Ipod Nano Not connecting to Windows 8, Itunes

I am unable to get my Ipod Nano to connect to Itunes.  My computer is operating with the newest versions of Windows 8 and Itunes.  I have completed ALL the steps in the troubleshooting guide through Apple.  I would like to use my Nano during the delivery of my son next week.  I have looked for answers all over the internet, with no luck.  Can anyone help? I see that many people have had the same issue.  (My Ipad also did not work). Again, I have completed ALL of the troubleshooting items 

Hello again, Pheobesmum.
Thanks for the update on your issue. Some users that have had the issue you're describing have found that removing and reinstalling iTunes has helped them with the issue. The following article provides the steps on how to do this:

    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:

  • Ipod is not connect to windows or itunes but it still shows up on ipod

    i had to re set my ipod the other day and ever since then it will NOT connect to windows of itunes but every time it shows up on the ipod that it is connected!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    try again to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again. If still no luck, restore "as new ipod"

  • Ipod nano not recognised in windows or itunes have done R&R twice

    I have had ipods from the beginning of time. trying to sync brand new gen 6 nano without any success. My ipad works OK. can any one help?

    A few things to try before doing a reinstall:
    - Connect the iPod directly to your computer. Not through a hub. Also, if you are connecting to a USB port on the front of your computer, try one on the back.
    - Disconnect all other USB devices except for your keyboard and mouse. There may be some other USB item conflicting with your iPod.
    If neither of those helps, you should try doing a full reinstall. This means reinstalling all the Apple items (not just iTunes). Here is an article from Apple on how to do this.

    After you do the uninstall/reinstall, you should be good to go.

  • Ipod nano not showing in windows or iTunes

    I've just purchased a new 7th. gen Nano. I have a windows 7  laptop with iTunes 11.1.5.5 that is working fine with an ipod clasic.
    When I plug the nano in it doesn't show up in itunes or windows file manager. The only place I can see it is under Device Manager where it appears under other devices with no driver installed. If I try to install a driver it fails saying "Windows found a driver software for your device but encountered an error attempting to install it, USB MAss Storage Device.Access is Denied'
    Any ideas anyone please????

  • Nano not recognized in windows or itunes

    Hello all, I have a new laptop with windows 8.1 and will recognize my ipod touch but not my older nano, it's like i doesn't exist. It's not in itunes or USB drivers. I've tried reinstalling itunes, tried different leads, it works still on my old pc. Is there a compatibility issue maybe ? thanks

  • ITouch not connecting to windows or itunes, and will not charge.

    Okay, so, I was charging my iTouch one day in my computer, and every time I plug it in, iTunes launches and then starts to automatically sync my iTouch, which I DO NOT WANT. Anyways, I quit the sync from itunes as I always do, but this time, when I tried to quit, nothing happened and itunes froze up. 1 Ctrl+Alt+Dlt later, I tried to end the program, it was being pesky so I had to try and end it a few times. My iTouch finished charging and I hane not thought anything of it since then. The day after that, I was trying to charge my iTouch before work, and I went to get ready while it was charging. I came back to an iTouch that was not charged at all. It does not connect to Windows or iTunes, but still for some reason retains enough battery to display the battery symbol. I have used the iTunes helper to try and guide me through the problem, but the steps I took did not fix the problem and I do not feel like taking my iTouch in to get serviced. So, in overview, my iTouch will not charge, connect to windows or iTunes, all after I ended iTunes from the task manager. My iTunes works just fine, my iTouch is the problem. I dont know what operating system it is running on, and I dont know how to update it, but it is at least 4.3.1.
    P.S. I would love to get some speedy help on this. If its any reward, you have many internets up for grabs for answering my question. Over 9000 ^_^

    - Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try placing the iPOd in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Ipod nano does not connect to Windows and itunes

    Dear All
    in my family we have 3 ipods: a shuffle, a ipod 20gb and a nano. While the first 2 are easily connecting to windows and itunes, the nano doesn't and does not recognise the USB port of my laptop[message 'unkwnon device']. I have tried, I think, most of the suggestion I found on the apple support and in the forum. Does somebody know any 'special' tip, my son is really getting frustrated by this situation because he can't get the same music. Please help. Thanks in advance
    ciao

  • 6th generation ipod nano not shown in windows 8 or itunes

    ipod nano briefly appears in windows then disappears and is not shown in itunes at all. I get error message saying "an ipod has been detected, but could not be identified properly" Have re-installed itunes, reset the ipod  and restarted the laptop many times. Any advice please?

    I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me). You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
    1) iTunes
    2) Apple Software Update
    3) Apple Mobile Device Support
    4) Bonjour
    5) Apple Application Support
    Then you restart your computer. Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled). Then you restart your computer again.

  • IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

    First of all, hello to everyone...
    i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
    the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
    my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
    but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
    ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
    i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
    1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
    2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
    3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
    4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
    the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
    i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
    thx in advance!!

    HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

    i went to update my ipod the other day and it said that the ipod was corrupted, so i took it out and pluged it back in again and it worked fine. then i went to charge my ipod on the computer a couple of days later and its not regognised on windows or itunes and will not charge!
    i have reset, restarted and updated etc and nothing has happened. i have read other thru peoples messeges who have simular problems and they say that reinstalling and reseting to factory conditions doesnt work.
    can someone please help me or has any one had the same problem? thanks

    can i put it into disk mode if the computer doesnt recognise it at all?
    Yes, you can.
    "Putting your iPod into disk mode" is simply a process that involves pressing a few buttons on your iPod, getting it into Disk Mode.
    To put your iPod into Disk Mode, follow the steps in this article -> Putting your iPod into Disk Mode
    As Bryan said, see if the iPod is recognized by your computer when it's in disk mode.

  • "The Problem" is IPOD will not connect to windows

    I guess for those people that have not spent the last few days reading these posts I will add that "The Problem" that I am referring to in my previous post is the same one that everyone seems to be having. One of my IPODs was rendered absolutely useless by the new updater. (only one was updated) I believe that the com port on the IPOD is being "jammed" by the software update. I had never updated before and my two IPODS have worked flawlessly up to now. I believe that this fix will be the best for me because it basically cleans it back to factory state. I have read some old posts and feel that some of the older updaters have killed some IPODS in the past. I would suggest that if you decide to follow my previous post and restore. That you go back to the oldest updater that will provide all the functionality that you actually use. "If you do not feel comfortable taking the IPOD apart I am sure there are places that will do this for you.

    Because an iPod wil not sync with Windows Media Player. It will only sync with iTunes.

  • IPod Nano not recognized on Windows 7 or iTunes

    I just bought an iPod Nano. Windows 7 and the latest iTunes 10.6.3.25 does't recognize my iPod. Windows also did not ask me for my iPod name when plugging in the 1st time. Please help.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
