IPod Nano does not show under Devices (in iTunes) but is recognized in My Computer and also iTunes opens up automatically when it is connected

I dont think there is problem with iTunes; I uninstalled the right way and re-installed. And, moreover, my other iPod touch gets connected and synced perfectly fine. However the Nano 6th GEN just refuses to.. . Please help! Have tried all options under apple/support website, and uninstalled/ reinstalled drivers too.
Using Windows 7, 64-bit operating system
Some analysis that I did are below, with screenshots, hope it helps:

  • TS3716 installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano  does not show in the device menu

    installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano  does not show in the device menu

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • CD does not show under Devices on iTunes

    I am a new user and would appreciate any suggestions. My iPod shows under Devices on iTunes, and I've had no problem buying music from iTunes store or loading to iPod.
    I have set iTunes to be the default player of music cds but they do not play when loaded (iTunes opens) and the CD does not show under Devices.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • My 6th gen Ipod nano does not show up in Itunes or in My Computer

    I do not think that this is a problem with my computer because I own an older 5th gen nano and have never had problems with it before. Both my computer and Itunes has no problem seeing the older Ipod right now. I have followed the troubleshooting guides and I'm still stumped on why my new Ipod won't appear. I've read several disscussions and haven't found the fix yet. My newer Ipod has been connected to another computer before but I don't know whether it was a Mac or a PC, and I believe that is the problem. I was thinking maybe it would help if I completely reset my Ipod, I don't mind losing any music, but I have no idea how to if I can't connect it to my computer. Please tell me how to reset it to facory settings or if you think that something else will work I'm completely willing to try that too. Thank you.

    Thanks for a reply
    The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
    I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
    I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

  • My ipod nano does not show in my itunes

    An ipod has been detected but it could not be indentified

    For anyone else having this problem, I found this solution to work. Try this first:
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
    d)If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    f) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh
    install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

  • IPod does not appear under devices in Itunes

    These problems started a couple weeks ago: When I connect my iPod classic to my Windows 7 laptop, it doesn't appear under devices in iTunes, but the iPod says its connected. Also, a little blue sheild appeared over the iTunes icon on my desktop. When I click on iTunes, a message comes up telling me to turn off compatability mode before I open iTunes for best results because it was running on an earlier version of iTunes. I've tried switching the compatability around and all of the troubleshooting options possible for iTunes but nothing has changed and my iPod still does not show up in devices. What sould I do?

    The blue shield is Windows 7 telling you, to log in as Administrator, it need this higher priviledge to add devices like your iPod to the Machine.
    Perhaps, you can go to Microsoft forum, for the how_to override. (must be install and run iTunes as Administrator)
    Have a nice day!
