My nano is not sinking to my acer laptop. What do I do????

I recently bought the new IPod nano 7. Shortly after that I got an Acer laptop. When I plug in the nano is does not notice that anything is pluged in. How do I get my computer to recognize I have my nano plugged in? It recognizes the nanos 4 and 5 as well as my ipad. What is so different about this nano?

Is the latest iTunes installed?

An older version (from before 7th gen nano) may or may not recognize the the latest devices.

Good Morning lavanyaroy,
If your iPod nano is not being recognized by your PC or iTunes for Windows, follow the detailed instructions in the article below:

My 7th gen ipod nano wil not show up on my laptop when I plug it in and neither will my brothers new ipad,they don't come up in my computher either and I've installed the new itunes twice but still no change,I really need to get this working,Please help

I need help

Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

Nano will not be recognised by my laptop anymore

Tried resetting it. Re installed itunes.
This has happened after updating itunes to latest version

This will not necessarily work if the Device has been modified.

IPod nano is not recognized by laptop

Hi
I just bought a new iPod nano. iTunes doesn't recognize it. It says that the harware driver is not installed. The iPod works normally on my mac but not on the acer laptop which is running Windows Vista.
My previous iPod nano worked normally on the acer laptop.

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

NEW IPOD NANO WILL NOT CONNECT CORRECTLY TO 2011 KIA SPORTAGE

Have a new Ipod nano. when I connect it to 2011 Kia Sportage it does not display the song list correctly. Have cable that Kia sells and it worked with my old Nano but not not the new one. Same results with cable that came with new nano. Help please

Alternatively, you can always use a double ended 3.5mm audio plug and just manipulate the playlist via the iPod and not the radio.

New IPOD Nano will not sync. iTunes recognizes it, I think. It knows its there and says I can transfer purchases from it but it will not let me sync it to my existing itunes.

I received a new IPOD nano for CHristmas. Itunes shows it there on summary, it is showing with the eject symbol.
However, when I go to file/sync, it allows me to transfer purchases but not sync it. It also does not show up in my playlist like my older NANO does.
I have reset, I have toggled security on and off. I am current on the software on both my IPOD and ITunes.

I was having the same problem...plugged in my new device and although I was able to set it up and it was recognized in iTunes, hit the sync button and nothing...even when it said it was syncing, still nothing. I am not sure this will work for you but I did two things that were suggested in this forum in combination with one another.
First, I plugged my Nano into different USB port on my laptop from the one I was using. when I reconnected, my devie again was displayed in the top right corner. I clicked on it and the summary page appeared. The one thing I hadn't done is go to the "music" tab. When I arrived there I found that the "sync music" tab was unchecked for some reason. I checked the block and instantly the download started.
As I said, I don't know if you have tried this or if it will even work for you but after an hour of frustration...I felt a little silly that it was something so simple I had negelected and thought I would share.
Good luck!

Solved: New iPod nano 8g not seen in My Computer/iTunes after Apple Support

I received this iPod as a Christmas gift and it has taken months to get it working but I am happy to say I finally did. I wanted to post what I did to solve the problem in case anyone else is having the same issue.
Background Information:
- Windows XP operating system (I had to upgrade to SP 2 just for this iPod)
- Computer works fine with an older iPod nano
- New iPod nano would simply bring up the "Install Hardware Wizard" and always resulted in "Cannot Install Hardware"
- Nothing would show up in My Computer
- iPod would say "Connected, Eject before disconnecting" when it was connected
- Under "Services" iPod service was running & Started
- Under "Device Manager" iPod showed up under "Other Devices" with an exclamation/question mark for "iPod" (note: this did not show up under USB controllers)
What I Have Tried That Didn't Work:
- Downloading new iTunes. I did this a few times and ended up with 7.6.1.9
- Uninstall and reinstall iTunes and Quicktime
- Tried Install Hardware Wizard option to search for drivers in c:\WINNT\inf (or c:\windows\inf if that's what you have)
- Restarted computer several times and tried creating a new user in Windows XP
- Tried going to "Right-click-My Computer"-"Manage"-"Device Manager" and uninstalled any instance of iPod (under "Other Devices") and tried refreshing / re-installing
- Tried stopping and restarting the iPod service in "Services"
- Tried restarting iPod, resetting it, all those 5 R's and other Apple support docs online
- Tried finding answers in forums
- Finally today I spent a few hours on the phone with Apple Support, and after repeating everything in their self-help documents online, and it still didn't work, they said "Call Microsoft and tell them you have a driver issue" and that my new iPod needed some additional driver (which is why old iPod works but not new)
So that's where I left off this afternoon. I think I've seen people who haven't had much luck getting Microsoft support to help with iPod issues, so I continued searching online. I tried updating my Video driver from the Gateway.com website and that didn't work.
On the microsoft.com website, the best I could find was a registry change which told me to delete registry keys for UpperFilters and LowerFilters, which I didn't even have so I couldn't try.
Finally, here is the solution to what worked:
I searched for iPod - specific drivers, and on some random help forum - http://www.computing.net/hardware/wwwboard/forum/43267.html
You'll see they mention "usbstor.inf" which needs to be in c:\winnt\inf (or c:\windows\inf). I checked my computer and it was missing. Luckily, it was there on my work laptop which was also recently upgraded to Windows XP so I e-mailed it to myself (glad I didn't have to trust some one online).
I also followed his directions to add "usbstor.sys" from c:\winnt\servicepack files\i386\ to c:\winnt\system32\drivers.
Lastly, I saw some other usb*.inf and usb*.pnf files on my laptop so I decided what-the-heck, I'll grab them all since I only had usbvideo.inf, and thus I extracted the following into my c:\winnt\inf directory: usb.inf, usb.pnf, usbport.inf, usbport.pnf, usbprint.pnf, usbprint.inf, usbstor.pnf, usbtor.inf.
I restarted my computer and right away my iPod magically appeared in MyComputer and when I opened iTunes, it was also successfully there. Funny thing is, Windows Install Hardware Wizard popped up and I pointed it to that directory -- guess what, it didn't work. Apparently that doesn't matter. Every time I plug in my iPod now, I will just skip the "Install New Hardware Wizard" and go straight to iTunes.
I know this was lengthy but I thought I could save some one else hours of checking around--- just go look in your "inf" directory and make sure you have the usbstor.inf file!
Good luck!!!!

I'm having trouble sharing my i pod list with my other computer. I authorized both computer's, but list is not showing up in my laptop. (2nd generation Ipod nano)

I'm having trouble sharing my Ipod list with my other computer. ( lap top) I authorized both computer's for home sharing but the list is not showing up on my laptop. My I pod is a second generation nano. So how do I get it to show up on my laptop?. Also I only have two computer's but it's authorized with 4, two were old computer's, how do I take them off the list without deauthorizing all 4 computer's,? Or do I have to deauthorize all 4 and then authorize the two I have now? my desk top pc is operating on vista, and my laptop is operating on 7. Does that make a difference? HELP! thank you.

HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

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.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?
