Ipod nano 7th generation usb problem

New iPod nano 7th generation not being recognized when USB plugged in. Not showing a new device or anything.  Have uninstalled/installed iTunes7.  USBs working with other devices including iPhone4S.  Using Windows 7 Home version with all updates.  Have rebooted several times.  No other USB devices plugged in while connecting new nano.  Tried on another machine with Windows 7 Professional with same results - not working.  Any suggestions?  What am I missing?  Any new drivers for 7th generation?  Did see OS 1.01 already available for nano, but cannot download until PC and iTunes recognize the device.  Thanks.

I figured out the problem.  Very simple, but overlooked at first.  It was the cable that came with the iPod nano.  I plugged it into an outlet using my iPhone cube charger, then connected my nano.  It would not recharge the nano.  Went to the Apple store and exchanged it for one that charged the nano while there.  When i plugged the new one into the PC it recognized the nano, opened iTunes and walked me thru the usual setup.  Synced with no problems.
So check your cord.

    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • IPod nano 7th generation battery problems

    I fully charge my iPod nano 7th generation then turn it off. Two days later I go to use it and it and it was flat. What is going on?
    sometimes i turn it off then it turns itself back on. But I sat and watched it after being charged and it stayed off but the next day it was still flat.
    I really need to know what's going on. I would appreciate any help.

    Hi Kelci27,
    There are a couple of troubleshooting steps you should take with your iPod nano. First, I would suggest a reset. See this article -
    How to reset iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If your battery life issue persists, restore the iPod to factory condition. See this article -
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    Should it still not be working properly you may want to contact Apple to seek service. See this page -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation USB error in honda civic 2013

    I bought an iPod Nano specifically to use in my 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid.  It is 7th generation and using firmware 1.0.3.  Some days it will work for quite a while, other times is cuts out after only a minute or two with an error message about the USB.  Honda has been aware of the issue since April of 2014 and says it is a firmware issue and it has been reported to Apple.   It only seems to be an issue with 2012-2013 Civics and 2012-2014 CR-V.
    The only way around it is to shut off the car and restart it.  Restarting the Nano won't work.  I just checked tonight to see if there is a firmware update.  There is not.  I wonder if anyone else is having this trouble and what you have done to work around it. 

    Since you were able to call, I poked around too and found a place where I could call.  If enough people actually call them, maybe they'll finally get on the stick and fix it!  The service rep also told me about a feedback site and said that people higher up in the company do read the feedback messages so I went there and left one as well. http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    She didn't seem to have any information on this issue either and said she was not aware of any plans to update the Nano firmware.  I hope she is wrong or the feedback I left will help.  If you go it too, maybe someone will do something.  Anyone with this problem - please go to the feedback site and leave a message about it!  Thanks.

  • Connecting ipod nano 7th generation through car stereo usb cord.

    When I connect my ipod nano 7th generation to my car stereo through a usb cable, (using a lightning adapter),  I am not able to control my music through the ipod, but only through the car stereo system. The car stereo system won't allow me to play my playlist on shuffle mode nor can I control the ipod itself through the device when it's plugged in. I have to unplug it and make new playlist selections. Any solutions?

    I am having the same problem with mine.  I have a Hyundai Sonota and can pair with my Ipod Nano but cannot connect.  I also would appreciate any help.  Thanks!!

  • My ipod nano 7th generation won't play anything and when i click "radio" it says to plug in headphones when they're in. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    my ipod nano 7th generation won't play anything and when i click "radio" it says to plug in headphones when they're in. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

  • Ipod Nano 7th Generation Car Radio Controls via USB Cable.

    When I use my USB connection in my Hyundai for my ipod nano 7th generation, instead of playing what it was playing when I plugged it in, as it did with my previous nano, it plays random songs and I cannot navigate to podcasts I want to listen to as the navigation is clumsy and displays file names which are meaningless to me. How do I get it to play what I want to in my car?

    It does not matter, as i stated this happened to me doing both. Currently I am using it now with the car, I got a newer car last week. But I think when I get out of the car it pauses anyways. I have noticed that if pauses I don't touch it, it stays on the same song for maybe 1 day.
    If I don't use car for 3-4 days, it starts over again. That shouldn't matter though, if I did turn it off? I need help.......

  • Ipod Nano 7th Generation is saying Use Itunes to Restore. Itunes no longer recognizes my device

    Please Help, My Ipod nano 7th generation was syncing. When I disconnected from my computer, I no longer had any music on it. When I plugged it back in Itunes prompted me to restore my Ipod. I went ahead and restored it, but it kept asking me to restore. When I unplugged my ipod, I got a white screen saying Use Itunes to Restore. Problem is Itunes no longer picks up my device. I've tried plugging it into different USB ports, I've tried to update Itunes to the newest version, and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I've tried to reset the ipod, but it still goes back to the white screen saying "Use Itunes to Restore". I've been trying everything. Please Help.
    Thanks

    No. You need iTunes on a computer to restore it.  If you don't have iTunes you can download it from here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you don't have a computer, can you can try to borrow one with iTunes installed.

  • Windows can't find driver for ipod nano 7th generation

    I just got the IPod Nano 7th generation.  When I plugged I in the computer will pick up the apple mobile storage device usb driver, but I get an error for the iPod saying that no driver was found.  I have tried connecting to different usb ports and also tried uninstalling anything related to the iPod or iTunes.  So, any help would be appreciated.

    Ok I fixed the problem I had.  I went under device manager and right-clicked the ipod icon, and told it to update the driver.  For the update though I didn't use the automatic search.  I told it to search in the location  (windows/winsxs) and it found the driver.  I hope this helps somebody else.
    Since I didn't mention it earlier I have Windows 7 64-bit.

  • Ipod Nano 7th generation not recognized by computer or iTunes

    Neither my computer nor ITunes recognizes my Ipod nano 7th generation. It was working fine until I ran an intensive AVG PC tuneup on the laptop.

  • My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

    My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
    When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?

    Thank you for the question.  Below, I have attached a couple troubleshooting articles that will help resolve the device not being recognized by iTunes.

  • My iPod Nano 7th generation is not detected in Itunes

    Hey there,
    I have a iPod Nano 7th generation and I'm working with a Windows 7 64-bit version.
    So when I got my iPod, I installed iTunes and everything went very well..
    but today I tried to sync my iPod and it is not even detected from my iTunes or my computer.
    I had the error -42110, but I found the solution on here, but it didn't work either.
    I went through a lot of questions on here, but I couldn't find any solution for my problem
    Has anyone got any idea?

    well actually I did connect my iPod 3 days later or so to my charger, because a friend of mine asked me if I'm sure that the cable is not broken. So I connected it and it charged, when I thought "Well let's try on the computer again". I plugged it in and it was detected again.. so uhm I don't really know why it did not worked the last times.
    So maybe try to restart your computer and turn off an on again the device and try it later on again.. maybe it will work then:)
    I'm sorry I can't help more!

  • ITunes doesn't recognize IPod Nano 7th Generation

    ITunes doesn't recognize my IPod Nano 7th Generation. I get a message saying "An IPod has been detected but could not be identified properly". My Windows 7 computer shows the IPod Nano as a removable drive until I launch ITunes at which point it disappears from the list of removable drives. I even disabled my security software (Norton 360 but not Spybot S & D) and it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions..............Thanks

  • Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.  I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help. 
    Does anyone have any ideas? 
    Thanks for your help.

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.
