  • Help!  Itunes not recognizing Ipod Nano.  Have tried several things already.

    Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano (6th generation).  When I plug it in to the computer, nothing happens (except it charges).  I have tried several of the recommendations (reinstalling itunes, resetting ipod, etc. etc.)  I have Windows 7 on my computer with the latest version of Itunes.  Interestingly, when I plug my Ipod into my other computer (which still has an older version of Itunes), it syncs right up and is recognized.
    What can I do to get Itunes to simply recognize my Ipod?  I am beyond frustrated.

  • Windows XP Media Center Edition does not suport ipod nano...need programs

    I was just informed by Apple Service that Windows XP Media Center does not support ipod nano, but that there are online programs available that would allow me to use my ipod with Windows XP Media Center. Does anyone know of these porgrams?? If so, could you recommend a website? Thanks!

    was just informed by Apple Service that Windows XP Media Center does not support ipod nano
    Correct. Sort of.
    Windows Media Center is not a computer. Just as Mac OS is not a computer. It is a operating system. (a version of Windows XP).
    You have a PC with Windows XP Media Center.
    You cannot use Windows Media Center OS to load the iPod.
    You need to load iTunes to manage the iPod.
    And yes, you can use the iPod Nano on Windows XP Media Center.

    Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

    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...

  • Itunes does not recongnize Ipod Nano

    I received a new Ipod (3rd gen Nano), my computer (runs vista) recognizes the Ipod (attempts to install drivers, which fail) but my Itunes will not. I connected my Ipod to an older computer (runs XP) and it worked fine. I want to know how to fix this problem. And yes I have looked into the support page for the Ipod Nano 3rd gen.

    You say your computer recognizes the iPod... You also say the driver installs fail... Tell me if this happens to you:
    You plug the iPod in for the first time, and it says it found a new device (Apple iPod), but after that, it gives the "USB Device Not Recognized" bubble, and the computer continuously registers the iPod as being disconnected and reconnected?

  • IPod Updater does not recognize iPod Nano

    I installed the iTunes while charging my new iPod Nano 4GB from my USB port. iPod worked and was recognized during this process. After successfull ejecting and disconnecting I got the 'Folder icon with an exclamation point' in the iPod display. I followed the Apple hint on their www.apple.com/support/ipod homepage and downloaded the latest software iPod Updater (2006-06-28) and updated from 1.1 to iPod nano 1.2. In this process the Updater ended with saying that the software was updated, but that I had to wait for the iPod to quit/release the process, and it never did. It says 'Do not disconnect'. After ½ a day of waiting I had to disconnect it anyway. I thaught of 'Restore' the factory software but now Updater will not even see my iPod when I connect it. The Updater freezes and I have to 'End Process' from the Task Manager. iPod display keeps saying 'Do not disconnect' and shows a small 'sun' in the upper left corner with 'sunbeams rotating around the sun'. Can't find this symbol anywhere. Can't eject the iPod by software from neither the iTunes nor the 'Safely remove hardware' utility. When I pull out the plug from the iPod it resets and shows the Apple log and prompts me for selecting a language. The iPod 'About' panel shows that I have updated to software 1.2
    I tried to follow this link down to the 'Remove iTunes' point, but no success sofar:

    I have the same problem after update to sw 1.2.
    And I have successfully get it back to normal by re-format the iPod-drive.
    If you see windows recognise the iPod-drive. Try to re-format it (use FAT32). If you are success to reformat it, Ipod updater will recognise it and you can now do a 'Restore' to create the file structure back again for the Ipod-drive.
    I continue to use the updated sw, v1.2. And hope it does not cause more problem as this one.

  • Windows not installing iPod nano 3G

    When i plugged in my iPod nano 3G for the first time the "Found New Hardware Device' bubble came up and it recognized that it was an Apple iPod, but then it said that there was a problem with installing the new device and that it might not work properly. After this I cant see my ipod in My Computer or in iTunes. Under the hardware profile it shows an exclamation mark symbol next to the ipod. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but that doesn't work either. I just repeats the same process. I've tried updating the driver but it says it can't find an updated driver. The real strange thing is that I have an iPod Video 5G that has been working with this computer for 2 years now. So why wont the Nano?
    So after i got fed up with this, I plugged my ipod Nano into my laptop and it worked flawlessly. But all of my music is on my desktop which is why i need it to connect. Any help?

    This is the same problem I'm having & no other USB devices are hooked up to my laptop, can anybody HELP??????????
    Before I install iTunes Vista recognizes my iPod, it shows up in My Computer and I can use it as a storage device. In Device Manager it shows up under disk drives as an iPod and under USB controllers as a mass storage device. After I install iTunes it loads new drivers, or it tries to. It installs a new iPod USB driver & then it tries to install iPod drivers and never finds them. It tells me the device drivers were not found & I can't use the device until they are loaded. Now the iPod won't even show up in My Computer. When I check Device Manager there is an entry for the iPod with an exclamation mark beside it & under USB controllers it is now listed as an iPod USB device. When I uninstall iTunes it still won't recognize the device properly but if I do a system restore, back to before I loaded iTunes, and then plug the iPod back in it goes back to recognizing it in My Computer as an iPod storage device and under Device Manager it checks out OK. I think the problem is with the new device drivers iTunes installs. When installed iTunes will start up no problem, it's just when I plug in the iPod it loads the problem drivers & I have to do a system restore to get my iPod back again. Please help, I've had to do a system restore 5 times now & it still won't work. I can either have an iPod loaded or iTunes load, just not both at the same time. I'm very familiar with computers & software but this is driving me crazy
    BTW, my iPod is a new 3rd generation Nano

  • Windows will not recognize ipod nano anymore

    At the beginning it was working fine, but after I left it for a week it stopped working. When I plugged it to the computer, the computer would not recognize it.
    When I plugged in the ipod nano into Window XP, the following happens:
    - Window XP lags and take a long time to display the message "new hardware found"
    - my ipod displays the charging symbol
    - then ipod shows the screen "Do not disconnect" and it stalls on this screen
    - after awhile, Windows show a "safely remove hardware" icon on the bottom right of my screen, but it describes the recognized hardware as "Apple ipod USB Device at location 0"
    Note that:
    - my ipod is not charged at all after all this
    - itunes would not recognize my ipod
    - there's not hardware icon in "My Computer" and "Device Manager"
    - my computer can recognize my friend's ipod
    - I can neither restore or reset my ipod because it does not get passed the "Do not disconnect" screen
    So if anybody could provide any help, i'll be very very grateful. =P Please save me.

    Maybe for that one week that you left your iPod nano idle, your iPod software automatically updated and left you with some strange conflict.
    Anyhow, your symptons sound similar to some described in this article:

    Not sure if the solution presented in the article will work for you, but let us know if it solved it.

  • Windows does not recognize ipod nano

    i cannot get windows (or itunes) to recongize my ipod nano. once in connect the ipod, i get the 'do not disconnect' message indefinately. it used to work. it reinstalled itunes, reset my ipod, etc. any suggestions?

    thanks, but the troubleshooter assumes windows is recognizing the ipod. in my case it is not. i download itune 7.0 just in case. same problem exists. in fact, since windows does not recognize the ipod, itunes eventually freezes up.
