Hello pamelafromsonora,

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

According to your post, I see that your new iPod nano is not recognized by iTunes on your Windows PC, and you cannot scroll through the settings of the clock on your iPod. I know how it is important to ensure that you can connect your iPod to your computer/iTunes and use all the features. I'll be more than happy to help you with this.

Use the article If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod and follow these steps to see if iTunes recognizes the device, specifically these sections:

  2. Check that you have the latest version of the software on your Mac or your Windows PC.
  3. Make sure that your device is turned on.
  4. If you see a trust this computer alert, unlock your device and press trust. If you still see the alert, you may need to reset your lockdown folder.
  5. Unplug all accessories USB from your computer except for your device. Try every USB port to see if it works. Then try another USB Apple cable.
  6. Restart your computer and your iPhone, iPad or iPod.

  • How to transfer iTunes to the new iPod Nano library?

    Hello - I have a new iPod Nano and need to transfer my iTunes to my new Nano playlists.  Thank you.

    If your songs in your iTunes library, you can set up automatic synchronization for these playlists.

    Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see on the screen of the settings in the iTunes window.  Along the left side of the window, in the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  To the right, you see music in the iPod settings screen.

    NOTE: Since it is a new Nano, I guess it's currently empty.  All the songs from the iPod that are NOT in your iTunes library will be lost.

    On the screen settings of music , at the top, tick the box to Sync music.  Below, if your iPod has enough storage capacity to hold your entire music library, you can choose the option synchronize entire music library.  And click apply at the bottom.

    Otherwise, choose the option synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below, look under playlists and find the playlists you want to synchronize with the iPod and select them.  The capacity at the bottom of the window bar indicates how much storage on the iPod is used with the current selection.  When you are finished, click apply down button to synchronize your selection to iPod.

    Further, you can update the playlists in iTunes (add and remove songs).  The iPod has no need to be connected.  The next time that you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected), iTunes automatically updated the iPod with the same changes.  If you have the iPod sync the music library of anyvalue, iTunes keeps the iPod updated with any change in your music library.

  • Re: New DVD player is not recognized - Satellite 5200 801

    The old DVD drive no longer works, so I bought a new DVD player (SonyNEC Optiarc AD - 7593A).
    But the system does not recognize the new drive at all.

    I can not boot from the CD and in the hardwaremanager, there is no CD/DVD.

    But the drive works. If I put a CD in, you can hear how he turns upward.
    If I put the old drive, it is recognized in the hardwaremanager, but the reader no longer works.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you
    FO

    > But the drive works. If I put a CD in, you can hear how he turns upward.

    It says nothing! You can hear the rotating disc because it s connected to the laptop and it s operated.

    The BIOS is important! Your new CD/DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

    If not, then you have purchased NOT compatible CD/DVD player!

    I think that the master/slave/c-salt settings are not compatible with the laptop and so the CD/DVD drive may not be recognized.

  • Tecra M3 (PTM30E) - new module of memory not recognized

    Hello

    I have a Tecra M3 PTM30E 09X01LEN and am trying to upgrade the memory - addition to the 512 MB, it came with.

    I bought an upgrade memory of 1 GB Toshiba - PC2-4300 DDR2-553 and tried to install it in the housing B (leaving the original card where he was). As far as I know I've followed the instructions in the manual (which is pretty poor, since it is just of the drawings), but the new memory is not recognized.

    What can I do else?

    Hello

    Strange but perhaps your new RAM module is defective or the second memory location.

    Have you tried the new memory module in the first place?
    What happens if you put the original 512 MB module in the second slot? The module is recognized?

    Check it!

  • New HARD drive is not recognized on Tecra M1

    Hello

    I am new to this forum, so apologies if this is an old question.

    My Tecra M1 gave a quality service for the past 6 years, but recently, the Toshiba management console has put a message saying that the HARD drive will fail quickly.

    I loaded immediately turned off my main files before you remove the HARD drive. It is a Toshiba MK6022gax 60 gig IDE hard drive. I bought a new disc of gigabytes of 60 MK6022gax, but when I mounted this same I got the error message "error ide #0". Installation XP or the BIOS can see this new record.

    I then reassembled the old HARD drive, which started OK. I then mounted the new disk in a USB enclosure, initialized, partitioned and quick formatted using the XP disk management. He picked up OK. Then I copied some files to it and read them back with no problems, then the drive itself works very well. But when I plug as the main 'C' drive, I get the error message again and is not recognized by the bios or XP put in place.

    Clearly, there is some BIOS (?) or startup procedure I have to do to get this recognized record. Help!

    I have Tecra M1 long with 60 GB HARD drive. Right now, I've updated compatible HDD TOSHIBA HDD 2184 B.
    I can confirm that the HARD drive is recognized correctly and I actually have the new install of WXP Pro.

    In any case, have you tried to upgrade the BIOS to the default settings?
    As far as I know that nothing should be set before you put the new HARD drive and it must be recognized correctly.
