Ipod Touch no longer shows up on my OS and I cannot update

Nothing i do is changing this: Every time I attpemt to try to update my Ipod, i get an error message that the "ipod was disconnected" When it clearly wasn't...Not only that, but now, I can't even sync my Ipod with my iTumes...If anyone can gimmie a hand, that'd be much appreciated!

  • Ipod touch no longer showing up as a device in itunes

    My ipod touch (4th gen) is no longer visible as a device in iTunes.  This is a new development (it was fine the last time I connected my iPod to my PC about three weeks ago).  When I plug it into the PC (directly into a PC USB port) the PC beeps (confirming connection) and the device shows up in Windows explorer.  But the device is no longer recognized in iTunes (I have version 11.3.0.54).  Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

  • IPod Touch no longer showing up under My Computer

    My iPod Touch is no longer showing in the device list under My Computer and as such can't access it to get my photos off it.
    It works in iTunes just fine, syncs fine, etc.
    If I go to Devices and Printers, it used to be listed under the Devices category as iPod, but now shows under the Unspecified category as Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, so basically a generic device.
    I have no devices with exclamation points or any other trouble signs under Device Manager.
    Help?

    Well, I am not entirely sure what exactly happened but after trying numerous times to reinstall the drivers and getting all sorts of error messages, I finally got Windows 7 to cooperate. The iPod Touch now shows up and is being detected as a digital camera under Devices, and under Computer it is showing up under Portable Devices. If I double-click on it I can view my pictures, transfer them, delete them, etc.

  • Ipod touch no longer showing up in itunes after connecting to laptop.

    I downloaded itunes on my new laptop that runs windows 7.  Since I hadn't updated itunes on the pc, I connected the ipod to my pc (which runs windows xp). A screen pops up that basically alerts me that I have a digital camera installed.   I have updated the drivers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows and it still shows up as a digital camera and still doesn't show up in itunes.  Now, since I initially had the ipod hooked to the new laptop, I am wondering if I did something during the installation and sync on the laptop that has caused a problem on this desk top.   I am completely ignorant when it comes to electronics.  To summarize what I did.
    1. Downloaded itunes onto laptop that runs windows 7.
    2.Plugged in lpod touch to laptop and proceed to authorize both computers for itunes.
    3. Made a playlist that didn't sync with ipod.
    4. Went to the desk top(windows xp) and when I plugged ipod in it ask what camera location did I want to run device. That has never happened before.
    5. Went to windows system folder and found the usbaapl. sys folder.
    6 From the ipod camera device  I opened the device manager, found the ipod under digital imaging..
    7.Right clicked ipod camera and update driver,
    8.Checked  install from a list or specefic location.
    9.Search for best driver in these locations.  I then UNCHECKEd search removable media.
    10.Copied and pasted the driver information in the box and clicked next.
    11.Saw ipod device driver.
    After all of that Ipod still shows up as camera and will not sync!!! Help

  • Brand new iPhone shows in Devices; iPod touch no longer shows in Devices

    I bought an iPod 4 today and was able to sync it with my existing iTunes library. I connected to USB port, it showed in Devices & in My Computer (XP), no problem.
    However, my iPod Touch, 8 months old, will NOT show up in iTunes or My Computer now, and I have NO idea why. I did ALL the troubleshooting, including uninstall/reinstall iTunes, restart computer, etc. If the USB works for iPhone, I assume THAT is not the issue. After 5+ hours working on this, I am over it and wish someone could help. Apple sent me to all the troubleshooting articles and now they are closed.

    Try:

    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod touch no longer recognized by my PC/laptop

    My iPod touch is not showing up in my computer, or in itunes. Apple store says the connector port on the bottom is fried and won't ever connect to a computer via USB cable again. It still charges thru the wall charger, tho, and works fine otherwise.
    How can I get music onto my iPod touch via either wifi, or perhaps 3rd party apps like Dropbox?
    I know I can buy music thru itunes and do the automatic download onto the itunes on my iPod touch...but I have alot of music in mp3 format already on my laptop that I converted from old CDs and want to know how to get those albums/songs onto my iPod touch and my iPod's itunes.
    Please let me know if there are any other options to get that music onto there.
    Thx!

    That's what i was afraid of...but that's extra work and doesn't allow you to jump to a certain track.
    Thanks for the response- sounds like I either have to settle for keeping the iPod i've got and never putting new music onto it...or break down and spend the money on a new one. This one is barely past its warranty, tho, so it's tough to spend that kind of $ yet again for another iPod that won't last very long.
    Does anyone know of any 3rd party repair people who can fix iPod touch?

  • IPod touch no longer synching playlists

    Hi,
    A couple of days ago, my iPod Touch no longer syncs playlists. I have a couple of playlists with a few hundred songs. The playlist shows up on the iPod in the playlist menu, but if you go into the playlist, it only shows 2 or 3 songs. But if you go under songs, all the songs are there.
    Steps I've taken to fix this:
    1. Reset iPod. No change.
    2. Deleted and created a bunch of entirely new playlists, error still occurs.
    3. Restored iPod to factory settings. No change.
    4. Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled. No change.
    Has anyone seen this before? It's very annoying. I'm stuck listening to all my songs on shuffle, even if I just wanted to listen to a select few I put in the playlist.

    Auto-synching.
    The playlist is a Smart Playlist, created with the following rule:
    "name" "starts with" and then the letter, which I change daily.
    Options checked are:
    Limit to 10gb selected by random
    Match Only Checked Items
    Live Updating
    Again, when I sync, all the songs make it over, but the playlist is empty or only contains a couple of songs. This only seems to happen with Smart Playlists. If I select all the songs in the smart playlist, then create a new playlist based on the selection, this will sync properly.
