Computer Will Not Recognize IPOD

I've checked all the halp topics and discussion boards but nothing has helped. The USB ports are all 2.0 and when connecting the IPOD I get the same error message. At the top of the message box it reads: Memory Card Manager. Inside the box reads: "failed to locate supported file types or there are no photos found on this device." I updated windows and was finally able to download ITunes7, but I still can't copy my shared songs onto my IPOD. I'm sure it has comething to do with the error message--please help!

Toggle the hold button, push it to hold then back again. Then try holding down the middle circle and menu buttons at the same time, for about 6-10 sec. This worked for me about 5 min. ago.

  • TRIED EVERYTHING!!! computer will not recognize IPOD and no charging

    Tried changing cords; tried reinstalling all software; tried to determine if conflicting software; ran ipod out of power and my computer still will not recognize when I plug it in. Backlight initially lights up but ipod does not show up in device manager, itunes does not recognize it and ipod will not charge---ipod will charge on Bose speaker platform though....ANY SUGGESTIONS??????

    If none of the above help, then it may be an issue that requires service so why not take advantage of the warranty?
    You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

  • Itunes and Apple computer will not recognize ipod nano. What do I do?

    I have an ipod nano that I bought last year. It has worked fine. Over the last couple weeks, although charging, my computer will not show it in itunes nor recognize it in the finder. I tried placing my usb cord with my Nano on my girlfriends computer and it showed up there but will still not show up on mine. Any answers?

    Hmm.. I just checked again trying to put my Nano onto my girlfriends G5. It actually doesn't always show up. At first it didn't and then as I fiddled around with the setting (not changing anything generally) it came on. Hmm.... And then before I could look at it in itunes it went off. Said "Device Removal blah blah blah". Hmm... Then I couldn't get it on again. itunes actually wasn't responding and the ball kept spinning. Then I restarted itunes but it wouldn't come on. I tried the finder but that began to spin too and didn't stop. Even iCal wouldn't come on. So I restarted the computer.

  • IPOD Touch only shows apple logo and computer will not recognize IPOD in iTunes or on my Mac.  Cannot restore.

    My IPOD Touch 3G is frozen on the apple logo.  It will allow me to reset it.  The computer no longer will recognize it.  I have tried on several Macs and it seems as though the problem is with the IPOD and not the computer since none of my MACs will recognize it.

    You can try to put it on Recovery mode then restore it..
    Press or Hold the power and home keys 10 seconds.
    Screen goes black, now release the power button
    Make sure you do not release the Home key until
    your iTunes says "We have detected an itouch
    in recovery mode."
    After this its simple all you
    got to do is a simple restore using your iTunes

  • Itunes and computer will not recognize ipod

    I am trying to connect and sync my ipod nano 7Gen and keep getting this message "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again." I have done all of theseand also gone through all of the support steps to resolve with nothing.
    Does anyone have any suggestions??

    Hello Jenn,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano being recognized in iTunes.  You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps.  I found an article with some additional steps you can take for the error message "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again."
    I recommend reviewing the following article (you can skip any of the steps you have already taken):

  • My computer will not recognize my Ipod

    I am having troublr with my Ipod it will not hold a charge and my computer will not recognize it how can I fix it

    Are you using the same cable that was bundled with the iPod?
    it will not hold a charge
    How old is the iPod?  All iPod batteries will dimish overtime and lose their ability to hold a charge at full capacity?
    Does the iPod not charge when you have it connected to your PC?

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • My computer will not recognize my 3rd Gen iPod. What to do?

    This just started acting up today. I am able to plug in the ipod to the firewire cable and get it to charge but the computer will not recognize it. It does not show up in iTunes or on My Computer. I have updated iTunes, accessed the device manager to stop and start the ipod service program (as stated in a FAQ), i have restarted my computer. All of these have not solved my problem. Does anyone else have any suggestion? Has this happened to anyone else and if so, how did you fix it. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I would like to just reformat the ipod if I could but it will not be recognized by the computer at all. Any ideas?

  • Computer does not recognize iPod, despite troubleshooting

    I have had my iPod for around 7 months and it has worked perfectly until now.
    I was cleaning my computer of old files, and I think I might have accidently deleted a driver or something because now, even though the iPod charges when connected to the computer, the computer will not recognize it. I got a new USB cable, re-installed iTunes, and done every other troubleshooting tip that the Support page offers. However, when I try to re-install the actual iPod software, when it comes to the message "Please plug in your iPod so it can be configured..." the computer doesn't recognize my iPod is plugged in and I can't continue.
    Any Help would be appreciated.

    When re-installing the ipod software, have you tried resetting the ipod and re-connecting it, or putting it into disk mode to connect it?

  • My computer will not recognize my IPhone 4 after being updated

    I was updating my iphone and the screen changed to "plug into itunes" in the middle of it, but it was already plugged in. Now my computer will not recognize that my iphone is plugged in and it is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen. what should I do? It makes a sound when I plug it into my computer but not the same sound that it usually makes when I normally plug it in.

    Phone not recognised in itunes
    device not recognised by iTunes on PC  or  device not recognised by iTunes on Mac
    Some of those things which concern itunes also help with your problem.  In particular try rebooting the computer, try a different USB cable to attach the phone or try a different port
