Windows/ iTunes/ iPod Updater Don't See The Nano

Well, here's the story. I got a refurbished nano after my first broke. Plugged it in, didn't work. Went back 2 an Apple Store, they told me it was a software problem, the guy even had it working. I came back home, uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, and the iPod updater, before downloading all of them again. Installed 'em all, opened the updater, plug in the iPod... nothing. I'm at the screen where it says "Plug in an iPod to update it," with my iPod sitting plugged in. It doesn't show up in My Computer, or in the system tray, or on iTunes, or in the updater.
BTW... its not my port, i've used several, including the ones for my keyboard/mouse/joystick, so the USB is fine. I'll plug it in and sometimes the apple logo will appear before the iPod restarts. Sometimes, a black-and-white battery logo appears on-screen, showing that its charging, but then that goes away too. So... any suggestions?

When I say the icon dissapears, I mean that it totally dissapears. The icon goes out, the screen goes blank, and theres nothing there at all. It'd be like a regular nano turned off. I'll give you exactly what happens. I plug in the nano to a USB port. The silver logo w/ black background appears, for about 2 seconds. Then, it goes strate to the battery w/ lightning bolt. Then, that dissapears. 1 second later, the same icon flashes, dissapears, then flashes again, before dissapearing for a third time. Then... nothing, no more icon flashes. Just a blank screen.
And yes, I have used every USB port on my computer, including the ones that go to my USB keyboard/mouse. So it isn't the ports.

Hello levon10
Just delete the song and then go through the process of downloading the purchase again.

TS1591 iphoto recognises my iPhone but iTunes and finder don't see the device?

Folks,
Iphoto autmatically detectgs my iphone 5s when i connect it to my imac. Howver, both finder and itunes don't see it as a device. If i sign into itunes store the device sees the apps currently on my phone but i can't access my songs to play. Am i missing something?

Did you follow the instructions on the page you came from?
FYI: You will not see the iPhone in the Finder.

HT2736 I just updated iTunes and I don't see the option to gift the app? what gives?

I just updated iTunes and I tried to gift an app from my PC. The options is no longer selectable. What gives?

OK, so it sounds like you are trying to do the gift on your Mac. I also tried it on my Mac with an App I had already purchased, and you are right - it doesn't give you the option to gift it....on the Mac. I looked up the App you were asking about, and based on what I could see in the iTunes Store for Apps, and on your indication that you have an iPhone 4, it appears that this is an iPhone app?
If it is, then you can gift it (even if you have purchased it) via the iPhone App Store (I tested this with my purchased app that showed no "gift" option on my Mac). Click on the App Store on your phone, do a search for your app, then click on the share option at the top right hand corner. When I tried this on my iPhone using the same app that I had looked for in iTunes on my Mac, it came up with a window that had the "Twitter/Email/Facebook/etc. options, but it also had a "Gift" option.
So, try to gift it via your App Store app on your phone.
Hope you have the same results I did!
P.S. I have also sent in a support ticket to iTunes Store Support for this - clearly there is an issue.... (sorry about the misunderstanding - it doesn't work the way it is supposed to!)
Cheers,

Itunes/Updater don't see IPOD

I'm having some problems with my new 60gb video IPOD. Itunes recognized it initially, but during syncing something happened and now Itunes and Updater don't see the IPOD at all. My XP computer sees the IPOD as a USB Mass Storage Device with and Ipod and and "unknown component" as part of it. After following all the steps in the help database, I think the problem is that the actual IPOD is somehow corrupted....I need to restore the factory settings. The problem is, that the updater doesn't see the IPOD - it's a catch-22. I tried to bring my ipod to work and got the same issue.
Should I try hooking it up to a mac and doing a restore?
Can I "format" the Ipod under windows explorer?
What is going on??

