Ipod nano drivers

Hi, I reset my computer to factory settings and now my Ipod Nano 4th Gen's drivers no longer exist. Does anyone know where I can re-download the drivers?

Install the current version of iTunes.

Windows Vista Ipod Nano drivers??

When I connect my iPod nano 4gb to my new laptop, with iTunes 7 installed, it tells me it needs to install drivers and insert CD...but I dont have the CD!
Can anyone give me a link for these drivers at all, or give me adivice on how to get around this?
I've previously read a suggestion to manually search for drivers by specifying 2 distinct folders - System32 I think, and also going through Control Panel, Devices, Ipod, then selecting different options for updating drivers.
Nothing works yet!!!
Please help guys

Something is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.
I'm not on my Vista computer right now...but here's an article to help you find device manager in Vista: http://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5183

MS Windows Professional 2000, SP3 and IPOD Nano drivers

I've just received my new iPOD nano and trying to instal software on my laptop I found that it requests SP4 that I couldn't install on my laptop due to policy requirements.
Could I download any previous release or what can I do?I have Administration rights, too so do you advise me to instal SP 4?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Ciao Matz

Welcome to the forums.
Well, if your laptop is not yours, and your not supposed to install anything new on it, such as SP4, then I wouldn't advise you to break the rules.
If you have Admin rights, meaning you are allowed to do things, cause you are admin, then go ahead, cause the service packs are designed to make Windows run better. The service packs don't hurt, they help.
Hope this helps!

Need Ipod nano drivers

Hi!
I got a mayor problem. Out of pure stupidity I accedently uninstalled my Ipod as I was reinstalling windows on my computer. So now there aint a thing on it and I need some kind of software or drivers so I can use it again. Is there anywere to download these things? And please dont direkt me to the download page and say "If it aint there, it doesnt exist" because its too much information to go through and I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. I've already tried to get help by phone but they just direkted me to this page and told me to look and hope for some luck.

The drivers for the iPod are part of the iPod Updater Utility.

Searching for iPod nano drivers

It seems that when I connect my iPod on my windows 2000 pc, it says "installing hardware" and then it wants me to find a driver for iPod.But, no matter how much I have searched I haven't found something.Any ideas please??answer ASAP

No need to get snippity.
The drivers are part of iTunes 7, and SP4 is a requirement for the iPod to work properly which is why I asked. They are valid questions and I understand your issue.
Try uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.

Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP

I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS. Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas. I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one. However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13. Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely. I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw).
Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod. I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer. I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not. I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour. He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck!
Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums. So...my question is: Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what? I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved. Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

I was given an older ipod nano, i think it's a 3rd gen 8gb... i have searched the iternet for help and have had no luck. when i connect the ipods to my computer i tells me the usd device is not recognized. i have tried to reset it and it still gives me the samething notice. i have even uninstalled my itunes and updated to the newest itunes available and still no luck. i can not find updats for drivers. i have windows vista.. can anyone help?

Installing the latest version of iTunes should provide the "drivers."
It was definitely working properly for the person who gave it to you? Is that person a Mac user?
I would try the following. Shut down (power off) your computer. Use this procedure to reset the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
(It's the part that says How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel.)
Disconnect ALL USB devices and peripherals (including hubs) from computer, except for standared mouse and keyboard. Start up computer that way. Run iTunes. Connect iPod to a USB port that is directly on the computer.

When syncing the ipod nano 4 gen., Itunes shuts down. Drivers are updated, what could be the issue?

You would be better off posting in the iTunes for Windows forum area since your issue is with that rather than an iPod Nano.

I have tried everything to get my new ipod nano to work with Windows 8. Do I need to install new drivers or what?

Got a ipod nano for Christmas. Installed already bought tunes on it with my computer at the time which was running Vista OS. Had to buy a new computer in March with Windows 8. Did not buy any songs until April 29th or so...but they will not show in my ipod nano. Talked with a tech and he got my songs into the new computer. However, after we hung up, I tried to download the 2 new songs into my ipod and it would not do it. I noticed that the "cloud" icon was not by any of the songs - only the word: downloaded. I am thinking that since this is a 64 bit computer that I need to do something else, but don't know what. Can you help me? Thank you

So you have tried a different USB sync cable and as well as plugging it into all the USB ports on your system? Did you try removing all other USB peripherals (excluding keyboard and mouse if necessary) to see if that did any good?
What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac?

IPod Nano 4Gb (2nd Gen) not detected by Windows or iTunes

I am hoping someone can help me with this as I am at my wits end.
When I plug my iPod into the usb port, it begins the charging process, but neither windows, nor iTunes will detect any new devices. I have tried the 4 R's (the fifth needs a connection with iTunes), putting it into disc mode, and even on 3 different windows computers, but no dice. To save the no doubt normal questions, The usb ports are 2.0, and brand spanking new, which i have tested sucessfully with other usb devices, so I know it's not the usb port. I have the latest drivers & updates installed, and the latest version of iTunes also installed.
Other potentially useful info:
The model is iPod nano 4bg alu 2nd gen
It's not new, i was given it as a gift by a friend who upgraded to the video model.
Though I can't be sure, I suspect that the dock cable isn't an apple product. Given that *very few* places where I live sell official iPod accessories, it is difficult for me to check.
Like I said, i really hope someone can help me, I really don't know how long i can go listening to my friends rather dubious music tastes...

Ipod nano shuts down windows as soon as is connected

I have just purchased an ipod nano 4th generation, downloaded itunes software with no problem, the nano is fully charged, this has been done on a different computer, my problem is that soon as I connect the ipod via the usb cable the pc shuts down and then tries to restart itself (no blue screen)it will not restart though whilst the ipod is connected, i have read that i should update usb drivers but am not able to see which one the ipod connects to as the shut down is fairly instant, has anyone else had this problem and how could it be resolved, need big help please

I've experienced the same problem since 21st November and attended the Ipod Genius Bar at Oxford Street and still no resolution. Today i have both my childrens Nano 4th Generation working/syncing etc.
The Nano identifies an apple ipod driver when connected to the computer for the first time when online. Itunes refuses to accepts this and shuts down, similar to your problem.
Without being online or opening itunes i opened computer management then device manager and disable the apple driver.
I then opened the assigned a USB Mass Storage Device driver to the Nano. I then opened the Nano in windows and found several files including calender etc on the disk. I deleted all the contents and disconnected it from the computer through the eject device feature.
I then opened Itunes and connected the Nano and it recognised it and required it to be fully restored which i did.
I have since connected it to Itunes Store etc and no problems.
By the way i have removed both Itunes & Quicktime no less than eleven times and reassigned drive letters to the Nano as well as re-create my itunes library on a seperate disk drive but the problem stems from the device drives and the programs/files already on the Nano.
I hope this helps.

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...
