Ipod nano not showing up on Itunes - PLEASE HELP!
I recently had a problem with my nano 4 GB so I restored it to its original factory settings. Now when I plug it in to the computer it shows up in My COmputer but NOT in Itunes. I tried the troubleshooting techniques on the apple ipod suppport page for this problem and they didnt work. When I plug in my 4 GB Mini ipod, it shows up on Itunes so Its not a problem with itunes or the cable.
SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!! i would reeeallly like to avoid having it serviced. THank you!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would try formatting your iPod then restoring it again. If that doesnt work, just post.

Ipod nano not showing up in ITunes 9.2.1.5 on Windows XP
My mom has a 4GB 1st generation nano and I've been trying to add new songs via iTunes. I have tried all the suggestions for "iPod appears in Windows but not iTunes" article and I still cannot get her ipod to show up in iTunes. The computer I'm trying to get the ipod to work on is a desktop computer running Windows XP. I tried my mom's ipod on my laptop computer thinking maybe it was a problem with the ipod or the cable. It worked just fine. I have Windows 7 running an identical version of iTunes. I'm a grad student and I'm just home for the summer. I need solve this problem and fix my mom's ipod so it will work on her own computer while I'm away. Is there anything else I can do to get her iPod to show up in iTunes?
have you tried to reset the ipod?

My ipod nano has been working fine for at least three years. All of a sudden I get two messages. First, "there is a problem with this drive, scan and fix it".
And, an Ipod has been detected but can't be identified properly. It's a 6th generation nano and I have Windows 8. Any thoughts?Hello, oakbay.

Ipod is not showing up in itunes! HELP!
No matter what I do the ipod up in computer as a camera and doesn't show up in itunes. WHAT DO I DO??? It has been a few weeks of hopeless internet searching and frustration. I also have a PC. Thanks.
This was happening to me, too. It started when I upgraded to iOS 6.
My iPod Nano still worked when hooked up to my PC with Windows 7 and iTunes 10.7.0.21. I hooked the USB cable up to another USB port on my PC and after ten seconds or so, iTunes was able to detect an iPod in recovery mode. I allowed it to restore the iPod and now it's working again.
It's a baffling solution, because the other iPod was working just fine hooked up to the other USB port.
After restoring the iPod and restoring my backup, I tried hooking the USB cable back up to the other USB port. It still works, even on the port where it had problems earlier. Go figure.
After all this, my iPod touch 4th generation is running iOS 6 successfully. -

Ipod is not showing up in itunes
my ipod is not showing up in itunes. What's going on?
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts. -

6th Gen ipod nano not showing up at all.
I recently bought an ipod nano 6th gen off Amazon and it turned on and is function fine, but I can't sync it with my current library. I'm using the same cord I use on my ipod touch so I assume it's fine there, I've just updated my itunes library and I've already searched through device manager, My computer and itunes to find the device, but it's not showing up anywhere. Any help please?
Me neither. I know the USB cable works okay with your iPod Touch, but can you try another cable just to see if that makes a difference?
Also look at the Nano's dock connector to make sure it is clean and clear of debris or damage.
And if nothing else, return it while you still can for a refund or replacement.
