Nano not connecting a vista computer

Have made sure up to date iTunes but it is saying cannot identifiy
Any ideas???

1. Plug in your iPod, 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.

When my Nano is connected to my computer, it shows that I have music downloaded to it, but when i touch the screen to play the music, it is not showing up and is not available to play. I've tried reloading it with no success

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

My ipod nano 6th gen has a white screen that states ok to disconnect and it's not connected to the computer

I listened to my ipod last night. My son went to get it and it has a white screen that states ok to disconnect (it is not connected to the computer). It won't let me do anyting to it. I tried to hook it up to the computer and it changes to do not disconnect and then won't let me eject it - it says sync is done but it says I can't disconnect because files are being used somewhere else. Then I pulled it out and it goes back to ok to disconnect.
Hope someone can help me.

i sent mine off to craig at [email protected], it was £25.....like new again

why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

Doublechecking. Have you also 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

Nano Not Connecting to Windows

I think i have tried everything now. i did all the troubleshooting on Apple.com/support, tried resetting my nano
re-installing all of the software. i just cannot get my computer or even Itunes to recognize that my nano is
there. 1 time my nano said do not disconnect for the whole time it was plugged up but after that i cannot
even get it to say that. i have checked device manager, plug and play, my USB ports (which are 2.0). I
tried disabling my firewall. and putting the nano into disk mode. nothing i do can get it to recognize that
the nano is connected to my computer. the battery is fully charged and everything seems to be working properly
sometimes when i re-install the software it will say Error-1603 cannot install. but i downloaded the new version
of it and it installed fine. but it still does not sync with my ipod. i have a rather good knowledge of computers
and have tried everything that i can think of. my computer will not even recognize it as a portable hard-drive.
nothing shows up in the device manager or disk management. or in the control panel. my plug and play may
not be recognizing it but as far as i know everything (with maybe the exception of my plug and play) is
working. whenever i restart my computer it says do not disconnect for a few seconds and then it dissapears.
so i know that the usb port that it is plugged into is working.

Jason,
Just a thought, have you tried any other USB devices to determine if your PC recognizes them?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Its not even in the device manager

My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Not to charge or connect to itunes. My usb ports work fine with everything else. I went and bought a new wall charger that came with a synce cord and it works fine, as a wall charger with wont work with my computer. Ive done the whole rebooting, re downloading itunes, redownloading apple software, the whole 9 yards.
What exactly happens when I plug my ipod touch 4g up if it turns on like it suppose to but instead of going to the home screeen with the little lighting bult in the battery is just acts like its not even plugged in. It just goes to connect to itunes screen.
I sent it to apple and they told me that whatever was wrong with it wasnt under warrenty but didnt tell me what it was. Ugh! It doesnt have water damage, I checked the indicators. So what do I do now? I would rather not go and get it fixed and spend 100 dollars. I would rather try and figure it out myself. Help please!

From what Apple said it appears you have a hardware problem. I would either pay to get it fixed or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discus it with them.

Ipod nano Not detected in my computer or itunes

Okay, first off, I have tried several different things to correct this issue, and NOTHING has become remotely helpful.
My computer doesn't even make the little "ding" sound that I get with all my other usb devices upon plug in. The ipod will be charging and nothing else, nothing in device manager, my computer, itunes and wherever else it is at. The Ipod was given to my by a friend who moved away a few weeks ago, and I finally got the charger yesterday. The ipod can play songs and what-have-you but will not connect to the computer in anyway but to charge. Resetting does NOT work, I repeat, it does NOT work.
I cannot restore it as it doesn't even get detected by anything on the computer. The cord is NEW so it is not that, all the usb ports WORK so it couldn't be that, and it is not my computer as I tried on a laptop and another desktop. I refuse to send it in for repairs as I do not wish to spend money on something I haven't even got to use, and would be extremely upset to get it sent back saying it's faulty. :/
Oh and itunes is the latest version.
READ THE WHOLE THING BEFORE OFFERING HELP.
I will not read anything mentioning resetting, ports, computers, cable and all the stuff I have ALREADY tried.

How can I give a detailed description of everything
Well, you wrote you would not read any posts if you have already tried something so anyone responding would need to know exactly what you have tried.
Have you restarted the *iPod Service*?
"1- Quit iTunes.
2 - Right click on My Computer/Computer and click Manage. If Windows requires your permission to continue, click Continue.
3 - Click the plus symbol to the left of Services and Applications.
4 - Select Services listed under Services and Applications.
5 - Double click iPod Service in the right hand panel.
6 - Click the Stop button under the General tab and leave the iPod Service Properties window open.
7 - Connect your iPod and wait until it is visible in My Computer/Computer.
8 - Click the Start button in the iPod Service Properties window.
9 - Open iTunes."
Check your registry keys -> A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB thumb drive, an Apple iPod, or an external hard disk drive
The ipod is obviously on a working cable if it can charge form the usb.
Not necessarily.
A USB cable has 4 pins, 2 for power and 2 for communications/data transfer.
Don't even need the 2 comm lines for it to charge.
they will force me to pay too much for a new one.
They won't "force" you to do anything.

Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!
