HELP!! No problem with Itunes, but can't update or mount nano

I've searched these discussions forever and tried myriad of suggestions and still nothing works. Here's the problem
My nano charges fine and Itunes recognizes it and updates the music fine. My nano plays fine. However, my nano never stays in disk mode. I can change the option and Itunes updates it. I disconnect the nano, reconnect it and it shows up in My Computer for about 30 seconds, and then immediately disappears. I've noticed that it shows up in My Computer only until Itunes recognizes it. As soons Itunes recognizes the nano, it disappears from My Computer. Also, as soon as Itunes recognizes it, it immediately looses the "disk mode" and I have to turn the option back on again.
This causes me to be unable to mount the nano and I can't update or restore the nano using the updater, so I'm still on version 1.1.
I've tried the hard reset of the nano; still the same problem. I've tried using disk management to format or change letters, but it disappears as a drive before I can get it started. I am dumbfounded.
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?????
Nano 2 GB Windows XP

Well, your post didn't help but I had an "ah hah" moment and finally got it working. I set the nano in disk mode again, and disconnected, but this time when I reconnected I had the updater program ready to be clicked on and My Computer open. As soon as the nano showed up in My computer, I immediately hit the Updater program and was finally able to get the nano to mount. When it finally mounted, I was able to format the nano from My Computer, and when that was done was able to restore. NOw it works again!

I've never had problems with iTunes, but I recently moved to a SSD and now music skips.

Howdy all. I've recently replaced my Analog HDD with a Solid State drive, (Samsung 840 250GB) which is so much faster, but only problem now is when listening to iTunes, I notice serious skipping. I have reinstalled drivers for chipset, audio, optimized the BIOS, yet still experience skips while under processor load, and also when system is only playing audio. I had no problems with this prior to the SSD and all was solid. I have uninstalled iTunes, rebooted and reinstalled to no avail. I'm running a Dell Latitude E6500 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz with 4GB DDR2 667. The SSD is a Samsung MZ-7TD250. All else on the machine is rock solid. Any advice on this? iTunes version is 11.0.4.4.

I don't have a definite answer, but by any chance do you have your hard drive encrypted? (e.g. Windows BitLocker, or a third-party full-disk encryption package)
Playing my iTunes media files on my laptop used to work perfectly. Ever since the full disk encryption software was installed, my music skips & buzzes (and sometimes just plays more slowly, which is really weird) whenever the files don't get decrypted fast enough. That's usually when other apps are also accessing files, maybe there's a disk access priority scheme that doesn't work as well when it has to funnel through the decryption driver?
Also, although my symptoms are occurring on a rotating disc drive, I've heard that there are some compatability problems between the disk encryption packages and the SSDs.

Any help for my problem with iTunes 11.2.1 update and "unknown error (-54)"

After downloading iTunes 11.2.1 update I can't get into iTunes Store and keep getting an error message "unknown error (-54)". What does this mean? How do I correct it? No sense in having iTunes if I can't get into the store or my account.
Thank you for any help.

Why is this Itunes such a pile of junk? If I restart my computer I can sometimes find the recently added music in my Itunes Library.
It would be nice to know if other people are having the same problems.

New Shuffle won't work with itunes, but can't download newest version.

I just got a new shuffle and when I plug it into my computer it tells me I need Itunes version 10. When I try to install Itunes version 10 it says 'Couldn't open "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5'. What do I need to do to get everything working?

Yeah, I just bought an iPod Shuffle and have run into this same issue. I don't want to upgrade to iTunes 10 because I did so on my work computer and am dealing with a headache of an issue with it (sort of off-topic, but it's doing that rapid flashing thing when loading in a CD, ultimately not recognizing it or letting me download the songs, unless I turn off the feature that downloads the song titles automatically, which is fairly important to me). I did some searching around here and found it's a common issue with no solution at the moment. I definitely don't want to deal with that on my personal computer, so I've stuck with iTunes 9. But now that means I can't use the Shuffle I just purchased. How frustrating. Any solution?

Iphone 3g sync problems with itunes 9.2 after updating on another computer

Hello
I have an old mac which will not allow me to update itunes to 10.x. So I have been updating my iphone via another computer (which apple support to itunes 10.x) and my old mac has been able to see it still and therefore I have been able to backup/update it.
However after updating to ios 4.2, my old mac has not been able to sync to it and itunes tell me that I have to update to itunes 10.1 (which I cannot).
Last time I updated, I had to restore my iphone due to various problems (mainly to do with itunes 9.2 allowing me to download the unsupported ios 4.1). I didn't have to restore this time and this maybe what has caused me the problems. Does anyone know whether I can solve my problem of syncing to itunes 9.2 by restoring my iphone and reinstalling ios4.2? Or is ios 4.2 not supported by itunes 9.2 at all and now I need a new computer?
Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong section.
Cheers for the help

Yes, I had the same problem this time and had email communication with Apple about it when ios 4.1 came out. Apple have made it so 10.4.11 is not supported by itunes 10.1, and so stuck with itunes 9.2.1.
When I had this problem, I decided to update on another computer (as I did this last time). But I didn't have the same problems as before (requiring a restore of my iphone) which I suspect solved the problem I have now.
However, if the restore doesn't solve this, then I have an iphone without any music on it! Or any of the apps as well.

I want to shut down the email address associated with my cloud account. I already changed it no problem via iTunes but can't do it via my phone for icloud. Help?

I am trying to change the email account associated with my icloud account. Help!

If you already changed it via https://appleid.apple.com/ and if it already works on iTunes then try to completely sign out on your iOS device (Settings > iCloud > Delete Account + Settings > iTunes & App Stores), then try to sign in again using your new address.

HELP! Problems with iTunes purchased content authorization...

I have many computers and between the wife and myself we have a lot of music. I just recently upgraded my windows partition on the Mac Pro to Windows 7 64 bit. Everything works great with the exception of iTunes. For example I will double click on a song to begin and it will tell me that my computer is not authorized to play the song... I will fill out the form with user name and password it will then access the store and tell me that the computer was already authorized (I have 3 of the 5 authorized...) However it will not let me play the song... when I click it again the same annoying dialog box pops up??
Another issue I am having is that none of the videos play... for example if I click on a video (that it actually thinks is authorized) I just get a gray box where the video is supposed to be and no audio...
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing I even tried using a restore point. Any ideas?? Thanks. Matt.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

Thanks for your help.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
