  • IPOD NO LONGER RECOGNIZED BY ITUNES - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    When connecting to I-Tunes my Ipod now appears only as 'IPOD'
    The Windows 'Autoplay' box appears on the left hand side of my screen.
    Everything then freezes for a short while then an error message says that I-Tunes has detected an Ipod that is corrupted.
    My Ipod itself is fine so I'm reluctant to restore if that will not solve the problem.
    Is something to do with an automatic software update?
    Please help......................

  • Ipod no longer recognized by itunes

    I have gone through the process of resetting the ipod as per the apple help website. "Toggle hold switch, hold menu and select button till apple logo appears, then try and put it into disk mode.. it pops up on my desktop in diskmode but it still wont get recognized by iTunes. And when I tried to just drag a folder of music to the ipod in disk mode, the space gets taken up but there is no sign of it on the actual ipod.
    I am not sure what else to do to get this ipod restored and dump new songs on it. If possible I would like to bypass using iTunes to load songs. any help is appreciated. THNAKS!
    NOTE: it charges while its plugged in, it just has no recognition by iTunes.  I am using OS Mavericks as well. 
    It also seems as though the space is all occupied on the ipod but nothing new has shown up.  Can I just erase this ipod and start fresh?  I am all updated on iTunes as well..
    TL;DR:  Ipod charges/shows up in disk mode; not recognized in iTunes on Mavericks or 10.6

  • Video IPOD no longer recognized by Itunes and wont Update

    This is a long complicated issue. My Ipod has been working flawlessly until 2 weeks ago. Someone tried to plug it up to their computer to charge it and it wiped out my library and added their library. At first i was thinking no big deal, i will just reconnect it with my computer and it will load my library back on. However once connected to my computer it is not recognized by itunes. So i did a reset , which seemed to be working great and it started "updating" about 80% through that process it gave me an error message that says " This disc can not be written to or written from" now I have no idea why it would say that? and although it seems completely wiped out and useless, it still shows that much memeory is missing in the "about ipod" screen on the ipod. So i know the information is there somewhere , somehow?... Anyway I dont know what to do, Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Oh and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Itunes program to make sure it is up to date. WOuld adding new songs to my library have caused this problem?

    1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
    2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    See if those two steps clear up your problem.

  • IPOD no longer recognized by iTunes after newest upgrade!!!!

    I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My IPOD is now not recognized by Itunes. I get this message: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software". I followed the instructions and I also downloaded the latest iPod updater software. Restarted the computer only to get the same message - OVER AND OVER.
    I have never had this issue prior to downloading this newest upgrade. A patch or resolution is needed ASAP to fix this issue. People invest TOO MUCH money in these products for something silly like this to occur.

    However, iTunes now want's me to update to a new version (1.4)!?! Should I do this or wait until Apple fixes 1.5?
    hi John!
    hmmm. do you mean itunes 5.0.1.4? what version of itunes are you running currently? (just to be on the safe side, let's head into your itunes "help > about" and check to see precisely which version number scrolls up from the bottom.)

  • Ipod not being recognized in Itunes on Mac, i restored it on PC because i couldnt get it to restore on my Mac

         I just bought an Ipod Classic 160gb 2 days ago. I first hooked it up to my mac and it synced all 2000 songs and played fine. I ejected it but unplugged it before the ipod said it was done. It was my fault, i thought it was like the iphone where you just click the eject button and unplug. So I dont think anything about it until today when i went to try and sync it again to add some movies. It gave me an error and it wouldnt sync. Im not sure on the exact thing it said. So i proceeded to try and restore it, thinking something was wrong. I starting restoring it and it gave me an error saying "The iPod could not be restored, unknown error (1433) occurred.
         So i take it to my PC thinking that if i restore it there, i can just hook it back up to my mac and add my music back. I plug it in the PC and it tells me that i do need to restore because it is corrupted. So i restored, everything fine. I even added a song to it from my PC just to see if it would work. So i go to plug it in to my Mac and Itunes doesnt recognize it, it does nothing. The ipod did come up however on my desktop, but not as the usual black ipod, it came up as a white hard drive. So the Mac is now seeing it as a hard drive and not a Ipod????
    I have no clue what ive done here, do i need to just take it back and get a different one or what? any help would be appreciated.
    Ive also tried restarting the ipod and restarting my computer, nothing works.

    Connect it to the Mac, if iTunes launch, close it back.
    Use Disk Utility, select the iPod
    Click the First Aid tab
    Click the Repair
    Eject the iPod
    Disconnect the cable.
    Connect back the iPod and wait for iTunes to launch.
    Restore your iPod.
    Good Luck!

