30GB iPod Video not being recognized by iTunes and low battery warning
This is without a USB connection to mu Vista machine
1. I hear a clicking sound (it comes from the HD) on start up.
2. A dark Apple icon appears
3. Then the back light comes on with the sad face iPod icon and exclamation point.
4. It then shuts down and screen goes off.
Plug it into a USB port and same issue but the screen shows an un-backlit "Please Wait Very Low Battery" message.
If I leave it plugged into the USB port it just cycles through the process.
Note too that the iPod is not recognized by iTunes.
I have done the reset process without success.
I thiught I had a bad HD and/or battery so I replaced both. I get the same issues.
Anyone have an idea?
DAve
Well I tried putting the old hard drive back in and it was recognized in iTunes. All is well now.
I think the issue is that once the battery is totally run down there is no way for the thing to get enough power from a USB port to bootstrap itself.
I finally let thing recharge from a wall adapter all day.
I suggest you try to get it charged via the car adapter overnight. Of course the car port must be supplying power with the key off.
The Apple store people said they fix this type of issue by charging the ipod for 20 mimutes with a high power charger (I assume this is a 1394 type).
All these issues coulkd be solved with a better design,

[b]BRAND NEW[/b] - OUT OF BOX IPOD VIDEO NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BY ITUNES
Alright, the topic basically describes what my problem is. This only pertains to my iPod video. Just bought it, opened it, started up computer and iTunes 7 (just updated) (I've had a nano for 5+ months) and plugged it in. It didn't show up. Didn't appear under devices but Windows does normally recognize it.
Help appreciated. Preferred if responded by email [email protected]
Thanks.

Windows XP Windows XP iPod nano(bought 25-1-06) / iPod Video(bought 13-10-06)Hey Ethan,
This may be drive letter confusion in Windows. try assigning your video iPod a different drive letter, following these steps:
Log off of any other users on your computer.
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
Post back with what's happened after trying the changing drive letter.

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.
I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync! -

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now
i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?
I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix... -
IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs
Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future. -

IPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes
Hello Apple Discussions, my name is Wong Meng. iPod Details: iPod Touch 4G FW: 4.2.1
I just ran across a problem with my iTouch where it would be recognized in Windows under My Computer, but iTunes would freeze and lag when it loaded when my Touch was connected. I restored my iPod, deleting some 17GB worth of media including apps I had no way of backing up, and now iTunes won't lag when I plug it in, it just takes a while to get things running. Still doesn't recognize my device. I ran diagnostics under Help > Run Diagnostics, and everything was fine except "No iPod, iPhone, or iPad found." I have the newest iTouch firmware (I hope), newest iTunes, etc. Help! Somebody help me, who has had similar experiences. Everything I tried on numerous Apple support pages like this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US have not been helpful.

Thanks!I had similar problem. Touch 2G was working perfectly until a few weeks ago then when I tried to download newly purchased music, my PC would not recognize my Ipod Touch. I had this problem back in April and it was resolved with updates from Microsoft and Apple. Anyway, after trying everything in desperation I called Apple yesterday and spent 3.5 hours on the phone with a tehnician who wouldn't give up until she resolved the issue, AND SHE DID!!!! We tried a lot of things but what seemed to work and might work with you is to uninstall ALL Apple applications, Bounjour, Mobile Me, ITunes and Quicktime (you don't have to uninstall Safari) and disable any firewalls or security programs you have, restart the computer and then reinstall Itunes again, restart the computer and then try connecting your device to the computer. We also returned the IPod to the factory settings. If that is indeed your problem, you will notice the popup window, that was appearing before the problem began, telling you that the driver needed has been installed. It is a driver problem. I was so impressed with the technician and her determination to solve my problem. I hope this helps.

