Ipod nano 7th - Generation "not accessible"

I use the ipod in three ways, 1. listening through apple ear pieces, 2. through USB x Lightning cord to music players in both our vehicles, and 3. through a 30 pin x lightning adapter to an Eton music player.  Today #1 works, #2 works, #3 reads not accessible.  Last use of #3 four days ago.  Checked manual did not find "not accessible" phrase in trouble shooting chaper.  The reset, restart suggestions don't seem applicable when the unit obviously works.  What's your suggestion?
First time user of the support community.  Do I just check back for responses?  Realize that is my only option, but did not see a statement to help set my expectations.

  • Ipod Nano 7th generation not recognized by computer or iTunes

    Neither my computer nor ITunes recognizes my Ipod nano 7th generation. It was working fine until I ran an intensive AVG PC tuneup on the laptop. Device manager recognizes the Ipod and says it is working correctly. I have done all suggested troubleshooting and nothing has yet worked. Additional suggestions or info I should provide?

  • IPod Nano 7th Generation Not Being Recognized?

    I've downloaded the latest version of iTunes 11 which is titled, "iTunes 11.0.1," last night and it hasn't been recognizing my iPod Nano 7th Generation. Anybody having this problem?

  • Ipod Nano 7th Generation - Not Charging / Error Msg From Comp 'Attached Device Malfunctioned'

    My IPod Nano 7th gen arrived last night.  I was able to turn it on and select language 'english'  When I connected it to my computer it did not recognize my iPod, so it also did not show up in iTunes,  Error message: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned.  and Windows does not recognize it." 
    My Nano turned off and went blank.   I have tried to reset it.  Nothing works, just blank.
    No charge icon, I have tried all USB ports on my comp, but nothing works- (but my USB ports work fine)  I have read that if my iPod has not been charged fully, the computer my not recognize it.
    I am now using an adapter and trying to charge it thru the wall power socket.  It has been connected for half an hour.  Still cannot turn iPod on.
    I have Windows 7 running on comp.  Itunes is current version 10.7.  I have rebooted my comp several times and re-installed iTunes.
    I have an iPhone and an iPod shuffle that are both synced with iTunes on this comp, they work fine.
    Is my iPod broken?  Do I send it back?  Anyone else having the same problems?  Please Help !!

    I had this problem as well.  I have a PC running Windows 7. I have installed the latest iTunes 10.7 software (64 bit). I reset the nano by holding down the start and home button for 10 seconds.  Then - I plugged it into a PC running Windows XP and was able to format the iPod. Ejected it and plugged it into my Windows 7 computer and then the computer recognized it and I was able to load it. There is some problem with iTunes 7 on Windows 7.

  • Ipod nano 7th Generation not connecting to itunes

    I bought my Ipod nano in January of this year, and have been using the same computer and operating system to access Itunes since I brought it home.
    As of this month, whenever I try to connect my Ipod to Itunes to sync my music, it states a message consisting of "An Ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly." I had updated the version of Itunes, so with the research I did in the forums, I uninstalled Itunes, reinstalled, and restarted my computer. I then connected my Ipod and it connected. Hooray. While syncing music, it then popped up a message saying that the music files I was trying to sync were not compatible with my Ipod. I checked the file type; AAC. I disconnected my Ipod, reconnected, and it displayed the first message yet again.
    I have used this computer and many of the music files on my previous Ipod nano 5th gen before I purchased my new one, and everything worked perfectly.
    I haven't found any other forums that really address this issue, so any help is appreciated.

  • Why isn't my iPod Nano (7th Generation) not coming up on my itunes, but on my desktop?

    My iPod usually is recognised on my iTunes, but for some reason isn't. My iPhone is being recognised, so i think it's my iPod thats the problem.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation usb problem

    New iPod nano 7th generation not being recognized when USB plugged in. Not showing a new device or anything.  Have uninstalled/installed iTunes7.  USBs working with other devices including iPhone4S.  Using Windows 7 Home version with all updates.  Have rebooted several times.  No other USB devices plugged in while connecting new nano.  Tried on another machine with Windows 7 Professional with same results - not working.  Any suggestions?  What am I missing?  Any new drivers for 7th generation?  Did see OS 1.01 already available for nano, but cannot download until PC and iTunes recognize the device.  Thanks.

    I figured out the problem.  Very simple, but overlooked at first.  It was the cable that came with the iPod nano.  I plugged it into an outlet using my iPhone cube charger, then connected my nano.  It would not recharge the nano.  Went to the Apple store and exchanged it for one that charged the nano while there.  When i plugged the new one into the PC it recognized the nano, opened iTunes and walked me thru the usual setup.  Synced with no problems.
    So check your cord.

  • I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

  • My iPod Nano 7th generation is not detected in Itunes

    Hey there,
    I have a iPod Nano 7th generation and I'm working with a Windows 7 64-bit version.
    So when I got my iPod, I installed iTunes and everything went very well..
    but today I tried to sync my iPod and it is not even detected from my iTunes or my computer.
    I had the error -42110, but I found the solution on here, but it didn't work either.
    I went through a lot of questions on here, but I couldn't find any solution for my problem
    Has anyone got any idea?

    well actually I did connect my iPod 3 days later or so to my charger, because a friend of mine asked me if I'm sure that the cable is not broken. So I connected it and it charged, when I thought "Well let's try on the computer again". I plugged it in and it was detected again.. so uhm I don't really know why it did not worked the last times.
    So maybe try to restart your computer and turn off an on again the device and try it later on again.. maybe it will work then:)
    I'm sorry I can't help more!

  • IPod Nano 7th Generation will not turn on

    My 10 month old iPod Nano 7th Generation will not turn on - all of a sudden.
    All songs on the device have disappeared.
    Shows in iTunes - even shows as having a fully charged battery.
    Holding Home Button and Sleep/Wake button down, even for a long time, doesn't help.
    Have changed USB ports, from computer to AC powered USB charging station.
    Help?

    Just saw elsewhere on the forum to press and hold the power and home buttons and it fixxed it for me
