ipod nano driver for windows 10

The instructions you linked to describe good things to try. However, it's not the procedure to completely uninstall iTunes and related software components. If you have not already, you should go follow this procedure to uninstall the listed components of the iTunes installation, in the described order.

Then, download and reinstall the latest version of iTunes

It appears there is a good connection between iPod and computer, until iTunes opens. Here's my "theory." Some recent PCs have a "energy saver" feature that turns OFF full power to the USB port when the connected storage devices is not mounted by the system. An iPod is a storage device.

Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode

Putting iPod into Disk Mode - Apple Support

Run iTunes and connect iPod. If iTunes picks it up, it may prompt you to do a Restore, with a message about "recovery." If you're OK with erasing the iPod, do the Restore. After the Restore completes, the iPod is set to use the Manually manage music [and videos] setting by default, which also turns ON Enable disk use. With disk use enabled, iTunes keeps the iPod's "disk" mounted continuously which keeps the USB port at full power. Hopefully, that allows iTunes to recognize the iPod and allows the iPod's battery to charge.

You can turn OFF the Manually manage setting and set it to Sync Music (use automatic syncing) while keeping Enable disk use turned ON.

NOTE: With disk use enabled, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting iPod.

If this does not help, please post back.

What was the original reason for needing to uninstall and reinstall iTunes? Was that because the iPod was not recognized, or something else that happened before the iPod was not recognized?

Sorry but that didn't work nor did a reset.

What specifically did not work? Putting the iPod into Disk Mode? Getting iTunes to recognize the iPod in Disk Mode? Doing a Restore? Connecting the iPod (in normal mode) after the Restore?

This started only after I followed directions to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.

You followed this procedure?

If possible, try a different USB docking cable with 30-pin connector, to rule out faulty cable as the cause.

When you connect the iPod, watch the iPod's screen. Does it say "Do not disconnect" or "Connected" or give other indication of a connection" Or does it only show the battery charging symbol? Or does it not react at all to being connected?

Thank you so much- been frustrated With this issue the past two days. Un-installed everything and re-installed everything works great now.
