Nano recognized in iTunes only when in disk mode...

I went through all of the 'r' process to restore the iPod Nano and reinstall , etc... but still iTunes recognizes the Nano only when I put it in Disk mode ! I can see it in windows but not in iTunes if it's in normal mode. Diagnostic tool says that everything is fine ...
Can someone help !
Thanks

Hey laudany!
Have you tried assigning your iPod a different drive letter? Follow these steps below:
Log off of any other users on your computer.
1 - Don't plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:

I hope that helps you.

  • HT1363 ipod not recognized in itunes, even while in disk mode

    My ipod classic is not recognized in itunes.  I tried resetting it, reinstalling itunes and even put it in disk mode.  Still it doesn't show up.  What else can I try?

    Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Ipad 4 won't turn on at all, and is recognized by itunes as being in recovery mode- when I try to restore it stalls on the portion stating "preparing device for restore" and on the page it says "itunes is restoring the software." Been like this for a day. I read the restore notes on apple, but this seems to be a little more unique than the standard recovery issues. Any ideas as to why I seem to keep stalling during the restore process?

    Couple of things I can think of before going to the Apple store.
    First, if you can, power off the iPad. Then connect it to the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it there at least an hour then try to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    Also, you mentioned you have the latest iTunes. But it would be good to check the actual version. If the iPad is running iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.

  • I was loading some CDs into my iTunes library when the disk drive refused to "suck in" the next CD.  Does anyone have a suggest on how I might proceed?

    I was loading some CDs into my iTunes library when the disk drive refused to "suck in" the next CD.  Does anyone have a suggest on how I might proceed?

    Yes, that is a Catch 22.  If you have another Mac you can connect your Mac to it in the Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, and use Disk Utility on the second Mac to try to run the Hardware Test from there.  Not sure if it's possible to a connected Mac though.
    You can try this several times in the Terminal app and then see if a disk can be fully inserted:
    Enter the following command followed by the Enter or Return key:
    drutil eject
    Do it several times and then try another disk.  (A long shot).

  • HT1363 My ipod nano 3rd generation appears to be in disk mode, I've tried to reset it per instructions, but it will not reset

    My ipod nano 3rd generation appears to be in disk mode and it will not reset. can anyone help

    Try to reset it more than once if necessary.  By a reset, I assume you mean, toggling the hold switch on and then off, then pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear right?
    If nothing else, you'll need to let the iPod's battery fully drain.

  • Mini not recognized by iTunes, only charges

    My Ipod mini will not show up on iTunes or just in general on my computer at all. I am connecting it through a USB port that I use mainly to make sure it has power and everything else. I've read the entire troubleshooting page on how to fix it and I've tried everything on there except the Ipod Restore because its impossible to restore my Ipod if it isn't recognized at all. I just got my Ipod and I really want to use it, so if anyone could give me some help it would b greatly appreciated.

    I have the same problem:
    My iPod is not appearing in iTunes or explorer. Only when I go to hardware manager windows admits that there is something that is not installed properly. But when I start the hardware manager and put in the CD as required by the hardware assistant it says: Hardware couldn’t be installed.
    So it is not even possible to reset my iPod, because is not recognized by the iPod Updater. I had to go to another computer to reset the iPod. After that my computer is still not recognizing it. So installed the latest version of iTunes and Updater, but it doesn’t help. I installed also the latest drivers for my computer, but it did not work. Running the iPod in disc mode doesn’t change anything, too.
    The iPod is not listed under disc management so I can’t change the Drive from E to G.
    I tried the inactivation of all Microsoft-services according to the protocol from the apple web page, but it did not work, even after installing the latest version of iTunes.
    I've read the entire troubleshooting page on how to fix it.
    The message on the iPod mini display is always the same when I connect it: “do not disconnect” and after about 3 seconds “OK to disconnect”. But the iPod is never listed in windows explorer or iTunes. I also reseted it, when it was connected to the computer. It doens't seem to charge on any of the USB2.0 ports.
    I completely run out ideas and I am about to send it to service.
    Can anyone help?
    I use Windows XP on a Fujitsu Siemens 1437G laptop computer.

  • Ipod 160g does not appear on itunes but it appears on windows when in disk mode

    my ipod 160 g does not appear in itune (disk mode or not) but it appears in windows as IPOD (F:) only when it's in disk mode. I tried reseting it by holding the menu and center button it stop but then it goes back to the apple logo screen and stay on untill the battery dies and nothing else happens how can I reset it to is factory settings?

    When you connect it in Disk Mode, leave it charging the iPod Battery till Full Charge.
    In the meantime, 30 minutes or so into the charging, ( I just want the Ipod to have sufficient power for any harddisk Operation)
    go to Window Explorer (or My Computer),
    Select the Ipod, right click properties, ->tools->error checking->Check Now->fix error
    After the error fixing (may take a while but then you still have to wait till the battery charging is complete.)
    Disconnect the iPod from the PC.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete. - Done above
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

  • Ipod not recognized in itunes, error message: repair disk

    When I connect my ipod to my mac I get an error message saying my mac cannot repair the disk, its asking me to back up the disk and reformat asap.  My ipod is not being recognized in itunes but it is in the finder.  help!

    Thank you so much for trying to help.  When I tried to do that, I got this error message when I tried to verify and repair the disk:
    Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
    How do you go about doing that ^ as in reformating the disk (all of my music is backed up to a hardrive already)  Or should I just try and erase the info on my ipod?
    Thanks for your help!!!!

  • IPod appears in Finder,  but not in iTunes.  iPod in Disk Mode

    I have a 5th Gen, 30G iPod that cut out in mid-song this morning. The hard drive starting making the "tick, tick, tick...pause...tick, tick, tick" sound. I reset it and it does not show any of the music on it (only pictures). When I plugged it into the computer, it appears on the desktop (eventually) and in Finder, but not in the iTunes Source List.
    After working my way through the first 4 of the 5 R's, I have come to Restore. Since I couldn't get the iPod to appear in the Source Menu, I haven't been able to hit the Restore button in iTunes. So I have placed the iPod into Disk Mode, and reattached it to the computer. Still nothing, just it icon on the destop, but nothing in iTunes.
    I assume that the Data is Corrupt on the Hard Drive of the iPod, but how can you restore an iPod if you can't get iTunes to recognize it?!
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

    Hey there,
    Have you had a chance to work through the troubleshooting solutions offered in this Apple support document? If not, it would be a good place to start. Hope it helps.
