  • NEW IPOD NANO WILL NOT CONNECT CORRECTLY TO 2011 KIA SPORTAGE

    Have a new Ipod nano. when I connect it to 2011 Kia Sportage it does not display the song list correctly. Have cable that Kia sells and it worked with my old Nano but not not the new one. Same results with cable that came with new nano. Help please

    Alternatively, you can always use a double ended 3.5mm audio plug and just manipulate the playlist via the iPod and not the radio.

  • New Ipod Touch will not connect or sync

    I recently got a replacement Ipod Touch.  I connected it to my computer and can see it in the My Computer window, however Itunes cannot connect or sync to it.  It's not there.  I have another Ipod Touch, it connects but will not Itunes does not recognize it when it comes to syncing.  I have followed the directions on the help list.  Nothing is helping.  The new Ipod does connect and sync with another computer but my music is on this one.  HELP!

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • 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 will not connect and the Apple logo screen stays up

    Hello,
    Earlier today I shut my iPod nano off normally (by holding the pause/play button). Later, when I went to listen to it again, I found it wouldn't turn on. I tried resetting it, and I got the low-battery signal, so I plugged it in. The thing is, the Apple logo screen is illuminated and I cannot get it off that screen, and normally when I plug my iPod in, iTunes comes up. iTunes didn't come up and it says there is nothing plugged in. What should I do?

    Okay.
    If the Apple logo is not going away and the iPod won't get to the main menu (when not connected to the computer), try what those links suggest.
    If your iPod does not get to the main menu or say Do Not Disconnect, it will not be recognized by the computer. You have to get the iPod to say Do Not Disconnect, show the main menu, or just get past the Apple logo before it will be recognized. The above links will help you get the iPod get past the Apple logo.
    The iPod cannot be recognized by iTunes or the computer if it is stuck at the Apple logo.
    Finally, don't connect the iPod while the iPod preferences in iTunes are open.

  • Brand New iPod Nano will not do anything

    My mother's new Ipod nano 4th generation will not do anything. It has been plugged into the USB for close to twelve hours (not in sleep mode) and it is still completely unresponsive. Shouldn't it be charged by now? The hold switch is off. It is not recognized by the computer. I have hooked it up to different computers including a brand new Macbook and it still does the same thing. I've tried resetting and restarting it using the method on the Apple site but it is still completely unresponsive. All that is on the screen is the Apple logo--nothing else.

    it's always a good idea when u first use a new ipod with a computer to restore it with the ipod updater to makes sure everything is all rosey with the format and then load up the songs so u can walk through the ipod set assistant. this should fix it right up. just restore it

  • IPOD NANO will not connect to windows xp "usb device not recognized

    i have had some problems connecting my ipod nano to windows xp sp2. each time i try to connect it using the usb cable, i get the following error
    http://img400.imageshack.us/img400/6426/t12ve.jpg
    i have reinstalled the ipod (updater 03-23-2006) firmware and the itunes software (just in case). ive gone to the apple website, forum and discussed the problem with their technicians but no luck getting it solved.
    i went to the apple website and filled in a service request to have a new usb cable sent to me, thinking that this could be the problem. no luck with the new cable and other usb devices including my phone and camera all work.
    i just want to know how i can get this thing to work and play my music again. any assistance will be greatly appreciated. if im missing information, please let me know. thanks.

    Hello, lanboyo, JC, and Utah Mike!
    First--You may have done this, but have you tried the Five R's? Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore.
    If you have sucessfully done them with hardly any help, then let's keep going:
    Second--You may have read this Apple aritcle before, but I'll link you to it anyway.
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or iTunes for Windows
    If it's showing up in My Computer as "F:IPOD" but not in the iTunes source list, check out this Apple article, and see if it helps.

    Hope this helps, and post back on what happens.

  • New ipod mini-will not connect to pc

    Got new ipod mini today, have uploaded software & plugged it into USB-it is charging fine, but PC will not recognise it as new hardware and it is not appearing in the itunes menu thing.
    We have a USB 2 card on the computer, and windows xp. The PC is about 3 yrs old. When I plug it into a USB 1 port the computer recognises it but says it needs a higher powered port-when i put it in the USB 2 ports nothing happens other than it charging itself. I have tried 3 different USB 2 ports. I have removed the software and re-installed it, checked the PC for windows updates and downloaded the updated ipod software from the apple website. When it is in the USB 1 port it shows up as hardware-but nothing when in the USB 2 port.
    At the moment I am beginning to think the only solution is to chuck the ruddy thing in the bin....
    Is it me, the computer or the ipod? any advice gratefully received.

    I just saw this:
    "If 1 still not able to recongize your iPod by the computer then you have to put your iPod to DiskMode i.e. plug your iPod to the AC charges, do a RESET and press "Select"+"Play" keys, you will see the message "Disk Mode" in few sec. Then you need to connect your iPod with your computer, and hope that it will be recongized. If you are lucky to reach this stage then you simply need to restore your iPod updater, and your iPod should be back to normal.Please note that You may need to plug and unplug few times in order to let your iPod to be recongized."

  • Brand new iPod touch will not connect to home wifi

    Monday I got a brand new iPod 4 to replace my previous one, as the home button had failed unexpectedly. The new iPod is working fine, running the latest iOS but when I try to connect our secure home wifi, it won't accept the password. We have reset the password and I've reset network settings. I'm so frustrated, because everything else connects to the wifi BUT my iPod will not take our correct password. What can I do? Should I take it back to Apple? I'm already annoyed by having to get a new iPod. The last one connected just fine but now this one won't.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. done

    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 7th Generation iPod Nano will not connect to iTunes after iTunes 11.1.4.62 update

Now, when I connect my iPod Nano 7th gen device, iTunes gives me a message stating that an iPod has been connected but could not be indentifed properly, try reconnecting, unistall then reinstall iTunes, blah blah.

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?
