Ipod nano not recognized by computer

My computer does not recognize my Ipod nano.
Hi Bill

Do you have iTunes installed on your PC?

If not, you should download and install iTunes, which is required for the transfer of files to/from an apple device on a PC:

If you do already have iTunes installed, have you tried USB ports on the opposite side of your PC to see if the iPod is recognized on that port?
