TS1363 iPod has been detected. Just not identified properly. Can you please help me?

I plug my iPod Nano into the computer whilst having iTunes open, and keep getting the same message appearing and no button saying 'Zoe's iPod' of where i can sync my music. The message says this:
An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect, then try again
I have tried disconecting it then reconnecting it but it doesn't make any difference. Please help

Hello Zoe97,
I would try this:
iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified ...
Go through ALL the steps. Most of the time one of them fixes it.
Hope this helps.

  • I just bought a new nano today and I'm trying to download music to it from my itunes account but when I connect it to my computer a window appears and says an ipod has been detected but not identified properly. What does this mean?

    How can I get my ipod nano connected to itunes?

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an "account." 
    Did you download and install the latest version of iTunes, which is available here?
    https://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you have an earlier version, it may not support the most recent iPod nano, which could explain why Windows does not have the device driver to identify it.

    Erin I am sorry you are facing difficulty downloading the Creative Cloud software.  It can be frustrating when you do not have access to high speed stable Internet.
    You can attempt to download the base installers and updates by following the directions listed at:
    Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
    All Adobe CC 2014 Updates: The Direct Download Links for Windows | ProDesignTools
    You may want to attempt to utilize some form of download management as the main issue seems to be the stability of your connection.
    There is not currently a method to resume downloads within the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  There is download management included though it may not be enough to compensate for the current Internet connection.  If you are curious you can find additional details on how to resolve download errors at Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

  • HT2534 Hello, The procedure above doesn't work. Regardless the options I choose, it doesn't allow to proceed without a credit card number. The option not to select a credit card is not there. Can you please help?

    Read the steps in the support article from which you came carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
    If you are certain you're following the steps exactly as given and are creating a new Apple ID and still have problems, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • My nano has been detected, but not identified. What do I do?

    Help. I plugged in my iPod, and a little warning showed up that said, "An iPod has been detected, but could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again." Guess what? I did that maybe thirty times. Didn't work. Advice?

    First I assume youre using ipod nano 5g and you have downloaded newest itunes 9?
    (thats a must).
    Something that often gets usb devices to run again: (i dont run vista but you can google how to find the info here is one link as to how to find device manager in vista;http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windowsvista/f/opendmvista.htm)
    Once you find device manager the basic info below applies:
    Plug the nano in. Now in your Start menu, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage". Click "Device Manager".
    "Expand "USB devices". Can you see an entry in there for the Apple iPod driver? If so, right click on that and select "Uninstall" Or if it offers to repair it can try that first. Click OK. (The uninstall choice may take a while, leave it to its own devices for a while. this only uninstalls drivers not itunes to my knowledge).
    After the driver uninstalls, unplug the nano. Wait until it has finished saying OK to disconnect on the nano screen
    Now plug the nano back in. This should reinstall the driver"
    I found this info in the other forum for connecting nano to windows but Ive used it in past.
    another link with info: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2293079&tstart=0
    And from apple info: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369

  • TS1702 Hi my Daughter and I got new iPad 4th generation for Christmas, we are unable to connect to FaceTime, it keeps saying we r not available. Can you please help me to figure this out ?

    Hi can someone please help ? My Daughter and I got new iPads for Christmas. 4th generation. We r unable to use FaceTime it is saying we are unavailable for FaceTime and it hangs up. Could someone please explain how to resolve this mater....thank you !

    That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
    Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.

  • My iPod has had everything wrong with it! Can anybody please help?PLEASE!!!

    Hey All
    Please help me with my ipod. Ive been trying for so long to get it working( More than 4 Months) but with no luck.
    The problems started when my friend asked me to plug his ipod into my computer to get my songs because his ipod wouldnt load songs from his computer. Well I tried that and it didnt work. Anyway, the next time I tried to update my ipod(which is an ipod mini 4th Gen, i think)it wouldnt update my songs and came up with numerous messages that said something about a corrupt file run chkdsk. Well I looked up what to do and I did run the chkdsk thingy and it said that it fixed a few files so I no longer get those messages. Despite the slight improvement Im still having problems. When my iPod is plugged into my computer it slows the computer right down until iTunes is automatically opened. The ipod then starts to update, but at an incredibly slow rate. It takes it about one hour to update 50 songs. In addition, the ipod gets super, super hot. Now im no computer genius, but i know the USB port that I use with the iPod is a 2.0 thingy so thats not the problem. I have also tried resetting the ipod by pressing the "menu" and "select" buttons on the ipod, as well as restoring it using the ipod updater. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes with no luck and even went back to itunes version 4.0. My ipod has the latest ipod software on it so thats not the problem either. There is one thing I have noticed about my ipod that is rater unusual: the circle (located in the top left-hand corner of the screen) with the arrows on it that rotates when updating keeps flashing on and off in non-regular intervals when updating. Sometimes that little icon wont even appear and its when that icon doesnt appear that the ipod doesnt get recognized by itunes and the computer sees it as a portable storage device and not an ipod.
    I know thats alot of infomation to swallow but does anyone have any ideas what the **** is going on???
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    You could try to format the iPod in Windows. It does the same thing as restoring and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
    First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". When that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
    You can also check the iPod's hard drive for errors using Windows ScanDisk.
    Put the iPod into disk mode as previously mentioned. Go to "my computer" and right click on the iPod then select "properties", then "tools". Select the option to scan the disk for any errors.
    To exit forced disk mode, reset the iPod.
    If that doesn't work, then the iPod needs repair. (to be honest, I think it does)
