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?

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:

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 is not connect to windows or itunes but it still shows up on ipod

i had to re set my ipod the other day and ever since then it will NOT connect to windows of itunes but every time it shows up on the ipod that it is connected!

Welcome to the discussions,
try again to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again. If still no luck, restore "as new ipod"

ITouch not connecting to windows or itunes, and will not charge.

Okay, so, I was charging my iTouch one day in my computer, and every time I plug it in, iTunes launches and then starts to automatically sync my iTouch, which I DO NOT WANT. Anyways, I quit the sync from itunes as I always do, but this time, when I tried to quit, nothing happened and itunes froze up. 1 Ctrl+Alt+Dlt later, I tried to end the program, it was being pesky so I had to try and end it a few times. My iTouch finished charging and I hane not thought anything of it since then. The day after that, I was trying to charge my iTouch before work, and I went to get ready while it was charging. I came back to an iTouch that was not charged at all. It does not connect to Windows or iTunes, but still for some reason retains enough battery to display the battery symbol. I have used the iTunes helper to try and guide me through the problem, but the steps I took did not fix the problem and I do not feel like taking my iTouch in to get serviced. So, in overview, my iTouch will not charge, connect to windows or iTunes, all after I ended iTunes from the task manager. My iTunes works just fine, my iTouch is the problem. I dont know what operating system it is running on, and I dont know how to update it, but it is at least 4.3.1.
P.S. I would love to get some speedy help on this. If its any reward, you have many internets up for grabs for answering my question. Over 9000 ^_^

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPOd in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

TS1369 ipad will not connect to windows cpu

ipad will not connect to windows cpu

If you are still having problems after all those tips I would suggest trying another cable the one you have may be faulty. An iPhone cable is fine for sync, but wouldn't suggest it for charging. Other than that call apple support, log a problem, and most likely they will help you book a appointment at an apple store.
I use a win7 64x machine and have no problems so I doubt windows is your issue.
Good luck.

Ipod nano does not connect to Windows and itunes

Dear All
in my family we have 3 ipods: a shuffle, a ipod 20gb and a nano. While the first 2 are easily connecting to windows and itunes, the nano doesn't and does not recognise the USB port of my laptop[message 'unkwnon device']. I have tried, I think, most of the suggestion I found on the apple support and in the forum. Does somebody know any 'special' tip, my son is really getting frustrated by this situation because he can't get the same music. Please help. Thanks in advance
ciao

7th gen nano not recognized by windows 8.1 as a drive OR itunes

When i plug in (USB) my 7th gen nano, my PC (Windows 8.1) doesn't recognize it as a drive (it pops up as a drive for about 2 seconds then goes away) and itunes says its detected but cant be identified properly. My 4th gen nano connects just fine.

6th gen nano not recognized by windows 7 64 bit

My nano is not seen by my computer or Itunes. also when i download itunes there appear to be no drivers for mobile support. what am i doing wrong? I tried all the steps found on apple support and nothing works. My sync cable is brand new and all my usb ports work fine. help please.

Working solution on win 7 32 & 64 with driver lj1010serieshb-vista, did as follow:
connected printer, windows tried to auto install and failed, device was listed as unspecified.
googled for lj1010serieshb-vista(32/64).zip driver, downloaded from hp website, unzipped and extracted files.
Start > Run > PrintManagement.msc , then Print Servers > Localhost , right click on drivers > add driver > next > choose x86/x64 > next > have disk > browse to location of extracted
files, select hpc1015e.inf > ok > select hp laserjet 1010 hb > next > finish
Repeat above process and this time select select hp laserjet 1015 hb > next > finish , this step is needed as stated on previous post some files are missing on the 1010 driver and adding 1015 fixes the problem.
Now back to Devices and printers , right click on the unspecified device > troubleshoot > then will ask to search for driver, select "apply this fix" , it will find and install the correct driver from previous step > then will ask to set printer
as default, select "apply this fix" > then will ask if you want to share printer, select "skip this fix" if you don't want to share > close troubleshooter.
Now i have perfectly working printer, 'preferences' is working and not crashing win explorer and printer doesn't hung.
I guess you could first add the two drivers to your system before
connecting your printer and it would install perfectly but who would though this old printer would not work trough windows update.
thanks to the people who went by trial and error to find a working solution.

