    My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by itunes.  I did all of the troubleshooting and even uninstalled Apple Mobile Device.  I can't get it back.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi MartyP680, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that you're receiving a message that your iPod nano can't be identified properly, and you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes. You've also isolated this behavior to only one of your PCs. 
    If the issue persists, there are some additional tips in this article that may help, including verifying that the Apple Mobile Device Support service installed properly and is running:

    The "Learn More" section also mentions some other potentially conflicting software to look for on your PC.

  • IPod Nano isn't recognized by iTunes/computer

    I've had my iPod Nano for almost six months now, and up until now I haven't had any problems with it. When I connect it to the computer, it charges but it doesn't say "Do not disconnect", it doesn't sync any new songs and on iTunes, there is no "device" section and the computer doesn't recognize the iPod.
    I've downloaded the latest iTunes software, and I use a Windows XP OS, it's a Dell PC.
    Please help! I've looked at many of the support topics, but none of them seem to fit my situation. Thanks.

  • HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • TS1538 My iPod Touch isn't recognized in itunes.

    My ipod touch isn't recognised in iTunes on the computer I always use to sync music onto it. (I can't see "Omar's iPod" in the left column.)
    When I plug it in and I open up iTunes, the device isn't shown.
    However, the device is shown in My Computer.
    When I plug it into other computers, iTunes recognises my device. (I can see "Omar's iPod" in the left column.)
    I've tried every method, except for Recovery Mode because I don't want to lose any of the files on my iPod.
    I've done every method in the Apple trouble shooting manuals.
    I need iTunes to recognise my device, help please.

  • My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by my computer or by ITunes. What could be some reasons?

    My new Ipod Nano 7 does not come up as a drive on my computer. The computer clunks to acknowledge a new device is attached but it is not shown in explorer. ITunes DOES open as it should, but it gives me a message "An IPod has been detected but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the IPod and try again. If the problem persists, please uninstall ITunes and reinstall ITunes." We did all that, several times. The new IPod does work correctly on our other laptop, of the same generation, with similar security. Could this be a block specific to some security on my computer? We tried all ports on my computer. I can't troubleshoot using my previous IPod because I put it through the laundry - thus the reason for a new one.

  • IPod Nano 6gen not recognized by iTunes using a Mac, have tried all the tips.

    I've tried all of the tips on the site, nothing seems to work.  My Mac (OS X 10.6.8) can see the device and my iTunes updates as normal on other devices but the nano suddenly isn't seen by iTunes.  I've reset the settings, checked the USB, nothing seems to work. I'm also getting an error message that says Mac OS X can't repair the disk, its telling me to backup and reformat.  The resetting on the device should take care of this but it doesn't, the device is empty.  All software is up to date.  Any ideas?

  • Ipod Nano no longer recognized by Itunes

    I have an Ipod Nano that I used with my Toshiba and Itunes. About a month ago, I got an Ipod Touch (lots of fun)and used it with the same Itunes. It worked fine. However, it does not recognize the Nano anymore. It charges but nothing else happens. Any thoughts? The Nano is recognized by other computers.
    Thanks!

    I've run into similar problems. I have four iPods (a firewire 3G, a Shuffle, a nano and a 5G) attached to my PC and I've yet to get all of them to show up in iTunes at once, even after restoring and reloading each of them. The Shuffle shows up for a few seconds, then goes away. The Nano, 3G and 5G stick around for a while, but if two of them are connected to the system, one of them (usually the nano or the 3G) vanishes from iTunes when the third is connected.
    ITunes won't say so specifically, but you won't be able to successfully restore a device unless it's the only one connected to your system. What's more, if you have more than one iPod connected when you attempt to restore one, there's a good chance you'll screw up your other one instead. No big deal, unless you're on your way out the door and must now wait for 6000 songs to resync, but still a hassle.
