Transferring from pc to itunes and ipod nano 7th gen
when i transfer music files from my pc i get the message to convert from wma or mp3 into aac format which is fair enough but often when they appear in my ipod the albums get split into two or more, sometimes 12 albums and also a lot of the titles of the tracks dont appear so that my ipod show blanks under an album or artists name when there are tracks there. any help out there please.
You have a few things going on that are not clear.
You can import your music into iTunes from the iTunes File menu, Import to Library. You can select a folder or a set of tracks. You do not have to import them individually. You can also just drag a folder of music and "drop" it on iTunes.
You can then, if you want to, copy your music to the iTunes folder. You don't have to, but if you want to go to File/Library/Consolidate Library.
If it says that music cannot be found this means that the music file has been moved since it was last played in or imported into iTunes.
To sync your music to your iPhone you can connect your phone to your computer, click on its name in iTunes, then either check "Manually Manage music and videos" in iTunes and drag your music onto your phone, or, what I think is much easier, UNCHECK this option, then click on the Music tab. Select the music you want on the phone, then click Sync.

HT1386 Play count wont update between iTunes and iPod Nano 7th Gen
I have a iPod nano 7th generation and have the latest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro... when I play music on my iPod and connect it to my computer, the play count doesn't update on my iTunes... The same can be said for when I play music on my iTunes...the play count wont update on my iPod... any ideas how to fix this? AK
If you want to make song files from your iTunes library available on your car audio system, and it connects using a USB port, a new iPod nano is a very expensive way to do it. If that's the only reason for getting the iPod nano, you should return it and get a cheap 8 or 16GB USB flash drive instead, which costs less than $20. Here's one that barely sticks out of the USB port.

You can then leave it connected in the car all the time, except for when you want to update the songs. An iPod is more fragile (especially screen and battery), and you'll have to always remember to remove it, in case the car overheats or freezes. It would also be a target for thieves.
For the audio file format, I can't believe any car audio system would ONLY play Window Media files, and not the most common type of audio files, MP3. Songs purchased from the iTunes Store, and those ripped from music CD (using the default settings), are in AAC format. It's possible the car system does not play AAC. So, I would try songs from your iTunes library that are in MP3 format.
You can use iTunes to convert songs from AAC (or any iTunes supported format) to MP3. So, if MP3 works, and you need details on how to convert audio format using iTunes, please post back. You cannot convert to WMA format (which is Windows Media audio) using iTunes. -

and tried on my Yamaha PianoCraft MCR-640. Sorry but I hear no music at all. Anyone has an idea what's wrong?Hi,
the Yamaha support says:
it may work or it may not, as the iPod nano is not mentioned in the user manual.
So I'm stuck and have to buy an iPod touch...
Should I like apple or yamaha more for these answers?
that's apple life... -
I accidentally dropped by old ipod in the garage and drove over it. So I bought an ipod nano 7th gen. to replace it. Can I transfer the itunes from my old ipod to my new one? I only have about 30.
AAll of your iTunes purchases can be re-downloaded again. Log into iTunes Store, select the Purchases tab for Apps, Music, etc.
if you've been syncing your old iPod with iTunes, you can restore everything to your new iPod from the old backup. -
Using windows 8 - receive message "ipod detected but cannot be identified properly" when connecting ipod nano 7th gen. Have unisntalled and reinstalled itunes from apple site as advised with no luck. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it please?
This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?
I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts. -
Is it possible to sync my itunes music from my ipad to my ipod nano 7th generation? My desktop computer is so old that I can't do it from there.
No, the iPad cannot sync to anything else since its not really a computer. You need a computer to do that.
How old is your computer? Make and Model?
Its not so much the computer, but more so the Version of iTunes installed on it. -

My ipod nano 7th gen no longer shows "Playlists" in the music menu. No changes made other than deleting one and adding one playlist to those synced. Synced fine in late February. Not working as of 3/7/2014.
I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
- Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How to stream movies from an ipod nano 7th gen
I just bought an iPod nano 7th gen and I own an Apple TV and a lightning connector to hdmi cable. Is there a way to put movies from my iPod on my tv
The 6th gen nano could not play videos, so it certainly could not stream them to a TV. It may have been able to show photo slideshows on a TV screen.
The 5th gen nano (plus 3rd and 4th gen) may have had the ability, but I don't think its output was HDMI. You could use this
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable
to output a composite (non-digital) signal to a TV. But the new nano has a Lightning connector, so I probably won't work (even if you use an adapter). -
Ipod nano 7th GEN no audio out from head phones jack
I am trying to use my Ipod nano 7th Gen with a monster wireless remote that connects to the charging and sync connection. The remote works fine and I can control the Ipod just fine with it, but when I connect the headphones to the headphone jack there is no audio. If I remove the wireless remote receiver from the charging sync connection the headphones jack works just fine. I am using a lighting speed to a 30 pin adaptor because the monster remote receiver is of the 30 pin format if that matters.
Please let me know if this is normal or if there is a work around. My intention is to use the Ipod connected to a motorcycle sound system using the headphones connection to connect it to the motorcycle system amp and control the Ipod wirelessly.
Thank you!Can you provide a link to the monster product, or the model name/number? If it's a Bluetooth product, it seems superfluous to connect the receiver to the dock connector, because the 7th gen nano has built in Bluetooth.
So, IF the remote control device is Bluetooth, you may be able to pair to it from the nano without connecting the receiver device to the dock connector.
If it's not Bluetooth, you may be able to find an equivalent remote control device that IS Bluetooth, and not need to connect anything to the dock connector, which seems to be the source of the problem.
