• 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)?

• 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.

• How can I erase all the files on my iPod Nano (6th generation) and start over?

  I can sync is more manually all the files that I need on my iPod Nano (6th generation) to my Macbook (OS 10.6.8) because it is full.  Instead of delete folders and songs about the Nano, which would take forever, I'd rather delete it all and start by cleaning up the folder that I keep in my iTunes library (11.4), then by loading all on the Nano.

  How do I:

  (1) delete all music from the Nano?

  (2) see how many in the iPod folder in my iTunes library Macbook so I know what to remove?

  I know this must be a simple process, but it's been a long time I did!  Thanks for any help out there.

  When your iPod is connected to your MacBook, open iTunes, click on your iPod in the sidebar and in the 'Summary' tab, click 'Restore iPod.'

  If you don't see the sidebar in iTunes, go to the view menu in the menu bar, and then click see the sidebar.

• iPod Nano 1st generation, not seen by PC

  I found my Ipod Nano and reloaded when I first plugged it in to charge it shows the iTunes I remember loading. However, when I plugged it in to the computer (using the same cable that I used recently, so I know it works!), it displays a message "use iTunes to restore". I went through the Reset routine but it still shows the message. Any rational suggestion out there?

  

  Image of the message I get. Yet when I tried to reset (no apparent reaction), if I plug it into the PC (Windows 10) the message will blink on and outside; If I try without the cable or connections, the screen remains blank. Very frustrated now.

  Y at - it new information about the problem that iTunes does not recognize the ipod?

  More details on your situation would be useful...

  Are you using a Mac or a Windows PC to run iTunes?  If Windows, which free?

  Current ITunes when you connect iPod appears in iTunes as a device button.  Here's a screenshot of my window (upper left) iTunes with iPod touches circled in red.

  

  If you see this button (icon is different for your iPod model), click on it to access the iPod settings screen in iTunes.

  If you see an iPod touch device in iTunes, look at the screen of the iPod When you connect it.  Should initially say 'Connected' or 'do not disconnect' or give another indication of a data connection?  Or does only show the symbol of battery?  Or not it reacts at all to be connected?

• 7G not recognized by iTunes iPod

  Since I bought a new PC that runs Windows 10, iTunes does not recognize my iPhone not 5 or my two 7G iPod nanos. It does not recognize my iPod nano 3G. All my devices are recognized on a different PC, so they are not defective. I tried help Apple, followed by dozens and dozens of suggestions on Google and YouTube, paid a technician for 2 hours and he has been unable to fix. I explained the problem to two University IT student and that they could not offer suggestions, I have not already tried. I am ready to buy the latest iPod if Apple guarantees that I can return it if iTunes on my PC will not recognize it.

  Hi profecto.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  I understand that iTunes is not recognizing many of your devices, the iPhone 5 and the two iPod nanos (7th generation) when you connect it to your computer running Windows 10. We know how frustrating situations like this can be, especially since your iPod nano (3rd generation) is recognized. We are here to help.

  Looks like you did a lot of troubleshooting already.  But without knowing what you have done, I suggest you work through the steps in the order listed in the resources below:

• How to remove pieces of my Nano 6th generation?

  I spent several hours of frustration tonight trying to solve the situation I am with my camera.

  I want to delete songs from my iPod Nano 6th generation to make room for other songs in my library.  And, unfortunately, I have not read a single post, so far, that has helped to solve my problem.  If anyone can help after reading the information I provided below, I'll be most grateful.  Be specific if you provide specific to follow steps.

  Relevant information (see image below):

  • I have the latest version of iTunes installed on my laptop (12.4.3.1, 32-bit).
  • In preferences, I chose the option that prevents the automatic synchronization.
  • When I select the Nano connected in "Devices", no summary tab displays. I can't find this tab anywhere in the table of edge poster or under any section of the main toolbar on the top and left side of the page.
  • When I select 'Music' in the devices menu and select "Edit Playlist" in the center of the window of 'Music', I can't delete the control of all the listed songs.
  • In the right window which displays the songs on my Nano, I am unable to highlight and delete any song to this list.
  • 

  Thank you!

  There are several different issues here; rather than write a long response, I'll respond to a few key points that can be confusing...

  When I select the Nano connected in "Devices", no summary tab displays.

  In current iTunes, the screens of the iPod (including the abstract) settings are accessible by clicking on button iPod.  The screenshot below shows the left upper corner of the window of my iTunes, with the camera button circled in red.  (I see in your screenshot).

  

  Click this button to display the settings for the abstract of the iPod.  The other configuration screens (for example, with regard to the timing of the music ) are accessible from the sidebar along the left side of the window (under the name and the tiny image of the iPod).  Thus, instead of the former "tabs" go anywhere at the top of the window, use this sidebar.

  Is the iPod puts to manually manage music (check box) in the settings summary form?  If this is the case, you should be able to select the song (or songs) on the list of songs from iPod, then press the delete key to remove the iPod.  In the sidebar of the iPod as on my device, click on music, to see the current list of the songs on the iPod.  (You can also use the list of songs that you have demonstrated in your capture screen).

  If this list is grayed out, the iPod is probably configured to use automatic synchronization (so you can't manually delete the songs).    In the sidebar of the iPod, under settings, click on music, to display the parameters of music from iPod.  If Sync music checked it, the iPod is currently set to use automatic synchronization.

  Please post back with all of the remaining issues.

• IPod nano not recognized by iTunes - 10 Windows

  My new iPod Nano (7th generation) is not recognized by iTunes (version 12.3.2).  Windows 10 is pleased to recognize the Nano as a USB and I can copy files to the Nano using Windows Explorer.

  When I open iTunes and connect the Nano screen Nano said that it is connected, windows 10 tells me that it is connected, but iTunes displays the message "an iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly.  Please disconnect and reconnect the IPod and try again. "

  Tonight, I uninstalled iTunes, followed the instructions on the Apple support site to stop and restart the "Apple Mobile Device Service".  I also uninstalled the windows drivers, the computer uses and then reinstall the drivers, but the only ones that appear are the original windows ones.

  In Device Manager, the iPod is listed in 3 places:

  Hard drives - Apple iPod USB Device

  Mobile devices - IPOD

  Apple Mobile Device USB Driver - universal series Bus controllers

  Serial - USB Mass Storage Device Bus controllers

  When I click on Player update "mobile devices - iPod" it tells me that "the driver software is up-to-date Volume filesystem driver. WPD

  All you other ideas how to solve this problem?
