Ipod nano, I can see it in windows but not itunes, Tried EVERYTHING!

Please help.
Starting a few weeks ago my six month old ipod stopped being 'seen' by itunes. I can see it on explorer no problem. I have followed all the steps in the support pages, apart from re-installing windows.
However I have found it doesn't work on my main computer of either of my two laptops, which makes me thinks its an ipod problem NOT a computer/windows problem.
I have a shuffle which is working fine on itunes on the same computers.
The only thing I cannot do is restore the nano - because you need an itunes connection to do this.
Can anyone help please?
Ipod Nano. Windows XP itunes 7.02.16

At least I'm not alone in this problem...
I'm in the same boat. My Nano did work with iTunes 7 for a while. The only glitch was that it couldn't update the iPod's software. Since it stopped appearing in iTunes a few weeks ago I've tried everything I can think of (except sending it away) to fix the problem (restart/reset, reinstall iTunes (6 & 7), check services, format comp., change drive letter, etc...). It won't appear in iTunes on other computers either. Further I've run the iPod diagnostics and everything gets a green light. Hardware, software, me? I haven't a clue as to what the problem is. Argh.
I like the music on my iPod but it would be nice if I could listen to something different! I'll have a chance to stop by the store it came from soon but in the mean time...does anybody out there have ideas?

I apologize if I write bad but I'm Italian

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Help please! Ipod Classic appears in Windows but not Itunes: Tried Troubleshooter and TS1363

Hi There,
My ipod classic won't sync with itunes It appears in windows 7 and itunes even opens when the device is attached. Unfortunately the device doesn't appear in itunes and consequently won't sync. I have tried using the troubleshooter but to no avail and have also tried the suggestions in the help article TS1363, also to no avail! Performing the diagnostic in itunes reveals that the ipod is attached and performing correctly according to itunes but there is a problem syncing. I'm stuck as to what to do next! Help!
Hoping you can make me smile again
Thank you

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.

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.

IPOD detected by Windows but NOT iTunes – possible solution

I have a new 30GB Video IPOD with an AMD PC running Windows XP SP2 and like many others posting on this site, my iTunes stopped recognizing my IPOD. ITunes did work correctly immediately after my initial software installation and I was able to sync some music, but it failed thereafter and I was unable to add any more files. Like many other users, I tried all suggested fixes including the 5R’s, uninstalling and re-installing the software, changing selective start-up items using “MSCONFIG”, etc. Nothing worked – until I tried the following…
1) Uninstall iTunes & IPOD updater software using Windows Add/Remove Software tool in the Start/Settings menu
2) Reboot Windows
3) Connect IPOD to USB port (Windows should detect the IPOD)
4) Run the original IPOD CD installation disk, load the IPOD Updater software (but not iTunes …yet)
5) The IPOD Updater software loads first, so when prompted to load iTunes, wait (you may minimize the window), go into the IPOD Updater software (Start/Programs menu) and open the IPOD Updater window by clicking on the icon. If your system works like mine, the IPOD should now be recognized and the “RESTORE” button should now be available. Don’t click the “RESTORE” button – just leave this window open (minimize the window if you wish) and go back to the iTunes install window.
6) Continue with the installation of the iTunes software.
7) Once installed try opening the iTunes program to see if IPOD is detected (at this point it still didn’t work for me)
8) With the IPOD still connected, and the IPOD updater window still open, go to Add/Remove Software (Start/Settings) and click on “remove” iTunes – you’ll be prompted to “Repair” or “Remove”. Choose REPAIR. Once this process is complete, try opening iTunes again – at this point my computer now recognized the IPOD

i could do everything fine up until step 6), the installation of itunes. when i tried to, with the ipod updater window still open, it said it could not continue without closing the updater program. any suggestions?

Ipod showes up on windows but not itunes

I am having trouble getting my ipod synced back up with itunes. I have tried everything as far as uninstalling itunes and bonjour and all the others.I also tried updating drivers and a few other suggestions from tech support. I brought my ipod to a friends house and it showed up on his computer. So we tried to see if his ipod would show up on my itunes and it did. Also windows recognizes the ipod but something is keeping the itunes software on my computer from connecting to my ipod touch. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I have tried several places and everyone seems to be stumped.

Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
It's the same problem in the other feed.
