Why doesn't I cloud update my nano 5th generation?

When I add new music from iTunes to my iPad 2 my nano doesn't update even though icloud updates my computer. Why?

Because your nano has no Internet capability.

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer. Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results? If so how do I do this? Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is? Very new/green user here

Please take a screenshot of the following:
Go to the Apple menu which appears in the upper left of the screen, then click About this Mac. Screenshot the window that pops up.
Also under the Apple menu, run Software Update. After it checks for updates, screenshot the window of available updates.

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Why does my nano 5th generation NOT have radio?

I bought a used nano 5th generation...8GB and there is no radio option on it....everthing I find on-line says it should have it....anyone know why?

No, any wired headphones will work but be sure they are plugged all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

Does this happen with any song or video you play? If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

Howdy Lumagofe,
I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
All the very best,

IPod Nano 5th generation cannot connect to the computer

My Nano 5th generation cannot connect to my computer when the device is connected to a USB cord. I have an existing library which I have synced to numerous times but all of a sudden, the iPod does not connect using the USB cord. I've tried changing ports on the computer but to no avail. I share the computer with another user who has a totally different library (their's is an iPod Touch) and there is no problem connecting this iPod Touch to the computer and iTunes library. I cannot figure out why the Nano 5th generation is not connecting by way of the USB cord. Somebody please help me

Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB port? Sometimes this can fix the problem of a device not being seen by a computer.
And i share you a column about [iPod Transfer|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod_Transfer]. This has worked perfectly for me everytime I've tried it.
Hope it can do you a favor.

Hold button is sticking and wheel buttons are going on iPod nano 5th generation

I have four iPods. One 30gb classic that doesn't work at all. Another inoperable one is a 2 gb (dropped in water) nano that they don't make anymore. Another is an 8 gb touch, and the last is a 16gb nano 5th generation. My main concern is the 16gb nano. The hold switch is sticking sometimes, and the previous and menu buttons are not working. The previous button went first, now the menu button has been going out. I have to press it 6 or 7 times sometimes more. I saw the support document stating that it was being pressed during calibration after switching it off of hold, but I don't think that is it. I am going to try the r's after their advice doesn't work. I am waiting for the next button to start doing it and then the play/pause. There is no problem with the wheel as far as volume or selection. I have taken excellent care of this device, and I am hoping they recall like they did with the first gen nano. I am crossing my fingers! There is barely a scratch on it.
BTW, the 5th gen classic I have was doing really weird stuff. It would play after being completely charged. But, if you changed albums or songs at all, it would go to the reset screen with the apple logo and freeze up. I think I am going to get a new battery, I hope it works. I have almost 100gb of music, 16 doesn't quite cut it anyway. It also won't recognize this device in iTunes. So, the troubleshooter is no help.

1. Go to the iTunes Store. In the bar that goes across the window, click on iTunes U. These are lectures and other material contributed by many educational institutions. They are free.
2. I don't know. But once it is on your iTunes library, you can change the Media Kind by doing a Get Info on the item in iTunes. On the Options tab of the Info window, set the Media Kind to Audiobook.
3. I don't know. You'll probably know tomorrow...
4. No. I can't think of a way to do that, not as a voice memo recording. If you can convert the voice memo recording from the iPhone into an MP3 or AAC file, you can add it to your iTunes library as a song. You could then sync it to the iPod, like you would with any song file.

When i go to sync my ipod nano 5th generation i get an error saying "A duplicate file name was specified". what do i do then?

I am trying to sync my iPod nano 5th generation to my computer and when i go to add music through iTunes i get the following message:
The iPod "X's iPod" cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified. Any ideas how to fix this?
On my computer (iMac) while in iTunes it is showing that the music is indeed on my iPod, but when i eject the iPod there is nothing there.

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.

Nike + sensor isn't recognized by my iPod nano (5th generation)

I've tried everything but I can't get my new iPOD nano (5th generation) to locate my sensor. I've tried rebooting the iPOD, I've tried turning the senor on and off a bunch of times and nothing. The battery isn't low. Any other suggestions?

if you haven't already figured it out; you have to also have the Nike+ receiver - it's the little white plug that plugs into the bottom of the ipod nano
there's MAJOR confusion among apple employees who say that the 5th generation ipod nano, which i recently bought, automatically detects the sensor - but it doesn't. You need the sensor AND the receiver.
hope this helps; albeit a little late. cheers-

IPod Nano 5th Generation Stuck in Recovery Mode even after Restore.

Hello,
I have an iPod Nano 5th generation (model number A1320) that I would like to completly restore to working condition.
Currently it is stuck in "recovery mode".
I have followed the steps given by Apple here on a Microsoft Windows system with the latest Apple iTunes software but after step 9 I am back to "recovery" mode where I am given the option of performing the restore process all over again.
How can I restore this iPod Nano?
Thank you.

My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping randomly within a song and sometimes skips to new songs.

My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping randomly within a song and sometimes skips to new songs. I have tried resetting it. I have tried updating and adding new software. I even tried just leaving it off for a few months and still it has this problem. The shake skip setting is not on. What I am to do? Also it is out of warrenty

Since you have already tried a hard reset, perhaps you could try a full restore of the Nano in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the iPod, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. This would rule out the possiblity of data corruption or a software glitch on the device.
