6th gen iPod nano not recognized by Mac itunes

Hey people,

I could really use some help with my iPod. iTunes won't recognize it and it's not mentioned in the usb list. It does start charging when I plug it into the Mac so the cable is working? What can I do?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)

Power and data use different pins so the fact that the device charges does not prove the cable is OK. Test with a known good cable if possible. See also If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support.
