Ipod Nano 6th Gen not connecting

Everytime i plug my ipod into my computer, it never connects with itunes, and also does not charge. Any help?

So it sounds like *nothing* happens when you connect it.
I would make sure your cable is good. Also look at the plug on the Nano and make sure there are not any bent pins or debris in there.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen. is connected to my MacBook.  I have an audio book on the MacBook in Itunes, and cannot load it into the Ipod.  What am I doing wrong?

    My ipod nano 6th gen. is connected to my MacBook.  I have an audio book on the MacBook in Itunes, and cannot load it into the Ipod.  What am I doing wrong?

    Is this audiobook configured to sync to your iPod via it's Books configuration pane in iTunes?  Click on your iPod's device name under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the Summary tab.  Look for the Books tab along the top and click on it.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized by itunes

    I recently updated my version of itunes and now whenever I plug in my ipod nano 6th gen an error message pops up saying it doesn't recognize my ipod. Why odes this even happen?

    For anyone else having this problem, I found this solution to work. Try this first:
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
    d)If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    f) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

  • Ipod Nano 6th gen not syncing mp3s after itunes 11.1.4.62 update

    As the title says, after updating itunes to the 11.1.4.62 update, and everything that doing that successfully involved such as completely uninstalling all Apple software and then reinstalling itunes, my ipod nano 6th gen will not allow itunes to sync any mp3 files to it. The only way to get any new files onto it is to let the ipod convert them into AAC files when you transfer, even though all other music files on the ipod are, and have always been, mp3 files. Everything worked fine before the latest itunes update, I could sync mp3 files to the ipod nano with no problems.
    Anyone know of a solution to this issue, or whether Apple are working on a solution for this obviously botched itunes update?
    Thanks in advance.

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen not syncing and prompted to re-install iTunes

    my iPod Nano 6th Gen connects on my computer but not recognized by iTunes. I have already tried reinstalling the software as prompted by it but nothing happens

    iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.
    You can send feedback on the upgrade here:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I'm hoping enough legacy iPod users will speak up that they'll rethink and/or fix it.

  • My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

    I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
    I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
    I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
    Thanks

    I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
    I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
    I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized in itunes

    I recently purchased a used "AS IS" ipod nano 6th gen. The only problem with it is that it's not recognized by iTunes. I was fairly sure on purchasing it that solving this would be as simple as resetting it, or, at worst, figure it out by googling the problem. The method involving holding down the sleep/wake button and volume down for 8 seconds until the apple logo appears didn't help. Putting it in disk mode didn't help. I have a mac and I suspect the original owner of the ipod may have used windows, so I tried both of these things again with my dad's PC. I at least got some response--an error message saying the usb device couldn't be read or something of that sort (I can look up the exact message again tomorrow if it's relevant).
    I don't think it's the USB plug or cord, because both of these work with my iphone and another ipod nano in the household. I don't think it's itunes either, for the same reason. I'm running Lion, fully up-to-date, on a Macbook Pro. ITunes is also fully up-to-date.
    I wouldn't be devastated if I can't fix it, since it still charges and plays music (the previous owner's hip-hop/club type music works pretty well for workouts), and it's probably not worth it to me to pay Apple to repair it. But…if anyone has any suggestions for things I can try to get it totally working, I'd love to hear them!

    solved it :-)
    Apparently it's not enough to reinstall iTunes itself, but all mobile device software should be uninstalled, then your pc has to be rebooted and then iTunes has to be installed again.

  • IPod Nano 1st Gen not connecting to my computer

    My friend's iPod Nano 1st Gen won't connect to my computer (i have previsily added songs to it since last month) and now my iTunes won't show that ipod on my devices lists (I did NOT update iTunes because of the problems other people were getting)..... it will charge on my computer but WON'T sync....... WHATS UP WITH THAT???
    THANKS IN ADVANCE TO THOSE THAT HELP.

    Could be any number of reasons.  One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes.  Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!

  • Ipod Nano 6th gen not charging at all

    I have an Ipod Nano 7th Gen whichn was bought in Nov 2012 for my daughter.  the problem is that when I connect the Ipod to the computer to charge all of a sudden it is just not working at all.  And gives the error (USB Device not recoginesed) 'One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.'  Can some one please help 

    Ok thanks all but got the remedy from a guy that had the same problem on the IPad.  All one has to do is to press the power button and the home butoon together for 10sec and it will reset the Ipod

  • Ipod nano 6th gen. not syncing with itunes match

    After the new itunes 11 release I cannot sync my Ipod nano 6th generation with Itunes match without downloading all the songs I want to copy to my ipod to the computer first.
    It is a little compersome to download 8Gb to my mac just for syncing and after sync delete them from my computer so that I just stream it again (airbook simply does not have enough space)

    iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.

  • IPod Nano 6th gen not syncing despite reset

    My Dad's iPod Nano 6th generation is not syncing with iTunes. He used it first with iTunes on a MacMini G4 and – with later versions of iTunes – ran into trouble while syncing. Now he owns a Mac Mini mid 2010 with a brand new installation of Mavericks on an erased and reformatted harddrive.
    Software's all up-to-date but the iPod still does not sync. It's being recognized and being found spotless by the harddrive tool. iTunes will just show it in the sidebar with no further info on the content of the iPod being displayed except the colored bar at the bottom indicating 430+ songs on the thing. No copying manually is working.
    Switching syncing options to manual and back do not help either, nor does a restart (of either iTunes or the Mac).
    I have reset the iPod but the result in iTunes is now that there is a welcome screen with button «more». As soon as I click that the iPod disappears from the sidebar – with no further action or option.
    I'd be glad to get any help here!

    Figured out the solution: I quit iTunes, dragged the "com.apple.iTunes.plist" file (located in Library –> Preferences) to the desktop and reopened iTunes. After confirming the t&c pop-up I plugged in the iPod and it's window appeared again in full, letting me sync contents once again.
