Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

Do you still have the "Music Video" Smart Playlist in iTunes? If you right click on a video file, which normally shows up under "Movies" you can pick the video type of Movie, Music Video, or TV Show. When you select "Music Video" the video file drops out of the Movies section and if the Music Video playlist is present will show up there.
You might have deleted that playlist so it wouldn't be on the iPod either.
So create a Smart Playlist where the rule is Video Kind IS Music Video...

  • Why is my iPod Nano not recognized in iTunes but charges?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and an original iPod Nano. I have old music on my Nano that I want to put on my comp, I have a program for that. But the thing is that even though when I plug in my Nano, it lights up and charges but it isn't recognized in iTunes. How can I fix this? Oh and my screen is broken so I can't reset anything from my iPod itself without like step by step direction because the click sound still works and I guess I can figure out what to do if you say like one click down or 2 clicks down... THANKS!!

    Otherwise, take the computer & iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • IPhone 4S has stopped showing up in iTunes devices, but does show in iPhoto?

    Recently had permission issues with i7 27" Mac running newest mavericks (10.9.5). After fixing permissions my iPhone 4S no longer shows up in iTunes, but I still can see it as a device in my Apple iTunes acct. and it does show (and upload photos) to iPhoto. I'm stumped. Have reset Location and Network settings on phone, computer asks to Trust device and I press Trust, but it still does not show. Tried several USB cords, but they all work with iPhoto, but still no device in iTunes.
    A little help would be appreciated!

    Hello there, stanphoto.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great and practical steps for troubleshooting your iOS device not being recognized in iTunes for OS X:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac. 
    Try another USB cable.

  • HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

    My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.  I have the latest version of iTunes.  Windows has all the most recent updates too.  I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

    Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
    I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
    It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
    Please help

  • Why does my Ipod Nano  sometimes lose volumn

    Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn?

    If the Nano is not in a protective case while you are working out, there may be a good chance that sweat/moisture has found its way into the inside of the iPod causing its buttons and functions to short circuit.  Several users who used their Nano for workouts have run into the same exact issue.
    Some have been able to correct it by giving the iPod a few days to dry out and then clipping the Nano to another location on their body and/or using a protective case with the Nano.

  • Why does my ipod nano turn off and on?

    why does my ipod nano turn on and off?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod Nano says I am "Over Capacity" but is not storing any music

    Ipod Nano says I am "Over Capacity" but is not storing any music. Do you know why i can't get any music on it? I have uninstalled and re-installed itunes as well.

    Look at the colored graph under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes showing you the types of content and how much space it is consuming on the iPod. What seems to be taking up all of the iPod's available space?

  • My Ipod Nano (3dGen) has stopped syncing podcasts but st

    My 3d Gen Ipod Nano won't sync Podcasts from I tunes library.

    I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

  • When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

    When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by.  A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

    OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

  • How can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

    how can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

    On the computer in iTunes log into her Apple ID and then see if recent purchases are shown by clicking on her name in iTunes, entering her password and then selecting the option. If there is nothing there then she bought that music with a different Apple ID.
    You can use TouchCopy to move all the songs on the iPod to the computer. Then try to play one of the purchase songs and it should show the account used to purchase it and ask for the password.

  • Ipod nano not connecting to itunes but computer reads it

    i just got a new ipod nano and i downloaded itunes 7.0.2. the computer recognizes it because of ding it makes and the ipod itself acts like one should. it also shows up in "my computer", but it does not appear in itunes. i have followed numerous troubleshooting tips with no affect.
    please help!

    It's woorking!
    Ok, after some 40 hours trying to figure out what was wrong in my case, I think I might have found the problem. The newest ipod software (I think) requires USB 2.0. I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop running Windows XP Pro SP2. There are several USB ports: 2 in the front and 4 in the back. One of the first things I did was go to the device manager and check whether I had USB 2.0. Indeed, there was a USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller. All the problems I encountered were the same whether I used the two ports on the front or the two lower ports on the back. I went to the store for the second time ready to turn in my ipod nano and try to get my money back, but they told me that my computer didn't have a USB 2.0 port and that was the reason I was having trouble. They made me buy a USB 2.0 PCI card and sent me home. Before I proceeded to install the card, I carefully revised my ports. That's when I realized I had a printer connected to another USB port, ánd because of that I didn't notice I had two extra USB ports that carried that funny symbol you will find on the USB ipod connector. I hadn't tried the ipod on the port the printer was connected to, neither on the one next to it. I hooked my ipod to the ipod-virgin port and it worked! Finally! itunes recognized my ipod and I was able to upload songs and all. I didn't realize that even if you have one or two 2.0 USB ports, the others aren't necessarily 2.0 (on the device manager there were other host controllers that were not "Enhanced"). I guess this is what happened. I can't come up with any other explanation.
