• I have an Ipod shuffle, 1 GB, he thinks that this is the 2nd generation. When I connect to the pc to load, I get "there is a problem with this ipod. Scan to see if there is a problem"is no problem with a sweep. Well, thought, grow old, bought new on

  "" Thought the ipod can get adopted "used by date", although sometimes she would charge, others, maybe not bought 4th gen, 24 December 2015, 2 GB and received the same message. With the latter I have flashing orange.  I can load tunes on both, and once loaded, both work very well.  Concerned about the message and the inconsistencies in charge?  I wish I had some ideas, thank you. Otherwise a great little gadget, ideal to carry in your pocket for walking, gardening, etc, etc. RFAbird

  Amber flashing light is not an indication of a problem.  Light flashing just means DO NOT DISCONNECT - eject the iPod before disconnecting.  It has nothing to do with the load or the condition of the battery.  If you eject the shuffle in iTunes but leave plugged in, the led becomes solid (not flashing).  Full light means OK TO DISCONNECT.  With the light, the color has meaning.  AMBER means battery recharges.  GREEN means the battery is fully charged.

  Concerned about the message and the inconsistencies in charge?

  What is the "inconsistency in charge?"

  NOTE: The shuffle gen 2 cannot use the USB to host port cable supplied with the 4th gen shuffle.  The connector is different between the 2nd and 4th gen shuffles.  Use the original (with stand) cable for 2nd gen shuffle and ultra cable short with 4th gen shuffle.

  This message always appears when you connect two changes?

• Problems with my iPod classic

  Hello, I have a 160 GB, 6th generation iPod classic yesterday still put some new music on my iPod and I noticed my iTunes starts trolling once or twice. When I eject my iPod, all my music, including new music had disappeared. I am currently on Windows 10 and with the latest version of iTunes (there is no other updates for iTunes). I did a few resets (by pressing the middle button and the menu button) in the hope that my music coming back (the only reason I did it is because something similar happened before and do the reset as magically worked to recover all my music) but it does unfortunately not this time. A few hours later my iPod was in the form of logo of Apple and kept free reset and did not go beyond the screen of the Apple logo. I tried to do the diagnostic mode and that has not worked. I also put my iPod mode disc and my computer felt that my iPod was plugged, but iTunes was not opening. When I had iTunes open and tried to connect my iPod (in disc mode) it begins to freeze. Whenever I have my iPod is connected without being in disk mode, it keeps resetting and showing the same Apple logo, screen is grey when plugged in and light when it is not plugged. I even let my iPod die by continuous reset, but that did not help. I even tried to format hoping to restore through iTunes but that didn't work. So now I don't know what to do because it keeps resetting and will not past the Apple logo and iTunes is not picking it up.

  Thank you for your time, and if anyone can give any help that would be very appreciated...

• My iPod Nano has a white screen with messages I've ever seen

  Hello

  I'm having a problem connecting my iPod Nano (5^th generation 8 GB) to my Macbook Pro (mid-2009 with El Capitan OS). I tried to restore my iPod nano with iTunes. Restore failed, and my iPod Nano screen has changed to a white screen with a message "do not disconnect". I couldn't eject the device, so I had to unplug the iPod with this message that appears. When I disconnected the iPod a black check mark appears on the white screen with a message "Ok to disconnect". The only way to get this message go away is to lock the screen of the iPod nano, and then unlock it. Then I press and hold the Center button and menu button simultaneously for 8 seconds and the Apple logo appears. Then shortly after, a "Use iTunes to restore" message on the iPod nano. I reconnect the iPod on my Mac and the white screen with a message 'do not disconnect' returns to the top. iTunes does not recognize the iPod. I don't know what else I can do to get my Mac to recognize the device and add songs using iTunes. IPod Nano was working fine a few hours ago, and my Macbook recognized until I tried to restore it in iTunes. It's very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Here are pictures of the messages from my iPod nano's display.

  IPod Nano was working fine a few hours ago, and my Macbook recognized until I tried to restore it in iTunes.

  What was the (initial) reason, you had to do this restoration (before this problem occurred)?

  Try to put the iPod in Disk Mode.

  Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

  Launch iTunes and connect the iPod to the Mac.  If iTunes picks it up, he may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  Tell iTunes to do a restore.  After the full restoration , see if the iPod works normally.

• Windows Update cannot find driver for iPod Nano after update for Wndows 7

  After upgrading to Windows 7 (64 bit) of Vista, I plugged my iPod Nano (2nd gen.) into the USB port with iTunes running. Error message told me it couldn't find drivers (in Windows Update I guess) for her and was reported as a storage device USB not recognized in Device Manager. This happened after that I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 9.0.2 (latest version 64 bit) as well. I also tried to install the driver manually from a directory Apple driver on my laptop, but it does not work either.

  Have seen a lot of similar problems with the iPod on the Internet forums, but no solid solutions of Microsoft or Apple. Does anyone know of a solution. I guess that all the problems reported on the Internet (there are thousands) Microsoft or Apple are working on a solution, I just haven't heard about yet...

  Coolmishu, thanks for the reply.

  Before to try what you suggested, that I tried to plug the iPod once more. I think that people of Windows Update must have solved this particular problem. When I plugged it in (for the umpteenth time), this time Windows Update went on the web and found an updated driver!

  Thanks again.

• fixed a bug with my ipod touch

  Hello. I am writing because I have a problem with my iPod Touch since the installation of ios 9.3.1 (I now use ios 9.3.2). When I open my iPod Touch, I have to go about it several times to unlock the ipod. I try to restore my ios and I reset my iPod Touch with Apple customer service without finding the problem. Anyone have a solution to my problem? I am DISCOURAGED.

  Did you restore factory settings / new iPod (no backup)?

  If you have done this then points to a bug and yo will have to wait for the next update of iOS.

  You do not discuss Apple here. We are all just users like you.

• Windows 10 and ipod nano 3

  I have a bunch of old music on my iPod nano 3 I want to put on my computer.  I have windows 10.  He did years I even put music on the iPod, so my memory is faded.  I don't think I need to use iTunes, but at this point, I don't know yet!  A link to the directions would be great!  Thank you

  Hi Denise,

  Thank you for contributing to the communities of Apple Support.

  Looks like you want to transfer music from your iPod nano to your computer. You may need to use iTunes, but your options will depend on the source of the media that is on your iPod.

  What I mean by "the media source" is best explained in synchronize media between your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and iTunes on your Mac or PC:

  Media type	Transfer method
  Music purchased from the iTunes Store	Redownload or transfer of your iTunes Store purchases from iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer. Download purchases previous iTunes1 or iTunes game2 or use Apple music3.
  Music, coming from a CD or other source *.	Use home sharing to access music in iTunes from different computers. Backup of your iTunes library or use iTunes game2.

  In addition, if all the original media that synchronize you with your iPod nano has been lost (because you don't have access to the original computer with the iTunes library, for example) you can refer to the response recommended by turingtest2 in this thread -my computer was stolen. I can get my music from my iPod?

  Best regards.

• 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.

• Cannot transfer music from iTunes to the iPod nano.

  I can't transfer music from iTunes to my iPod. My laptop has Windows XP and my iPod nano is 6 years old. (I do not know what generation it is). the instructions say to click on "sources" to choose the IPod, but I can't find this option in iTunes.

  The latest version of iTunes can be different, so former instructions can be confusing.

  There are several ways to load songs on an iPod, including the auto sync and manual loading.  I will describe the method that automatically synchronizes the iPod to a playlist in your iTunes library.  First, you must create a new playlist in your iTunes library and add all the songs you want on the iPod playlist.  You can call iPod songs playlists (or whatever you want).  If you already have a "Favorites" playlist, you can use it.

  Then, 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 on music.  Right, parameters of music on the iPod screen.

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

  At the top, check the box to Sync music.  This enables automatic synchronization.  Below, choose the option to synchronize playlists selected, artists, album and genres.  Below, under playlists, search for and select (checkmark) playlists iPod songs you create earlier.  You can select the other items in these lists, if you wish.  When you click apply, iTunes syncs your selection to iPod.

  Go ahead, update of the songs on the iPod, update iPod songs playlist in your iTunes (add/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.  I use this method with my iPod nano, unless I have several playlists (not one) that I sync with my iPod.

• 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.
