Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

HT1369 my iPod nano 4th generation is not recognized by iTunes.
I have always used iTunes with this iPod. I have Christmas music on it and I want some other music. This is only used for music on the Bose. It worked before Christmas but there has been updates to iTunes since then so don't know if thats the problem.
I have googled it and have tried everything that is mentioned but it still is not recognized. It shows up as a drive in my computer but on the devices for iTunes it isn't there.iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

Ipod nano 1st gen is not recognized in itunes 10
I updated my computer system to leopard 10.5.8 as well as the latest itunes 10. I bought a new ipod nano 6th gen, and it syncs and works fine. The problem I have is my old Ipod. It is detected by my power mac on the desktop only the icon it has is a folder, and when I open it is in blank. I open Itunes 10 and it doesn't appear. And I tried to follow the instructions on apple support, tried all ports, tried reseting the ipod, and it is still not showing up on itunes. Can someone help me with this please?
Also, a white line showed up on the screen, does that mean the screen is broken? I can still see everything going on normally on the ipod but not where the line comes up (middle of the screen).

hi my ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on what should i do ...no batery left and never pluged it into itunes
Hi meganisawsome,
If your iPod will not turn on and you are getting indicators that there is no battery left, the first step would be to make sure that the iPod has been charged correctly. You may find the following article useful:

If you are still having issues after charging, you may want to look at this article:

My ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on.
My iPod nano (6th generation) will not turn on. I have charged it (attached to my computer) for 30 minutes. I have tried to reset it (held down Wake and Volume Down for 8 seconds)- no response. I have factory restored it (through iTunes)- no response. It shows up as connected to my computer and will sync in iTunes, but the display on the iPod will not turn on. Any ideas?
Hey s.mccarter2010,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have tried a lot of things and the iPod still will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPod won't turn on
If you have tried the solutions above and iPod still won't turn on, check the following:
Make sure iPod is the only device in your FireWire or USB chain. Disconnect everything but the mouse, keyboard, and your iPod, then see if it will turn on.
Make sure you are using the FireWire or USB cable that came with your iPod, and that the cable is in good condition.
Try connecting iPod to the built-in port of a different computer to see if that works. Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged in to a power source and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed the computer may go into either standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPod will not charge properly.
If you still can't turn iPod on after performing these steps, it may need to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

It has a list of instructions as to how to fix it and I followed them until it said to load the driver for the device from a disk.
I have no such disk nor do I know of one.
My computer said the driver is present but there is a problem installing it.
Does anyone know of what disk they are talking about?iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

IPod nano (7th generation) will not restore in iTunes
Recently, I've been havng issues syncing my iPod nano (7th generation). I thought the most logical way to fix this is to restore it. When I click "Restore" everything is fine till it gets to "Extracting Software" then it says "The iPod "Alex's iPod nano" can not be restored because it is in use with another application." I do have warranty. Should I take it to the Apple Store?
Is the Enable Disk Use option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, disable it and then try restoring again.
Sometimes simply rebooting the iPod and Mac can resolve the issue. To reset the Nano, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

No app on the iOS device is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

My iPod touch 4th generation turns off by itself. How can I fix this?
My iPod Touch 4th generation turns off my itself. How can I fix this? This is not the first time this has happened. I usually hold down the home button and the power button at the same time for a few seconds and it'll turn back on but this time that won't work. What should I do?
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod On...
If that does not help... See Here:

When using Front row (which I think is pretty cool) with iTunes and airport express, the remote only controls the Macs volume, not the itunes volume. This means that you can't use the remote to adjust your stereo volume! Surely this must be a bug as
