  • NEW IPOD NANO WILL NOT CONNECT CORRECTLY TO 2011 KIA SPORTAGE

    Have a new Ipod nano. when I connect it to 2011 Kia Sportage it does not display the song list correctly. Have cable that Kia sells and it worked with my old Nano but not not the new one. Same results with cable that came with new nano. Help please

    Alternatively, you can always use a double ended 3.5mm audio plug and just manipulate the playlist via the iPod and not the radio.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side you can use the Music tab to select which of your music that you want on the iPod.

  • New iPod nano doesn't show on iTunes and I'm tired of it.

    Since Feb. 24, I've tried and tried to put music on my new iPod nano with no success, and I am extremely sick of it. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I know for some reason the ipod service doesn't show up and now I cannot connect my older iPod to iTunes. When i try to repair it, it says the service can't be stopped. My mom spent $200 on this iPod and I'm getting in trouble for not being able to put music on it. I've spent hours uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and trying to stop the stupid service and I cannot take it anymore. I've always had issues with iTunes and put up with it but this is ridiculous. The ipod shows on the computer but obviously doesn't work on iTunes. Can anyone please help?

    I tried to stop the ipod service so I could plug the iPod and then restart it but it said error: the ipod service could not be stopped on the local computer. Error 1053: it said something about control and the service not being stopped in a timely fashion.

  • New ipod nano doesn't fit new ipod hifi

    I just bought a new 4 meg ipod nano and apple ipod hifi from the London Apple Store. The ipod nano doesn't fit in its adapter. Anyone know of this problem? I'm gobsmacked that Apple's quality control let this happen!
    Thanks

    The page
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    clearly says:
    In the box:
    * iPod nano
    * Earphones
    * USB 2.0 cable
    * Dock adapter
    * Quick Start guide
    If the dock adapter is missing, which is what you need, because the iPod Hi-Fi only ships with an adapter for the 1st-gen iPod nano, then you need to contact Apple or your retailer.

    I have been given a new ipod nano to replace my much loved but old ipod. When I plug it into my laptop to sync it I get an error message stating "itunes.exe - entry point not found. The procedure entry point AVCFAAssetCreateWithByteStreanAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library

  • New iPod Nano G3, Cannot Connect to Win2K any work arounds?

    Be advised you will not be able to Restore or Update your Nano using Winamp, or buy or rent anything from the iTunes Store. Your best bet would be to update your OS.

    Your speaker has probably auto connected to your phone so the Nano can't see it. Turn off BT on your phone and any other BT devices you've connected with, put the speaker in pairing mode and try again.

    i have reinstalled the ipod (updater 03-23-2006) firmware and the itunes software (just in case). ive gone to the apple website, forum and discussed the problem with their technicians but no luck getting it solved.
    i went to the apple website and filled in a service request to have a new usb cable sent to me, thinking that this could be the problem. no luck with the new cable and other usb devices including my phone and camera all work.
    i just want to know how i can get this thing to work and play my music again. any assistance will be greatly appreciated. if im missing information, please let me know. thanks.

    Hello, lanboyo, JC, and Utah Mike!
    First--You may have done this, but have you tried the Five R's? Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore.
    If you have sucessfully done them with hardly any help, then let's keep going:
    Second--You may have read this Apple aritcle before, but I'll link you to it anyway.

    If it's showing up in My Computer as "F:IPOD" but not in the iTunes source list, check out this Apple article, and see if it helps.

  • IPod mini doesn't connect in Windows after doing an Update

    Please help!
    I promised to put some music om my friend's iPod (1st generation) from my computer. When I connected it with my computer, i first did a new update. After that the problems began!! After completing the update the ipod showed a picure of an adapter, so i connected the iPod (2 days ago) to the adapter. But now, after reading of the internet about updating a 1st generation iPod, the logo still shows on the screen!! When i disconnect the iPod, it doesn't respond on anything but a reset, but when i reset it, i still get the picture of an adapter on the screen!!
    I've tried all the 'solutions' that are written on the Apple website, but they didn't help. And i still can't RESTORE the iPod, because my computer doesn't recognize the iPod anymore AT ALL!!
    My own iPod (2e generation) still works on Windows and is recognized everytime, but after the update my friend's iPod just doesn't get recognized on my computer!!
    Can somebody please help me to get a solution for this problem?!

  • Ipod nano does not connect to Windows and itunes

    Dear All
    in my family we have 3 ipods: a shuffle, a ipod 20gb and a nano. While the first 2 are easily connecting to windows and itunes, the nano doesn't and does not recognise the USB port of my laptop[message 'unkwnon device']. I have tried, I think, most of the suggestion I found on the apple support and in the forum. Does somebody know any 'special' tip, my son is really getting frustrated by this situation because he can't get the same music. Please help. Thanks in advance
    ciao

    Hello franbat,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your son's iPod nano.  I found an article with steps to address this:

  • IPod Nano would not connect to Windows or Format. *SOLVED*

    Ok, first post and I am just posting to thank those who have posted some different things to try, thanks to you guys, I have a working iPod Nano. Here is what I tried...
    The Problem
    iTunes would not see my nano and could not format the nano during install. Would just sit on "waiting for ipod..."
    The Solution -This worked for me, so I hope it works for you.
    After reading on this forum about problems and ways to fix them, I found out a few things. DO NOT install the iTunes that comes on the disk with the nano. Download the latest version off of www.itunes.com and install. Once finished, you will still not see the nano. That's ok. You need to download the software updater for the nano. This can be found @ www.apple.com/support/downloads and click on the iPod updater 2005-11-17. Download and install this program. After the program is installed, do one more thing before running it. (If you try, it will prob lock up, atleast that's what it did on me.) You need to check what drive letter that Windows has set the nano to be. My Windows install is set to E:/ and the nano was set to C:/ automatically. You need to right click on My Computer and click manage. After that opens, click on Disk Management and follow the prompts to change the drive letter to something else. I set mine to Z:/ since nothing is set there. After you have done this, run the iPod updater 2005-11-17 and choose the reset option after it has noticed the iPod. It will format the nano and re-install the new software on the nano. After that is complete, start up iTunes and it should see the nano and automatically help you set up some options. After that, enjoi!
    Now, this helped me and I installed and re-installed iTunes a few times. One crucial piece of information, is to restart Windows whenever the software asks you to. Do not take this lightly! I recommend starting fresh with no iTunes or iPod software and begin at the top. Others have written good posts on how to properly remove iTunes and iPod software. Do it to the letter!
    Well, that's what I did and hopefully it will help you too.

  • Brand New Ipod touch can't connect to windows.

    I bought a brand new ipod touch today and when I connected it to my laptop windows comes up with a message saying that the usb device is not recognised. I have the latest update for itunes and all of the correct drivers are installed. I have tried resetting the iPod but nothing works. Anyone got any ideas? I'm running vista if this makes any difference.

  • New Ipod nano not working with my Windows 2000

    I have just bought an ipod nano 8GB, and tried to install it. The latest itunes I can put on my computer is 7.3.2 as it is a Windows 2000 not an XP. Unfortunately the nano is saying it needs 7.4 and above. can anyone help please?

    I wish you would have asked or checked on the tech specifications for the Nano prior to purchase. These are the required tech specs, copied directly from the Nano page. I'm sorry there's nothing you can do.
    # PC with USB 2.0 port
    # Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    # iTunes 7.6 or later
