  • Windows doesn't recognize iPod Touch 8gb 3g

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and after I upgraded my iPod Touch to iOS4, it got stuck in DFU mode and is stuck in a continuous DFU mode loop. My computer won't recognize the device and I've done everything to try to reinstall the mobile device driver, I've reinstalled iTunes, rebooted the iPod, and I just don't know what to do anymore. Somebody please help me.

    I found a solution! I uninstalled everything from Apple on my computer. Everything. Bonjour, Apple Software Update, iTunes, everything Apple related that was on my PC. I then went to my Appdata folders and deleted all of the Apple and Apple Computer folders I could find. Then I rebooted and reinstalled iTunes and now it works fine! I hope this helps some more people as well!
    I did exactly that, as I was told to do that by an Apple advisor, only it just brought me back to square one. Same probelm as before the uninstall, ipod in recovery mode, and itunes not recognizing it.
    After that, they have shipped me a prepaid box for repair/replacement. I recommend everone else with same problem to do the same. Hopefull the new one I get will have OS4 installed and work fine. ****, I'll take 3.1.2 at this point, just want the **** thing to work.

  • Windows doesn't recognize ipod touch 4g even when in recovery mode, what can i do. itunes doesn't detect it either.

    What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
    Without knowing that:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    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 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.

    I just don't get it. I got the iPod from a friend which didn't use it at all. If I connect my iPad or iPad mini to my mac, they all get connected well and iTunes sees them too. iPod touch not for some reason
    The iPod touch is completely new, no missing contacts etc. It works on other macs as well. Only my iMac doesn't see the iPod Touch. Maybe I can repost this problem in The IMAC section in stead of the iPod Touch, since I think its a iMac problem from now on...
    please help!

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Windows XP only recognizes iPod Touch as a camera.

    There are older discussions on this topic here, but they did not solve my problem. So I thought I would post what finally worked for me.
    For some reason my PC started thinking my iPod Touch was a camera. Despite what I have seen elsewhere, it was not due to my having pictures on the device... there are none.
    Others have talked about the need to update the ipod device driver, but Windows XP w/ Serivce Pack 3 does not allow me to do that.
    I noticed that the Apple USB Driver was missing, and could not get it replaced until I found this at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver
    Right-click the Apple Mobile Device entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
    If asked to connect to Windows Update to search for software, choose "No, not this time."
    Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click Next.
    Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install". Then click Next.       
    Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. Then the Have Disk button should appear.
    Click the Browse button, then navigate to the following location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the usbaapl file.
    Click OK in the Have Disk window. Then click Next. Click Finish. Windows installs the driver.

    Hi w!cked,
    If your PC only recognizes your iPod touch as a camera and it doesn't show up in iTunes, try downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes. You can download iTunes 8.1.1 from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If the issue persists, make sure the USB drivers are installed properly as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

    Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation.  Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled.  I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

    the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

  • Computer doesn't recognize ipod touch

    when I plug my ipod into my laptop via a usb cable, the computer doesn't see it...ie it doesn't show up in My Computer as it used to do.  It seems like this began when I went to IOS 5
    I followed the troubleshooting steps (except the msconfig one) that start here
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/#section_1
    they talk about itunes not recognizing the ipod touch, when I guess my problem is that the computer doesn't see it. 
    any help?  Thanks! 

    Did you already try to remove and reinstall all Apple related software, like explained in this article?

  • Itunes doesn't recognize ipod touch even after I download latest version

    About a week ago my ipod touch froze on the apple logo screen. I found a way to reset the factory setting and then try something else (can't remember what it was) where the itunes logo shows up on the screen and you plug it into your computer. After I did that a message came up that said "The ipod "ipod touch" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 9.2 or later. Go to itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes". I did that and it still won't recognize it. I even downloaded the latest version of iTunes 3 times and after I plug my ipod in still the same message. I got this ipod touch as a Christmas gift in 2009. A friend of my mom's bought a car and it came with it. She didn't want it so she gave it to me. So, I'm not even sure which version it is. I've had no problems with it up until now. What do I need to do to get itunes to recognize my ipod? There's got to be more than downloaded the latest version several times- I know that's not good.

  • Powerbook g4 doesn't recognize ipod touch

    i've upgraded my powerbook a bit over the past couple years and i believe it to be compliant with the specs for the use of an ipod touch. i recently upgraded to OS X 10.4.11, i have the newest version of itunes and i believe the usb ports are 2.0 (but i can't figure that out for sure, just that's what the spec page for it on apple.com said it came with). do i need more to connect my ipod touch? when i connect it the ipod responds but lighting up, but doesnt do anything but just activate like i turned it on. it doesnt connect or charge or anything. i am using the usb connector that came with the ipod too. if anyone has advice i'm all ears. thanks.

    alright! i have a usb 2.0, that's what i thought.
    when the ipod touch is connected it doesn't respond like it is connected to the computer.
    and itunes doesn't recognize it. it doesn't come up under devices.
    it also doesn't show up on my desktop or on the left side of my finder where cds, servers and ipods should be shown. it doesn't connect at all.
    but the system profiler does seem to know there is an ipod plugged into the usb port but nothing happens about it.
