Transfer videos from iPod Nano to Macbook Pro

Hello,


I have a Macbook Pro 2019, Ventura 13.1 and a Ipod Nano MC043, version 1.0.2 Mac

I want to transfer videos I took on the iPod Nano to my Macbook. I plugged it with USB and it does show up in Finder, and I am able to transfer things to my Ipod Nano but it seems I can't transfer from my Ipod Nano.


When I open Photos, the device does show up on the right side but almost immediately disappears again. It also appears in Music but remains there..


Is there another way to transfer my videos to my macbook? Or how can I make transfer through Photos work, because why does it appear and remain there in Music but not in Photos?


Thanks for helping in advance.

Hi Chr1sta,


Generally to transfer content from your Mac or PC to your iOS device you'd use Finder or iTunes depending on your device and OS version as outlined here:


However to transfer photos and videos from your iOS device to a computer you'll want to follow the tips below. While these are specifically for iPhone and iPad, they should work for an iPod nano.


"Import to your Mac

You can import photos and videos to your Mac by connecting your device to your Mac. However, if you use iCloud Photos, then you don't need to import. 

To import to your Mac: 

  1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac with a USB cable.
  2. Open the Photos app on your computer.
  3. The Photos app shows an Import screen with all the photos and videos that are on your connected device. If the Import screen doesn't automatically appear, click the device's name in the Photos sidebar.
  4. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust to continue.
  5. Choose where you want to import your photos. Next to "Import to," you can choose an existing album or create a new one.
  6. Select the photos you want to import and click Import Selected, or click Import All New Photos.
  7. Mac screen showing the photos available for import
  8. Wait for the process to finish, then disconnect your device from your Mac."


Cheers!