I'm having the same problem with my iPod. I've had it for 2 weeks and it hasn't worked yet. I just haven't had time to call Apple. I've tried everything on these help pages and the closest I've gotten was having the updater recognize the iPod so that I could hit the "restore" button but after a little thinking, the updater says, "can't mount iPod". I only got the updater to recognize it after unplugging my Internet connection. I'm convinced that these problems are software conflicts. I got rid of the folder with exclamation point by resetting the iPod through diagnostic mode(turn the hold button on then off, hold down the menu and the middle select button until you get the apple, then hold down rewind and the middle select button until you get a menu, choose manual and the option at the bottom of the list is "reset"). The easier way of doing a reset didn't work for me. Of course, since the ipod won't mount, the folder/exclamation point is back. This is so annoying. My last hope is to try using it on older computer that I've cleaned off. The idea of re-installing windows (and everything else) on my main computer is not an option - I have 60 gigs of stuff and junk on there plus software programs and I don't have time to untangle it all right now. I was so psyched to finally get my iPod and I understand that hardware/software has bugs but can ANYONE from Apple please figure this out for us!!

Multiple iTunes/iPod Updater Entries in Add/Remove Programs

There are three entries for iTunes in the "Add or Remove Programs" window.
iTunes 6.0.3.5
iTunes 6.0.2.23
iTunes 6.0.1.3
I never bothered uninstalling the previous version before upgrading (I fear it will mess up my music library if I take iTunes completely off). I always figured, like with most other programs, it would replace/delete the previous version on its own.
The same thing happens with the iPod Updater. I have two of those.
iPod for Windows 2005-11-17 (4.17.0)
iPod for Windows 2005-09-23 (4.3.0)
Should I uninstall them all (iTunes & iPod Updater) and reinstall only the latest versions (iTunes 6.0.4 & iPod Updater 2006-01-10)? I have like 30GB of music, and if anything were to happen...I'd seriously jump in front of a speeding car before reripping everything...ok no I wouldn't, but I'd be extremely ****** off.
Thanks in advance for any help! =D

I've tried and tried several times to Connect my device to my PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to download the update from Apple. Problem is iTunes doesn't connect to my iPad so that I can update to iOS 5. I don't see the iPad icon when iTunes loads. I have looked in my computer and see the iPad is recognized. Any one else having this problem? This is also happening with my iPod
Thank you, Ripley

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

There is no enable disk use option for iOS Devices. See this article for instructions on copying videos and photos from your iOS device to your PC.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

I don't see the AirPlay button on the bottom right of my iTunes (v 10.6.3) window. Does anyone know why and how I can set it up? Thanks!

You do not have to have an Apple TV, but you should have an AirPlay capable speaker on your network.

Let's be real clear here -- are you saying you are using Internet Explorer and when you try and download Mozilla Firefox it gets around 75% through and shuts down?
If so there is something wrong with your computer -- or at least IE. I rarely, if ever, recommend this, but it might be time to reformat your hard drive and reinstall your OS (if you are even thinking about doing this the first thing you must do is back up all your data files, preferably to writable media like DVDR or CDR).
If you have a friend with a computer perhaps you can get them to download both the latest iTunes as well as (more importantly) the latest firmware updater, and then install them on your machine (they can write them to their own CD).
The other thing that occurs to me is you might not be logged in as admin on that computer -- make sure you are doing this and are the only user.
Otherwise my brain is fuzzy right now -- perhaps someone else can jump in after you reply (I'm right in the middle of packing for a cross country move and only able to spend about five minutes a day on this board).

I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod. I don't see the photos tab in Itunes?? Prob user error but wanted to get some help.

What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

I just updated my ipad2 to ios7 0.2 latest update, but when I go to apps store to upgrade I don't see the upgrade button, nor when I go in for new apps I don't see free button to download new apps. Could you please help

I just updated my ipad2 to ios7 0.2 latest update, but when I go to apps store to upgrade I don't see the upgrade button besides each app, nor when I go in for new apps I don't see free button to download new apps. Is there any setting that missed ? please help...

What do you see instead of update on the apps you are concerned about?
When updating to iOS 7 auto update for apps will be turned on. When an app has an update available your iPad will download and install the update with no input from you. Apps that have been updated by this automatic process but which have not yet been opened will show a blue dot before their name.
A record of updated apps is kept for your convenience. You can see this record by using the App Store app and select Updates, the right most choice in the bottom row.
