6th generation ipod nano

at the time I had my iPod nano, I used has a member of the family because I had no one. (yes I know it's been awhile haha) and I have my own account that I want to use my iPod, and I was wondering if there was even a way to do this, or at least to be able to transfer music... ? as I would be able to disconnect from the old account and connect to my own? Sorry if I'm going to be really stupid, and it is actually very easy. honestly, I tried to look in the settings, but I couldn't find anything.

An iPod (which is not iPod touch) is not directly related to one Apple (iTunes Store account) ID.  It can be associated with the iTunes library that is used to synchronize, but is not identical to the Apple ID.  There is no step of registering a Apple ID for an iPod (which is not iPod touch) and connect it with a new one.  Simply connect it to your current iTunes library.  If you set it to Sync music with your current iTunes library, iTunes erases the existing content of the iPod (from the previous iTunes library) and replaces it with the contents of your current iTunes library.  It is then associated with your iTunes library in the future.

iTunes synchronization is generally one-way, from the iTunes library to iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer from iPod to the computer, with the exception of songs purchased on the iTunes Store (which have been purchased using your Apple ID).  It would be preferable to add songs in your iTunes library, of the original source and set your iPod Sync music from your iTunes library.

  • generation iPod Nano 7 jumping battery percentage

    Hello.

    I recently got an opportunity 7th generation iPod Nano and the battery percentage jumps around. I use it and it seems that it is half-percent or less then I turn off the screen and turn the screen turn it on again to change the song and it will pop up to like more than half. Is this normal or a kind of glitch that I should take to the Genius Bar? Does that mean I have a bad battery? Thank you.

    Try to let the game iPod continuously, until it is unloaded.  You can let them play unsupervised until he stops playing alone.  Then, connect it to the power for a few hours, so that it is completely recharged.  See if that makes the battery to act more reliably.  It is good sometimes to drain the battery completely and then load it completely.

    I was creating a new playlist using my ipod nano (2 gb) when all of a sudden all the music that he dissappeared. ITunes has no music because it is a new installation of itunes 12. How can I get music back? If I can?

    A new installation of iTunes must not remove the music library unless the facility has been applied incorrectly. There is no way to recover the music of the Nano.

  • 7th generation iPod nano will not be recognized by iTunes more.

    My laptop is fairly recent. Provided with Windows 10. My iPod is recognized and works perfectly until about 2 months ago. iPod still works and plays. The laptop recognizes that there is something related to the USB key, but iTunes does not properly recognize it. I would like to get some new music, but it is quite difficult if iTunes does not recognize my device. Nothing help online troubleshooting things and I don't feel like calling apple support and deal with them. Any advice is welcome.

  • Cannot sync my movie rented to my Ipod Nano

    I rented a movie on my Mac today, but it cannot sync with my Ipod Nano. It says I have to connect to the internet, but I know I can't do it on an Ipod Nano. Someone please help!

    Here is the info on iTunes Store movie rentals

    About rent movies on the iTunes Store - Apple Support

    If a movie is in HD (high definition), you can play it on an iPod nano, because the resolution is too high for the screen of the nano.  For a movie purchase, if you pay for the HD version, you can also download the SD (standard definition) version free of charge.  But for a rental, I don't think you can do this...  Rent you as HD or SD, because download you only once.

    Also, the linked document says this... "Watching movies on the following devices...".  An iPod classic or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation). "6th generation iPod nano can not play videos, but can't 7th gen.  However, it is not mentioned in that sentence, then you if your iPod nano is the 7th generation, you may not be able to watch rented movies about it, even if you have hired the SD version.

  • 6th generation Nano more often used to synchronize

    Just got a used iPod Nano 6th generation, and I'm in trouble.

    I have an iMac 27 inch, model late 2009, running El Capitan. I have the latest version of iTunes.

    When I connect the iPod to the computer via most of the USB sites, it does not appear in the Finder as a mounted drive. However, it fact appear in system information under Bus USB 2.0-> Hub-> iPod. The system seems vaguely aware that there is a connected iPod, but doesn't let me do anything with it. The iPod itself says that it is connected, and it charges with success.

