• iPod classic (7th generation), do not sync with iTunes on Windows 10

  Salvation;

  My iPod classic (7th generation, 160 GB) is not synchronized with iTunes 12.3.2.35 (latest version) on Windows-10. It is synchronized before, but it suddenly stopped synchronization. The iTunes is to identify the iPod, but it is not sync. Also, all my other iPods (nano and classic) also show the same behavior. Help nicely, as it made all my outdated iPod. Thank you!

  If the iPod appears in iTunes, select it (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to show its settings screen in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Right, parameters of music on the iPod screen.

  NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library (on the computer) will be lost.

  If the box Sync music is not checked, check it.  This enables automatic synchronization.  If your library complete iTunes music can fit on the iPod, you can choose the option synchronize entire music library.  Then click apply.

  If your library complete iTunes music does not fit on the iPod (or if you do not want to synchronize 'everything'), you can choose the option synchronize select playlists, artists, albums and genres.  Make your choice from the lists below.  For example, you can keep one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with songs that you want on the iPod.  Back on the settings screen of music from iPod, under playlists, search for and select (checkmark) these playlists.  After making your selections, click apply.

  Further, iTunes syncs iPod "" with your library iTunes music (or the selected part) when you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected).

• My audiobook songs will not consecutively play on my iPod nano (3rd generation).

  I put my audiobooks in playlist and then when I play my playlists, each song is on my iPod as '1 1', even if I went through and edited all to be _ in the County total song.  I'm looking to find how I can play an audiobook on my iPod directly through without having to scroll down after each "song" to the other.

  Thank you!

  Audio books isn't songs, so if you want that they act like the songs on iPod, you may need to change their type of media to music.  If you want to try this, it would be better to create a list of reading (with audio books), while it is easy to find and to change their return later.  This playlist is only to handle media Type; You must use it to sync to the iPod.  Put all of the audio books, you want to do this on playlist.  Select the playlist in iTunes and in the playlist, do a select all.  Right-click on the selection and do a Get Info. In the info window, go to the Options tab.  Change the media type to the music.

  These audio books now appear in your iTunes like songs rather than audio books.  When you put them on iPod into playlists, they must play successively as making songs.

  (To change their return, select playlist with songs "audiobook" in iTunes, select all, and then Media type back to Audiobook using Get Info.

• 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...

• iPod Nano 6th generation works with ElCapitan?

  IPod Nano 6th generation works with El Capitan?

  I can't seem to connect to iTunes 12 to download music?

  My nano gen 5 works.  And my iPod 3rd gen since about 2003 "classic" works with the latest OS X and iTunes.

  If you did not for a long time, remember to close the Mac (power off) and start it again.  iTunes has some background processes that identify when an iPod is connected, and they may stop working properly if the Mac worked without reboot for awhile.  Also, if you can, try to use another USB cable, where one of the uses has become defective.

  Look at the screen of the iPod when you connect it?  What did he say or do, just after the connection (if any)?

• 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.

• iPod Nano 6th generation of devices

  I have an iPod Nano 6th generation. I would like to continue to use it to play music during the night while I SLEEP. I got an iHome unit, but who has just died. I have two conditions for a new device. The device must plug into a wall outlet and charge the iPod Nano.

  Can someone suggest a new device?

  There are two separate functions here.  Charging the iPod and speakers are active.  The iPod has two connectors for audio output and power, so do not force yourself to a single device.

  Use a common USB adapter, (that plugs into the wall), as the type that comes with the iPhone or other device and standard USB cable to charge the battery of the iPod.  Connect common self-powered speakers, as the type that people use computers, making headphone iPod.  That is how I use my iPod touch on the bedside table.

• When you try to restore my iPod nano 7th generation what it asks for a password how to find / get around it?

  MY 7th generation nano has his music to wipe and start again.  I tried to restore it in the air several times because it won't let me not in reason to ask for a password to allow this. the password is not my iTunes password. can anyone help? I use an iMac.

  Once the iPod appears in iTunes, it shouldn't be a problem with a password for an iPod nano 7th generation.  If you see a window pop up asking for a password, I think that it is a request for authorization from the Mac OS.  It is not directly related to the iPod or iTunes.  He asks your password for the account of the user admin (for Mac), as when you install the new software.

  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
