Cannot download music from iTunes to iPod nano

I just got an iPod nano, downloaded iTunes & started downloading music. Now my question is: Why can't I download ANY songs from iTunes to my iPod nano & how can you tell which ones are iTunes & which ones are Apple Music? I got the message that 100 songs I had chosen were Apple Music & you can't get them on the nano because it has no internet, but I can't get any of them.

iPod nano, Windows 10

As far as I'm aware, you cannot add Apple Music songs to an iPod nano.


To add music that is in your iTunes Library to the iPod, you need to actually tell iTunes what to add.


Connect the iPod nano to iTunes and look on the Device/Settings/Music pane (1.):

  • Tick the Sync Music option (2.)
  • Choose either Sync Entire Library, or Sync selected playlists, artists, albums and genres (3.)
  • If you choose Sync selected playlists etc., the boxes at (4.) will appear and you use those to choose which playlists, artists, albums and genres will be added
  • Once you have set your choices, click on teh Sync button in the lower right hand corner of the window to activate these changes
