IPod nano 1st generation doesn't appear in iTunes vers. 9.02 - HELP

Since I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version 9.02, my iPod nano (1st generation) doesn't appear and I cannot synchronize it. Tried to change USB port, no result. Tried to uninstall iTunes and install earlier version 8.2 for Windows XP, but it won't open, saying that "the iTunes Library.itl cannot be read as it was created in a more recent iTunes version". What am I to do if I want to keep using my old nano?
Desperate Sapiapple

I am having a similar problem. Dusted off my daughters old nano to take to the beach. Tried setting it up on the old lap top I am taking with me and I could not get it working. After hours of diagnostics and troubleshooting matrixs it seems that I did not have drivers. Apple's troubleshooting says go to microsoft, MS's says go to apple for the drivers. Shows up as a faulted device. Did the updates to the USB drivers, etc. Put the player in disk mode (still would not recognize) My laptop says yes I have an I pod but it cant find the drivers to install it My other old laptop running old I Tune software seems to have no problem. I thought it was my problem I was wasting a
Sunday on, now I am thinking that this is a problem with this latest version of I tunes.

  • IPod nano 1st generation cannot be recognize by iTunes 11.1.3 on macbook

    i cannot get my itune recognize my ipod nano 1st generation.  And i can't sync it with ituen on my macbook.  Pls help

    Hello there, lycusfenriz.
    It can definitely be frustrating when your having trouble with multiple devices at the same time, but the steps in the article below may help with getting your iPod recognized in iTunes. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth recommendations for troubleshooting an iPod not being recognized in iTunes:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Connectivity/syncing
    Follow these steps if your computer doesn't recognize your iPod or you have issues with syncing your iPod.
    iPod not recognized by iTunes or computer
    Make sure you have installed the latest iTunes software from www.itunes.com/downloads. Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Your computer needs a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port to connect iPod nano. If you have a Windows PC that doesn't have a USB 2.0 port, in some cases you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card.
    If iPod nano is connected to a USB hub, try connecting iPod nano directly to your computer's USB port.
    iPod nano might need to be reset. Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If you're connecting iPod nano to a portable computer using the Lightning Cable, connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod nano.
    Check the cable connections. Disconnect the cable at both ends and make sure no foreign objects are in the USB ports. Then reconnect the cable.
    Try reinserting the Lightning connector into the iPod. The Lightning connector can be inserted either way.
    Try restarting your computer.
    If none of these steps resolves the issue, you might need to restore the iPod nano software.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • IPod nano (1st generation) no longer registers in iTunes

    iPod nano (1st generation...5 years old) no longer registers in iTunes.  Music is no longer a viewable option when connected to iTunes through Mac Pro.
    Is it just not supported anymore?

    Hmmmm...so they are recalling them.  Why not just include them in the "updates?"

  • Ipod classic 5th generation doesn't appear on Itunes

    When i connect my iPod to my computer it doesn't appear in my iTunes. I tried using disk mode and that doesn't work. I tried using developer mode and that didn't work. I re-install iTunes a few times and that didn't work. When I disconnected my iPod there was a notification and it said "USB device not recognized."
    When I connect my iPod to my computer I realized that it didn't have that screen (Do not disconnect) but my iPod does is charge my phone.
    Please help me!

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Windows recognizes ipod nano (1st generation) but itunes doesn't

    I'm a happy owner of ipod nano for about a year. My itunes and ipod nano was working perfectly until few days ago I encountered problems with both of them.
    I fixed my itunes (which kept showing an error message when I tried to uninstall/repair it) but after i got that fixed my itunes couldn't detect my ipod nano.
    I looked at a directions page in this website and it told me to "press start service" in something. (i forgot what that "something" was)
    Whenever I connect my ipod nano to my itunes, the ipod folder & error message about "ipod service module" pops up.
    I'm DESPERATE to fix this problem. So please answer my question and thank you. =]
    Ipod Nano (1st generation)   Windows XP  
    Ipod Nano (1st generation)   Windows XP  

    One of the services in Windows that has to be on is iPod Service. If that service doesn't stay started, iTunes won't see the iPod.
    Go into your services (administrative tools, services) and scroll down until you see it. If the service doesn't say started, right-click on it, choose start. In properties, it should show as automatic.
    While I know you already reinstalled iTunes, another reinstall of it might put the service back in the correct mode of starting whenever iTunes needs it.

  • What's the best way to replace iPod Nano 1st Generation?

    I have two iPod Nano 1st Generations. One from 2005 and one from 2006. The one from 2005 just works when it feels like it. Sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't. And the one from 2006 recently exploded when it was charging. A silver bag (I'm assuming the battery) expanded and ripped the iPod apart breaking the plastic around the scroller.
    Should I use that replacement program (I heard it didn't work for some) or can I just bring them to an Apple Store to replace them?

    See if either qualifes under the 1G Nano recall.

  • I have been given an iPod nano 1st generation and need to delete everything from it but do not know how to

    I have been given an iPod nano 1st generation I wish to completely wipe it clean and put new music into it. I cannot manage to do it any help would be great

    Hi Bevella,
    I understand that you were given a 1st generation iPod nano and you would like to completely erase it so you can start clean and sync your own music on to it. The process you want to run is called a restore. The following link is the iPod nano Features Guide that explains the restore process with steps. The restore section is on pages 50 and 51.
    iPod nano
    Features Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA101/en_US/iPod_nano_Features_Guide.pdf
    Updating and Restoring iPod Software
    You can use iPod Updater to update or restore your iPod software. Apple periodically updates iPod software to improve performance or add features. It is recommended that you update your iPod nano to use the latest software. You can also restore the software, which puts iPod nano back in its original state.
    If you choose to update, the software is updated, but your settings and songs are not affected.
    If you choose to restore, all data is erased from your iPod nano, including songs, files, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPod nano settings are restored to their original state.
    To update or restore iPod nano with the latest software:
    Go to www.apple.com/support/ipod and download the latest iPod Update. The update has the latest software for all models of iPod.
    Double-click the software installation file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the iPod update.
    Connect iPod nano to your computer and open iTunes. The iPod Updater application opens. If you’re using a Windows PC and the iPod Updater application doesn’t open automatically, you can find the updater by choosing Start > All Programs > iPod.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to update or restore iPod software.
    Thanks for reaching out,
    -Joe

  • Replacement program for the Ipod Nano 1st generation

    I am attempting to get to the replacement program for the Ipod Nano 1st generation, but whenever I attempt to access the program I am redirected to an adapter replacement program. Did I miss the opportunity to replace the Ipod?

    No, you didn't. I just bought an iPod nano 1st gen off of Craigslist and immediatly I went to the iPod replacement program website and requested a new device. I just don't know if I will receive the older 6th Generation or the newer 7th generation.
