New iPod Nano 5G Not Recognized

Okay, this is a weird one.
I bought an iPod Nano from Apple and it is not recognized by my Mac Pro. My Macbook sees it just fine and so does a Windows PC at work.
I've followed the troubleshooting found in TS1410 on Apple Support. In addition, on the very same Mac Pro with the same USB cable and USB port, iTunes sees my iPhone perfectly fine.
When I click on Apple, About this Mac, click More Info to launch System Profile and look under USB, it sees my iPod Nano as well. However, the iPod Nano does not show up in finder or my Mac Pro.
Any ideas on possible troubleshooting?

Oddly enough, after another reboot, it is now working.
Good luck to everyone else!

    my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • My new ipod nano is not recognized by ITunes.

    I have installed the latest ITunes software.  But when I connected my new nano, the device was not recognised and I am unable to download anything on to it. Can anyone suggest a remedy, please?

    You'll need to need to work through each suggestion in this Apple support document as necessary.

    What shows up on the iPod's screen when you plug it in? Are you plugging the iPod into a USB port located directly on your PC versus a USB hub?
    What happens if you reset the iPod with it still connected to your PC?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Do you have any USB devices plugged in?  If so, remove them all, minus your keyboard and mouse and reboot your PC.  Then open iTunes and connect your iPod Nano once again.

  • My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by itunes.

    My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by itunes.  I did all of the troubleshooting and even uninstalled Apple Mobile Device.  I can't get it back.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi MartyP680, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that you're receiving a message that your iPod nano can't be identified properly, and you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes. You've also isolated this behavior to only one of your PCs. 
    If the issue persists, there are some additional tips in this article that may help, including verifying that the Apple Mobile Device Support service installed properly and is running:
    iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod could not be identified properly - Apple Support
    The "Learn More" section also mentions some other potentially conflicting software to look for on your PC. 
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge.  I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time.  I drains to the red line in less than 2 days.  My husband's nano will last a week this way.

    You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new."  Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • My new ipod nano does not sync the ipod name cannot be synced the required disk cannot be found

    my new ipod nano does not sync the ipod name cannot be synced the required disk cannot be found

    Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
    I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
    If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
    Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

  • New IPOD Nano will not sync.  iTunes recognizes it, I think.  It knows its there and says I can transfer purchases from it but it will not let me sync it to my existing itunes.

    I received a new IPOD nano for CHristmas.  Itunes shows it there on summary, it is showing with the eject symbol.
    However, when I go to file/sync, it allows me to transfer purchases but not sync it.  It also does not show up in my playlist like my older NANO does.
    I have reset, I have toggled security on and off.  I am current on the software on both my IPOD and ITunes.

    I was having the same problem...plugged in my new device and although I was able to set it up and it was recognized in iTunes, hit the sync button and nothing...even when it said it was syncing, still nothing. I am not sure this will work for you but I did two things that were suggested in this forum in combination with one another.
    First, I plugged my Nano into different USB port on my laptop from the one I was using. when I reconnected, my devie again was displayed in the top right corner. I clicked on it and the summary page appeared. The one thing I hadn't done is go to the "music" tab. When I arrived there I found that the "sync music" tab was unchecked for some reason. I checked the block and instantly the download started.
    As I said, I don't know if you have tried this or if it will even work for you but after an hour of frustration...I felt a little silly that it was something so simple I had negelected and thought I would share.
    Good  luck!

  • IPod nano is not recognized by laptop

    Hi
    I just bought a new iPod nano. iTunes doesn't recognize it. It says that the harware driver is not installed. The iPod works normally on my mac but not on the acer laptop which is running Windows Vista.
    My previous iPod nano worked normally on the acer laptop.
