Ipod nano 4gb not showing in itunes or recognized as device

Out of the blue my nano is not detected as a device with my Windows XP. First I tested my USB port to see if that was the issue. I connected a mouse which was recognized and worked fine. I then got another sync cord thinking maybe my cord went bad and that is not working either. When I used my old cord I received an error message that I exceeded the power limit on my hub port. Which is why I thought my cord was bad. With the second cord I get no such errow however the ipod is charging but doing nothing else. I've gone out to my device list to see if there were any visible errors or anything diabled and its not showing any. But its also not showing an ipod or mass hub device like it normally would. Any thoughts on the issue would be greatly appreciated!

My ipod is doing the same thing. could you please tell me how you fixed it?

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

    So, your iPhone (and new shuffle) still work properly with iTunes, correct? 
    Your 1st gen shuffle... It's the white one with USB plug, that looks like a USB flash drive...?
    Are you able to see it in Windows, and maybe change the drive letter back to E:?

    Did you try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Next try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • Ipod nano does not appear in itunes

    My 7th generation iPod nano does not appear in iTunes on a Windows 8 PC since installing the 11.1.4.62 update.  I have now tried every step from the recommended KB:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363 with no relief.  Windows sees the iPod just fine...

  • My ipod nano will not show any music on it after syncing or manuallly adding it, but the information still takes up space in ipod

    I have tried to put music on my ipod nano 3rd gen both manually and syncing it, but it never shows up after I eject my nano. The songs I put on will take up space, but the ipod says no songs. I have restored it multiple times and nothing has helped.

    Hey there Eduardo_09,
    It sounds like your iPod Nano is not appearing in either Windows, or iTunes on your computer. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help isolate and resolve the issue:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    Here is step 1 to get you started, but there are additional steps within if needed:
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