Nano not recognized in windows or itunes

Hello all, I have a new laptop with windows 8.1 and will recognize my ipod touch but not my older nano, it's like i doesn't exist. It's not in itunes or USB drivers. I've tried reinstalling itunes, tried different leads, it works still on my old pc. Is there a compatibility issue maybe ? thanks

6th generation ipod nano not shown in windows 8 or itunes

ipod nano briefly appears in windows then disappears and is not shown in itunes at all. I get error message saying "an ipod has been detected, but could not be identified properly" Have re-installed itunes, reset the ipod and restarted the laptop many times. Any advice please?

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.

Leopard Not connecting to Windows XP

Having a real problem connecting my macbook via ethernet through a router to my windows XP computer. Windows XP can see my mac, and I can browse my files, and sometimes my mac can see the Windows XP box in the finder, along with various other computers on the network: but it cannot connect to any of them. I click connect as, and it does nothing apart fro telling me it is connecting, and then 5 minutes later it says Connection Failed. File sharing is enabled on both computers, I have tried connect via SMB, ftp etc using my mac's IP address from the Windows Computer, and vice versa using my Mac IP address. They are both set up using DHCP. I cannot see why this is not working, as they were working fine only a week ago. All went wrong when i unplugged my macbook from the ethernet connection. Anyone got any ideas? Thank you in advance.

James, I feel you pain. I too have the same problem, however, my network(ethernet) has a total of 5 computers. One of which is a macbookpro. I can see all of the computers except one. When I try to connect, I get the "connecting to......" and nothing happens as well. Other computers are "visible" and available to connect to. I am new to the Mac and literally have had no problems setting up everything except for this one issue. I am researching other settings for the computer which will not connect, and looking for any differences. Maybe firewall setttings, maybe something in my Norton application. I will keep looking at this post to see if anyone has ideas and or suggestions. One other question for you as a fellow Mac and Xp user...Do you see your Mac on the Windows network places? I do not. Look forward to the forum helping out soon!

Wyse Thin client not connecting to Windows 2008 R2 server

Configuration
SBS 2011 Server
Windows 2008 R2 server with Remote Desktop Services installed, License Manager installed.
WYSE WT3125SE thin clients with Windows CE 5
I setup the Windows 2008 with Remote Desktop Services and was able to successfully connect the Thin client. Then I installed the License Manger and applied my Open license using User Cals. Was able to login. Next day I get the following
error-"Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again" I still can connect fine from other machines even Windows Home Ed.
I remove license server and still was unable to connect. Built a second Windows 2008 R2 server with RDS on it. Was able to connect without issue. Pointed it to the first RDS server license manager and have still been able to connect with
the Thin Client. The thin client can rdp to the SBS server without issue in admin mode, can connect to RDS2 server but not RDS1 with the license manger. So my issue is with the license and so my question is what is it with the license server
running on that server that is keeping thin client from connecting. I even did a reload of RDS1 and tested connecting throughout the process and it worked up until I applied the license and then it stops. And then if I uninstall the license, rds, remove
from domain still not able to connect. Any help would be appreciated.

We had the same problem with older terminals after cloning a 2008R2 rds server and sysprep it.
The original rds server worked fine but when the old terminals connect to the new 1 they come up with the error : Because
of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again"
After reading all of the postings about this issue and tried the reactivate solution of the license server,
I was sure that it had something to do with the x509 certificates that are generated the first time you connect to a valid license server.
What I did, I installed a new license server activate it but did not install licenses on it.
I pointed the defective rds server to the newly installed license server and deleted the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM
Certificate
X509 Certificate
X509 Certificate ID
X509 Certificate2
Then reboot.
After the reboot all old terminals can connect fine again. As final step I pointed the rds server to the same license server as the other ones,
reboot and all worked fine.
So conclusion is that when you pont a rds server to a license server that has the new type of licenses on it it will generate the wrong x509 certificates
that are not supported by the older clients, by pointing it first to 1 without any rds calls on it, it generates the older x509 certificates which are compatible with the older rdp clients then the switch to new license server will then not regenerate the
x509 certs so it keeps working.
I hope this helps someone
This issue was driving me crazy so very happy that it is resolved now
Cheers Frits
