TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
Any suggestions?

Does the iPod work OK?
Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be 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.
Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • My ipod nanos are not being recognized in iTunes. I have tried everything! Changed the drive letter, the disk to FAT32, resetted it, downloaded itunes again, but nothing has worked! HELP please.

    Somehow my nano now lost all its music so now its empty!  Also, before windows used to recognize my ipod and i'd get a pop up saying "open to view files" but now I don't even get that anymore. I have also tried syncing it by putting them in disk mode but NOTHING has worked. I am getting so frustrated.
    I followed all of the "steps" on the apple support page but none of that has worked too. PLEASE help me because I literally feel like just throwing my ipods out the window. I never had this problem before.

    When you connect your iPod to your PC, what appears on the iPod's display?  Does the iPod charge when you have it plugged into the PC?
    Are you running the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3)?  It wouldn't hurt to also make sure your Windows OS has all of the latest patches and updates as well.
    I assume you have plugged the iPod ino different USB ports located directly on your PC and tried using another 30 pin dock connector cable to rule out the possibility of a bad cable?

    Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
    Thanks

  • My Nano is not being recognized by itune or charging

    Someone please help my Nano is not being recognized when i plug in. Itunes or is not charging. I cannot sync or anything,

    Hi,
    I just bought my 2nd gen ipod 2 GB nano from someone who won it in a raffle. I plugged it into my computer and asked it to sync my songs. It immediately synced all 520 songs and startted charging. It says "do not disconnect". It has been charging for almost 24 hours now, and still says "do not disconnect". How long does the first charge take? Is something wrong?

  • My 3rd gen ipod nano is not being read by itunes when I plug it into my mac laptop.  It says "no name" on the mac screen, I lost all my music on the ipod itself.

    My 3rd gen iPod nano is not being read by my iTunes on my mac.  When going to sync, the mac screen says "no name". Also I believe I lost all the music on the iPod.  When turned on it says "Welcome" as if it is new.  I tried to copy all my music into the "no name" folder and then sync.  The iPod said it was "syncing".

    So does iTunes see the iPod or not?  I couldn't quite understand from your post as you said it wasn't, but then said that the iPod was syncing...

  • IPod Frozen and Not Being Recognized in iTunes

    I have two problems.
    1. My iPod is frozen. It says it's playing and it's not. Tried the toggle hold on and off trick then tried hold the play and the middle button down to reset and restore, but nothing happens.
    2. The iPod isn't being recognized by iTunes. HELP!

    The select button + menu button thing worked, I just realized that when I was trying it before the hold was still on (since I was "toggling it"). I feel stupid...

  • My ipod nano isn't being recognized by itunes. why not?

    when i try to connect my ipod nano to my laptop it wont connect. itunes says it cant recognize it all of a sudden. can someone help me fix this issue?

    After doing everthing recommended online unsuccessfully I tried this. Bear in mind this is with a 64 bit Windows 8.1 OS. 
    Here it is:
    1.Control Panel
    2.Programs
    3. Uninstall or Change Programs
    4. Uninstall iTunes
    5. Uninstall Apple application support, mobile device support, software update (I even removed Bonjour and Quicktime).
    6. Go to apple.com and download iTunes again from the beginning.
    7. See if it works (hope it does)
    You'll have to download Quicktime again, but no big deal. After I did this my laptop and iTunes finally recognize my nano and iPhone 3GS. In my control panel it appears that the other applications have also been restored (as you would expect). For those of you still stuck despite the recommendations online, I hope this helps you out.
    Good luck!

  • TS1369 iPod Classic suddenly not being recognized in iTunes on MacBook Pro

    I just got a new MacBook Pro a few weeks ago, and have had no issues connecting my iPod Classic to it via iTunes. Yesterday, however, my iPod stopped registering in iTunes. I checked in the System Reports on my MacBook, and I can see that the USB Hub is acknowledging that the iPod is there, AND the iPod is charging when connected so I know it's not a connection issue with the cord, however the iPod still isn't registering in iTunes. If I plug up my iPhone, though, it shows up so it's likely not the computer either. My iPod is working fine and has been connecting fine until yesterday morning when it suddenly just didn't apear anymore. I need to fix it ASAP! Help!

    Have you tried everything here?

  • HT1494 My old iPod nano is not being recognized by my computer.

    I recently lost my iPod touch so I am trying to move my music to my old nano. However, the new iTunes does not recognize it and also says I have only 1 device registered to my Apple ID... I have tried different USB ports, resetting my iPod, charging it, disc mode, updating iTunes, and resetting my computer, but nothing works. Any ideas?

    Try the following and then try a restore:
    - A reset.
    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.
    - Placing the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Placing in DFU mode.

  • 5th generation iPod nano is not being recognized

    I have 5th generation iPod. My computer (desktop) suddenly decided not to recognize my iPod as of yesterday.To experiment, I connected my iPod to my
    brother's computer (laptop) and it worked fine. Suspicious that it was my computer that went haywire, I connected my dad's iPhone to my computer and it
    recognized it.
    I got uninstalled my iTunes and all other programs and installed them again. Didn't work. Put my iPod into disk mode. Didn't work. Checked my computer for
    any virus. Didn't work. Even changed my USB cable. Didn't work.
    So what is the problem here? Is it my iPod or my computer?

    Not much else to try then is there other than blowing the whole system away and starting from scratch?
    What shows up under Device manager when you plug it in?
