  • I lost my apps after changing my operating system. iTunes no longer recognized my iPod Touch. Will I ever get my apps back or be able to sync ANYTHING ever again?

    When we went from Vista to Windows 7 and tried to sync the iPod Touch - I lost my apps. Can these be recovered somehow?

    Follow these instructions in the link..It worked for me as I used the same account to log in and to download apps.If you had purchased apps earlier, your purchase history willbe available in account history. So there is nothing to worry about. You'll not have to pay for ur apps again if you have bought it earlier. Plus,you'll have to authorize your pc if itunes does not recognize ur device. Go to 'store->authorize this pc' in itunes.

  • After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    Okay, update on my previous message:
    I have replaced my iTunes-folder with a back-up version of the old one. Luckily this turned my podcasts back to normal and replaced the new 'library' with the old one.
    This also solved the problem of having to erase your iPod or iPhone, which is no longer necessary.
    So my solution is:
    1. back-up your iTunes folder (located at 'User/Music/iTunes/')
    2. remove iTunes 9.0.3 completely (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
    3. drag the iTunes folder back to the Music folder
    4. Re-install iTunes 9.0.3.
    It worked for me.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    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 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.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks, my computer no longer recognizes my ipod.

    After upgrading to Mavericks, my computer no longer recognizes my ipod. Screen lights up when it's plugged in, but it doesn't get to the "connected" state and it doesn't show up on my computer, in the /Volumes folder or in iTunes. This has only started happening after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    I should also note, that I have restarted my computer and ipod multiple times and have attempted restarting the SMC on my mac, as per
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    all with no luck.
    Also, I have updated to the most recent version of iTunes and have checked that the USB ports are being read correctly through the System Profiler. I have also plugged the ipod into the same ports that worked with my keyboard and mouse, with no different results.

  • Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

    Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4  and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones.  What do i do?  Should i uninstall new update?  and how?

    I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

    Hi Moclam12,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPod classic is formatted for Windows, and you want to sync it with your Mac, try to force the iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it using your Mac.

  • After changing disc drive letter iTunes no longer recognizes Cd's

    I changed my disc drive letter from G to A, & now iTunes no longer recognizes Cd's but when I change it back to G, iTunes recognizes Cd's again.
    I've done a full reinstall of all apple software components but still won't recognize disc drive set to drive letter A even after reinstalling iTunes with drive set to letter A.
    I've looked at all the help documents & nothing relates to this particular scenario.

    I've done a full reinstall of all apple software components but still won't recognize disc drive set to drive letter A even after reinstalling iTunes with drive set to letter A.
    Traditionally, in Windows, the A drive letter has been reserved as one of the two floppy drive letters (It's actually the letter reserved for the boot floppy ... which is why most floppy drives on relatively-modern-machines-that-still-have-a-floppy-drive are B drives, since the C hard drive is usually the boot drive.)
    So I'm not surprised you're getting erratic sorts of behavior from a A:\ drive that isn't a floppy. If you need to change your optical drive letter, try perhaps an H or higher letter.

  • ITunes no longer recognises my iPod

    when i connect my iPod to my laptop with the USB cable, my iPod displays the charging screen, but iTunes doesn't put my iPod onto the "Devices" list, so i cannot sync my music. There is a connection between my laptop and iPod, but not between my iTunes and iPod. I would appreciate any help to solve this problem. Thank you.

    I just had an interesting experience!!!
    I looked in the root of the Ipod and found a file called "BOOTEX.LOG" which was created at some time when apparently my windows tried to check the ipod as a disk volume, like below:
    Checking file system on F:
    The type of the file system is FAT32.
    One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
    may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
    that you continue.
    Windows will now check the disk.

    I removed the files

    PCST.mp3 as well as
    the bad directory \iPod_Control\Music\F05
    the file "bootex.log" as shwon above and then... My Ipod was recognised after more than one year of being out!
    Hope this helps well for others too!

  • ITunes no longer reading my iPod

    This is my first post, so please tell me if this should go in another forum.
    Anway, out of the blue today, iTunes can no longer read my iPod. I've looked around the web for similar complaints, but haven't come across a solution. I did see that a recent iTunes update caused quite a few problems, but I hadn't had any until today. Should I uninstall iTunes and try downloading and installing it again? If I did that, and it worked, would the music on my iPod show up, or would it try to wipe it clean? I've got a LOT of songs on it and don't won't to risk having it erased. Thanks in advance.
