iTunes. Connect the device to the computer with iTunes and your music library, sync.
ok, I'm in ITunes on my computer, I see my new Nano device, but I don't see anything on the screen that says "sync".
iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
or
iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Depending on what type of computer you have.

After selecting the device, then you should be able to select Summary or other links on the sidebar. Select Music, and then select what you want to sync. The sync button should appear along the bottom of the screen.
Hmmm... I don't see anything called "Summary" on the sidebar. And I don't see a sync button along the bottom of the screen 😕
ok, I now see "Summary" and I see the sync button at the bottom. But when I click on sync, nothing happens. Are there some settings or options that I need to configure?
Take a look at the link which applies to your computer type that I posted for you. The step by step instructions are there....

I finally got it to sync, I had to click a button called "apply". But I noticed that only 1,158 songs are syncing. I have 1,179 songs in my ITunes library.
Are they all downloaded to your library? Do you see any indicators next to any of them that would prevent them from syncing? Do you have "Sync Only Checked" songs selected? If you do, turn it off.

I did select "Sync Only Checked". I'll turn that off and then re-sync?
ok, I turned off "sync only checked" and re-synced. That got me 8 more songs. So now I have 1,166 songs on my iPod out of the 1,179 songs that I have iTunes. I purchased some songs a long time ago under a different Apple ID. Could that be the cause? How would I sync those songs? You guys have been a great help, by the way!
Yes - that would be what is probably causing the issue. In iTunes on your computer, sign in that old Apple ID, then go to the "Store" menu option to Authorize the computer for that Apple ID. That should resolve the issue.
