Connecting ipod 4G on windows 7

I've got a new computer, running on windows 7, 64 bit.
I can download a version of Itunes for 64 bit, but it doesn't recognize my Ipod ... I've tried re-installing Itunes a few times, but it won't work!
Is there anyone who can help me please??!

iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

Problems connecting iPod touch to windows vista ad-hoc connection

Hi,
This problem has been troubling me since i got my iPod Touch(2nd Gen)
I do not have a wi-fi router,rather i make a ad-hoc connection on my laptop(vista) and share the internet with this wireless ad-hoc connection. I then turn on the wifi on my ipod, which obidiently detects the ad-hoc connection, and after entering the password(WEP) connects to the network(i even get that signal bar indicator on the ipod). But when i try to open a website,it says "Safari cannot open the webpage as it is not connected to the internet". This is really frustrating. I've searched like a zillion places but not able to find the solution to the problem.
All the setting are automatic(DHCP) which includes my wired internet, my wireless network and my ipod settings.
Plz help guyz.
Thanks,
Aditya

Connecting iPod Shuffle to Windows Vista RTM

Dear all, I'm having problems connection my great iPod Shuffle to my newly installed Windows Vista RTM.
When I connect the iPod it's is shown as a Device. But I cannot copy any files to the device. It "hangs" for a few minutes before it stops with an error message. "Could not actualize to device. Unknown Error (-50).
Any ideas what this could be? Or is iTunes just NOT "Vista Ready" yet?
Thanks
Simon

1) Check and see if it will sync under XP compatibility mode (right click the program, not the shortcut> click properties, there will be a compatibility tab). A popup may nag you about changing the compatibility, just ignore it for the time being.
2) Check your USB hardware drivers to have them up to date. Vista is one of the weirdest OS's I've been around lately that uses older (read: not native or "updated") drivers and messes up on them...
3) The iPod service might be misbehaving. You can restart it by going to start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click restart service.
4) NT OS's (including Vista) tend to be "closed oriented" on bidirectional hardware access, so make sure you can connect to other devices as well.
So much for the rumored iTunes update with the "colored" shuffles... I guess that's for later...

Connecting Ipod Shuffle to windows

I give. When I try to connect my Ipod shuffle 2nd gen. to my computer (dell running windows xp) it shuts down and re-boots the computer every time. I charged the Shuffle off line with a 120V plug in charger that didn't help. Other devices I.E. thumb drives work in the USB's without a problem. Two USB ports and I tried both. I also have a Video Ipod that works fine. Can anyone help?

Are you getting any sort of blue screen just prior to the PC rebooting? If so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x\[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file (for example, “ati3duag.dll”), let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)
Here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
If you're not seeing a blue screen (or if you’re just seeing a flash of a blue screen before the PC reboots), we can use the following technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
With those settings in place, does a blue screen appear before the PC reboots?

Is it better to connect iPod to a windows machine at the very first time?

I've a Macbook and a Desktop PC. I just bought an iPod few days ago and expecting to recieve it pretty soon. Because I heard that a Mac formated iPod would not work on windows' machines, but otherwise works. So should I conncet my new iPod to the PC first??? if I want to use it on both systems later.
Thanks

Your information is correct, an iPod formatted for Mac won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. If you want to use it on both platforms then connect it to your PC first so that it gets Windows formatted. Just remember though that you'll need to do any software updates or restores on the PC as well to maintain the formatting. Updating or restoring on the Mac will change it. Just a bit of additional information, there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows. This is one for instance will let you connect you Mac iPod to a PC and also copy non iTMS songs from the iPod to the PC: XPlay 2

Connecting iPod mini to Windows PC

Pretty sure the iPod was originally formatted on Mac. When I plug it in to my Windows PC, I get a message that it isn't recognized and must be formatted. Don't have the music on a hard drive because the only MAC I have access to is an old iBook with an old OS. Is there any way to get the music off the iPod without an OS upgrade?

How have you been using the iPod up until now? Were you putting music on it on a Mac or on Windows?
Since a Windows computer cannot recognize a Mac formatted iPod without the use of some 3rd party software, you're a little stuck here.

Connecting IPOD Nano to Windows ME machine

Can anyone tell me how to make the new IPOD nano that my Mother got for Christmas work with their Windows ME machine.
Windows ME will not download Itunes. Isn't there some other way to get music onto the Nano.
They tried to get help from a dealer but he told them they were out of luck.
They don't live near me and I am doing all my troubleshooting by phone.
If there is another program that they could use that is simple to install on their machine that would be great.
Thanks for the help.

iTunes for Windows was first introduced for Windows 2000 so there isn't a version that works natively with either 98 or ME. You could have a look at XPlay, Anapod or Ephpod which will work with Windows 98/ME. However XPlay and Anapod are commercial programs so you might consider it worth the extra expense to upgrade to XP (which you may find at a discount price now that Vista is out) if the computer will run it. You also need to check that those programs will work with the latest iPods which have had changes made to the software. Staying with 98/ME, you may also require drivers, there is a link in the Anapod page to suitable iPod/USB drivers:
XPlay 2
Anapod Explorer Windows 98/ME Support
EphPod

Make sure to check your internet settings or the settings on your wi-fi server (if accessible). You may also want to make sure that your not in a place where wi-fi is obtructed.(concrete walls other machines, etc.)

Cant connect ipod to itunes. What should i do?, Cant connect ipod to itunes. What should i do?

I tried to connect ipod tocuh to windows xp laptop but cant get it to be recognized by itunes and it has problems connecting to the computer itself.it can connect to the other laptop though.

Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
Are these requirements met ?
Is the PC virus-free ?
is XP at SP3 ?
Has it any other issues with USB hardware in general ?

Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

My ipod shuffle 4th doesn't connect to itunes or windows, what can I do?

hello,
it's been like 2 weeks since I did the update of itunes and everything to get my ipod shuffle 4th generation, and also did all the troubleshooting from the apple page, and nothing happens. It doesn't connect to itunes or windows.
anyone of you have the same problem or know how to solve it??
thx a lot!!

I'm having the same problem, my brand new Ipod shuffle isn't recognized by my pc, or Itunes. I have tried everything suggested in troubleshooting. Did I just waste $50 on something that doesn't work? I'm afraid if I send the Ipod back for another one I will have the same problem. Any suggestions ?

My iPod will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download

My iPOD will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download
I already uninstall itunes and made sure there were no file left before I installed again (it didn't appear to be any files left but music I had on it before was still there when I reinstall it)
My ipod does work on my old computer and it was working on windows 8 before I update to 8.1
I don't want to installed again because I just did that and didn't work!

Just started having problem connecting ipod to windows xp

I have a ipod video 5th gen. Bought it about a month ago and has worked fine. I was able to charge and sync with itunes with no prob. Just recently when i connect the ipod with my usb cable, it comes up with an error saying "the usb device attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows dosent reconingze it". Now I cant can't sync with itunes, charge, nor does it show up in my computer. No changes have been made to my PC except for regular windows updates. Anyone have an answer or work around?

Connecting ipod to new mac book os x from dell windows xp....

Hey, I just bought a new mac book yesterday and finally made the conversion over to apple. I have roughly 6000 songs on my ipod and definetly do not want to lose them. If i plug in my ipod to my new mac book, will I lose all my songs or will they just upload into itunes? If i will lose all my songs, how can I get those 6000 songs onto my new computer without losing them?

1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
YamiPod Mac & Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Floola Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
