ipod nano 7th generation usb problem

New iPod nano 7th generation not being recognized when USB plugged in. Not showing a new device or anything. Have uninstalled/installed iTunes7. USBs working with other devices including iPhone4S. Using Windows 7 Home version with all updates. Have rebooted several times. No other USB devices plugged in while connecting new nano. Tried on another machine with Windows 7 Professional with same results - not working. Any suggestions? What am I missing? Any new drivers for 7th generation? Did see OS 1.01 already available for nano, but cannot download until PC and iTunes recognize the device. Thanks.

iPod nano (7th generation), Windows 7

I figured out the problem. Very simple, but overlooked at first. It was the cable that came with the iPod nano. I plugged it into an outlet using my iPhone cube charger, then connected my nano. It would not recharge the nano. Went to the Apple store and exchanged it for one that charged the nano while there. When i plugged the new one into the PC it recognized the nano, opened iTunes and walked me thru the usual setup. Synced with no problems.

So check your cord.

I got the same problem (windows 7) . My nano is not recognized either USB or Itunes but my iphone5s is recognized.

I have checked that the cable was not the cause of the problem by inverting it with the iphone cable and it still doesn't work. It seems impossible to update the driver.

The nano works with a friend's PC runnig with windows 8
