ITunes directory on iPod nano device not showned
I have a iPod naono 4th generation. I nedd to transfer the iPod Music Library from the iPod (using as a disk enabled) to my iTunes library. But following the instructions to do it I must see the iTunes directory on thr iPod nano device. I cannot see this directory on the iPod nano disk. My operating system is Windows XP. How can I visualize the iTunes directory on the iPod nano ? The question is: how I can transfer my music library from the iPod nano 4th generation to my iTunes library ?

Hello roby000,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
You will also have to show hidden files in order to access the music directly on your iPod. By default, Windows hides hidden files and folders (thus the name). Go to Options (in the Tools menu), and on the View tab, check “Show Hidden Files and Folders”.
For more help on manually copying music from your iPod to your computer, see this article.

I have the latest version of itunes but my ipod touch is not shown as a device, previously been connercted to an ipod nano and now have the new touch
Try here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
A Nano and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPad, iPhone) use different drivers. -
HT2292 After the Itunes update my ipod nano is not being recognised by the computer or Itunes.
It says and ipod has been detected but it could not be identified properly. I have tried all the solutions on the website but nothing is working since the update

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Macbook pro ipod nano does not work after plugging in
I plugged in an iPod nano to my MacBook Pro which has two operating systems, one is OS and the other is Windows. I don't know which generation the iPod nano is. The PC side of the MacBook Pro is working but the OS side is not working. It allows me to login and then shows a blank white screen with the pointer cursor.
The iPod nano was plugged in to add music from iTunes. I plugged it in, opened iTunes, and the iPod nano was not recognized on iTunes or on the computer in Finder. I unplugged the iPod nano and closed iTunes. When I opened iTunes again, it gave me an error and will not open iTunes again. I restarted the computer and this is when the OS side stopped working and the PC side continued to work. I was able to load OS in Safe Mode though.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help. Thanks!I had the same issue...of course i went swimming with my iPod but still. If it is the battery that is giving you trouble then go back to your local apple store or call them. Ask what the most reliable place for iPod repair is. A second option (what I did) is to go into the iPod recycle program. They take your old iPod and either give you a discount on the new one of the same style or a discount on a new one of the 3rd gen. I recomend the first option if your iPod is unused.

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes on new laptop. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...
Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok. -

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -

My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?
I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple. -
I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

my ipod nano is not being recognized by windows 7 when I now try to sync. Is the only way to fix this to uninstall and reinstall itunes and do I then have to redownload all my music?
Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

IPod nano (6gen) not recognized in iTunes
Before I recently upgraded too osx 10.6.5 and itunes 10.1 I had no problems syncronizing my ipod (6th generation) with itunes. Immediatly after doing it my problem started. Strangely enough my iPhone shows up and syncronizes, and if I connect my same ipod nano to my other computer (macbook) the ipod nano shows up in itunes. My iPod nano is recognized in finder.
I have tried to follow different troubleshooting-instructions given by apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410). I have tried resetting the ipod, reinstalled itunes, restarting the computer, downgrading itunes (didnt work because of library was in 10.1), switching usb port and using differant cable. I have also tried to connect another iPod nano (6th generation) to my computer, but it does not show up - just like my own.
My computer is a Mac Pro, but it think is strange that it should have anything to do with this, when it worked before - and it is only a problem for ipod nano a and not iphone. I have all software upgrades neseccary.
After hours of troubleshooting I now hope any of you guys have any help to offer me. I would appreciate very much!Dear torkildsen,
Please obtain the solution to the matter at the below.
1. Reset your iPod.
2. Retry with a different USB or FireWire port. (To verify whether your iPod syncs via FireWire or USB, see the table in the Additional Information section below.)
3. Restart your computer and make sure you have the latest software updates installed.
4. Remove iTunes from your /Applications folder. Then reinstall the latest version of iTunes software.
5. Restore your iPod using another Mac that is able to recognize it. See “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” in the user's guide.
Or you can use other backup software to transfer iPod contents to iTunes or computer. Follow this reviews about [how to transfer music/videos/photos from iPod/iPhone to Mac?|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod/iPhone/iPadTo_Computer_Transfer_%26_Backup_SoftwareReviews] It includes the transferring of music, photos, videos, SMS, Contact ect. between iPod/iPhone/iPad and computer(PC or Mac).
Have a good luck.