IPod is not being recognized on itunes anymore. Screenshots inside
I was putting songs on last night and everything was going fine. After I finished putting the songs on, I checked my ipod and the songs were all there.
I come back 5 minutes later to listen to it and there are all gone. Just like that.
I took some screens of the error message it's giving me:
Whenever I plug my ipod in and iTunes loads, this is the message I get:
http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/1273/problem1nk8.jpg
So I do that, I try restoring it and I get this message after it tries to extract and restore:

Do you think reinstalling iTunes will work or is this just a hardware problem? How do I get my iPod exchanged then?Steps:
1. Start the NEW version of iTunes. Now turn off all of the following: A. Screen Saver, B. Firewall, C. Anti-Virus Program, D. Ensure ALL programs have stopped before proceeding!
2. Connect the Touch to the Computer via the USB connector. iTunes should be opened and ready for you. As soon as iTunes recognizes the Touch and you see it on the left side column, highlight/select the Touch and go through each tab and TURN OFF ALL Syncing! Do this quick, you do not want any sync's at this time.
3. Go to the first Touch screen within iTunes and verify your upgrade is recognized.
4. Manually work your way through each TAB and manually sync your music and video.
5. Make sure all is completed and no syncing is happening! Upon verification of same, disconnect the TOUCH from the PC (Suggest disconnecting the Touch from the cable, instead of the cable from the PC).
6. Start the TOUCH, and ALL shall be well!
Let me know if you need any further HELP. I will be out of pocket for about the next 30 minutes or so! Good Luck!

Another "iPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes" thread
Ok, I have a 2G 32G iPod touch and it was working beautifully...but here lately it is refusing to be recognized in iTunes. I have it plugged in and it shows charging on the iPod screen, but will not come up in iTunes...I've restarted the comp and iTunes so many times it's not funny. I've followed everything from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852 and I guess I'll need to post the results. I did reinstall iTunes as well.
First, in the Device Manager my iPod doesn't show up in the USB drop down menu like the page says it should.
Second, when I go to the Event Manager I see some errors that say "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( iPod Service ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service started." And I have no idea what that means, as I'm not computer savy.
And I guess finally my iPod isn't showing up in my computer like some others have told me that it should. Any questions I need to answer please feel free to ask, I'll try anything I just want to be able to get iTunes to see my iPod again lol.
Thanks for all the help in advance.

IPod Not Being recognized in iTunes and hangs in iPod Update
My Shuffler was working fine this morning, then I took it to work and plugged it in a new computer. This time, however, it was not recognized by iTunes. Windows caught it as a USB Mass Storage Device and it shows in My Computer as a Removable Drive. However, it does not show in iTunes and when I open the updater to Restore back to factory install and it hangs saying Initializing...
Any ideas? I have tried it on another computer with the same result. I reset it and followed many instructions from the support pages. I have uninstalled both iTunes and the iPod software and reinstalled it with the same results. I am out of options and getting ready to send this in for repairs, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. Thanks!
iPod Shuffler (512 MB) Windows XP ProNo data on web site concerning this problem and no contact mail available,, I tried the chat but :

My ipod isn't being recognized in itunes and not in my computer
when i plug my 2nd generation ipod up it won't go to itunes and it wont even register in the computer. But when i plug up the 30 gig ipod it goes directly to itunes and it shows up in the address bar. I ran the diagnostic and it showed that the 2nd generation was the secondary and not the primary ipod on the computer. I wonder if that has anything to do with that at all? I have no idea I've been checking for months i need some help.
"I ran the diagnostic and it showed that the 2nd generation was the secondary and not the primary ipod on the computer."
What diagnostics?
If you are connecting both iPods at the same time this will cause problems. Disconnect the 30GB while syncing the Nano. -
AH! My ipod is not being recognized by itunes!
i have a ipod nano 2nd generation and have itunes7 on my computer... the itunes software doesn't recognize that my ipod is plugged into my computer but it's charging...? I'm so lost and I jsut want my ipod to work so I can add and take songs off from it.

I mean... i'll plug in my ipod and itunes comes up, but it doesn't bring up my ipod the songs that I add or delete on itunes doesn't go on my ipod?! I have no clue what it's doing!
