Need Ipod nano drivers
Hi!
I got a mayor problem. Out of pure stupidity I accedently uninstalled my Ipod as I was reinstalling windows on my computer. So now there aint a thing on it and I need some kind of software or drivers so I can use it again. Is there anywere to download these things? And please dont direkt me to the download page and say "If it aint there, it doesnt exist" because its too much information to go through and I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. I've already tried to get help by phone but they just direkted me to this page and told me to look and hope for some luck.

The drivers for the iPod are part of the iPod Updater Utility.
You can download the latest iPod Updater here:

Windows Vista Ipod Nano drivers??
When I connect my iPod nano 4gb to my new laptop, with iTunes 7 installed, it tells me it needs to install drivers and insert CD...but I dont have the CD!
Can anyone give me a link for these drivers at all, or give me adivice on how to get around this?
I've previously read a suggestion to manually search for drivers by specifying 2 distinct folders - System32 I think, and also going through Control Panel, Devices, Ipod, then selecting different options for updating drivers.
Nothing works yet!!!
Please help guysSomething is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.

Hi, I reset my computer to factory settings and now my Ipod Nano 4th Gen's drivers no longer exist. Does anyone know where I can re-download the drivers?
Install the current version of iTunes.

MS Windows Professional 2000, SP3 and IPOD Nano drivers
I've just received my new iPOD nano and trying to instal software on my laptop I found that it requests SP4 that I couldn't install on my laptop due to policy requirements.
Could I download any previous release or what can I do?I have Administration rights, too so do you advise me to instal SP 4?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Ciao MatzWelcome to the forums.
Well, if your laptop is not yours, and your not supposed to install anything new on it, such as SP4, then I wouldn't advise you to break the rules.
If you have Admin rights, meaning you are allowed to do things, cause you are admin, then go ahead, cause the service packs are designed to make Windows run better. The service packs don't hurt, they help.
Hope this helps! -
I need iPod nano chromatic help.
So after I got my new Andriod phone at christmas I hadn't been using my iPod a lot. so after 4 months of not using it i went to turn it on, but it was showing an Apply symbol so I figured it was dead. I then tried charging it which worked, but now whever I try to plug my iPod nano into my iPod docking station it shows a black screen, then when I take it off it shows the Apple symbol and after 30 seconds it goes back to my menu screen. However, it does this to almost anything I plug it into besides my computer. I got my iPod nano chromatic in 2008 I believe. Is it just that the bttery is dying or is somthing wrong with my iPod.
Other facts: My iPod is just about 100% full of songs (including 1 video), haven't dropped it in a year or so, and it's 4 GBThank you :) I thought that that's what was happening. Seems like my iPod is reaching the end of it's life :(

Searching for iPod nano drivers
It seems that when I connect my iPod on my windows 2000 pc, it says "installing hardware" and then it wants me to find a driver for iPod.But, no matter how much I have searched I haven't found something.Any ideas please??answer ASAP
No need to get snippity.
The drivers are part of iTunes 7, and SP4 is a requirement for the iPod to work properly which is why I asked. They are valid questions and I understand your issue.
Try uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. -
Problem recognizing new Ipod nano
When I connect my new ipod nano to my mac and open itunes, the nano device is not recognized. How do it get it to connect?
To clarify Nathan's post:
The way the iPod works under Windows requires a certain file (iPodService.exe) to be running.
However, this service can only run on one account at a time. So Windows opens it in the first account opened. If you switch users, the service is still running (only) in the first account running.
A simple restart, followed by logging in to your account, will fix this, because your account will be given access to the service.
In the future, your options are to use the Log Out feature instead of Fast User Switching, or to disable the service from running under any accounts other than your own. The former is simple, the latter, not so much, but I'll include instructions so that you can do it if you're comfortable with the somewhat advanced options you'll need to access.
About Fast User Switching in iTunes for Windows
How to force iPodService to start in only one account
Use to avoid the logoff problem
Open the account you want it permanently off of, go to the desktop, right click on My Computer, and hit Manage.
Hit Services & Applications>Services>iPodsrv (or iPodservice, it's an older version).
Double click, set the 'startup type' to Disabled, and it won't open in that account.
Rinse, repeat for any other accounts as needed.

My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas. I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one. However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13. Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely. I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw).
Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod. I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer. I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not. I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour. He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck!
Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums. So...my question is: Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what? I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved. Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

Got a ipod nano for Christmas. Installed already bought tunes on it with my computer at the time which was running Vista OS. Had to buy a new computer in March with Windows 8. Did not buy any songs until April 29th or so...but they will not show in my ipod nano. Talked with a tech and he got my songs into the new computer. However, after we hung up, I tried to download the 2 new songs into my ipod and it would not do it. I noticed that the "cloud" icon was not by any of the songs - only the word: downloaded. I am thinking that since this is a 64 bit computer that I need to do something else, but don't know what. Can you help me? Thank you
Judy1942So you have tried a different USB sync cable and as well as plugging it into all the USB ports on your system? Did you try removing all other USB peripherals (excluding keyboard and mouse if necessary) to see if that did any good?
What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac?

Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP
I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart
From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod. -
I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?
I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again... -
I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?
Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister
