Getting my iTunes on my G5 to recognize my iPod

Help!!!!!!!!! I made the mistake of hooking up my iPod to a wintel machine when I first bought it. Now, when I hook the iPod up to my G5, it doesn't seem to know that it's there. So the question is, how do I get iTunes on my Mac to recognize my iPod and how do I make the G5 my iPod's main computer.

A first thing that you have to try is restarting the iPod, (hold the menu and center button for a little while). If that doesn't work then you should just reonfigure your iPod to a Mac rather then PC.

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

    Hello mhill10633,
    Based on your post, it sounds as if your device is not recognized by iTunes for Windows. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:

    I cannot get my itunes library to sync on to my ipod.  Every time I click sync, it does not.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • ITunes 7.0 will not recognize my iPod Video

    I'm new to this forum and somewhat of a novice when it comes to figuring this stuff out on my own. I happily downloaded 7.0 this morning because I purchased one of the tv shows that is earmarked for version 7.0. The download process went smoothly and I rebooted my computer as instructed. Regrettably, iTunes will not now recognize my pod! Fortunately, approximately 75% of all things purchased is backed up onto data discs and I'm going to back up the rest later today. However, I'm now skiddish and would like some advice as to how to fix this problem. How do I get Version 7.0 to recognize my iPod?

    Can you do me a favor? Can you see if bouncing the iPodService -- i.e.
    1. Quit iTunes.
    2. Right click on "My Computer". Select "Manage"
    3. Select "Services and Applications" in the left hand panel.
    4. Double click on "Services" in the right hand panel.
    5. Double click on "iPodService" in the right hand panel.
    6. This brings up a dialog.
    7. In this dialog, push the "stop" button.
    8. Make sure your iPod is connected and wait until it settles in Windows, i.e. you get all the new hardware balloons and noises.
    9. Push the "start" button in the dialog to restart the iPodService.
    10. Restart iTunes.
    Does iTunes now see your iPod?
    Alternatively, if the iPod is plugged in when you boot the computer, does iTunes see the iPod?

  • Itunes suddenly decides to 'not recognize" my ipod

    opened itunes, was adding a new album to the library, connected my ipod, changed the settings to manually adjust the songs. itunes showed all the songs on my ipod. I clicked on the new album that was in the recently added playlist in itunes and dropped it onto my iopd file in the library list -hoping to add it to the ipod.
    Well, itunes wiped out all 200+ songs on the ipod instantly, and then refused to recognize the ipod saying i needed to use ipod updater to reset my ipod settings.
    I tried resetting my ipod manually -no good.
    I downloaded from this site the new updater to my pc and tried to have it reset my ipod -no good.
    I downloaded the newest ver. of itunes and restarted my system. -no good.
    Can someone help me through this maze of sketchy technology or atleast give me the proper voodoo incantation to get this unreliable software to work with an even less reliable piece of hardware?

    I downloaded from this site the new updater to my pc and tried to have it reset my ipod -no good
    Reset and Restore are 2 different things. You Restore an ipod with the ipod updater. THis formats, or erases everything on the ipod.
    Reset is when you hold center and menu buttons on the ipod for 6 to 10 seconds. Its pretty much like rebooting your PC. You hold the buttons, the ipod shuts down shows the apple logo and "Boots" back up to the main menu.
    So you need to first try Resetting it with it.
    Then connect it to the PC and see if it shows in iTUnes OR in windows under "My Computer" as IPOD or Removable storage

  • New version itunes (Dec 2012) won't recognize my ipod touch.

    Since installing new itunes on computer, the program won't recognize my ipod.  It does recognize my daughter's iphone.  I've gone through several troubleshooting lists, restarting devices and doing everything recommended.  I did a tutorial to help me recognize the new features and the one that's supposed to be there for my device just isn't.
    Help?

    I've had the same problem. Go in and unplug all devices.Go to Control panel> Uninstall programs> Uninstall all programs accotiated with Mac ****If you are Windows**** (Itunes,Itunes update,Ipod touble shoot). Just go into list a separt by Developer and click on each and uninstall each by apple/ Macintosh, what ever yours says. Restart Download the newest version of itunes then. It should work.
    P.S. Where are you from? ( What state?)

  • Itunes 9.1 does not recognize my ipod touch

    I have pc, windows 7 32bit cpu.  itunes 9.1 doesn not recognize my new ipod touch.  I want to down load my music from my computer to my ipod

    You need iTunes 10 to work with any recent iPod touch, and iTunes 10.5 to work with one that has iOS 5, so you need to upgrade your version of iTunes.

  • Windows 7 & iTunes 10.1 won't recognize my iPod (4.1 + MB533BT)

    My computer (Windows 7 64 bit) doesn't recognize my iPod. And neither does my iTunes. When I connect my iPod, the iPod charges but my PC doesn't recognize it.
    I've tried uninstalling and installing iTunes at least 3 times and also restarted my PC in the process. After uninstalling iTunes, I even deleted my iTunes & iPod folder (under Program Files).
    I've gone into Services and stopped/started Apple Mobile Device & iPod Service and reconnected my iPod.
    I've restarted my iPod and reset its settings.
    I've tried updating its driver.
    I've checked the USB connections under Device Manager. (The iPod charges but doesn't connect.)
    I've changed the USB cable.
    I really don't know what else to do. Any ideas? Anyone?

    Have you tried everything here?

    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
