• iPod Nano 16 GB keeps resetting

  Hello!

  Strange things are happening.

  I have an iPod Nano 16 GB which works perfectly. I use iTunes on my regular computer and never had a problem.

  Today, iTunes tells me my iPod had to reset automatically, and all my music has apparently disappeared. I managed to get back on my computer with special software.

  I connected my iPod and I tried to put all the music, but he said it was full, even if it is EMPTY ('Other' is indicated under the full name in the toolbar).

  My guess is that all the music files are still on the iPod but not available when I want to listen to them, and iPod turns out to be empty...

  Then I ejected my iPod and it restarts AGAIN.

  He has never done before on this computer... I don't understand!

  Thanks for your help

• My iPod nano 2nd generation gets disk errors after installing iTunes?

  I use my iPod nano 2nd generation for... Wow little almost 10 years now and of course is not as sensitive, a little laggy sometimes, battery life isn't as good but still never had real problems with it that can be repaired by a reset. Well not until now and I have not really money to spend to get a new, in particular the fact that practically it still works fine on his own, just that I can not add or remove pieces of her more.

  The problem

  It seems that the computer has trouble reading the device. Whenever I plug my iPod nano 2nd generation USB in my laptop (Windows 10), which has some sort of interaction with it freezes. For the moment I plug in, programs such as Winamp, iTunes, File Explorer (if I click my computer-> try to right click on the drive, that says all F: drive instead of the usual name recognized as "My iPod."), the Device Manager when I try to turn Apple iPod USB Driver and the small icon in the system tray when you try to eject the drop-down list no longer appears, all these programs themselves just freeze and unresponsive until I unplug the device. In Event Viewer, the moment where I plug it, it gets spammed by looping errors to:

  Error: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR21, has a bad block.

  ATTENTION: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR21 during a paging operation.

  So, basically, it seems that the computer is blocked just not try to read and recognize the device, which means that I can't really do anything with it. The iPod itself seems to work fine, I can hear songs, recharge the battery and other things, earlier I can't add or remove pieces of her.

  Stuff leading up to it

  A year or two before, I used to manage the ipod via itunes (a relatively old version of time too I guess since I almost never update) until I formatted my laptop some time ago and never bored computer reinstall itunes. Since then, I really didn't need to change anything to my iPod and just use Winamp (my default music player) to the add/remove songs when I needed to. Today, I decided to install iTunes because there are some things that winamp cannot do as add embedded lyrics and also winamp blurs the sorted list of the song. Since then, after you have installed the new iTunes, start freezing and program I get the problems described above. There might be a chance that iTunes was not the real culprit and the disc was already beginning to get corrupted or something somehow, but I can't think of anything that's happened before this problem started.

  I tried many things

  • Uninstalled iTunes and all the other stuff related to the installation as pie, Apple Mobile Device Support... .etc
  • Reinstall the device driver USB Apple iPod. When I turn it off (Plug in iPod-> iPod poster 'do not disconnect'-->--> Device Manager driver right click-> disable-> Device Manager freezes up-> unplug ipod-> Device Manager-> thaws plug ipod in) ipod becomes simply the State of charge. Steps to reinstall is the same (need to plug and unplug).
  • Reset iPod in now the Center button + menu button.
  • Will then resetting operation rewind + Centre button iPod diagnostic mode. It is not a test disc hard because I guess nano doesn't have a disc hard just flash ram. Anyway, when I select SDRAM QScan he only says: "SDRAM OK." NAND_SPEC gives "NandLBA = 1982464". Flash gives Checksum "Checksum is 0x26AF".
  • Wanted to try as described here to check for disk errors, but cannot because the computer cannot correctly recognize and explore freezes if I right click. I tried using 'chkdsk f:' in the command prompt, but that seems to hang as well.
  • Switches mode disc reset ipod then now Center + play button. Then connect the laptop... etc, same problem.

  It's a pretty old device, so it seems that support because it is very rare. I didn't install iTunes could screw up the device that it is intended to support and do anything as permanent as this one.

  You must exclude a faulty USB, cable anchorage, try another, or using your power with another Apple device cable, to confirm that it works correctly.

  Otherwise, your troubleshooting seems complete.  If that's what you've done for disc Mode

  How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

  and connection to your computer causes this issue General 'freeze' with multiple processes, the iPod has possibly a hardware problem.  Flash storage eventually.  Or it can be a problem on the logic board of the iPod.

  I suggest try to reformat the iPod using Windows, as if it were a USB flash drive.  But you can only do if the system hangs when you connect iPod.

  NOTE: If you find a way to reformat iPod using Windows, use FAT32 as the disc format.  If there is an option to do a quick format, do a full format instead.  Once the process is complete, the iPod is totally blank.  You do restore using iTunes (if you are prompted or not), to the embedded iPod software.

