Can't get my computers to recognize 6th generation nano

I have tried to connect my Ipod nano to both my mac and PC. neither system will recognize it (actually them - I have 2). It is not the USB cable - I have a shuffle and it was recognized instantly by both machines.
Any answers?

A shuffle uses a different USB cable connector than the iPod Nano.  You must use the standard USB to 30 pin cable like this one.

  • I can't get my computer to recognize my Ipod nano

    I'll plug my Ipod up and it says it's charging but it isn't showing up on itunes..it won't show Summer's Ipod when I plug it up

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
    Putting iPod into disk mode.
    Still no joy, See if any of these articles help.
    Windows XP cannot detect an iPod.
    USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

  • I can't get my software to recognize my second nano.  How?

    no more message than that!

    Hi disturbthecomfortable,
    I need a few more details about your question in order to help.
    Even if iTunes isn't recognizing your iPod, is your iPod showing up as a device in My Computer, or not?
    If your iPod isn't showing up in iTunes or My Computer, then check out the suggestions from here:
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows

    how can i get apple tv2 to recognize more than one computer in my house, I just got it and can only find one of two computers in my home

    Same here. I have 1 ATV2 and 2 computers and each has separate iTunes accounts (mine and my wife's). The ATV menu says "computers" so I presume you can have more than 1 computer on 1 ATV. The big question is how do you set it up?

  • How can I get the phone to recognize mini SD Card?

    I have a 32G Sandisk SD Card in the G4 mini but one day the phone said the card was blank and unsupported.  I purchased another SD Card and installed it however the phone does not recognize that I have an SD card.  When I try and save music or pics to the card the phone says I have removed the storage.  How can I get the phone to recognize the card storage?

    First of all do you Mount or Unmount the card from the settings menu before pulling the card out of its slot? Make sure that the option Mount is greyed out in you settings menu when the card is in the phone. If not select it.  If you pull the card out of the phone select Unmount first.  You can also try formatting the card from the same settings menu.  If these two things do not work, then either the card is defective or the card hardware slot is defective.

  • Can I get my computer to recognize my iPod w/out losing music???

    An iPod (60GB) given to me by a friend, with about 500 songs on it, will not be recognized by my laptop (I get the iPod Updated launched and the only option it gives me is to reformat). I use another iPod (mini) on this laptop too. How can I get my computer to recognize it, or is it possible, without reformatting and losing all of the music already on it? I don't have any of the paperwork / drivers / cds that came with it, but it is still under warranty (88 days left). Please help!!! Is there a way to get the music saved off of it before I reformat it?
