  • 1st generation ipod touch not recognised by computer or itunes

    My first generation iPod touch is no longer being recognized by my laptop or itunes. It wont charge etc or even show up in my computer. It will how ever charge through other things, such as through an xbox and a power supply. The USB sockets work fine on my laptop, phone connects perfectly, only issue is with the iPod. The trouble shooting only dealt with itunes but none of the issues it bought up were relevant, everything it suggested has been tried and tested and doesn't work. What can i do?

  • Help - My 5th Generation Ipod not recognised by ITunes but 1st Gen Ipod is!

    Can anyone help? This is driving me mad!
    I recently purchased a 5th Generation 80gb Ipod. Before installing to my PC I downloaded the latest 7.2 version of ITunes together with quicktime. However whenever I plug my new Ipod in, nothing happens other than the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' appearing in XP asking for the driver to be installed and the Ipod Charging/displaying that it is fully charged.
    I have spent hours going through the apple site and following their suggestions on this and have done the following:
    Re-started the iPod service
    Uninstalled and re-installed ITunes 7.2 (at least 5 times now!)
    Deleted all my temporary folders and temp internet folders and cleared cookies, files, etc
    Ran Windows Install Cleanup Utility to clean up any leftover installer files
    Tried the Ipod in all of my USB 1 & 2 ports (My MESH PC is less than a year old)
    I then contacted Apple Support who suggested I try my Ipod on another computer and if it didn't work to return it to them. So I duly installed iTunes (7.2) on my laptop at work and hey presto my Ipod was recognised and I was able to download a few tunes.
    I glean from this that there can't be a fault with the Ipod itself??
    Back at home I re- tried all of the things above and then after still no joy I connected my old 1st generation ipod to my pc and after some time ( at least 5 minutes) iTunes recognised the old ipod and syncronised. Using the same USB Port and the same cable I plugged in the new Ipod but still nothing happened other than being asked to install the driver once again!
    Now all would be fine if I kept my music collection on my work laptop but unfortunately this is not possible and I could even get into serious trouble for having iTunes on there.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be really grateful as £200+ is a lot of money to pay for something that does not work!

    The "driver" never was available from Apple. The driver files that Windows uses to communicate with an iPod are standard Windows OS drivers for a USB Mass Storage Device. If Windows cannot/does not recognize your iPod at all, not even at the driver level, it's likely an OS issue, unless the iPod fails to work on another computer as well. At that point you'd been dealing with a bad cable or bad iPod. Since another iPod works with the same cable, then it should be fine.

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
    I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
    Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
    The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
    An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
    Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
    I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me out. 

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
    Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

  • How do you dowload songs from iPod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

    I have iTunes on two computers. I bought a movie on one computer, but through a series of events had to erase my iPod on that computer and sync it to a different computer. Now, it will not sync the movie unless it is on the computer I bought the movie from. Because I erased my iPod on the computer I bought the movie, I have to download my iPod to the computer I bought the movie on in order to sync the movie to my iPod. How do you download everything on the Ipod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

  • ITunes is getting my brother's 2nd generation iPod mixed up with mine!

    I got a 1st Generation iPod Nano for Christmas last year. It has been working great, and I've experienced few problems. For Christmas this year, my brother got the 2nd Generation iPod Nano. We both have seprate iTunes libraries in our seprate accounts on the computer. I was uploading songs from his library onto his iPod for him. As soon as iTunes said "Okay to disconnect" I did so, and then closed out of iTunes, logged off his account, and signed onto mine. I opened my iTunes, and plugged in my iPod, and where the summary of the iPod showed up, it said "Erich's iPod" instead of mine. I thought this was strange so I clicked it, and all of my brothers library was replacing mine on my iPod! I unplugged my iPod and checked it. It still had the name I had given it, but iTunes had it all mixed up. Is there anything I can do to make sure only my library is uploaded onto my iPod when i plug it in, and make sure that my iPod is recognized instead of my brother's?

  • 3rd generation iPod Touch not recognized by Mac & iTunes!

    My 3rd generation ipod touch is not recognized on iTunes but is recognized when I plug it into a different computer. I've tried reinstalling iTunes numerous times and have referred to other online tutorials. With no success, my iPod will still not show up on my Macbook, and I've never experienced a problem like this before with either device. My mac and itunes still recognize my iPhone so I don't know why they would recognize one device but no the other. Solutions?
    Any feedback will help greatly. Thanks.

    It should work fine.  I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
    If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.

  • First generation iPod not recognized by iTunes

    I recently acquired a first generation iPod, (2001), which appears to be in excellent condition. It has a few dozen songs on it and it played them for over 4 hours before I stopped it with the battery icon still showing 3 bars. My problem is I can't get it to be recognized by iTunes. I tried it first with my current intel iMac and the finder wouldn't even show it although disk utility did. I then tried it on a 10 year old iMac G5 running OS 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3. itunes still won't recognize it but it shows up in the finder as an iPod icon with a firewire icon and the ipod also shows the same when connected to the computer. I think this means that it is in disk mode but I can't get out of it. I've tried every step in the Apple suggestions to no avail. I really want to put my own music on this iPod but obviously can't do anything until I can get iTunes to recognize it.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • My computer running Windows 8.1 no longer recognizes my 7th Generation Ipod Nano.  I have removed and reinstalled the latest ITunes software and it still doesn't recognize my Ipod.

    I previously installed my Ipod Nano 7th generation in Itunes, Windows 8.1.  When I have recently connected, Itunes does not recognize it.  I removed and reinstalled the latest Itunes software, but no success.  Message says that Itunes sees an Ipod is connected, but does not recognize it.  The USB connection is working fine, as I recharged the Ipod without problem.

    Hello Lynn,

  • Recently downloaded new ITunes.  Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Help????

    Recently downloaded new iTunes.  Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
    If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
