Ipod shuffle, 4th, not recognized by itunes.

When I connect ipod to computer, a troubleshoot/fix error window pops up. Also states it could be missing a file. I checked my device, and it says it is okay. I have another ipod that I tried, and itunes won't list that under devices either. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent working on this. Help.

Tried that as well as updated everything else I could think of and still no ipod under devices. Also purchased software and cleaned up registry as well as any other errors on computer

  • IPod shuffle does not recognized by iTunes after restore

    Hello
    I have a iPod shuffle (4th gen) and a windows laptop.
    After restoring my iPod shuffle (as directed by iTunes), iTunes does not recognized my iPod anymore.
    The data in the iPod has been deleted (ie return to the factory settings), but iTunes does not proceed to prompt me to name my iPod and set up sync options etc, it simply does nothing and does not recognize my iPod. 
    I went on My Computer, and reformatted the iPod shuffle again. As a result of the reformatting, iTunes recognizes my iPod but it requires me to restore my iPod back to factory settings again. It became a cycle of either recognizing the iPod but asking me to restore it; or does not recognize my iPod after restoration.
    Please kindly assist me with this situation as it is rather frustrating.
    iTunes is in the latest version as I have attempted the trouble shooting support on the webpage.
    Many thanks.

    Hi priscillayeung,
    If you are having issues with your iPod being recognized by your Windows computer but not by iTunes (or being recognized but requiring a restore, which then causes it to not be recognized again), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop

    I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
    Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?
    Laptop   Windows XP  

    Why would you throw it away if it is in warranty? Why not exchange it?
    What kind of laptop is it?

  • 2nd Gen iPod shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or computer

    I read the other posts about people's 2nd Gen Ipod shuffles not being rcognized by iTunes or their computer, but none of them seemed to fit.
    I have had my iPod shuffle for less than a week. Last time I had my iPod connected to iTunes in the "Settings" section I clicked "Do not automatically open iTunes and synch with iPod" or something along those lines. I assumed this meant iTunes wouldn't always open when I plugged it in to charge it.
    However, now when I plug it into my computer, iTunes does not recognize it and I get a message from my computer that there is a "USB Device Not Recognized" and the error message reads: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it." It shows up as an "Unrecognized Device". I have tried plugging it into a different USB port, and I have also downloaded the "Ipod Reset Utility" to try to reset it to it's factory settings, in case that would allow it to synch up with iTunes again. This does not work. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I can get iTunes to recognize my iPod again? Thank you!

    Brand new ipod shuffle (2nd gen). When I plug it into the USB port, a "Disk Insertion" prompt warning appears with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." The two options in the prompt window are 'Eject' or 'Ignore.'
    Having read other message boards, I decided to plug it into a PC computer and re-formatted it with FAT 32 filing system, but the exact same thing still happens. My MacBook give me the same message when I plug the shuffle to the computer. iTunes does not recognize it that anything is plugged in either.
    Any suggestions?

  • My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or give me the battery sign. I have tried toubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but it doesn't work. What do I do to fix it?

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

  • HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • TS1363 My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  Is this repairable?

    My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  I have tried a variety of options, even resetting, but still no luck.

    What does the iPod's screen say or do, when you connect it to USB port on the computer?
    The article referenced is for "regular" iPods.  An iPod touch is an iOS computer, so this article would be more appropriate for troubleshooting.

    Be sure to rule out a faulty USB cable as the cause.  Try another cable, or try the cable you have with another device that has a dock connector.
    Also, you should do this test to rule out a problem with the USB port (such as lack of power or USB device conflict).  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). 
    Then, start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.  If it still does not connect, connect something else to the same USB port to confirm it is working.  Preferably, use something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.

    Your media should not be affected.  However, you should always have a backup of your media since glitches do happen.
