I downloaded the new version of itunes (8.0) and now my computer and itune will not acknowledge ipod connection. States "found new hardware"? When I go into help and do diagnostic check it comes up with the correct ipod and serial number, just won't pick up on ipod being connected.

Windows suddenly not recognizing iPod Shuffle - drive letter conflict

If you're having troubles with your PC not recognizing your Shuffle even though it used to recognize it in the past, this is just something else to consider (sorry if it's already been covered):
When I originally connected my Shuffle to my laptop on my home network, it was recognized immediately, and my WinXP OS assigned it the drive letter "I". Later, with the Shuffle no longer connected to the laptop, I was setting up my home network, and I mapped one of my shared network locations to the "I" drive letter on my laptop. The next time I plugged my Shuffle in, Windows would not recognize it. I proceeded to plug it into both of the other computers on my home network, and it was recognized immediately on both of them. So I then went back to the original laptop, disconnected the network drive mapping I had set up for "I". Once I did that, when I plugged my Shuffle back in, the Shuffle was again being recognized immediately (not surprisingly, still as drive letter "I"). In short, Windows has a memory of drive mappings made in the past, and sometimes this can produce unexpected or unwanted behavior (I would have expected my Shuffle to automatically be assigned the next open drive letter, but alas, that was not the case in my experience).
To minimize the possibility of running into this problem again (in case I do more network drive mapping in the future), I used the Disk Management utility in WinXP to change/force the Shuffle's drive letter on my laptop to be "Z" (right click on My Computer and choose Manage, then look for the Disk Management module - you probably will need Admin rights to do this, but I haven't confirmed that).
PC Windows XP Pro

Had this happening too, had a very old cable, tried a new cable and it worked great. My ipod was showing up in itunes, but not in windows (or in device manager). When I tried to use the utility to copy files from my ipod to my hard drive I couldn't do it (wonderful utility getsharepod.com). The new cable solved the problem!

PC with Windows 8 not recognizing ipod

My I-tunes will not recognize my ipod touch. My PC does see it and I've tried re-starting the device software. Any ideas?

Hello cpottier,
It sounds like your iPod is not being recognized in iTunes. I recommend the following article to help troubleshoot that:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

TS1412 Windows is not recognizing ipod shuffle

My laptop (Windows) can't recognize my ipod shuffle 2nd gen. I tried restore, but stil not recognizing.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

Itunes opening extremely slow on PC. Using windows 7 64 bit. Have re installed itunes several times and tunes not recognizing ipod touch 3rd gen

have this issue since 10.6 update can't down grade to earlier version... I tunes drag painly slow to open ever after be re-installed several time. Any thought out there?

I had the same problem with my iPhone 4. I use Avast as my virus scanner, and the incoming mail filter in Avast screws with iTunes/iPhone and stops the computer recognising the phone. Disabled the mail filter and the iPhone syncs fine. You should give that a go. Possible that it is the same issue with the iPod too.

Itunes all of a sudden not recognizing iPod.

I have a iPod Video, I've not had any problems at all syncing and using my Ipod and Itunes. All of a sudden, Itunes won't find the Ipod. When I go to My computer, it shows the iPod connected, so the computer is finding it, but Itunes isn't.
I uninstalled my version of Itunes, and redownloaded Itunes, I am using version 6.0.4.2 I have the latest ipod software download, which according to apple.com is from March of 2006.
Any ideas what is going on, and how I can get Itunes to recognize the Ipod again?

TS1538 windows 7 not recognizing ipod

Neither Windows 7 nor iTunes are recognizing my iPod Classic. I followed all of the steps available in the Apple Troubleshooting section, but there does not even appear to be any sort of device in my Device Manager that is remotely iPod-esque (or USB storage-esque for that matter). What's even more troubling is that nearly 5,000 of my songs are from CDs and are only on my iPod now (It took me weeks to copy them all and I do NOT want to go through that again). Is there any way to restore my iPod without deleting everything? And if so, is there any way to copy my music from my iPod onto iTunes? I understand piracy prevention, but this is downright ridiculous. I wish I would have bought anything besides an iPod to listen to music on. :/

1. Apple Mobile Device Services controls communication with the iPod/iPhone. See this article for help on troubleshooting the problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
2. There are multiple programs that can do this. However, Pod to PC is freeware and is highly regarded. Google it.

Windows 7 not recognizing iPod Touch

I just bought a new Windows 7 Home Premium laptop and I'm trying to connect my iPod Touch to it to put my music on my new laptop (my old computer crashed with all the music from my iPod plus more, and most of it wasn't otherwise stored), but when I plug in the iPod Touch to the computer, Windows 7 does not show it as connected. iTunes shows it is connected and it charges just fine, though.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
1. How do I get Windows 7 to recognize the iPod Touch?
2. Is there a way to transfer the music from my iPod BACK to my computer without screwing up my iPod and risk losing my music?

Windows computer not recognizing Ipod

I have just purchased a 30gb Ipod and have tried to connect it to my computer. My wife's Ipod has no problems being recognized, and neither did mine after a few tweaks. Now it does not recognize the new ipod at all. Any suggestions on how to make this work every time would be appreciated.

hi Bill!
Now it does not recognize the new ipod at all. Any suggestions on how to make this work every time would be appreciated.

Windows 8.1 and updated iTunes. My devices are not recognized.

Windows 8.1 and updated iTunes. My devices are not recognized. Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the AMDS isn't installed. Extracted the setup files and ran the AppleMobileSupport64.msi but the install states my system is not configured....

Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer.
The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured.
Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.

Itunes 64bit on windows 7 not reconize iphone

Itunes 64 bit windows 7 not connected iphone, because itunes required iphone same 64 bit ...

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
