IPod Nano isn't showing up at all in iTunes.

My ipod hasn't been showing up at all in itunes. I've tried it on a few different computers including the one I got all my music off of in the past but all it does is charges like it's hooked up to a wall charger.
Help?

Ipod nano 6th gen not recognised at all in itunes or windows

Nano was recognised as a device first two times i used it but now not recognised in itunes or in my computer as an ipod. Followed various help suggestions but no change. Does t need software restoring and if so how if not recognised in itunes?

This problem now solved after a few hours browsing Apple help and other forums like this - tried connecting through usb ports at rear of computer instead of front and instantly itunes recognised it. Odd since I can still connect my camera through front usb ports - the mystery of computers eh? Anyone know how to fix front usb ports?

I moved to Europe and now my iPod nano isn't recognized by French version of iTunes

I have a laptop with Window 7.
Since in France, in order to buy music on iTunes I had to download its French version, letting me keep the music already there. But now I don't seem to be able to synchronize and/or update my iPods (I have one first generation and one touch 6 th generation).
I must say that, before I left the U.S., I downloaded music on the iPods from another computer - my main desk computer (and account with iTunes). So, would it be a problem because the libraries are different in each computer or because the account is now in a different country?
I am lost... Some help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

However the Nano 6th GEN just refuses to.. . Please help! Have tried all options under apple/support website, and uninstalled/ reinstalled drivers too.

Ipod Nano icon not showing in itunes and I've tried everything suggested

My ipod nano is not showing in itunes and I've tried everything that has been suggested by Apple. I updated iTunes, I've reset the ipod. I just want to download my songs! Help! Please and Thank you.

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:

My ipod nano will not show any music on it after syncing or manuallly adding it, but the information still takes up space in ipod

I have tried to put music on my ipod nano 3rd gen both manually and syncing it, but it never shows up after I eject my nano. The songs I put on will take up space, but the ipod says no songs. I have restored it multiple times and nothing has helped.

Hey there Eduardo_09,
It sounds like your iPod Nano is not appearing in either Windows, or iTunes on your computer. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help isolate and resolve the issue:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Here is step 1 to get you started, but there are additional steps within if needed:
1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by itunes.

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:
iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod could not be identified properly - Apple Support
The "Learn More" section also mentions some other potentially conflicting software to look for on your PC.
Best Regards,
Jeremy
