Ipod nano 6th generation not recognized by itunes

Whenever i plug in my 6th generation nano (the little one with the touch screen), iTunes tells me it knows there is an iPod connected, but it cant be identified properly. Ive tried resolving it with all the help on iTunes and nothing has worked. Any ideas?

The most likely culprit is that you have an older version of iTunes. You'll want iTunes 10 and up. To check which version go to the Help Menu in iTunes and click About iTunes. That'll tell you the version. If it's below 10 go back to the Help Menu and check for updates, install the latest version, which 10.2.2
If it is iTunes 10 or later, uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Here's the article that walks you through it.

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized by itunes

I recently updated my version of itunes and now whenever I plug in my ipod nano 6th gen an error message pops up saying it doesn't recognize my ipod. Why odes this even happen?

For anyone else having this problem, I found this solution to work. Try this first:
a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    - connect your USB device
    - if ITunes loads, close it.
b) File explorer:
Open File explorer and browse to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
right click on the one ending in "INF"
Select Install. It's very quick.
remove the USB device
c) Restart the computer.
When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
d)If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
f) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized in itunes

I recently purchased a used "AS IS" ipod nano 6th gen. The only problem with it is that it's not recognized by iTunes. I was fairly sure on purchasing it that solving this would be as simple as resetting it, or, at worst, figure it out by googling the problem. The method involving holding down the sleep/wake button and volume down for 8 seconds until the apple logo appears didn't help. Putting it in disk mode didn't help. I have a mac and I suspect the original owner of the ipod may have used windows, so I tried both of these things again with my dad's PC. I at least got some response--an error message saying the usb device couldn't be read or something of that sort (I can look up the exact message again tomorrow if it's relevant).
I don't think it's the USB plug or cord, because both of these work with my iphone and another ipod nano in the household. I don't think it's itunes either, for the same reason. I'm running Lion, fully up-to-date, on a Macbook Pro. ITunes is also fully up-to-date.
I wouldn't be devastated if I can't fix it, since it still charges and plays music (the previous owner's hip-hop/club type music works pretty well for workouts), and it's probably not worth it to me to pay Apple to repair it. But…if anyone has any suggestions for things I can try to get it totally working, I'd love to hear them!

solved it :-)
Apparently it's not enough to reinstall iTunes itself, but all mobile device software should be uninstalled, then your pc has to be rebooted and then iTunes has to be installed again.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

If you are using a laptop, this page might help: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB

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

Ipod nano 5th generation not recognized by itunes

I just got a new iPod nano and when I connect it, nothing happens. Itdoes not appear in the device list in iTunes. The nano screen says it is connected but I didn't get to even set it up in itunes. I've tried everything on the apple site - uninstalled itunes and then reinstalled, reset the ipod. I just can't restore because the apple site says I need to do that through iTunes, but I can't b/c it's not showing up in the device list. VERY FRUSTRATING!!

Why isn't my iPod Nano (7th Generation) not coming up on my itunes, but on my desktop?

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?

Why is damaged the power button on the iPod nano 6th generation?

Hello everyone,
Is the second time this happens to me with the ipod nano 6th generation, can someone tell me, why is damaged the power button?

You may not intentionally be doing anything. The device is small enough to fit in your pocket and perhaps something in your pocket is causing the damage. Maybe even the pocket itself when inserting or removing the device as the power button may snag on the pocket opening.

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

The problem may have been in how you transfered it. You didn't go into much detail. Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below. Note Paragraph 5.
Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc . Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html . The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com . You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books. At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.
