    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

    my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • HT1459 ipod nano is not recognized by computer to sync using windows 7. If I uninstall then reinstall itunes does this fix problem and will I lose songs

    my ipod nano is not being recognized by windows 7 when I now try to sync. Is the only way to fix this to uninstall and reinstall itunes and do I then have to redownload all my music?

    Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

  • New iPod Nano 5G Not Recognized

    Okay, this is a weird one.
    I bought an iPod Nano from Apple and it is not recognized by my Mac Pro. My Macbook sees it just fine and so does a Windows PC at work.
    I've followed the troubleshooting found in TS1410 on Apple Support. In addition, on the very same Mac Pro with the same USB cable and USB port, iTunes sees my iPhone perfectly fine.
    When I click on Apple, About this Mac, click More Info to launch System Profile and look under USB, it sees my iPod Nano as well. However, the iPod Nano does not show up in finder or my Mac Pro.
    Any ideas on possible troubleshooting?

    Oddly enough, after another reboot, it is now working.
    Good luck to everyone else!

    thanks for your help

    an error message pops up that says "an iPod has been detected but it was not recognized" can anyone help me figure out how to fix that?
    Doublechecking. Have you 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:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • IPod Nano 6gen not recognized by iTunes using a Mac, have tried all the tips.

    I've tried all of the tips on the site, nothing seems to work.  My Mac (OS X 10.6.8) can see the device and my iTunes updates as normal on other devices but the nano suddenly isn't seen by iTunes.  I've reset the settings, checked the USB, nothing seems to work. I'm also getting an error message that says Mac OS X can't repair the disk, its telling me to backup and reformat.  The resetting on the device should take care of this but it doesn't, the device is empty.  All software is up to date.  Any ideas?

    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

  • IPod nano (6gen) not recognized in iTunes

    Before I recently upgraded too osx 10.6.5 and itunes 10.1 I had no problems syncronizing my ipod (6th generation) with itunes. Immediatly after doing it my problem started. Strangely enough my iPhone shows up and syncronizes, and if I connect my same ipod nano to my other computer (macbook) the ipod nano shows up in itunes. My iPod nano is recognized in finder.
    I have tried to follow different troubleshooting-instructions given by apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410). I have tried resetting the ipod, reinstalled itunes, restarting the computer, downgrading itunes (didnt work because of library was in 10.1), switching usb port and using differant cable. I have also tried to connect another iPod nano (6th generation) to my computer, but it does not show up - just like my own.
    My computer is a Mac Pro, but it think is strange that it should have anything to do with this, when it worked before - and it is only a problem for ipod nano a and not iphone. I have all software upgrades neseccary.
    After hours of troubleshooting I now hope any of you guys have any help to offer me. I would appreciate very much!

    Dear torkildsen,
    Please obtain the solution to the matter at the below.
    1. Reset your iPod.
    2. Retry with a different USB or FireWire port. (To verify whether your iPod syncs via FireWire or USB, see the table in the Additional Information section below.)
    3. Restart your computer and make sure you have the latest software updates installed.
    4. Remove iTunes from your /Applications folder. Then reinstall the latest version of iTunes software.
    5. Restore your iPod using another Mac that is able to recognize it. See “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” in the user's guide.
    Or you can use other backup software to transfer iPod contents to iTunes or computer. Follow this reviews about [how to transfer music/videos/photos from iPod/iPhone to Mac?|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod/iPhone/iPadTo_Computer_Transfer_%26_Backup_SoftwareReviews] It includes the transferring of music, photos, videos, SMS, Contact ect. between iPod/iPhone/iPad and computer(PC or Mac).
    Have a good luck.

  • IPod Nano 5G not recognized as device for itunes.

    I recently got an ipod nano 5g, and itunes is refusing to recognize it. It is shown only as a disc on my desktop, and is not shown under devices in itunes. As this ipod still has stock software, it's highly flawed, and I'm hoping the update will add the common sense features I"m wanting. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect so as to update.
