Upgrade Nano to 1.2 with iTunes 6.0.5

I upgraded my Nano to 1.2 so that I could do the Nike running thing, it worked for a week and now can't see my Nano. It gives me the message below.
The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod’s software.
What should I do/

i read somewhere that if you have more than 1 user acct set up on your computer and you used the quick change user acct function that'll happen. just log off both users and try again.

  • HT1414 My Nano will not sync with iTunes.

    Nano will not sync with iTunes.  I get an error to retry or to reinstall.  I've tried most of the troubleshooting suggestions on the website.  I have not reinstalled.  My iPhone and iPad both sync with no issues.  The computer recognizes the Nano.  Is reinstalling my only option?  This started when I tried to update my devices with new music.  I noticed the error the next morning before my run and my Nano all the sudden had no music.  Went to re-sync and I received the error.

    It could be a number of issues, such as the soddering that connects the 30-pin adapter that then connects to your computer could have come loose. However that is unlikely unless you have dropped your device a lot. But for anyone to be of more assistance you will need to provide more information. Such as: does the divice still show up in iTunes? If not then you may have to put it into DUF mode, or you could bring it in to your nearest apple store and see how much help they can be. Caution: once in DUF mode you should be able to restore the device to its orginal settings and the newest software, but you will have to re-sync your libary, redo all of your selections ect. unless you have a local backup on your coumputer which you should be able to acess by [option]-click the restore button and selecting the latest backup, (at least I believe its [option]-click).
    Hope this helps.

  • After restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

    after restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

    I seem to recall that another user has this problem and found that it was because of some corrupted music files they were trying to sync over.
    Try syncing smaller bunches of tracks till you come upon the ones that cause the error. You should be able to find out which ones are causing the trouble this way.
    The other user said they used something called MP3Diags. I cannot vouch for this software at all, I have never used it.
    I did a quick search on "how to repair MP3 files on Mac" and also found this:

  • IPod Nano won't sync with iTunes on new laptop

    When I first got my new laptop about a month ago I did the 'homesharing' technique to be able to use my iTunes on it, it worked successfully up until I tried to purchase new music from the iTunes Store & upload music into my Library from my laptop.. It just wouldn't sync onto my Nano! Every time I clicked the Sync tab nothing would happen even though the music had all been purchased/uploaded perfectly fine. I had ofcourse made sure my iTunes was 'activated' onto my new laptop, etc etc & when I went onto my old laptop to try it on there all the music DID sync onto my Nano.
    Since then I've re-installed iTunes several times even copied my full iTunes folder onto an external USB stick & transferred it that way & still my Nano will not sync with my iTunes! The new iTunes isn't helping much either as I find it quite confusing to work out as it's totally different. But yeah even with the new iTunes upgrade my Nano still won't sync.
    I'm at a loss, I've no idea what the problem is! Can anyone help?

  • Ipod nano does not sync with itunes library, ipod nano does not sync with itunes library

    bought an ipod nano, upgraded Itunes to version 11 running on Windows 8.
    My nano is set  up with a different apple ID than my main account, but it won't sync with my Itunes Library, When I plug it in via USB, the IPOD nano icon shows up in Itunes, but when I do File>Devices>Sync,  the Snyc is grayed out.
    does the differenct apple ID on the nano have anything to do with the fact that it is different from my Itunes Apple ID, is that causing a problem? Most of the music in my library is uploads from CDs I had already owned, not Itunes purchases. 
    Solutions?

    Automatic syncing is set up on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes, which is where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.
    To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked.  Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits on iPod.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
    With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab.  For example (if you want to keep it simple), you can create a new playlist in iTunes and add all songs you want on the iPod to that playlist.  Back on the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.  There are many ways to set it up...
    When you Apply the change, your selection of songs syncs to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
    Therefore, if you create that playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs) whenever you want, and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.

  • Nano not quite friends with iTunes

    Everytime I connect my iPod or a friends iPod (both nanos) to my computer after iTunes recognizes the device it ejects it. Ive changed the USB port i use (for reference I use an eMac 1.25 Ghz).
    If I change the permissions for iTunes by making the owner me and not the system and then selecting the permissions as "no access" my iPod will stay mounted to my computer.
    I've reinstalled iTunes and that didn't work. Ive done a whole system restore on my mac and that also didnt work. Any ideas? I thought maybe it was a song on my iPod that i downloaded in a shifty and shady way (limewire...aqlite...the such. listen I'd love to use the iTunes store for all my music needs but there are some songs and artists iTunes doesnt have) but i quickly threw away the theory of that because my friend doesnt have any of the same songs as me. Very different taste in music. SO what are your thoughts?
    Any help or insight would be useful, Thanks
    eMac 1.25 GHz, 512 RAM, Superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    OK this works for Windows, and I'm not sure about mac (I don't have access to my mac to experiment right now). When you connect the iPod, if you press and hold ctrl+shift, it will keep iTunes from recognizing the iPod and opening. Try ctrl+shift, opt+shift, and apple+shift to see if it works on the mac. It might be a Windows-specific command to stop any autoplay though, so there may be no or a completely different mac equivalent.

