My desktop doesn't detect my Ipod nano 6th nor does itunes, and other family computers... What is going on?

I have an Ipod nano 6th gen, that originally worked when I got it, for like the first week or so. Now after transfering some 600 songs, it doesn't appear when I plug it into my desktop, or itunes. I even tried it on some family computers, and it still didn't appear. Anyone else having this same issue? I could use some help.

I have yet to try another usb cable, but the device does charge when I plug it in, which seems odd. I have the most recent version of Itunes.

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1.

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1. It keeps saying 'it could not be identified properly". I've tried all the steps on troubleshooting page but nothing's successful. Anybody got some help?

I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

Ipod nano 6th generation discharges 4 hours after full charge-what can be done?

ipod nano 6th generation discharges 4 hours after full charge-what can be done?

i have the problem it will barely tuen on after 5 hours of charging and i think the battery is duff, ive barely used this thing and am really disappointed

My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
Thanks

I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IPod Nano 6th Gen not syncing and prompted to re-install iTunes

my iPod Nano 6th Gen connects on my computer but not recognized by iTunes. I have already tried reinstalling the software as prompted by it but nothing happens

iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.
You can send feedback on the upgrade here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I'm hoping enough legacy iPod users will speak up that they'll rethink and/or fix it.

Do not reset your iPod if…
If your iPod is connected to a computer and displays any of the following messages, you should eject the iPod from within iTunes instead of resetting it:
Connected. Eject before disconnecting
Sync in Progress. Please wait…
Do not disconnect

Windows Vista doesn't recognize my iPod nano 6th gen

I've had this iPod since Christmas, and last night when I plugged it in to my computer to charge, a little bubble at the bottom of my screen says: "USB Device not recognized." I've tried everything it said to do on iPod trouble shooting. I'm very poor and can not afford a new iPod, so any help will be greatly appreciated!
P.S: I apologize for my sophomoric descriptions. As you can tell, I'm not very tech-savy.

Sounds like you may need to reinstall itunes and all its bits. Here is an article from Apple on it:

Ipod nano not recognized by itunes and won't charge

Ipod nano is about 3 months old, worked fine before with itunes, but now ipod doesn't start itunes, doesn't show up in finder, and doesn't charge.
I have switched usb ports, reset the ipod, downloaded itunes 6. I downloaded ipod update, but computer doesn't recognize ipod so it isn't updated. I tried "restore", but again not recognized. I tried Isync but it can't find ipod.
Do I need a new cable that attaches ipod to computer?

Hello,
The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
<a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
Have you checked this link out?:
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

My ipod nano 6th gen is not recognized by any computers, I've tried restarting it, resetting it, restarting the computer, any number of stuff it says on here, but it is still unrecognized by either my computer or my roommate's computer.

Hi all!
I have a 6th gen ipod nano. I wanted to sync it to get some new music onto it, but my computer won't recognize it. I've tried restarting it and resetting it numerous times, both plugged into the computer and not. I've confirmed that both the Apple Mobile Device service and iPod services are running. I've updated my itunes, I've updated my virus software (I highly doubt that is the problem, it's the same software I've always used and my iPod worked fine before) and I've tried any multitude of ******** "fixes" you can find in this forum or anywhere else on the web.
The ipod does charge when I plug it in, and I've tried 2 of my roommate's cords, so that isn't it either. My USB drivers are also up to date and work just find with anything else, including my printer, my cellphone, etc.
so... anyone have any suggestions?
Oh, I'm also running a Dell Studio 15 laptop with Windows 7.

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.

HT1933 Why are my songs on my ipod nano greyed out in itunes and not playing ?

My old computer died got a new one downloaded itunes connected my ipod to it all my songs show up but they are greyed out and won't play on i tunes however they still play just fine on my ipod but they won't play on i tunes ..........also how can i sync my ipod to itunes and not lose my music ?

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

How do you get the music from my ipod nano 6th generation onto itunes?

I'm trying to get the music i have from my nano that o got from a my mac desktop to my pc laptop but i dont know how to donwload the music onto itunes.

You'll want to copy all your music on your flash drive over to your empty iTunes library first. Once you have successfully done that, plug your Nano in and choose the Erase and Sync option as long as you are 100% positive that all the content on your Nano is now in your iTunes library.
The Erase and Sync operation will wipe all content from the iPod, associate the iPod with the new iTunes library, and then allow you to sync content back to the Nano from iTunes.

My ipod nano 6th gen wake/sleep button is not working what should i do?

I was using my ipod suddenly its wake sleep button stopped working else all is right i am not able to use my ipod as by that button only all things can be operated i dont know where to take my ipod for care

Hi Atique ur rehman,
Thanks for your query.
If the sleep wake button on your iPhone is unresponsive, first try and reset all setting by going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.
If this does not resolve the problem, I would sound more like a hardware based issue.
I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!
Thanks,
KL
