Trying to set up new iPod Nano

Just purchased a new iPod Nano and am trying to hook up to my existing iTunes on my Mac. When I plug in the iPod, the computer does not acknowledge new hardware, so I haven't been able to get it set up yet. However, when I plug in my old iPod (mini), it acknowledges it and updates properly. Am I doing something wrong? Why won't the computer acknowledge that my new iPod is there when I try to plug it in? Have I left out a step?

Actually, do I need to re-install iTunes if I get a new iPod nano? I'm just assuming the new Nano will work with my existing iTunes, right?

Trying to load my new I Pod Nano onto my pc. Have tried numerous times and keep getting same message..."Error 2...Apple Application Support was not found. When I look at my control panel the only program that shows is "I Tunes". No other supporting programs are showing up in the control panel nor the Common Files nor in the Program Files (x86).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

When I look at my control panel the only program that shows is "I Tunes". No other supporting programs are showing up in the control panel nor the Common Files nor in the Program Files (x86).
That's an extreme case of this.
We'll try doing standalone installations of all the supporting programs.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install.
Doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone Apple Software Update install.
Doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.
Do those four installs go through okay? If so, does your iTunes launch without any errors now?

Trying to use my new Ipod Nano instead of touch

I have been using the older Ipod touch and just got the Nano. Is it possible to plug in the nano into my computer and upload the songs from my touch to the nano?? I'm not sure how to do it without losing all of the songs/videos

Connect the iPod nano to the computer and set it up when prompted. Nothing will be deleted from the computer or the iPod touch in any case.

ITunes locks up when trying to set up new iPod Touch

I just got a new computer that is 64-bit and runs on Windows 7...I downloaded iTunes today and set up an account and transfered purchased songs from my old iPod to my new computer. I plugged in my new 32g iPod touch and I am wanting to not register it. When I get to the screen that lets me name my iPod and check prefrences on what to sync I hit done and iTunes locks up. I have to go to task manager to shut it down. PLEASE HELP!!! I have had this iPod touch for a week and was waiting on new computer...got new computer but cant get iPod to work!!!

Yes, worth a try. It's probably worth doing a complete uninstall of all related programs too, prior to reinstalling iTunes. for instructions on that, see:
[Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923]
Note ... at the time of me making this reply, the instructions in there aren't quite complete for 64-bit systems. After step 14 of *Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled,* I'd also include the following two steps:
(14-1/3) Open the Common Files folder.
(14-2/3) Right-click the Apple folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
(There's a Common Files folder where Apple stuff is stashed in the program files folder as well as the Program files (x86) folder.)

When trying to sync my new ipod nano it gives me an error message (13019)

Iv had this Ipod for about a month and never had this problem until now, it will go through all of my songs like its syncing them but instead of finishing it gives me the error message. Can anyone help?

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

You said " I sign in but her music list shows up mixed with about 1/3 of mine."
Sign in where?
What music list?
It also sounds like that computer is not authorized for the account. You can only have 5 computers authorized for one account. If yo go to iTunes>Store>View account and then sign in it will tell you how many (but no what computers) are authorized. There is no way to find out what computers are authorized.
You can deauthorize all computer once a year.
See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

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: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

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!

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.
If you have a PowerPC Mac, buy a new, secondhand, or refurbished Intel Mac.
If you have an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. Then:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
