Q: my windows 10 does not recognise my ipod touch 4th generation

Hi,

I have here a very very old iPod nano (3rd generation) and Windows 10 does recognise it.

After upgraded to Windows 10 and the Anniversary update I connect the iPod (with the original Apple USB cable) to the computer.

(just curious) I did check via Control Panel   ☞    Administrative Tools  ☞   Computer Management  ☞ The Computer Management screen  ☞ click Device Manager.

Then start iTunes and click on the iDevce icon.

By the way is iTunes on your computer up-2-date ?

Hope this help you.
