Try deleting all remnants of iTunes from your computer then download and install iTunes again.
What other USB devices are connected to your Dell?

Ipod-nano-7th-gen-won't-synch-from-itunes-or icloud?

I have a Nano 7th generation. I am beside my self trying to get the music I buy in i tunes onto the Nano 7th gen--my iphone 4S automatically downloads all the music I buy via Wi Fi ( I also have an icloud account that has all my music in it)
But, No matter what I can not get the the music into the Nano. I launch itunes, plug the Nano in, it shows up on the left side of the itunes store screen (sometimes)-- I have never been asked to register it-- and it never shows up with my authorized devices in the My account info section of itunes-- the Laptop I use & the iphone show up-- but I can't figure out how to get the Nano to show up as a recognized, authorized device.
Why does Apple make it impossible to learn how to use the devices they make?
I have all my music on the i phone ( which is really NOT the quaity music player that the Nano is, I would like to listen to it on the Nano).
Is there any way I can move the music from my icloud into the Nano 7th generation? I am completely at a loss, and don't know what to do or who to ask
Please, can someone help me? Music is one of the only things I have in my life, and this is frustrating beyond belief to pay for music I can't listen to.
Thanks for any one s help

Hey liznofears,
Connecting the iPod to iTunes and having it show up on the left is the first step. It sounds to me like you want your music to sync automatically whenever you connect your iPod - if so, follow these directions:
Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
Click the button with your device's name, below the Spotlight window.
In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
Select Sync Music. You can select "Include music videos" if you want to sync Music videos to your device.
Your device needs to have enough free space to sync the content that you selected from your library.
Tip: You can use the capacity bar at the bottom of the device settings window to see how much free space is available. The window will update with an estimate as you select content.
Click Apply. iTunes will sync the content you selected to your device. The iTunes LCD will show the sync progress and notify you when the sync is complete.
To disconnect your device, find your device in iTunes and click the eject icon.

IPod Nano 7th Gen won't connect with phone

I am trying to connect my Droid Razor HD with my iPod Nano 7th Gen using Bluetooth. My phone recognizes the connection, my iPod doesn't. States:
Mobile phone
Not Connected
What's going on?

The iPod Nano only has A2DP (stereo bluetooth) AVRCP (controls) and low power Bluetooth profiles. It does not have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and cannot connect to your phone.

Ipod nano 7th gen cannot be detected by Itunes after restore

Following the recent death of my Macbook Pro (due graphic card problem) I've switched to my backup laptop and moved all my files to the windows 8.1 laptop. I knew that connecting my Ipod Nano (7th Generation) to the new laptop would result in losing all my playlist and music currently stored.
I needed to update my ipod's list with new things so I took the chance (innocently thinking that all I needed to do was just remake my playlists and re-sync it). Initially it started off well, but towards the later parts of restoring, iTunes gave an error saying that the restore could not be completed and led me to a thread on Apple Support. Following the steps, I disconnected my ipod and reconnected it. Nothing happened. Itunes did not recognize the ipod, and the ipod goes into a grey looking screen with a simple message that says okay to disconnect.
My question is, how am I suppose to restore my ipod, when itunes can't detect my ipod.
I've been struggling really badly with the loss of my Macbook Pro and now this. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance
Currently running on Windows 8.1 and iTunes version 11.4.0.18

Hello there, lycusfenriz.
It can definitely be frustrating when your having trouble with multiple devices at the same time, but the steps in the article below may help with getting your iPod recognized in iTunes. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth recommendations for troubleshooting an iPod not being recognized in iTunes:
iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
Connectivity/syncing
Follow these steps if your computer doesn't recognize your iPod or you have issues with syncing your iPod.
iPod not recognized by iTunes or computer
Make sure you have installed the latest iTunes software from www.itunes.com/downloads. Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Your computer needs a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port to connect iPod nano. If you have a Windows PC that doesn't have a USB 2.0 port, in some cases you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card.
If iPod nano is connected to a USB hub, try connecting iPod nano directly to your computer's USB port.
iPod nano might need to be reset. Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button until you see the Apple logo appear.
If you're connecting iPod nano to a portable computer using the Lightning Cable, connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod nano.
Check the cable connections. Disconnect the cable at both ends and make sure no foreign objects are in the USB ports. Then reconnect the cable.
Try reinserting the Lightning connector into the iPod. The Lightning connector can be inserted either way.
Try restarting your computer.
If none of these steps resolves the issue, you might need to restore the iPod nano software.

