My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2.
I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
I can't see it anymore in ITunes. I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
Many thanks for your help !

IPod nano 1st generation doesn't appear in iTunes vers. 9.02 - HELP

Since I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version 9.02, my iPod nano (1st generation) doesn't appear and I cannot synchronize it. Tried to change USB port, no result. Tried to uninstall iTunes and install earlier version 8.2 for Windows XP, but it won't open, saying that "the iTunes Library.itl cannot be read as it was created in a more recent iTunes version". What am I to do if I want to keep using my old nano?

I am having a similar problem. Dusted off my daughters old nano to take to the beach. Tried setting it up on the old lap top I am taking with me and I could not get it working. After hours of diagnostics and troubleshooting matrixs it seems that I did not have drivers. Apple's troubleshooting says go to microsoft, MS's says go to apple for the drivers. Shows up as a faulted device. Did the updates to the USB drivers, etc. Put the player in disk mode (still would not recognize) My laptop says yes I have an I pod but it cant find the drivers to install it My other old laptop running old I Tune software seems to have no problem. I thought it was my problem I was wasting a
Sunday on, now I am thinking that this is a problem with this latest version of I tunes.

My iPod Nano 6th generation doesn't seem to recognize album artwork. I've downloaded the artwork manually, and I've even restored my iPod to defaults several times, but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution?

My iPod Nano 6th Generation is not picking up album artwork. On several of my tracks, it recognizes the album art, but it doesn't seem to recognize the others. I've tried uploading the artwork onto several albums manually, I've cleared the downloaded artwork to download them again, I've even restored the iPod to its default settings...nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have a solution to this

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod nano 6th generation doesn´t work

I´ve got a new iPod nano 6th as an exchange unit. It works fine till i connected it with iTunes under Win7. First, the iPod appears in iTunes and a window was opened, i think, to accept the license rules. Unfortunetly i was distracted for about 5 minutes. By next gaze to iTunes, the iPod was disappeared, the license window was disappeared and the iPod was black. Unfortunetly i have tried to reset the iPod without disconnecting. Nothing happens. I disconnected the iPod, and it doesn´t works no longer. A reset between 8-15 seconds doesn´t help. An attempt to come into maintenance mode was failure. A new installation with complete delete before of all apple files couldn´t help. A deactivating of virus scan didn´t help. Other usb-cables, other PC´s even a mac didn´t help. A delete of the recovery.ipsw doesn´t help. The iPod doesn´t appear neither under windows or in iTunes. The strange thing is, by connecting with the pc, opening iTunes and an attempt to reset by 8 seconds, nothing happens. By connecting and an attempt to reset by 15 seconds, iTunes recognized the iPod, is waiting for the iPod about 30 seconds and reports, iPod recognized but not really identificated. Error 1601. If i try the reset by about 15 seconds without opened iTunes, then appears an apple mobile device under usb in devicemanager, but anyhow, no access. I´ve read, an older mobile device driver could help. I´ve extracted this driver out of iTunes version 10.5.2, deinstalled the newest driver and installed the older. It hasn´t helped. I could cry. By the way, my old iPod 2. gen works fine. I would by happy, could i get a solution. thanks a lot.

the nano screen comes up with a message 'do not disconnect'.
Do not reset your iPod if…
If your iPod is connected to a computer and displays any of the following messages, you should eject the iPod from within iTunes instead of resetting it:
Connected. Eject before disconnecting
Sync in Progress. Please wait…
Do not disconnect

When trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone with itunes the device does not appear int he upper right hand corner anymore

when trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone to itunes it does not appear in the upper right hand corner under devices for me to click on

In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none.

How do I remove the "View Coupons" ad that appears in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox window.

I find the "view Coupon" ad that appears in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox window a great annoyance. I would like to remove it from my computer. Can you tell me how to do this?

When I open an email, my computer won't go to the link listed, or when I am doing research the same thing, then I see a ALLOW in the upper right hand corner of the screen and I have to click on that. What happened and how do I fix this?

Somehow my settings have changed. When I open an email and there is a link, my computer won't allow it, also when I am doing a search, my computer won't allow certain links to open.
What I see is "ALLOW" in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and I have to click on that in order to continue my email or do a search. How did this suddenly happen and how do I change it back to being able to roam the Internet without having to click on ALLOW all the time?
Also, I set up Google as my home page, but it won't list Email or any other options. I have to type in Google in the Google box, then Email appears. How do I get the right Google set up as my home page so I can access Email without jumping through hoops.
Thanking you so much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
