IPod nano gen 6 is not recognized in my computer nor iTunes, but it is recognized in other computers and iTunes

Neither my computer nor iTunes recognize my new nano. I've tried the troubleshooting suggestions on this site. I've reinstalled iTunes many times. Every now and then I could reset the nano and iTunes would state it needs to "prepare to restore" it. I've even left it connected overnight hoping the process will complete. Nothing worked. However, I tried connecting it to my friend's computer, and both the computer and iTunes recognize the nano. I tried it again at home, but neither my computer nor iTunes recognize it. Please help!

I'm having this issue as well.  I updgrade my CPU to one with Windows 8.  At soon as I connect my iPod Classic, it connect momentarily & then immediately eject it.

    My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. I could download the first half of the episodes. Help! I really like them. It says "it can't be played on this device." Many other podcasts are doing the same thing. Is my ipod too old?

  • My computer no longer recognizes my 7th Gen iPod Nano. "USB Device not recognized." What can I do to fix this?

    Hi!
    So here's what happened: My nano has been working just fine. I plugged it in this morning to my computer, and it automatically turned on, but instead of charging, it went to play music. I turned it off. However, it did not switch to charging mode. So I unplugged it, and then I plugged it back in. "USB Device not recognized." My iPod won't turn on anymore, and my computer simply does not recognize the nano.
    It may have gotten slightly damp yesterday as it rained a bit when I was walking home (though I kept it covered). When I got home, it proceeded to work for another two hours after that--then I turned it off. And this morning? It doesn't work, as described above.

    Try cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone. Use a magnifying glass to see what is stuck inside, a dry toothbrush and/or wood or plastic toothpicks (nothing metal). If that doesn't resolve the problem your phone is broken.

  • IPod 1st Gen (Scroll wheel) not recognized by iTunes

    iPod 1st Gen (with scroll wheel) will not connect to iTunes 12.1 on MacBookPro.  Charging when I plug it in, want to add music to it, but iTunes will not recognize it.  Anyone have any suggestions or does anyone know if this iPod is no longer supported by iTunes?

  • TS1410 My ipod nano 2nd generation is not recognized anymore by iTunes 11.1.5 whereas it was recognized by previous version of itunes

    Hi,
    I encounter a problem with my ipod nano (2 nd generation) because it not recognized anymore by itunes. When I say not recognized I mean that the ipod does not appear in the devices field of itunes. I do not know exactly when this problem appeared : i do not synchronize often my ipod but before with my macbook pro the synchronisation worked. iTunes sees others devices such as my iphone 5 and iPhone 4 with respectively iOS 7 and iOS 6.0.1. My macbook pro is updated with Maverick  10.9.2 and itunes is the 11.5.5 version. My MacBook pro is from 2009. With previous version of iTunes I know that my ipod could be synchronized.
    I did not find any solution on the Apple Support, so I decided to send this post. If someone already encountered this problem and found th solution it would be very helpful ....

  • Ipod Nano... usb not recognized.

    Everytime I connect my ipod to the computer a message comes up in the window saying USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED.
    I tried everything already... resests, uninstallations, installations and still the same! I even conncected to another computer to see if the problem was my pc but it also gave me that same message in my other computer.
    Does anyone knows what to do?
    Thanks in advance!
    Ipod nano   Windows XP  

    Put the iPod in disk mode and see if you still get the message. If not, try to restore it using the iPod updater. If that doesn't work, format it using My Computer (right click on it, select format. use FAT32 and a full format)

  • IPod Nano Restore, USB Device Not Recognized. Windows XP. What to do?

    Hi,
    I tried to reset my iPod Nano but it did not work. It has a blank screen with the backlight on, and the music is playing. Someone suggested that I do a restore.
    However, when I connect my iPod to my PC, it says it is an Unrecognized USB device. I have Windows XP Pro, the restore application says it cannot initialize iPod.
    What am I to do?

  • HT1369 my iPod nano 4th generation is not recognized by iTunes.

    I have always used iTunes with this iPod.  I have Christmas music on it and I want some other music.  This is only used for music on the Bose. It worked before Christmas but there has been updates to iTunes since then so don't know if thats the problem.
    I have googled it and have tried everything that is mentioned but it still is not recognized.  It shows up as a drive in my computer but on the devices for iTunes it isn't there.

  • Ipod, nano 4th generation, will not charge using my PC or my dock.  It's 5 years old and has charged using both methods since I got it.

    My ipod will not charge when connected to my dock or my computer.  I will play when connected to both.  I have tried both USB ports, checked the connections on my dock (power light is on) and it will just not charge. 

    Howdy Crickety22,
    Using the USB cord in different locations is a great way to help isolate this kind of issue. Since you have done that, the next step I would recommend is testing a different USB cable with the device.
    Check out this info from the article named Archived - iPod's battery doesn't charge found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ta44551
    Faulty cable
    If something is wrong with the FireWire or USB cable that came with iPod, it may not supply any power to charge the battery. Note: Only iPod models with a Click Wheel can get power from a high-powered USB port using the supplied cable (includes iPod mini, iPod (Click Wheel), iPod photo, iPod with color display, iPod nano, and Fifth Generation iPod).
    Make sure you are using the cable that came with iPod. Some third-party cables may not work properly with iPod.
    Make sure nothing is in or blocking your computer's FireWire or USB ports.
    Check the connections to make sure the cable is completely plugged in.
    Try another known-good FireWire or USB cable if available.
    If this resolves the issue your FireWire or USB cable needs to be replaced. You can arrange for replacement at theiPod Service Website.
    And this part as well:
    Faulty dock connector or FireWire port on iPod
    If something is wrong with iPod's FireWire or Dock Connector port, it may not supply power to iPod.
    Make sure nothing is in or blocking iPod's FireWire or Dock Connector port.
    Check the connection to make sure the FireWire or Dock Connector cable is completely plugged in.
    If this did not resolve the issue iPod needs to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.
