Nano only recognized by iTunes after computer restart(with nano connected)

My brand new Nano just wouldn't connect to iTunes. I tried various things for about 2 hours. At one point it actually did connect to and sync with iTunes, but iTunes froze when I clicked the "eject ipod" button. From there on I couldn't reconnect to iTunes. After an exhausting amount of uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes and following apples suggestions I took my 8gb Nano to an Apple store. They couldn't figure it out either and actually DOAed it.
Just by chance when we restarted my laptop, the new Nano was already connected so iTunes immediately opened and syncd with it. At that point, both myself and the "Genius" at the Apple bar concluded the first one was just bad and that this one is ok.
While at home later that day, I had connection issues once again(windows sees it but not iTunes). This is when I figured out that I can ONLY connect to iTunes when I Turn on/Restart my computer while my Nano is connected to the USB port.
I'm using Windows Xp Home. I have the latest edition of iTunes and the Nano is up to date as well.
One last note; I used the following page to free up my system from "mostly unneccessary" services.
http://www.dead-eye.net/WinXP%20Services.htm
I might have disabled a service that iTunes/ipod needs running.
If anyone has had or heard of this problem before or sees a service on that page that might be affecting my computer, please let me know.
Presario V3000Z   Windows XP  

I missed a comment in my previous post. In msconfig I had some services not checked and I turned them all on, including the Portable Media Service number service.
I just rebooted with that one unchecked and it had no effect.
So I would recommend having all the services checked in msconfig. One other thing you can do is compare your services list to mine. I'll include some information below. Let me know if you can determine if one of these is the culprit.
In Program Files>Accessories>System Tools> System Information you can see the running processes and other things. See if these are similar to yours. Hopefully the formatting will be correct here:

    Hello, Pete. 
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • Three 5th gen nanos. One NOT recognized by itunes and computer; other 2 fine.

    I have 3 daughters and three 5th gen nanos. I use the same cord, plug and computer, and one is not being recognized by itunes or computer and will not charge; other 2 fine. Something wrong with just the one. Resetting (pressing menu and center until apple appears?) doesn't work. One daughter very SAD. Please help if you can.
    Oh, and I've also put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.

    I think I found the problem, and it may be useful to others. I cosely looked at the dock connector next to the earphone jack and found that it has a chip in it. Not good news for Gen 5 ipod nano's. Apparently, the connector is bonded to the logic board. I did find that if I gently put pressure on it in one directio or the other, it will make a connection.
    Must break the bad news to daughter. Sad face.

  • Why isn't my Ipod nano 6th generation being recognized on itunes after updating software to 1.2

    I found that all the movies that I want on my nano have iTunes extras.

  • IPod Nano not recognized in iTunes, desktop, iPod reset

    I went to update my iPod Nano's music selection and found it isn't showing up in iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes, restarted the computer, reset the Nano and still nothing. It does not show up in Disk Utility but does show up in Apple Disk Profiler. When I try the iPod updater, it says "waiting for the iPod to be ready". My 30 GB iPod works just fine, immediately recognized by iTunes. As soon as I connect the iPod Nano to the computer, it goes to "Do not Disconnect", darkens, and stays there. It does charge. How can I reformat the Nano if iTunes or iPod updater doesn't see/recognize it?

    A couple of pages later in the forum, I saw something about disk mode. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    I tried that out and my Nano did mount. I then was able to restore the Nano to factory settings, after which time everything worked ok.

  • IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

    iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

  • IPOD touch not recognized by itunes after reinstalling OS because of crash

    My IPOD Touch isn't recognized by ITUNES after the OS got reinstalled. I hook it up and ITunes doesn't respond, it's like it isn't even connected.
    I've restarted both devices (nothing), I've tried both USB ports (they're fine), nothing. Any suggestions?

  • FontBook does not keep settings after computer restart

    I have thousands of fonts on my HD folder, and a standards set of System and Library fonts. Any time I disactivate and acivate certain font families, my FontBook keeps these settings (for activation and disactivation) ONLY UNTILL next computer restart cycle.
    After restart, when I load my FontBook application to check my fonts settings (for to make the fonts I set previously working again), Fontbook starts activating all my thousands fonts in my custom library, taking munites of waiting for a spinning wheel. I also do not see (off) signs for fonts diactivated during previous session. I see lots of duplicate font warning because Font Book is auto-activate all.
    Consiquently, I have to reppeat all the process of activation/disactivation and to help my computer working with less fonts load and resolve duplicates.
    So, why Font Book does not keep setting for fonts activation/disactivation in a custom library after computer restart?

    The 1.5TB is Unformatted, so one would assume that it is already damaged, empty, erased or unusable because of the windows Format.
    If it was formatted by a windows computer, then your you will need to check it on that windows computer to see if the data is still there? If so then you will need to move the data to another drive, format the drive for cross platform use and copy the data back to it.

  • Hi I lost my stuff from iTunes after I synced with my iTouch

    Hi, I don't know if anyone else may have experienced this problem but I lost all my content from iTunes after I synced with my iTouch, but I had a message saying that my iTouch was authorized from a different user but I authorized it on my account but when it synced, I had lost all my music, videos, and apps that I had in my iTunes library. I have all my stuff in my iTouch. All of my content are still in the iTunes folder, but I see the XML document of the iTunes Library (where all my information is), and 7 Temp. Files in the iTunes folder as well. Is there a way to get all of my content back in place?
    Thanks,
    Jose

    Syncing an iDevice with a computer does not cause the content on the computer to disappear.
    Was there actually content in the iTunes library prior to syncing?
    Are the files still on the computer?
    In the iTunes folder, are there multiple iTunesLibrary.itl files, like an old copy(ies)?

    That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:
