Ipod nano doesn't appear in my itune library???

my friend recent purchase ipod nano and wanted me to sync some songs from my computer!!! the problem is that when i connect the the ipod nano into my computer, it doesnt appear in my itunes! but when i connect my ipod 80g it does!!??? so can someone please help me!

Once again the same recommendation I have give for several users, go to windows update or microsoft update http://update.microsoft.com and download the latest service pack (SP 2) for windows xp, also check to have the latest itunes version, you may need to fully unistall previous versions of itunes before, may be your dad's computer have the service pack installed, you can check on right-clicking on My PC icon on the Star menu, go to propeties and if the shown window says Microsoft Windows XP Version bla bla bla, Service Pack 1 or 2 then your system is ready for itunes + ipod, if not, that may be the problem. Upgrade then!. Also try to connect to an other usb port that has high voltage, some hubs or keyboard connections don't have it, you may need to connect it directly to the usb port on the rear of the pc. Hope it helps.

  • My Ipod nano doesn't show up in itunes and in finder just like an extern unit. What has happened??

    Just like above. The history is
    An old ipod (4, 5th generation)
    A few months ago my friend tried to sync it to her windows computer and had to erase all music (it's been compatible to mac always before) but then she could't put in any new music either.

    i don't know how to fix this, please help me!

    Hello Solverlona,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iPod Nano is not recognized correctly in iTunes, but is recognized in Finder but seems to be seen as a storage device.
    First, I would start with the iPod 5rs for your model iPod Nano
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    I would next try the steps outlined in this Troubleshooting Assistant if the above steps do not fix the issue:

    Hey there rondulecki,
    It sounds like you are unable to sync your device to iTunes because the device could not be recognized properly. I do not know if this is the guide you are referring to, but I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening named:

  • IPod nano does NOT appear on Desktop or iTunes

    My mac gave me a message saying Itunes, and quicktime need to updated. I did so and my mac restarted. Afterwards my iPod Nano no longer appears on my desktop or in iTunes. (Actually my nano only appears when iTunes is closed.
    When I remove my iPod Nano then there is a message saying a device was removed improperly.
    I also have a 30 GB iPod. It will appear on the desktop and in iTunes. My iPod 8 GB Nano will not appear on my G5 ( I have two. One is running 10.5.2 and the other is running 10.4.11. Both with iTunes 7.6. The problem appears to be centered around 8 GB iPod Nano.
    I also plugged my ipod nano into firewire that plugs into an adapter that plugs into electric socket. AND still no response from my iPod Nano.
    Please advise........................

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • IPod nano 5th Gen appears in Finder but not iTunes

    I am trying to restore my 5th Generation iPod Nano, but it will not show up in iTunes 12.0.1.26. It does however appear in Finder as a disk image allowing me to access certain directories, like Calendars, Contacts, DCIM, Notes, and Recordings. I've tried resetting the iPod, putting it in Disk Mode, etc. I've gone through all the support. I've tried using iExplorer. Does anyone know anything else I can try?

    Hi jthias,

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod nano does not appear in itunes

    My 7th generation iPod nano does not appear in iTunes on a Windows 8 PC since installing the 11.1.4.62 update.  I have now tried every step from the recommended KB:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363 with no relief.  Windows sees the iPod just fine...

    Same problem. Also Windows 8... There is no problem at all with a Windows 7 computer.

  • IPod nano (4th gen) not recognized by iTunes 11.1.3

    I have an iPod nano (4th gen). After upgarding iTunes to v 11.1.3 (MacBook Pro) I get the follwoing message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.
    Unfortunately, I restored to factory settings, which erased everything, but each time I connect the iPod I get the same message.
    It must be an issue with compatibility because I get the same message with my wife's iPod (same gen), but hers syncs just fine on her iTunes (v 10), and I get the same message using two different USB cables.
    So now my iPod is essentially empty (factory settings) and as good as a paperweight unless there is a way to get iTunes to recognize and sync. If I could get past the error message, I suspect it would be easy to sync automatically or manually.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi JMfromMN,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your iPod isn't recognized by your computer, this article may help:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Since your wife's iPod displays the same behavior omn your computer, it sounds like the troubleshooting for the iPod itself (which you've largely already done anyway) can be skipped.
