My ipod isn't being recognized in itunes and not in my computer

when i plug my 2nd generation ipod up it won't go to itunes and it wont even register in the computer. But when i plug up the 30 gig ipod it goes directly to itunes and it shows up in the address bar. I ran the diagnostic and it showed that the 2nd generation was the secondary and not the primary ipod on the computer. I wonder if that has anything to do with that at all? I have no idea I've been checking for months i need some help.

"I ran the diagnostic and it showed that the 2nd generation was the secondary and not the primary ipod on the computer."
What diagnostics?
If you are connecting both iPods at the same time this will cause problems. Disconnect the 30GB while syncing the Nano.

  • My ipod nano isn't being recognized by itunes. why not?

    when i try to connect my ipod nano to my laptop it wont connect. itunes says it cant recognize it all of a sudden. can someone help me fix this issue?

    After doing everthing recommended online unsuccessfully I tried this. Bear in mind this is with a 64 bit Windows 8.1 OS. 
    Here it is:
    1.Control Panel
    2.Programs
    3. Uninstall or Change Programs
    4. Uninstall iTunes
    5. Uninstall Apple application support, mobile device support, software update (I even removed Bonjour and Quicktime).
    6. Go to apple.com and download iTunes again from the beginning.
    7. See if it works (hope it does)
    You'll have to download Quicktime again, but no big deal. After I did this my laptop and iTunes finally recognize my nano and iPhone 3GS. In my control panel it appears that the other applications have also been restored (as you would expect). For those of you still stuck despite the recommendations online, I hope this helps you out.
    Good luck!

  • My IPOD touch isn't being recognized by  iTunes and once it was restored it is only showing the iTunes Icon with the connector cable as a picture.

    This happened after trying to "restore"

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iphone isn't being recognized by itunes and is stuck on the itunes/plug symbol on the screen.

    I got an error from an update and now my iphone 4 doesn't show up on itunes as a device.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I have the most recent version of itunes downloaded.

    Quit iTunes.
    Disconnect your iPhone from your PC.
    Go to Control Panel.
    List installed software and remove the driver software for the iPhone. It's named something like "Driver or Device, Apple iPhone".
    Restart Windows 7.
    Connect your iPhone, make sure it the screen is not locked.
    Windows should automatically re-install the driver software for the iPhone now.
    If it has done that, start iTunes.
    iTunes should now detect your iPhone again.
    Kind regards,
