Same thing as others...Nano is recognized by Windows..but not Itunes

Clean install of windows (just replaced harddrive, mobo, ram, vidcard, powersupply etc). Installed itunes after everything else was done...and low and behold..it somehow remembered my podcasts (i'm assuming from my music library)...but itunes won't see my nano, nor will the ipod updater. I've spent the past 2 days going over the web and trying every fix (the 5r's, formatting the ipod, resetting the ipod, new usb ports, etc
Windows does see the device so I know USB is working and the cord is fine, This ipod is barely a month old (father's day gift), i can't even restore the nano since ipod updater won't see it (have the 6-28 one). I also tried resetting the nano..then hold select and play while the apple logo was up..but nothing happened.
Help please!

Ok...I did that to the Ipod, updated and restored. Then I removed itunes. Rebooted. changed all my drives (have 3) except for my main windows drive...rebooted again.
Then as soon as it came up and I plugged my ipod in...itunes went through the initial setup info for my ipod. Problem solved.
By changing drive names it forced Itunes to not rely on any old info sitting in the registry.
Kinda sloppy I know..but it worked.

  • New IPhone 5 is recognized by Windows but, not ITunes.

    IPhone 4S sync'd no problem with my laptop.  New IPhone 5 is recognized by Windows but, not ITunes.  ITunes has been updated, worked with Apple support for 2 hours this morning, still an unresolved problem.  Also, phone does sync on other computers.

  • Nano recognized by windows but not iTunes

    When I connect my nano to my computer it is recognized by windows so I can edit things like the calendar but when I go to iTunes to update music it isnt recognized as even being connected to the computer by iTunes. First I tried restoring it because Ive had problems that have been fixed by that before, but it didnt work. I downloaded iTunes 7 but it still isnt recognized. Now I have a nano that has no music on it and cant be updated because iTunes doesnt recognize it. What can I do!!!???

    I got mine working, i'm not sure if it was by coincidence or what. But what I did was close out of itunes and unplug the ipod. I disabled my wireless network on my laptop and pluged in the ipod, and boom itunes was like, oh yeah now i can find the ipod. So I didn't know what to think about that, so i went over to my desktop and yanked out the network cabled, plugged in the ipod and now it reconizes the ipod too, which it wouldn't do earlier either. I have no idea what's going on there. Maybe you can try that and see, it somehow worked for me.

  • TS1538 iPhone 4S recognized by Windows but not iTunes.

    I have been trying to sync my iPhone 4S. I connect to my WIndows 7 laptop and the PC recognizes it, but iTunes won't start. I manually started iTunes and, before I even connect to the PC, iTunes tries to sync and then I get an error that says it can't connect and that I need to restore my iPhone. My iPhone is working perfectly. I followed the direction in the troubleshooter and uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes. I rebooted several times. No change. The very same thing happens. I also checked that the correct services are runniing and stopped/started them. Don't know what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure both iTunes and your iPhone are up to date.
    Also easiest way to find what device is causing the issue is by connecting the iPhone to another pc/mac that has iTunes but do not sync. If the iPhone can be recognised on another computer then it is an issue with your computer and vice versa.

  • IPod Mini is recognized by Windows but Not iTunes

    my ipod mini is set to update automatically with itunes, but the other day it stopped. I was using iTunes 4 but upgraded to 6 yesterday, still no luck. My mini is not recognized by itunes. I then uninstalled the iPod updater and then reinstalled it. Then, when i reconnected the iPod, a box poped up and said "Mike's iPod" (calendar, contacts), but still nothing in iTunes.
    I tried to reset it, no luck
    Tried to upgrade iTunes, but ipod is still not recognized
    Tried uninstall & reinstall of Updater, no luck
    This has been going on for a week now. If anyone can help, PLEASE DO!!!
    Thanks!

  • 6th gen nano recognized in Windows but not iTunes - I've tried the support tips, nothing has helped.

    It looks like a lot of questions get asked here - but none get answered...  I am BEYOND frustrated at this point.  What do you have to do to get some help around here??????????

  • My iPod is being recognized by Windows, but not iTunes!!!

