1st Gen iTouch not recognized by iTunes on Laptop

I have a 1st Gen iTouch that I cannot seem to get iTunes to recognize.
About a week ago I re-named it in iTunes, cleaned it up, and performed a sync.
Used it until the battery was low, and re-charged using my wall charger. Now, when I connect to the laptop, is is not recognized at all...
I have tried the following to no avail:
Re-install iTunes
Stop/Start the Apple Mobile Device
Try a different USB cable
Re-boot the laptop with USB devices not plugged in
Force the iTouch into recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
Try to connect using a different laptop
It still charges when connected to my wall charger. I have a 2nd gen iTouch that connects just fine (charges & connects to iTunes). I don't what the problem could be?! This iTouch is 1.5 years old and work great apart from this issue. Can anyone help?

Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • Ipod nano 1st gen is not recognized in itunes 10

    I updated my computer system to leopard 10.5.8 as well as the latest itunes 10. I bought a new ipod nano 6th gen, and it syncs and works fine. The problem I have is my old Ipod. It is detected by my power mac on the desktop only the icon it has is a folder, and when I open it is in blank. I open Itunes 10 and it doesn't appear. And I tried to follow the instructions on apple support, tried all ports, tried reseting the ipod, and it is still not showing up on itunes. Can someone help me with this please?
    Also, a white line showed up on the screen, does that mean the screen is broken? I can still see everything going on normally on the ipod but not where the line comes up (middle of the screen).

  • My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop

    I've been trying to do this for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult i think.
    All i want to do is synch all the content on my laptop with my Apple TV (and vice versa) so all the content including photos and home videos is the same on both my Apple TV and my laptop.
    Some points:
    There's enough hard drive space on both
    I'm using Windows 7 ultimate on my laptop
    The correct port exceptions have been added to Windows Firewall
    I have purchases on both my laptop and Apple TV from the iTunes store
    We're using a wireless network and it while it's possible to get them both cable wired, it would be a pain
    Home networking is set up in iTunes on my laptop
    I've set up my Apple TV to synch (not stream) with my account on my laptop
    Both iTunes and Apple TV are up to date with their downloads
    I think that's it - am i missing anything, or should this now just work?
    Cheers
    David

    As per the question, really...
    "My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"
    There's no error messages
    Only the films i've bought on my AppleTV appear on my AppleTV
    It's been synching for over 4 hours and hasnt got past the first film and the progress bar is not moving

  • Apple TV 1st gen does not show in itunes preferences or devices

    Apple tv 1st gen does not appear in itunes devices nor in preferences. The words "Apple TV" appear no where in itunes whatsoever.
    Windows 7
    Apple TV 1st Generation
    It used to be there but not since I updated itunes.
    I have tried:
    re-install itunes (version10.7.0.21)
    re-set apple tv
    unplug all cables on apple tv and router
    performance test on apple tv (OK)
    turn off "Home sharing"
    turn on "Home sharing"
    "Share my library on local network"  - Off - On - Off - On
    The apple tv works fine and it is connected to my network (I can watch youtube no problem).
    I've now spent about 6 hours researching any other possibilities to no avail. Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for all the helpful answers I received on this thread!!!!
    Anyway, this morning I received the notification to download the 10.1.2.17 which I did. This resolved my problem.
    I am still a bit sceptical that the same symptom my return as it happened the same way in the past.
    Fingers crossed!!

  • IPOD Touch Gen 5 not recognized by iTunes

    So yeah, my iPOD isn't being recognized by iTunes.
    Things I've tried:
    - Restarting PC and/or iPOD
    - Updating iTunes
    - Right click My Computer > Manage > Services > Apple Mobile Device > Stop/Start and Restart Service
    Sometimes doing one or many of these things will work. It's annoying to have to do these things whenever I want to sync my music and such. The USB cord seems fine too, when I plug in the iPOD touch a box comes up saying a camera was plugged in. I've never had a problem with syncing my old iPOD Classic. I've always had problems with syncing the iPOD touch, since the second time plugging it in.
    OS: Windows XP Pro
    iTunes Ver. 11.1.3.8
    iPOD: iOS 6.1 (Not wanting to update that anytime soon.)