• Why can't transfer music manually on my iphone 5s or even my ipod nano 7thG?

  I have music that comes from a cd. so I decided to upload it manually on my iphone and also tried on my ipod nano 7thG and when I put the songs in a playlist itunes did not give me the ability to move the music manually. iTunes is completely updated, both of my devices, and new itunes does not give me the option or have a sidebar that shows what devices can I move my music to the new itunes update is total crap if it is a problem of the update. And then why itunes would not give me the ability to transfer music manually?

  If you have the latest version of iTunes, 12.4.1 then you should have an option in the sidebar:

  

  To select the option manage music manually, you cannot click the device name in the sidebar, you have to click on the little icon iPhone (or iPod) to the top of the screen, to the right of her drop-down content type (left side).

  Do that, and you should look at the menu for your iPhone, with the 'Summary' tab is selected. Looking for this option:

  

• 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.

• SYNC MUSIC FROM ITUNES TO IPOD NANO!

  SYNC MUSIC FROM ITUNES TO THE IPOD NANO LIBRARY DOES NOT, EVEN IF ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AND EVERYTHING IS UPDATED. WHAT CAN BE WRONG? Help me!

• I do not see songs on ipod nano in itunes

  With my ipod nano selected in itunes, when I click on "music" in the ipod settings, I see lists of playlists, artists, albums and genres. I want to delete songs, entire albums not. How to display the individual songs that are on my ipod nano?

  OK, I'm a novice here. I found it.

  Access this screen, where you clicked music under settings (in the sidebar).  A little lower (in the box), under on my device, click music.  Right, you see a list of the songs on iPod.  To remove a song, select it in the list and press delete on the keyboard.  You one to do that with more than on the song selected at the same time.

  HOWEVER, if you see "playlists, artists, albums and genres lists" on the screen of the settings - music , you probably have your iPod currently the value automatically Sync music.  If so, you can delete songs on the iPod directly from the screen on my camera - music .  iTunes is keep your iPod 'in phase' with your iTunes library (on the computer), based on the way that you set up screen settings - music .

  If you want to manually add songs and remove songs from iPod, select the iPod in iTunes to show his summary of the settings screen in the iTunes window.  Find the box there for manually manage music and videos].  Check this box and click apply.  Your iPod is now set to manual loading; iTunes is no longer using the screen settings - music .  You can use the screen on my camera - music to remove songs.

  To manually load songs on iPod, show your music library, then click on playlists on the horizontal bar to show the sidebar (on the left side of the window).  In the sidebar, your iPod is listed under devices.  Drag the pieces from the music library to the sidebar and drop it on the iPod.  You can do it with more of a selected song.  Alternatively, instead of drag and drop, click selection of songs and Add to Playlist-> [name of the iPod].  To see what is currently on the iPod, click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod (in the sidebar) for its content drop-down list.  Click music out there (on the list of the content).  List of songs of the iPod is shown at right.  Alternatively, you can delete songs from this list.

• 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 not recognized

  Hi people,

  Here's my problem. I have two iPod nanos. One is a 8 GB, 4 years old, one is a 16 GB, age of two weeks. I was their sync to my new laptop aged from 1 month (running windows 10). Now, when I Plug one of them in, itunes says it can detect an ipod, but cannot therefore no synchronization ID. I do not see it is the iPod because it just started to happen with both at the same time. Any ideas? I already followed the advice found here If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support and which did not help either. I have the computer to run a pilot if at least ipods load, but that's all I got to this point.

  Thank you!

  iPods will charge from any USB port powered, even if iTunes is not installed on the computer.  They charge also of a power adapter USB (like the type that comes with the iPhone or any other device), no computer at all.

  This Apple support document (the one you linked to) is quite comprehensive.  If you already went through these basic troubleshooting steps and technical, the other thing to try is to completely remove iTunes (and related software components) and reinstall the latest version.  Curiously, the Apple has a document for this procedure, but recently deleted 'Windows 10' from its description.  But you can find this document here

  Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 - Apple Support

  and also do an Internet search for stories of (non-Apple) on this subject.  The key point is to remove all the components of iTunes (not just "iTunes") and do it in the exact order shown.  After removing the existing installation of iTunes, download and install the latest version from here

• Why my ipod nano is not connect to itunes?

  I try to plug my ipod nano to my laptop to download my music that I have on iTunes and it says that it does not recognize the device. It's right after I downloaded the new ios 10

  iPod nano does not run any version iOS.  He runs his own software which is not iOS.  Are you sure have an iPod nano?  You have an iPod touch (which runs it iOS)?
