For Those Having Problems with iTunes 7.0 Not Recognizing Your iPod

Hello all:
So I was having the same issues that I have seen many others have. I install iTunes 7.0 and can no longer get my iPod to connect. I was about ready to uninstall and revert back to 6.0.5. However, I tried this instead:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Connect iPod.
3. Go to Control Panel.
4. Add/Remove Programs
5. Find iTunes and highlight it but do not select Remove.
6. Select Change.
7. Select the option to Repair.
8. Let the repair finish and select Finish when done.
9. Open iTunes and your iPod will hopefully show up.
Confirmed to work with 1st Gen 4GB nano on Windows XP Pro SP2. YMMV.
Best of luck,
John

BTW, this is only a temporary fix as you will have to do this each time you reconnect to your computer. I know it is a hack but something is better than nothing until Apple releases a fix.

  • Is anyone having issues with itunes 10.1 not recognizing your Phone?

    I have Windows 7 and need to install iTunes 10.1.1, the 64 bit version which I did, and when I do and try to connect the phone, It tells me my phone is not recognized and to install the 64 bit version which i've done already. Help!!

    Do you mean 10.4.1 ? That is the latest version

  • Is anybody else having problems with itunes (10.6.3.25) and ipod touch (5.1.1)?

    Lately I've been having a ton of problems with iTunes and my iPod Touch (4th generation). Lots of error messages such as can't connect to itunes store, incompatible application, ipod detected but not identifiable, invalid response received from device, unknown errors [mostly (0xE8000001)], problem with audio configuration, etc. I've done everything I could think of. Uninstalling iTunes (with all the components) then reinstalling with the newest version (10.6.3.25), running diagnostics and such. If it does appear (about 2% of the time) then iTunes freezes and/or it won't sync. I also try to change some info (song title, artist, artwork, etc)(when it DOES come up) and it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod. My ipod appears on my computer but not in iTunes under devices like its supposed to. I've been to all the support threads I can possibly find and NOTHING has helped. I also had the latest version for the ipod touch (5.1.1). And I've never had any issues with iTunes or my iPod touch before. I know I should probably try restoring my ipod but I absolutely do not want to do that unless I have to because i have a lot of music, apps, movies, etc I'm not able to back up. Also, I'm using a Windows 7 computer. Please Please help if you can, I am frustrated because I can't do anything.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Solution for those having problems with Snow Leopard and drivers

    I have posted what worked for me in several posts that other people had started, but because I feel I might sound repetitive and annoying, I am just posting it in this one for everyone. I hope it can be helpful. Best wishes for the year 2010
    First of all, make sure you have made a SOFTWARE UPDATE before doing the following:
    * Make sure your printer is connected and "on"/green light via your USB port (or other which will be recognised by your system)
    * Go to System Preference
    * Print & Fax
    * Your printer will appear.
    * Right click on the printer that is giving problems
    * Reset printing system
    * All printers will disappear
    * Click on the + sign under this/these to add a new printer (I suppose you would have to do so for each one you have if you have more than one... not sure)
    * In my case, the one that appear was 950c even though the one I have is 959. So, to make sure I would have something, I kept that, but then I click the + sign again.
    * I selected the 950C, but then I checked on "PRINT USING".... THEN
    * I had to "SELECT PRINTER SOFTWARE"
    * I found it and that came where it said "Print using", but this time it was the right software.
    * I renamed the NAME of the printer to be sure I would recognise it... LOL
    I hope this is useful for all of you.

    If a device is an All-in-One and can therefore scan, you will find that when the printer is added, the pane on the right hand side for that device will have two headings - Print and Scan.
    If the device is just a scanner, then there will be heading of Scanners in the list on the left side. Printers will typically be listed at the top of this list.
    Regarding click the + (Add), if you see Protocol, etc, then you have selected the IP icon at the top of the Add Printer browser. This is for networked devices using TCP/IP. To see devices connected to your Mac via USB, then you need to select the Default icon while in the Add Printer browser.
    Note that if you don't see any icons in the Add Printer toolbar, then you have it hidden. To see the icons, click the oval shaped button on the right hand side of the Add Printer pane.

  • Hello, i am having problems with itunes store. it wont connect almost as if its hanging, any ideas how to fix this problem

    hello, i am having problems with itunes store. it wont connect almost as if its hanging, any ideas how to fix this problem

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • Hi am having problems with iTunes,I have all my music on my 4s but I bought the iPhone 5 today.us there any way that I can transfer music over to my new phone without using the library?as it doesn't seem to be on my PCM anymore.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • Is anyone having problems with the stock widget not updating?

    Is anyone having problems with the stock widget not updating?

    Widgets unfortunately have gone by the wayside since Apple introduced the App Store a couple years ago.  No widget has received any official recognition in the Apple listing of Widgets since that time.  So it is entirely possible the widget has gotten redirected.   There are many other Apps for stocks.  I personally like the Nasdaq Quote website since it knows mutual funds and other markets as well.

    Hi, I have an Iphone 3g that is "Not" jailbroken, nor do I want it to be jailbroken. However, I had been having problems with it shuting down and not starting again. So, I tried to update and restore only to get an "error" 1015.
    It is now stuck on "connect to itunes"
    Any help would be great as this is a factory unlocked phone

    Apple in no way blocks devices.
    Carriers can blacklist devices from their network.  If that is what has occurred, only the carrier can remove the blacklist.  This should have nothing to do with your ability to activate the device and use it as an iPod.
