Nano isn't recognised by Windows XP on US, 2 other ipods in family are.

Recently replaced under warrantee, 4 Gig Nano isn't seen by Windows or Itunes. I've tried Itunes diagnostics help, none of it solved the issue, also the rest of the apple online help stuff. The strange thing is my wifes nano (brought 6 months ago) and a old 15Gb Ipod work fine. Anyone got a bright idea?

Gheti, check out my post here:

I dont think you are going to get much help here. I have not yet! Sounds like we may have similar difficulties!

Help - my iPod Nano is not recognised by windows

Hi I have recently bought a new ipod nano (8gb Aluminium case) and it is not recognised by windows. I have run through all of the trouble shooting tips (reseting ipod, reinstalling itunes, getting latest windows updates, even deleting my temp files). I have also tried all USB ports and tested them with a memory stick to make sure that they are working.
I can hear the standard windows sonic (ding-dong) when I plug in the ipod, but there is no indication of it in my computer or itunes.
Can anyone help me here?

Have you tried putting your iPod into disk mode, then connect it to your computer?

Why is my ipod nano 7 not recognised in windows 8.1?

My ipod nano isn't recognized in itumes since I upgraded tot windows 8.1.
Help!

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.

Need help! nano isn't recognized by windows!

I hooked my brand new ipod nano up to my computer and it appears to be charging. I have done the 5 Rs one hundred times each. It shows up in the device manager with a yellow question mark and exclamation point. When I plug it in, it makes the little dinging noise, and sometimes asks if I want to install the new hardware, but it can't find the driver to install it. It doesn't appear under My COmputer and if I open iPod updater, it says "plug in an ipod to update it."
I have read that sometimes it needs formatting, but under properties it says it is formatted for windows, and I can't find it in My Computer to format it.
It is recognized by other computers. I'm so frustrated! Whats going wrong?

It is now saying unrecognized port. I don't know how to reset this. When I receieved my Ipod I just plug it in to my computer and Itunes recognized it right away. And now it doesn't. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano? It comes up with the message "This device not supported". Strangely my Iphone IS recognised. The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

IPod Nano 4th gen - screen flickers, won't turn on, isn't recognised by computer or iTunes.

My 4th gen iPod Nano has been playing up.
When I connect it to my computer or a dock, the screen flickers with the Apple logo. Once unplugged, it won't turn back on and the screen goes completely black. I tried to reset it numerous times (both connected and unplugged) but that didn't help at all.
I tried to see if I could fix it by restoring it and putting it in disk mode, but the iPod isn't recognise by any of the computers in my house and doesn't appear in either iTunes or 'My Computer' so that really doesn't help. I'm positive it's not an issue with my computer or USB cable because the other iPods in my house connect just fine.
Any idea on how to fix this?

If you have synced your iPod touch to a computer, it should be relatively easy to fix. Plug the iPod into the computer to which it is synced. Once plugged in, hold the home (square button on front) and the power button on the top for approximately 10-15 seconds. After the apple disappears from your screen a couple times, a new screen will popup indicating to start iTunes on your computer. Once you start iTunes, you will be given the option to begin the restore mode and then choose to restore your particular iPod. Once again, you have to had synced your iPod to a computer to utilize this option. Not sure how I figured it out, but I finally did! Good luck and let me know if it does/doesn't work for you.

My 6th generation nano isn't recognized by my computer. When I plug it in an error message pops up, which says "USB Device Not Recognized". Does anyone know how to start trouble shooting this. I updated both windows and iTunes.

Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

Updated ipod nano is now not recognised by windows or itunes

Hi,
I am sure there would be numerous people who are in the same situation. Being computer illiterate does not help the situation i tell you. Can anyone please help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is everything up to date?
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, have you seen and tried this?
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
Finally, when you connect your iPod to your computer, open My Computer. See if the iPod appears there. If it does...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
