Windows 7 does not recognize ipod 6th gen nano

Windows 7 does not recognize my device so I can't sync to iTunes. I tried running MSCONFIG, reinstalling iTunes and various different cables, usb ports. Any other suggestions?

Does the iPod appear in Device Manager when it is connected?
To access device manager, click Start and then right->click on Computer and choose Manage.
It might be listed as unknown or under the USB host controllers section.

    Why window 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th generation?  and of course iTunes either.

    See:

    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (it applies to win 8)
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

  • Windows 7 does not recognize ipod

    My iPod classic is not recognized in windows 7 (new PC).  I can see my iTunes and all the music on line, however, I cannot synch any new music as the PC does not recognize my iPod.  I have tried all the help FAQs that are on-line.

  • ITunes does not recognize iPod (3rd gen?) even after trying everything...

    I have searched and not found this exact problem on any of the forum pages. My computer (PC) recognizes my iPod as an external USB drive. It is completely charged up (from the AC power). No error messages. Screen shows the "updating - do not disconnect symbol" constantly while docked but the pod does not show up in iTunes at all. I can get the main screen (menu) page by disconnecting the USB device through Windows, but when I try to select any of my data on the pod it shows nothing downloaded on the device. I've tried everything in the support section (most recent version of iTunes, checked that iPod service is running, reinstalled the COM interface for iPod service, deleted and reinstalled iTunes, etc. As a final resort, I "restored" the pod to factory settings using iPod Updater, but no joy...To say I'm unhappy is putting it mildly. Any suggestions before I jump out a window or something????

    Sorry for the curt/short explanations, but I am very frustrated.
    My computer recognizes my iPod. iTunes does not.
    iTunes does not recognize my other nano (2gb) or my friends shuffle. However, when my friend's shuffle is plugged into the computer, the iTunes window will pop up though I still can't see the actual device. On my nano and video, iTunes does not pop up.
    In response I have...
    I have reset my iPod.

    I have changed the power management on my USB hubs.
    *no luck
    I have specified and changed the letter pathway of not only my iPod but my other usb peripherals.
    *no luck
    I have "reinstalled" the COM Interface about 5x after various changes.
    *no luck
    I have downloaded the recent iPod updater and that dealt with my iPod JUST FINE and then ran iTunes.
    *no luck
    I have selectively chose the with processes are on the startup.
    *no luck
    but for good measure, here are the processes running right now:

    Programs like Anapod recognize my iPod. They both mount and execute processes just fine.
    Can anyone help me here??

  • Windows xp does not recognize ipod

    windows xp will not install ipod video...keeps saying it will not install ipod...tried to turn off norton...tried to uninstall itunes...changed drive letter...still will not install

    How nice. Any more stories for us?
    More specifically, what won't install? "iPod video" isn't a program, so it can't be that. Do you mean iTunes won't install, or the software on the iPod CD. What error messages do you get when trying to install?

    Hello Warren,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano.  It sounds like your iPod nano is not being recognized in iTunes on your Windows computer.  I found an article with steps to address this:

  • TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod. The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" but the device is not listed in iTunes so it will not sync.

    Hey, we are having exactly the same problem! My old ipod died a slow death so I bought a new nano 16gb 4th gen and I can't use it as itunes isn't recognising any ipod being plugged into it. I've been through the whole support database and every USB port is working on the laptop, so I know the computer is recognising its there its just itunes itself - even removed and downloaded it again but no change! If anybody has any ideas what is going on please let me know!!!!

  • PC does not recognize Ipod - Can't mount IPOD error message

    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering if anyone experienced the same problem with their Ipod as I have. I have tried to play songs on my Ipod through the shuffle songs function but it does not work. The Ipod tries to play one song; however, it will not play it and then it will continue to the next which won't play either and this continues until I just shut off my Ipod. I have tried resetting it and also reinstalling Itunes but it does not help the problem.
    A second problem is that my Windows PC does not recognize my Ipod when I plug it in. I have tried so many things to try and solve this including trying to restore my IPOD using the updater but when I keep getting the error message "Can't mount IPOD".
    If anyone knows what I can do to try to fix this I am greatly in your debt!
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem. Now I have many new ones. Here goes the chain of events 1st iPod did the same exact thing:
    1. Was going along my marry way listening to music
    2. Music stops playing
    3. I look to find my iPod cycling throughe very song but playing none... for an hour.
    4. I turn it off.
    5. I get home to attempt to restore it but when I plug it up to the computer, it is not recognized, cannot mount, ect.
    6. I continue trying to find a way, then it stops going to the "Do Not Disconnect" screen.
    7. Well I try it later on today, like 20 mins ago and it does it! Yay! but then it resets itself and it now rests on the apple logo and Windows does not recognize the USB device.
    Oh yeah, did I mention I made the trade and got this one SATURDAY. Yeah so it's already broken.
    any suggestions?

  • Brand new Ipod touch bought yesterday - Screen is frozen with an itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh or restore ipod. Computer and itunes does not recognize ipod.

    This is first Ipod for me  - I have had less than one day. Screen is frozen with itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh/restore or do anything with ipod. I turn off/on and get the same frozen screen. My computer does not recognize ipod. Itunes does not recognize ipod so I cannot restore.... Should I take this ipod back and get a new one? Is this normal?

    Before you can use the iPod you have to activate it by connecting it to a computer with iTunes.  Try the following to get your computer to see the iPod so you can activate the iPod.
