Ipod nano not recognized by Windows 7 USB
I am having trouble getting iTunes to recognize my ipod nano after installing 11.02.26. It seems I go through this after every update of itunes. I get the following message:
An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again.
If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install Itunes again.
I have tried all of this to no avail.

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?
How to reset iPod
Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

7th gen iPod Nano not recognized with Windows 8
I am running Win8 and am having trouble getting my 7th gen Nano to be recognized either as a device on my PC or in iTunes. Is the Nano compatible with Win8? I have worked thru many of the troubleshooting guides and Apple support pages. Have the most current version of iTunes and have stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service all to no avail. Any other suggestions?
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 Nano not recognized by Windows
Thousands of others have posted about this problem on this and other websites.
When I plug-in my iPod, Windows provides a message that it is an "unrecognized USB device". (This happens in XP and Vista.) Device Manager shows lists it as an Unrecognized Device with no driver. I have spent at least 10 hours reading web posts from users with the same problem and trying possible fixes. None has worked.
At the local Apple store the reps said that they would provide a 50% discount on a replacement. This policy seems unfair to customers. The thousands of posts suggest the product is defective. How many other thousands of customers paid for a replacement without posting? Now that I know of the defect, why would I ever buy another one?Have a look at this document

Ipod disabled & not recognized in windows 7 or itunes
My son disabled his ipod touch 4th gen trying to get into it, he planned to give it to his cousin so I just removed the device from his Apple acnt. However, it's still disabled & now not recognized in Windows 7 or by I-Tunes on any computer or usb we try, but it does charge by usb or wall charger. I am not super familiar with Apple products & need some advice if anyone has any. Thanks!
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
