My 6th generation nano does not show in the iTunes window.

When I open iTunes my nano does not appear in the library window and my computer does not recognize the device, so it's also not synching. My library is intact and I've updated both the iTunes software and downloaded updates for Windows 7.  I even uninstalled and re-install iTunees.
The only thing I haven't done is changed cords.  I'm using the cord from a 1st generation ipod.  I received the 6th generation ipod as part of Apple's replacement program.
Everything worked fine the last time I synched a few months ago and when I recharged the ipod last month.
Does anyone have additional tips to fix this?

I tried all this, I mean should I reset all setting?
Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
that is restart.

  • My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore

    My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore.

    could you give us a bit more detail on the situation, Eeve?
    is it that the songs say that they're transferring, and appear on the ipod screen in itunes, but when you unplug the ipod they aren't on there? or is something a bit different going on?
    (if you're getting an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • 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:

  • Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring

    Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring  I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.

  • The burn command does not show in the iTunes file.  I recently upgraded to Yosemite.  How do I retrieve the burn function? thanks

    Have Macbook  late 2009
    2 GB
    iOS 10.10.2 (recent,y upgraded)
    The 'burn to disc' function does not show in the iTunes 'file'.
    How can I restore this feature?
    thanks

    Where are you looking for the "Burn"?
    You should be seeing it, when you select a playlist or a smart playlist in the sidebar and then use the command "File > Burn Playlist to ..." or ctrl-click or right click the playlist and select the Burn command from the pop-up menu.
    Does it not show there?

  • My device does not appear in the iTunes window.  Instead a separate window opens so I cannot sync

    My device does not appear in the iTunes window.  Instead a separate window opens so I cannot sync my device.  I have tried with both my iPad, my iPod and my iPhone.  In each case a separate window opens showing that it is fully connected to the computer, but it does not open in iTunes. 
    I have followed previous instructions to stop then start the device manager.  I have even uninstalled then reinstalled iTunes, but no luck.  Can someone help??

    Hello Linda Lev,
    It sounds like Windows recognizes that your devices are conneted, but iTunes does not. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

  • TS1363 1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes (windows 7)?

    1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC (but shows up in my computer).  Tried all the Apple trouble-shooting steps (some several times).  It used to work with Windows 7 on this PC.  Are there other steps I can try? 

    I'm not sure what "all" means, unless you state them, so if you have not done so already, you should use this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected.  Run iTunes.  Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
    Since this is a first gen iPod shuffle that IS recognized by the computer (so it's probably not a bad USB connector), you can also try using the iPod Reset Utility
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
    This is for the first and second gen iPod shuffle only, and does a lower level reset than using a normal Restore in iTunes.

  • A tip for when your 3Gen Nano does not show up in iTunes:

    This was happening to me, running 10.4.10 on both my old G3 iMac and my iBook, both with iTunes 7.5. I could not figure it out. Turns out, probably like many people, we have about 7 iPod cables lying around the house. I had picked a Firewire cable... everything was back to normal when I used the USB cable! (Although on the iMac it says synching will be slow because it's USB 1, the iBook with USB 2 is faster). Phew!

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • No Nano - does not show up in ITunes or MY Computer

    I'm new to the IPOD and have had the Nano 1 week of which I spent 6 days trying to figure out why it wouldn't show up in ITunes.
    Solution - Eliminated extra drive assignments. I had used all the drive letter assignments from E: up to T: and had to remove the E: assignment so the Nano could use it.
    More info - The first time I plugged the Nano in it worked great. I loaded music onto it that I had previously stored and was able to listen and play it.
    So I decided to add more music from my CD collection.
    I removed the 3.5" floppy drive from the laptop and inserted the CD reader.
    !! That was the critical change because now the CD reader became D: drive which the Ipod had been using previously (I'm assuming, I never actually checked until it wouldn't work).
    After that I spent days trying to figure out why the Nano would no longer show up in ITunes. See details below:
    What I've Tried:
    1st Use:
    Windows XP 2002 SP1
    Had Itunes already on PC
    Charged Nano for a few hours until battery indicated full charge
    Plugged in 1st time, loaded Nano with tunes, no issues.
    Played music for awhile
    2nd Use:
    Swapped 3.5" Floppy drive for CD ROM drive
    Added more music from CD's
    Plugged in Nano
    ITunes opens up automatically
    Nano not shown in ITunes
    Nano not shown on My Computer
    Checked USB H/W configuration - shows IPOD connected
    Nano is charging, indicates "Do Not Disconnect"

    Skip to next part of installation
    Shutdown, Restart PC
    Reconnect Nano
    No change - no Nano
    Disconnect Nano
    Remove Itunes
    Reload Itunes from CD-ROM
    Installation gets stuck again trying to "Format" Nano (Nano doesn't respond)

    Nano Restores itself
    Nano indicates "Do not Disconnnect"
    ITunes opens up automatically
    Nano still not shown in ITunes

    Checked System\hardware\device manager\USB Mass Storage Device indicates says "Location 0 (Ipod)" and device is working properly
    Unplug Nano
    Swapped CD ROM with 3.5" Floppy drive
    Reboot PC
    Connect Nano
    Battery is already fully charged
    Noticed little timer thingy in upper left of Nano spinning around, probably always did it but this is first time I noticed it.
    ITunes Opens
    Nano still not shown in ITunes
    Nano still not shown in My Computer
    Nano shows up as USB Mass Storage Device under Safely Remove Hardware
    Final solution - free up drive assignment E: so Nano can use it.

    Glad you figured it out, but wow does that all make me glad I have a Mac!

  • 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?

  • 5th generation ipod does not show up on itunes

    I have tried reinstalling itunes and the ipod hardware many times but there is still the same problem. The ipod showed up once before but since that time itunes has not recognized the ipod as being connected to the computer. Is there something wrong with my usb port??

    I have bumped into this problem as well, check the following things:
    - Do you have a USB 2.0?
    - Is there any device conflicting with the drive which is designed to iPod? For instance, I had my iPod ben put under C:\. Apparently iTunes thought that was my harddisk. In Control Panel> Computer Management you can change the name of your drivers. Call iPod M:\ or something.
    Doesn't this work? Apple has a Troubleshooter on its website called "iPod recognised in Windows, not recognised in iTunes" or something like that (easy to find). Good luck!

  • 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.
