My fifth generation ipod nano wont show up on itunes... please help!

I've had my fifth generation ipod nano for about five months now. Nothing has gone wrong with it. the ipod would show up on itunes with no problem. But today i plugged it in to my computer, itunes popped up as usual, but then another pop up came:an ipod has been detected but could not be itentified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod, then try again.
I unplugged and plugged my ipod several times, but nothing was fixed. I even changed the cable and did the same, but still, nothing happened. I tried resetting my ipod and then plugging it in, but nothing was fixed. then i put the ipod on disk mode and THEN tried to see if it would show up, but it still wasnt fixed.
I really need my ipod to show up on itunes!can anyone help?

Canned response, so some of the below stuff you already tried, so ignore those ones...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

<Edited by Host>

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your iPod's serial number address from your post.
Only you can activate your iPod by typing in your id and password, or you can remove a device from your account via http://icloud.com . If you can't remember your account id then do you have any of its downloads on your computer's iTunes : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ? If not then you could try http://iforgot.apple.com . You can also reset your password via the 'iforgot' site, or you can contact Support in your country and they should be able to reset your password (as long as you can prove your id and that it's your account) : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
iOS 7 and activation lock : iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
What if I forget my Apple ID password?
If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.

I recently uninstalled itunes to fix other computer issues. I was told I was able to reinstall and through my apple account could retrieve all my music.. I just don't know how. Can someone please help me? Thanks

I recently uninstalled itunes to work on other computer issues. I was told I would be able to reinstall itunes, and through my apple account retrieve all of my music. I just don't know how to do that. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

okay, I figured it out. But for anyone else with this same issue. Open up your itunes. On the panel, on the left hand side, click downloads. It won't show your old stuff, but on the botttom right hand side, there will be a button you can left click that reads "download previously purchased" and everything shows. You just select all and confirm download. YAY! Glad I got my music back :-) Hope this helps

IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes...Please Help

Here is what I know/can remember. My iPod has not worked in 3 months! Not sure at what point it stopped but it worked fine for a year. Now when I plug it in it charges just fine just will not show up in iTunes. Sometimes it shows up as an unknown device on my computer and in the hardware device section shows up as unknown device. Thats all I got. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting. I have took each little peice off and then reinstalled numerous times. I have even restored my computer back to square one. Still not working! I want to cry. I just want to listen to my podcasts again. They are downloading into Itunes just can't get the Ipod Touch to show up in iTunes...willing to try anything! Please help if you can! I have a 16GB and use XP with SP3. I assume all my hardware is good to go since it worked before and it charges through the USB port!

Welcome to the discussions,
here are some general troubleshooting tips to go through, maybe you missed one suggestion. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 They range from using the assistant up to USB driver installation, Apple Mobile Device Service and checking for available BIOS updates.

Im having difficultie downloading Itunes 10 to my Windows 8 OS on an HP laptop computer can someone please help me. Thank you in advance.

I am attempting to download ITunes on my new computer which is Windows 8 OS. Unfortunately I continue to get an error indicating that the app could not be downloaded, another time it was only partially downloaded, I turned off the firewall and that still didn't help. Can someone please help me. My IPhone OS also needs to be updated. I could really use some of the communities expertise in this matter. Thank you in advance.

iTunes 10 is not the current version.
Download and install the current version which is iTunes 11. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

4thGen iPod isn't showing up in iTunes

I have a classroom set of iPod 4th gen that I am trying to update using a different MacBook than I had used previously. I am logged into my iTunes account for the ipods but the ipods do not show up on the computer. Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

See:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Note that you can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. So if you update on a different computer the iPod is erased and replaced with the media in the iTunes library of the new computer.

My iPod isn't showing up in iTunes

I have a Second Generation iPod touch ( I know its old but a broke college student can't be picky) and it doesn't show up in iTunes anymore. I just bought some new music and now I can't import it to my iPod. Is my iPod no longer supported in iTunes because of its age or am I doing something wrong?

Hi ..
The second generation iPod touch cannot be updated beyond 4.2.1.
Instead of importing from iTunes, you can re download purchase for free right on the iPod > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hi guyz just fixed mine just now, I used an app named iREB please refer to the below link. Make sure youre iphone is plugged in to your USB then launch the app as admin. As soon as the app is running go to the "Recovery Mode Loop Fixer" tab & hit the "Set Auto-Boot True (Fixes 1015 errors / Recovery Loops). It will restart your iPhone in just a moment & get you back to your homescreen.
I hope this will help those whos undergoing this horrifying iPhone problem.
Just additional info.

Ipod not recognized by computer or itunes.!please help..been trying all day

i did 4 of the 5 R's because when i tried to restore my ipod the ipod updater 2006-03-23 wont even update because it thinks my ipod isnt plugged in. what can i do.

I have a very simular issue. I had my 5G iPod replaced by apple and i'm very scared it may happen again. I had the 5G for 2 weeks when iTunes would take a long time to recognize it. XP MCE 2205 will recognize it immediately, but iTunes does not start automatically nor does it recognize it if i start it. Then, i got that folder with exclamation icon, this is the reason they replaced it. I got the new one today, and connected it to my USB 2.0 port as i did before. Has been working fine. All of the sudden, iTunes is not recognizing it again. Restarted the computer and then iTunes decided to recognize it, and then iTunes locked up. I waited, then i got the "long write failed" error in windows. That scared me. I had to kill iTunes. Restarted my computer while removing the 5G from the USB. Once the computer was logged on, i connected the 5G to the onboard USB1.1 and... so far so good. The USB2.0 is a 4 port PCI card. ???? Does that have anything to do with my problems? Maybe not!

I have upgraded to io6 and can no longer play gnomevillage. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

Quark XPress 8 has a few of those PPC only tools, too. Like they they forgot to update them or something.
They were already at v9 when Lion came out and decided that official support would be for v9 only; see here.
According to this, the only thing PPC in v9 and v8 are video encoding for SWF export -- looks like an XTension according to System Profiler. Given their position of not officially supporting v8.x in Lion, that will probably always remain broken in v8. I use v8.5.1 in Lion; works fine for me -- I don't do any SWF exporting.
I have a few other things on my MBP, recently upgraded to Lion; I upgraded just about every app to the latest versions with exception of Quark. The only other PPC things besied that XTension are some scripts from Adobe Illustrator CS5.1, which got installed with CS 5.5. I guess Adobe forgot to upgrade those. No biggie, I never use them.
