Windows recognizes iPod Nano, Updater/iTunes does not.

I'm sure this question's been brought up, but how do I get my computer's iTunes/iPod Updater to recognize my iPod? I've tried resetting/reconnecting/rebooting/reinstalling numerous times, and I've got a 2.0 USB Port.
The thing that irks me is that my other computer recognizes my iPod Nano in the Updater/iTunes while this one doesn't. However, that one's old and doesn't have any music, thus I need this one to work.
They're both Windows XP.
Thanks in advance.

I also had the problem of iTunes not recognizing my iPod nano, but it worked on my dad's comp, but I figured it out today. If the iPod is appearing in My Computer, make sure it doesn't have the same drive letter as any other drive(esp. C). If it has the same letter, change the letter by going to control panel -> administrative tools ->computer management ->disk management -> right click on drive of iPod(have plugged in so you know which drive to select)->click "change drive letter and paths" -> I'm not sure if it matters what letter you chose, I was told to choose a letter such as "M" or lower.
Hope this works for you all...I know how frustrating it is to not have the iPod work!

  • Windows recognizes Ipod mini but itunes does not.

    i have been having problems lately with windows recognizing my ipod but itunes will not. i have gone to the support page and have tried everything on their twice now and still nothing. i got the updater to recognize it at one point and hit restore but halfway through it said cannot mount and now all my songs are gone.

    If your iPod is recognized in "my computer", changing the drive letter can sometimes resolve this issue.
    Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
    Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
    The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
    These also may help.

  • My Ipod nano 4th gen DOES NOT sound good.... why? HELP

    My new iPod nano 4 GB does not sound good. I have tried everything: reset it, record new differentd CD's, changed the earphones and nothing works. Music sounds with very bad quality. Is it configuration problem?, is it itunes problem?, is it a manufacturing problem?. What can I do?
    I appreciate you help

    It takes around 2 weeks to get a replacement, a bit less if it is not personalised. Apparently a lot of the ipods coming out of China have audio/visual problems at the moment. Guess they should work on their quality control process.

  • I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not.  I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes.  I still have the same problem.  Suggestions?

    I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not.  I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes.  I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord.  Does anyone have further suggestions? 

    Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
    If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

  • Windows recognizes ipod nano (1st generation) but itunes doesn't

    I'm a happy owner of ipod nano for about a year. My itunes and ipod nano was working perfectly until few days ago I encountered problems with both of them.
    I fixed my itunes (which kept showing an error message when I tried to uninstall/repair it) but after i got that fixed my itunes couldn't detect my ipod nano.
    I looked at a directions page in this website and it told me to "press start service" in something. (i forgot what that "something" was)
    Whenever I connect my ipod nano to my itunes, the ipod folder & error message about "ipod service module" pops up.
    I'm DESPERATE to fix this problem. So please answer my question and thank you. =]

    One of the services in Windows that has to be on is iPod Service. If that service doesn't stay started, iTunes won't see the iPod.
    Go into your services (administrative tools, services) and scroll down until you see it. If the service doesn't say started, right-click on it, choose start. In properties, it should show as automatic.
    While I know you already reinstalled iTunes, another reinstall of it might put the service back in the correct mode of starting whenever iTunes needs it.

  • HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

    My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • My kids ipod nano 5th gen does not sync to music and gets error 13019 message.  So far done all the suggestions - and now it has NO music.  It seems to download all the music and then error after the last song.

    Kids ipod gets the 13019 error after trying to sync.  I have done all the suggestions online and now it has no music and will not sync.
    It seems to download all the music and on the last song clicks out and says unknown error. 
    any other suggestions?
    Kid is mad now there is NO music on the ipod.  At least before it had the old music and just would not download new songs.
    All worked on our iphones, and other ipods.  Just hers is wacked.
    thanks

    I've encountered the same problem as this recently, but unfortunately i haven't worked out how to fix it yet.
    I tried to fit too many songs on my ipod nano from itunes, and it told me it would create a selection of these (titled my songs) and put them on the nano, which it did. I then went back onto itunes to delete some songs so that they would all fit on the nano. I also deleted the "my songs" playlist, knowing that all the songs were still stored under Music on itunes. When i tried to sync the nano it said that it couldn't be synced as the required disk cannot be found.
    HELP, PLEASE!

  • TS1363 I can not put my music on the new nano because itunes does not recognize my ipod.

    I had an ipod nano 5th gen and bought the new nano with a completely different loading dock. The computer tells me to reinstall itunes but im not sure why beacuse all my music is saved on the account i created for the last one. Do I have to reinstall itunes for my computer to recognize the new ipod? What will happen to my music?

    What is the exact error message you are receiving?
    As to re-installing iTunes, it will have no affect on the content you actually have stored in iTunes such as your music. After you finish re-installing iTunes, everything should be right where you left it in your iTunes library.
