Can't get my 3rd gen to be recognized by itunes

My son disconnected my ipod during charging to charge his without ejecting mine. Itunes suggested I restore when it would not connect properly. I did and now it says Ipod is corrupted need to restore. I do that and it says unknown error #1418. In the meantime I downloaded new version of itunes, as was suggested. My son's 2nd gen still updates & works ok, but my 3rd gen doesn't. Have seen lots of comments about new download causing problems, but tend to think this is all because of my son (who I would now like to kill!!!) Any suggestions?

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable       
- 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.

  • HT1923 I had Windows 7 and Itunes recognized my Ipod Touch with no issues.  Now that I've upgraded to Windows 8 I can't get my Ipod Touch to be recognized by Itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I can't seem to get my Ipod touch to be recognized by Itunes now that I'm using my new upgraded Windows 8 Pro.  Has anyone else experienced this problem and do you have a solution?
    Thanks.

  • How can I get my 3rd gen IPOD Touch w/OS 6 to print to my AirPrint enabled Canon MX432 printer?

    I can't print from my IPOD Touch to my Canon 432 AirPrint enabled printer. Printer is wireless and works well with 2 desk top computers. Printer can be seen by my wife's IPhone.  IPod OS is 6.0. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm assuming OS upgrades have disabled AirPrint functions.

    Have you tried the troubleshooting included here:
    iOS: AirPrint 101
    Are you sue you have a 3G (no cameras) iPod with iOS 6? A 3G can only go to 5.1.1 unless jailbroken. Jailbreaking frequently causes problems

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen isn't recognized by ITunes.

    So I bought my 3g today and everything was working lovely. Later though, I open up ITunes. ITunes decided that It wanted to act like this was the first time it had ever been used. So it shows me the 'welcome to ITunes' setup window. I go through through that ordeal but then I notice my ipod isn't showing up in the sidebar. So I go through troubleshooting and the 5 R's thing to no avail. So i reinstall ITunes expecting a fix. Since I'm posting here you could guess I still have the problem.
    Things I Know:
    My Ipod is charging, it has the green battery symbol.
    Anytime it's plugged in it shows the 'scanner and camera wizard instantly, even though there are no pictures to copy over.
    I tried plugging in my sister's 1st gen touch and got the same results.
    Any help would be appreciated guys, I'd prefer not to have to return this thing.

  • 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.

  • I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.

    I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.  I can prompt itunes, sync, and add/delete songs, but not charge.  I've tried to restore but that didn't work.  Advice?

    Without telling us what computer models and OS versions, as well as how you're trying to update, not much help can be given.  It has nothing to do with the number of computers you have. 
    This question should be posted in the iTunes forum, not the iPhone.

  • Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Be sure to first sync and backup your iPod Touch with iTunes. Then just sync your iPad with iTunes to transfer everything to the iPad. Be sure you are using the same Apple ID. You will now have two devices synced with iTunes on your computer.

    Hey there JeanMontreal,
    It sounds like your iPod Nano 3rd generation is not being seen in iTunes when you connect it. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that issue resolved:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • HT4352 How can I get Home Sharing turned on my Apple TV if I have lost my remote control and my remote apps on my ipad and iphone can not get access to my apple tv, only my itunes.

    You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

  • I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

  • How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes?  The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

    How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes?  The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

    It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
    If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
    Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • My computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library?

    my computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone 3g is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library without losing everything? How do I delete old audiobooks from my iphone?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
