Hi, I recently purchased an iPod nano (6th Gen) from a local retailer that sells tons of used stuff. I stumbled upon this iPod, and I decided to purchase it. When I arrived home, I attempted to hook it up to my iTunes program for windows 11. The device did not show up in the side menu, and I think it might be because it's associated with another iTunes account. I would like to know how to fix this issue so I can use my new iPod nano with my music.
iPod nano
If I understand correctly
1. Apple Music
2. Apple TV
3. Apple Devices for Windows
Do not "co-exist" well with iTunes. The three apps must be uninstalled to use iTunes
If they are installed, uninstall them, reboot, and try iTunes again.
I still no go, uninstall & reinstall iTunes
I think Vanillabarr1909 is correct that iTunes is no longer a "strategic" product for Apple.
Also, Apple announced sometime back that the iTunes sync. feature to Microsoft Outlook
(if that is important to you) would be deprecated at some future date.
A future version of the new-trio may might have sync. in the future, or the answer might be
iCloud for Windows which may support sync. to Windows 11, but apparently not to Windows 10.
Update: I was able to get it to connect to the Apple Devices App for Windows, but not iTunes. I wiped the device, and it's under my name now. I hope to get some help in the future connecting it to iTunes
iTunes is being phased out. Therefore it’s not getting attention in updates. It semi works, but the Windows “Apple Devices” app can be downloaded? It works much better? Have you tried it?
Yes! Thank you very much! This worked and I am now able to add music to my iPod in iTunes! Thank you very much.
Awesome :-)
