Unable to sync pictures to iPod Nano

I tried to sync 1 folder of 1 picture to my iPod Nano Black 8GB. When i press apply in iTunes, it says do not disconnect iPod, but my iPod screen doesn't say Do Not Disconnect like it usually does when it syncs. After a minute or two, it says disk use is unavaible.

In the summary display for your nano, under the Music tab, is Sync Music checked?

Syncing problems from itunes to Ipod nano 5th generation

I purchased music off of iTunes and it transferred to my PC, but now it won't sync to my iPod nano 5th generation. I know I have iTunes version 11.2.2, the latest version.

ITunes on my Mac Mini won't sync with my iPod nano. Any suggestions

Does anyone know why my iTunes won't sync with my iPod nano. When I follow all the directions, the last step says "Click on Apply", but there is no "Apply" on the screen.

Double check to make sure podcasts and configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it. Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.

Purchased a tune on iTunes that shows up in my iTunes playlist on my PC but when I try sync with my iPod nano, the new song doesn't show up.

I purchased a tune on iTunes that shows up in my iTunes playlist on my PC but I tried many times to sync my iPod with iTunes and the new song doesn't show up in my iPod.
Any idea how to fix that?
Thank you for your help!

Hello there Beluga111,
It sounds like you have a newly purchased song that is not syncing to your iPod Nano, but there is no error message. I would start by restarting your computer, and resetting your iPod with this article:

Sync the device again, and if the issue persists, I would restore the iPod Nano with this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting. A phone can only sync with one library at a time. You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced. To know which you will have to provide the information.
If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

After i purchase music, my songs arent syncing to my ipod nano?

After I purchase music, my songs arent syncing to my ipod nano?

I have the same question. My Itunes is on my laptop, my ipad, and my nano. I just purchased new songs on my ipad. You can see them in the ITunes Library on my ipad and laptop. I plug in my nano and manually press SYNC as it is not doing it automatically. It looks as though it is syncing, but newly downloaded songs do not show up on nano. Help...

HT1414 I am unable to sync iTunes or iPhoto. I get error message 1140.

I have a new iPhone 5. I am unable to sync iTunes or iPhoto to it. I get an error message every time "iPhone cannot be synced. Unknown Error 1140". I'm using OS 10.8.2 and IOS 6. Does anyone know if there is a fix on the way from Apple for this?

Download and install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update, which was just released today. It may be the answer to your problems:

Transferring songs from ITunes to IPod Nano

I have IPod Nano 5th Generation, and the latest IMac operating system.
Had no problems until today, because yesterday I downloaded the brand new ITunes 11.0 (163). Trying to transfer songs from ITunes to my IPod Nano. Not sure if I should submit this question in the ITunes section or the IPod Nano section, so did both.
ITunes used to - until today - show my device (IPod Nano and its playlists) on the left side column of ITunes, above the ITunes playlists. So I could just click on a ITunes song on one of the ITunes playlists and drag that song into one of the IPod Nano playlists above it. Now with this new version of ITunes nothing shows up on the left side, so I have no way of dragging songs from ITunes to IPod Nano. An IPod Nano icon does appear on my desktop, but clicking on it or its contents does not show any IPod Nano playlists. I could click on the IPod Nano icon on my desktop and then click on "all files" on top. There is an area that shows all the IPod Nano songs (I think), but it does not show the IPod Nano playlists.
1) How do I get the IPod Nano playlists to show?
2) Please advise how to transfer songs from ITunes to IPod Nano playlists when using this new ITunes 11.0.
3) If this cannot be done, is there a way for me to go back and reinstall the previous version of ITunes?

I don't think the late/great Steve Jobs had this "new and improved" version of ITunes to be so darn frustrating. It used to be relatively simple to put songs into a playlist or to import purchased songs from ITunes into an Apple device such as the IPOD Nano. "Simple" used to be the selling point of Apple products. What happened? With this new version, I feel like I've got to contact Apple Support to do simple tasks. It seems like I'm not the only person having this problem.

HT1459 I am trying to send my sisters songs to her computer that I have downloaded on my computer? I have all her songs on 1 playlist that she needs to sync to her Ipod Nano?

You can try unsycing all music and resyncing.
