Computer and itunes not recognizing!

Okay, I got my Ipod Nano this past christmas, and has worked up until now. Every time i plug it into the port, my ipod goes back and forth from, "Connected" to "Ok to disconnect" all on its own! Every now and then i'll get this message saying "Itunes has detected an Ipod that appears to be corrupted.* You may need to restore your Ipod before it can be used with Itunes."
I cant possibly restore my Ipod because the window that shows my information on this Ipod isnt coming up....I've tried the 5 R's and im still having trouble.
*and it cant be corrupted b/c i just got it 3 months ago!

Ever since I have updated iTunes to Version 8.1 my iPod will not sync. It comes up with an error message and closes down. I have been to the Apple Store who restored my iPod so it was empty and said that would work... it didn't. I went back and they gave me a new iPod and said that would work... I was telling them that it wasn't the iPod it was the new version of iTunes. I now have a new, EMPTY iPod that I can't use and Apple do not seem to be doing anything about this issue. I have written to Apple and have still received no help... Can anyone help...
I have uninstalled, installed iTunes lots of times, changed the USB port etc. etc. Even tried to load an old version of iTunes...!!!
HELP!!! Very frustrated....

What will i do with my ipad stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.

what will i do with my ipad 2 ios 5.0.1 stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.

if that dose not work then you can always put it into DFU mode by connecting to your computer and holding down the home button and sleep/wake button for excatly 10 seconds and then relesing the sleep/wake button and keep holding down the homebutton till iTunes tells you it has detected an iPad in recovery mode then just do a restore

Windows and itune not recognizing my ipod shuffle

i got ipod shuffle 2 weeks before .it was working for 2 days. after that i got no response frm other day.now my windows and itune is not showing my ipod and when i connect it to my system orange light blink for three times and then stops.
please do help me...

I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and
troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and
the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass
storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with
an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The
orange lights up while charging and when I plug in
the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
IF the GREEN LED stays lit continuously, SOMETHING is seriously wrong with the Shuffle! READ the following
article, "Understanding iPod shuffles status lights", especially the part on " Using iPod shuffle to play music"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300553
iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my
friend said it should)
I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and
had the same problem. I just got this for my son for
Christmas and needless to say he's a bit
disappointed.
Did I buy a lemon?
Perhaps...but they're Not ALL lemons by any means.
Please help!!!

Windows 7 x64 bit and iTunes not recognizing iPhone 3GS

Hello,
I'm sorry to bring this up again and I know the community has seen it a million times but I'm definately needing someone to point me in the right direction. I have an Acer 5552 Laptop with Windows 7 x64 bit. It does not have the Intel P55 chipset as what I have read before in these discussions, so updating the BIOS will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes x64 bit, removed and reinstalled the drivers and Apple Mobile Support software (which should do it by removing iTunes as a whole) and whenever I hook my iPhone to my laptop for a second sync it takes a long time to back up and then it gives an error, then when i try to connect it again iTunes says that the iPhone cannot be recognized and needs to be restored. I have done this 3 times in the past 2 months. This is a brand new laptop that I have. There should be no reason for this to happen unless I'm missing something. Is there any workaround to this? for the time being I'm syncing everything on an old, slow desktop that has Windows XP. It's worked with my old laptop which had XP on it great but sadly I gave my old laptop to my dad which he now uses to sync his iPhone with now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..also if anyone has the same laptop model I have and have Windows 7 x64 on it..please let me know what you did if you got your 3GS to sync all the time with no problems.
Thank you very much.

4 days and no response...really??

Ipod plugged in with light turned on, but computer and itunes not seeing it

I got this ipod as a gift and when I first plugged it in, it worked fine and I put my music on it.
I went to do it again the other day and it does not show up on my computer or in my itunes.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes multiple times and i've gone through the steps of the help pages on itunes.
Today, it did pop up and said it was going to reset it and then it would restart it automatically when it was done, but it still did not show up on itunes!
Help!!!

Thank you all very much for the advice!! I really appreciate it... it helped me figure out how to open up the files.
I swear I think they make these harder and harder just so we spend more and more money just to get useless software and technology....UGH!!!
I was sweating bullets, I had video on my phone that is part of a civil case for me. Without it, I was pretty much screwed.
I'm just happy I have it now!!!
Thank you all again very much!!! I'm thankful these boards exist....
Trblncolo

Corrupt file and iTunes not recognizing

Okay. This is going to be long. My friend wanted me to put some songs on her iPod Nano (1 GB first generation). I did it once before and everything worked perfectly, but this time, I was uploading songs onto it, and all of a sudden there's this 'Uknown error' message. Then iTunes disconnects it. I reconnected it, and it wouldn't let any songs be put onto it and all the songs were erased. I tried to restore it (And as far as I know I have the latest version of iTunes), and after I did that, iTunes doesn't even recognize it anymore, and in the bottom right corner of my toolbar on my computer it says That my iTunes and Music folder on the ipod is corrupted and that I should use the Chkdsk thing. I used it, and nothing happened. I'm really confused now. Anyone else run into this kind of thing?

It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

Ipod updater 6-28 will cause your computer and itunes not to recognize Nano

Updated my new nano, and wha-la, it did not work. Tried the 5 useless R's. What type of updater is this?!! So beta.
THe following worked and I got the information from a posting by Casper.
Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management
Under storage, select disk management
Find the iPod volume and right-click on it
Select format
Set the format to FAT32, and leave all the other settings on the default
Make sure "quick format" is not selected
Start the format.
When the format completes, you should be able to restore with the iPod updater of your choice.
Windows XP

You do have to be patient with the above procedure, could also try, using hp usb tool do a search on the forum for that method, there is also a dos method though not tryed it, though be careful here you dont want to format the wrong thing. Here are the instructions though They are alittle vague
1) Put the nano into disk mode
2) Connect the nano to the computer
3) start > run > cmd to get to DOS
4) Once in DOCs, I typed format <drive name>
5) As stated above, I used FAT32.
6) Rebooted computer.
7) Run the updater. The nano was recognizable now
8) Restore nano using the updater. This put 1.2 on there successfully.
9) Ran iTunes, and synched all my music again

How do I unlock ipod when it is not being recognized by computer and itunes

How do I unlock ipod when it is not being recognized by computer and itunes?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Did you try using another usb port? my hardrive has two maybe yours does. And if you have a game console, some of those have usb ports so plug your ipod in there and see if that reconizes it.
