After upgrading to 8.1 in windows, my ipod is not recognized in computer or itunes

I upgraded to Windows 8.1 a while back, and just tried to synch my ipod with itunes and now my ipod is not being recognized in my comuper or itunes. Does anyone know why this is and/or how to fix it?
Thanks!!
Amber

Hello Amber,
I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes. I found a couple of articles that might help with this.
If you don't see your iPod in the My Computer or Computer section of Windows, follow the steps in this article:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
If Windows recognizes your iPod but iTunes does not, follow the steps in this article:
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

After upgrade to Aperture 3 last year, combined albums are not recognized

On many events, I work with a second photographer who does his own editing of his raw images. To combine our work in the previous version of Aperture, I would import the other photographer's Aperture project, create Albums within my Aperture project and combine photos from the 2 projects (drop the photos from both projects into the Albums), re-order and edit them as needed.
With the upgrade to Aperture 3, I re-imported the Library/Projects, and the Albums appear but do not include the combined images from second project file? This would mean that I lost all of the hours spent re-ordering 8-10 events will need to be re-done for a final export.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and is there any way around having to re-do all of that work?

Liz,
when you view your first Library 1 with the combined album that appears to be empty, what is the number of items beside the album?
(to turn on the display of the number of items open the Aperture Preferences and enable "Show number of versions for projects and albums in the "Appearence" tab).
This will tell you, if the versions from your second project really are not included in the library or are only hidden.
Do you see your project from the second library when you click on the projects view button or is the second project missing entirely?
If the second project is there but looks empty, and if the album has more image versions than shown, then look at the search fields and check, if you have any filters set that hide the images. The search field in the Brower pane should show "Showing All", the search field in the Library Inspector should show "All items".
Are your master images referenced or managed? And if they are referenced, did you move your libraries/projects recently? Can it be that your images from the second project are not included in the first library beause they are referenced and on an external drive?
Regards
Léonie

i think your best bet is to uninstall itunes 9 & go back to whatever itunes you opened your phone with in the first place,& stick with that & also do a reset on your phone, ive heard so many problems with itunes9 that i'stick to itunes8,even though i keep getting messages to upgrade to 9. good luck.

recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
Help!

IPod is not recognized in ITunes after upgrade to 7.3.1

Please help. I upgraded ITunes to the 7.3.1 version and now my IPod is not recognized in my ITunes. The USB port is working since my IPod recharged when I plugged it into the computer. I uninstalled & then reinstalled ITunes, but, my IPod is still not recognized by ITunes or my computer. I cannot find it listed in "my computer" files.
Any suggestions as to what happened? Thanks.

Your post solved the same problem for me. Thank you so much! And thanks to JaketheSnake for starting this thread. iTunes used to start up automatically whenever I connected my iPod Touch, but a couple of months ago it quit doing that. I didn't think much of it as I just clicked on iTunes in the dock and opened it and went on my merry way. I just figured something in the last iTunes update changed it's behavior. But lately I noticed that my iPod Touch would be in the source list while it was syncing and then it would sometimes just disappear. I was too lazy to start a thread, I guess, because I just thought someone would tell me to "restore" my iPT and I had gotten used to my little "work arounds". But now it's fixed, thanks to both of you.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and note need about five minutes to start.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".

Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
So I found the solution here.
Thank you graphicsluc!!!

Hi,
After the upgrade, you will have to do the security upgrade.
Please follow these steps.
1. Go To SU25
2. Run step 2A to 2D.
3. In step 2C, you shall get the list of all the affected roles.
Click on first role. It will take you to authorizations of that role. Click on the "New" tab there to find the new objects added to the role after the upgrade.
Note: You can open the same role in the unupgraded system to check.
4. Provide the access to the required authorization objects.
5. Disable the unwanted authorization objects.
6. Generate the profile.
7. Follow the same steps for all the affected roles listed.
Please note that you will have a list of new objects added.You need to maintain them inorder to avoid any access issues.
8. After step 2C, complete 2D.
Regards,
Imran

Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade. I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
Are others having the same problems?

Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices
- do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
- turn on your router first
- ran the network set up wizard
- give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
Something which you don't have used before.
- turn on your Mac's and add your printer
- turn on your iDevices at least.
Should work after these steps.
It worked for me including all iDevices.

After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out

After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out. There is no function at all.

Ok I fixed the issue, turns out a couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a program that was suppose to help shrink some of your stuff to use less data, it was called Onavo. It was suppose to show you how much data you use to help keep you within your limits. If you have downloaded this, go through your settings and delete it and it will fix the problem. At least it did for me. I can now send photo's to non Iphone users via text no problem.

Can anyone help? My 30GB iPod is not recognized by windows.

"USB Device Not Recognized" is the error report I get each time I connect my iPod to my USB port. I tested my USB ports with other devices and they worked normally. Has anyone had similar issues? Can anything be done without sending my iPod in for repairs? Any advice shall be appreciated.
