Sync ipod Nano to the spare computer

I would like to sync my iPod on another computer that I have "authorized". When I try to synchronize, put in guard lose all of the music on the iPod scare me off the coast. The original computer I used to charge the iPod crashed and burned.  It can't be this hard?  This is me. It's always me. Help?  Thank you.

If you use automatic synchronization, your iPod can be associated with ONE iTunes library at a time.  It was not the 'computer' or the computer is "authorized".  By definition, iTunes can only "sync" your iPod with iTunes library.  If you have a backup of your entire iTunes library, you can restore your iTunes library to a new computer, and your iPod would be happily sync with it, because it's the same iTunes library (on another computer).

When you have associated your iPod to a new iTunes library, the old iTunes library's existing content is erased and replaced by the content of the new iTunes library.  To avoid losing the existing iPod content, you must unload it.  By design, iTunes sync is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer songs from iPod to the computer (with the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few useful links.  Here is a method that requires no additional software

Once the files of songs from the iPod to your disk, add them to your current iTunes library.  After checking all the songs are in your iTunes library, you can sync your iPod.  Further, you should back up your iTunes data, as well as the rest of your user data.  iPods are not designed to be your iTunes backup.  To back up all your full iTunes library, you can use this method

    Hi Peter,.

    I suggest you to check if the iPod gets detected in Device Manager,

    a. click Start, type Device Manager and press ENTER.

    b. click the plus (+) icon (or disclosure triangle (for Windows 7)) next to Bus USB controllers to expand this selection.

    Locate the iPod in this list. In some cases, one of the entries will have 'iPod' in its name. If none of these entries are present, the iPod is most likely represented by "USB Mass Storage Device".

    Please see the following articles for more information:

  • Transfer music from iPod classic to the new computer laptop

    Thus, on my old laptop, I had two accounts, one that was mine and that was my mother and my iPod classic has been synchronized to the iTunes on my account. I recently got a new laptop so that my mom could have one for herself, and so I proceeded to delete my account on the laptop. But I forgot to transfer all my iTunes music on a record hard to put it on my new laptop and so no longer have my music (about 3000 songs) on the former. I have all the songs on my iPod, and by logging into my iTunes on the new laptop, I could get my songs bought on iTunes, however, other songs (eg. those I burned a CD) I was not able to recover. Is it possible to transfer all the songs on my iPod to my new laptop?

  • 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.

  • IPod nano 7 icon appears in iTunes, with Windows 8 or IP on both computers. Two nano 5s work perfectly. Short black lines appeared on the screen iPod

    NO icon of nano 7 will appear on iTunes despite trying 2 computers, Ip and win 8. Also tried two nano 5s and several cables and ports. Also, some black lines on the screen.

    What is "Intellectual property"?  Did you mean to type XP?  There is no iPod nano "5s". are these 5th gen iPod nanos?  Why do we say "iPod nano (6th generation)" in your profile in?  It's the iPod nano with the gen 7 problem?

    If the 7th gen iPod nano is new (model 2015), it does not work with a version of iTunes that runs on Windows XP.  It should work with the current latest version of iTunes on the computer of Windows 8, however.

  • 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.

  • Importing photos from older iPod Nano(Gen 5)

    Photos has been synched to the iPod using a PC/iTunes.

    The PC was stolen later and now iTunes doesn't want to replace iPod everytime I try to sync.

    Ideally I would simply copy photos on PC/laptop(outside iTunes-for fear of deleting the photos which now only exist on the iPod Nano)

    The search for solutions, but all seem to be involde 3rd purchase third-party software solutions.

    Apple/iTunes/iPod really allows for export/transfer of photos of the Apple device without installing iTunes-origin?

    Photos of the iPod are stored in a special way.  During synchronization, iTunes converts photos to fit small iPod screen and stores the data in a special database format.  He comes to optimizing works iPod displaying the photos and save the storage space on the iPod.  As with other types of media, iTunes sync in generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library.  You can't use iTunes to retrieve the photos on the iPod.

