My ipod touch is not being regonsied in itunes and i have literally tried everything! Help me!
I have two ipods, an old classic mini ipod 1st generation and a ipod touch 2nd generation and neither of them are regonised in itunes. When they are plugged into the pc they charge and i have followed advice on the website, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and made sure i have apple mobile device which i have, can someone help, coincidently this happened when i moved house! Help me please!
I ran into trouble today, iPod Touch and Windows 7. Not sure why it no longer mounted or showed in iTunes.
Looked in the control panel "Printers and Devices" and had yellow error
Troubleshooting didn't help from there. Didn't help to go through Apple steps. But an update to MobileMe (coincidence?) along with Programs control panel and "Repair" reinstall of Bonjour, MobileMe, and also for good measure before I did that, I went into Services and made sure to restart iPod and Bonjour, as well as make sure it would retry starting the service twice after initial failure.
Also, in iTunes I reset/cleared the Synch History in iTunes preference.
Now works. Only had it just over a week. So very new disturbing event.

Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
ThanksHi, jodie_0182.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function.
My Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function. When it does, once in a blue moon, after 5 minutes it freezes. I am wondering if its becuase battery was left dead for 2 weeks or problems with the iOS. Resetting does not help.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.Hi,
Try a Reset
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the iPod On...
If that does not help... See Here:

My new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips
my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips
This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

My ipod touch will not back up with itunes and allow me to update to newest software
I am having trouble getting my ipod touch to back up with itunes and allowing me to update to newest suftware. It has been backing up for over 3 days and the status bar has not moved.
Terminate the backup. Close iTunes and disconnect the iPod. Reboot the iPod. Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPhone 6 and iPod Touch 5 not being detected by iTunes 12
iPod 5 and iPhone 6 is not being detected after I downloaded iTunes 12.1.2
Tried changing the lightning conductor, that didn't help either.
Re-installed iTunes but it was of no use. :/See iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

When I plug my iPod in, my computer makes the 'ding' noise. However, neither the computer or iTunes actually recognises that there is anything there, yet it still charges.
This iPod is BRAND NEW. I havn't even had the chance to ACTIVATE it yet. I installed the latest version of iTunes. I have tried THREE different USB cords, and EVERY USB available. I have restarted my computer. I have restarted the iPod. I have waited until it was charged. I have spend about HOURS going through Apple Support, and looking up alternative solutions from people having a similar problem. Most of their problems were fixed by wiping the iPod... mine isn't even activated yet.
Solve this one, Apple. WITHOUT sending me a replacement.Is iTunes version 11 installed? Just do not say latest.
Did you try everything here?
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
including here
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
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. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Next try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod/cable or computer problem
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

- 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 another cable
- 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.

Somehow my nano now lost all its music so now its empty! Also, before windows used to recognize my ipod and i'd get a pop up saying "open to view files" but now I don't even get that anymore. I have also tried syncing it by putting them in disk mode but NOTHING has worked. I am getting so frustrated.
I followed all of the "steps" on the apple support page but none of that has worked too. PLEASE help me because I literally feel like just throwing my ipods out the window. I never had this problem before.When you connect your iPod to your PC, what appears on the iPod's display? Does the iPod charge when you have it plugged into the PC?
Are you running the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3)? It wouldn't hurt to also make sure your Windows OS has all of the latest patches and updates as well.
I assume you have plugged the iPod ino different USB ports located directly on your PC and tried using another 30 pin dock connector cable to rule out the possibility of a bad cable?

Try unplugging the USB from both ends (PC & iPod) and restarting iTunes. If that fails, restart the PC. Happens to me ALL THE TIME.
