Itunes will not recognize my new Ipod Nano

It will charge but my computer says a driver needs to be installed but it cannot find it and iTunes does not recognize it at all. Any help?

Okay. Maybe they're looking for the usbaapl.sys driver as well.
Try to bring the Hardware wizard up again. This time browse to:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
... and select the usbaapl.sys file.
Any better luck with that one?

ITunes will not recognize my new iPhone 4

I just got an iPhone 4 from Best Buy today. Everything has worked fine throughout the day until I tried adding my music on to my phone. I have an iPod Nano that has worked fine with my computer in the past, always synced smoothly when needed. When I try syncing and adding music from my iTunes to my iPhone, iTunes does not recognize my iPhone at all. It does not show up under 'Devices' in iTunes. My 'Computer' (Windows 7) recognizes the iPhone as a device, but nothing in iTunes. I've updated my iPhone software, uninstalled all Apple programs, and reinstalled all of them back on to my computer, with no luck.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:

MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

My iTunes won't recognize my new iPod nano 5th generation

Alright, my parents got my the new iPod nano for Christmas, and when I connected it to my Windows Vista, to charge and sync, it was charged, but it was not recognized in iTunes. I tried updating and the 5R's but it wouldn't work. iTunes is acting like it doesn't exist. Help?

I had a similar issue with a XP machine. The Nano charged but I never got the onscreen setup instructions and Itunes did not list the device. I tried a lot of technical stuff with no luck and finally spoke with an Apple Expert.
Here was the fix for me:
I downloaded Itunes to another computer (also XP, same firewall, etc). Plugged in the Nano and miraculously I was able to set it up, name the device and also update it with the latest software. When I plugged it back into the PC it recognized it just fine. Must be something flukey with the setup or maybe the update helped fix a few bugs.
If you have other computers available, try it on them first with latest Itunes version. Hope this helps.

ITunes will not recognize my 2G iPod Touch

Just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64bit and IE9. I have dowloaded latest version of iTunes 10 and my problem is that when I plug in my iPod Touch it will not appear as a device in iTunes. It shows up in mycomputer as a digital camera but say's it's my iPod and has an iPod icon next to it. When I connected the first time it worked just fine but I have not been able to get it to recognize since. I am not getting any errors and the autoplay window does not pop up when it's plugged in. Had a similar problem with my old laptop (part of the reason I got the new one) but after unplugging it a few times or restarting the computer it would always work, not so on the new machine. I should mention it works just fine on my old desktop. Tried a few things I saw in some other threads but nothing has worked. Not a techie but I can follow directions. Please help, this is really irritating, got a new computer so I wouldn't have these problems anymore!

I've tried all 4 ports on my computer, none of them work. When I plug in my older ipod nano, itunes recognizes it instantly.

Try this otherwise surf this site as there are is a lot of helpful material about this very problem
Plug in Ipod and when windows recognises it right click on the ipod in my computer then select format. You will get several options first try selecting quick format. then exit and restart itunes. Itunes will say it needs to reset factory settings. Do this and follow prompts. This did not work for me. But it may for you. I had to do a full format inside my computer which simply means that I did not tick the quick format box. Then repeated the itunes process. This still did not work so as a last ditch effort after all this I did another quick format in my computer and this finally worked .
So three windows reformats and three itunes resets and finally itunes accepted my ipod again

Windows or iTunes will not recognise my new ipod...

Hi,
Looking for some help here! Tried all the iTunes help tips and cannot seem to get anywhere.
I have a new 80gig iPod, and am trying to use it on my laptop through XP. I have already an older 3rd generation 20gig player which I have been using fine, but now I cannot get the new software/pc to recognise the new iPod.
Am I missing something majorly obvious - is there a way to get it to 'unrecognise' my old one and only the new?
I have previously had no problems using multiple iPods on this machine.
Any help greatfully received before I go out of my mind!!
Thanks and Happy New Year, Karl

Itunes will not detect my new nano. HELP! I have a dell with vista. my old shuffles work fine with itunes, but it will no longer detect my nano. Apple says my nano is fine.

I've worked with Apple 2 times. The first time we spent 2 hours on the phone uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, quicktime and other software and it worked for a while. Now, once again, itunes will not recognize my 6th generation nano. My old shuffle works fine. I sent the nano to apple and they shipped it back stating it was fine after upgrading firmware. However, it still will not be recognized from itunes. Please help, I'm totally lost and disappointed after spending money and so much wasted time on this thing.....

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.
