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.

IPod Nano shows on desktop, but not in iTunes
I haven't used this iPod Nano with my G5 since it was new. Today I connected it, and it shows up on the desktop, but it doesn't appear in iTunes. I unmounted it and connected it again. each time I do that, it tells me it's detected a software update, but when I check, the dialog box tells me it's current.
any help, please?Have you seen this?

IPod Nano 5G not recognized as device for itunes.
I recently got an ipod nano 5g, and itunes is refusing to recognize it. It is shown only as a disc on my desktop, and is not shown under devices in itunes. As this ipod still has stock software, it's highly flawed, and I'm hoping the update will add the common sense features I"m wanting. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect so as to update.

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

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...

My daughter's ipod nano shows up in "devices" when I plug it in...but it disappears. Right away it says it needs to update, but then after extracting the files it comes back and says that it can't be updated because it can't be unmounted. help?!
When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
