ITunes won't recognize my new Nano (already have ipod 5.0)

Hello-
I installed the software for my new nano. When I attach the nano, iTunes says that something is wrong with the software and that I need to re-install iTunes.
My 5.0 ipod still connects fine. My main question is: what is the trick to having iTunes recognize 2 different ipods?
Also, will reinstalling iTunes affect my playlists, library, podcast settings, etc?
Thanks for any help

My Itunes Won't Recognize The Music I Already Have!

My computer I had my Itunes program on crashed and I installed it on a new computer and now i still have the music on there but the new Itunes won't recognize it. And it won't allow me to put new songs on there. What's up?

i will suggest you to follow this article from the apple's knowledge base. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303635.
Most important thing when you are adding music to the itunes library by doing "Add folder to library " be sure to have this option checked "copy files to itunes music folder when adding to library " , its under Advanced menu in itunes preferences.

My iTunes won't recognize my new iPhone + "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" error

I bought a new iPhone and already have an Apple ID & Password & iTune account. When I plugged my new iPhone I kept getting a "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" error messages. They keep popping out. Plus iTune won't recognize my Apple ID (I don't want a new one, since it has the payment info and all). Anyone can help?

You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:

ITunes won't recognize my new router

http://www.linksysbycisco.com/EU/en/products/WRT54GL
I recently set up this router at my house and so far it's been working great with the only issue being me having to push the router reset button everytime I turn on my computer after having stopped using the router for awhile.
Problem is that even if I am connected to the internet, itunes doesn't recognize my new connection and because of this it won't connect to the store/internet. I have found no setting to choose an internet.

Thanks for the help, and I agree I don't like having to push the rest button but I didn't really know where to go for help
Here's the test results...I took out my IP address because I can't help but feel that's not something I should pos ton the internet. Something I noticed before but forgot about was that if I click on the itunes store it actually loads the store...even though itunes says it can't connect.

My itunes won't recognize my new iphone 5.

I have a MacBook with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and an itunes 9.2. I tried to plug in my new iphone 5 into my itunes, but it only charges it and doesn't sync it or recognize it.

Of course it won't recognize it. Your system doesn't meet the system requirements.

Itunes won't recognize my new ipod

I gave my cousin a new 3rd gen nano. Itunes is fine but the device simply shows an ipod and brings up the agreement. the choice is 'save' or 'cancel.' cancel does nothing and save sends me to a save as a doc. i've updated both itunes and ipod software and reset everything yet nothing seems to work.
help!

Your screen resolution may be preventing you from seeing the entire agreement screen to pick the button to agree.
So change your screen resolution to something like 1024 or larger and then see if you can see all the buttons in the agreement. Agree to it, then you can resize your screen resolution back to what it was before.

Itunes won't recognize my new 5s

Just bought a new 5s. Kept my old iphone (3s?), but got it a new number for my wife. My new phone is not recognized by itunes. My old phone is recognized. I have all my aps etc. downloaded on my new phone from the cloud, but I can't get any music from my I tunes account. Any ideas on how to remedy this situation?

Did you ever try plugging the old iPhone into iTunes while it had this new number? If so, that may well be the source of the issue. I suggest you never do that.
If you're sure you have a good backup from the old iPhone, you might try erasing the new one and starting its setup over. If you're willing to do that, you would do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings and that would start the iPhone setup process. Assuming it works, you could then restore it from the backup of your previous iPhone.

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 won't recognize my new url feed

Hey guys. So I had to move my xml file and all m4a files to a new folder on a server. When I use the <itunes:new-feed-url> and upload that xml file to the server I still haven't seen my podcast being updated with new episodes. It seems like it should be a simple fix but why am I having trouble? Any help would be amazing.

You did, I hope, add the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the old feed, not the new one? In any case, it's obviously possible to comment specifically unless you post the URLs of your Store page and the feed.

ITunes won't recognize my new Apple TV

I just got a new Apple TV and set it up with Home Sharing. However I don't see it in iTunes amongst my other devices.
Does Home Sharing prevent that?

No, unlike other devices or the previous Apple TV, the new Apple TV does not show up in iTunes. This is because you cannot sync anything to it. It is merely a portal to the services on the main screen, your iTunes library, your iPhone, your iPod Touch, and/or your iPad.

Itunes won't recognize device, nor ipad 2 or ipod. Itunes 64 bit on win 7 64 bit.

Everytime i try and sync the ipod or ipad it says that i don't have the required software for syncing. Therefore i should uninstall and reinstall itunes 64 bit. I have tried severall times but it won't work. I am very annoyed because it has never happend before. Please can someone help me?

It may have something to do with AMDS not started.

ITunes won't recognize iPod - Extreme frustration!

So iTunes won't recognize my new IPod Video. It works fine with my kids' shuffle, mini and 4th gen but when I connect my new iPod I just get a window with: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the ipod "IPOD". Use the IPOD Software Updater Application to restore the IPOD to factory settings"
I've been trying since Christmas to get this thing working. I've tried the five R's, I've tried every combination of everything suggested on the Apple site, (including posts here) I've tried stuff from other apple users sites. No joy. I just got off the phone with the help rep from Apple. He talked me through the MSCONFIG stuff, no joy still. He told me to go to depot.info.apple.com/ipod and fill out the forms and they'd send me a package to put my iPod in to send them so they could fix it. It's personalized so it'll take an extra 3 weeks to fix. Needless to say, I'm very frustrated and extremely disapointed.
Merry Christmas.
