Latest iTunes update broke Nano 7G detection/sync

The latest update to iTunes (v11.3.0.54) for PC has broken my ability to connect my Nano 7G and sync.
First let me give you the conditions.
I have 2 PCs. Both are running Windows 8.1 with all Windows updates installed. PC 1 is my main desktop and I recently updated iTunes to the latest version, 11.3.0.54. PC 2 is a laptop that is still running v.11.2.2.3. After the update I attempted to connect my Nano to PC 1 and was given this error message.
"An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again"
After clicking OK, the iPod does not appear to be detected or connected to iTunes. It also does not show up in My Computer as an attached device, and does not show up in Device Manager as either a USB device or Portable device.
At first I thought I had just broken the Nano, but I attempted to connect it to PC 2 running the earlier version of iTunes and it works 100% perfectly. I have indeed tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes multiple times, rolling back to an earlier version on PC 1 (which won't load due to the library file being modified by the later version) and then upgrading again. I have tried connecting on multiple USB ports and used 2 different USB/Lightning cables. All work fine with PC 2 running the older version, none work with PC 1 running the latest. I have tried doing a reset of the Nano while disconnected and connected. Both fail.
Again the iPod worked fine before the update and still works fine on a PC with an identical operating system/updates running an earlier version of iTunes. Is this something I can fix myself? How? Or is it something I will just have to wait for Apple to patch?

Hello joejoehoppy,
Look for it to pop up next to the iTunes Store icon. Also check out the article below to troubleshoot your iPod nano connecting to iTunes.

  • Ever since I downloaded the latest itunes update songs have not been syncing correctly and now they aren't all no matter what I do the settings on my iphone 4s or itunes on my PC.

    I recently had trouble updating my itunes, when I did do it I kept getting an error message and because of that I had to uninstall everything than reinstall itunes.  But since then my iphone, ipad, and ipod are not really syncing correctly.  My PC says its going through the steps and applying everything but when I got to my phone nothing is updated at all.  Nothing is being applied and I did the run diagnostics as well and it said that everything was fine.  When I got what is on this phone it says the playlists are on my phone but when I go to the music app on my phone the playlists aren;t there at all.  I've gone through all my settings on my computer and iphone and they are all what they should for the songs to transfer correctly and it still isn't working. 

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

    As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.

  • Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

    It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
    It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's  PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
    And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

    I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or

  • Can I still sync my iphone 4 in ios 7 to the latest itunes update?

    Right now my iTunes and my laptop can't detect my device (iphone 4), so I'm wondering if installing the latest iTunes update is the case. And I'm also worried if I do that, it will only prevent me from syncing my iphone to my iTunes. Help anyone?

    Hi ..
    An iPhone 4 cannot be updated to iOS 8 >   Apple - iOS 8 - What’s New
    iOS 7.1.2 is the latest version available for an iPhone 4.
    If iTunes doesn't recognize the iPhone ...
    For Mac >  iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    For Windows >  iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Make sure your computer meets the requiremens for iTunes for Mac or Windows >  Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

  • After latest iTunes update I get error message when syncing:

    "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone "name" because a connection could not be established to the iPhone". Same for my iPad, same for both even after upgrading to IOS6.0. Any ideas?
    I tried to carry out a restore on the iPhone but iTunes cannot back it up.
    Is the latest iTunes broken? or is it just me?
    I am on Windows 7 64 bit, Never had this problem till the latest iTunes update.

    So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
    If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
    Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

  • TS1368 I downloaded the latest ITunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but I can no longer access the Itunes Store.  No error message, it just keeps "accessing" but nothing shows up.  I've restarted my computer twice.

    I downloaded the latest Itunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but now I can't access the Itunes Store.  There's no error message, it just keeps "accessing" but never completes.  How can I fix this?

    Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
    Thanks,
    Evan

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Latest iTunes update; iPhone sync takes a long, long time

    I have a 64GB iPhone 4S, up to date with latest software.  I have iTunes running on a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit SP2; running latest update of iTunes.
    I am currently doing my second iPhone sync to change out a bunch of music since the latest iTunes update.  I have tons of records, and I like to switch up the tunes quite a bit.  I love the 64GB iPhone; holds over 500 albums.
    Both, the first time and now this time, the sync is taking forever.  Seriously, as I type this the sync is now past two hours and looks to be about 60% done.
    Prior to this update (both iTunes and phone), the sync took maybe 20 minutes,  Nothing else has changed; same computer/operating system, no bugs or viruses.  The only thing I think it can be is this latest update to iTunes; which, by the way, dumped all my albums when the update was done.  I had to add all the folders again; that took a while and a lot of album covers were lost.  Big pain in the butt, basically.
    I don't know if you Apple people are listening, but this is eroding my confidence in your brand.  Will I spring for a MacBook like I was planning?  Hmmm...

    No solution - just the same problem.
    My wife's 4s (iOS 7.0.2) has been hanging at syncing Contacts on iTunes 11.1 (iMac; Mountain Lion) the past several days. It never gets past "Syncing Contacts".
    Doesn't anyone have any advice. I've hard re-booted her iPhone; re-booted the iMac.
    We don't have this problem with either my iPhone 5 (7.0.2), her 2nd-gen iPad or her old iPot Touch.
    We share the same contacts and calendars across all of these devices and the iMac.

  • My PC won't sync with iphone 4s or ipad after latest itunes update

    When I plug it in, it asks to trust the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I have tried different usb ports and turning off the firewall.It was working ok til the latest itunes update.

    Did you click on Trust? What happens when you do? When you removed and uninstalled iTunes, did you use this support document and follow the instructions exactly? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

  • Since the latest itunes update, my itunes won't recognise my ipod

    Since the latest itunes update, my itunes detects my ipod nano (7th generation), but says it can't be identified properly. However, my older ipod nano (4th generation) fine. Does anyone know what this could be? I've re-installed itunes already and followed the troubleshooter.

    The later nano may require more power when connected, to operate and charge its battery, compared to the older nano.  It's possible that your computer's USB bus may not provide sufficient power, if you have other devices connected at the same time.
    As a test, I would shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used.  Do this to Reset the iPod

  • TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods.  Diagnostics says no ipod connected.  However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

    After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync.  When I run diagnostics it says no device connected.  My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected.  I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work.  I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.  The older version would not reconize my music libray.  Any thouhts?

    I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
    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:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • ITunes no longer shows my iPhone after I installed the latest iTunes update.

    I agreed to install the latest iTunes update and went through all the steps including rebooting. My phone then asked if I trusted the computer and I clicked "trust". It asked again and I clicked "trust". iTunes never opened automatically and when I opened iTunes, I saw that my iPhone5 was not listed; therefore, I can no longer sync. Then I rebooted my (Windows 7) computer again and experienced the same problems. I moved my phone to a different USB port but experienced the same problems.

    I have an AT&T Uverse email account that keeps saying I have an "incorrect user name or password."
    Perhapse it's the same issue since the Uverse e-mail is through Yahoo.
