5th generation ipod is not recognized by itunes, why?

5th generartion ipod is not recognized by itunes, why it this?
thank you.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
If it does not charge
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.

  • 3rd Generation iPod is not recognized in iTunes or Finder with FireWire

    My refurbished 3rd generation 30 GB (used the battery replacement plan) all of a sudden is not recognizable in either iTunes of the Finder when connected to a FireWire port, which it has done many times. However when I connect it with a USB connection it is recognized, but when I go to restore the software, I’m told I need a FireWire connection by the warning windows from iTunes.
    Any suggestions?
    Looking at the postings, it appears that other iPod users are having the same problem.

    Strange. Both of my Macs are PowerPC Macs running 10.4.10. My Third Generation iPod works fine. The only problem is that when charging it from the wall using the iPod Power Adapter it won't charge to 100 percent. Even after syncing it up directly to either my '17 iMac G5 1.8 GHz or '12 PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz it won't charge all the way. The Knowledge Base Articles I've read seem to indicate that in rare cases the iPod's logic board or Hold Switch may need to be replaced. So far I've replaced the 10 GB hard drive that died with a 20 GB hard drive, replaced the Hold Switch & replaced the Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. I think in my case the iPod logic board may need to be replaced. I originally bought mine refurbished & replacing the iPod costs about $299 according to Apple. Replacing the logic board only costs $65 though if you Google iPod with Dock Connector parts. The link shows up in one of the ads in the right pane of the search results. I really think Apple should recall the Third Generation iPods with defective logic boards. The least they could do is offer a logic board replacement program like they do for Macs.

  • My 2nd Generation iPod is not recognized by iTunes 10.5

    I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch running on 4.2.1. I recently updated my iTunes to 10.5 but now my device is not appearing in iTunes. My computer still recognizes the device but iTunes does not.

    Tried going to another computer but it does not support the Ipod because the itunes on it is not updated enough because the os is os x 10.4 which cannot get itunes 10 on it

  • My 5th generation iPOD isn't recognized by iTunes?

    When I plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes opens, but my iPod isn't recognized. Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions?

    By all of those suggestions, do you mean the ones I mentioned in the paragraph about or the ones in the support article I linked? Does this 5G iPod via still power on?  DId you try connecting it to another PC or Mac to see if it is recognized there?  Did you check the dock connector for any signs of debris or damage to the pins that could be preventing a connection to your PC?
    Any idea how long the average iPod should last? Ours if from 2006.
    Most people never get the iPod to last 6 years, so consider yourself lucky. That's quite a time span!

  • 3rd Generation iPod Shuffle Not Recognized by iTunes 11.1.1

    I am trying to have iTunes recognize my iPod Shuffle 3rd generation.  It worked fine until I downloaded iTunes 11.1.1.  I am using OS X version 10.8.5.  Does this latest version of iTunes not work with my shuffle any longer?

    It should work fine.  I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
    If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.

  • 5th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes

    I plugged in my 5th gen nano and itunes told me that it could not recognize it and I had to factory reset it. I factory reset it and now it won't connect to itunes. it connects to my computer and it says connected on the ipod screen, but it won't let me sync my songs to it. I have the latest version of itunes 11.0.1. I already reinstalled itunes, restarted my conputer and restarted my ipod. Is there anything else I can try?

    I seen this problem a lot. Since you are a Windows user (I can make it real easy). If you don't have the side screen (left hand side)..... look at the Top Right Hand side (under the close button [red X] ).... you should see your iPod there. If it doesn't work, try to reset your entire iPod and it should connect to your iTunes......
    if this doesn't help.... click on the link below.....

  • My new 6th generation ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the help guide and the ipod is not recognized anywhere on the computer, not even as an 'unknown device.'

    I can't find any answers to this question besides a discussion from 2006 regarding a "SPTD driver installation" with a broken link.  I don't think it's the cable because I can still charge the ipod, but the device is not listed in My Computer or in the Device Manager or anywhere.  The ports work with other USB cables including my web cam.   Help, anyone? 

    If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure.  If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • IPod nano not recognized by iTunes, why & can it be fixed?

    I registered my iPod Nano 3rd Gen when I created my iTunes account. Now that I have iPhone 4 as a device, iTunes no longer recognizes my iPod. I've tried most of the many user-unfriendly steps on Apple Support, to no avail. I want my iPod back & I'd live to know why it's "not registered", or I should say no longer registered.

    Hello,
    The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
    Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
    <a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
    Have you checked this link out?:
    <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
    Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    If not...
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
    Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!
