Computer wont recognize my new ipod

my last 30gb got stolen so today i went out and bought a new 80gb. i install the new itunes 7 and it doesnt recognize my ipod, the new hardware thing pops up and asks me to enter a cd but the new ipods software is in itunes 7 i guess? i have no clue what to do. please help...thank you

yes ok then.... downlaod a prgram called ipod wizard from www.ipodwizard.net
the only thing this program will do is tell you wether your ipod is actaully on your computer.
If it shows up there... try uninstalling iTunes 7 and then put an older version (6) back on. Then try to sync ure ipod.

Itunes wont recognize my new ipod touch

I just bought an ipod touch and when i connect it to my pc, auto pop up recognized it as Apple Ipod but as a camera. When i go to My Computer, i see a camera icon next to APPLE IPOD. iTunes does not appear when the ipod is connected and when i do open itunes the ipod dont appear on the left.

I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

Computer won't recognize my new ipod

I just got the fifth gen ipod and I am trying transfer my music from my old ipod and the computer won't recognize my new ipod.

I have just been through this world of pain. dont bother re-installing itunes, or trawling through device drivers.
Instead, make sure you turn off bluetooth and wireless. Unplug your network cable from the pc (assuming you have a LAN connection).
Try plugging in the touch and it should be recognised straight away.

3rd Generation ipod -computer wont support a newer itunes version.....

okay, I am having serious issues! back in July I accepted an update on my ipod and when I did that, it told me that I needed a newer version of itunes, I tried to download it but i got a message that said "iphone and ipod require windows xpservice Pack 2 or later"... i have an old computer, can't get a new one right now & so getting a newer version of ituens seems impossible with my current system....my question is when I connect my ipod it says "The ipod "..." cannot be used because it requires itunes version 7.6 or later.... got to ... etc"... my computer wont support the newer itunes version so is there a way that I can reset the ipod (back to how it was when I purchased it) to where I am still able to use it with the current itunes version that I have on my computer???
(i tried to go to a friend's computer & we goofed & the sync only downloaded the songs that I purchased; (i know-duh) so I've lost over 800 tunes,,, (that are still in my library on my computer but I can't sync it because of the trouble i described above...)
am i making sense?
Can anyone help me? please?? I would forever be indebted to you!
Highest of Blessings...

Why not go to www.microsoft.com and install Service Pack 3 on your computer and then download and install the latest iTunes?

I can't get Window's Media Player to recognize my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution/, I can't get Window's Media Player to recognize my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution?

I can't get Window's Media Player to "recognize" my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution? When I pull the ipod shuffle up in Devices and Printers, it says it needs Troubleshooting, but the Troubleshooting provides no solution.

Windows Media Player? As far as I know, that won't work. You need to install iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
That will install the software you need to use your shuffle with your computer.

My comp won't recognize my new ipod.

I just got a new ipod. I had an old one but it broke, now I'm trying to put all the music that was on the old one on the new one but I plug the ipod in and nothing happens. How can I make it recognize the new ipod?

Did you install the iPod software so you could use it on a Windows computer?
Download and install the iPod updater to your computer. Restart your computer. Connect the iPod when told, and follow the set up procedure.
After that, you should see the iPod recognized in iTunes and you can then start transferring songs.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

Hold down the mouse button or trackpad clicker as you start up.
If no joy, restart and hold the Option key. This brings up the Startup Manager, which will draw an Icon for each bootable Volume. When all are drawn, the Eject key is "live".

Will it charge when connected to a wall outlet? The USB port on your computer must be 2.0