  • Ipod shuffle not recognized by iTunes on mac

    When i plug in my 4th Gen iPod Shuffle this is the error message I receive:
    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again.
    If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    I reloaded iTunes but the problem persists. It works fine on my other Mac using the same cable. I get the Status Light on the Shuffle so the connection and cable are fine.

    Apple will not deny the downgrade to OS X 10.10.1 in the App Store. Just make sure your Settings>App Store>Automatically check for updates>Install OS X updates box is unchecked. I did not uncheck mine and last night my MacBook Air was upgraded to 10.10.2 (14C81F), the corrupted update, automatically! I had to downgrade again this morning and Apple again allowed me to downgrade.

  • IPod Photo no longer recognized by iTunes 10

    I do not know how long ago my iPod Photo stopped being recognized by iTunes. It is certainly an old iPod that I occasionally use to record voice for podcast.
    Today, I noticed that this iPod Photo no longer shows up in iTunes 10. I connected it to two Mac's; one is a G5 tower running OS 10.5.8 and the other is a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.1.
    My current objective is to get the voice file off of this iPod Photo. But, of course, it will be nice to have access to it in iTunes 10.
    Please advise.

    Hello Profinite,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Not sure as to why this happening, other than the fact that is probably related to the new iTunes 10. Have you try any of the basics yet? Since the iPod does not appear on either system, the cause could be the cable you are using to connect it with. If at all possible, try using a different cable. I would also try different USB ports on each computer as well. What happens when you reset it with it still connected to either Mac?
    Another possible solution to at least get it mounted as drive on one of your systems is to place the iPod into *Disk Mode* as described in this Apple support document.

  • My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes.

    Hi There,
    The title actually says it all..
    (My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes 7.4.2, although the iPod works fine.. iTunes keeps saying to reset it, but I don't see why I should)
    The iPod seems to work just fine, so I'm not in a big hurry to erase all my songs audio books etc..
    I am thinking that this is a problem with Macintosh iTunes version 7.4.2, from what I'm seeing, but how should I proceed?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Eric

    Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you.  Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

  • Ipod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by Itunes

    pod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by iTunes
    Today have been the problem that my ipod touch 4G is no longer recognized by itunes. He'll appear in My Computer as a DigitalCamera etc, but not in itunes. I've already uninstalled Itunes + Ipod rebooted and then installed it to try a different USB port + different USB cables, all useless. No jailbreak.
    Got it now put into DFU mode and restore to read, unfortunately it is still not recognized by my PC but only on the laptop so I must go to my mum´s Laptop and everything transferred from there again ... pity me here is displayed only when the restore Ipods "Can not restore: errorcode 21" or something like that.

    I've now uninstalled the USB device driver but now my iPod listed as a "portable device" and no longer listed under Apple MobileDevice

  • IPod no longer recognized by MacBook Air

    Yesterday I purchased a refurbished iPod Photo. It worked fine yesterday - I synced it with iTunes and was able to place 20g of music on it. Today I plugged it in, and it is no longer recognized by my computer, but still charges. I tried resetting both computer and iPod. I reinstalled iTunes. When I forced my iPod in to disk mode, it did not recognize that it was plugged in to my computer - instead of displaying "Do Not Disconnect" it stated "OK to Disconnect". I tried it on two different computers, and had the same issue.

  • Ipod no longer recognized, software is bugged help plz!!!

    I cant stand Itunes or any I-program anymore. Ive had my ipod forever, with alot of songs (2000 of them). Recently my Itunes tells me I need to update software, so I do so. I then had Itunes 6, and Ipod update 2006-01-10. Biggest mistake EVER.
    1. My ipod starts functioning funny with many glitches
    2. Next time I plugged it in, it told me that it must be updated to function properly, then it realized it IS updated, THEN it restores my Ipod by itself, without me pressing anything.
    3. THEN, the next time I try to plug in my Ipod, its not being read by Itunes and the Updater freezes if I open it. My 2000 songs have vanished (worst part).
    Basically, my pc is treating my Ipod as if its not plugged, my songs are gone, and I dont want to uninstall everything and start fresh without doing it right (while not downloading this glitch version).
    -If any Apple workers do care enough to read this, GO AWAY CUZ IM REALLY UPSET AT ALL OF YOU TECHNICIAN IDIOTS AND ID MAKE YOU PAY ME MONEY FOR MY SONGS IF I COULD
    -If any helpful knowledgable apple forumers can help me, please do so, this is killing me.
    Thank you!
