Itunes 7.5 doesn't recognize by iPod nano (2nd gen)

After upgrading to iTunes 7.5, my Macs won't recognize the presence of my iPod nano. The iPod knows its connected, because the battery is charging, but iTunes doesn't know it's there and so can't sync. Any ideas?

This sounds like what my iPod Classic was doing a few weeks ago (before the 7.5 release of iTunes.) In my case, it turned out to need a simple reset of my iPod...
Read http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705 and see if that helps any. If not, take a look at which version of the iPod software yours is running... I know there were a few bum version numbers out for a short while... at least for the Classic.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. Are you a Mac or PC user?
Hm so have you also tried completely erasing your iPod?

Hello mhill10633,
Based on your post, it sounds as if your device is not recognized by iTunes for Windows. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:

ITunes and my PC won't recognize my iPod Nano (2nd gen.)

Just this morning, my iPod nano (2nd gen.) stopped getting recognized in my iTunes and on my computer hard drive. It still charges when it's plugged into the computer, but the device is not recognized otherwise. What is going on?? Thanks!

p.s. I also connected it to my husband's laptop and his iTunes wouldn't recognize the device either (if that helps).

Computer does not recognize my ipod nano (2nd gen.)

Hi!
I'm having a problem with my 2nd generation ipod nano. My ipod itself works fine! The thing is that my computer won't recognize it. It says something about there being some "malfunction" or other. Also, for some reason it doesn't want to charge right. Can someone please help me with this?

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

Still no joy, see if any of these articles help.

Windows Vista doesn't recognize my iPod nano 6th gen

I've had this iPod since Christmas, and last night when I plugged it in to my computer to charge, a little bubble at the bottom of my screen says: "USB Device not recognized." I've tried everything it said to do on iPod trouble shooting. I'm very poor and can not afford a new iPod, so any help will be greatly appreciated!
P.S: I apologize for my sophomoric descriptions. As you can tell, I'm not very tech-savy.

Sounds like you may need to reinstall itunes and all its bits. Here is an article from Apple on it:

My desktop all of the sudden doesn't recognize my iPod Nano when I plug it in (gives me an error message). I've tried everything! HELP!

Up until yesterday, my nano was syncing just fine with my iTunes. Out of the blue my brand new desktop doesn't recognize my iPod Nano device. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. I've worked through all the diagnostics apple had to offer... but nothing. Can you help?

Does this problematic song play okay in iTunes? Have you tried removing and resyncing it to your device via iTunes?

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?

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

Itunes won't recognize ipod nano 2nd gen

hi everyone,
I have a mac powerpc g4 and am running osx 10.3.2 and itunes 6.0.4. as far as I know, that's the latest itunes that will work with this os. I can plug in my own ipod (an old 40 gb) and everything's great. the problem is when my fiance plugs in hers -- she wants to load some of my mp3s onto her ipod. it shows up as an ipod on the desktop, but itunes doesn't recognize it. I tried the 5 R's already -- I even restored her ipod nano 2nd gen and made sure it was in mac format and had the latest software, which it now does. but it makes no difference. her own itunes/mac recognizes her ipod just fine; the problem is when we plug it into my mac. I suspect I need some different, updated driver that will explain to my mac that the thing that's being plugged in needs to be treated like an ipod. any ideas where I can find such a driver that would work with my os, or, failing that, any ideas as to anything else that would fix the problem? any help is much appreciated.
thanks,
John

My IPod Nano will charge when connected to my computer but it won't come up on My Computer or iTunes. So I can't update the songs. I've already tried reseting the iPod. Does anybody know what I can do to fix it.

ITunes no longer recognizes my iPod nano 5th gen. When plugged into macbook usb it appears as my iPhone. Previously both devices had individual identities. Have reset iPod and turned macbook off/on.
