I have a brand new IPOD 3rd Generation. I have windows XP. When it is plugged into the port neither computer recognizes it. I stopped and restarted the service but that did not work either. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

    I supposed you have downloaded and installed iTunes 7 on your PC.
    It can be either a problem of your PC or the iPod, let have a prove.
    Try to find any computer (of course with iTunes preinstalled), if your iPod showed up there, then it is a problem on your computer, read this

    If your iPod does not show on any computer, then bring it back to the shop

  • Ipod Nano not recognized by computer (or itunes) but charging.. so connected

    worked until this am (though I think I had this once before, a couple years ago, too often follows itunes updates)
    connected to computer (win 7) this morning and it is not recognized by computer (or itunes)
    can't find it looking in Explorer
    but, it is charging so... it is connected
    have tried everything except re-installing itunes... if the computer is not seeing it, and it shows the connection when itunes isn't open...
    would that make any difference?

    diagnostic shows....

  • IPod Nano not recognized by computer.

    My iPod Nano 2nd generation isn't recognized whatsoever by my computer. A short recap: On a Windows XP driven computer (not mine and on the other side of the Atlantic) I connected and downloaded music. When I returned home, I wanted to connect my iPod to my own Vista driven computer. No can do! My wife has had an iPod Nano 2nd Generation which was previously correctly connected to my computer. To solve my problem(s) I have logged on to my computer with a different user name and installed iTunes with a clean/empty sheet. Still, I haven't been able to connect my iPod. Is there a solution to this? Cheers, Cai

  • Ipod nano not recognized by computer, driver issues

    Hello All!
    I have an ipod nano, first gen, that works just great. Bought another one off of ebay for my husband for Christmas. It looks identical to the one that works - model numbers & year the same - HOWEVER, it is not recognized by iTunes.
    I followed an older thread on this forum and followed the directions to download usbstor.sys & usbstor.inf and move to my i368 folder but I still got the same message - something like "Windows highly recommends not installing these drivers because they have not passed logo testing. This could result in serious damage to your computer."
    Does anyone know what is the issue? Can it be solved another way? Why does my other nano work? Does anyone know if it is safe to the install usbstor drivers? Help please

    Is this any help?
    USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.
    There's also this: iTunes 7 or later doesn't recognize the iPod.

  • New Ipod nano not recognized by my computer, asking for disk!!`

    I bought my husband a new nano for Father's Day. I am having serious problems installing it through itunes. We have two other nanos that gave us no problem. Our computer keeps saying to put in the CD, and when I check the device manager under my computer, it says the driver is missing for this ipod. I would appreciate any computer savvy help with how to remedy this problem. Thanks

    Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?

  • New Ipod Nano not being recognized by Computer

    It seems I am not the only one having this annoying issue. My new Ipod Nano (3rd Generation) will not show up at all in Itunes. I never get the setup assistant to show up either. I have tried different USB ports, shutting down and restarting the computer, reloading itunes, etc. What's next? I am new to the whole ipod thing so if I need to do something I don't know about, please let me know.

    Hi
    You're right, you're not the only person having this problem. If you don't mind though, could you just stick to bumping the other thread? I'll get you the link, one second.