    However, when I plug the iPod into either of the USB slots on my Apple wired keyboard, it fact appear in the Finder. Basically, on 6 slots USB (4 on iMac) and 2 on the keyboard, it will only reveal when it is connected to one of them.

    Once I got it in the right port USB, iTunes has been able to recognize the iPod. However, it seems especially want to synchronize. Usually it hangs there for several minutes while trying to synchronize before you say it's impossible: "iTunes could not copy X to iPod Y because the file cannot be read or written.". At this point, there usually is no longer appears in iTunes (even if it is mounted in the Finder).

    Sometimes successfully, it syncs, but 90% of the time that it just hangs up. I don't see a model when this happens. I wrote this, I was able to do accept a synchronization of two podcasts and a song, and then it stopped working again.

    I tried to reset the iPod and be in and out of disk mode. I was unable to restore factory default via iTunes: nothing happens for awhile, then iTunes says that it cannot.

    I tried to manually add files to the iPod by dragging on in the Finder. This usually causes Finder hang and then must be restarted. In some cases, I can't even restart Finder until I pull the cable the iPod, as the whole system crashes.

    I used on the iPod disk utility, to fix all the errors (he found) and to clear its contents.

    I wonder if this is related to the USB cable, but I guess my thought is that if the cable was defective, wouldn't I have not have done until now? It shows in the Finder, cool and sometimes allows to synchronize a file. But I could well be wrong. Before I go buy a new one, I thought I would check here to see if it could be something else.

    Any help is appreciated. I have this during 4 hours, try different things, read troubleshooting guides, forum posts, etc.

    Your Mac is old enough to have ports USB 2.0, so your 6th gen iPod nano should work well with it.  My Mac mini's 2011 (last iTunes and OS X running); It works very well with my old iPods; most of them are older than your iPod nano.  It should work on the direct USB ports on your iMac.  It is strange that it works a little better on the free USB port on your keyboard.  Normally, I would suggest using a direct USB port on Mac when troubleshooting.  And your USB cable is probably fine; I would bad cable try another cable or using your cable power with another Apple device (if possible).

    First, you must use the procedure to Reset SMC (System Management).  It serves as a general hardware reset for the Mac.  For an Intel iMac, it's basically unplug the power cord from the iMac and reconnect it, at the end of a specific procedure

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support  (see Reset the SMC on Mac desktops)

    You can also make the correct procedure to Reset NVRAN ("PRAM") ol ', just in case...

    How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

    NOW, you can try some real tests to narrow down the cause of your problem.  These are separate test.

    (1) stop (power off) Mac and disconnect all the USB devices.  You can leave your connected USB keyboard/mouse.  Do this Reset (reboot) of your iPod

    Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support

    Start the Mac, launch iTunes and connect the iPod to a USB direct on the Mac, by himself.  Is there a difference?  This is to exclude a conflict between connected USB devices.

    (2) the iMac in Safe Mode startup

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

    In Safe Mode, the extensions of the system of third parties (such as device drivers) are not loaded when you start.  In addition, the third party background processes that launch automatically when the connection do not run.  This is to exclude a conflict with a third party software that may interfere with the iPod.  Your iPod should (normally) always connect with iTunes in Safe Mode.  Try things like the synchronization and restore in iTunes.

    (3) create a new 'Test user' account in the users and groups System Preferences pane.  I have a user account on my Mac named Test user.  This user account can be Standard (not administrator). Disconnect , then reconnect you user account.  Do not use Quick user change.  In the new user account, run iTunes and connect your iPod.  iTunes uses a new iTunes library.  Add a few songs to test the library.  Try things that don't work well in your usual user account.  This is to rule out a problem related to your usual user account or iTunes library.

    (4) you can do another test, if you have something like an external drive that can be erased.  Use the Setup program for El Capitan downloaded from the Mac App Store to install an external OS X "fresh" on the hard drive system, after erasing it in disk utility.  Startup test of external drive system.  Launch iTunes, plug in the iPod and try even.  This is to rule out a problem with your existing system of El Capitan, which can inherit problems that you apply updates over time.

