My Ipod Nano 5th generation is not being detected by Widows and Itunes. I have tried everything based on the trouble shooting tips outlined. Has anyone had this situation before? How was it resolved. My Ipod is just out of warrenty

Have done all trouble shooting tech a through Apples and still have not resolved issues on Windows and itunes not detecting my Ipod  nano 5th generation device. Tried restoring the device manually using disk mode and still not being detected by the computer. Device is our of warenty as when service repair charges are $125.00 dolars more than I paid for this device. There must be some way to restore the entire device to factor settings without having to be connected to itunes and Windows. I wish I could connect but again device is not being read. I have another Ipod that is 8GB instaed of 16GB and it works fine. The sad thing about this situation is that my 9year old daughter worked hard doing delivering fliers for a long time to save her money to buy this 16 GB 5th generation Nano. Otherwise the Ipod works well but will not syncronize songs as it is not being detected. Maybe this is a result of corrupt files that got onto my daughters Ipod somehow and thus causing it not the be detwected through the USB connection thus as a result not be understoud as a working device through Windows and itunes. If anyone can help me out there including itune techs that would be well appreciated, but for now my daughter is not able to add new or delete any songs on her ipod as well pictures, and everything. Thanks

Try changing the cord. I could NOT get my computer to recognize my iPod 5th Gen until I read somewhere that different apple devices use different cords. I was inadvertently using my iPad cord and that caused my computer to not recognize my ipod.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping randomly within a song and sometimes skips to new songs.

    My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping randomly within a song and sometimes skips to new songs. I have tried resetting it. I have tried updating and adding new software. I even tried just leaving it off for a few months and still it has this problem. The shake skip setting is not on. What I am to do? Also it is out of warrenty

    Since you have already tried a hard reset, perhaps you could try a full restore of the Nano in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the iPod, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. This would rule out the possiblity of data corruption or a software glitch on the device.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Are you sure the settings are correct? Did you check the outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • My iPod nano 5th generation will not turn on or charge. What is going on??

    Yesterday, after listening to my iPod, I forgot to lock it and it died. When I tried to charge it, however, the screen would not even light up. I then connected it to my computer just to see what it would do (I have a wall charger) and my computer recognized it but itunes did not. The screen stayed black. Do I need a new battery, or is something else going on?

  • Why's my iPod Nano, 5th Generation, 8GB not showing the right album covers?

    Today, this morning, my iPod was fine. I added 2 new songs today and now it's gone all weird. If I go into my albums in a list all the covers are fine and dandy, no issue. But if I go into the side-scrolling menu everything's jumbled. I've got Britney Spears album 'In The Zone' on my iPod and that album cover, or a distorted version of it, now seems to have invaded way over half of my iPod! I don't understand why or how to fix it. I deleted the 2 songs I added today thinking they might somehow be jumbling it up but they're not. Everything else on iTunes seems to be fine. Please help!

    *I have restarted* it about a hundred times. I've tried re-uploading the old album artwork to a few of the affected albums and that makes no difference either it still stays distorted Britney instead. It's so frustrating I took hours getting all the right album covers and now it's all messed up
    Restarted your computer? Have you tried _resetting the iPod Nano?_

    Delete those 2 songs from the iPod. If your artwork returns to normal, then those 2 songs somehow corrupted your iPod artwork. Download the 2 songs from somewhere else & re-enter into your iPod.

  • HT1363 iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by computer

    I've uninstalled and installed iTunes, gone through the 5Rs, attempted all the USB ports, restarted the computer, attempted putting the iPod in Disk Mode, and I'm now going to put my iPod on YouTube with a shameful sign on it to punish it until it connects to my computer and uploads my new music! Can someone help me make these two devices communicate. BTW, the cable is functional, too. Thanks.

  • My ipod nano(5th generation) won't sync or show up in itunes

    i've been trying to sync my ipod but it won't do anything. i tried reinstalling itunes 4 times but that didn't help. i also tried a bunch of other things from the support page and that didn't help either.

    If you connect it to the Mac with iTunes NOT running, and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the sidebar as a "disk"?  Also, you can run System Profiler or System Information (depending Mac OS X version).  It is in Applications/Utilities/, but you can also run it from the About This Mac window.  Does the shuffle appear as a device under USB?
    The red light when you move the power switch to ON means very low charge in battery.  That probably means the battery is not getting charged when connected.  In terms of hardware, that could mean a bad USB port on Mac, a bad USB cable, or a bad connection on the shuffle.  In any case, power is not getting to the battery.  It might be a bad battery, but if that was the only problem, I think the shuffle would still appear in iTunes when connected.  That's why asked if it appeared in Disk Utility or System Profiler/Information; if it does, the connection is working (even though iTunes does not see it for some reason).
    You can make sure the USB port is working by using something else that is similar (like a USB flash drive) on the same port.  If you happen to have another USB cable, you also try to rule out a bad cable.

  • TS1398 My iPad will not connect to WiFi.  It will not even register any wireless networks.  I have tried everything based on hours of research on the internet including restoring the iPad to its factory settings and changing the security on my router. Hel

    I have literally tried everything that I could possibly find on how to fix the problem and it is still not connecting.  I am reaching to find out if anyone knows what my next steps would be or if I just need to contact Apple.  Thank you for your help!

    Try a soft reset or turn the device completely off then turn it back on again. Also you can toggle Airplane mode on for about 10 seconds and then turn it off. Sometimes that resets the radio signal inside the device.
    A soft reset is basically holding onto the power button and the home button simultaneously together for about 10 seconds or until you see the screen flash and it should go completely black. Afterwards, tun the device back on like normally and see if that fixes the problem.
