Why isn't my ipod nano not getting podcasts after I switched to Windows 8

My old computer died recently, so I switched to a laptop that runs Windows 8. I downloaded itunes on to it. I can see the new podcasts download at the top of itunes, but these new episodes don't show up on my ipod. When I click on My Ipod, the sync button on the bottom doesn't work. I also cant find the bar that I used to use at the top to disconnect my ipod.
I've tried to remove all the apple software and reinstall, but I get the same results.
Please help, as now my ipod is useless without being able to download new podcasts.
Thans in advance

Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

Why isn't my Ipod nano 6th generation being recognized on itunes after updating software to 1.2

Why isn't my Ipod nano 6th generation being recognized on itunes after updating software to 1.2?

I found that all the movies that I want on my nano have iTunes extras.

Ipod Touch not getting detected after IOS upgrade.

I have recently upgraded the firmware of my Ipod Touch (1G) to IOS 3.0.1 and was successful in upgrading.
The issue i am facing is that my ipod touch is not getting detected after reconnecting and the ipod touch is not getting switched on...it is just showing the apple symbol and the progress bar.
Please let me know if anyone has faced similar type of issue.
Please also let me know the resolution for this.

Are you using a USB hub? Try connecting the iphone directly to the computer's USB port and see if that makes a difference.
Also, with the upgrade, this seems to happen a lot. Most of the time if it is not the USB issue above, it can be resolved by simply redownloading Itunes and installing it on top of your current installation.

Why isn't my ipod nano showing up as a device in itunes?

My ipod nano does not show up under devices in itunes;
therefore, I can't download the Audible.com app.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. 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.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Why is my old ipod nano not being recognized by my computer as being connected?

6th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). tried everything to fix, but still not working... please help

I have a 6th gen ipod nano that is not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). I get an error that it 'could not be identified properly'. I have tried all tips on the apple site to correct the problem, including unistalling and reinstalling itunes twice. Nothing works. Has anyone tried something that worked that is not part of the Apple support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218)? Thank you in advance for any help!

I have followed every troubleshooting page on the apple support site yet my ipod nano 6th gen is not recognized by itunes
I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

Why isn't my ipod shuffle not showing up in my devices, or my desktop?

I received my ipod shuffle (2nd gen) app. 2 years ago, however, this is the first time that I have ever tried to sync my current itunes library onto it. I connected the shuffle with a USB chord, but, the shuffle does not show up in "devices", nor on my desk top like my other ipod does. When it is plugged into the chord, the light flashes orange. I think that orange flashing means that it is "syncing music", however, there is no signs of the shuffle being connected to my Apple Mac in anyway. I have tried rebooting the computer, as well as turning my shuffle on and off. However, nothing has helped it. I have watched videos reviewing "fake shuffles" and I am confident that mine is not a fake. Please help me! Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer. I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it. Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

Why Isn't The Ipod Mini Not Under Ipod On The Internet

I am trying to find accessories for my ipod mini but when i click on the ipod+itunes button it doesn't show ipod mini where should i got to????? It's really making me angry

Click here to see the iPod mini accessories page. If you want to follow any of the links on that page, you will need to delete everything before the second http to use them properly. The original page was removed when Apple discontinued selling the iPod mini.

Ipod nano not downloading podcasts

My ipod was downloading podcasts no problem, but since the last updater it is still downloading cd's but for some reason is not downloading any of my selected podcasts. the podcasts are showing in my library. thx

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There has been another updater since this post. Have you installed that?
Also, connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Click the podcasts tab under that. Make sure it is set to automatically update all podcasts (onto the iPod). Click OK.
See if it works now.

Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
1- games
2- voice memo

1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.
3. Ignore the answer from AppleRulesTheWorld
