Why is my old ipod nano not being recognized by my computer as being connected?

my older ipod nano stopped being recognised as connected to my computer. it has also stopped being recognised on my xbox 360 arcade version. please advise on what to do

I have also tried a different cable and giving it a brief charge before attempting to connect to the computer. There has been no problems connecting my iPad using the same cable or USB port and the issue remains the iPod.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • Why is my 8 month old Ipod Nano not charging/synching?

    My Ipod Nano is no longer charging with the USB cable in either my laptop or my apple charger. It started to sporadically charge/synch and is now not doing it at all. Everything else works with USB drive on the laptop and I have no problems charging my Ipad on the apple charger so the issue must be with the Ipod itself. I use my ipod every day for running. Is there anything I can do or am I going to have to trash an 8 month old Ipad?  I've tried resetting the Ipad and that makes no difference.

    Check the dock connector on the Nano and clean any dirt/debris/dust bunnies you might find. Clean it with a soft brush. While you are doing this get a magnifying glass and look at the pins. If you see rust/corrosion then sweat has damaged the connector.

  • IPod Nano Not Seen/Recognized by iTunes

    My iPod Nano 2G Model PA478LL running software 1.1.3 is not recognized by iTunes 11.0.4 running on either a MacBookPro (10.8.4) or a MacAir (10.7.8).  First time using it in a while.  Any ideas why it doesn't show in iTunes anymore? Otherwise the unit is fine and plays songs I sync'ed years ago.

    It took me twice, but a full reset by pressing the Menu and Center buttons together finally worked, and iTunes saw the iPod nano.

  • IPod Nano isn't recognized by iTunes/computer

    I've had my iPod Nano for almost six months now, and up until now I haven't had any problems with it. When I connect it to the computer, it charges but it doesn't say "Do not disconnect", it doesn't sync any new songs and on iTunes, there is no "device" section and the computer doesn't recognize the iPod.
    I've downloaded the latest iTunes software, and I use a Windows XP OS, it's a Dell PC.
    Please help! I've looked at many of the support topics, but none of them seem to fit my situation. Thanks.

  • My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by my computer or by ITunes. What could be some reasons?

    My new Ipod Nano 7 does not come up as a drive on my computer. The computer clunks to acknowledge a new device is attached but it is not shown in explorer. ITunes DOES open as it should, but it gives me a message "An IPod has been detected but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the IPod and try again. If the problem persists, please uninstall ITunes and reinstall ITunes." We did all that, several times. The new IPod does work correctly on our other laptop, of the same generation, with similar security. Could this be a block specific to some security on my computer? We tried all ports on my computer. I can't troubleshoot using my previous IPod because I put it through the laundry - thus the reason for a new one.

    Hi MartyP680, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that you're receiving a message that your iPod nano can't be identified properly, and you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes. You've also isolated this behavior to only one of your PCs. 
    If the issue persists, there are some additional tips in this article that may help, including verifying that the Apple Mobile Device Support service installed properly and is running:
    iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod could not be identified properly - Apple Support
    The "Learn More" section also mentions some other potentially conflicting software to look for on your PC. 
    Best Regards,

  • Why isn't my ipod nano not getting podcasts after I switched to Windows 8

    My old computer died recently, so I switched to a laptop that runs Windows 8.  I downloaded itunes on to it.  I can see the new podcasts download at the top of itunes, but these new episodes don't show up on my ipod.  When I click on My Ipod, the sync button on the bottom doesn't work.  I also cant find the bar that I used to use at the top to disconnect my ipod.
    I've tried to remove all the apple software and reinstall, but I get the same results.
    Please help, as now my ipod is useless without being able to download new podcasts.
    Thans in advance

  • IPod nano cannot be recognized by my computer (and then some)

    i recently got a 4 GB nano and my computer cannot read it. i have itunes installed and it runs perfectly well. but when i connect the ipod, it brings up a message saying that windows cannot recognize the hardware because of a malfunction.
    i know that the ipod works as i have tested it on another computer and was able to put a few songs on there. i would use the other computer but it has other problems that limit ipod operation (CDs can't be read)
    not only will my computer not recognize it, but more often now when i connect the ipod the computer completely restarts as soon as the ipod comes on.
    i don't know what's wrong but i know that the ipod works fine and i have used the USB ports numerous times before
    can anyone help?

    Did you try using another usb port? my hardrive has two maybe yours does. And if you have a game console, some of those have usb ports so plug your ipod in there and see if that reconizes it.

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

    I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
    1- games
    2- voice memo

    1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
    2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.
