    What do you mean it is not working?  Does it power on?  Is it recognized in iTunes?  Need a bit more detail in order to assist you here.

  • Why isn't my Ipod nano 6th generation being recognized on itunes after updating software to 1.2

    Why isn't my Ipod nano 6th generation being recognized on itunes after updating software to 1.2?

    I found that all the movies that I want on my nano have iTunes extras.

  • Just bought an IPod nano 7th generation.  I have a Mac computer OS X v10.5.8 with 10.6.7 iTunes player. To use the new IPod nano I need a OS X v10.6.8 or later and iTunes 10.7 or later. What are my options to upgrade the Mac?

  • My ipod touch has stopped being recognised by itunes following trying to download a book from audible.  It sees it as a camera

    Can anyone help me?  My ipod touch has stopped syncrinising with itunes following a download from audible.  It seems to be recognised as a camera.  The ipod sign dows not come up in the left hand side of itunes.

    I have now removed and re-installed every piece of Apple Software on my laptop. I assume this would result in the drivers being re-installed.
    However, when I plug the iPOD in a message comes up 'Installing Device Drivers'. Then a message comes up that they are installed successfully, but it does also say 'Searching folders for preconfigured drivers...'. After 10 mins I assumed this did not mean anything and closed the window.
    It is not convenient for me to check the other computer's drivers. Anyway, the iPOD used to work on this computer. The only thing I have done on this computer re device drivers is to start using a USB mouse (which installed drivers) and I also checked them all for updates. Only the Intel ones updated.
    Needless to say the iPOD is still unrecognised in iTunes.
    Any further help much appreciated.

  • IPOD Touch has stopped being recognised on my computer

    My iPOD Touch has linked to my iTunes sucessfully for a year or two until last week when it stopped being recognised. It is recognised when I plug it into my daughter's computer, and when I did this the iPOD software successfully updated.
    Also my other daughter's iPOD Nano is recognised on MY computer.
    I have re-installed iTunes and updated all USB drivers but problem persists.
    The iPOD does appear as a connected peripheral on my computer.
    I have tried re-setting/restoring the iPOD Touch. It has only gone into Restore mode a couple of times and iTunes starts downloading. However, nothing happens subsequently except an Apple Mobile Device has stopped working message appears.
    Can anyone help?

  • TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

    My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
    Any suggestions?

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Ipod min has stopped being recognised

    My ipod mini was installed on my windows XP and tunes bought/downloaded from itunes. Six months later and computer has stopped recognising ipod. Message says to "reset" or "restore" and only the restore option (with subsequent loss of songs) can be activated.
    Need suggestions to ensure that original PC recognises ipod.
    Posible cause of problem: ipod was connected to a Mac to download songs from a friend's itunes (no songs bought).
    Thanks!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless that has stopped being recognized as powered on

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless that has stopped printing.  Troubleshooter identifies that the printer is not powered on, when indeed it actually is powered on.  I have tried unplugging the printer and resetting the network information as well as rebooting my computer all to no avail.  The printer is being recognized by the network without any issues, just for some reason it doesn't think it is powered up.  I very much appreciate and thank you in advance for any information and advice.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @margarethpayne 
    I read about the scanning troubles you are running into with your Officejet 8500 Wireless, on 10.6.8. I have some ideas that could help.
    In order, try this:
    Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    Repair disk permissions
    Restart the Mac
    Re-add the printer, this is the direct link for you: HP Officejet Pro Full feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.6
    Try scanning again now.
    Let me know the results

  • IPod Nano has stopped uploading my movies...

    My Ipod Nano 4th Generation has stopped uploading movies. It used to before. Yes, I had my movies marked as "watched", but now when I do that it won't show up in my Movies. Not to to long ago, my Nano had stopped working for a bit until I restarted it. Help?

    Hello xZeroChanx,
    What options do you have ticked from under your Nano's Movies tab in iTunes?  I'm assumimg you are not getting any error messages while syncing your iPod with iTunes correct?

  • My ipod nano isn't being recognized by itunes. why not?

    when i try to connect my ipod nano to my laptop it wont connect. itunes says it cant recognize it all of a sudden. can someone help me fix this issue?

    After doing everthing recommended online unsuccessfully I tried this. Bear in mind this is with a 64 bit Windows 8.1 OS. 
    Here it is:
    1.Control Panel
    2.Programs
    3. Uninstall or Change Programs
    4. Uninstall iTunes
    5. Uninstall Apple application support, mobile device support, software update (I even removed Bonjour and Quicktime).
    6. Go to apple.com and download iTunes again from the beginning.
    7. See if it works (hope it does)
    You'll have to download Quicktime again, but no big deal. After I did this my laptop and iTunes finally recognize my nano and iPhone 3GS. In my control panel it appears that the other applications have also been restored (as you would expect). For those of you still stuck despite the recommendations online, I hope this helps you out.
    Good luck!
