Windows does not recognize my ipod nano 7 gen

Windows 7 doesn't recognize ipod touch.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

  • Computer does not recognize my ipod nano (2nd gen.)

    Hi!
    I'm having a problem with my 2nd generation ipod nano. My ipod itself works fine! The thing is that my computer won't recognize it. It says something about there being some "malfunction" or other. Also, for some reason it doesn't want to charge right. Can someone please help me with this?

  • Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano

    itunes does not recognize my ipod nano 6, it is a used one and has 1600 plus songs, it shows the songs, but won't let me do anything with them

    I had this exact problem. I had to plug the iPod into a USB port on the back of the computer tower not the fron ones. Hope this helps.

  • Hi all, itunes does not recognize my ipod touch 5th gen but it does recognize my ipod touch 3rd gen.?

    Hi all,
    itunes does not recognize my ipod touch 5th gen but it does recognize my ipod touch 3rd gen.?
    Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, itunes 10.7.0.21, ipod 5th gen ios 8.3. I know I am not running the latest version of itunes for the
    ipod touch 5 gen. but at least with itunes open I would get a message stating cannot connect this ipod because I am not running the

    and now I don't get that message anymore when I have itunes open.I tried turning off ipod/computer/restarting, nothing. I tried going

  • ITunes does not recognize my iPod Nano Gen. 4

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina with the latest version of iTunes installed on it and an iPod Nano Gen. 4. The problem that I have is as follows: My Mac does recognize my iPod but just as storage device. iTunes does open when I plug in my iPod but I cannot find any iPod icon on iTunes and therefore cannot upload anything to the iPod via iTunes.
    I have performed a reset procedure on the iPod, restarted my Mac, and tried out different USB cables and ports but iTunes still does not recognize my iPod.
    How do I solve this problem?

  • New laptop with  Windows 8 does not recognize my ipod nano and I cannot download new songs I bought on i-tunes

  • Windows does not recognize my ipod

    i've been going at this all day. i've read everything at the support area at apple about this subject. but nothing seems to be working. i've connected my ipod to another computer and the other computer recognizes it right away. so i guess it might mean there's something wrong with my computer. it's really frustrating and i would really like some help. thank you.

    Hi b,
    Well over the weekend, before I could read your last reply, I took the iPod and laptop to the local Apple service centre. Their reply to my problem was. "We are not interested in Windows and do not know what to do with it." they plug my iPod into a Mac and it worked and they said that it was not the iPod, I knew that as it worked on other windows machines. After some other hostile, did I mention that these guys were not helpful....and their attempts to charge me for no service whatsoever. I left, vowing never to return there, even if it meant me ebaying the iPod!
    I went to a major computer retailer and told them my problem and he had never heard of this and wanted to look at what was causing it. This guy not only plug my iPod in my laptop, but his and a brand new one and they all failed to connect. He then plug my iPod into his computer and it worked, after resetting it and remembering to setting it up again, eg. from the language selection.
    After all this trying, including help from the Apple rep and using a diagnostic on the Apple Guys computer still no luck. It appears there was a software problem with the USB drivers, even though all other USB 2.0 devices plug into it worked.
    In final desperation he plugged in a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card and then the iPod into that and it worked!!!!
    I was about to buy this card but the guy said wait a minute and then plugged the iPod into laptop's USB ports and it worked as well!!!! We do not know why it did, not software or drivers were loaded onto the laptop but it appears inserting the PCMCIA USB card activated something and the iPod works now.
    So after 2 1/2 hours at the shop my iPod works and the guy did not charge me, even though I did not buy my iPod from there! So I would like to offer my experience to others and hope this helps and if anyone in Wellington NZ needs some computer stuff go to Harvey Norman on Tory street as I will now do it.
    So b, to recap, plugging in a PCMCIA USB 2.0 card then the iPod into it fixed my issue and I hope that it will help others in the same plight.
    Thank you for your suggestions as well.
    Take care,