Nano 7th gen - how to lock buttons????

Alright, here it goes...
just bought the new nano and my first impression: I'm not overly excited. Up until now I was still using my iPod nano 4th and I was actually really happy with it, the only thing meanwhile missing for me was Bluetooth and a radio.
So, after unwrapping, installing and updating my new nano, I first realized - hey, where are all my games?? I bought several for my old nano because I quite like to sit on the plane, listen to music and play some small games to relax. Seems I have to do that with my phone from now on.. great. But ok, I can live with that.
But the one thing that I really can't figure out (and I refuse to believe that such an option was NOT included because this would totally suck): How can I lock those volume buttons? I mean, it absolutely doesn't make sense to develop an extra small and handy player to carry around with you (probably with the intention to put it in your trouser pockets, like I do???) and NOT think of providing a possibility to lock those buttons?? My old nano had a small switch on top, straight forward. No problem putting it in your pockets while doing sport or whatever, no accidential pausing of songs or adjusting of volume.
Does anyone know how to prevent these buttons from changing my volume settings or pausing the playlist when I carry it in my trouser pocket everytime I sit down? The button on top only locks the screen... but the buttons on the left side still work. I really hope I'm doing something wrong and there is a possibility to lock those. If not, why would I buy a tiny player if I have to fiddle around with it all the time because I can't put it in my pocket?

Try deleting all remnants of iTunes from your computer then download and install iTunes again.
What other USB devices are connected to your Dell?

TS1369 My iPod nano 7th gen is not recognised by iTunes in windows 8.1

When I plug, it reads a message (I translate from spanish): an iPod has been detected but it can't be read correctly. Unplug and plug and try again. If it perstists reinstal iTunes and try again. I've done all of that. I plugged the iPod when iTunes wasn't installed and it worked fine as an external disk. The iPod's screen shows that it is plugged until iTunes fails to recognise and then it shows the messsage when you explulse the iPod.
Any help may be useful.

Hi there - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me). You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
1) iTunes
2) Apple Software Update
3) Apple Mobile Device Support
4) Bonjour
5) Apple Application Support
Then you restart your computer.
Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
Then you restart your computer again.
Mine is working perfectly again now.
I hope it works for you,
Carmen.

IPod Nano 4th Gen wiped when connecting to iTunes 10.0

Hey all
Don't know if anyone else is having this issue... my iTunes went crazy just now (recently updated to version 10) when I routinely attached my iPod. Got this message saying "duplicate file" something or other, and the thing wouldn't sync. I tried to reboot it and ALL of my music had been wiped. Fun. And after restarting iTunes it still wouldn't sync (the same error message just kept coming up). Not fun.
Eventually had to restore the iPod to factory settings just to get the thing to switch on.
Is anyone else having this issue??

I am having a problem after upgrading to iTunes 10, I get a message that my iPod 'is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Well....I cannot locate this other iTunes Library and know if I sync with the one that opens I will lose all my current songs.

IPod Nano 7th Gen not appearing in itunes

My ipod nano 7th gen is not appearing in itunes, either the new one or the old. it is registered on the computer, but I can't access it through itunes. It was woring a few weeks ago. I have Windows 8 and the newest itunes.

I came across this problem three days ago. Have tried everything. Went through all the steps Apple suggests for solving this problem. Nothing worked. The iPod is recognized by my wife's MacBook, but not by my Windows 7 PC. I'm at wits end.

When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg
And this is what happens when I click properties and 'search for solutions': http://i47.tinypic.com/2iu3vrc.jpg (the box disappears after that, apparently having done nothing, when I search online for software it informs me my computer already has the best/latest installed)
