7th gen iPod Nano not recognized with Windows 8

I am running Win8 and am having trouble getting my 7th gen Nano to be recognized either as a device on my PC or in iTunes. Is the Nano compatible with Win8? I have worked thru many of the troubleshooting guides and Apple support pages. Have the most current version of iTunes and have stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service all to no avail. Any other suggestions?

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • How do you get my 7th gen iPod Nano to work with Windows 8?

    My iPod gives me the "iPod cannot be identified" error message when I plug it into my Windows 8 machine.  I have tried literally all of the troubleshooting steps on the website.  It works on previous versions of Windows.  Anyone else have this problem?  How do you fix it?

    Ok, I've downloaded the drivers as suggested.but still not printing as it should.
    It's now printing one page as opposed to many, but it still has the jargon on top of the page as depicted in my original post?
    From this info you advised, it does suggest, does it not, that the HP Laser Jet 6p is supported.
    Meanwhile, any other advice.
    Regards

  • 6th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). tried everything to fix, but still not working... please help

    I have a 6th gen ipod nano that is not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). I get an error that it 'could not be identified properly'. I have tried all tips on the apple site to correct the problem, including unistalling and reinstalling itunes twice. Nothing works. Has anyone tried something that worked that is not part of the Apple support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218)? Thank you in advance for any help!

    I have followed every troubleshooting page on the apple support site yet my ipod nano 6th gen is not recognized by itunes
    I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
    Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • IPod Nano not recognized on Windows 7 or iTunes

    I just bought an iPod Nano. Windows 7 and the latest iTunes 10.6.3.25 does't recognize my iPod. Windows also did not ask me for my iPod name when plugging in the 1st time. Please help.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

  • Ipod nano not syncing with Windows 7

    Just replaced my XP with Windows7.  Downloaded ITunes and have downloaded my music from cloud.  My IPod Nano is not shown on the screen, yet the battery charges.  It seems that Dell has too many obstacles preventing music from syncing to nano.  What needs to be disabled?

  • Ipod nano not recognized by Windows 7 USB

    I am having trouble getting iTunes to recognize my ipod nano after installing 11.02.26.  It seems I go through this after every update of itunes.  I get the following message: 
    An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly.  Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again.
    If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install Itunes again.
    I have tried all of this to no avail.

  • 5th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes

    I plugged in my 5th gen nano and itunes told me that it could not recognize it and I had to factory reset it. I factory reset it and now it won't connect to itunes. it connects to my computer and it says connected on the ipod screen, but it won't let me sync my songs to it. I have the latest version of itunes 11.0.1. I already reinstalled itunes, restarted my conputer and restarted my ipod. Is there anything else I can try?

    I seen this problem a lot. Since you are a Windows user (I can make it real easy). If you don't have the side screen (left hand side)..... look at the Top Right Hand side (under the close button [red X] ).... you should see your iPod there. If it doesn't work, try to reset your entire iPod and it should connect to your iTunes......
    if this doesn't help.... click on the link below.....

  • IPod Nano not recognized by Windows

    Thousands of others have posted about this problem on this and other websites.
    When I plug-in my iPod, Windows provides a message that it is an "unrecognized USB device". (This happens in XP and Vista.) Device Manager shows lists it as an Unrecognized Device with no driver. I have spent at least 10 hours reading web posts from users with the same problem and trying possible fixes. None has worked.
    At the local Apple store the reps said that they would provide a 50% discount on a replacement. This policy seems unfair to customers. The thousands of posts suggest the product is defective. How many other thousands of customers paid for a replacement without posting? Now that I know of the defect, why would I ever buy another one?

  • Does the 7th gen iPod Nano work w/Bluetooth 2.1 Speakers?

    Does the 7th gen iPod Nano only work with Bluetooth 4.0 compatible speakers or should it also work with Bluetooth 2.1 devices?

    No one here would know for sure. Since the Lightning adapter is new it may take awhile before you see any. The adapter works with my Zeppelin so there are some out there that will work. It will not be Apple making it.

    reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8.  After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes.  My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem.  I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
    I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
    Nothing seems to have helped the situation.

  • Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

    Hi,  I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

    Hello Lor100,
    In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

  • Synchronisation is moving my music (7th gen iPod Nano)

    I’m having a problem synchronising my 7th gen iPod Nano with iTunes.
    When I sync, it comes up with a message saying that a whole list of songs couldn’t be copied to the iPod because they couldn’t be found. This is because when I sync, songs that I’ve listened to (i.e. ones that have been modified and need to be synced) will sometimes get moved into an entirely new folder.
    For example, I’ll have this folder:
    \Music\The Smith Street Band\The Smith Street Band – Sunshine & Technology
    Then when I sync, the songs in that folder get shifted from there to a new folder:
    \Music\The Smith Street Band\Sunshine & Technology
    And my iTunes can’t locate them anymore because they’ve been moved.
    I think I also have some songs that got renamed as well.
    I have iTunes 11.0.3.42 and my iPod version is 1.0.2 PC. I’m using Windows 7 32-bit.
