My iPod Nano 7 was unplugged improperly, iTunes detects but does not identify help?

My iPod Nano 7th generation was unplugged improperly and now I seem to have a whole host of problems. Itunes detects it but does not identify it - sometimes (also post- improper unplug) it would be identified by iTunes, but it wouldn't sync properly. The computer would scan and fix the ipod every time I plugged it in, but never found any problems. Also, every time I plug it in I get a warning window that the device could work faster if I plugged it into a 2.0 USB port, which I have checked that my computer has, updated all of the "enhanced USB ports" and I've checked the Apple port and it's fine. I have also tried all of the USB ports I have, the warning window pops up for all of them. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, restarted my computer and my ipod numerous times. Sometimes I get a warning window about missing files on my iPod, but I don't know how to fix that issue.
Any suggestions??? THANKS!!!

Good thing because no one is anwering anything on this

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:

Carolyn Samit, the AMDS not running would results in iTunes not seeing the iPod.

TS1702 My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.

My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library and shows up under Devices, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.

In order for this content to not appear grayed out, you need to enable the Manually manage music option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. Keep in minding that manually managing your iPod's contents is different from having content automatically sync to your device from iTunes. See here for more information.

ITunes opens but does not appear on desktop?

When I open iTunes by dbl clk on the icon, the graphic equalizer pops up on the screen, and if I right click the icon, it will play recent music from that menu. But...iiTunes does not show up on my screen. I hear the music (garbled) but cannot find iTunes. I have the 11.1.5 version and 10.9.2 OSX on a iMac24. It may be coincidental but, it showed up fine til I recently went to Mavericks. What should I look for to solve this?

Hello tscacro
Start with going to the drop down menu, Window > iTunes to see if it pops up the iTunes window so you can view your music again. If that does not work, then download and reinstall iTunes.

ITunes launches but does not appear.

When I click on iTunes it launches and the itunes tabs appear on the top of the screen but my library does not appear. Has anyone had this problem? Know how to solve it?

Are you saying that you see the iTunes menu bar across the top but not the library window? Or are you saying that the iTunes library window appears but there is nothing in the library?
If it's the former, it's possible the window is hiding just off screen or underneath your dock. You could turn the dock off or move it temporarily to see if you can find the window. Also...go under the Window menu in iTunes and make sure there's a checkmark next to iTunes. If there's not, select it.
If it's the latter, I really don't know. Have you done a search on your hard drive for a song from your library to see if the folder somehow got moved?

ITunes downloaded, but does not open-Windows does not support Mac script

I have recently bought a Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have managed to download iTunes, but I cannot open it. The computer posts a message saying that it does not support Mac script. I suppose that I need additional software (daemon tools?)? I would be grateful if someone could advise me in relation to this issue.

No, you should need nothing additional. I suspect you may have tried to download the Mac compatible version of iTunes & that's why your getting this message. Make sure you have checked the Windows version & nothe Mac version on the download page.

Ipod nano 2nd generation is seen by computer but will not format

The windows computer using Itunes sees the Ipod and restore gets to format, but cannot complete the job. The devices shows 0 space available.

I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Apple and they were stumped. We tried everything!!! uninstalling itunes, updating "usb mass storage" drivers, etc...
I have an ipod touch 16gb, Gateway computer using Vista, and my computer recognized the ipod but itunes didn't start up when I plugged it in and it was not recognized in itunes.
Long story short, after reading almost every thing I could find on google and Apple help I stumbled onto the info about the 2.0 usb port. In looking to see if my computer had a 2.0 usb port (just to be sure)I found that it would be listed as "enhanced" in the Universal Serial Bus Controller section of Device Manager. Sooooo, I tried updating those drivers and it worked! I think. I did so many things, but this seemed to do the trick. It's worth a try. Mine is working perfectly now.
start
control panel
device manager
universal serial bus controllers
right click on the "enhanced host controller" (mine listed 2, so I did both)
choose automatic update
then plug in the ipod. That seemed to allow my ipod to download the proper driver. Tadaaa - itunes started and my ipod is now recognized in itunes.
Worth mentioning is that my ipod had to do a restore. Not sure why, maybe it was something apple had me try.
GOOD LUCK!!

I have an ipod thats from the 3rd or 4th generation, but does not have a camera and any apps I try to download it says the software is not up to date, but I checked. How do I fix this and get the next update? My itouch is stuck with version 4.2.1.

Please help me figure out how to get my 3rd generation ipod to have the newest software in order to download apps. It will not let me.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

ITunes opens but does not launch

iTunes will open on the menu bar, but that's as far as it goes. No error msgs. When I use the remote I can access my iTunes and its contents. I re-downloaded the updated version 8.0.1, clicked on it, and again just the menu bar opened. What am I missing? Thanks

I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer & iPad. When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded. When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased". When I try to check & download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased.
I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store. This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases. I have been using iTunes & various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years & there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access. As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary). But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
Help!

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

Itunes bounces, but does not open

Since installing 8.1, when i click to open itunes it bounces, has the appearance of opening, and then just stops, and does nothing. why? how can i fix it?

Hi jack42white,
pls take a look at your console.app inside Utilities inside Applications.
Most likely you'll find a crash report like this:
Link (dyld) error:
Symbol not found: _SecKeychainSearchCreateFromAttributes
Referenced from: /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
Now, if this is the case your last update screwed up your security executeable at the stated position (Systen/Library/frameworks/ etc).
Please go there, and look if you see 2 security files, one labeled "security_debug"
This is a relic of a security update which didn't perform properly.
You now have 2 options:
1. Erase the "security_debug" and replace "Security" with a new one which might be tricky for you if you don't have the opportunity to install and upgrade your OS (Tiger, right?) to the latest 10.4.11
AND
2. if you don't feel skilled enough to use the terminal, since you have to do this copy procedere via the terminal as suod (Superuser).
if you can answer both questions with yes, post it here and I will help you through the copying process.
If Option 1 is nothing for you you need to install a new system.
Good luck!
