IPOD Nano not in source list

OK... I've read several threads, and there doesn't seem to an answer out there...
The other night while updating my Nano (the second day I had it) it disappeared from the source list and hasn't reappeared. About half of my MP3s updated to it before it died. Now it just says "Do not disconnect" for days at a time. I can see the device in Windows XP explorer as an unnamed mass drive, but iTunes won't list the device as a source and I can't see any of the options for it. I've done all of the "R's" as far as resetting... even reinstalled iTunes from the web to ensure I had the latest version.
Any help out there?
Nano   Windows XP  

This worked for me after downloading that confounded 3_23 update:
1. Go to Start > Run
2. Type "diskmgmt.msc" (without quotes). If it tells you it can't find that program, try it without the ".msc"
3. That opens the Disk Management program.
4. You should see your Ipod listed as one of the "volumes." It may not be identified as an Ipod; might just say "removable storage device" or something like that. You can tell it's your Ipod by the gig space shown. If it's a 4 gig Ipod, you should see something like 3.7 gig shown (less if you've filled it with music already).
5. Right-click on that device and choose "Format..."
6. Choose the "FAT32" option and click "OK" or whatever it displays to start formatting (I forget, and I'm not testing it again now!)
7. You will lose any music files on the Ipod, but when it's done, your PC and Itunes should recognize the Ipod, and it should then work normally.
Be careful in that Disk Management program. You could wipe your hard drive if you choose drives incorrectly.

  • No IPod Nano icon in Source List

    Is there a way to get the IPod Nano icon to reappear in the Source List? I'm not sure that it ever was there. I guess it's possible that I may have deleted it. I'm using version 7 of itunes. Thanks!

  • 1st Gen Nano not in Source List!

    My 1st generation, 4GB IPOD nano was stuck on the apple logo...I forced it into disk mode, formatted it, connected it to a brand new install of Itunes 7.5. Itunes restored it, and it said "your Ipod is restarting and will appear in the source list when it's restarted". The Ipod restarts, but NEVER appears in the source list.
    Otherwise it appears to be functioning normally (with no songs on it of course!) I can access all of the functions of the IPOD when it's disconnected.
    Interestingly, it DOES appear in the source list when I use Rhapsody (it's identified as an "Apple Ipod").
    Also, Itunes DOES recognize a DIFFERENT IPOD nano (also first generation). Therefore, I'm 99% sure the problem is the IPOD itself, and not my computer or the cable.
    I have formatted and restored it several times, always with the same result.
    I've tried this with 3 different computers, always with the same result.
    Also, when I plug the IPOD into the computer, Windows offers to use either Windows Media Player or Rhapsody to manage it, but does not even offer to use ITUNES.
    I've searched the Knowledge Base, as well as this forum, but have not yet found a case where anyone gets as far as me without their problem being resolved.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    When your iPod is set to automatically update with iTunes, it will eject when finished and disappear from the source list. If you want it to stay in the source list, you can either check 'Enable Disk Use' or set your iPod to manual updating in iPod Options.
    Note that if you use either of these, you'll need to manually eject your iPod before you can disconnect it.

  • Ipod icon not in 'source' list

    HELP! On accedent...(I didn't think I needed to read the manual because by brother was showing me how to work it) I disconected the iPod when it said 'do not disconnect' just a couple of times. Is that a big deal? Only once has the little ipod icon appeared in the 'source' list. It isn't appearing now. It won't download or upload (or whatever) my other songs that I just put into my library. I tried 'authorizing' and 'deauthorizing'. It worked once, but it won't work now. Apparently, a bunch of people are having trouble with iTunes 5.0. Apple are you out there? What do I do? ANYBODY...PLEASE HELP!!!

    Never mind I sort of fixed that. I REregistered my ipod, and now it recognizes my ipod. But it won't let me load on the songs I bought from the music store, only the songs from my cd's. I tried to deauthorize my computer, but I don't think that did anything. That may be because I don't have the main desktop, I have my own seperate desktop. If you know what to do...please tell me!!

  • Keeping iPod Nano in iTunes Source List

    Does anyone know how to do this, i also have an iPod Shuffle which lets me do this in iPod options but but Nano doesn't give me this option...Can anyone help?

    Anthony,
    Only shuffles have this "feature"...since regular iPods can sync against any number of selected playlists, one really doesn't need this capability as it less powerful than what is provided.

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    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.

    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:

  • Source of supply () not in source list (27423/0010) despite source list req

    Hello,
    We have soon upgrading APO in 7.0 version.
    We have a SAP R/3 in 4.7 version.
    APO created Purchase Requirements in SAP R3 with two kind of processes :
    - Heuristics
    - Deployment
    In SAP R3 we have several database to maintain in order to affect correctly these Purchase Requirements to the good plant and the good scheduling agreement :
    - info record
    - scheduling agreement
    - source list in wich we attached the number of the scheduling agreement
    When we manage the heuristic, there is no problem .The Purchase Requirements are send via the C5 transaction.
    When we manage the deplyment, we have the message "Source of supply () not in source list (27423/0010) despite source list req" - The purchase requirements of the deployment are sent directly to SAP R3.
    I tried to compare the database of a OK item and a NOK item but I can'tfound something different.
    Have you ever had this kind of problem ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Jingco,
    I guess you have the PIR( Pur.Info record maintained ) in R/3 and CIFed to generate the Ext. Procurement relationship.
    Please check that the Source of Suppy in Source list (ME01) is same as maintained in PIR.
    revert back if still it doesn't help.
    Regards

  • IPod Nano not showing movie artwork in list view.

    h title says it all. If you look at the photo over here, you see the videos icons are not displayed at the bottom of the screen in list view. Normally artworks will scroll from right to left gradually if artworks are present.
    These are my own videos (no bought from itunes), and they all have artworks. These artworks shows up in itunes but not in my ipod.
    Anyone knows how to get the icon showing in ipod nano?

    Connect your iPod to the computer and when the summary comes up click on the restore button and see if that works.