  • How I Got my Windows PC to recognize my Ipod Nano 3rd gen

    Much like many of you, I could not get my computer to recognize my brand new Ipod Nano 3g. I was able to fix it, and now hope that this post will help others:
    *The Symptom:*
    After plugging Ipod in, Windows recognizes a new USB device had been plugged in, but I received an error message while it was installing the driver. In Windows Device Manager, the error was '*Code 10: Device Cannot Start*' and the Apple Ipod had the yellow exclamation point next to it.
    After fruitlessly searching through the forums, and reading and attempting all the Apple support documents (like the 5R's), I had gotten nowhere. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times, deleted registry entries, etc, and NONE of the suggested fixes worked.
    Important note: I tested my iPod on my Laptop and it worked, so I KNEW the issue was confined somehow to my main computer, and wasn't a hardware problem with the ipod. I suggest if you have a second computer available (even like a work computer), test the ipod there.
    I turned to Google, and found a blog that helped me fix the problem in 10 minutes or less. To give that guy some credit, here is the link: http://blog.irreverence.co.uk/?p=467
    *The Fix:*
    To sum it all up, basically the problem was not iTunes, Quicktime, or corrupted software. *Ipods evidently don't like other USB devices and/or drivers* (I know there's an apple support doc on this, but it didn't help me!).
    *Here are the steps I performed:*
    1. I went into the Device Manager and uninstalled any USB Devices (such as my Logitech Webcam, and printer) by right clicking on each device and hitting "Uninstall".
    2. I pulled all these devices out of my computer, leaving no USB devices attached (you should be ok leaving a mouse attached).
    3. I uninstalled a USB 2.0 Driver program that was listed in the Windows Add/Remove programs list (I suspect this might have been the issue).
    4. I rebooted the computer.
    5. Plugged Ipod in...and boom it worked!
    It would seem that playing around with your USB devices might help you if you're tried everything that Apple suggests on the Support pages. I hope this helps some of you out there.

    Hi Daboo14,
    You can always recycle the iPod through Apple.
    There is either a mail in option or you could recycle it at an Apple Retail Store and get 10% a new iPod.

  • TS1410 My iTunes will not recognize my iPod Nano 6th gen.   It has worked in the past and it works with my iPod 4th gen.  I've gone through the troubleshooting steps as suggested, but still -- nothing.  Now, what??

    iTunes will not recognize my Nano 6th gen. as a device.  It has been recognized  in the past and iTunes does recognize my Nano 4th gen.  The device connects to the Mac and charges allright.  All of the functions on the Nano work but want to modify my music, I'm tired of the same songs etc.

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

  • My computer does not recognize my ipod nano

    my ipod first gen can not be recognize my computer or on itunes if tried disk mode

    Have you tried a different USB cable or connecting it to a different port? Does the iPod still charge when you plug it in?  Does it appear in Device Manager?
    If possible, connect the iPod to another computer to see if it's recognized there.  If it ins't, it's a proble with your Nano, and if it is, it's a problem with your PC.

  • Windows does not recognize ipod nano

    i cannot get windows (or itunes) to recongize my ipod nano. once in connect the ipod, i get the 'do not disconnect' message indefinately. it used to work. it reinstalled itunes, reset my ipod, etc. any suggestions?

    thanks, but the troubleshooter assumes windows is recognizing the ipod. in my case it is not. i download itune 7.0 just in case. same problem exists. in fact, since windows does not recognize the ipod, itunes eventually freezes up.

  • Car usb does not regognize my ipod nano anymore.

    My car usb does not recognize my ipod nano, help.

    Hey there William,
    It sounds like the iPod is not working correctly with the car stereo connection anymore. I recommend this troubleshooting article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    Troubleshooting tips
    Beginning playback and controlling music
    Some car stereos may require that playback be started or controlled from either the device or the stereo. Ensure that your car stereo is set to the proper input for your device. If it is and you cannot hear sound from your car speakers, try switching to your radio and then back to the proper input.
    When using adapters to connect to your car stereo, you may notice variations in audio quality. When possible, use a shorter connection to the car stereo or try a different cable or adapter.
    Disconnect and restart
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
    Isolate the issue
    Try to reproduce the issue with an identical or similar accessory, if one is available, or test with a second device.
    Example: If you hear static coming from the left audio channel, try connecting a different device or try connecting to a different stereo or accessory that connects over the same interface (30-pin or Lightning connector, Bluetooth, or headphone jack).
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you have isolated an issue to the device, restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory condition. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue affects only a third-party accessory, contact the accessory manufacturer before restoring your iOS device.
    If the device does not update successfully, the issue may lie with the device and not with the accessory. See one of the following articles, depending on your device:
    iPhone
    iPad
    iPod touch
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • My computer will not recognize my iPod Nano when i connect it. I tried my laptop instead but it said the same thing - one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Can i fix this?

    My 16 gig iPod Nano 7th gen was put of power. I connected it to the computer and it started to turn on (the apple appeared in the middle of the screen). Then left it two minutes and the computer went into sleep mode. My iPod nano had gone off and now it will not turn on, or connect to the computer, so i cannot charge it. I am not sure if it is a problem with the usb cable. When I conntct the cable to the computer nothing happens, but then when i connect the iPod to the cable it says 'one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it'. Please don't say its broken already

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/
