Three 5th gen nanos. One NOT recognized by itunes and computer; other 2 fine.
I have 3 daughters and three 5th gen nanos. I use the same cord, plug and computer, and one is not being recognized by itunes or computer and will not charge; other 2 fine. Something wrong with just the one. Resetting (pressing menu and center until apple appears?) doesn't work. One daughter very SAD. Please help if you can.
Oh, and I've also put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.
I think I found the problem, and it may be useful to others. I cosely looked at the dock connector next to the earphone jack and found that it has a chip in it. Not good news for Gen 5 ipod nano's. Apparently, the connector is bonded to the logic board. I did find that if I gently put pressure on it in one directio or the other, it will make a connection.
Must break the bad news to daughter. Sad face.

Ipod does not turn on and is not recognized in Itunes and computer
For some reason, one day, my ipod nano 4th generation just stopped working. On the device manager, I can see that the apple mobile USB driver is installed but it is not listed as an external hard drive on my computer. When I plug my ipod in, I have to push the top and the middle button together until it makes the sound when the computer recognizes a new USB. Then, it keeps saying 'waiting for ipod' and I eventually get a 1601 error message. I've tried everything, and it doesn't work at all. do you guys know how to fix this? This is just making me angry and furious.
I have the same problem as from this morning my ipod nano just won't turn on and when I plug into computer its recognising an external hard drive but NOT syncing with itunes....Its just gone completely dead!!! Can anyone help?

My ipod Shuffle Gen 2 is not recognised by itunes AND computer...!!
Hi my ipod shuffle 2nd gen is not being recognised by my computer. I have installed the new itunes and it does not recognise it either.
However it does a little flash thing with the lights when i ccnnect it, but then they turn off. I know that this means it needs restoring. But how can i restore it if the computer doesnt recognise it??
thanks!I'm also having the same problem with my 2nd gen iPod Shuffle. iTunes on my Mac does not recognize it and will not sync with it. Occasionally, iTunes will recognize it but then when I try to sync it, iTunes then does not recognize it.
Interestingly, when I hook this Shuffle up to iTunes on my Windows machine, it does recognize it and will sync up.
What might be the problem here and how can it be corrected? If anyone has any thoughts/solutions, please let us know.
Thanks... -
I cannot get the ipod gen 2 to show as something to sync to the songs I have loaded into itunes. I also only see the ipod as disk f, like it was a travel drive. Help. My daughter wants to get a newer Ipod, but if I can not get this one to work, why would I want to bother? Someone please help.
to a hard factory reset of your device first. if that dont work try updating itunes software. if that dont work try different cables to see if the one your using is faulty. or it could simply be that your device is on its last life. it happens. but resetting your device to factory settings and restoring it should tke care of things. FOR NOW!

reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.

My ipod nano 5th generation will no longer play any of it's loaded songs. It still plays the video that is on it, and the radio works. It is not recognized by itunes and I have gone through all their help steps. Is there some other way to restore it?
If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Nano 6gen not recognized by iTunes using a Mac, have tried all the tips.
I've tried all of the tips on the site, nothing seems to work. My Mac (OS X 10.6.8) can see the device and my iTunes updates as normal on other devices but the nano suddenly isn't seen by iTunes. I've reset the settings, checked the USB, nothing seems to work. I'm also getting an error message that says Mac OS X can't repair the disk, its telling me to backup and reformat. The resetting on the device should take care of this but it doesn't, the device is empty. All software is up to date. Any ideas?

My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?
I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple. -

IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs
iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.
