6g nano wont connect to computer / charge

My 1.5 year old 6G Nano all of a sudden has stopped working.
It wont connect to my Laptop (Dosnt even come up on the USB icon) and therefore will not charge or work.
Not happy. Tried on power point chargers, different computers and still the same.
So is it stuffed. No need to be nothing has happened to cause any issues.
Help appreciated.
Cheers

What is the error message? and how many apple divices do you have on that same computer?

  • 6th Gen nano wont connect to computer or itunes.

    Alright so when i connect it itunes identifys that i have plugged in an ipod but it cant properly identify it, usually when you plug in a new ipod you give it a name and all that, but i cant even get that far. My itunes is updated and ive unplugged and plugged in my usb's multiple times and restarted my computer multiple times, used to safely remove hardware button to reconnect it, and turned off my firewall, it seems ive tried everything and its not working.. im about to just take it back becuase im begining to think its defective. It wont show up as a driver on my computer either, and ive tried resetting it without itunes, nothing seems to be working... if theres something i missed leave a post ill try it and get back to ya(:
    :EDIT: ive also followed the entire apple troubble shooting page for the 6th gen nanos and it didnt help me at all D:

    The older pods are different from the newer ones. The newer ones need some software to be working correctly that the older ones don't.
    It sounds like the apple USB stuff is not installed correctly for you. Here is an article from apple on what to do:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Some other things to keep in mind:
    - Don't connect the iPod through a USB hub
    - Connect it directly to the computer through a USB port on the back, not one in the front. The USB ports on the front of Windows based systems are notoriously underpowered.
    hope that helps,

  • Ipod wont connect to computer and constantly says ok to disconnect

    Hey, please help!! my ipod nano wont connect with my computer and when i plug it in the 'ok to disconnect' screen comes up with a black tick. I've tried eveything the website says and the trouble is because it can't connect to the computer i cant restore it or take it out of disk mode ( which it is apparently in). PLEASE HELP!!!

    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

  • Ipad wont connect to computer

    ipad wont connect to computer say ipad not turned on.

    You have never been able to connect the iPad to any computer nor charge the iPad when connected to the included power adaptor?
    If so, have you tried using a different USB dock connector cable to rule out a problem with the existing cable?
    If yes with no change, the iPad and all package contents include a one year warranty. If you are in the U.S., you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    Colton,
    You'll need to connect your iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • 80gb classic screen flashes n wont connect to computer but can play threw a docking radio. says fully charged but it dies when disconected.

    bought ipod used and screen flashes and wont lync to computer or car stereo threw cable. older classic does just fine with cable. i have a rigid work radio that has controls for ipod and the ipod plays, says its charged and i have all functions untill i disconect it from radio. then dead. i would like to save the music thats on it if possable.

    Yes, once I 'safely remove from drive' the ipod works normally I can listen to my media, change settings and even reset it by pressing MENU+center button. During resetting it goes straight onto the screen showing the Apple logo and then retuns back to automatically synchronizing with the computer (since its still plugged in to the usb port) and i can go into itunes and play my media via laptop. What type of servicing are you referring to? Should I try buying a new battery or sending it to apple so they can figure it out?
    Two things which happened yesterday which were sorta demoralizing:
    1 After unplugging my ipod from USBport the screen would automatically go black, right after I would hit the PLAY button and would get the "Connect To Power" Warning screen but under very Low Backlight before shutting itself down again. You could hardly see it, but now it doesn't pop up at all or give me any type of warning just a BLACK screen, so the only way of getting the unit to do anything is via usb connection.
    2. Also the day before I had fooled my ipod into being connected to the usb even though I was pulling the usb cable very slowly from underneath its adapter; sorta letting it touch the adapter but not really hooked up to it. Well I managed to get the cable off and my Ipod to work for less than 10 seconds but I was able to scroll down the Main and Playlist menus without any lag or lack of Backlight before it went out. I tried it once more and it didn't work plus I don;t see what the benefits of doing so would be @ this point. But having said that does anyone think it could be a simple battery issue or is this harddrive related? Again the Ipod only work swhen connected to my usb & tells me its fully charged, but once unplugged it goes completely blank...

