Hey Stan1958,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano and iTunes. Based on your symptoms, you may find the following resources helpful in resolving this issue:
Windows
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
Thanks,
Matt M.

How do I get my phone set back up and can i retrive everything that seems to be lost

Hello Hilda Louise
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.

Please can you help. I have an iPhone 4 which up until a month ago was working fine. Now all of a sudden I can't make calls on it. The phone will ring both ends but will not connect to each other. The speaker button is highlighted with no sound.

I can't really remember what I wrote in the heading but I am desperate for help. I have basically got a very expensive iPod. Calls will connect so the call ticker will go round but there isno sound from either side. Also the speakerphone button will be constantly pressed but still no sound. I have restored it many times, sent it back to apple but they could find no fault. I have done everything but with no joy. I just want to make phone calls!!!

A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":

Installed latest softward for my ipad 2 and now it want's me to connect to iTunes and restore to factory settings!? What do I do? I can't access the iPad2 other than a screen that shows a plug being inserted into the iTunes logo.

So I saw that my software needed to be updated, so I did it over wifi, then a picture with the plug being inserted into the iTunes logo appears on the screen when finished the install. I plug my iPad 2 into the connector and iTunes sees the iPad 2 connected. Then a window opens that says to restore to use iTunes. I click restore and a second message appears stating something to the effect "Are you sure you want to restore to factory setting all info will be lost."
NO I don't want to loose everything.
My iPad only powers on with the image of a cord pugging into the iTunes logo. I can't get past it and I don't want to restore the iPad 2 to factory settings.
What do I do?
Any help would be appreciated.

IPod 3rd Gen 30gb wont sync with iTunes, but works fine and shows up in windows explorer

Hi, My sister-in-laws ipod classic 3rd gen ipod is being wierd. Therres a few problems. First and foremost when we plug it into her windows XP laptop and open the latest version of itunes, which we uninstalled and reinstalled the message "The software required for this ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required software." which we allready did. I also did everything in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US but when i selected the usbappl file as the driver it didnt reconize it as a driver. I also ran itunes dianostics and restarted the apple mobile device service and fixed all other issues. The ipod shows up fine in the windows explorer any help is appreciated.

That is a 4th gen iPod, and it should work with a USB port (or a FireWire port).
If you have not done a standard Restore on the iPod using iTunes, you may want to do that next. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. So, if the cause is related to software (or data corruption), and there is no hardware issue, a Restore should fix it.
WARNING: The 4th gen iPod (when used on a USB port) will ask that you connect it to a USB power adapter as the last step in the Restore process. These white square power adapters originally came with this model. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, you will not be able to complete the Restore, and the iPod will become non-functional. So don't do it unless you have one. A third-party power adapter may or may not work for this purpose. The USB port on your computer does not work for this purpose.

Nano 6th gen unplugged during factory restore, now it won't appear on Source list and I can't access it again!

I need to delet all the songs off my Ipod 6th generation nano. I began a restore to factory settings but my ipod was unplugged. Now the songs are still ON the ipod and the ipod does not register with my computer. It is not available in the device list. I am selling the ipod and it needs to be shipped tomorrow so going in for service is NOT the answer.

Probably too late, but try connecting the Nano to iTunes to your PC in Disk Mode and then restoring it via iTunes again.

After Installing Lion I can not restore the latest iOS because I seems that I do not have the rights to do it

haven't you have problems trying to upgrade to iOS 4.3.5? I installed MAC OS 10.7 and now I'm receiving a message saying that I don't have the rights, however I can sync it without any problems.

Sorry to be so late getting back to you. My furnace died and I was a week without heat. Everything's ok now.
I was able to grab an old firefox from an external drive (thank God for backups!) and I used that along with the link that you sent me for older versions and I was able to download the version before the current update.
Thank you for your help.

Hi kumaradevan.g,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue syncing music to your iPod from a specific laptop. The article linked below provides a lot of great tips that can help resolve the syncing issue that you described.

I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time. Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them. Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.

If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
Maybe here:

Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work.

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.
