After an update, my touch is no longer recognized by iTunes or USB input on car stereo

Formerly I was able to connect my touch to both iTunes (Windows) and through USB on my car stereo (Kenwood). After updating the touch's IOS I cannot connect to either. I am able to connect to the car stereo through blue tooth. I did open an iCloud account for the touch but I doubt that is a factor. I have tried turning the unit completely off and that does not help. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it making certain I used the 64-bit version. It is still not recognized. Any ideas on what to try next?

As it turns out, this was a hardware failure. One of the pins on the bottom connector was bent and caused the problem. What burns me is the problem initially showed itself after updating to ios 5.0.1. I tried a reset over the weekend (including deleletion of my entire music collection) to no avail. I took it in to the local Apple store today and they essentially turned it into a paper weight. After putting it into recovery mode the unit would no longer turn on at all. Unfortunately they wouldn't replace the unit for free because it was 11 days out of warranty. I could have lived with the Touch with all my music on it, but it was worthless after the music was deleted. I feel like they should have replaced it for free. I was planning on upgrading to the next iPhone but this has shaken my confidence (as well as irritating the living **** out of me).
To be fair, Apple did replace the player at a reduced rate. That was better than nothing.

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes

Hello all,
I have to update iTunes to version 8.0.1 to new version 8.0.2. Then, I restart the computer and my iPod Touch (firmeware 2.1, none-jailbreaked) is no longer detected by iTunes, unfortunately
It's detected by Windows as a camera (normal, because screenshots) but iTunes doesn't respond to its connection to the computer. It isn't detected by Windows like an iPod Device, just detected like a Apple iPod camera.
I ... reinstalled iTunes after uninstall it, restart the computer, restarted the iPod, yet restarted the computer, removed the iPod detected as camera, reattached (redetected as camera), deleting old registry values, restarted, change USB port ... nothing done!
Please to help me !
PS : Excuse me for english because French is my mother language.

Salut, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!

Ipod Touch Apps No Longer Recognized in iTunes

I have a 32GB 2nd generation iPod Touch and have been adding applications to it from the iTunes Store through my MacBopok Pro now for many months with no problems. However, after I upgraded to Leopard OS the iTunes program no longer sees any of the applications on my iPod Touch and if I try to sync the two iTunes tells me I will lose all the applications and related information on the iPod Touch. Any suggestions as to how and get the iPod Touch applications back into iTunes so I can start syncing again? I have tried to reinstall iTunes as suggested on another forum, but it made no difference. Thanks for the help.

Since you upgraded your OS, make sure iTunes recognizes your computer as "Authorized". If you have to, deauthorize it and then reauthorize it.
Since you own the apps, you can download them again in iTunes. You will get a message from itunes telling you that you have "already purchased this, do you want to download again". Just check yes.

Thank you, Rod!
While researching frame rate I came across this helpful blog posting: Crazy about Captivate: Lessons Learned: Video and Resolution in Adobe Captivate
This is the line that caught my attention: "I discovered, after several experiments, that if you publish a course in Captivate as SCALABLE with a video inserted, no matter what the resolution, it makes the video look pixelated."
When I unclick the "scalable HTML content" button before publishing, the video is fine!
Big sigh of relief! Now I just need to figure out why audio won't play on one of the slides (it has an accordian widget, if that's relevant) and why I can no longer use Effects (I get the message, "Effect file is not valid")

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

Ipod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by Itunes

pod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by iTunes
Today have been the problem that my ipod touch 4G is no longer recognized by itunes. He'll appear in My Computer as a DigitalCamera etc, but not in itunes. I've already uninstalled Itunes + Ipod rebooted and then installed it to try a different USB port + different USB cables, all useless. No jailbreak.
Got it now put into DFU mode and restore to read, unfortunately it is still not recognized by my PC but only on the laptop so I must go to my mum´s Laptop and everything transferred from there again ... pity me here is displayed only when the restore Ipods "Can not restore: errorcode 21" or something like that.

I've now uninstalled the USB device driver but now my iPod listed as a "portable device" and no longer listed under Apple MobileDevice

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.