    NOTE: The exception is IF you had a setting is enabled during the synchronization of photos to the iPod.  There is a setting on the display of pictures of the iPod settings in iTunes (where configure you synchronization for photos) to photos full resolution Include.  IF this parameter is enabled when Sync you photos to iPod, you can find and recover the original files of the image in the folder of Photos on the iPod (with disk use enabled) storage, using the file manager of your computer.

    There may be third-party utilities that can recover individual photos of the iPod.  However, the photos are generally lower resolution versions of the photos full original resolution, because they have been converted during the synchronization for the small screen of the iPod.

  • generation iPod Nano 7 jumping battery percentage

    Hello.

    I recently got an opportunity 7th generation iPod Nano and the battery percentage jumps around. I use it and it seems that it is half-percent or less then I turn off the screen and turn the screen turn it on again to change the song and it will pop up to like more than half. Is this normal or a kind of glitch that I should take to the Genius Bar? Does that mean I have a bad battery? Thank you.

    Try to let the game iPod continuously, until it is unloaded.  You can let them play unsupervised until he stops playing alone.  Then, connect it to the power for a few hours, so that it is completely recharged.  See if that makes the battery to act more reliably.  It is good sometimes to drain the battery completely and then load it completely.

  • I have a music library of about 7.6 GB.  I have an old nano iPod which has a capacity of 8.0 GB. When I try to sync my library on the nano it accepts only about 1.68 GB.  How can I fix?

    I have a library of about 7.8 GB of songs iTunes music.  I have an iPod nano to 8.0 GB.  When I try to sync my music on the iPod the IPod does accept that about 1.68 GB.  I tried to restore and re-synchronization-the same results.

    Are all your songs stored locallyin your computer's iTunes library?  iTunes cannot sync the songs that are accessed by streaming from Apple servers ("iCloud").  To check, find a song that does not sync your iPod to your iTunes library.  Do a right click and get information.  On the tab of the file Info window, browse to the location.  This site shows a path of the file to the location the file of that song on your drive, or should I say iCloud?  Expressed the iCloud, download it.

    If this is the General reason why much of the music library will not sync to the iPod, you can select the pieces all affected at the same time, right-click on the selection and download.  Once all the music files are stored locally, they sync to iPod.

    If this is not the cause of your problem, thanks for posting back with all additional details, such as any error message that appears when you attempt to sync.

  • 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.

  • Not all the songs in a playlist are synced to iPod nano

    I checked a checkbox to sync a playlist consisting of 13 songs to my iPod shuffle, but only 2 of them are synchronized.

    Screenshot of a playlist in iTunes: https://i.imgur.com/V5MJEx6.png

    Screenshot of a playlist on iPod shuffle: https://i.imgur.com/4k1q5Gk.png

    Evidence any reading list is checked to be synchronized: https://i.imgur.com/B8Kp5Dt.png

    Listen to songs in iTunes itself on my computer. I would definitely say no songs are in their "native" to iTunes format, since I had to download from youtube and convert them to iTunes, but they're there and playeable, so I'm expecting to be transferred.

    Is this a known problem and how would I fix it? Thank you!

    I would definitely say no songs are in their "native" to iTunes format, since I had to download from youtube and convert to iTunes

    All the songs that do not synchronize these converts are songs?  That do sync the two aren't these songs converted?

    In iTunes, see list of reading, do a right click on one of these songs that are not in sync, and then read the information.  In the info window, go to the file tab.  That said it for the type and bitrate?

    In addition, the file Info tab, find location.  She gives a file path to the location of the song on your disk file, or should I say iCloud?  If she says iCloud, the song is not stored locally, so it does not sync.  And since these are not purchased songs from iTunes Store, IF they are only in iCloud, they must be in your music to iCloud library.  If would be important to know if yourmusic to iCloud library emanates a subscription to Match iTunes or Apple's music.
