IPod Nano not being read...

Well, i have 2 computers and one is a Laptop, and when i logged in on my account and bought a song, it said if i wanted to Authorize this computer. I said yes, and plugged my Nano into it. I put a few songs on and it worked. I took it out, and now, when i try to plug it in again, it says on the lil message bar at the bottom that it is an unknown device. And it doesn't show on the side of iTunes.

    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.

  • Low battery ipod is not being read by my new computer

    I got a new computer recently and I hadn't thought of seeing if it could read my iPod or not. Today, I tried to charge it since it ran completely out of battery and I plugged it into my computer and nothing showed up. I read the pages on Windows not recognizing iPod, low battery, etc. but none of them has anything on Windows not reading the iPod software when the iPod's not working because there's no battery left.
    Please help me?
    iPod Nano (2nd Generation)   Windows XP Pro  

    The iPod will not be read by your computer if there is no battery power. Leaving it connected for a while (sometimes quite a long while!) usually cures this.
    However, sometimes if the battery gets completely discharged, simply connecting to a USB port on the computer doesn't supply enough power to "kick start" the charging process. In theory it should do, but yours seems to be a common problem.
    Do you have access to a wall charger?

  • Why is my old ipod nano not being recognized by my computer as being connected?

    my older ipod nano stopped being recognised as connected to my computer. it has also stopped being recognised on my xbox 360 arcade version. please advise on what to do

    I have also tried a different cable and giving it a brief charge before attempting to connect to the computer. There has been no problems connecting my iPad using the same cable or USB port and the issue remains the iPod.

  • Ipod nano not being recognized since update

    Ok, so everything was fine until i had to update my ipod nano(right around when the updated itunes came out). Since then, my ipod nano would connect sometimes, for a min. or two, or not at all. Now, it wont even connect, light up, charge, anything! It's not being recognized by My Computer, Windows, nothing.
    I have tried reinstalling the software with the instilation disc, but all it did was pop up with an error saying im missing some file, and that only happened once. I know that its not the cable because the charger works and i know its not the usb port because other things still work in it. Also, i have plugged it into the back usb port, to no avail.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hey i am having exactly the same problem its really strange!! I have tried everything i can think of to fix it, reinstalling the USB drives and everything but it still wont recognise my ipod! HELP!!

  • New Ipod Nano not being recognized by Computer

    It seems I am not the only one having this annoying issue. My new Ipod Nano (3rd Generation) will not show up at all in Itunes. I never get the setup assistant to show up either. I have tried different USB ports, shutting down and restarting the computer, reloading itunes, etc. What's next? I am new to the whole ipod thing so if I need to do something I don't know about, please let me know.

    Hi
    You're right, you're not the only person having this problem. If you don't mind though, could you just stick to bumping the other thread? I'll get you the link, one second.

  • Ipod nano not being seen by computer, windows, 2000...

    after over a week on the phone and attemting to get my computer to "see" my nano, and not being able to do so. and after going thru every trouble shooting guide given to me by apple i did get my nano to work.
    I used every usb port but two, the two off the mother board, when i used one of them the nano took off and worked liked it was susposed to do, so...... you people who have this problem or know others pass the word use the mother board usb ports. nothing else.......

    i resolved my computer, windows 2000, not seeing by i pod nano, by using the usb ports from the mother board. use no other usb ports, not usb hubs, or other circurt ports, just mother ports..................

  • Ipod nano not being recognised by computer, 5th gen

    my ipod is not beng recognised by my laptop as my ipod will not turn on and is charged and is also not being recgonised by any other devices such as docking stations. It will not reset for me and have tried numerous links online, please help???!!!!

    If the iPod isn't powering on and you are positive that you are using a working USB cable and plugging the iPod into a working USB port or wall adapter, it could be a sign of some hardware issue with the iPod such as a dead battery or damaged/faulty logic board.

  • (Another) iPod nano not being detected by iTunes

    My replacement 4GB nano is not recognized by iTunes (I have the latest version 6.0.5). It is recognized in My Computer (D:); however, when I try to run iPod Updater (either 3-23-06 version or 6-28-06 one) I either get an iPod service error msg, an iPod internal manager error or it hangs and does nothing while trying to initialize. iPod Service is running and I've also reinstalled the COM I/F for iPod Service. I've disabled the 'switch user' feature (running XP). Could connecting my iPod before loading the later Updater software caused this?
    Any suggestions?

    O WOW! i had this same problem and i had to call the apple store and was on the phone for 30 minutes while they helped me alot! what you have to do is reformat your drive! so you are going to go to start and on my computers you are going to right click and then hit manage!ok now you are going to have to find where your ipods format is and make sure it says healthy! i dont remember what to do next but if someone remembers help me finish! now your ipod isnt broken so dont freak because i had this same thing! but if you need help call 1800apple and they are so nice and will help you!! and then you might want to post better instructions because this happeneed a week ago and i forgot how to do it~~

  • Ipod nano not being recongized by computer

    Hey guys, i just recently got a new HP computer with windows 7 and installed itunes on it, however my computer would not find my ipod at all. The only time it finds it is during start up and the second the users kick in it ejects its self from the computer. if anyone could help me figure this out or point me in the direction of something all ready posted that would be great. thanks

    Hi J_Mart,
    If you have just recently purchased a new computer, that may be the source of the problem. Did your iPod do this with your old computer? If not, your HP may be the problem. If this is the case, you may want to post this problem on the HP discussion boards also.