  • Will my iPod Nano (5th generation) work with iTunes 11.1.3 (8)?

    I have not synced it for a while and I do not want to loose what I have. Does anyone have experience with this? I have not heard good things about version 11. I just have music, no videos and maybe an audio book or two, and my iPod is 8 GB. I am running OSX 10.6.8 and do not particularly want to upgrade.
    Thanks--

  • Nano no longer works with iTunes, Updater

    I got my nano, hooked it up, put music on it, everything worked fine. I was showing my wife how the photo bit worked and the screen went all black pixels and froze. I did a reset and now I am stuck with what I have on the thing. Windows sees the iPod, but neither iTunes or the updater can communicate with it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have tried on other computers as well, no luck. Come on man! Now I get to send it back and wait for another one, you would think for $250 these things would work a little better. Anybody else have this problem?

    Welcome to the forums!
    Is there an Apple store near you? If so I would go there and meet with their Geniuses <sp>. They can help you sort it out. If they find that the iPod is truly broken they may just offer a replcement on the spot.
    The only suggestion I can offer is to switch the hold switch off and on a few times and do the reset again. Sometimes that will work when just a simple reset will not. Reset is the menu and center button at the same time.
    I know how it feels to be unlucky with a new gadget. Have to keep in mind that they have made millions of these and a few will have problems.

  • IPod nano no longer syncs with iTunes

    Lately when I attempt to sync my 2nd generation nano to iTunes, the iPod will not show as being recognized and the software becomes unresponsive. I do get the "do not disconnect" message on the iPod, but I must disconnect because there is no other option. The moment I disconnect, iTunes says it cannot sync because a folder was not found. Can someone offer some assistance?
    Thanks very much,
    Scott

    Yeah, I am having trouble with syncing my iPod as well. I get the following error message: "The pod 'My name' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred [-48]" Anyone have this problem?

  • Nano can't communicate with iTunes

    When I open iTunes (6.0.4.2) it works fine. I can use it to listen to Music on my PC but when I connect my nano to my computer I get the DO NOT DISCONNECT thing and iTunes says "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly...". I have gone through iPod appears in Windows but does not appear in iTunes to no avail. I can't put new songs onto my iPod.
    Also the iPod updater (2006-01-10) says "iPod service error" as soon as I start it up even if the iPod isn't connected. So I can't restore my iPod. I have tried reinstalling the updater and iTunes from the Apple website and from my disc but that didn't help.
    Windows media player and Windows explorer can both access the iPod but I'd much prefer if I could use iTunes.
    Before all of this started heppening it was working fine and I managed to get some songs onto my iPod but I can't put any new ones on. It stopped working when I got the latest iPod updater but it might now be because of that (because I hadn't used the updater, only installed it, when it stopped working).
    Is there anyway to fix all this?
      Windows XP  

    The errors you getting suggest something wrong with the iPodService, suggesting it not working correctly, as connecting the ipod does not work, and the update detects a problem with the service.
    Suggestions
    1) Check the service properities for the ipodService.
    Goto Control panels >> Administrator Tools >> Services
    Scroll to the iPodService and right mouse click and select properities.
    Check the following
    Path is C:\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe
    Enabled and started
    Logon (tab) is set to local system account
    Dependencies (tab) shows RPC Remote Procedure Call and RPC is started.
    2) Would thought deinstall and reinstall would of worked.
    Before deinstalling stop the service (iPodService) Suggestion deinstall the ipod for windows (add remove programs control panel)again. Check the service has been removed. Reboot.
    3) Manually remove the service and reinstall the updater.
    This usually requires searching the regedit for name of service and removing any entries, can be extremely dangerous so probably not recommended. But does sometimes resolve problems of services not working.
    3) Check Windows event view for errors as to this service.
    Goto Start >> Run >> %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s
    Type in : %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s
    and press enter, check to see if any errors are report for this service. And post them to forum or search apple support.

    Hello upthereds,

    I have purchased a windows 7, 64 bit laptop. I have a 2nd generation iPod Nano if I download the 64 bit version of iTunes will this cause problems with compatibility between my laptop, iTunes version 10.1 and the 2nd generation iPod Nano?

  • 6th gen nano won't sync with iTunes

    I was able to plug in and sync my nano when I first got it. But after I updated my nano, it shows this message: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identifed properly. I assume this is because the version of iTunes that I am using (10.1) is not compatible with the updates on my nano. However, this is the latest version of iTunes that I could get on my computer and I can't update to a later version (I have tried everything that has been suggested on the discussion boards). I can't return the nano to factory settings because that requires iTunes. I have tried formating my iPod, but all that did was erase all my songs off of it. Can someone please help me?

    However, this is the latest version of iTunes that I could get on my computer and I can't update to a later version
    Can you walk us through what happens when you try to update iTunes?
    If you get any error messages, let us know what they say. (Precise text, please.)
