Ok, I finally replaced the ipod nano which I stupidly left along with a DS and 8 games, on the flight over, unfortunately it was not handed in, but hey ho, we live and learn. Luckily the insurance we took out covered it and thus my replacing it.

My iphone is an 8gb one, so therefore my current itunes reflects this capacity, however I decided to invest in a 16gb nano, so, I obviously want to fill it, firstly with what's on my current iphone itunes, and then some more. So my question is this, how will I manage this? I dont want to plug in my iphone only for it to become crammed with the tunes that I only really want on my nano....any suggestions pleasey!? Thanks in advance folks....

Try going to the preferences for iTunes and go to devices and tick the box that says 'prevent iphones, ipods and ipads from syncing automatically. When you plug in the device you should be able to just drag selected songs onto your ipod or iphone. Also when you plug in the device you should be able to sync it manually.

You seem to be a bit of an expert here!! Hope you don't mind but I have a iPod nano too and I have terrible trouble turning it off. I have to press the play/pause button at least 6 times for it to go off, am I doing something wrong?

Sorry OP for hijacking your thread!!

Not sure about being an expert but did a google search on turning off the nano and this was a link that might help.

Doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong judging by this article

Just sounds to me like uve a dodgy unit mate, sorry

Create separate libraries for each
Just hold down the shift key whilst clicking on the i-tunes shortcut and keep it held down until a pop up appears asking which library you want to use
I have the kids, mine and the wife's all with their own libraries from the one PC

Boo Hoo, I have had it over a year too so no warranty.

Thanks for that Paul, I never thought to read the instructions!! I wish they would give you an instruction book like in the good old days......

No prob.

I think the manual comes with the disc..that's if they still come with a disc. Otherwise it is available online.

I guess they stopped providing manuals because us men never read them anyway!!! LOL!

Might just be a glitch, I take it uve googled it? Also, if u lock it and just leave it does it not turn off by itself?

Jen1977ni

Cool, I'll try that!

Or even easier create separate playlists set those to sync

This may be of some help too:
