why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

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:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

7th gen iPod Nano not recognized with Windows 8

I am running Win8 and am having trouble getting my 7th gen Nano to be recognized either as a device on my PC or in iTunes. Is the Nano compatible with Win8? I have worked thru many of the troubleshooting guides and Apple support pages. Have the most current version of iTunes and have stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service all to no avail. Any other suggestions?

Can the new 5th gen ipod nanos be used with iTunes 8?

I have just installed iTunes 9 today and am DISGUSTED with version 9
already. I have a new 5th gen ipod nano on order and would like to go back to
iTunes 8 ... will the new 5th generation be usable in iTunes 8?
With iTunes 9 being such a launch and introduction disaster ... I may sell my new
iPod because it looks like it will only work with iTunes 9. If that's the case I am selling my
new iPod and picking up a 4th generation ipod on eBay.
It looks to a lot of Mac users, like Apple really screwed up iTunes 9 ... and as a result,
may turn many new prospective iPod Nano and iTouch owners off from purchasing any
of the newer iPods until Apple redesigns or seriously modifies iTunes 9.

So are you just going to keep posting this in every incorrect forum?

What exactly are you finding so disgusting in iTunes 9? I have yet to find anything repugnant.
If you want to keep iTunes 8 I would suggest you buy a refurbished 4th Generation from the online iTunes Store and cancel your order for the 5th Generation.

5th gen ipod does not connect to mac desktop or itunes

My ipod does not connect with my desktop or itunes (ie when I plug the ipod in using the original USB cable nothing happens--no charging no recognition that it has been connected). My nano does work with the same cable so I know it's not that. I've followed the support instructions resetting, downloading the latest software and restarting. I cannot, however, restore since the first step of the instruction is to connect the ipod and wait for it to show in the source list in itunes. It is also interesting that when I use the car charger the ipod does charge and shows the charging icon.
Any suggestions?

I guess i can lend my voice to the conversation. my ipod "locks up" when i connect to my computer also. i just updated itunes and have not been able to connect. there is no ipod folder on my computer when i search through ""finder". i have to "reset" it after i disconnect to continue to play it. i have done everything short of "restoring" due to i have over 3000 songs and i'm unable to back up. the manuel refers to a disk to update. i can only play songs, and recharge. need help to.

Ipod Nano Not connecting to Windows 8, Itunes

I am unable to get my Ipod Nano to connect to Itunes. My computer is operating with the newest versions of Windows 8 and Itunes. I have completed ALL the steps in the troubleshooting guide through Apple. I would like to use my Nano during the delivery of my son next week. I have looked for answers all over the internet, with no luck. Can anyone help? I see that many people have had the same issue. (My Ipad also did not work). Again, I have completed ALL of the troubleshooting items

5th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes

I plugged in my 5th gen nano and itunes told me that it could not recognize it and I had to factory reset it. I factory reset it and now it won't connect to itunes. it connects to my computer and it says connected on the ipod screen, but it won't let me sync my songs to it. I have the latest version of itunes 11.0.1. I already reinstalled itunes, restarted my conputer and restarted my ipod. Is there anything else I can try?

I seen this problem a lot. Since you are a Windows user (I can make it real easy). If you don't have the side screen (left hand side)..... look at the Top Right Hand side (under the close button [red X] ).... you should see your iPod there. If it doesn't work, try to reset your entire iPod and it should connect to your iTunes......
if this doesn't help.... click on the link below.....

Ipod nano not syncing with Windows 7

Just replaced my XP with Windows7. Downloaded ITunes and have downloaded my music from cloud. My IPod Nano is not shown on the screen, yet the battery charges. It seems that Dell has too many obstacles preventing music from syncing to nano. What needs to be disabled?

IPod still not connecting with windows

I recently got a replacement iPod from Apple. I connected my iPod with my computer and the "Do not disconnect." sign shows up instantly. It was there for over 20 hours so I disconnected it. I checked out the 5 step guide for Windows to recognize the iPod, but it still doesn't work. I'm using the exact same cable and USB port that I used on my old iPod. The iPod is not recognized by my PC or by iTunes. When using the iPod updater, the only option available is "restore" and I already tried that. Whenever I connect my iPod to Windows, it always says "USB device not recognized." and the iPod always goes to the "Do not disconnect." screen. Can anyone help me?

I have a similar problem, excpet that my ipod just stopped being recognised by itunes, although Windows Exploere recognises it. When I run the updater, it keeps telling me to plug in my ipod (even when it is plugged it) and both the update and restore buttons are greyed out.
No hardware has been installed since the ipod was last working properly.
I've tried everything suggested at the website... I've reset the ipod, installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest versions of updater and itunes repeatedly, performed restarts running only the ipod drivers using system config, nothing works. I've tried the ipod on both firewire and USB2 connections with the same result - Windows Explorer sees the ipod, but not itunes or ipod updater.
I figure the ipod needs to be restored to its factory settings, but how do I do this if the software to do so won't recognise the ipod? Is there a hardware option to do a complete restore/reset?

5th Gen Ipod Touch not recognised 2 windows pcs and my mac mini, Itune up to date, tried DFU and recovery, returned from apple inspection as working, still no joy, anyone elese had this problem, any ideas?

Since we had the ipod touch since xmas we have had slight problems with charging and connecting to itunes, i sent back to Apple to repair/inspect, they have returned it back as working fine, tried 2 different windows pcs, my mac mini and cannot get the ipod to connect, Windows tries installing drivers only to say it has failed, uninstall try again, go into recovery mode and dfu, nothing seems to work. I have 2 ipads an iphone 4s which all connect faultlessly. Any ideas?

Have you tried another cable? Some iPods were shipped with cable that either did no work initially or shortly failed.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the cable too.

How do you get my 7th gen iPod Nano to work with Windows 8?

My iPod gives me the "iPod cannot be identified" error message when I plug it into my Windows 8 machine. I have tried literally all of the troubleshooting steps on the website. It works on previous versions of Windows. Anyone else have this problem? How do you fix it?

Ok, I've downloaded the drivers as suggested.but still not printing as it should.
It's now printing one page as opposed to many, but it still has the jargon on top of the page as depicted in my original post?
From this info you advised, it does suggest, does it not, that the HP Laser Jet 6p is supported.
Meanwhile, any other advice.
Regards

i have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't skip, turn down volume, turn ipod off. it simply screeches as the song is stuck at a specific point. any suggestions?

You have 2 options: #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
#2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen. The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router. Any ideas why?

I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen.
The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router and thus with the internet.
Any ideas why?

Is the second Extreme configured to "extend" the network created by the first? If so its position must be such that it has a strong wireless connection to the first Extreme. If it is at the limits of the first one's wireless range its connection will be tenuous. Place them closer together and determine if that makes a difference.
