Nano 6th Gen and iTune crash my PC (windows 7)!!

I have a nano 6th generation and i am using a PC runing on windows 7.
Initially, a couple of months back, i was able to connect and sync the nano to my PC - no issues with iTune.
Just last week, I tried to connect my nano to my PC again but i noticed once the iTunes started running, it crashed my PC. It crashed not just my PC, but 2 other PC with iTunes running. Whereas I tried to connect it with a PC without iTunes and a Macbook, the laptops didn't crash at all.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes as well as did a hard reset on on the nano (resulting in loss of all songs in the nano).
Yet when i connect the Nano to my PC, it will crash the PC again and again.
Is anyone facing such issue??? Please help advise how to resolve this issue?

Do you have any other USB devices connected to your PC when you connect the Nano (minus the keyboard and mouse)?
Do you have any AntiVirus software running on your system? Try temporarily disabling it to see if that helps.
Any additional iTunes plug-ins/add-ons installed of any sort?
Do you have all the latest Windows updates/patches applied to your system? You should also update all firmware, BIOS, and drivers for your system as outdated ones can cause issues.

Nano 6th gen and Itunes for audiobooks

Been trying to get an audiobook onto my ipod for 2 weeks. It's downloaded and in Itunes. Been dragged to device and appears in "recently added" but is not on the actual device. I've used Itunes for music and also Zune (which, by the way, is much easier and user friendly than Itunes). Can someone help me to get this audiobook to appear on my device?

For audiobooks and iTunesU to appear on the screen you have to download the relevant content into iTunes and then synchronise your iPod. For voice memo to appear you have to connect a pair of headphones that incorporate a microphone, such as these: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB770G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0Ng

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1.

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1. It keeps saying 'it could not be identified properly". I've tried all the steps on troubleshooting page but nothing's successful. Anybody got some help?

I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1

Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC,

Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC, it said it was configured to Mac and went to restore it and install software. Now shows white screen with little computer icon and warning sign. won't reset

By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
Can you try and force the Nano into Disk Mode and then connect it iTunes and restore it again?

Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

IPod Nano (6th gen) and Technogym treadmill

Hi,
I have a 6th gen iPod Nano and I have been using it with nike+ for a while. In particular, I have been using the transmitter plugged in the ipod and the sensor in my nike shoe to track my running data and eventually upload it to nikeplus.com. Hence, I have one sensor linked.
Today, I went to my local gym and saw a Technogym treadmill with a big touchscreen and a possibility to dock an ipod. (I assume that the model of treadmill is a couple of years old, because it had a TV, fan, ipod support, etc., but no internet support. Here is the image of the exact treadmill - http://cityfitness.lv/upload/IMG_0452.JPG).
Moreover, I plugged in my 6th gen ipod nano. Set up and started a 5k run on the technogym treadmill. My ipods music was accessible on the technogym instantly. Also, I saw that during the workout the ipod's screen showed "Nike+. Workout data is recording" or something like that.
I did the 5k and finished the workout. I unplugged the iPod nano but my workout did not appear under Fitness - History. When I got home, I connected the ipod to iTunes, and the ordinary-afer-a-workout popup asking whether I want to send workout data to nikeplus appeard. I clicked yes. BUT, again, nikeplus.com does not show my technogym workout and neither does itunes.
The only thing appearing in iTunes, is a new sensor. Its name is "Gym User 1" or something like that.
So the question is. How can I get my 6th gen iPod Nano to fully work with technogym treadmill?
Thanks,
Reinis

Hello mark0198,
I'm afraid not. Your computer must meet the minimum requirements.
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later, and iTunes 10 or later

Nano 6th Gen and Windows 8

My Ipod Nano 6th Generation is not recognized by Windows 8.1. Is there a patch?

The article you provided (iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369) seems to indicate that the system requirements only apply to Windows 7 and earlier. However, I have the bug-filled Windows 8.1 on my desktop. In addition, nothing I tried in your article worked, and neither Windows Explorer or the latest iTunes recognizes the Ipod Nano Gen 6. It works fine on my Windows 7 laptop, so it is not the cord or the unit.
Have your engineers checked out the Gen 6 on Windows 8.1? If so, please update your article to reflect that 8.1 meets system requirements. If not, and you don't intend to update the software to resolve the conflicts that might arrise between them, you should so state.
If the Gen 6 should work with Windows 8.1, and it is just some conflct with my machine, then please escalate this request and have someone call me.

