ITunes does not recognize my 2nd generation iPod Touch.

The computer sees it but iTunes doesn't.
o iTunes diagnostics says no device is connected.
o I AM using the Apple-supplied cord.
o I've tried ALL the USB ports.
o I've stopped and restarted Apple support utlities then rebooted PC. (Multiple times)
o I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. (Shut down PC after uninstall. Deleted Apple directory from AppData. Shut down PC agan. Downloaded iTunessetup then reinstalled.)
o Another iTunes (same version) PC recognizes my Touch and wants to sync it.
What's changed since the last successful sync?
o Updated Windows to 8.1.
o Updated iTunes to 11.1.3.8.
o I have disabled some irritating Dell run-in-background utilities. (The PC is a Dell Inspiron 14R.)
Short of buying a new iPod Touch, what do I need to do to get my Touch synced?
Thank you.

GOT IT!!!!!
The following steps worked for me:
1. Uninstall iTunes.
2. Uninstall Apple Application Support
3. Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
4. Uninstall Apple Software Update
5. Uninstall Bonjour.
==> In summary, uninstall EVERYTHING Apple. (I left Quicktime installed as a gamble and won.)
6. Reboot PC.
7. Open Windows File Explorer and go to the C: drive.
8. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Program Files.
9. Delete the Bonjour folder from Program Files.
10. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Program Files (x86).
11. Delete the Bonjour folder from Program Files (x86).
12. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in ProgramData.
13. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\Local.
14. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\LocalLow.
15. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\Roaming.
==> In summary, wander around the C: drive and delete any folders that have "Apple" in their name wherever you can find them. (There should be no folders with 'iTunes" in their name except possibly in Music. That can be left. So can all the folders named "iPod Photo Cache" in Pictures.)
16. Reboot PC.
17. Now that any known association with Apple has been removed from the PC, re-install iTunes. (Note: It may be necessary to re-authorize the PC for any content downloaded onto the iPod.)

ITunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle

iTunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle (512MB). Windows 7 sees the iPod as an empty external drive although the iPod has music on it. The iPod plays the music fine. iTunes does recognize a similar first generation iPod Shuffle.
What can be wrong with the iPod Shuffle? How can I fix?
Thanks,I
Jay

Why do the new earphones not work with 1st Generation iPod touch?

Does the 1st generation iPod touch not "recognise" [recognize if you are American] these functions? I am talking about the microphone and the button on the new earphones.

Then why don't apple make ear phones with microphone which the 1st gen itouch will recognised...
Because the Touch is primarily a music player, that is what I purchased and I'm quite satisfied with it as it is.
I'm so fed up of the way Apple Market...
What are their plans for their consumers... to
to keep buying new Ipods?!?!?!
Err...Yes! Welcome to the real world.
3G Iphone was released shortly after the Iphone...
why couldnt they make us wait longer...and get the 3G
You still don't understand this commercial world do you?
same with Ipod Touch... yes i Understand new Gen ipods...would have better features...
Let's all wait a hundred years when they bring out the the brain implants...
But hey wats up with making us fall with Apple...we like the designs, the features...but why then bring in new ones that apple know will not let our old ipods adapt to it.
You like the design, you buy it, enjoy what you have and don't get so jealous.
Sick of Apple... they do it on purpose... I guarantee...
No way?!
the new Iphone to realease next year....would be Iphone 8.0 mega pixels camera video recording....either way...they would make their customers regret for buying their old Iphones and Ipods...
If so, then I might buy one, but then I wouldn't moan if a better one was released six months later.
4 now, do something about the new ear head phones....cos apart of app store and applications...we want to be ablt to use microphones...to communicate on social networking...and voice memos...
This maybe because the hardware is simply incompatible, they cannot cover every eventuality, had they done so the Touch would have been more expensive and I would not have bought one.
Technology moves on, fact. I you don't feel Apple are playing fair then just avoid their products, that'll learn 'em.
By the way, if you want Apple to hear your thoughts go here - [Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html]
They do not officially monitor this board.

My Laptop does not recognize my 1st generation shuffle

Hi, My computer as well as itunes does not recognize that my shuffle exists. I've tried:
1) turning on off the shuffle.
2) updating itunes
3) ensuring that the my computer is not cutting power to the usb port. I followed the intruction on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343 for "iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB"
What else should I do?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

Itunes does not recognize my 6th generation ipod nano. I installed, unintalled the progam...can't get it to work. any suggestions?

can't get my itunes to recognize my 6th generation nano. I have installed/uninstalled. Restarted and I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

HT1386 My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?

Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
Documents say
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
And my Ipad (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc) shows a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
Both are in the same network,
Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
. iTunes is open on the computer
what can i Do ???

Hi Skydiver119, and tks for four interest.
I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
You indicated " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
I disconnect the wire,
and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
So, I can not sync via wi-fi
I appreciate if you can help me.

We need to find out what you actually have here. There is no Adobe Reader Pro. There is Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
With Acrobat Pro, you may be able to do some editing after running OCR. With Adobe Reader, you cannot edit.
Which one do you have?
