I plug my ipod nano in with the Apple cord, but it does not charge, or appear in itunes. It also doesn't charge with a regular charger plugged into a powerplug. The cord is not the problem because I have used multiple cords. The ipod can still be charged in a docking station, but I need to plug it into my laptop to get songs. Help!
iPod nano, Windows XP

I have been trying to solve the same issue (I assume) all morning. Finally found that if I followed these steps ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 ) to the letter, my issue was solved. The page I was using as a guide did not have the part about "Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer", and I was just uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. Once I did that step and reinstalled it worked like a charm. All the other crap I was doing in the other steps probably was just a waste of my time!! Hope you have the same results.
Unfortuanately this doesn't work for me, but I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks anyway!
Why is ipod nano not connecting to my computer or itunes and is not charging?