    In each case, if the iPod works normally for this test, you have reduced the cause.  You can then focus your troubleshooting to find the exact cause.  Please post back with new discoveries...

    Saludos

    Chesus

    I'm sorry that I can't answer in Spanish.  I used Google Translate.

    Lithium batteries can become unable to hold a charge, if left in a State completely drained for a long period.  Given that the iPod was never opened and charged, which could be the reason that the battery of the iPod does not hold a charge now.

    Apple can no longer service the 5th generation iPod nano, but if you do a search on the Internet, there may be electronics independent repair companies in your area familiar with Apple.  The drum part is available online.  This web site illustrates the procedure

  • Songs aside with iPod touch (6th generation)

    I got the iPod Classic for all my music has died. I replaced it with an iPod Touch (6th generation), but it seems that I lost the ability to evaluate my songs they play (used to be able to click on the middle button a few times and use the scroll wheel). I have created custom smart playlists based on the song ratings and if I have to be at my computer to write down all my songs, he would take my forever and probably never did. I see the 6th generation iPod allows you to songs favourites (with a heart), but now I'm wondering if it is transferred to ITunes somehow. I am not even of the ratings of my songs displayed when iPod touch play. Is the ability to rate on the fly songs a way of the past?

    I discovered how do. During playback of a particular song, type the name of the track and the ranking is displayed.

  • iPod nano 5 with MacOS Sierra

    I use the latest version of MacOS Sierra (10.12) in my MBPmid14. However, I found that the iPod Nano 5 I have is not recognized by the computer. It loads, but it does not sync. One of you have the same problem?

    I have not used this iPod in some time, including synchronization and load. I have an XtremeMac charging cable.

    Is what the iPod is too old and too recent software, cable has problems (it has synchronized before) or something in the settings prevents the synchronization?

    I use a 5th generation iPod nano, and it works fine with the latest version of the OS and iTunes.

    When you connect it, look at the screen of the iPod.  He said initially 'Connected' (to indicate a data connection)?  Or does only show the symbol of battery?

  • iPod Nano 5 G vs 7G

    I am looking to buy an iPod Nano. I heard that the click wheel on the 5G breaks, I don't want to deal with fingerprints. Which device is more user-friendly and accessible, because for me, the G-7 resembles a small iPod Touch without internet.

    I used a nano gen 5 years and use it exclusively for my race (with the Nike + Bluetooth receiver to iPod and motion sensor on the shoe).  I use a case and hold it in my hand when running.  I took a few falls and dropped my nano several times.  So it has a few scratches.  Always works 100%.  According to my experience, it is solid.  I don't know that there are some owners with broken wheel.  When tens of millions of what whatsoever are sold, ALL possible types of problem will be produced for the global customer base.  This does not mean that any particular problem is likely to occur to any individual customer.  Since you don't touch the screen to use a 5th gen nano, there is no problem with the fingerprints.  A user of long date iPod, I like the interface of the wheel.

    The 5th gen nano becomes an iPod 'old' at this stage.  Old things tend to start to break down.  If the iPod has been heavily used, its battery is likely to be carried out (or how to get there).  If the iPod wasn't used a lot and sat in a drawer, which can be even worse for a lithium battery.  The nano gen 5 has a battery that is soldered to the logic board, is not easy to replace, without good soldering skills and enjoy disassembling miniature electronics.

    A unique feature of 5th generation iPod nano: it has a video camera (to take videos not photos), as well as a built-in microphone and tiny speaker.

    The 7th gen nano is the current model.  It is brand new with a warranty of one year.  Users who have never used an iPod scroll wheel can be more usable.  It has a touch interface; you deal with fingerprints.  It uses the connector of the lightning, which is the current standard for Apple peripheral of mooring.  No accessory Nike + necessary to track running.

    A unique feature of 7th generation iPod nano: it has built-in Bluetooth.
