iPod nano sync

How can I sync my iPod nano with a new iMac without losing all my original music downloaded from CDs?

When I connect to iMac it wants to synchronize with the new iTunes purchased music.

Hello, kayedb47.

Please visit Apple support communities.

Looks like you want to sync your iPod with iTunes on your new iMac, but receive an alert that your media will be deleted.  The best solution would be to transfer all of your content purchased on your iPod to the new computer.  You also have the option to download any of the other purchases using the procedure described in the article below.

Redownload or transfer of your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer

This feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. If your device uses iOS 9 or a later version, apps you download don't transfer to iTunes. All items you have imported an audio CD or from other sources copy from your device to iTunes library.

Any imported media will not transfer.  However, if you still have access to the computer that was originally used for synchronization with the iPod nano, you can transfer the media imported via the procedure described in the article below.

  • Problem syncing with iPod Nano

    I have an iPod nano 3rd generation. He stopped properly syncing with iTunes. I have the latest version of ITunes and Windows 10. It is always synchronized automatically before. The computer recognizes the iPod and it's synchronization on iPod, but not on the computer screen. None of the songs I bought on iTunes since it began have been added to my iPod. I also noticed that new Playlists, I added to iTunes also syncs.  Maybe it's the same cause.  I appreciate your help. I'm nervous about what he is going to erase my iPod and then Resync.  I don't want to end up with nothing on my iPod!  I spent hours trying to understand, without a bit of luck. Thanks a lot for your help!

    One thing to check is the parameter to sync music on settings of music from the iPod screen.  Here is a screenshot showing the screen.

    Perhaps the box sync music got disabled for some reason any.  If it is not checked, the iPod is currently set to manually manage the music.  It will always 'sync' when it is connected, but the content does not sync automatically. However, existing content on the iPod.

    NOTE: If you change this setting (and apply) Sync music is currently not checked, all the songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

    IPod Nano 7th gen... podcasts don't sync to itunes. synchronization for podcast is on... im confused. THX!

    When you say "synchronization for podcast is on", have you done the following...?  Select the iPod in iTunes (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 Podcasts.  Right, Podcasts from iPod settings screen.  If the checkbox for synchronize Podcasts is not checked, check it.  Activates the automatic synchronization of podcasts.  Set up this form as you wish, to tell how to synchronize episodes of the podcast to iTunes and click apply.

    If sync Podcasts has been already verified, describe how you have the rest of the screen of the iPod Podcasts settings put in place (or include a screenshot of it).

  • 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.

  • How to sync iTunes movies on an iPod Nano 7th Gen?

    Hi, I'm Sam.

    I have an iPod Nano 7th Gen (software: version 1.1.1)

    I have iTunes (software: worm 12.3.2) on a HP Pavilion 15 laptop with Windows 10.

    I can sync my iTunes library of songs (imported CDs and downloaded iTunes) on my iPod.

    BUT

    I can't synchronize iTunes downloaded movies on my iPod.

    To try to get movies to sync my iPod I have:

    -In the main movie section of my iTunes (not in iPod movies or sections of the iTunes Store), I clicked on a movie and the quality of the video: on the downloaded movies, there are only two options (by default (HD 1080 p) and high definition (720 p)) while others bought but not downloaded movies are the first two options as well as two more [Standard (SD) and high definition (1080 p)].

    When I try to sync a movie downloaded to my iPod with one of the first two options of quality Video (by default (HD 1080 p) and high definition (720 p)) I get this message:

    'FILM' was not copied because video high quality SD is not compatible with the iPod "MY IPOD".

    -In preferences, store preferences. I checked the box that says 'download high-quality SD video '. Before deleting all of my library and the re - movies download.

    When you try to synchronize any re-downloaded movies, with video quality settings, I get the same message as shown above.

    -The only other thing I tried (which others have suggested) is to select the movie, and then click file - create a new Version - create iPod or iPhone version. Select the movie by clicking on it, then the steps or by clicking it and then pressing Alt and then following the steps.

    However when I tried to do I can not click "create iPod or iPhone version" because it is grayed out and cannot be clicked.

    If anyone has other ideas/improvements on ideas on how to get movies from iTunes on an iPod nano GEN 7 please let me know.

    If this can help all the movies I've tried are Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Forrest Gump and Top Gun.

