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

My iPod usually is recognised on my iTunes, but for some reason isn't. My iPhone is being recognised, so i think it's my iPod thats the problem.

  • Ipod Nano 7th generation not recognized by computer or iTunes

    Neither my computer nor ITunes recognizes my Ipod nano 7th generation. It was working fine until I ran an intensive AVG PC tuneup on the laptop. Device manager recognizes the Ipod and says it is working correctly. I have done all suggested troubleshooting and nothing has yet worked. Additional suggestions or info I should provide?

  • My ipod nano 7th generation won't sync ratings to itunes. What can I do?

    Hi,
    I have an Ipod nano 7th generation bought about a month ago and usually has no problems.
    I've been having an issue with it where it won't sync songs' ratings from the Nano to Itunes. My Ipod is set to manually manage Music and Video. And no ratings are added to the Itunes Music library when I press sync.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem?
    Thank-you.

    This is literally driving me crazy.
    I spend days, or more likely months rating my itunes library.
    I was happy to get this new ipod as it would permit me to finish rating my songs, as I used to with my old ipods.
    Its only about 3 weeks after buying this new ipod do i realize that it is randomly changing song ratings. It has therefore changed all the ratings i painstakingly had made. After trying many different ways to find out where the problem was coming from, I even did the drastic move of unrating all my songs, both on the ipod and itunes. Sure enough, when i plugged it back in to sync it, it was giving me new random ratings for about 40 songs, even though they had previously been totally blank.
    I'm extremely surprised I can't find any information about this. This bug has killed all the work I had spent trying to organize my library, and leaves me feeling quite disgusted.
    edit:
    There seems to be an all around problem with this new ipod. It isn't showing the play count for songs I know i listened to, and it's adding random songs in my top 25 most played that i never listened to.
    An answer would be very nice.

  • Ipod Nano 7th Generation - Not Charging / Error Msg From Comp 'Attached Device Malfunctioned'

    My IPod Nano 7th gen arrived last night.  I was able to turn it on and select language 'english'  When I connected it to my computer it did not recognize my iPod, so it also did not show up in iTunes,  Error message: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned.  and Windows does not recognize it." 
    My Nano turned off and went blank.   I have tried to reset it.  Nothing works, just blank.
    No charge icon, I have tried all USB ports on my comp, but nothing works- (but my USB ports work fine)  I have read that if my iPod has not been charged fully, the computer my not recognize it.
    I am now using an adapter and trying to charge it thru the wall power socket.  It has been connected for half an hour.  Still cannot turn iPod on.
    I have Windows 7 running on comp.  Itunes is current version 10.7.  I have rebooted my comp several times and re-installed iTunes.
    I have an iPhone and an iPod shuffle that are both synced with iTunes on this comp, they work fine.
    Is my iPod broken?  Do I send it back?  Anyone else having the same problems?  Please Help !!

    I had this problem as well.  I have a PC running Windows 7. I have installed the latest iTunes 10.7 software (64 bit). I reset the nano by holding down the start and home button for 10 seconds.  Then - I plugged it into a PC running Windows XP and was able to format the iPod. Ejected it and plugged it into my Windows 7 computer and then the computer recognized it and I was able to load it. There is some problem with iTunes 7 on Windows 7.

  • Why does my replacement iPod nano 7th gen not sync?

    I've just got a replacement iPod nano 7th gen after my last one was faulty (suddenly having white screens etc) - exact same model type. I've charged it, and when I put the new replacement iPod in the computer it makes the regular sound to let me know its recognised the iPod. The iPod shows the 'connected - eject before disconnecting' sign so that part of it seems to be working.
    I then go to devices looking to sync the music into my new iPod and then when I do that the 'Sync' button is grey and will not let me progress to sync. This is the problem I am having and I need help.
    Let me know if you need any more information, thank you.

    I am a UK resident btw If that helps.

  • Ipod nano 7th Generation not connecting to itunes

    I bought my Ipod nano in January of this year, and have been using the same computer and operating system to access Itunes since I brought it home.
    As of this month, whenever I try to connect my Ipod to Itunes to sync my music, it states a message consisting of "An Ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly." I had updated the version of Itunes, so with the research I did in the forums, I uninstalled Itunes, reinstalled, and restarted my computer. I then connected my Ipod and it connected. Hooray. While syncing music, it then popped up a message saying that the music files I was trying to sync were not compatible with my Ipod. I checked the file type; AAC. I disconnected my Ipod, reconnected, and it displayed the first message yet again.
    I have used this computer and many of the music files on my previous Ipod nano 5th gen before I purchased my new one, and everything worked perfectly.
    I haven't found any other forums that really address this issue, so any help is appreciated.

  • Ipod nano 7th - Generation "not accessible"

    I use the ipod in three ways, 1. listening through apple ear pieces, 2. through USB x Lightning cord to music players in both our vehicles, and 3. through a 30 pin x lightning adapter to an Eton music player.  Today #1 works, #2 works, #3 reads not accessible.  Last use of #3 four days ago.  Checked manual did not find "not accessible" phrase in trouble shooting chaper.  The reset, restart suggestions don't seem applicable when the unit obviously works.  What's your suggestion?
    First time user of the support community.  Do I just check back for responses?  Realize that is my only option, but did not see a statement to help set my expectations.
