My ipod nano doesnt have enough battery for the computer to recognize it

Well my ipod nano is really screwed up!
Ok so a couple weeks ago I plugged my ipod into my computer because the battery was getting pretty low, and my computer didn't recognize it so i restarted the computer plugged it into a different port and it still didnt work. I tried this with every port on my computer and by the time i had done that the ipod was completely out of battery. I have tried resetting it but it still wouldnt stay on long enough for my computer to recognize it. Also, before this happened, it sometimes took two or three times of plugging it in for my computer to recognize it. Then I installed an update for my ipod and when it took all the songs off of it and then put them back on, it put all of the songs I have on itunes on my ipod whether they were checked or not and i couldnt get them off. Basically I would like to know if I should send it in to be repaired or if there is something I can do to fix it myself. Thank you so much!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Why don't you try resetting the iPod while it is attached to the computer?
Also, see if either of these help (whichever applies)...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

  • How do I synch when my ipod doesn't have enough space for all my imusic?

    How do I synch when my Ipod doesn't have enough space for all my imusic?

    Create one or more playlists containing a selection of music you want on the device and sync those rather than the entire library.

  • TS1702 I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck.

    I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck. If I delete the ap and reinstall I will lose my stuff. Any ideas? It won't open so I can email it to myself.

    What upgrade are you trying to install? Your profile shows iOS 5.1.1, which is the current max iOS.

  • I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

    I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in OR convert it to SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

    When you purchase an HD movie or show, in most cases the SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select Movies or TV shows as appropraite. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the movies/shows and be able to download them.
    Note that with digital copies from a Blu-Ray or DVD, if it comes with an HD copy, you normally cannot get the SD copy as well and have to purchase it separately if you want it.
    Regards.

  • Will the iPod nano 7g have games similar to the iPod nano 3/4/5g?

    I previously had a ipod nano 3g and loved the three games it came with - perfect for when youre bored on the bus, and you dont have to worry about all those apps on the touch just a few simple games. I really like the new nano but i dont think ill buy it if it has no games on it.

    There will not as Apple removed all of these games from the store about a year ago. Not only that, but they were just clickwheel games that only worked with iPod models that had a clickwheel, which the 7G Nano does not. Sorry.

  • New 4th Gen. iPod Nano 16GB. Plugged in for the first time. PLEASE READ!

    I got the new 4th generation for christmas and i plugged it in and something pops up about registering and i clicked later.
    and then it tells me that I have to Read and agree to the software.
    So I read through all of that and at the end, there is a box you can check to say that you have read and agreed. I did that, but then you have to click a button to confirm/continue im guessing. Well, my problem is, that my computer screen is too small for me to see the button, in other words, I cant confirm/continue and am stuck there, I cant do anything else with the ipod with out continuing this step. I have tried to Maxamize the screen and dragging over. nothing seems to work.
    Is there any other day to agree and confirm to this? If there isn't, is there a way that I can get to the confirm/continue button?
    I really need to use my iPod.
    I Have windows Xp.
    PLEASE REPLY.
    my iPod is important.
    I have tried changing my screen resolution.

    you have a Windows computer -- that's the problem.
    it would work just fine on a Mac.

  • I have purchased additional iCloud space.  It shows I still have space, however my iPad mini shows I don't have enough space for the update for ios7.  My photos are in the cloud, I guess,  so why don't I have enough space?

    If I delete photos on my iPad mini, can I still see them in iCloud storage?  How do I free up more space on my iPad  without removing photos?

    If you delete photos from your iPad, they will also be deleted from iCloud and you'll lose them.  Also, having additional iCloud space won't give you any more space on your device.   You can't move any data to iCloud and delete it from your device.  All you iCloud data is also on you device, and if you delete it from your device, it is also deleted from iCloud.
    One option to free up space for the update is to delete the music from your iPad, then sync it back using iTunes after you update.   (You can delete it all by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then tap Music>Edit, then tap next to All Music.)
    Also, if you purchsed the iCloud storage upgrade in the last 15 days thinking you chould use it to free up space on your iPad, you can call the Apple online store for your country and get a refund (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada.)

  • IPod Nano 5th generation cannot connect to the computer

    My Nano 5th generation cannot connect to my computer when the device is connected to a USB cord. I have an existing library which I have synced to numerous times but all of a sudden, the iPod does not connect using the USB cord. I've tried changing ports on the computer but to no avail. I share the computer with another user who has a totally different library (their's is an iPod Touch) and there is no problem connecting this iPod Touch to the computer and iTunes library. I cannot figure out why the Nano 5th generation is not connecting by way of the USB cord. Somebody please help me

    Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB port? Sometimes this can fix the problem of a device not being seen by a computer.
    And i share you a column about [iPod Transfer|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod_Transfer]. This has worked perfectly for me everytime I've tried it.
    Hope it can do you a favor.

  • Songs on Ipod ok, but have no longer got the computer I used to use

    A girl a work has a 30g photo Ipod. She has about 3000 songs on it, and previously used her fathers computer to update it.
    Since the last time she updated it, the computer was stolen so she doesnt know what to do. She is wanting to update her Ipod but is scared as she doesnt want to lose the songs she already has put on.
    I have looked at a few threads on here, but to be honest am rather confused, as I will be explaining to her what to try.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance.

    the ipod is likely to be on automatically syncing currently. plug the ipod into a different computer and it will warn you that if you choose to sync with the new computer, the songs will be erased. when this warning pops up, select no. after the ipod appears in itunes and has not updated, go to the ipod options and you can select manually organize songs.

    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:
