Syncing New iPod Nano

I have an old iPod that I want to keep up to date, as well as a new iPod Nano - can I sync both devices with my iTunes account?  When I attach my new iPod Nano, the sync function is not available.

After you connect your iPod on iTunes, click on the iPod bar, that appears on iTunes, take a look:
What you neew to do now is just go to the TOP bar and click on MUSIC, there you can select the playlist or individual songs or albums you want to send to iPod.
A 2nd way is select your songs from the library and drop it to the iPod icon, behind "devices" Menu.

  • Problems syncing new ipod nano

    I was given a 7th generation ipod nano for Christmas. I installed itunes and it downloaded some of my music to the ipod including two books I had bought from Audible. It then refused to sync anything else, not even the music I've bought from itunes store. I've removed the audible files from the ipod and from the itunes library but I still can't add anything to the ipod. When itunes opens up it says sync is complete, but there are still only two albums on the ipod. I've tried restoirng the settings on  the ipod and when I tried to uninstall itunes my computer crashed, but itunes are still there with the same problems. I've now lost hours trying to resolve this

    Hello JoJo717,
    Congratulations on your new iPod nano!  It sounds like you have one computer but multiple iPods.  There are a three options when syncing multiple devices to one computer, and the article below outlines these methods.  I recommend reviewing the article to find a method that would work for you:

  • Help with Syncing new iPod Nano 7th Gen

    I just bought a new IPod Nano 7th Generation.  I set it up on iTunes and was able to sync music to it but was unable to sync photos from iPhoto or Photos (the new beta photo app with Yosemite).  When I chose Sync All Photos the only choice was the Pictures folder or other folder, thus only one picture synced.  I suspect this has to do with the beta Photos app but not sure.  Also my new iPod does not show up in the iTunes list of approved devices.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks so much.

    You have to shake the Nano again to get it to Shuffle to another song. If you want to shuffle the songs in your playlist, start a song from that playlist and then enable the Shuffle option from the additonal controls that you bring up on the Now Playing screen.

  • Can't sync new ipod nano - music not added

    My old ipod was stolen...bought a new ipod nano and I'm trying to sync...went to account to edit and tried to change computers...clicked on change country but there is still $.13 left on the account so it will not let me change computers...help please

    Hey danlizmil,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to move music from your iPod nano to your new computer, and you’re using the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes which isn’t copying music that wasn’t purchased from the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article linked below, it describes the supported ways to move your music to a new computer and provides more information about the Transfer Purchases feature.

  • New IPOD Nano will not sync.  iTunes recognizes it, I think.  It knows its there and says I can transfer purchases from it but it will not let me sync it to my existing itunes.

    I received a new IPOD nano for CHristmas.  Itunes shows it there on summary, it is showing with the eject symbol.
    However, when I go to file/sync, it allows me to transfer purchases but not sync it.  It also does not show up in my playlist like my older NANO does.
    I have reset, I have toggled security on and off.  I am current on the software on both my IPOD and ITunes.

    I was having the same problem...plugged in my new device and although I was able to set it up and it was recognized in iTunes, hit the sync button and nothing...even when it said it was syncing, still nothing. I am not sure this will work for you but I did two things that were suggested in this forum in combination with one another.
    First, I plugged my Nano into different USB port on my laptop from the one I was using. when I reconnected, my devie again was displayed in the top right corner. I clicked on it and the summary page appeared. The one thing I hadn't done is go to the "music" tab. When I arrived there I found that the "sync music" tab was unchecked for some reason. I checked the block and instantly the download started.
    As I said, I don't know if you have tried this or if it will even work for you but after an hour of frustration...I felt a little silly that it was something so simple I had negelected and thought I would share.
    Good  luck!

  • How do I sync iCloud/iTunes Match content with my new iPod nano?

    I have a MacBook Air with the associated small flash drive. For that reason, all of my music is in the cloud and some of it is via iTunes Match. I bought a new iPod Nano and I want to sync most or all of my music with that device for use when I travel and do not have WiFi available. When I did my initial sync it says I have 38 songs. Obviously those are only the ones on the local drive = recent purchases. How can I sync all of my music with this iPod whithout having to download all of my music to my MacBook first - an impossibility due the limited drive space? Or am I just out of luck and need to return the iPod to the store. Thanks!

    Ipod is not compatible to iCloud. The only way to load the music is through iTunes.

  • I only have 16bit windows vista on my laptop. Can I use my iPad to download songs from iTunes Store and sync to my new iPod Nano?

    I have a 16bit vista laptop which is unreliable and I do not wish to use it to transfer songs to my new iPod Nano. Can I sync downloads from my Apple iPad instead?

    You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
    Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

  • My new iPod nano replacement isn't syncing with all my songs...

    Like the title say, my new iPod nano replacement isn't syncing with a number of my songs. They aparently aren't the correct format, however they range from imported CDs to purchased music from iTunes... They all appear to be the same 'kind'. Infact, it looks like none of my library has synced. What could be causing this? (The library worked on two different iPod touchs and the 1st gen iPod nano)
         Thanks guys!
    -- I had an idea shortly after posting this to restore it to factory settings... It seems to have fixed it.

    Theis is the iPod touch forum. I requested moderator move your post to the Nano forum.
    BTW, my 7G Nano synces fine with my WIn 8 PC.

  • TS1363 i have the new iPod nano? but wont sync to my home pc?

    i have the new iPod nano? but wont sync to my home pc? it connected then tells me i have to disconect then also re connect after?
    but never gets any further?

    If you mean that iTunes does not see your iPod:
    - Did you try everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Try another cable
    - Try another computer
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT1386 I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th gen

    I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th Gen. Music syncs just fine.

    In iTunes, when your iPod nano (Hhhmmm! This is the iPod Touch forum, but never mind) is showing in iTunes, look on the Device/Podcasts pane and choose the Sync Podcasts options that you want.

    it doesnt give me any directions on syncing or connecting to my computer, can someone please help me??

    There should be an option (on the left hand side of your iTunes) for your iPod. Then when you click on it you will just need to setup and there will be an option to sync at the bottom right hand corner

  • Syncing a second new iPod nano.

    I am having problems syncing a second new iPod nano. iTunes is set to sync entire library 1100 songs but when it syncs it only adds 18 songs. Any suggestions

    You'll be fine. You can sync them both.