  • Iphone 4s wont connect to computer

    This actually has gone on for a while now but now its almost a necessity because it seems to be the only way ...
    my iPhone 4s will not connect to my computer since the 7.1.1 update, and to date at 8.0.?!?!?!?
    i updated to 8.0 first day,
    i missed 8.0.1
    i downloaded 8.0.2 and attempted to install
    the first time i got stuck because i didn't have enough space. i hard reset and deleted a few apps.
    i installed 8.0.2 to find my self with a recovery mode bricked iPhone 4s
    i get an iTunes logo and a cord.
    in my mind i thought " okay i just need to fix what ever is keeping it from connect to computer"
    but i noticed the iTunes logo was Red and i freaked out.
    if all is well then the red logo would mean i need to reset my phone, connect to iTunes etc. etc.
    i'm fine with wiping my phone, but i cannot connect to my computer, or iTunes.
    BASICS
    this problem runs with multiple cables
    this problem runs on my computer ( i have not thoroughly tested such act on other computers, but I will tomorrow no doubt)
    this problem cannot be fixed by changing my cable ( as the cable works with many other phones )
    this problem is not affected by my operating system ( although i have not tested on a mac yet )
    upon connecting to my laptop my phone will charge, windows will not detect my device as result calling upon error code 10 or 43
    windows will not see my iPhone in device manager unless its called "unknown device"
    when i plug my phone into the computer i do not get any sign of installing or searching for drivers
    i get error code 10 when i attempt to manually install apple drivers
    i have reinstalled iTunes 32 times without any problems
    i have uninstalled all parts of iTunes and reinstalled from scratch 23 times
    i know this problem revolves around the computer itself or the phone itself
    i have not tested other apple products on the computer, but USB drives work flawlessly ( but take time to begin searching/installing drivers leading me to believe the problem revolves on the phones hardware )
    this problem is not effected by iTunes version as i have tested the 3 latest versions
    my warranty is void for being old lol
    and i really think that your great mind(s) can help me resolve this problem
    THANKS IN ADVANCED

    Well, it appears that you have the latest version of iTunes, as you report removing and reinstalling. Just make sure you are using the latest one.
    The error codes you are reporting are Windows errors, not iPhone or iTunes errors, which makes me what to believe that you are having a computer issue. You can take a look at this support document for a little help with the iPhone driver, see step 5. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    You again report an error when trying to manually install a driver, again this is a Windows error. You would need to search Microsoft for help with those.

  • Ipod wont connect to computer for erase/restore

    I connect my ipod mini to the computer and I try to erase/restore it but i can't because as soon as the ipod comes up in my computer, the ipod restarts, breaking the connection, so i cannot reformat it.
    I have downloaded the ipod updater but it won't work cause the ipod wont connect for more than a split second.
    I have put the ipod in diognostic mode to see what the problem is, but nothing seems to be wrong.
    I think I have spent the last month looking on the interent for ways to fix the problem, but i have not yet found a solution.
    I don't know what to do!
    Please help!
    please don't just write oh yeah i have the same problem unlucky for us.
    I really do need help! :$
    Please get back to me soon.

  • Ipod will connect to computer & charge but won't connect to itunes.

    for some reason, my ******** ipod that ive had no problems with since i got it (a few months ago), won't connect to itunes but yet will charge. ive tried a different usb port, and ive tried to reset my ipod, but it still wont connect. i dont want to have to re-install itunes & have to save all my music to a different place (blah blah) but i guess if i have to i will.
    HELP. because i really need to add new music to my ipod & this is really starting to make me mad.

    Hi kirsten,
    If your iPod is "********", do we want to bother to fix the problem?
    Assuming it isn't "********", have you tried the 5 R's?
