TS1363 My ipod nano touch is not seen by itunes

My itunes doesn't see or recognize my ipod nano touch

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
How to reset iPod
Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

    If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
    From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

  • My ipod nano 7th generation not recognised by itunes

    I have done all steps advised by apple support, but my new ipod nano is still not recognised by itunes (latest version). My laptop is HP windows 7. It can see the apple device only as storage but when i open itunes, my ipod nano does not appear at all. pls help...

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart your computer
    > Uninstall and resinstall iTunes
    > Register Your iPod Nano
    > iPod not appearing in iTunes
    > Restoring iPod to factory settings

  • IPod nano (4th gen) not recognized by iTunes 11.1.3

    I have an iPod nano (4th gen). After upgarding iTunes to v 11.1.3 (MacBook Pro) I get the follwoing message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.
    Unfortunately, I restored to factory settings, which erased everything, but each time I connect the iPod I get the same message.
    It must be an issue with compatibility because I get the same message with my wife's iPod (same gen), but hers syncs just fine on her iTunes (v 10), and I get the same message using two different USB cables.
    So now my iPod is essentially empty (factory settings) and as good as a paperweight unless there is a way to get iTunes to recognize and sync. If I could get past the error message, I suspect it would be easy to sync automatically or manually.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi JMfromMN,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your iPod isn't recognized by your computer, this article may help:

    Since your wife's iPod displays the same behavior omn your computer, it sounds like the troubleshooting for the iPod itself (which you've largely already done anyway) can be skipped.

  • Ipod Nano 7th Gen not syncing with Itunes

    My 1 week old nano wont sync with Itunes anymore. I have tried rebooting it and reinstalling Itunes too, but nothing is working. It is connecting at random time but not everytime I try connecting it. I once plugged it into a different desktop and it shut down, after that it isnt connecting properly with my system. Is this the problem here?

  • Ipod Touch 2g not seen in itunes

    Please help!
    After i bought  a iPopd Touch 4g it wouldn`t appear in itunes, but after (re)installing drivers it works,
    now suddenly my ipod touch 2g  doesn`t appear in itunes anymore (on a other computer it does appear (same version of itunes))

    Try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does iTunes still the the 4G iPod? If it does and iTunes does not see the 2G iPod with same cable and USB port that indicates a problem with the 2G iPOd. First try a reset. nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Ipod nano 3rd Gen not recognized by itunes or windows 7

    USB device not recognized.  
    things I have done
    put Ipod in disk mode still didn't recognized
    My Ipod Classic 6th Gen works fine
    It shows 3 Mass Storage Device
    when I plug in Ipod nano 3rd gen it shows unknow device
    have deleted Mass storage devices and Apple Moble Devices
    unpluged computer from wall
    nothing solving problem
    I also tried it on my laptop its not being recognized
    my wife Ipod nano is doing the same thing as mine
    its got to be the software download from itunes because it has worked on all previous versions.

    I have the same problem. My Iphone 4s works fine when docked to PC. PC won't recognize my 3rd Gen Nano. Same goes for my Work PC. They don't recognize it nor will plugging it in to a PC charge it. I have to plug it into wall socket to charge.
    I have tried resetting, I have tried downloading newest Itunes.
    Must be the Nano itself if it doesn't get recognized by mutliple PCs?
    I haven't used the Nano for probably 2 months. Previously it worked fine...
    One thing, when docked to my laptop during a reboot/startup, it intially starts to charge the Nano, but once setup is finished it doesn't recognize it any longer...

  • Ipod nano 5th gen not recognized by itunes

    Having same issue as other post except that I'm on XP home instead of a Mac. Windows recognizes the Ipod but Itunes does not. I've tried a number of the tips I've read about in the support section, but no luck. 2nd Gen Nano and Shuffle work fine and are recognized by Itunes. I was able to charge the 5th gen Nano but it was never setup since it was not recognized.

    Sorry about posting in Ipod discussion instead of Nano 5th gen discussion. I was probably half awake.
    I spent a lot time messing around with my computer with no luck. Finally contacted an Apple expert and though the rep was not able to solve the issue with me, he pointed me in the right direction. My fix was actually quite simple:
    I downloaded Itunes onto my wife's laptop and plugged in the Nano. The setup worked and Itunes recognized it. I was able to update the latest software for the device. I moved some music files over with the Homeshare feature just in case I would not be able to use my PC. Luckily when I plugged the Nano back into my PC, Itunes recognized it.
    It was either the initial device setup or the update that I needed to resolve the issue on my PC. So try it on another computer if you similar issues before you waste a lot of time and effort.

  • IPod Nano (3rd gen) not recognized by iTunes

    I've got a 933mhz iBook G4 running 10.5.1, I hooked up my brand new iPod Nano, iTunes recognized it, I was halfway through the syncing process when I decided to stop it during the photo sync. Now the iPod keeps shutting down right after it tries to sync then starts back up again. It's not recognized by this computer at all. I tried to hook it up to my G5 iMac, and no go there. Ideas anyone?

  • Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized by itunes

    I recently updated my version of itunes and now whenever I plug in my ipod nano 6th gen an error message pops up saying it doesn't recognize my ipod. Why odes this even happen?

    For anyone else having this problem, I found this solution to work. Try this first:
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
    d)If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    f) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized in itunes

    I recently purchased a used "AS IS" ipod nano 6th gen. The only problem with it is that it's not recognized by iTunes. I was fairly sure on purchasing it that solving this would be as simple as resetting it, or, at worst, figure it out by googling the problem. The method involving holding down the sleep/wake button and volume down for 8 seconds until the apple logo appears didn't help. Putting it in disk mode didn't help. I have a mac and I suspect the original owner of the ipod may have used windows, so I tried both of these things again with my dad's PC. I at least got some response--an error message saying the usb device couldn't be read or something of that sort (I can look up the exact message again tomorrow if it's relevant).
    I don't think it's the USB plug or cord, because both of these work with my iphone and another ipod nano in the household. I don't think it's itunes either, for the same reason. I'm running Lion, fully up-to-date, on a Macbook Pro. ITunes is also fully up-to-date.
    I wouldn't be devastated if I can't fix it, since it still charges and plays music (the previous owner's hip-hop/club type music works pretty well for workouts), and it's probably not worth it to me to pay Apple to repair it. But…if anyone has any suggestions for things I can try to get it totally working, I'd love to hear them!

    solved it :-)
    Apparently it's not enough to reinstall iTunes itself, but all mobile device software should be uninstalled, then your pc has to be rebooted and then iTunes has to be installed again.
