Why doesn't my iPod start after coupling it to iTunes 12? It is fully charged since last night

So I just downloaded version 12.1 of iTunes. When it was done I restarted my laptop, as requested for the download to finish. I then added the songs to iTunes and coupled my iPod Nano to my laptop. At first it reacted normal, then the screen went black and no synchronisation occured. My laptop gave the notification that "it didn't recognize the device", which is weird because this was not the first time I coupled my iPod to my laptop. When I detached my iPod it's screen remaind black and now I can't seem to turn it on again. What happend and how can I turn my iPod back on??

Hi Brenden,
Thank you very much for you reply. I went to the article you linked and the first step (resetting the iPod nano) was already the solution. My iPod responded after the stated 6 seconds and now it is fully working again. So again, thank you!
Kind regards,
Shauny

  • Why doesn't my Ipod classic 160gb connect to my itunes so's I can back up the songs on my ipod???

    All my music is on my Ipod. Have a new computer (Windows 8) with a some music. Want to back up my Ipod (like I used to 4 years ago) to disc and put it into my itunes library and as I add, I put new music to disc. Computer see's Ipod but won't let me do a back up. THE THE **** WITH THIS NEW VERSION??? :^0

    There's nothing new about this with the latest version of iTunes. You have never been able to "back up" from an iPod to iTunes. Your music should be in your iTunes Library (and it's the Library that you should have backed up), what happened to it?
    If you do have access to the old Library, copy it onto an external hard drive and paste it onto your new computer. Copy the complete iTunes Media folder.
    If you don't have access to your old iTunes Library, then your options are to attempt to recover the music from the iPod, or re-build your Library from scratch.
    To attempt recovery from the iPod, see this tip from user tt2; https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 which includes a list of software that can help you.
    To re-build the Library from scratch, any songs you have purchased from the iTunes Store should be downloadable again. Sign into your account in the store. (Some countries don't have this feature though.)
    Digital (MP3) songs purchased through Amazon should also be downloadable again, by signing into your Amazon account. Any other MP3 stores should offer the same faciltiy.
    For any music imported from CD, you will need to import it from CD again.

  • Why doesn't my iPod touch show up on my iTunes account?

    When I want to download music onto my iPod touch from my computer, my iPod won't even show up on my iTunes account.  I've plugged it in and I've also tried using different cords.  It won't show up and I can't download any music from my computer onto my iPod including putting CDs into the drive and putting them onto my iPod.

    Has your iPod been synced with another iTunes Library? If it has then you'll have to wipe your iPod to sync it with a new iTunes Library.

  • I have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?

    Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod.  For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

  • Why  doesn't my ipod advance to the next song when i'm listening to it.

    why doesn't my ipod nano, 6th generation advance to the next song while playing.  i have to manually advance it to hear the next song. .This is a nex nano, 6th gen that apple just sent me  because of possible battery issues in the nano, 1st gen.

    Hi lauraleeu,

  • Why doesn't the iPod touch have the A7 chip if it supposedly made for gaming and hardcore apps?

    Why doesn't the iPod touch have the A7 chip if it supposedly made for gaming and hardcore apps?

    Apple has not released a new model of iPod touch since the A7 processor was introduced. When Apple will, or indeed if they will, is as lllass said not something any of use here would know. We'll just have to wait and see.

    why doesn't my ipod play on a ihome or a sony dock?

    - Try a reset. Nothiong 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Downloading Adobe XI since last night on my MacBook and it's still downloading. Should I start again. I need this asap!! Why so long?

    Downloading Adobe XI since last night on my MacBook and it's still downloading. Should I start again. I need this asap!! Why so long?  I need it for a job application and I started it last night about 7 pm and it's still downloading.... or is it? I checked the times on downloads and it shouldn't be a 24 hour download.

    Oh, by the way, I'm assuming you're downloading Acrobat Professional XI. Or is it just Adobe Reader XI?

  • My apps have been crashing since last night on iPhone 4g anyone having this problem.  it only started last night i have rebooted the phone and some times cannot even download my email nor move them to trash where they re appear a few minutes in inbox

    my apps have been crashing since last night including even the app store.  this only started happening late last night since doing the ios 5.0.1 update.  i am not sure what is happening.  even when i click on the phone buttom the apps are all crashing not loading stuff.  i cannot even seem to get email only some of the time and than when it does and i try moving them to trash they dont go to trash they re appear right back in my inbox a few minutes later.  i have rebooted the iphoine a few times but with little avail to any situations that are working for me currently.
    i think this is an apple ios 5.0.1 update issue.  i think they may have screwed things up big time this time.  i have also found no improvement with battery life at all.  not sure what is wrong but i hope they fix it fast.  this is ridiculous
    please respond if you are having some of the same issues as i am
    thanks

    Jonellel53796317 I would recommend reviewing the installation logs for the update which is failing to apply. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • ICloud has been upgrading since last night and still upgrading, why is it taking so long?!

    icloud is king has been upgrading since last night, why is it taking so long?

    If your iPhone 4 IOS version 5.x, you can directly update through the phone.
    Put the iPhone on Wall charger and make sure your Wi-Fi is connected.
    Settings > General > Software Update >
    If you have have IOS before 5.0 then you need to update through computer iTunes with your iPhone connected and selected.
    If you're using MS Windows, disable anti-virus or similar programs before you update.

  • ITunes doesn't recognise iPod G5 after latest update to 9.0.1

    Hello,
    I have recently updated to iTunes 9.0.1 and suddenly it doesn't find my iPod G5 anymore. This is very frustrating as I have just finished moving over my headunit + iPod adapter to my new car, with the intent of being able to enjoy the iPod in the car with steering wheel controls... I don't sync my iPod that often (maybe 1x a month on the Mac), but it is up to date and fully charged. Shows in iTunes fine on Windows systems, just not on my MacOS X 10.5.8 + iTunes 9.0.1 since the update...
    I have since tried many things, resetting the iPod, restoring it through a disk erase using Disk Utility, trashing iTunes and reinstalling it (not the settings & lib though), repairing disk permissions on my OS drive, nothing seems to bring it back! The iPod shows fine in Finder and otherwise works (worked) fine. After a disk erase iTunes detects the iPod and suggests I restore it, but after the restore it just doens't show it anymore... What can I do to fix this? Can anyone tell me where to get hold of older versions of iTunes? Maybe if I back up the install it will work again. Thanks for your help!

    "iPod should OLNY be restored via iTunes"
    In the old days we had the iPod Updater, which would still allow us to restore/update it in the event that iTunes wouldn't 'notice' it, nowadays we HAVE to go through iTunes to perform diagnostics/updates/restore. Hence, what do you do when it doesn't show in iTunes so you can't "restore it the proper way"? It doesn't make sense that the solution (restore) to a problem (not showing in iTunes?) requires the problem not to take place...
    Anyway, if anyone has a clue what is up with my jinxed iTunes install, let me know. Thanks!
