ITunes 12 does not detect my iPod nano

Hi there, please help!
6th generation iPod Nano is not detected in iTunes 12.0.1.26 BUT does show up in Finder (OS X Yosemite 10.10).
iPod 4 IS detected in iTunes.
I use my iPod a lot and would love to be able to update it! I have already searched for an answer and tried various solutions but to no avail so far.
Many thanks.

Have just plugged in an old 1st generation iPod Touch - this is also detected by iTunes, just NOT the Nano

  • Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano

    itunes does not recognize my ipod nano 6, it is a used one and has 1600 plus songs, it shows the songs, but won't let me do anything with them

    I had this exact problem. I had to plug the iPod into a USB port on the back of the computer tower not the fron ones. Hope this helps.

  • ITunes does not detect my iPod-- please read and help?!

    I tried all the help Apple told me to do. I reset my iPod(didn't work) and then I downloaded the newest version of iTunes. That didn't work either. My iTunes still does not detect my iPod. The newly downloaded iTunes was at least supposed to tell me that my iPod was "corrupted" but it didn't. So... I'm not sure that it is. But that is the only reason Apple tells you could cause this. So yeah, I'm pretty lost right now! Does anybody know anything to help(by the way, I own a 5th generation iPod nano)? Thanks

    Take a look at this web page and see if it helps. Some of the suggestions are ones you say you've already tried, but there are other suggestions, one of which may help:
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
    Good luck.

  • ITunes does not detect my ipod

    Much to my chagrin I made the mistake of upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 7. Then I d/l the latest version of iTunes and now iTunes can not detect my iPod. I receive the message "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install iPod's software."
    I have completely unistalled iTunes numerous times and then ran into issues attempting to reinstall. I attempted to change the registry key which did not work so had to install Windows 7 again to fix issues.
    When I run the iTunes diagnostics it tells me I have 2 issues:
    1. iTunes Helper is not running
    2. No iPhone or iPod found
    I have attempted all the suggestions that come up in the help section for "iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes". I am hoping that someone out there can help me. I am going insane trying to fix this issue and am cursing myself for jumping on the Windows 7 bandwagon. At least I had all the Windows Vista issues figured out and my computer actually worked.

    Does anyone have any ideas????

  • ITunes does not recognize my iPod Nano Gen. 4

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina with the latest version of iTunes installed on it and an iPod Nano Gen. 4. The problem that I have is as follows: My Mac does recognize my iPod but just as storage device. iTunes does open when I plug in my iPod but I cannot find any iPod icon on iTunes and therefore cannot upload anything to the iPod via iTunes.
    I have performed a reset procedure on the iPod, restarted my Mac, and tried out different USB cables and ports but iTunes still does not recognize my iPod.
    How do I solve this problem?

  • ITunes does not detect iPhones/iPods - tried everything

    Okay, so 2 months ago I got my new Macbook Pro 17". iTunes wouldn't detect my iphone or any other iphone. I tried everything suggested on these forums (hopefully not true), but couldn't get it to work. I gave up and was hoping some sort of itunes update would solve it. Well itunes has been updated and even the OS has been updated to Snow Leopard. It didn't help
    I am willing to try anything you suggest, so please keep them coming. Really want to get this sorted now.
    Thanks so much for all your help.

    Great to hear you have resolved the problem. I am running Tiger 10.4.7 not your 10.6.1 which I beleive is Leopard which I cannot update to as my computer is not suitable. Have you heard if anyone with my OS version has had success. I have tried removing iTunes v9 and then downloading v8.2.1, however I am still unable to gat iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone and iTunes does not acknowledge the connection in the side bar.
    Suggestions please.

  • My computer and itunes does not recognise my ipod nano

    I had to return a faulty ipod nano. The replacement isn't recognised in My Computer or in iTunes.
    I think this might be to do with the registration of the first nano still being recognised?
    I have reinstalled itunes and followed the 5R's in the manual, but the ipod is still not recognised eg. Will not sync.
    A dialogue box displays the following message:
    'an ipod has been detected,but it could not be identified properly...'
    Can anybody help?

    I am facing the same problem, buddy. My iPod nano is not recognized by my MacBook Pro nor by iTunes.
    I tried everything suggested in trouble shooting. Looks like, I will have to visit an apple store soon to get it replaced/exchanged.

  • Itunes is not detecting my ipod nano 7th G (on windows 8.1)

    Hi everyone,
    Since I've installed the last windows 8.1 release, when I plug my ipod, I have the following message "An ipod has been detected but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipode, then try again. If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes then install it again."
    Of course I did everything written but it still not working, so is there any body who can help me ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • My Computer/iTunes does not detect my iPod -- week long problem

    I have been trying so many different things. the 5 R's. Reinstalling USB Mass storage device driver. Tried the C:\Windows\INF directory for updating the driver for the iPod under device manager. Reinstalled iTunes, and iPod (from disc) many times. Any solution I could find i tried, but nothing worked. I know the usb cable is not the problem.
    someone please help me with this.

    I really don't believe in Vista that you would need a driver that is from a disk. The latest drivers are installed in Windows and it should have recognized it without insertion of a disk. It may be that the driver on the disk is the one causing the conflict for the device. It may be something older that is causing a conflict in Vista. I've not tried to connect my iPod to my laptop (the only machine I have with Vista), but I do have iTues installed on it. I didn't have to insert a disk with my XP machine when I got my iPod.
    You said the iPod shows up in device manager. Since you say you tried to reinstall the USB driver, you must have uninstalled the iPod in device manager? If not, you might want to connect the iPod, and then go into device manager and remove it. Let it try and recognize the new device. Do you get an error when it recognizes the new hardware, saying it won't work properly? Let me know and I'll try and work further.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden

    Hello, My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden.  Today before I went running I downloaded some new podcasts to listen to.  I plugged in my iPod and for some reason iTunes could not recognize my iPod nano.  I run iTunes on Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro and have successfully synced my iPod before with this system.  I do not know why it doesn't work now.
    Per the instructions on Apple Help, I went through the troubleshoot steps (i.e., restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, updating iTunes, etc.).  When all that failed, I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but this still does not work.
    I cannot afford to purchase help through Apple, but I like running and I like listening to new stuff when I run.  Can someone please help me on this board?  I am pretty good with walking myself through simple computer steps.
    Thank you in advance!

    Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
    Putting iPod into disk mode.
    Still no joy, see this.
