I upgrated iTunes and now my 3G iPod Nano won't get picked up

I believe the iTunes upgrade errased a file of the older version which allowed my laptop recognising my iPod.
How can I determine which file is this??
How can I get it back??
I've tried to find it and download it for the Apple website, but I haven't been able to find the link (if there is any).
I've also tried uninstalling iTunes and installing previous versions but it won't work.
My laptop doesn't read the iPod anymore.
Can anyone please help me?

    i was up dateing my itunes and now  on my ipod touch screen its says itunes and a picture of the lead what do i have to do

    Having finally managed to update itunes to the current version in order to sort the lock screen of itunes ;logo and usb lead, i find that i dont have on the left side of itunes lists,  the DEVICES heading for me to click on in order to back up/restore etc..... How do i access this..?   I seem to be going around in circles and getting nowhere fast.
    Is there any logical reason why the "devices" catogory wouldnt be showing..? or is there any way i can proceed manually without access to this...? HELP..... PLEASE.. THANKS......

  • I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I updated iTunes and now my 6th generation nano can't be properly recognized now.

    I recently updated my iTunes after holding off for a bit and now my 6th generation Nano wn't be recognized in iTunes but is recognized on the computer.
    The message I get is this "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again."
    I did this and still get the same message.
    I found this article on the apple website http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218 which specifically deals with this problem. I went through all the steps including uininstalling and installing iTunes and still nothing.
    I called apple but they told me I need to buy some 20 dollar phone help plan in order to even talk to anyone since I bought it back in 2010. I won't be doing this.
    Can someone plase help me!!

    Try resetting the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • TS1425 I have the updated version of iTunes and a brand new iPod Nano 3rd Gen. It will not sync and is not recognized by iTunes.  What's wrong

    Just received new iPod Nano 3rd Generation 4GB today. Have new notebook computer for 3 months with latest version of iTunes.  New iPod Nano is not recognized by iTunes and cannot do a darn thing with it.  All I want is my music.  What is the problem and how do I fix it?

  • Can I download a free exercise video to my computer (not from Itunes)and then  to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv, and if so how?

    Can I download a free exercie video (not from Itunes) to my computer, then to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv?

    If you have a compatible video file, you can add it to your iTunes library by dragging it to the iTunes window, or by using the command
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
    If the video is in a format that iTunes can play, it should be imported and appear as a new item in the iTunes Movies library.
    It may not be playable on the nano directly, because of its format.  For example, if it's "HD," the resolution is too high for a nano's screen.  If it plays in iTunes, but not on the nano, you can use the command to covert it. Select the item in a list and then
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
    That version should play on an iPod nano.  NOTE:  Some videos downloaded from the iTunes Store cannot be converted to a lower resolution format, because they have DRM (copy protection).

  • Ipod Nano won't get to Main Screen.  Defunct Battery?

    i'm having the same problem with my ipod nano...I believe it went through the wash...bad mistake but everything seemed to working fine. It turned on and was working perfectly. A week goes by and it's time to charge the puppy up again. It goes through the charging cycle and like valrus it didn't work unless it was charged. Then after that i would charge it for what felt like a week and it started working on it's own again. It died early, and no i didn't do anything odd to it, but it just stopped working completely.
    I plug it in and all i get is the black screen white apple, and then it jumps to the quarter filled battery with a little lightningbolt jutting out fromthe left side. I can't get back to the original screen to access my music now!
    The frustrating thing was that it was working perfectly with no flaws, and probably a week or two after the washer mishap, did it start acting up...

    I have almost the same problem as you but only that between the apple logo and the battery, I get the sad Ipod Icon. I hope it is the battery and that it can be changed...

  • Changed MP3s in iTunes and now I have iPod playback issues...

    I have some really bad quality MP3s, so I've been going through my iTunes library and re-ripping CDs to higher quality. I want to keep my played and skipped data, so I've been deleting the existing MP3s and telling iTunes where to find the new ones so my data stays.
    After doing this, I sync my 5th gen and the new MP3s are copied over. When I play the new MP3s on the iPod, only the MP3s that I've changed, will get to around the last minute of a song, then skip to the last second, and hang with one second left until I change the song. When I play the same songs in iTunes they play just fine from start to finish. This is ONLY happening with the MP3s that I've changed.
    I was thinking maybe it's a sync issue, so I did a restore on the iPod and still have the issue.
    As a test, in iTunes I deleted one of the albums I was having an issue with and re-imported it. After syncing my iPod, the album plays just fine without any issues.
    Is there any way I can resolve this besides removing and re-adding them to iTunes? I'd really like to keep all my played/skipped/date added data.

    John,
    In iTunes, when you manually replace the file for an existing library entry, iTunes is supposed to pick up all the tag information, etc, for the new file. However, you can get some subtle and (to me) inexplicable effects that seem to be due to iTunes retaining some partial "memory" of the old file that will then cause unexpected behavior. I have now learned to avoid it by starting a new library entry.
    As you note, this does mean losing play counts.

  • Please Help.  Installed iTunes 7 and now my 4G iPod & Shuffle won't sync !

    And please don't refer me to the basic "uninstall/re-install" crap. It doesn't work. Have any other windows users experienced this?
    Oh and also the "find album art" doesn't work and I can't turn the "shared" stuff off. I go to preferences and de-select everything on sharing, then lo and behold it automatically puts the check mark right back in!
    However the last 2 problems pale in comparison to not being able to sync my 4G or Shuffle!