    You cannot use the "Create iPod or iPhone version" command if the movie (or TV show or music video) is a purchase on iTunes Store, because the video has DRM (copy protection), as required by the content producers.  That is why the command is grayed out.

    Try going to the screen purchased in iTunes (click bought along the right side of the main screen of iTunes Store).  On the screen that is purchased for films, in the lower right corner of the window, there is a check box for Download HD when available.  Uncheck the box and find movies.  If there is a cloud for movies to download, download it.  When only the HD version is currently stored on your computer, you should get the SD version.

    iTunes might as well of both HD and SD of a movie bought in his library at the same time.  They are not presented separately, but he will say 'HD - SD"next to the name of the movie in the library list, if it has both.  Most of the SD movies should load and play on an iPod nano.

  • How can I sync the videos taken with an iPhone to an iPod nano

    I want to sync the videos taken with my iPhone to my children your iPod nano. The videos are stored on my iMac in the Photos app in a specific album.

    I tried using iTunes and synchronization of the picture with this particularly chosen album, but nothing has been synchronized. There is no error messages or warnings, just nothing is synchronized.

    I know I could manually importing the video into iTunes and sync as films, but there should be an easier way to do this, right?

    I think the method you mentioned is how you need to do.  In iTunes to sync iPod movies, you configure settings from iPod movies screen (to select the movies you want to synchronize).  Settings of the iPod screen photos is for photos (image files).  Movies do not appear on the screen of the parameters of the iPod movies , unless they are in your library of movies to iTunes.

  • can I sync music from my windws media player for my ipod nano 4 GB. When I press sync. Player is not my camera still recording, it is compatible

    I am trying to sync music on my ipod and it is compatible but my media player has not listed it as a timing device.  It is recognized in the computer and peripheral but not in media player. Help, please

    Hello

    I suggest you follow the steps below to synchronize your Ipod Nano with Windows Media Player 11.

    1. start Windows Vista. You need to have administrator privileges in order to synchronize your iPod, only access to the shared folder on the computer (by default, every account has access to the shared folder).

    2. connect your iPod to your computer using the supplied USB cable. If your iPod has not already been recognized as a device in the system, recognition will be held at the moment (requiring the installation of the drivers and software components that are necessary in order to recognize your iPod).

    3. place the music files you want to synchronize with your iPod in the shared folder. You can also place your music in a folder within the shared folder (for example, a 'My music' folder).

    4. open Sync Center by clicking on the "Start" menu followed by "All programs", "Accessories", then "Sync Center".

    5 set up a calendar for your iPod to be synchronized or simply choose "Sync" in the file menu to start a manual synchronization. This will automatically update your iPod with the latest music from the shared folder.

    6. sync your iPod by using a double sync method, which will avoid any loss of data on the iPod as well as download the music from your iPod to your Sync Center, you can listen on your computer as well.

    If you want to synchronize the Ipod Nano with iTunes, you can follow the instructions as shown in the link below.

  • I have the new Windows 8 and cannot sync my Ipod Nano

    I have the new Windows 8 and cannot sync my Ipod Nano is anyone know how to do this?

    When I try to sync my ipod nano with my new system of Windows 8, I get a notice of the WDF_violation and the sad face on a blue screen, then my computer needs to be restarted.  I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, so I have the latest version on my machine.  However, which did not help.  ITunes recognizes my nano and gives me an indication that it's sync... but new music I bought is not on the nano, nor is the updates of my specific playlists.

    Clearly, it's a matter of Microsoft/Windows as my nano worked perfectly last week when I was on my old computer (Vista).

    If this isn't an issue which is, or has been processed by Microsoft, it should be.  If my nano and my Windows 8 cannot talk to each other which is not acceptable.

    I joined Apple music. I want to put the songs I buy my new 7 generation iPod Nano. He said: you cannot synchronize music on iPod, Apple I f you want to listen to the song on your iPod turns on iCloud on your iPod.

    I have a nano. I don't see an option to turn on iCloud on my nano. How can I put these songs on my Nano?

    Apple, why do you so hard to use synchronization!

    Dell Windows 8 (updated running

    You can't load songs downloaded from Apple's music service on an iPod (except iPod touch).  Music by Apple downloads are written songs, songs owned not.  They have DRM (copy protection), as required by music producers.  Your iPod nano is unable to check the status of your subscription (no Internet connection).
