Computer or itunes doesnt recognize

my computer or itunes won't recognize my ipod
ipod says: go to apple.com/support/ipod

I got my computer and iTunes to recognize my iPod by disconnecting my printer that was connected to an adjacent USB port. I don't know why this worked but it did. Originally I was using the USB port on the front of my computer tower but no success. Then I connected to the USB port in the back and it worked for a few minutes. I was stumped. Then I read in one of the support discussions about disconnecting all devices from the USB ports. It works for now. I can't figure out why.

Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

Trying to activate a second iphone and itunes doesnt recognize

I am trying to activate a second iphone, and itunes doesnt recognize that it is plugged in. This is also the case with my other iphone and my itouch. Tried restarting everything and also tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, nothing has worked. Is there a way to fix this or another way to activate the phone?

Try activating it on a different computer, and using a different dock connector to USB cable if possible.
If that doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem. Take it to your Apple Store for testing.

I tried like 3 times to uninstall and reinstall iTunes but with no success. What I need to do to make it work with MY laptop. I made a little video to us to understand the problem.
Thank you

Can your girlfriends computer see your itunes over the network, will hers stream music from yours?
Can your itunes see the internet and visit the store?
Check your iTunes prefs to see it it is set to look for appletv's
If iTunes cant see the internet or your girlfriends itunes it may be a firewall issue

Help! the screen stays white and itunes doesnt recognize!

okay so this has never happened before, and i am really freaking out. so i was putting new videos in my ipod and then shut down my computer. i unplugged my ipod (no discontect button on) and and went upstairs to play my ipod on my speaker. i come back later and take it off my speaker, but the screen turned white and the light stayed on. i left it alone, and now it is still like that. the light has not gone off (but my light is always on because i set it like that) and the screen is white. itunes doesnt recognize it but my computer still makes that sound whenever i plug/unplug my ipod. can you tell me whats wrong and how to fix it?

i would re-boot the computers and ipod (hold the center button then put it on then off hold) and hook it up, if needed re-download itunes. Dont worry its happened before. Also make sure you have the newest ipod versions on the ipod 1.1.1 that should fix it. Also if you have the new version then re install it on you ipod. If not then call apple support

A REPEATING CYCLE now i have No PHONE!!!! Help ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Try it...
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
i´ve done it and worked 100%
Good lucky

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

*last chance and I'm backing away sloooowly*
thanks to ANYONE who will suggest ANYTHING at all!!!

Itunes doesnt recognize my iphone 3gs after i upgraded to ios4.1

itunes doesnt recognize my iphone 3gs after i upgraded to ios4.1

When did you upgrade to 4.1? 4.1 is no longer signed by Apple. It's no longer possible to (legitimately) install 4.1.
