HT1369 my iPod nano 4th generation is not recognized by iTunes.

I have always used iTunes with this iPod.  I have Christmas music on it and I want some other music.  This is only used for music on the Bose. It worked before Christmas but there has been updates to iTunes since then so don't know if thats the problem.
I have googled it and have tried everything that is mentioned but it still is not recognized.  It shows up as a drive in my computer but on the devices for iTunes it isn't there. 

iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

  • My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itune

    My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itunes or my computer.
    It has a list of instructions as to how to fix it and I followed them until it said to load the driver for the device from a disk.
    I have no such disk nor do I know of one.
    My computer said the driver is present but there is a problem installing it.
    Does anyone know of what disk they are talking about?

  • IPod shuffle 4th generation will not connect to iTunes.

    iPod shuffle 4th generation will not connect to iTunes.  Windows Vista and iTunes, all updates current.  Cables secure & connected.  Device driver will not load.  iPad will connect when tried with several other computers.  When I try to connect it will hang iTunes until I re-boot.  iPad does NOT appear in Windows Explorer either.

    Oh, so the iPad DOES work fine connected to the same computer and the same port.  I thought you said it did not in the first post, but maybe you got that working (or I misunderstood before).
    NOTE:  When things are working properly, the shuffle will not appear in Windows Explorer (except when actively syncing), unless you have Enable disk use turned on for the shuffle.  So not seeing it in Windows Explorer may not be a problem.
    Is this shuffle a new purchase... so it did not previously work for you on this computer?  If so, make sure that the shuffle end of the USB cable is fully inserted into the headphones jack.  The fit can be tighter than expected, and it may seem connected, but is not.  For a surprising number of people, this was the problem.
    In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of window) visible.  If it is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When there are no devices connected, the heading DEVICES should not appear in the sidebar.  When you connect your iPad, DEVICES should appear, with the iPad listed below.  If you connect the shuffle, it is be added to the list under DEVICES.  To confirm, you do not see the shuffle listed there under DEVICES, when it is connected?
    When you connect the shuffle, does its light on the shuffle do anything?

  • Ipod nano 1st gen is not recognized in itunes 10

    I updated my computer system to leopard 10.5.8 as well as the latest itunes 10. I bought a new ipod nano 6th gen, and it syncs and works fine. The problem I have is my old Ipod. It is detected by my power mac on the desktop only the icon it has is a folder, and when I open it is in blank. I open Itunes 10 and it doesn't appear. And I tried to follow the instructions on apple support, tried all ports, tried reseting the ipod, and it is still not showing up on itunes. Can someone help me with this please?
    Also, a white line showed up on the screen, does that mean the screen is broken? I can still see everything going on normally on the ipod but not where the line comes up (middle of the screen).

  • My Ipod nano 4th generation will not charge or turn on! Please help

    I bought a refurbished Ipod nano 4th generation 2 weeks ago from a good reliable ebay seller. It arrived and was in great working order with no issues what so ever. However this evening I realised it was out of battery, so I went to charge it and nothing. No light up, no recognition of it being plugged into the PC or when I try via a plug socket. I have contacted the seller about this asking for a refund as I have not done anything or put it anywhere that it would die like this. However I thought before I try to send it back I would try here and see if anybody knows what may be wrong with it.
    Thanks

    You need a new battery.

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.