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

  • Ipod not recognized by itunes or laptop

    i have an ipod touch 4g and i can't get it to be recognized by my sony vaio laptop.
    i recently got a new laptop and just finished transferring my itunes library over to it.
    i went to sync my ipod, but i had endless problems with my old and new library. long story short, i reset it completely.
    on my ipod, i set everything back to their old settings and whatnot, but when i went to sync it, my ipod didnt show up in my computer or itunes.
    i restarted, checked for updates, and all that with amds and itunes. i followed every suggestion from apple support, troubleshoot, and ran diagnostics from itunes. the diagnostics still say that there is not an ipod found.
    on its own, my ipod functions correctly and recognizes to be charged from my usb port. itunes and windows wont recognize it though
    is there anything else i can do? this is really frustrating me.
    thanks!

    - So you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Does it charge?
    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Try a known good compuuter.
    - 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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Apple TV (1st gen) will not connect to iTunes

    I am at wit's end. Until a couple of days ago, my 1st gen Apple TV connected fine to iTunes. Now, it will not connect no matter what. I have tried the following:
    1) restart both ATV and my machine (Win 7 running iTunes 10.7)
    2) restored ATV factory settings and reinstalled software
    3) hard-wire via ethernet to my computer (which some articles seemed to indicate should work - nothing happened)
    4) hard-wired both my cpu and ATV to a router - nothing shows up
    5) removed and reinstalled all Apple programs, including iTunes, QT and ancillary
    6) vaired between hard-wired internet connection and wireless for ATV
    7) did everything on this page, including open ports manually http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1453
    Most frustrating of all, my wife sees the device instantly in her iTunes. AGHH!

    Same thing happened to me, starting right after I  updated the Apple TV firmware. I restarted both devices to no avail. I can, however, play my itunes library content from the apple TV's "computer" app. So there must be some kind of connection. What I've lost is the ability to stream music from iTunes using AppleTV as an "airplay" device.

  • 1st generation iPod not recognized by iTunes 9

    Hullo:
    Recently upgraded to iTunes 9 and found that it doesn't recognize my iPod Shuffle (1st gen). The iPod shows up on My Computer, and it still plays and charges when connected, but it simply never appears on the Devices tab on iTunes (in fact, the Devices tab itself never appears).
    Thus far, I have tried re-installing iTunes (following the full uninstall procedure listed on the Apple - Support section), deleting my temp files, restarting the computer after unplugging all USB / external devices, and installing an older version of iTunes (iTunes 8).
    No dice.
    Is there anything else I can try? It seems the most common answer to this problem is, "Install an older version of iTunes," but iTunes 8 did not recognize my iPod either (I'm thinking it was because my oldest saved playlist is from when I had already installed iTunes 9, so I don't actually have any saved iTunes 8 playlists) (might be wrong, though).
    Please help?
    Thank you.

    Similar problem here. =(
    Plugged in my old 2nd gen (10Gb) iPod into iTunes 9 this morning and all I get is the "OK to disconnect" message.
    Which is a huge shame. This iPod is exactly seven years old this month, and I used it all the way up until last year to when I bought my iPhone. It's a testament to Apple's old hardline stance on quality over price, and the fact that they'd oust these models through lack of software development is disappointing.

  • 1st gen shuffle not recognized

    I have a 1st generation shuffle that my mac won't recognize. The problem occurred shortly after I upgraded to itunes 7 yesterday.
    Its not recognized by the iPod shuffle Reset Utility. It doesn't seem to be recognized by any of the usb ports on computer/keyboard.
    Restarting the computer doesn't help. Warranty has expired and the battery is dying. I hope its not on its way to being terminally DEAD. Suggestions?

  • 1st Gen Shuffle not recognized by Windows XP Pro

    I cannot get my 1st gen shuffle to be seen by Windows XP Pro. We have all the updates, the latest version of iTunes. The Shuffle plays, it connects to another computer running Windows XP. I see several messages here that point to different articles. The only thing we haven't done is edit the registry.

    Have you tried going through the steps here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    If that doesn't work, sometimes other USB devices plugged in can cause this. You may want to try removing any other USB devices plugged into the CPU (other than the keyboard and mouse).
    Also, what version of iTunes are you running? Check that by going along the top of iTunes and choosing Help>About iTunes.