Assorted Problems with iPod Nano 4th gen and iTunes

So i am currently experiencing several problems. Let me break it down so that it might help you understand what's going on.
#1 When dragging music files to my ipod in itunes, an error message popped up stating some sort of file reading/writing error, i forgot exactly what it said.
#2 iPod starts randomly reseting itself when it changes to a new song. sometimes reseting itself right after the main menu comes back up. It also does this while connected to my JVC KD-AVX44 stereo in my car via USB and while listening normally by headphones.
#3 I tried restoring it in itunes, after the restore software was downloaded, an error message appeared stating that the ipod could not be restored.
#4 itunes begins to not recognize iPod
#5 itunes freezed when brought up, still not recognizing the ipod.
#6 itunes crashes? It came up with a window asking for an itunes library to continue, selected just "my music" instead, no files labeled .itl in that. clicked cancel, itunes dosn't come back up.
I'm hoping there's something simple that i'm missing here, can anyone help?

I think i'll try reinstalling itunes tonight, i tried using some of the tips in these articles to reinstall my usb drivers etc, as i still can't get my ipod to restore. apple store will be the next step.

Also, (common question) what's the easiest way to get music into your itunes library automatically if downloading from another source. i just dragged all my previous music from "my music" when i got the nano, i'd just been using WMP before. and i can't seem to find a way to automatically have itunes pick up this stuff. kind of a pain in the behind to drag it all.

Nano 3rd gen and itunes 8.0.1

My ipod nano 3rd gen will not sync with itunes now that we have downloaded the latest version 8.0.1. Itunes locks up immediately upon recognizing my ipod and closes upon clearing the error message (systems error upon opening itunes). Originally I was unable to open Itunes all together, but after going through the support programs and following the instructions of removing one of the SDDb files, Itunes was at least opening. Unfortunately I am unable to do anything with my nano when it is connected to the computer or when I try and connect it after opening Itunes. Itunes open if there my nano is not connected to it.
I am completely at a lose. Please offer some advice.
cheers,

So, to bring closure - and possibly help someone else with the same question - I'll answer my own question.
The new 3rd Gen Nano arrived today. I just decided to install iTunes on the new computer and connect the new Nano to that computer. I was prompted to name the Nano and I was able to log into my existing iTunes account and purchase music. I was not able to transfer those purchases to the Nano - got an authorization error. I needed to authorize the new computer and then I was all set.
It turned out there was already a 2nd authorized computer on the account (my laptop which I had forgotten about). I was surprised that when I connected the new Nano to that laptop, it was recognized without question - and without affecting the old Nano that had been previously docked to the laptop.
My only problem was downloading a podcast that I subscribe to (Leo Laporte's The Tech Guy). I tried downloading the last 4 or 5 podcasts on the new computer - but, kept getting a network timeout error. I tried on the laptop and got the same errors. I knew that these had been previously downloaded to the old desktop. So, I updated that to the latest version of iTunes and was able to get those podcasts onto my new Nano.
So, the bottom line is this turned out to be a no-brainer. Was worried for nothing.

Ipod nano 6th gen and bluetooth

How do I connect my ipod nano 6th generation to a blutooth adapter so I can use wireless headphones?

You buy a bluetooth adapter that is compatible with a 6th Generation Nano.

IPod Nano 6th gen black screen / not recognized by Windows

Like a year ago I bought an iPod 6th gen. A couple of months later the screen wouldn't turn on anymore.
This is what I tried:
- Manual reset by Home key + Down Volume key
- Plugging it to different computers (with different versions of iTunes, 10 and 11). Windows only makes a sound when the device is attached, but it doesn't show it; iTunes is launched, though.
- With iTunes 10 it waits for a while in "waiting for iPod". Then it says that an iPod has been detected but it couldn't recognize it.
- With iTunes 11 (updated) it says that it can't contact the update server, which version is incompatible with this version of iTunes.
I used to use the iPod as a watch, so there's no chance of me dropping the device, or hitting it agains something.
It's really sad because I have no way of interacting with it to do a "recovery" or something.
I followed suggestions in a lot of discussions, but nothing helped. I'm willing to try anything.
I also have an Iphone, iPad and iPod touch, so I'm used to the most common troubleshooting.
Please advice.
Thanks!

if it works properly with iTunes, then the screen might be disconnected from the logic board or (worse,) be broken. Contact Apple for Repair: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
<Edit>: did you change the screen before or after the problem arose?
