My iPod nano 7th gen isnt identified properly

Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following document?

iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'

Hi there - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me). You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):

1) iTunes

2) Apple Software Update

3) Apple Mobile Device Support

4) Bonjour

5) Apple Application Support

Then you restart your computer.

Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).

Then you restart your computer again.

Mine is working perfectly again now.

I hope it works for you,

Carmen.

if you tried completely everything, and it hasn't worked.

i updated ALL of my drivers, reset my ipod multiple times; restarted my laptop multiple times.
but wat worked for me was simple go to "uninstall programs" in control panel
once the programs r listed, look for iTunes and right click and click repair.

believe me,i tried everything, plugging and unplugging in all USB ports.

hopefully it works for you

I'm using windows 10 with a 7th gen ipod nano

(i was about to uninstall iTunes because that's wat was left to do,but then just clicked repair.so i didn't need to uninstall)

kiwilucea - this way of uninstalling worked on Windows 10 for a 7th Gen Nano not being 'identified properly'.

Hi kiwiucea,

Many thanks for your post. I followed the process step by step ... AND IT WORKED ! (to my surprise, I must admit...).

Thank you o37wolf !

The repair trick seems to have worked for me :-)

My Nano is syncing as I type :-)

Thank you soooo much for posting this!!!!!!!! I searched all night and finally came across this and it helped me.
