Hello carolfromryde and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

It appears you are having issues with a Windows PC running iTunes being able to see an iPod Nano. Take a look at the steps here for specific issues with iTunes for Windows. Note that the steps are different depending on if you got iTunes from Apple or from Microsoft.
