  • 6th gen ipod nano serial number not being recognised by support

    I have just tried to register my 6th gen ipod nano on Apple's website and I get a message that says the number is not recognised, recheck and try again.  At first used number from nano box, then tried again after connecting nano to computer (same number appears of course) but still not being recognised.  The fact that the serial number is not being recognised is not helpful when you need help from support as they also require this information before they will contact you.  Why is my nano's serial number not being recognised?  More to the point, how do I get apple to recognise it?

    Are you sure aren't mistaking I's for 1's or O's of 0s?
    If you head to Settings - General -> About, does it list the same serial # there?

  • My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

    my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
    I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
    I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
    I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My ipod nano 2nd generation stopped being recognised in itunes. using windows 8, all our other ipods are fine

    My ipod nano 2nd gen just stopped being recognised in itunes. I'm using windows 8.1..and not had any problems with ipod touch 5th generation or nano 7th gen.
    The ipod charges up as indicated by the battery icon but not being recognised at all in itunes or as a connected device or drive on my PC. was working fine the day before then just stopped. I can still listen to the ipod but obviously not load on new songs as not being recognised.

    Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and get it serviced. Sounds like the headphone jack has failed.

  • My ipod 5th gen is not being recognised by any PC

    I have tried connecting to 3 different PCs with several different original cables. I have tried disk mode, reinstalling itunes, resetting ipod, restarting the apple services - every suggestion I have been able to find. When connected it charges but no message appears on the ipod screen. Haven't been able to restore the ipod as it is never recognised. It plays music normally and was connecting normally up until last week. It hasn't ben exposed to water or dropped etc (to my knowledge).
    Any suggestions?

  • My ipod 5th gen is not being recognised my windows or itunes

    My ipod was fine working on windows vista, but i recently bought a brand new computer, operating system windows 7 premium 64bit. Tried most things, resetting ipod or using disk mode has no effect either.
    Plugging my ipod in never got detected, not even as a storage device. So after installing the latest itunes software (itunes for windows 64bit) it still would not be detected by both windows in my computer and itunes.
    in device manager though under disk drives it shows "apple ipod usb device".
    under storage volumes it shows "unknown device"
    and under USB controllers it shows "Apple mobile device USB driver"
    I searched the internet before coming here, all i could find was uninstall every single bit of apple software, unplug the ipod then reinstall itunes etc, i tried all this but had bo success.
    Obviously the ipod is fine as it works in my old pc and charges in this new one.
    Thanks to all who can offer advice.

  • My ipad 2 is not being recognised by my laptop.

    It says not recognising the hardware. I have tried both ways of opening, itunes first then plug in and the other way round ?

    First things to try:
    Different USB ports,
    Different 30-pin to USB cable,
    Restart the iPad (hold in sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously) then re-connect,
    Try another computer.