    The Subject says it all....

    Do a reset (make sure you see the Apple logo) while it's plugged in to the computer.
    That's the 'starting place'.
    And you're not doing a reset if you don't see the Apple logo, BTW. It's not easy to do. If you don't know how to do a reset, you can find directions by doing a quick search of this forum, or doing a quick review of the manual that came with your iPod.

  • IPod is recognized in Windows, but not in iTunes.

    Ive followed the support site on what to do if the iPod is recognized in Windows but not iTunes... but to no avail.
    ive had a 20GB photo thats been working o.k. (need to send it in) but now neither it nor my new 30GB Video will appear on iTunes... just in windows.... any suggestions? or should i just call up apple...
    p.s. i know its not the iPods cause they update fine on my sisters laptop...

    Does it say Cannot Mount iPod?
    Is the software on your computer up to date? You may want to try reinstalling it as well...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Update iPod's Software
    Also, try right clicking on the iPod (in My Computer) and go to format. Does anything happen?

  • My ipod is recognized in windows but not in itunes. I ran the troubleshooter and followed all of the steps to fix it....itunes still does not recognize my ipod.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    My ipod is recognized in windows but not in itunes. It shows up in devices and gives me the ok to eject prompt, so I know that the connection is good. I ran the troubleshooter and did all the recommended fixes.  Hours and hours later, I still have the same problem. I uninstalled itunes and all its folders, restarted the apple device services and changed the drive letter. Checked my security settings and everything else I can think of. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Did you remove all Apple related software including QuickTime, Safari, Software Update utility for Windows, etc using the exact instructions in this Apple support document?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port and not a USB or similar?  Have you tried different cables to help rule out a faulty or damaged cable? 
    Does it connect to iTunes okay on another PC or Mac?

  • IPhone 5 is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes (OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5)

    I am helping a friend with her new iPhone 5.
    Issue is that it is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes.
    iPhone 5 16GB, iOS 6.1.4
    OSX 10.6.8v1.1, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5
    Computer: iMac C2D 2.4 GHz (Early 2008)(iMac8,1), 1 GB RAM,
    History, recently updated in-place from 10.5.8 Leopard to 10.6.8v1.1 SL, just for the iPhone 5.
    Installed iTunes 10.7 (as we do not like interface and loss of separate Playlist view in iTunes 11).
    Noted that iPhone 5 stipulates that iTunes 10.7 or higher is required -- So should be OK there.
    Initially iPhone was recognized by both iPhoto and iTunes. Then shortly later, iTunes did not see it anymore, was missing from iTunes Devices list.
    Called Apple Support, agent walked us through removing iTunes and the iTunes Receipt packages.
    Then Reinstalled iTunes 10.7. Ran Permissions Repair. Restarted computer.
    Seemed all good, iTunes (10.7) saw and synced and updated the iPhone.
    But Now, after two or three weeks, when user plugged in her iphone and ran iTunes, it did not show the iPhone at all, though iPhoto did start up and show pictures.
    So the iMac computer sees the iPhone5 well enough to get picture data, but apparently not well enough for iTunes sync.
    (she tends to use the wall charger and not plug it into the iMac very much at all).
    In all other known respects, both the iPhone5 and the iMac C2D seem to function normally.
    Any thoughts?
    I looked at KB article: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
    And at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X).
    And finally am thinking we may need to ALSO do the uninstall via: https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (Remove Apple Mobile Device Service).  But I have not visited with here to do that yet.........)
    Any thoughts on best way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    What error message ar eyou getting. Why do you say it will not allow you to download?
    Verify you meet all the system requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • IPod Nano IS recognized by windows but itunes doesn't...

    I have recently bought an ipod nano and i've installed the software and itunes and everything...when i plug the ipod into the usb drive, it IS recognized by the computer but not by Itunes....i cannot transfer my songs onto my ipod and it hasnt asked me for a name for my ipod like it did with my 2nd generation ipod.......can anyone help?

    hiya!
    okay, we'd better check on the usual suspects.
    first have a look inside your "My Computer". is the ipod showing up in there?
    if it isn't, see:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
    if it is, see:
    iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
