Ipod nano is already "named" and it does not show up as a device in Itunes...

I have a brand new ipod nano 7th generation straight out of the box, but it's already named as "Kathi's Ipod".  How can I change this name?  Plus, I've already synched it with my Itunes account and that worked fine, but it does not show up in Itunes under "devices"?????   Please help...

  • IPhone 5 does not show up as a device in iTunes

    My new iPhone was showing up in iTunes but in the last few days it is no longer show up in devices.  It does show up in Computer (running Vista) as a device attached via USB.  I've used the troubleshooting information provided by Apple but it is still not being recognized.  The auto play feature starts when connected almost as if it is being recognized as a camera but it never shows up in iTunes.  I've run the iTunes diagnostic and it says no device is connected.  This is very frustrating so any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    When you say you have used troubleshooting provided by Apple, have you tried to remove and reinstall iTunes? Do so by following this support document to the letter http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. Then connect the phone, it should be recognized by Windows, install the necessary drivers and work. The phone will only activate auto play when there are pictures in the camera roll, that is why it appears like a digital camera.

  • My Ipad was 89% charged an hour ago. put it in sleep mode and came back and now there is nothing...I plugged it into my computer and it is not showing up as a device in iTunes...there is absolutely nothing...and it was just fine...hmmm...any ideas?

    My Ipad dropped dead. I had 89% charge left. Came back an hour later after putting it to sleep and it is totally black...no response to plugging it in...usually there is a sound...when I plugged into my apple computer it doesnot even show up on itunes..no acknowlegement of it...no nothing...Ipad 3..new this last spring...I had an ipad 2 before this...so this is not my first rodeo as they say.Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Or is it just dead?

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • My iphone 4 does not show up as a device on itunes

    I have the latest itunes and have followed all apple's troubleshooting steps, maybe its another problem, please help.

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

  • HT4235 iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working.  Sync test says:  No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found.  Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod.  Any clues what to do?

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

  • I have an old ipod shuffle and I cannot get it to sync because it does not show up in my devices list...? HELP!!!

    I cannot get my old ipod shuffle to sync because it does not show up in my devices list!!! I have tried letting it die and then plugging it in and still no success!! HELP!!!

    To sync via wifi you first have to connect to computer via USB and check the box in the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes that sync via wifi.
    Note you can only sync with one computer. If you change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the second computer.

  • Sometimes Firefox will not open, telling me, it is already running. It does not show in the task manager and the only solution is to reboot.

    Firefox is running. I close the program. I try to reopen it. I get an error message: Firefox is already running. It does not show in the task manager, nor anywhere else. I can not close the old version, nor start a new one. I have to reboot.

    Did you look in the Processes tab in the Task Manager?

  • When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device".

    When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device", however my computer can see they are connected. so it seems to be a problem with itunes. i have tried re-installing itunes and it still doesnt work.
    My Iphone does show as a device when connecteing wirelessly.
    Its not a problem with the driver becasue the computer can see the devices, so its a problem in itunes.

    Hello mimward,
    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

    Interesting.  Googling, I see that someone posted that on these discussions as well:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3331216?start=0&tstart=0
    which mentions what I recall: that Airdrop (as implemented by Apple) would create an on-demand ad-hoc Wi-Fi connection, even if you were already connected to an access point.  Normally, you can't connect to multiple Wi-Fi networks, thus the reason for Airdrop only supported on newer Wi-Fi chips.

  • I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card?

    I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card? How would I know. Airport utility in my mac says no other devices connected.

    If both your MacBook Pro and iPod are unable to "see" the Wi-Fi network provided by the AirPort Express, it is most likely NOT that you are missing an "airport card," but the Express may be the issue instead.
    One quick test is to see if either device can "see" other Wi-Fi networks. If they can, then you can definately rule both of them out as the issue.
    By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can either device see this network? If not, then I would recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on the Express, and then, check again.
