ITunes STILL doesn't recognize my nano! I need your help!

This has been a source of frustration for me for the entire day. I have spent a TOTAL 6 hours trying to resolve this problem only for it to persist. I am VERY CLOSE to giving up on this and I refuse to pay $60 for tech support. I will tell you how this came to be:
1. I realized that the middle button on my iPod brings up the Apple logo.
2. I installed the upgrade thingy and put it on my iPod nano.
3. iTunes DOES NOT RECOGNIZE my nano.
4. I spend hours starting and re-starting my computer, following ALL FIVE of the Rs. I uninstalled, re-installed, uninstalled, re-installed, etc. etc.
5. The funny thing is that iTunes recognizes my mother's iPod Shuffle but not my Nano.
I am very upset that I cannot (probably temporarily) use my Nano. It was a gift to me and I use it when I go for daily walks. This problem had started this morning on Sunday and it is still unresolved.
Please help me. I am considering having this thing exchanged for a new one.

I have the same problem and i tried everything that is on the site........... but nothing's working and im verry despaired, everytime i try to open the ipod updater it says error of service of ipod and when i try to open itunes it says that he's not connecting to the ipod but windows still recognise that the ipod is connected... i don't understand.
I've tried all the day long to make it work too but nothing's working, i really need help, i've bought it like there's two days and i would like it to work !
*im verry sorry for my english im normaly speakign french. Is there any discussions on french ??? it could be easier for me :P

HT5622 I have reset my iPhone, but later I could not activate it, it's not accepting my ID / Password. I restored it but still having the same problem. I need your help. Thank you.

Try making a new Apple ID? I don't really understand what you mean.. Make a new apple ID, log in with that one and then when you are on your phone log out of it and THEN log in our old ID? If you still can't log in the old one then it's most probably a bug or something.. Anyway.. Good luck with your problem!!

ITunes still doesn't recognize iPod Touch with Microsoft Security Essentials Installed

Just updated iTunes to v. 10.3.1.55 and still have the same problem with iTunes freezing when connecting my iTouch. It will eventually respond but never recognizes my ipod. Un-install Microsoft Security Essentials and it works fine. I have 2 other computers with the same setup (software wise) and neither of those have this issue.
Here's a thread with more details I've posted trying to find an answer to this...

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks for the suggestions, however I have already tried that and it had no effect. I've put in exclusions, and even went so far as to disable the MSE service and still have the issue. The only thing that corrects it is uninstalling MSE completely.
This USED to work fine until I updated to iTunes 10.2.2 a couple of months ago...that release seems to be when it broke.
I've even went so far as to completely reload my PC and it will work perfectly until MSE is installed....then no luck.

ITunes can't recognize iPod classic. Says to restore factory settings. Did. iTunes still doesn't recognize. Lost music on iPod.

I restored my ipod after it said to. Then i put all my music back onto it. THEN, later i tried to sync it again and i got the same error message. Only THIS TIME (now get this) i ejected it WITHOUT restoring it, and everything was erased. Completely blank iPod after ejecting it. Like i said this time i DID NOT restore it. It erased it all on its own. What do I do?

Hello ckkeith65
If you are having issues with AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe then you would need to uninstall iTunes and its associated software in the order listed in the article below and then reinstall iTunes, as it is part of the installer file.

Computer doesn't recognize my Nano but does recognize my daughters.

I've been using the computer/Nano for over a year now. All of a sudden, the computer isn't recognizing my Nano. When I connect it, no drive is assigned although a new Mass USB Storage Device does appear in Device Manager.
I tried connecting my daughter's Nano to my computer and it is recognized. I reied connecting my Nano to my daughter's computer and it is recognized. It's just my Nano on my computer.
Any suggestions?

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

ITunes still won't recognize my iPhone after I've followed every step

I purchased an iPhone4 off of a friend, he had completely restored it back to its factory settings before he sold it to me.
When I connected it to my iTunes it had asked to update it, so I did to 6.1.3. Now Every time I plug it into my computer it asks me to restore it, I click restore and it says it's updating, takes 4 hours then says there was an error. I've googled this and gone through all the steps and nothing is working. My iTunes still won't recognize my iPhone.
I had tried it on my brothers iTunes and it says "pairing record missing"
I also looked that up, followed all the different steps and nothing helped.
I've tried updating my iTunes, every time I try it crashes and says it "failed to install". nothing at all is working and I'm getting very frustrated and losing my faith in apple...
If anyone has any other idea, or advice, PLEASE let me know. it would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you
btw: I've tried the unplugging, rebooting, bluetoothing, everything I saw in the other forums and nothing helped.

why would your be frustrated and losing your faith with Apple? Sounds like your friend sold you a jailbroken phone.

I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2. I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

Russ and Luis,
I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in. Still no luck. I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out.
Another piece of the puzzle is that footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3. Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX. The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
Any ideas? (screen shots below)
Thanks.
Peace, Huey
FYI Here is what Canon says
"There is another trick that works sometimes though. Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility. Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
I did do this but no results. Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX. I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that.

ITunes sync doesn't recognize changed groupes in Address Book

iTunes sync doesn't recognize changed groupes in Address Book. What to do?
I've cleared All Contacts on the iPad2 so it is blank now. I want to sync just a particular new group which is the combination of two former groupes which didn't sync correctly.

To be more clear (in hopes you can get it to work!) :
Under Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
1. Be sure to CHECK the box that says autocomplete addresses under the Addressing heading.
2. Quit Mail and restart.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest quitting Mail and trashing the Preference file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist). Then restart Mail and make sure the box is checked as above and restart Mail. Note that all preferences will be reset to the default and you may need to reconfigure Mail the way you like it. You can always drag the plist file back and restart Mail.app to restore your previous settings.

ITunes Connect doesn't recognize iBooks update

Hi,
I'm trying to update an eBook (created with iBooks Author, .iba format) to the 1.2 version.
I follow all the steps correctly with iTunes Producer, it finished uploading and I hear the signal and see the window saying that everything went good.
But after that, nothing happens, iTunes Connect doesn't recognize any update so it turns out I have a book out of control.
It's very strange, as 3 weeks ago I updated another different book and I didn't have any problem.
Is there is something wrong with Apple Servers? Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I've contacted Apple by phone yesterday and they told me ther was a problem when creating the EIN.
In fact, we gave them the name of our company with spaces while they wrote them without spaces.
So Apple didn't understand why it wasn't the same.
They told me it surely be good in a few days.
Just have a look at it first.
Thanks
