My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2. 
I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
I can't see it anymore in ITunes.  I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
Many thanks for your help !

  • My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't start. When I plug it, only blink the apple logo on the screen. I try to reset it holding by 8 seconds start button and volume down and doesn't work. My Ipod doesn't have any shock or water damage. How can I do?

    Hello there, 209girl.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps for how to delete your playlist:

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen Won't Sync After Getting iTunes Match

    I have a new iPod Nano 6th Generation, with the new clock faces, bought in december. I bought iTunes Match in early january.
    After syncing and using my ipod successfully, I was confident that iTunes Match would not effect my ipod syncing as I only use iTunes Match for my Mac and iPad. However, after adding some CD's to iTunes and downloading some tracks, my iPod began syncing but then was interuppted by an error - 13019. It then wouldn't sync. I restored the iPod and the error came up again and after a few failed attempts, the iPod went into a boot loop showing the apple logo, then the homescreen then it would flash white and show the apple again.
    I then thought to test it I would turn off iTunes match and sync the iPod and see if it would work. It didn't however, after restoring it with iTunes match turned off, it worked and synced, albeit with no playlists for some reason.
    I am very disappointed and would like to know if I could fix it so my ipod can sync with itunes while iTunes match is turned on (the best option) or to be able to get a refund on iTunes match if it will not work and is causing me to not be able to use my iPod.
    Thanks for any Replies

  • My Ipod Nano 6th Gen doesn't connect to USB.

    When I connect my Ipod to the USB port it says 'USB device not recognized'. I can't find any help online. I am using Windows 8. I used to use it on my old laptop that ran on windows 7.

  • Is it possible to find out when was ipod nano 6th gen last time connected to the iTunes?

    Hi
    I would like to know is it possible to trace this information using serial number or is it possible to get this info from some authorized personal?
    Thanks in advance

    You may not be able to show "When" the iPod nano was plugged in, but you can find out when the last sync was.  Open the desktop iTunes app (you don't need to plug the nano in), choose the iTunes drop down menu, select "Preferences" {or after opening iTunes, use Command-Comma to show the Preferences, select the "Devices" icon.  It will show all devices which have been synced.  This may or may not show if logged in under another user.  This is only the easiest way.  Jim

  • Ipod nano 6th gen not recognised at all in itunes or windows

    Nano was recognised as a device first two times i used it but now not recognised in itunes or in my computer as an ipod. Followed various help suggestions but no change. Does t need software restoring and if so how if not recognised in itunes?

    This problem now solved after a few hours browsing Apple help and other forums like this - tried connecting through usb ports at rear of computer instead of front and instantly itunes recognised it.  Odd since I can still connect my camera through front usb ports - the mystery of computers eh?  Anyone know how to fix front usb ports?

  • Why won't my ipod nano 6th gen not show up on my iTunes or on my computer?

    I have gone through all of the steps to make it work, but still no luck. What should I do? It has never done this before.

    Hi riciatay42,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below should help you with this:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  See the section labeled Verify that the USB Drivers are installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
    If this does not resolve the issue, you may need to remove iTunes and all of its components as outlined in this article:

  • 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.
