When I sync my ipod nano my pc crashes

I've just formatted my pc, and i've noticed to have a problem with my nano. When I sync it, my pc crashes, it seems frozen. When it happens the only thing I can do is to push the reboot button on the pc case.
In the past, I already noticed this kind of error, but when I formatted my pc, all was working well, but now for other reasons I formatted my pc again and I have this error again. What's the problem??? Can someone help me???

I have come across the same problem and have looked around and it seems as if the Nano 3rd Gen is crashing computers. My macbook works fine with my itouch and classic, but as soon as I plug in my Nano the grey screen of death appears.

Some have been able to resolve it by removing podcasts and/or rebuilding their iTunes library.

Is your iPod configured to sync these tracks? How do you have your iPod set up to sync music from your iTunes library?

When I sync my iPod nano 3rd gen to iTunes, it says that my contacts can't be synced because there are none, but I defninately have contacts. I didn't have this problem before.

I didn't have this problem before and I have no idea what's wrong. Is it just because it's a newer computer or newer system? The contacts (that I know I have) just don't sync.

Go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner and select 'About this Mac' - it will show you which version of OSX you are using.

How do I fix a driver? When I go to sync my ipod nano, I get the message to fix my driver?

How do I fix a driver? When I try to sync my ipod nano, generation 5, I get the message on my windows 8.1 computer, that my driver needs fixing. When I click on having that fixed, it does not do that.

I did get that suggestion from utube, however, in the past when I removed iTunes and downloaded again, I was not able to download any podcasts at all. I found out through the goodness of an Apple employee's heart to check off a particular item by clicking on the icon of an ipod. Since that icon is no longer available on the updated version, I am afraid I will lose everything I already have on my ipod. I am finally able to do some of what I want to do. Thank you for your suggestion though.

When i try and sync my IPOD Nano it says 'some of the items in the itunes library were not copied because they could not be found'. Unfortunately this is pretty much all my library! Help!

This means iTunes can no longer locate the file in the location specified via the Get Info window for each individual track. See the article for assistance.

I have a 27" iMac with the latest version of iTunes. I tried restoring my iPod and even removing and re-installing iTunes. What eventually worked for me was plugging into my PC and restoring/reformatting it to work with my PC. I don't know why it wouldn't work with my iMac, but now it seems to be working.

Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

You would be better off posting in the iTunes for Windows forum area since your issue is with that rather than an iPod Nano.

My husband and I are using the same computer. He has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want...but when I sync my iPod I get all of his songs too. Is there a way of setting up another ITunes account without having to untick all of the ton songs iTunes

My husband has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want on my iPod nano. Is there a way to set up a separate account on the same computer in iTunes? Do I have to un-tick all of his songs (would take forever!! And then he would have to tick them again)....when we sync our iPods?

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

I am unable to sync my ipod nano to my itunes.

I am unable to sync my ipod nano to my itunes. I have windows 8 and have updated everything on my computer and followed all of the tutorials for syncing. My ipod is recognized and my itunes says "ipod sync is complete" but I dont have any music on my ipod still... Help Please!

You probably need to set up automatic syncing. If you have not set up anything to sync, iTunes will still sync, but sync nothing.
If you "updated everything," you probably have the new iTunes 12. Connect the iPod. Look on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), and click the "device button" (it looks like the connected device). This shows the iPod's "management" screen.
In the sidebar (along left side of window), under Settings, click Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Check the box for Sync Music, which enables automatic syncing for Music. NOTE: If that was box not checked already, and you manually added songs to the iPod previously, any songs on the iPod now that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.
Below that, if your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on your iPod completely, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.
Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select what you want to sync from the lists of playlists, artists, albums, and genres. The "capacity bar" at the bottom of the screen shows you how much space on the iPod you are using. A convenient way to do this is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put only the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists. Or you can use existing playlists. Then, on the iPod's Music screen, only select (checkmark) the those playlists, under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod based on your selection on the iPod's Music screen. Going forward, changes in your iTunes music library sync automatically to the iPod (based on how you set up the iPod's Music screen). If you selected playlists to sync to the iPod, to update songs on the iPod, just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes.
