Unable to sync my replacement 7th generation Ipod Nano. Previous nano had no issue. Both Win7 and Win8 Pc's fail sync. I am an admin on both machines.

I don't know why my new 7th Generation Ipod fails sync diags on both Win7 and Win8 computers. I am an admin on both machines. The computer sees the device, but ITunes does not, but yet I can eject the ipod.

Recently, iTunes upgraded. My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync. The troubleshooting talks about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible) No other options and nothing about windows 8

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

HT4059 I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano and cannot get audiobooks to sync with it. The manual says this is a valid feature but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

I am trying to sync an audiobook from iTunes to a 7th Generation iPod Nano. The manual says audiobooks can be synced to this device by going to iTunes, selecting the Book button and selecting sync audiobooks but when I select the Book button I do not see any syncing options to select. What am I doing wrong?

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

Connect your iPod and in iTunes click on the name of your device which should appear in a tab towards the top right of the screen. In the tabs that appear click on music, pick what you want to sync, then click apply.

7th generation iPod nano

The screen on 7th generation iPod nano is cracked, can it be replaced?

Yes it can be. Click here, here and here for your options. the first "here" i suggest doing! The first one is a link to a walk in store setup and apointment page, there you can take it in and have it fixed. the second helps you choose your problem then find more options on getting fixed. Besides just taking your nano to a walk in store. The third will give you pricing,questions about repairs etc. This is defantently a lot of links but I made it so you can get your iPod fixed easier.

7th generation iPod apple accounts

I bought a 7th generation iPod nano from a friend. Is the iPod tied to any specific apple accounts? If so, how can I switch it to my account?

Hello Conner,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations on the iPod nano. It sounds like you’re concerned about potential Apple ID issues with your new device. For this type of iPod, the only thing I would suggest is removing content synced by the previous owner and restoring it to factory settings as shown in the article below.

If you would like, you can also add it to your My Support Profile.

7th Generation iPod Nano connection issue

My Dell Inspiron N7110 does not recognize my brand new 7th generation iPod Nano even when I use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.

Gee...I'm answering my own posts. But...this is the deal. Apparently, my iPOD Nano froze...and one thing I did not do was reset it. I did that, and by IPOD was suddenly recognized by my computer....and is now happily charging, etc. So, case solved.

7th generation ipod nano stops tracking my runs after a minute

7th Generation Ipod Nano: when using the fitness icon and running, it pauses every minute or so and i have to physically hit resume to start again and the mileage is off. Anyone know how to fix? I can't get it to calibrate because it won't make it through a whole work out to do that.

Is an earphone or Bluetooth headphone connected to the nano?
If its an earphone you can check the earpod jack on the iPod to see if there is any lint in it.
If there is no earphone or Bluetooth headphones connected, the iPod thinks play was hit by accident and pauses it to conserve battery.

Hi jkjuarez2012,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

Does anyone know why my music won't play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I tried resetting it already and that didn't work. Can someone please help?

Does anyone know why my music wont play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I've tried resetting it already but that didnt work. Can someone please help.

I would to a Restore. Select the iPod in iTunes. Go to the Summary tab for the iPod. There is a button there to do a Restore. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod. All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar. To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.
