clicking continue you get into a page where to enter your acc, pw, and country. you can then either cancel or continue.
    Next page you can enter further details like name, last name, phone number etc...
    Best option here is the range of age where the iPod user is part of:
    At least in German versio there is a typing mistake - the range between 10-33 that is choosable should probably be 10-13 but who cares.
    You can then either choose cancel or continue again. By pressing continue you land in the iPod menue, where you can select which things to synchonice.. etc.
    But there is never one of the buttons you mentioned.

  • Unable to reset or restore ipod nano

    Hi, Haven't synced my ipod for over a year and today I connected my nano to my laptop, pressed sync and got a message to say files are corrupted. Looked at ipod and it was syncing however it’s actually wiped all files from the ipod. They're still in iTunes. I thinks it's something to do with ipod using file system FAT32. It seems the ipod wants to use that and it can't because it says another program is using it. It won't let me select another file system option, as it says they are in use too. I do have Mini Tool Partition Wizard on my laptop and don't want to uninstall it but I need to sync my ipod. Can anyone advise, please? thanks. (It may be nothing to do with mini tool as I've only used this to root my Sony Xperia smartphone).

    Hello dorminhoca,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you're unable to restore your iPod nano.  For more information on this issue and how to troubleshoot it, please follow the article below.
