Ipod Nano not recognized on my computer

My iPod Nano doesn't show up on My Computer or in the ITunes store under devices.
A popup recommends reconnecting the device but it does not help.  It then says to uninstall and reinstall Itunes.
This device used to be recognized on a different pc but we changed out pcs.  Is a Nano only supposed to be recognized on only one Pc?

Try one or more of the following
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes - Windows XP | Windows Vista or 7 | Mac OS X
> Reset iPod (will not delete everything)
> Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if iDevice shows
> Restore iPod (will delete everything)
> Make sure iTunes and/or iOS firmware is up to date

Hope this helps.

  • Why is the ipod nano not recognized on my computer in order to sync songs from m music library?

    I need help. I was able to put songs on the ipod nano from songs that i bought from itunes... but how can i put songs on the nano from my music library already on my computer. I have tried dragging the songs to the folder.  I have tried copying songs to the itunes cloud but the nano does not show the songs. How do i put songs on the nano that are from my cds? When I try to sync the songs, the nano is not recognized.

    Is it saying "An iPod has been detected but could not be identified properly"? Or is something a bit different going on?

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

  • New Ipod nano not recognized by my computer, asking for disk!!`

    I bought my husband a new nano for Father's Day. I am having serious problems installing it through itunes. We have two other nanos that gave us no problem. Our computer keeps saying to put in the CD, and when I check the device manager under my computer, it says the driver is missing for this ipod. I would appreciate any computer savvy help with how to remedy this problem. Thanks

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • TS1410 my ipod is not recognized by my computer

    my ipod is not recognized by my computer?

    I realize this question is six months old, but just in case this helps someone. My PC suddenly decided not to recognize my IPod. I jumped through all the hoops for 24 hours trying all the suggestions and then just sat and took inventory of everything notable that was different from the last time I had synched it (a year earlier). I'd finally freed myself of Norton and installed Avast and several sites mentioned that as a possibility but no. In the end it was the new HP Officejet Pro 8600 software. I did a custom install and opted for the USB rather than wireless hookup. First off it took my old Canon scanner hostage and choked it into retirement. Then it started fondling Photoshop and searching for images in every file it could access. But the best trick was that it will just not let you synch your IPod for love nor money. Now I am a dinosaur and still use XP but I'm pretty sure the same thing happens with Windows 7. Fortunately, the fix is easy enough ***doink***, yank the printer's USB cable out of your PC and everything is fine.

  • My ipod is not recognized by my computer

    Help! My ipod is not recognized by my computer. I cant restore it or download on it. It was working fine until yesterday.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

    I supposed you have downloaded and installed iTunes 7 on your PC.
    It can be either a problem of your PC or the iPod, let have a prove.
    Try to find any computer (of course with iTunes preinstalled), if your iPod showed up there, then it is a problem on your computer, read this

  • 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?
