Nano not connecting to istore

I just bought my son a 4g (8gb) nano and have been trying to get it to register and up date the software. Will not connect to istore and gives message "itunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The network connection timed out." I have made sure my connection is working. I have run the diagnostic from the iTunes software and it says to check to dns settings and clear the dns cache. I have done this and they are all correct. I am running iTunes version 8. It will sync with the computer just won't connect to update on the net. Can anyone please help me with this problem.

You will want to post this question in the iTunes forum:

TS1369 why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

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:

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?

Ipod Nano Not connecting to Windows 8, Itunes

I am unable to get my Ipod Nano to connect to Itunes. My computer is operating with the newest versions of Windows 8 and Itunes. I have completed ALL the steps in the troubleshooting guide through Apple. I would like to use my Nano during the delivery of my son next week. I have looked for answers all over the internet, with no luck. Can anyone help? I see that many people have had the same issue. (My Ipad also did not work). Again, I have completed ALL of the troubleshooting items

Ipod Nano not connecting to PC

I am having trouble getting my ipod to connect with my PC.
It has worked previously, as i have transfered 3gb of songs to my Ipod Nano so far.
However now when i try to connect my Ipod to my computer, i plug it in, and nothing happens. I can play with my ipod, there is no "Do not Disconnect" symbol appearing.
However, if i actually bend down the plastic part of the connector side to my ipod, so that it is kind of a 10° angle to my ipod (thus bending the connection isnide my ipod i guess) it reconises it.. Do Not Disconnect appears and it appears on itunes.
However i dont want to be constantly bending the connector down so that i can transfer songs, beacuse not only is it inconvenient, but it can't be good for my ipod.
I have no idea why its doing this, I have reset my ipod, re-installed, updated ipod software, tried different ports, i also tried my mates ipod lead to see if it was mine that was faulty. this didnt help, same problem.
I understand i can send it in for a service, but wasn't sure if this would come under servicable conditions?
Would appreciate some help that doesn't require sending my ipod away, but if there is no other choice, then i guess ill have to.
Thanks in advance

It's woorking!
Ok, after some 40 hours trying to figure out what was wrong in my case, I think I might have found the problem. The newest ipod software (I think) requires USB 2.0. I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop running Windows XP Pro SP2. There are several USB ports: 2 in the front and 4 in the back. One of the first things I did was go to the device manager and check whether I had USB 2.0. Indeed, there was a USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller. All the problems I encountered were the same whether I used the two ports on the front or the two lower ports on the back. I went to the store for the second time ready to turn in my ipod nano and try to get my money back, but they told me that my computer didn't have a USB 2.0 port and that was the reason I was having trouble. They made me buy a USB 2.0 PCI card and sent me home. Before I proceeded to install the card, I carefully revised my ports. That's when I realized I had a printer connected to another USB port, ánd because of that I didn't notice I had two extra USB ports that carried that funny symbol you will find on the USB ipod connector. I hadn't tried the ipod on the port the printer was connected to, neither on the one next to it. I hooked my ipod to the ipod-virgin port and it worked! Finally! itunes recognized my ipod and I was able to upload songs and all. I didn't realize that even if you have one or two 2.0 USB ports, the others aren't necessarily 2.0 (on the device manager there were other host controllers that were not "Enhanced"). I guess this is what happened. I can't come up with any other explanation.

Nano not connecting to iTunes (may be a Norton issue)

When I plug in my iPod Nano to my computer via USB, Norton Anti-Virus pops up to do a scan as it usually does. I haven't updated my Nano in about a month and this is the first time that Norton has froze and not allowed my iPod to connect claiming it wasn't properly ejected (although I hadn't ejected it or physically unplugged it). On my iPod's screen, it says that it's connected via USB, but it isn't showing up in the iTunes source list or on my desktop. I also have an iPhone 4 which doesn't have a problem connecting... it only seems to be my Nano. I've reset my Nano, switched USB ports, and cords and nothing has changed. Is there any way to fix this? I don't know if my Nano is the problem or if the Norton software is getting in the way. Unfortunately, I need to have the Norton software for school. Is there any way to get my iPod to connect?

Ipod nano not connecting to itunes or updater

I just bought my new ipod nano a few days ago. Ever since I got it, it has not been able to connect to itunes and gets a "ipod service error" in the updater. However, it is recognized im my computer as a removable disk. I have tried all of the apple support suggestions, tried formatting it, reinstalling, amongst many other things.
I realize my problem now is that the ipodservice.exe is not running at all in processes in windows task manager. I looked in the bin folder of the ipod in program files, and it is there so it doesn't make sense that it doesn't run.
If anyone has any suggestions as to why this exe file is not running please help me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. When I first got my ipod out of the box I plugged it into the computer and put files on it, rather than installing the software first (how stupid of me). I wonder if this is the cause of it not working now.

HT201413 6th generation iPod Nano not connecting properly

My iPod used to work on my computer and now I am having problems getting it to connect and stay connected. When I can get it to stay connected, iTunes will not recognize it. I have gone through the troubleshooting steps already. Please help!

Nano not connecting with iTunes

I have windows xp and my computer recognizes the usb but every time I open up iTunes it doesn't recognize my nano. The "do not disconnect" flashes. Any help?

wait a little, it takes mine a little time to reconize my nano but it does i have windows xp too.

Itunes 10.7 not connecting to istore

it just keeps trying and gives no error message
have reinstalled windows 7 64bit
restalled itunes still the same
the PC worked with the last version at the last version still on my laptop works ok what have they done
i suppose if it can not be fixed i dont buy anything form itunes

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

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.

Connection to iStore failure (10,2,1,1)

I am unable to get or browse for content on my PC at present.
I did the Diagnostic tests, connection to internet and itunes fine, could not connect to istore, error code 11222 given for certain operations.
NO FURTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE as iTunes needs iStore to make the report - so a complete waste of time!
[Not network connection problem iPod touch connects through the same router no problems -- unfortunately the content is not downloading to the touch].

It's a check to ensure that you can reinstall iTunes 10.2.1 in 10.6.6, since you can't in 10.6.7. Then, try installing the 10.6.7 COMBO update. If that also breaks iTunes, then if you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Cannot delete music from ipod nano if not connected!

I couldn´t believe it´s not possible to delete files from my ipod nano 4G when not connected to my PC !! I use it to record talks (w/ XtremeMac´s MicroMemo) and I needed to make some room to record important talks in a seminar and I found it´s impossible to delete some downloaded music! It´s unbelieveable such simple and useful feature is not implemented yet even in this (otherwise excellent) newest generation ipod!!!
Would it be likely a future firmware with this feature?

"Would it be likely a future firmware with this feature?"
No one here would know what future upgrades Apple have planned and they don't as a rule pre-announce what will be contained in Firmware updates. You can leave your feedback/feature request at this link: Apple Product Feedback

Hi my 3rd gen iPod nano is not connecting to iTunes - the error message says there is missing software to communicate with the device. I am running iTunes 10.4 on XP and I have tried all the troubleshooting routes to no avail - anybody help me out?

I can't get Itunes to communicate with my 3rd gen Nano - I've reinstalled iTunes several times but still get the same error message for both mine and my wife's ipod - same version of 3rd gen. All the troubleshooting guide has been followed but still not connecting.
Any ideas?

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.
