TS1362 iPod Nano, iTunes 10.7 OS10x 10.6.8 cannot write onto disk, 2 separate iPods

I just added OSX 6.8 and iTunes 10.7 to my 2008 vintage iMac in hopes of using my new iPod Nano (16GB). I tried just about just about every trick I could think of to isolate and handle the issue, but I kept getting the same message: "Attempting to copy to the disk '..... iPod' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." [with big red stop sign to solidify the impression]. Exasperated, I went for a Genius bar consultation, and was relieved when the agent said that it had to be a problem with the particular iPod. He promptly replaced the iPod with a matching one. I went home and crossed my fingers. "Surely, it must have been the defective iPod that was the problem," I thought to myself. Much to my dismay, the replacement did not work either - I got the same "Attempting to copy to the disk ... failed." I have updated my phone and that works just fine, so I am really stumped. Is it possible that the replacement was also defective?
I really doubt that, but I cannot rule it out. I believe it to be some kind of software glitch, but I am trying to get in touch with someone who might know how to fix this problem. I don't really think that I should have to go to the genius bar again over this. The convenience factor for this product has really gone to pot for me. Please write me, I would really appreciate a solution.
Thanks

I just looked at one of the boxes for the new nano, and it has this on the back:
Requires Mac or PC; USB 2.0; Mac OS X v10.3.9

When I plug in my iPod nano iTunes asks me to restaure it therefore loosing all my data. Also, there is no tag for Nike Run sync.

When I plug in my iPod nano iTunes asks me to restaure it therefore loosing all my data. Also, there is no tag for Nike Run sync.
Can I syncronize my iPod without loosing all its data?. How about syncronizing it to my iPhone?

Have you tried the steps listed here?

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

I have an itunes account. However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own. How do I do that? Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

I have an itunes account. However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own. How do I do that? Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service. Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time. You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario. It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

Multiple issues with new IPod Nano+ ITunes 7

I am a formerly happy and loyal Apple user, but have recently become disenchanted due to what I see as bad faith actions.
I bought a new Ipod nano for my wife and brought it home to set up. When I plugged it in, it told me that I needed ITunes 7. Fair enough, I go up to download ITunes 7, only to be told that it won't work with OS 10.2.8 and that I need 10.3.9. There is nothing on the IPod packaging that indicates that I can only use ITunes 7. So as far as I can tell, Apple wants me to pay another $129 to buy a new OS, so that I can use my new ipod. It doesn't give me the option to use it with my existing setup. Is there a workaround so that I can use my ipod with my existing OS?
I started transferring my music collection to a PC to see if I could make it work there, since ITunes 7 works with Windows XP, which I have. This creates a new problem, since I can't seem to get the DRM protected music I bought on my Mac through ITunes to work on the PC. Can't get it to load onto the IPod, which is my whole intent in transferring it. My solution now is to not buy anything more from Itunes, since it will be a pain to transfer it when I change computers. I am not going to burn CDs for 400 songs, just to load them onto another computer. It seems like there are solutions on the web that can help you strip the DRM protection from songs, so I plan on using those to be able to listen to the music that I paid for.
Sor far, I have spent multiple hours trying to make things work. I have no interest in anything other than being able to listen to my music on our Ipods. While I understand the necessity to protect copyrights and limit illicit sharing, Apple has gotten a little too manipulative of a loyal customer base. Apple can count me in the formerly happy, now alienated group.

Windows sees 4G iPod Nano, iTunes only wants to "Restore" it

My problem is a variation on what appears to be a constant theme around here. Windows XP will recognize my 4G iPod Nano (16GB). It even gives it a drive letter. However, iTunes will only display the Software Version and Serial Number on the DEVICES Summary tab page. In the Version section of the page I can click the Restore button, but the restore will fail approximately half way through with the following, and I discovered vague, error:
+The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1429).+
I've spent about 6 hours researching and troubleshooting this now, completing all the steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372 and here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493. I've also uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and the USB drivers a bunch. Still no joy.
I'm open to suggestions.

Could you confirm your Presario's *model number* for me please?

Serious Problem With iPod Nano/iTunes...

Hello all.
2 Months ago, I upgraded from a Dell Dimension 2800 to a 5100. I was using an iPod Shuffle. Upon connecting the device to my new computer, it would come up with 'iTunes cannot recognize the iPod' and so on. When trying to Restore Factory Settings, the process could not be completed. The Shuffle ended up breaking and was replaced by Apple. It still doesn't work in my computer.
I now have an iPod Nano, although the same problem occurs. I have reformatted my hard-drive several times, and have tested just the iPod with nothing else on the computer. Still the same problems. My USB Drives work fine, and Mass Storage works fine before installing iTunes and the iPod software. I am guessing that the iPod has corrupted my USB Drivers or something like that. I have followed all the help topics - they do not work. Both the Shuffle and the Nano work on other computers.
I know several people who have the same problem. I would like to know if anyone else has the same problem, and has any idea how to solve it?

Ipod Nano / iTunes registering problems

Evening all, got a 3rd gen iPod Nano today for my Birthday, charged it up while installing iTunes and setting up an apple account. I'm English so I set my location to England, nuff said; I then plugged in my iPod and it brought up the register screen in iTunes, i logged in with the above account then iTunes moved on to the personal info "Registration Information", it had all the info i had already input but it was saying i was from America and would not let me change this and if i just try to continue it says stuff about my info being invalid for an American (differences in uk and us phone and post codes) {it actually says "Postal Code must be a 5-digit number" in red and has red arrows pointing to the "State" selector and the Phone area code}. Any ideas?

Can I add a new iPod shuffle to my iPod nano iTunes library.

I want to buy an iPod shuffle but I'm not sure if I can sync the songs from my iPod nano to the shuffle? Is it a simple procedure? Once I have purchased songs is it OK for me to have them on more then one device? Can I add more than one device to my iTunes library?
Thanks,
Donna

You can sync songs from the iTunes library to your shuffle but NOT directly from the nano.
Is it a simple procedure?
Yes.

Yes.
Can I add more than one device to my iTunes library?
Yes...

Ipod nano, itunes and macbook

I have a brand new iPod nano. It came that way. I have a mac with 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6.
When I connect the iPod to my mac, it will connect briefly with iTunes and DiskUtility. The iPod screen says 'Synchronizing' for less than a minute, and then is ejected 'Ok to Disconnect'. Fade to the logo.
The iPod keeps cycling like this, and showing up and then disappearing from the device list in iTunes and Utilities.
Nothing from iTunes get loaded on the iPod; it's empty.
How do I do to fix this problem?

Send it back to apple. You got a dud.

Ipod nano - itunes

I was wondering how I could play music from my ipod on itunes when the ipod is charging.(with out backing up the music on my computer) thx

If the iPod is set to update manually, you should just be able to plug the iPod in, select it in iTunes, and click play. As long as the iPod is plugged into a powered hub, or plugged directly into your computer, it should charge while it is playing.

Ipod Nano -Itunes version that works with Windows professional 2000

Hi - Just purchased a Ipod Nano but I have Windows professional 2000. Is there a version I can download. Thanks Dianne

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
This works great! I was just about to give up when I found your post 2 days ago. I have searched and searched for it again to say how much I appreciate your information. Winamp works just great with my Ipod Nano 3rd gen. and Windows 2000. My daughter is thrilled, and I don't have to resell my Ipod Nano now, as I purchased mine from ebay for x-mas.
Thanks My Chile friend!
