Ipod nano 7th generation on mac will not sync or charge

Nano worked fine for about 6 months, now it will not charge or sync whether on the Mac or in an outlet. System does not recognize it,  Reset it , rebooted system, disconnected other devices to avoid hardware conflict. Nothin. Seems like the pod itself is having problems. Plays and moves through the windows ok but running out of juice and can not connect to charge and sync. Any ideas?

Do one ore more of the following:
> Restart You Computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset your Device (won't delete anything)
> Go to My Computer (Windows XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your computer reconizes your iPod.

  • Computer doesn't recoginize iPod nano 7th Generation and it will not power on

    My iPod Nano 7th Generation was working I plug it inot the computer and computer would not recoginize it and now it will not power up.

    Try:
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - 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 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.

  • 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.

  • My Ipod nano 7th generation will not sync.

    My Ipod nano 7th generation will not sync, I have updated itunes very recently. Everytime I try to sync anything, playlists, music, podcasts, or even photos from my computer, It does not sync. However before It syncs it tells me that I need to authorize my computer so that I can play purchased songs, so I log in with my apple ID and it says that the computer is now authorized but then when I press the sync button again the same message pops up over and over. Can anybody fix this?

    Hello stowie10,
    I would make sure that music is checked to sync, or any other data at that. Check out the following article to get the squared way with this setup.

  • 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!
