  • Itunes 7.5 doesn't recognize by iPod nano (2nd gen)

    After upgrading to iTunes 7.5, my Macs won't recognize the presence of my iPod nano. The iPod knows its connected, because the battery is charging, but iTunes doesn't know it's there and so can't sync. Any ideas?

    This sounds like what my iPod Classic was doing a few weeks ago (before the 7.5 release of iTunes.) In my case, it turned out to need a simple reset of my iPod...
    Read http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705 and see if that helps any. If not, take a look at which version of the iPod software yours is running... I know there were a few bum version numbers out for a short while... at least for the Classic.

  • TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • My desktop all of the sudden doesn't recognize my iPod Nano when I plug it in (gives me an error message).  I've tried everything!  HELP!

    Up until yesterday, my nano was syncing just fine with my iTunes.  Out of the blue my brand new desktop doesn't recognize my iPod Nano device.  I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  I've worked through all the diagnostics apple had to offer... but nothing.  Can you help?

    Does this problematic song play okay in iTunes?  Have you tried removing and resyncing it to your device via iTunes?

  • My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

    My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
    When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?

    Hi, Grafiti. 
    Thank you for the question.  Below, I have attached a couple troubleshooting articles that will help resolve the device not being recognized by iTunes.

  • I updated to iTunes 10.2.2, and now it doesn't recognize my iPod Touch!

    I updated my computer to Snow Leopard, and I was prompted to update iTunes to 10.2.2. Okay, did that. Now iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod whatsoever! But my computer does as a whole: i.e., Aperture automaticaly opens as it usually does when I plug in my iPod.
    So this is great. And there's no bug fix; I've googled for the past hour now. Is anyone else having this issue and is there a fix? Because for now, I can't update my iPod at all!

    Have you seen this article yet?

    If nothing else, try upgrading to iTunes 10.3.1.

  • My Ipod Updater doesn't recognize my Ipod nano

    Yes, everytime i try to hook up my ipod nano or start up my ipod updater, the ipod updater says "Ipod Service Error!". From there I have no clue what to do. I've done everything that has been asked i've restarted the ipod, put it in disk mode, changed the format of my H Drive, as well as reinstalled both the installer and the itunes, but still neither of them recognize eachother or the ipod. I'm getting frustrated, and i'm asking for help! If anyone has advice i'd be willing to hear it!
    Thank you!

    Go here and follow both steps for the "iPod Service.exe" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716

  • My New computer doesn't recognize my ipod nano

    my old computer crashed. i now have a new laptop. i have installed my iPod software and the latest iTunes. i can go into iTunes, access the music store, and everything else... but when i plug up my iPod, it doesnt pop up in the source menu in iTunes. the iPod is showing DO NOT DISCONNECT so i know that the cable and USB port are good. i registered it on this new computer and everything but i dont know why it wont recognize that its plugged up and let me put more songs on it. ive searched these threads and cant find a straight up answer that doesnt involve erasing my whole iPod. is that my only option? ive spent $100+ on iTunes from my old computer and granted i know i cant put these songs onto my new laptop, i at least want them to stay on my iPod! can anyone please help?

    thanks for replying! im assuming you mean these...
    1. Reset your iPod, iPod nano, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle.
    2. Retry your iPod with a different USB or FireWire port on your computer (please note that the latest iPods can only be synced through USB).
    3. Restart your computer, and make sure that you have the latest software updates installed.
    4. Reinstall your iPod and iTunes software. You can download the latest versions of iPod Updater and iTunes from our website.
    5. Restore your iPod using the latest iPod Updater. Important: Please note that restoring an iPod will erase all songs and files on your iPod and restore it back to its original settings. Make a backup of any files on your iPod before restoring it. After restoring, you can transfer your music and files from your computer back to your iPod again.
    I did reset my iPod, tried restarting the computer, and reinstalled iPod on here AND updated iTunes to the latest version. I only have one USB port on this laptop, so its possible it isn't high-powered (is that the right term?) enough for iPod? This computer is pretty old. So aside from that the last option in your suggestion is the Restore. I just don't understand how that can be the only option just because I got a new computer. If so I wish I had known that before using iTunes to buy my music
