My playlists only appear in itunes when my ipod is connected, and it will not allow me to drag songs into playlists from the music library, can anyone help. Have downloaded newest version of itunes and using windows xp.

My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks

Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!

Ipod nano 1st gen 2gb will not charge makes buzzing sound when plugged u

this *** this is my 3rd ipod and i really want to know windows says usb plugged up thing not recongnized and has malfunctioed in the past i would slap my ipod and it would work this ***!!!!

Wrong term, perhaps, but I did finally drain it to the low battery warning. When reattached to the ac adapter, it will sleep when the play button is held down, or when sleep is selected from the main menu. After 1hr charge, I detached it and tried to do the same and it would not work.
I reattached it to the charger, and will let it finish charging. Sleep works again after I hook it back up - it's weird that it won't do it on it's own, though.

Have ipod nano 5th generation..will not sync dognostics in itunes says no ipod touch found...its a nano pass all other test

i have a ipod nano 5th generation. use to work fine now will not sync. have done the 5rs several times all that got me was no songs on my ipod at all. have latest version of itunes. when run diognostics test on itunes pass all but says no ipod touch found. whay is it saying no touch when its a nano? I will never purchase another ipod only worked until the warnety ended.

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

IPod Nano (5th Gen.) will not sync certain artist!

My iPod nano will not sync this one artist to my iPod and i have no idea why!!

Hello Doesitmatter (Nice ,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you doubled check for this Artist's songs from under the Songs category on your iPod? If you can find them there, the Artist's tracks are probably marked as "part of a compilation" from under the Info tab of the *Get Info* window in iTunes. Double check that setting and if you make any changes, re-sync your iPod to apply the changes and see if that helps.

Please help i restored my ipod nano and now my wheel will not let me pick songs rasie or lower the volume or even turn it off how do i fix this prob and can it be fixed its a ipod nano gen 4 or 5 i cant remember please help

Does this video play okay in iTunes? Have you tried resetting your Nano? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If it plays okay in iTunes, try removing the video from the iPod and resyncing it.

Ipod nano firewire error and will not turn off! PLEASE help

I am having the exact same problem as I see may of you unfortunate Apple users are. I am receiving the error message about firewires and I have never used one. The nano will not turn off and I have to let the battery run out. The play/pause function works perfectly fine, but not to turn off the nano. The sleep function does not do anything either. I am so disappointed with Apple because they would not help me on the phonbe since it is well past my first 90 days of ownership. I may have gotten a single drop of water on it, but that was about 2 weeks ago, and still having the same problems. I don't know what to do, but I see that Apple has gotten mighty rich off of their JUNK products! Anyone out there, help me please!

Do a reset. You will not lose any data: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If this does not help resore from a backup. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Lastly try restoring to factory settings.
If none of this works, it's probably a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your Apple store. You are under warranty and they will fix or replace it on the spot.

I-pod nano (2nd generation), Music will not play. HELP

When I go under music and then click songs, my songs list comes up. When a click on a song the artist and title come up but the song does not play. The screen shows the time of the song but nothing plays. I am on vacation and I do not have my music saved where I am at. Is there anyway to fix this without resetting everything and losing my music. Thank you

that's kinda a had question... but here goes!
my thought is that either the files aren't encoded correctly to be played on the iPod nano, or the power from the iPod isn't reaching the earbuds.
The first thing, have you tried a different set of earbuds? it may be an issue of the headphones.
Second, if that doesn't work, when you get back, check your computer to make sure the songs you want are one of the following: AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps), Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format), MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR), WAV, AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4) and AIFF files.
This could be the problem. Check the Info menu of different songs in iTunes to find out the coding of the song.
If all fails, take the iPod to an Apple Store, there may be an underlying problem with the nano.
good luck!

How to listen to radio when the iPod nano is docked?

On the iPod, the antenna for the radio is the cable of the earspeakers. However the earplug is on the same side as the docking plug. Is there any accesoire for that or should I make my own design?

If your docking station has a line-in input, you can get a male to male audio cable and it will act as the antenna. I just did this with my nano and it works fine. Only prob is you can't adjust the volume with your docking station remote and the vol on the nano only goes so high. Hope this helps.

Windows Vista - iPod Nano charges, setup wizard will not start

Help!
I have a new PC, and it's Windows Vista.
I have connected my iPod, and it has charged up, but the setup wizard has not come on?
How do I save music to my iPod? My PC recognises it as an iPOD, and I can drag and drop things into it as though it is a storage device. However, my iPod does not recognise this music or photo's when I turn it on and try to play stuff? There are no instructions in the box. It's brand new from argos! Never had one before, so don't know what to do.
Please help.

Sorry you are having problems.
Could it possibly be any security related software that is preventing this ?

TS1382 My replacement iPod Nano is frozen and will not shut down or stop playing. I cannot operate the touch or slide functions...truly frozen.

I have tried to reset the IiPod, but an unsure of how to properly reset the instrument.

To do a hard reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around, so don't be afraid to try it more than once.
If you are still unable to get any sort of response, you'll need to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and see if things are back to normal.

My ipod nano (the new one) is not playing songs?

I uploaded songs on it and put the ear phones in my ears and it still is not working. Plesase, how do I fix that?

The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an Apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

When I go to Youtube, certain videos will not play now. This only happened after I downloaded firefox 4. I tested all of the plugins like the troubleshooting page recommended, but still nothing. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

If I try to play a certain person's vevo videos for example they won't play. Other videos posted by people will play, but it seems like if it is an official page by whoever (Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, etc) they won't play and I have no idea why.

It seems to be any videos that have an ad that play before them won't start. I'm thinking it may be an issue related to Flash.

HT201436 A voicemail shows in visual voicemail, but when I tap it to listen, it will not play

I see messages in my visual voicemail, but when I open them to listen, the play is greyed out.

close out of the phone app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and thne release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then check voicemail again.

My email notifications pop up when the screen is locked but it will not play sound.

All other sounds play. The alerts pop up but the phone is silent. How can I make it ding again?

Try tapping Settings > Notifications > Mail > the email account, then verify the New Mail Sound is set.
If it is, but it still isn't working, try restarting or Resetting all settings from Settings > General > Reset.
