Disabled ipod not recognized when plugged back in to itunes.

Daughter's disabled ipod (second time) is not recognized when we follow instructions to enable it and plug into itunes.

HT1808 is the article you need to follow. You need the section labeled "Placing the device into recovery mode."
You need to power the device off. Once the device is off press and hold the Home button or the button on the front of the device and while holding the Home button plug in the device and continue holding the home button until you see the image below.

    Are you using a Mac or PC?  If it's a PC, have you tried changing the iPod's drive letter or plugging the iPod into a different high powered USB 2.0 port?

  • IPad 1 disabled, not recognized when plugged in to any computer

    I have an iPad 1 and I've been trying to get this fixed for about 2 days. It gives this message "iPad is disabled, try again in 23 million minutes" and whenever i plug it in to any computer it says "USB device not recognized". I also tried DFU mode and it still does it. Is there ANY way to restore the iPad ON the device. Or is there any way to get it fixed?

    No, check this:
    Media you've bought from the iTunes Store or songs you've imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default. They won't be deleted by removing iTunes. Although it's highly unlikely that you'll lose any of your iTunes Library when following the steps below, first make sure that your iTunes library is backed up. See iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive for more information.

  • Computer says usb/device not recognized when plugged in??

    When I plug in my sons ipod nano 7th generation, just recently says usb/device not recognized and doesn't light up when plugged into the wall either??? Any suggestions??

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • Toshiba backup drive not recognized when plugged into thunderbolt display.

    My Toshiba backup drive does not mount to my MacBookPro when plugged into my Thunderbolt Display. It works beautifully when plugged directly into my MBP, and other USB devices work beautifully when plugged into the same USB ports on the Thunderbolt Display.
    All my equipment is pretty new. The Toshiba is currenlty configured to be my Time Machine back up drive.
    Laptop: 15" Macbook Pro, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 100 MHz DDR3, Mac OS 10.8.5
    Backup Drive: Toshiba 500GB Canvio® Basics USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive
    Apple Thunderbolt Display: 2560 x 1440, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics
    When I plug the backup drive into the TB Display, usually nothing happens. The blue light on the drive doesn't come on, and it doesn't mount to the desktop. If I wiggle the USB back there, sometimes the blue light will come on, and sometimes it will mount for a minute then go away. This is true for all 3 USB ports. I have not had problems with any other USB devices, but the only other ones I've plugged into the Thunderbolt are my keyboard, bluetooth headset charger, and other items that probably use less power than the backup drive.

    But the cable works when plugged into my laptop. Plus, the cable connection is pretty specific to the device; I'm not sure if you can buy another one seperately.

  • 3rd gen iPod not recognized when using Firewire

    The 3rd gen iPod only charges via FireWire. Given the lousy battery life provided by the device, I need to be able to sync using the Firewire port of my Macbook (Home) or my Macbook Pro (work). The device is not recognized by iTunes (or in general, no notices are given that would indicate that the device is connected). I have:
    - Restored the device via USB
    - Restored it to be Apple format (it was previously Windows format)
    - Confirmed that it DOES work with USB - but that's not what I want
    - Tried this on 2 laptops
    - Confirmed that charging via Firewire DOES work - so I'm assuming that the cable works as well
    Is there a diagnostic application that will tell me the status of the on-board firewire port?

    I luckily still had a PC around. I was able to reset it on the PC, then reformat on the Mac.

  • Buffalo Linkstation is not recognized when plugged directly into mac

    I recently received a Buffalo Linkstation and tried setting it up, when i got it all up and running, the lights come on, but it won't connect to my mac, it's connected via ethernet cable
    I do not have it plugged into a router and don't want to go get one, I have two wireless routers, but when i first used one for both the internet and the linkstation, it was too slow, and when i tried using one for the internet and one for the linkstation, they interfere with each other and defeat the purpose.
    I just want it to go from the hard drive to the mac, then when i get it all set up, i'll add a printer
    I know this defeats the purpose of the networking capability and that i should just go get an external hard drive, but I did have one and it stopped working, so i sent it in and got this.
    Any help whatsoever would be appreciated

    I've never seen one of these puppies but your question
    was intriguing so I looked at Bufflalo Technology's web
    site. They claim to have a built-in ftp server, and that
    sounds like how you're gonna connect. The first thing to
    do is figure out the linkstation's ip address. Hopefully the
    default will be listed in the manual, or maybe you set it
    in the setup process. Otherwise, you've got to search
    your network for port 21. If it gets its ip address via DHCP,
    you need a DHCP server in the mix. I bet your wireless
    router has one, and you could use it to get you going.
    Once you have the ip address, you can mount the device
    in the Finder using Command-K and entering
    ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address.
    Good luck!

  • Ipod not recognized in Windows and locks up iTunes

    When I connect my ipod to my pc with itunes open it does not recognize it as an ipod most times, other times it says that it needs to be reformatted to windows. Then it usually locks up itunes. If I connect the ipod first, windows thinks its a removable usb storage device not an ipod. Then if I try and start itunes after it is connected, itunes does not come up on the screen but the process is running in task manager.
    I have hooked the ipod up to other pcs with no issues. I have tried the 5 R's and have gone as far as to reformat my pc and load itunes first. Still the same problems! I have talked to support and they were also unable to help.
    Only twice has it every connected and been recognized, initially after the reimage and the very first time, but that its.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    Happened to me. Read through this fully before you try any of it.
    What i did was go to >start
    Settings>adminstration tools>computer management.
    From in here go to disk management under the storage option the right. A list of all the connect hard drives will show. There will be two partitions for your ipod, one will be unallocated, ignore this as its the firmware. The other partition should have the size of your drive on it and say (Healthy). If it doesn't format this partition only! If it does show up reset it by pressing menu and select together. Then i put it into disc mode. The pc show see it now.
    What i did next was to remove the ipod, reset, put it into disc mode and let Itunes recognise it. Don't load anything onto it.
    Go to the restore button and restore the firmware.
    That's what i did and it's working again.
    If it doesn't help I am really sorry and email apple directly.

  • Disabled iPod not recognized by iTunes, completely locked.

    Hello,
    Recently, a friend of mine who had my iPod touch at the time was playing around with it, just basically messing with random settings. He set a passcode made up of random numbers in the process, neither of us know the combination. We made a few guesses to try to unlock it, but now, whenever I turn the iPod on, it displays "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes" however, when I connect to iTunes, it tells me that I have to enter the passcode in before it can be recognized. Could someone please help me?

    Option 1: Send it in
    Option 2: Restore it and re-sync everything
    There is an option 3 but I don't feel comfortable telling you on this particular forum...
    Good luck!
