  • HT1329 Trying to transfer playlist from iPod nano (gen4) to a new windows computer with iTunes.

    We are trying to connect a iPod Nano (gen4) to a new Win7 computer.  The iPod doesn't show up on iTunes and the message says that it can't be synched to a another computer.  There are more playlist on the iPod that are not on the computer.  How do I connect this iPod to the new Win7 box and transfer the playlist to iTunes.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Ipod nano 6th generation wont connect to computer or itunes, but still charges

    I have an Ipod nano 6 that will not connect to my computer. It still charges however. I tried a new cord. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I reset my computer and the ipod. I looked to see if it was a problem with my usb drivers and the ipod did not show up. I have basically tried everything but restoring it. Any help is greatly appreciated

  • IPod nano charges but is not recognized

    Good morning.
    Im writing this topic, because I saw all the topics about this same problem, and none of them solved mine. I hope you can help me on this, so here is the thing:
    When I connect my iPod to the 2.0 usb port, the ipod lights its screen, charges, but neither windows or iTunes recognizes it.
    Ive tried going to:
    1. Going to control painel
    2. Double clicking System icon
    3. Hardware < Manager of Dispositives < Universal USB thing
    When Im there, I disabled the options at USB ROOT HUB on "Computer can turn it of dispositive to minimize waste of energy", as I have read on the other article to do, but it didnt help.
    Here is something that Ive tried everything to understand, but I cant: In the same place (Hardware - System - Control Painel), when the iPod is connected at the computer, my ipod appears on that list! But it comes with an Exclamation Point right next to its name, and it says that it needs an software to make it useful.
    The real message is:
    The drivers for this dispositive are not installed.(Code 28)
    To reinstall the drivers of this dispositive, click at 'Reinstall Driver'.
    Doesnt iTunes install it or whatever? What can I do to get my iPod recognized by the iTunes and computer, and then sync my songs?
    Please, I need someone's help!
    Thanks a lot,
    Andre.
    Ps:. 1. iPod nano, 1st generation, 2gb.
    2. Windows XP.

    Did you ever find a solution for your problem. It is exactly the same as mine and I'm so frustrated with all the problems after spending so much money for something that is supposed to be fun.
    I too have done everything suggested and still no answer. My computer will not install the driver or recognize the ipod exists.
    If you did find an answer, please email me with anything you think may help.
    Thanks

  • New ipod nano 4gen doesn't connect to computer, or itunes!!!

    i just got a new ipod and when i connected it my computer said new software connected, and had "install" or "install later". i clicked install and it said software for download could not be found.
    i thought because it wasn't fully charged yet, so i let it charge.
    i disconnected it and tried again, the same thing happened.
    i then went to "my computer" and it didn't show up there either. then i went to itunes and there it didn't say anything.
    my sister has the older ipod nano and i used the same cord and it connected. so its not the cord, or itunes because hers shows up.
    i then went to my aunts house and tried to install it there. it actually did show up on her computer, but it didn't fully register because her itunes won't connect to her internet access.
    I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO NOW! PLEASE HELP ME!

    Same problem. Mine just flashes the Apple logo when connected. I've tried all the suggested methods that you have aswell. NO warranty, what now? Any luck with you?

  • 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.

  • Ipod Nano does not appear in "My Computer" and "Itunes"

    I was charging my Ipod Nano. I erased all the songs from the nano to create a new playlist. The Ipod froze in the "Do not disconnect" phase. It was disconnected a few hours later (not intentionally). Now it has disappeared from Itunes and the computer does not recognize it. The Ipod screen still says "Do not Disconnect". I have tried to reconnect the device many times. I have tried to "toggle the hold button" and even shut the computer down and restarted it to see if it would recognize the ipod. No luck. I cannot turn the ipod on and the screen is still dark and the "Do Not Disconnect" seems to be perminant. HELP!

  • Ipod will charge, but is not found

    Hello, I have had my Ipod Mini since march of this year(2005) and it has been working great up until about a few months ago. My Ipod will charge but is not recognized on the computer, and I have tried it in every one of my USB 2.0 slots(10 of them).
    When it is recognized sometimes it will update the songs onto my Ipod and then it will just disappear from my computer, like its not connected, but it will still charge. What I want is for when I open "My Computer" it will show that a Ipod is connected and I can open if from there. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be welcomed. And yes, I have tried every one of the support things on the site and in my Ipod booklet.

    Ive restarted my computer many times and its still the same, it only works about 15% fo the time, and when it does rihgt when it finishes updating it will act like its not there anymore.
