Device manager says that the iPod driver cannot be found

Hey all,
Recently my computer wasn't recognizing my ipod nano 6th generation. When I looked into the driver issue, I saw the following image. It looks like the Apple Mobile Device driver is working fine, but iPod driver under "other devices" is not working. When I click to manually update the driver, the computer tells me that windows cannot find a driver that supports the device. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, egiles87.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed > Step 5 > If only Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod appears.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I keep getting an error message that says that the hard drive cannot be repaired. Therefore I cannot get the computer to start up.

It doesn't sound like you are doing anything incorrectly from what I can see. Have you tried restarting the iPad and then see if you can backup?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

ITunes alert says that the required disk cannot be found when trying to import a CD.

I've purchased three new CD's, when I try to import them into my iTunes using the standard promt of AAC Encoder I get the following error message
Error Occurred while converting the file The required disk cannot be found.
Any advice?

This can occasionally happen, if iTunes cannot find your iTunes library. Do you keep your iTunes library on an external drive? Then check, if this drive is properly mounted. Does it appear on your desktop?
Sometimes simply rebooting will resolve problems with a drive that is not accessible. Also, check the settings for the location of your iTunes Media folder in the iTunes Preferences > Advanced panel:

When I try to sync my phone it says that "the required file cannot be found". I'm just past warranty - of course - any ideas on how I fix this?

I plugged in my IPhone 3GS to sync and it went through the process but at the end it said it couldn't find the required file. What could have happened?

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder. If location can be found here:

The messages are saying you have a 2G iPOd. Those canonly go to 4.2.1. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPOd. A 32 can be either. To further identify yours:

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

My computer broke and I got it fixed. It doesn't say that the hard-drive was replaced, but I can tell my data is gone, including Pages that I bought. Is there any way of getting that without paying for it again?

Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.
Best of luck.

I have had the same problem. Try and try again was the advice from my telecompany. I did and eventualy it worked. With my phone i had to try for five hours. With the ipad it was faster.

I am trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it. Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

I found another forum that had a solution. Instead of using the recovery discs that came with the mac, use snow leopard to perform the actions that I needed to do. It worked. No input/output error and the software recognized the 1Tb hard drive.

TS1702 i have purchaced many apps from the app store, and now after updating my phone to iOS 6, the apps sitting in my library in iTunes wont transfer to my phone anymore? Says that the apps can not be found. The appstore says i have no bought apps either

I have previously bout about 30-40 apps from the app store. After a recent update to the newest version of iOS (and a reset back to factory standards), i find that i cant put any of the apps from my iTunes library, back onto my phone!? When i try, it says that the apps location cant be found!? I tried going into the app store and in the app section going into 'Purchaces', in the hope that i could just re-install them from there (because i have already paid for them), but in there, it tells me that there are NO apps in my purchaces list!? This is quite concerning because i have spent quite a bit of money on these apps, that now seem to be un-usable?! Ican still put all my music on my phone through iTunes liuke normal, but Podcasts are doing the same thing as the apps?! Can someone please help me, or suggest what to do because im really getting frustrated. I really like my iPhone, but if this is what is going to keep happening, i think ill change to an Android phone. . . . .

Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.
