Does your iTunes see your nano?
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
If so, then follow through this:
How to reset iPod
Restoring iPod to factory settings
If not, do one or more of the following
Restart your computer
Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes [Windows XP] [Windows Vista & 7]
Reset iPod (will NOT delete everything)
Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if it shows
Restore iPod (WILL delete everything)
Make sure iTunes and iOS firmware is up to date.
Hope all this helps.

My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.

Why does my computer restart every time I plug in my ipod?

I got my ipod touch a few weeks ago, and for the last two weeks, every time I plug it in, my computer restarts. It continues to restart every time it reaches the XP loading bit (where the bars travel across the screen, I don't know the technical name). I put the computer into safe mode and it doesn't restart, but my ipod isnt recognised on itunes so I can't sync it.
Does anyone have this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance

I've got a first gen. Ipod touch and I had a problem with my computer and had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows! since then when I plug in my touch it restarts my computer.
I'm looking on the forum for a solution before I try anything but to me it looks like we have a similar problem.
The only things different on my system since the last time it worked properly are I updated/reinstalled itunes yesterday and I installed NORTON 360 about a week ago so I think it must have something to do with them!
what browser do you use? I'm using firefox.
If you find a solution can you post an update and I'll do the same,thanks.

Why does iTunes shut down every time I plug in my iPod nano?

For the last few months every time I plug my iPod into my mac iTunes automatically shuts down and an error message shows up. I have an iPhone and this problem doesn't happen when I plug it in. I have already taken my iPod to the apple store to see if they can fix it and they restored it but, when I took it home and plugged it in nothing has changed, iTunes still suddenly quits. I am running out of ideas on what the problem could be.

If the Apple Store Genius Bar was able to connect your iPod to a Mac and run a Restore, iTunes did not unexpectedly quit, so there is probably nothing wrong with the iPod.
Since you can connect an iPhone to your Mac and there is no problem, there is probably no hardware problem on the Mac.
That leave the iTunes installation. So, I would download the latest stand-alone iTunes installer and install iTunes again. If you use 10.5.8 (as it says in your profile), you should be able to use the latest version available here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you are not using the latest version of iTunes already, please post back with the version you are using (and the reason you are using an older version).

Why does my phone sync every time I plug my phone into my computer?

Every time I plug my phone through my computer it sync's it. I takes a long time for my phone to sync with my computer. I was wondering why this was happening all the time and why does it take so long to sync?

Because that is the way Apple made it.
Whenever your phone is connected and iTunes is open it syncs.
If for whatever reason you do not want iTunes to open and synch with the iPhone, go into iTunes and turn that feature off.

Why is iPhoto automatically opening every time I plug in my phone?

Every time I plug my iPhone into my Macbook it automatically opens up iPhoto whether or not I have new photos to import, which I usually don't. It's really annoying. My husband has the same phone and his doesn't do this. Is there some way to stop it?

he iPhone includes a single Camera Roll where all photos captured by the iPhone are stored. If you save a photo from a received message or from a website, the photo is stored in the Camera Roll.
If there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll - even if some of the photos were previously imported by iPhoto but not deleted from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete, iPhoto will launch automatically when your iPhone is connected if you have iPhoto set to do this when any digital camera is connected.
Depending on which iPhoto version you have, iPhoto includes a preference setting for this. If you have an earlier iPhoto version that doesn't include this preference setting, the same is available via Image Capture preferences with the Image Capture application. Connecting camera opens - select No Application.

IPod freezes every time I plug it into my latop

Nearly all the time when I plug in my iPod (3rd Generation) it freezes, I put it on hold and back and press the center button, I hold it down for at least 15-20 seconds, and it still doesn't unfreeze. After like an hour and I try to restart it it sometimes works, It has froze one time for a whole night before, I don't know what's wrong, and its really irritating me now.
Oh and my center button doesn't work right, I have to click it to the bottom right of the button for it to work, Do you know whats wrong with it? I've had it for about a year now.
Thanks

It would be interesting if it could "talk" to iTunes on a different host computer..if it couldn't it sounds like it would be some type of hardware problem, and would involve a warranty replacement of the new device.....wish I had a better answer...

Why won't my iPod let me download anything? Ever since I downloaded iOS6 awhile ago it was acting up I had to erase my whole iPod now every time I hit download on an app it keeps saying I must agree to knew terms and policies every time I hit download.

Why can I not download apps on my iPod? I had to erase the memory now it keeps saying I have to agree to new terms and policies but it won't download that will just keep popping up.Why won't my iPod let me download anything?

I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
I suspect these posts will be deleted.
It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

Why do I lose the playlist I have created on my ipod touch every time I sync with itunes?

Why do I lose the playlists I havae created on my ipod touch every time I sync with itunes?

If I go to contacts for a split second the + sign is there and then it goes. Also on Mail,Contacts, Calendars in Settings opens and then in a split second goes back to desk top. As I lost my earlier ipod touch had to change password to gmail but cant change it on my ipod as cant get to settings! Help please?

Why do extra, empty "on-the-go" playlists appear every time I plug in my iPod? It's really annoying.

I have an iPod Nano 3rd Generation that has never given me any problems, but iTunes is acting ridiculous. Every time I plug my iPod into my computer, one or more "on-the-go" playlists randomly comes into existance. It is always empty, and there have been times I have ended up with 8 or 9 new, empty on-the-gos. iTunes has been acting stupid for a long time now, and this is just about the last straw for me. Anyone know any reasons and/or fixes for this?

Not sure why they are happening, but you might my KillEmptyPlaylists script useful. Have you tried resetting or restoring the device yet?

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

Why Does iTunes 6 crash every time I try to open it????

I'm ready to tear my hair out. This is NOT what I want to be doing at 11:43PM. It all started because I wanted to download the song "Wild Thing" the other night. I got a message indicating to download it I have to upgrade to iTunes 6. Given that it's a free upgrade, why not. After a couple of days of assorted problems doing the installation, finally got that right (or so it seemed).
However, every time I click to open iTunes, it immediately crashes. When I click to report the crash to Microsoft and follow the link, I get this message (my narrative continues after the Microsoft info below).
Solution found: contact Apple Computer to obtain the update

I've even tried temporarily shutting down antivirus and antispyware before installing. No dice. Same problem.
Is this software just buggy or what? I don't WANT to troubleshoot. I just want to access my iTunes library!!! I need 2 or 3 simple steps to make this work. I didn't even want to download iTunes 6. I was perfectly happy with the prior version.

Go back to a version of iTunes that worked for you. When I upgraded to 6.0.2, I crashed every time I plugged an iPod in. I went back to 6.0.1, and everything works fine now. Make sure you completely uninstall your current "upgrade" of iTunes, then go to http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
to get a prior version of iTunes for installation.
Please respond if this works. Seems like problems after the 6.0.2 release of iTunes for Windows have been rampant. Like you, I assumed that every upgrade of iTunes was automatically an improvement. Not so, at least for me and a lot of other users.
Good luck.

HT201210 Every time I plug my Ipod touch into itunes it tells me it cannot read it and it needs to be reset to factory settings.

Can anyone help us figure out why every time we plug 2 of our 3 ipod touch devices it tells us to reset it to factory settings. We have reset them a few times but it still tells us to do it every time we plug them in to itunes to sync them.

- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try a different USB port
- Try a another cable
- Try another computer. If this works this points to your computer. If no then it points to iPod problem
