Help!  Itunes not recognizing Ipod Nano.  Have tried several things already.

Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano (6th generation).  When I plug it in to the computer, nothing happens (except it charges).  I have tried several of the recommendations (reinstalling itunes, resetting ipod, etc. etc.)  I have Windows 7 on my computer with the latest version of Itunes.  Interestingly, when I plug my Ipod into my other computer (which still has an older version of Itunes), it syncs right up and is recognized.
What can I do to get Itunes to simply recognize my Ipod?  I am beyond frustrated.

    Double check the version of iTunes on your computer. You must have iTunes 11.1 or later.

    Try b noir's post  Standalone Apple Application Support install to see if that can repair the problem or provide futher information, otherwise try reinstalling again as shown in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • HT3775 I NEED I TUNES FOR A 64 BIT PC. OPERATING SYSTEM IS WINDOWS 8, NON TOUCH SCREEN. WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTELY BEST WAY TO GET ITUNES OPERATING CORRECTLY ON MY PC????//I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS, NONE OF WHICH ARE WORKING. IS ITUNES DELIBERATELY EXCLUDI

    I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that  I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

  • My iPhone 4S screen is suddenly not reacting.  The screen has turned a light blue color but nothing is happening. I have tried several things such as holding the power button, plugging it into the wall, and plugging it into my computer. What should I do?

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

    Perhaps, iTunes can't communicate with the Apple uodate servers. Temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software would help. Take a look at this.

  • TS3212 im trying to reinstall but will not allow, due to an error 7,  itunes helper not installed correctly,i have tried several times, but will not allow me to install, i have used itunes for years but now cant use it, can you help

    i have tried to reinstall itunes because it is saying i cant use my itunes due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly, please reinstall, i have tried several times but still not allowing me to use, ive never had this problem before in all the years i have used itunes, i have gone through all the troubleshooting but still no access, can you help

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • ITunes not recognizing iPod, yellow exclamation point

    in folder. I have tried several suggestions including: reconfiguring, installing updated iTunes, resetting(?)iPod (holding select & menu for 6-10 seconds), unable to restore iPod from iTunes because it isn't showing up in Source panel, stopping & restarting service, USB ports. None of these have worked. I have had this nano for almost a year and this is the first time I've encountered this. Any other suggestions that I could try? The iPod itself is working fine it's just not interacting in any way with iTunes. I am considering a total reinstall of iTunes.
    Thanks for reading this.

    O.K. Uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled it. Cleaned out temp files, uninstalled and reinstalled again. I am out of ideas.

  • ITunes not recognizing iPod video 30GB

    I got a 30gb video iPod for christmas, and so the next day, i installed iTunes and all that jazz onto my computer. The thing is, after i plug in my iPod, it does not appear on the source list. I went through the 5 R's and did everything i could that was on the support page (There was something about a local disk, but i couldnt find it). I am pretty sure that the computer is recognizing the iPod, just the iTunes won't. I have tried it on a different computer, and it worked fine, but the computer had absolutely no music on it. If this can be more of a clue whats wrong, my sister had gotten an iPod shuffle a few months ago, and it had worked with iTunes. But then she had left for college, and when she came back for christmas, it was not recognized by iTunes either. If anyone could tell me how to get it to work, it would be greatly appreciated.

    well i have gone through this discussion page ever since my mini broke back over thanksgiving break and in the other discussions we figured out that windows did one of their automatic updates which is blocking itunes from our ipods. some people have found fixes but none have worked for me. and i called the apple support MANY times and they give NO support. i was just about to buy the video ipod but now im kinda reconsidering since my mini isnt even working. but if you look at some of the other topics in this forum maybe one of these people's fixes could work for you, (they dont ALL work for EVERYBODY, but they could work for you.)

  • I am trying to use iCloud with MS Outlook 2010 and it is not syncing.  I have tried multiple things

    I am trying to sync iCloud with MS Outlook 2010.  I cannot see my contacts in iCloud or the Calendar. I have tried multiple things; delete the iCloud from control panel and reinstall, turn on/off the calendar and contacts in iCloud panel, repair iCloud and Outlook, and I still cannot see my contacts.  Any ideas?  Thanks,

  • I am getting Safari can not open page. Server stopped responding.  I have tried several things with no luck.  Anyone know what to try?

    I am getting message Safari can not open page.  Server stopped responding.  I have tried several suggestions but they have not worked.

    This is on an iPad, correct? Are you sure you have a network connection? Is your iPad Wifi or Wifi & 3G? I know these might seem like dumb questions, but we've got to narrow it down to get a solution. If you're absolutely positive you have an active network connection we can move on to other things.

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod that will not connect. I keep getting an error message that says "USB Device Not Recognized".  I have tried 3 seperate cables and none of them are working.  Please help!

    It keeps telling me that one of the USB devices for this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.  I have tried all of the ports and still am not having any luck.  I have purchased 3 brand new cables and none of them are working.  I have tried to update the driver but it says I am using the most up to date.  I have tried to reset the Ipod by holding the center button and menu button until the apple appears.  I am not sure what else to try.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  My computer is Windows Vista!

    Hello butterflygirlie,
    Have you tried uninstalling the driver for your iPod from within Device Manager?  After uninstalling it, go ahead and unplug your iPod and plug it back in.  Doing so should cause your system to locate the proper driver for it.
