Ipod won't register on the computer

i have a new ipod nano, and when i hook it up to my computer, it doesn't show up anywhere that my ipod is hooked into the computer. i've bought new usb cords, and tried resetting it many times, but nothing has helped. i can't restore it, because the computer doesn't register my ipod as being hooked up. any ideas on what i should do?

Once downloaded, start iTunes and then connect iPod.

  • Ipod won't connect to the computer at all.

    My 3rd Generation iPod nano won't connect to the computer at all. Therefore it has no battery for me too be able to reset or try to do anything with it.
    I've only been advised to make sure that i have the most recent version of iTunes?
    Could anyone help please?
    Thanks, Hollie.

    Try uninstalling the drivers,
    Plug in your iPod
    Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
    that will bring you to the Computer Management
    On the left hand side click on device manager
    on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
    right click and select uninstall
    Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
    Windows should automatically start installing them again
    if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    and choose scan for hardware changes
    If that doesn't work
    Go back into Computer Management
    Click on Disk Management on the right
    and on the left it should say your iPod
    Right click and go into change drive letter and paths
    click on the change button
    Change it to something like N or M
    Click ok, you will get a message saying "changing the drive letter may cause the program to no longer run are you sure you want to change this drive letter"
    click ok
    then restart your computer

  • IPod won't plug in with computer that has iPad as the account

    I have an iPad and an iPod and I have an account with the iPod in an old computer that doesn't work anymore so when I tried plugging the iPod in the other computer that has an account with my iPad nothing pops up or anything. I want to be able to plug it in and have the account there or at least get my music on their. Is there anything I can try?
    Please help!

    (Yes, I tried connecting the iPod in disk mode and the computer still crashed on me.)
    I am glad to say that my computer finally complies with my iPod, and it is able to show in iTunes and in My Computer. I am not glad to say that I "accidentally" did a system recovery on my computer..I tried to do a System Restore to a previous restore point in my XP, but that didn't work well. I tried a System Recovery, but I didn't expect the System Recovery to be different. Apparently, it restored the computer to its factory settings and I've lost basically everything. :-\ My problem probably stemmed from something I downloaded; I'm not sure what it was unfortunately, but everything's resolved. Sort of.
    I guess I answered my own question here..:P
