Computer doesn't recoginize iPod nano 7th Generation and it will not power on

My iPod Nano 7th Generation was working I plug it inot the computer and computer would not recoginize it and now it will not power up.

Try:
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation on mac will not sync or charge

    Nano worked fine for about 6 months, now it will not charge or sync whether on the Mac or in an outlet. System does not recognize it,  Reset it , rebooted system, disconnected other devices to avoid hardware conflict. Nothin. Seems like the pod itself is having problems. Plays and moves through the windows ok but running out of juice and can not connect to charge and sync. Any ideas?

    Do one ore more of the following:
    > Restart You Computer
    > Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset your Device (won't delete anything)
    > Go to My Computer (Windows XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your computer reconizes your iPod.

  • I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

  • I just recently updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and, after the upgrade finished, my iTunes library, playlists and all, vanished. How can I restore the playlists and songs to iTunes?

    I updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and it wiped my iTunes library. I no longer have my playlists or movies. I was able to recover my music, but the many, many playlists I had, I could not recover. Is there any way I could recover them?

    Hello apbvieira,
    It sounds like your iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes anymore after a recent update. I recommend the following article to help you get that in order named:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    This step will get you started, but there are additional steps in the article if you need them.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize IPod Nano 7th Generation

    ITunes doesn't recognize my IPod Nano 7th Generation. I get a message saying "An IPod has been detected but could not be identified properly". My Windows 7 computer shows the IPod Nano as a removable drive until I launch ITunes at which point it disappears from the list of removable drives. I even disabled my security software (Norton 360 but not Spybot S & D) and it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions..............Thanks

  • I have an iPod Nano 7th generation, and I keep getting an error saying that iTunes could not recognize my device. I have tried nearly everything,except I don't have admin rights on the computer, and really need help.

    I've tried a lot to get it to work, even using a new charger and putting it into Disk Mode. I really need help. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation and zeppelin air

    Is the 7th generatin ipod nano compatible with the zeppelin air (at least wirelessly)??

    Don't think so - the zeppelin uses AirPlay which is WiFi based while the Nano 7G uses Bluetooth A2DP for wireless streaming. The Nano does not support WiFi.

    You might be able to use the above, call Yamaha and ask before you purchase.

  • I have an iPod Nano 5th Gen and it will not connect to iTunes after I insert the cable.

    I just received this iPod from a friend and iTuneswill not detect it after I connect it using the cables. All it does is charge the iPod.

    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? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • I have a iPod touch 3rd generation and it will not turn on or charge.

    This iPod, when ever I turn it on all I get is the apple logo. Then about five minuts later, it tells me to plug it up, you know, the low battery simbole. But the kicker is that it is always pluged up when it is doing this! Can you tell me how to restor this iPod? I've tried force recovery but I discontinued it from my account. I've heard if you plug up to a computer it will charge better, didn't work. Thanks for helping me. Cameron44

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
