Nano won't reset or connect to iTunes

Okay, I've tried to do ALL of the 5 R's (several times), I did notice that Win7 won't let me delete the Temp file, because regardless of everything I've been able to find & shut down in the background, there always seems to be an open file, so that was a no-go.
My ipod shows up in Win7 as a device, but not as a drive (nor does it show up in the system tray for ejecting media), and it doesn't show up in iTunes at all, so I haven't been able to do the "Restore".
The iPod screen shows the "Connected - Eject before disconnecting", when linked to the PC. It still plays fine both via h-phones and over USB in my Civic, I just can't synch it with my iTunes. I still have plenty of space on this 8 Gig I want to fill up!
This started after the latest version download.
Can anyone help!?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same exact problem. I got a new Dell (Windows 7) and I cannot (my Ipod Gen 3) sync it with it. It seems to be frozen and I cannot get new tunes. My old computer was just fine.

  • My iPhones me is in recovery mode and won't reset when connected to iTunes

    I Recently updated my iPhone to iOS 8 but it has now gone into recovery mode it says to connect it to intunes but when I do it tells me to reset so I try that and it tries to update which it then tells me I can't do until I reset so then I start the process again and click on reset which leads into a never ending cycle

    Howdy Jhearmon,
    It sounds like your phone is in Recovery Mode and you are having difficulty restoring it with iTunes. That can be pretty frustrating, so I would recommend starting with the troubleshooting in the following article:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    If you are getting a specific error message or error number, I would recommend this article next:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • My ipod is stuck on the apple logo and won't let me connect to itunes to reset it what do i do?

    My ipod is stuck on the apple logo and won't let me connect to itunes to reset it what do i do?

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • IPad won't charge or connect to iTunes

    I've had my iPad for nearly 8months now and up until now it has worked perfectly.
    This morning I tried to connect my iPad to my iMac (10.5.8) so that I could sync it with iTunes however the iPad was totally unresponsive. The home screen (that normally lights up when connected) stayed blank and the device did not show up in iTunes.
    I've been browsing the discussions all morning and trying various things out but nothing has worked so short of travelling to my nearest Apple shop for help I'm really stuck.
    Here is a list of what I've already tried;
    1. Uninstalled and re-installed latest version of iTunes.
    2. Connected my iPhone 4 (using the same usb, cable etc) and synced that with iTunes without any problems
    3. Reset the default settings on the iPad.
    4. Restarted iPad and iMac numerous times.
    5. Cold re-booted the iPad (holding the home button and power button until the Apple logo appears).
    6. Checked that battery on iPad is over 50% (its actually at 95%).
    Hoping someone here can help ... I haven't tried restoring the iPad because if it still won't let me connect to iTunes i wont be able to re-install the backup.

    I would have them check out the USB port on the iPad. If you cannot get it to connect with multiple computers and multiple cables, the only thing left is the connector port on the iPad itself.
    Try an apple store or call them and see if you can send it in to be repaired/replaced.

    Try "Pacifist"!
    Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package

    My ipod touch screen froze on a blank white page and won't let me connect to itunes what to do?

    It works for many users. In some cases the white screen is due to a hardware problem and there is nothing that one can do short of getting someonet to know what they are doing and take the iPod apart andmaybe fix the hardware problem.

  • Nano 5th Gen will NOT reset or connect to iTunes

    I've tried the usual toggling of the hold button followed by the menu/select button on this Nano, which has worked on other models that I own. This Nano will not reset and isn't recognized when plugged into iTunes. Just the black screen no matter what. Out of warranty, so any suggestions other than taking to Apple would be greatly appreciated!

    If none of the suggestions mentioned in the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual and on the iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips website, you should take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. If you have Apple Care, take advantage of it by calling them.

  • 2nd gen ipod won't restart or connect to itunes

    My ipod sometimes won't be recognized by any computer if it's been connected to a non-computer usb port like a wall charger. This is normally fixed by reseting the ipod nano (toggle hold then press & hold menu + play/pause) but now the ipod won't reset using this method (I've tried multiple times). Is there a way to fix either of these problems?

    Oh sorry... I must have had that other doc open for another reply.  This is the actual iPod Reset document
