Only my IPod Nano isn't working??

Hi-
Me, my daughter and my husband all have IPod Nanos. We also have Windows XP. I allowed my Nano to completely empty two weeks ago. I recharged and everything's been fine until today. My PC won't recognize my IPod. I've checked the cable, the USB yadda yadda. I can connect my hubby's IPod and my daughter's IPod t othis PC - fine. Using the same USB and connection wire, my IPod doesn't exist??? The PC doesn't see my Nano in my XP user account.
Anyone know what's going on?

hmmm. other nanos show up fine on the same ports, you're using a known-good USB cable ... yeah, i think it might be time to check the wee darling in for service, Sandy.
the second half of this document might be helpful with that:

The cursor on my fourth Gen. iPod Nano isn't working, is this fixable?

I got my iPod Nano in 2008, shortly after it was first released. About three months after getting it, I lent it to my friend, because she had a thousand songs and atleast 4 dozen CDs. She was going to sync them for me, I got it back two months later and it was pretty banged up. No dents. Just scratches to the paint. I was pretty ******, but it worked fine. So, I didn't think too much of it at the time.
Two years later, it started to have problems. As it is a fourth gen. it is supposed to change songs when you shake it. I didn't use that feature so often at first, because I had, had a first gen. shuffle and wasn't really comfortable shaking it. But, when I started it changed songs with a fairly light shake. But when it started to experience slight problems, (would randomly change songs when it was sitting perfectly still), it also became harder to change the song by shaking it.
It eventually took more and more force, until I didn't want to shake it, because it practically took hitting it against the palm of my hand to make it change songs.
About a year ago, the cursor that lets you change songs and control the volume died. I didn't have any other music player so I got a pair of headphones to control volume and went back to shaking it to change songs, since that still worked. And all that was needed to pause it was to remove the headphones.
Now, everything works fine besides the cursor, and I was wondering if that is a problem that could be easily fixed, if it is a problem that can't be fixed or if it is a problem that CAN be fixed but costs about as much as just replacing it.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on yur computer
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

My iPod nano has stopped working. It is fully charged. I have tried to reboot and restore, and it still isn't working.

What do you mean it is not working? Does it power on? Is it recognized in iTunes? Need a bit more detail in order to assist you here.

TS1456 My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring

It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

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

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and get a replacement iPod. You problem occurs occasionally. Search the communities forum using the search feature in the upper right an search for stuck shutter to find previous posts on the subject.

Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement. Not much else for troubleshooting here. Sorry.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

If you do not find a solution in the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide, suggest that you call AppleCare if still under warranty or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

Did the battery run out of power? If not, try doing a Reset to "reboot" the iPod

Ipod Nano won't work. HELP!

Yesterday I tried to play my ipod nano and nothing worked. It is on and the main screen comes up but none of the buttons will work. I charged it then went online and did the hold button back and forth trick and holding the menu and select button down but nothing makes it unfreeze. I can't play it in the car or anywhere. It just stays on with no buttons working. What can i do?

it seems a hardware issue, you can try try iPodResQ at your own risk
