Ipod nano 7th gen cannot be detected by Itunes after restore

Following the recent death of my Macbook Pro (due graphic card problem) I've switched to my backup laptop and moved all my files to the windows 8.1 laptop. I knew that connecting my Ipod Nano (7th Generation) to the new laptop would result in losing all my playlist and music currently stored.
I needed to update my ipod's list with new things so I took the chance (innocently thinking that all I needed to do was just remake my playlists and re-sync it). Initially it started off well, but towards the later parts of restoring, iTunes gave an error saying that the restore could not be completed and led me to a thread on Apple Support. Following the steps, I disconnected my ipod and reconnected it. Nothing happened. Itunes did not recognize the ipod, and the ipod goes into a grey looking screen with a simple message that says okay to disconnect.
My question is, how am I suppose to restore my ipod, when itunes can't detect my ipod.
I've been struggling really badly with the loss of my Macbook Pro and now this. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance
Currently running on Windows 8.1 and iTunes version 11.4.0.18

Hello there, lycusfenriz.
It can definitely be frustrating when your having trouble with multiple devices at the same time, but the steps in the article below may help with getting your iPod recognized in iTunes. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth recommendations for troubleshooting an iPod not being recognized in iTunes:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
Connectivity/syncing
Follow these steps if your computer doesn't recognize your iPod or you have issues with syncing your iPod.
iPod not recognized by iTunes or computer
Make sure you have installed the latest iTunes software from www.itunes.com/downloads. Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Your computer needs a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port to connect iPod nano. If you have a Windows PC that doesn't have a USB 2.0 port, in some cases you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card.
If iPod nano is connected to a USB hub, try connecting iPod nano directly to your computer's USB port.
iPod nano might need to be reset. Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button until you see the Apple logo appear.
If you're connecting iPod nano to a portable computer using the Lightning Cable, connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod nano.
Check the cable connections. Disconnect the cable at both ends and make sure no foreign objects are in the USB ports. Then reconnect the cable.
Try reinserting the Lightning connector into the iPod. The Lightning connector can be inserted either way.
Try restarting your computer.
If none of these steps resolves the issue, you might need to restore the iPod nano software.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

ipod touch 4g 4.3 not detecting in itunes 10.1.2, i am using mac os x 10.3 snow leopard, can someone help?

You do not need Snow Leopord (10.6.X), but you do need Leopord (10.5.8) and iTunes 10.x for iOS 4.3. You need iTunes 10.5 for iOS 5
For the Current (iOS 5 iPod touch specs)
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)7

IPod shuffle does not recognized by iTunes after restore

Hello
I have a iPod shuffle (4th gen) and a windows laptop.
After restoring my iPod shuffle (as directed by iTunes), iTunes does not recognized my iPod anymore.
The data in the iPod has been deleted (ie return to the factory settings), but iTunes does not proceed to prompt me to name my iPod and set up sync options etc, it simply does nothing and does not recognize my iPod.
I went on My Computer, and reformatted the iPod shuffle again. As a result of the reformatting, iTunes recognizes my iPod but it requires me to restore my iPod back to factory settings again. It became a cycle of either recognizing the iPod but asking me to restore it; or does not recognize my iPod after restoration.
Please kindly assist me with this situation as it is rather frustrating.
iTunes is in the latest version as I have attempted the trouble shooting support on the webpage.
Many thanks.

Hi priscillayeung,

IPod touch sudden black screen, not detected by iTunes

I was using my iPod Touch yesterday & connected it to iTunes, it beeped like usual when it's plugged in, was lit up for no more than a second, then suddenly went black. I tried plugging it both into a wall outlet (using a USB converter) & back into my computer, & it was not detected.
I have tried holding down home+power for 10 seconds & just power for 10 seconds & it still isn't turning on or showing up in iTunes. Any ideas?
Thank you so much.

Try this. With your iPod connected, reset it. It may take several attempts. Also, try connecting to a different port.

My iPod Nano 7th generation is not detected in Itunes

Hey there,
I have a iPod Nano 7th generation and I'm working with a Windows 7 64-bit version.
So when I got my iPod, I installed iTunes and everything went very well..
but today I tried to sync my iPod and it is not even detected from my iTunes or my computer.
I had the error -42110, but I found the solution on here, but it didn't work either.
I went through a lot of questions on here, but I couldn't find any solution for my problem
Has anyone got any idea?

well actually I did connect my iPod 3 days later or so to my charger, because a friend of mine asked me if I'm sure that the cable is not broken. So I connected it and it charged, when I thought "Well let's try on the computer again". I plugged it in and it was detected again.. so uhm I don't really know why it did not worked the last times.
So maybe try to restart your computer and turn off an on again the device and try it later on again.. maybe it will work then:)
I'm sorry I can't help more!

IPod touch will NOT mount in iTunes after restore on a different mac

My touch was stuck in recovery mode and my ibook just wouldn't finish restoring it...always ended with an error and the cycle just kept going.
I took it to my girlfriend's house and restored it on her macbook (running tiger as well). It works fine, but now I want to sync it with my mac and get the january software update, so i plug it into my ibook and it's simply not showing up in itunes. it begins to charge just fine, but it won't mount to sync.
I have tried:
Re-installing itunes
re-installing the apple mobile device package.
Re-booting the mac
re-booting the ipod
using a different USB cable
using a different USB port
none of it has helped. it just continues to charge, but not be recognized. any help would be appreciated.

Do you have Leopard? I have the Ipod touch 8gb with the software update i just upgrade to leopard yesterday and plug in my ipod it charged but that was it. So i found here several people reinstalled Itunes due to Apple installer that was like uninstalled during leopard so i reinstalled Itunes and it works perfect now Hope it does the same for you.

IPod classic 160GB not detected under Windows Vista

Hi,
I was trying to find something on that problem, but obviously all the problems with iPod and Vista are slightly different.
Here's my story:
Toshiba Portege R400
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
iPod Classic 160GB
iTunes 7.6.0.29
USB 2.0
When I try to connect iPod to the computer NOTHING happens. Not that it starts searching for drivers or something like that. NOTHING.
The same iPod works fine with another computer but there's XP. I haven't tried it with different Vista so far.
USB ports are fine cause other devices like mouse or headphones work fine.
What else... I re-installed iTunes 3 times so far, didn't help. I also have the latest updates for Vista (at least Windows Update says that).
I know there are some workarounds to point different folder to look for drivers etc. But I don't even have the opportunity, cause nothing happens.
I've noticed one thing: when the iPod is plugged-in and I turn on the comp then, the iPod display flashes. It doesn't say it's connected but it reacts. And that's all. Later it comes back to normal "not working".
Have anyone encountered similar problem?
Regards
Tomek

I have the same problem and I have Windows XP on 2 machines with iTunes. I plug the iPod in and it is not detected at all.
I plugged it into my girlfriends laptop (also XP) without iTunes and it is detected and works fine.
I have uninstalled iTunes and that does not help, it's like the iPod Classic 160GB is invisible on my 2 main machines...

Hi,
My Ipod classic is not reflecting in Itunes which I have recently downloaded but it reflects in my computer as a hard disk.
Please give me a solution.
Thanks

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Also see these (if you haven't found them already):
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes
