iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

TS1363 My computer recognizes my Iphone 4 but not my old nano. Please advise.

My pc recognizes my Iphone 4 but not my old nano (1str gen). Nano was registered with an old email address. Nano is not showing up on my computer.
Help!
Thank you.

Did you put them on sperate USB ports when pluging in? Could be bad a port on the nano since it is sooo old. Dose it charge when you plug it in to annother computer or wall charger?

My computer recognizes my iPod nano but not my iPod shuffle

I don't know how to get my computer and iTunes to recognize my iPod shuffle, but I already have a nano that works perfectly with my computer.

If you're connecting them both at the same time -- don't. Unplug the Nano dock, and plug the Shuffle into the same USB port -- preferably through a USB extension cable (to preclude any physical connection problems with the Shuffle). Unless there's something wrong with your Shuffle it should appear in the iTunes Source List, just like your Nano.

HT204368 4S searching for Bluetooth devices but not finding them?

Hi I have just bought a second hand Iphone 4S from a company online and I am trying to get Bluetooth headset paired.
I have turned the Bluetooth off and on, and the headset - I have put the bluetooth function on my other work phone a Blackberry and the iPhone is not finding them - it just keeps searching?
Tried to pair from the Blackberry and it would not work either
Can anyone suggest anything?
thanks

Stop trying. The iPhone Bluetooth does not include the necessary protocols to pair with another phone. The headset on the other hand should be OK.

Bluetooth on but not connecting to devices

I am unable to have my MacBook Pro connect to bluetooth devices. I have a new Bose wireless speaker that works fine with my iPhone but not to the MacBook. The MacBook does not see any bluetooth devices but it does say that the MacBook is discoverable. Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tony

Bluetooth devices become unresponsive

I can download photos to my computer via my Ipod Touch but not a video of 833mb yet I can send it to my FB account on the same said device, does this make any sense?

See:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Do y have XP? if so see that topic in the above link,
Can you go to My Computer>iPod>DCIM folder and copy it from there?
Windows XP can't import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the files to your computer's hard drive.

Is there an incompatibility between iPad2 and outlook 2010 calendar? I can sync appts down to the device but not up to the computer calendar.

Hi all,
Would you know whether there is an incompatibility between iPad2 and outlook 2010 calendar? I can sync outlook appointmens down to the device but not up to the computer calendar. The same occurs with my iPhone 4, can sync appointments down to the device, but not back up to the computer. Any help appreciated!

Most computer's USB ports do not have enough power to charge iPads while they are active. An iPad will charge while in sleep mode, but very slowly.

As you didn't say what kind of computer, what operating system, or what version of iTunes it is very hard to give any meaningful advice. You might start with these:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Bluetooth device is not detected during installation of bluetooth driver

Hi , Initialy bluetooth was working properly, Few day ago I saw that there was no bluetooth icon in system trayas well as in list device manager. So I uninstalled the driver and try to install. But during installation it showthat bluetooth device in not detected and it exit.

Downloads the Windows 7 Hotkey Features. This will enable the wireless console with Fn+F5. Then you can enable bluetooth from there. Windows's built-in bluetooth drivers should work fine, maybe even with an update from WU if you're lucky.

Edit: Don't forget to download the System Interface Driver too.

I just bought a new 2013 Honda civic and my iPhone 4S won't pair with the cars Bluetooth device but it did on other people's iPhones; I have no other Bluetooth devices on my phone. Any suggestions?

I have to ask,
Are you making sure you are in park before attempting the sync? The car won't allow you to do it in motion, whether or not you're the passenger.

T420 windows 8.1 Manage Bluetooth devices will not turn on

I have a T40 that I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8, and recently to windows 8.1, blue tooth device act flaxy and when I go to "Manage Bluetooth devices". I have a bluetooth logictech v470 mouse which works most of the time and a bluetooth headset Hype (HY-91)
I have 2 issues:
1. can not turn on the slider to turn bluetooth on easily. - I finally get it turned on after awhile by double clicking, waiting, or just luck, not sure why it just does not just go on.
2. I have trouble with my Bluetooth headset device the second time I connect no matter what I do unless I reboot or re-pair the headset it will work.
I thought it could it be related to two bluetooth devices, but I powered down the mouse. I thought skype was causing an issue, but I quit it and made sure it was not running in the background.
I did find if I turned off the internal speakers and internal mic only then the headset works properly.
Any ideas?

Well my problem is now solved, both devices are bricked, Apple Store replaced both devices today, After talking with my daughter had the iPad mini was charging and it updated iOS8.1.3 and then bricked, tried all the things you suggested with both devices. Yes, I agree about not letting my devices die, this was the first time my phone had died in 5 months but I firmly believe iOS 8.1.3 was the cause of both devices demise. Apple checked both devices and promptly replaced both in about 30 minutes. I hope this is not the way Apple is planning on continuing with software updates. I have 10 apple devices and have been a strong supporter of their company, but these kind of half done updates are the reason I removed all Microsoft products from our household 7 years ago!

How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?

How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?

There is no way to delete songs from an iPod.
Nothing will be touched on your iPod in regards to iTunes content with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer if you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the simple instructions included with the link provided. Certainly as a Windows user you maintain a backup for all important data which should include your iTunes library? Important regardless the platform but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. Or do most Windows users start with a new computer from scratch without transferring any data from an old computer to a new computer due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns?
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only from an iPod - really. As the largest distributor for music and as #1 by far in MP3 player sales, this is required by those who own the distribution rights for the music. Part of an effort to prevent or minimize stealing music by those who own the distribution rights.

Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

My iPhone4 docks correctly with some devices but not others, please help!

Hi,
Firstly spologies if this is old news but sometimes its easier to 're-ask' than trawl thousands of pages!.....
I have a 3-year old iPhone 4 that has developed a problem which i'm trying hard to solve;
*Phone used to dock fine with anything and everything - this was about 1 year ago.
*for no apparent reason it ceased docking with my Bose Soundock and a Logic3 accessory dock (connected to a hi-fi) at home
*symptoms were; it would charge and operate as normal whilst docked but would not play music through either (the Logic3 dock did not acknowledge it was docked). Otherwise it would sync and connect normally with iTunes, etc. and connected fine when plugged into my car.
*I reset it, restored it from back-up, updated/reinstalled iOS (this has since updated at least twice) with no other effects. Also checked and reset all settings.
*I subsequently bought a Pure Contour dock as I was able to try it in the shop and my phone worked with it, plus it has Airplay anyway. I have since, in an attempt to find a bedside DAB radio/alarm dock that works with it, found that it works fine with some devices but not others with no rhyme or reason as to which.
*2 days ago I changed out the docking port myself using a cheap replacement bought from Amazon, to see if it would cure.
* now the problem is reversed! The Bose and Logic3 docks I have, that it wouldn't work on before, it now DOES....and the Pure dock and my car, which it DID work with before now fail to connect with it!
*just to reiterate this, my wife's gen3 and gen5 iPods dock and work faultlessly with all devices mentioned....and mine had done previously.
to my knowledge it is NOT;
- a compatibility issue. The phone used to work fine on everything I had. Then it stopped. How's that?!
- a connector issue. The male connectors on all docks haven't changed.......and the female connector in my phone has changed from liking selected devices to then liking the others!! (it is female after all ;-) !)
-a software issue. iOS has been updated and the phone wiped and restored and all sorts so many times I can;t see how it can be!
could it be a problem with the data exchange between phone and device when it is docked??
or do I really need to try changing the port for an 'official' one??
or is it just broken and that's that?!

It's either a problem with the connector on your phone (dirt, lint, bent pin, corrosion) or with its connection to the motherboard inside. Cleaning the connector is a good place to start; either a dry toothbrush, air blast can or wood toothpick. Next inspect it carefully with a good magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe. If nothing turns up it is probably damage inside, which will be difficult to fix. Aren't you due for an upgrade about now? Your iPhone 4 is 3 generations out of date!

the appletv will not display your movies in folders.
you could change the tags in itunes to include the genre in the "show" field in the "video" tab. this would replicate the view you want, but you will need to tag all your movies to do this.
