ITunes 12.1.0.50 won't recognize Nono Gen 5 on iMac 10.10.2

I am using iTunes 12.1.0.50 on my 27" iMac loaded with Yosemite 10.10.2 and it will not recognize my iPod Nano 5th Generation.  It will recognizr my older iPods, but not that one.
I've tried connecting it directly to the back, via a hub but no difference.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Howdy TeamDevine,
It sounds like just this iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes but others are. I would use the troubleshooting for it from this following article:
Apple - Support - iPod - iPod nano (5th generation) Troubleshooting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

  • Itunes library too large and won't recognize all files, just new ones but

    still shows the old ones and their location in the library. I was keeping the library on the 2TB external drive. It got too large. Now I want to put the music on one of the 1TB drives and just the videos on the 2TB drive. From my PC, I can watch everything.
    I cannot download to an iPod or iTouch anything from the 2TB drive. When I hit max capacity, I temporarily started saving on one of my internal 2TB drives (space wh*re, I know)before I hit on what my solution would be, and now I can only download from that location. Why?
    What can I do? I even tried switching the library location back, and it won't recognize anything. I'm screwed, and I have all this material... YEARS of collecting...
    Someone please help me...

    To clarify, currently on the 2TB external drive are music and videos. I want to split them up and hopefully save some space - and maybe foresee problems in the future when I hit max capacity on the 1TB external, and think about a 4GB (not the best option I see at this time) or another 2 2TB drives.
    Doesn't the Library file just save locations when iTunes closes down so everything should be OK? I mean, the prog can recognize everything, it just won't download to anything, even if I move from the external drive an older movie to the new drive, it refuses to "see" the movie so I can download it.

  • ITunes and MacBook Pro won't recognize 2 gen iPod

    I'm trying to sync my 2nd gen iPod to my MacBook Pro.  It won't come up in the Finder or on iTunes.  I've done the suggestions I found online but still can't connect.  I've never had a problem before.  Any other suggestions?

    Make sure you're running the most current version of itunes. Update if you have not done so, then:
    Follow the steps here to remove & reinstall the AMDS to see if itunes will see your phone:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
    You won't be able to do anything until itunes recognizes your phone. Once that is done, restore the phone as a "new" device in itunes. This should remove the software used to jailbreak the phone.

  • ITunes 5.0.1 still won't recognize iPod shuffle

    This is really getting old.

    Same problem. I didn't see your earlier posting. I don't want my computer to erase my Shuffle, so it is set to manual. When I plug the Shuffle into the USB port, I get an alert asking if I really want to connect, and do I want to erase everything? When I answer "no" the iTunes startup continues, but no mounted image of the Shuffle appears. Once I answered "yes" deliberately, and of course erased everything. This time the Shuffle icon appeared in iTunes, and I was allowed to spend half an hour or so choosing new songs and loading them. The Shuffle works fine, but iTunes 5.01 doesn't. I had the same result with two computers, a Powerbook 12 with OSC 10.4.2 re-installed yesterday (a clean install, of course, takes many hours), and a PowerPC G5. Please, please, won't somebody start a computer company for the rest of us--it is such a powerful idea, and I'm sure someone can do it right.

  • Itunes 11 on Windows 8 won't recognize by i touch

    When I connect my itouch or ipad itunes does not recognize.  I have a Windows 8 operating system and Itunes 11.  I have been through the troubleshooter without success.

    My IPad 1st generation is also not recognized by iTunes 11 using windows 8 on my new PC.  Apple confirmed there is a compatibility issue between the new released iTunes version to support windows 8 and iPad 1. There is a possibility this fix will be available on the next iTunes release but not guaranteed. Error (0xE8000012). Meanwhile for know you will better off connecting it to a windows7 OS.  Hope that was helpful to you.

    Hy there,
    In order for you to solve this problem you have to follow these stept if your running windows:
    1'st step is to go into the device manager
    2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
    3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
    4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    After that your itunes will pump up alown and youl see your iphone right there.
    Good luck and sry for my bad righting.

  • Installed the last itunes update and now it won't recognize my library

    I just upgraded to 10.5.3 and now my library is not being recognized.  I can see it on my hard drive but the progran is treating me like a first time user.  I have the icloud service as well but can't seem to figure out how to get my library back.

  • ITunes 10.4.0.80 won't recognize iDevices

    I know there are lots of this type of discussion but I've never gotten around to solve this problem.
    I have installed 10.4.0.80 64bit (running on Windows 7) today and tried syncing my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 which would not recognize it at all.
    I have tried removing the program and deleting system folders and reinstalling and came to NO LUCK.
    I've also switched to different cables and USB Ports.
    Is there any way around it at the moment? Seems like a lot of people are facing this problem.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem on two different machines.  Both are Vista; 32bit and 64bit. 

  • Windows won't recognize 5th gen

    yes.. I know there are atleast 3 topics about this already, but none of them quite dealt with my problem...:
    My computer (Windows) has only recognized my iPod once. I put all my songs on it, and they all play fine. Long story short, my computer crashed, I got a new one, and now nothing on my computer will recognize the iPod. It won't even give me a message of something being corrupt. It's like nothing's even there. I've redownloaded iTunes from the cd, put the latest Updater on... none of it sees that it's connected. I've tried plugging it into different USB ports, resetting, and I even had Apple send me a new cable. Anyone got any ideas?
      Windows XP Pro  

    yeah, i read that somewhere when i was looking for answers. the problem with that is that only my C: drive is there... my computer doesn't even see that it's connected. thanks for the advice though.
    i just keep looking at the iPod, and i don't understand how it can charge through the computer, but yet it won't be recognized. ugh, i don't even know where to begin. any advice or links to threads anyone think might help would be much appreciated.

  • IMovie won't recognize Camera in my New iMac

  • Mac won't recognize two USB mics simultaneously (iMac Intel - OS X 10.6.8)

    Hi, I'm connecting two XLR mics to my Mac, each separately run through its own Blue Icicle and USB port. (2 mics, 2 blue icicles, 2 usb ports) When only one mic is connected, the computer recognizes. Each mic works individually in each USB port when it's the only mic connected. But when both mics are connected at the same time, only the first mic plugged in is recognized.
    This is not a Garage Band-centric problem. I've gone to Audio MIDI Setup and still only the first mic plugged in appears, but not the second one.
    Any help you can provide is much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Matt

    So I can't speak to the specifics on Icicles, but I would imagine it's identical the situation I just ran into with two Yetis. Bue Yetis have identical digitial footprints and therefore no matter how many you plug in, they will be recognized as a single device.
    I contacted Blue and ultimately I was able to send one of my Yetis to them for reprogramming and now my Mac will recognize it along with another Yeti in order to create an aggregate device.
    Fair warning, this process took over 2 weeks and I had to pay out of pocket shipping, they paid FedEx ground (signature required) back to me. Hope that helps anyone else.
