Itunes and computer not recognising nano 6th gen?

my itunes is not recognising my ipod nano. i have tried the restore (which would not work with my pc it is synced with, had to use a different one to restore) and every other troubleshooting option apart from reinstalling itunes, which is not an option for me as it affects other users itunes libraries on the pc. the cord works with other apple ipods. the nano works with other computers. i have since uninstalled the ipod nano in computer device manager, but am unsure of how to reinstall. now itunes AND my computer are not recognising the ipod. what steps can i take to make it work again? also, if it helps, it comes up with a message saying the device has been recognised but then has an error message saying it wont work and if the problem persists to reinstall itunes, which i will state again, i am not willing to do. last resort. thank you to anyone who helps.

It works the same way it has always worked.
Connect the device to the computer.
Select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
There is no "download" option when an iDevice is connected as content does not get downloaded to devices. Content gets downloaded from iTunes to the computer.
Try using the correct terminology and possibly reading the User's Guide... that may allow you to figure this out on your own or ask an intelligent question to get a resolution.

HT1414 new iphone 3, had trouble setting up, took about 5 hours and call to Texas, finally sorted by following morning. Now after 5 weeks No Service suddenly appears and no closing down etc makes any difference. Connect to itunes and SIM not recognised!

what do you do when new iphone 3 will not accept SIM card which it has been doing since I bought it 6 weeks ago but now suddenly No Service and will not recognise SIM. Had this trouble on initial start up, took a 3 hour conversation with Apple USA to get it going. Can't connect to itunes because it won't recognise the SIM. Cannot remember what we did to get it going last time as it took so long and we did so many different things. Any suggestions other than put it in the bin!

First, though the phone is "new" to you, it really is a 5 year old piece of equipment. Ancient by current standards.
Have you obtained a replacement SIM from your carrier?

Itunes won't recognize ipod nano (6th gen) HELP :(

I have restarted the computer and done everything the 6th gen troubleshooter has told me. I have a packard bell desktop PC, the operating system is Windows Vista and all the USB ports are working. I previously had an ipod on my laptop but itunes did the same thing so I synced it into my desktop and it worked perfectly. I got a new ipod, exactly the same, and plugged it in only to find this again. I have tried everything i need some help. Could it be my white ipod charger cable?

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.

Itunes and Updater not recognising Ipod

Hi everyone!
I wanted to share with you my problem. I've been reading for a long and trying everything: 5R's and even re-installing windows, but nothing seems to work.
I have a opperating system Windows Xp SP2 and NOD32 as antivirus. I was using my Ipod correctly and it was working great. The problem is when I tried to plug it to another laptop under windows. It didn't recognise it, and when I try back on mine, is not recognised again. Itunes doesn't show it, Updater gives errors (such as another program is using Ipod),It charges and hopefully the Ipod works correctly.
What can I do? I'm thinking about asking AppleStore to change it becouse it's still under the warranty. Do you think that with a new Ipod I will be able to connect it agin to my pc?
Please try to help me! I don't want to change my Ipod and wait again!

Any halp for that?

I think this might help!
1. Go to My Computer
2. Go to Manage and then Device Manager (if you have Vista just click on System Properties up at the top and then on the left-hand side you should see Device Manager.)
3. In Device Manager you should see portable devices or something similar and there will be a thing directly under it that says unrecognizable device or once again something similar.
4. Click on that and you should get an option that tells you you don't have the device driver for the unrecognizable device, and you should get the option to download that.
5. I just downloaded the driver and my computer automatically found it on the internet, and now it works.

ITunes and Computer not Recognizing iPhone

I've had iPhone for a few weeks and no major problems. However, today I attached it to my computer to move some new songs from iTunes to iPhone and iTunes did not recognize my iPhone and my computer gave me the "found new hardware" message. What's up with this?

Shake and shuffle not working (nano 5th gen)?

Hi all,
First time to forum and first Ipod. My shake and shuffle works perfectly for the first few minutes after pushing a button then it wouldn't work again until I've push a button again (the nano seems to go into sleep mode even though music is playing). I've checked all my settings and even tried it with the power management off. Is this normal? If I have to push a button I might as well push the skip button. Its not making sense to me. BTW I did reboot the ipod.
Thanks
Paul

I upgraded yesterday and Shake to Shuffle isn't even in my settings let alone works. Does anybody know anything about this? The rest of the upgrade with the exception of the Copy and Paste feature are working exactly as they should.

My battery is not being charged through charger actually it is being charged but really very slow and computer not recognising device after update to ios 6

my phone battery is not being charged through the laptop or when it is switched off the phone is being charged and after its on it does not show charging icon but charges at a real slow speed pls help as facing this froblemm since ios6 update

Hello,
I wrote on another tread with same subject about month or two ago and until now, no one replied. I had the same problem. Today, I was at the friend who has HP laptop. We tried to solve the problem and tried it as follows:
1. My battery in my laptop with my charger - not charging (appears in windows battery charging but all the times it remains at 90 %).
2. His battery in his laptop with his charger - everything is working fine (this is just for the records)
3. My laptop, his battery his charger - everything is fine.
4. His laptop, my battery and his charger - everything is working fine
5. My laptop, my battery and his charger - everything is OK.
I didn't try putting my charger in his laptop with his battery inside. But from above, it seams that something is wrong with the charger. Does anyone have some explanation? This is totally weird problem. Is there any logic in the charger that can prevent somehow battery charging? I am waiting another friend to bring his laptop and charger to assure that everything is OK with my motherboard and battery ( after all, charger is the cheapest, isn't it?) Since I'm electrical engineer, i would like to hear some explanation for this problem.

TS1410 My iTunes will not recognize my iPod Nano 6th gen.   It has worked in the past and it works with my iPod 4th gen. I've gone through the troubleshooting steps as suggested, but still -- nothing. Now, what??

iTunes will not recognize my Nano 6th gen. as a device. It has been recognized in the past and iTunes does recognize my Nano 4th gen. The device connects to the Mac and charges allright. All of the functions on the Nano work but want to modify my music, I'm tired of the same songs etc.

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.

My computer stopped recognizing my 6th gen nano. i have unstalled and reinstalled itunes. any other suggestions.

My computer stopped recognizing my 6th gen nano. I have un then reinstalled itunes as I was prompted. Still nothing. My account is up to date and my last purchase was a few weeks ago. Apple wants me to purchase @ 29.99 an opportunity to speak to a tech. Hoping someone out there can offer some assistance. Thanks.

Hi jim2744,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano not appearing in iTunes when it is connected, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPod nano (6th generation) - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have iTunes ver 10 on a PC with Playlists which do not sync to ITouch or Nano (6th Gen). All the music does not appear and the playlists do not appear at all. I have selected to manually manage music on the sum tab

I have iTunes ver 10 on a PC with Playlists which do not sync to an Itouch or Nano (6th Gen). Also, all the music does not appear when I check entire library and there is enough memory on the device. When I select to manually manage music on the summary tab and selected playlists on the music tab nothing changes. Either way all the music isn't on either device and the playlists are not on either device. Please advise next steps. Thank you.

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

IPod Nano 6th Gen not syncing and prompted to re-install iTunes

my iPod Nano 6th Gen connects on my computer but not recognized by iTunes. I have already tried reinstalling the software as prompted by it but nothing happens

iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.
You can send feedback on the upgrade here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I'm hoping enough legacy iPod users will speak up that they'll rethink and/or fix it.
