Help: iPod Clickwheel is not recognized by iTunes 7 and XP  :-(

I continously updated my iTunes versions, and now my old iPod Clickwheel 20GB is not recognized anymore. Don't know if software of iPod is screwed up or if there is an incompatibility. Also can not reinstall software to iPod that way - or is there another solution??
Hope someone solved a similar problem before thanks

Roll back to a previous version of iTunes.

  • My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or give me the battery sign. I have tried toubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but it doesn't work. What do I do to fix it?

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

    Does it light up at all? If not, you could have a battery issue.

  • TS1538 My iPod Touch is not recognized in iTunes and not seen in My Computer (Windows XP) either.

    My problems began whe I got the notice that iTunes 10.6.3 was ready to update.
    I have a iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    I have followed all of the troubleshooting steps. I have uninstall all of my security software.  I have followed the steps to uninstall itunes and all of the other programs in order. I have re-installed itunes multiple times.
    I noticed that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed under the Device Manager. However, when I follow the directions to "Update the driver" I can navigate to the usbaapl.inf driver file but when I hit the OK button to install I get an error "The specificied location does not contain information about your hardware" and it will  not install the usb driver.
    What do I do now???  Any suggestions?

    Try recovery or DFU mode.

  • Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop

    I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
    Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?

    Why would you throw it away if it is in warranty? Why not exchange it?

  • My ipod touch is not recognized in itunes and when i turn it on the screen just stays at the apple logo.

    Is there something i can do to fix it? Or should I just send it in to apple?

    -See if resetting the iPod will allow iTunes to see the iPod so that you can restore the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next seeif recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Let the battery fully drain. Charge and try again
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or arrange fro service by Apple.

  • HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

    Hello,
    The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
    Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
    <a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
    Have you checked this link out?:
    <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
    Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    If not...
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
    Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

  • TS1363 My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  Is this repairable?

    My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  I have tried a variety of options, even resetting, but still no luck.

    What does the iPod's screen say or do, when you connect it to USB port on the computer?
    The article referenced is for "regular" iPods.  An iPod touch is an iOS computer, so this article would be more appropriate for troubleshooting.

    Be sure to rule out a faulty USB cable as the cause.  Try another cable, or try the cable you have with another device that has a dock connector.
    Also, you should do this test to rule out a problem with the USB port (such as lack of power or USB device conflict).  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). 
    Then, start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.  If it still does not connect, connect something else to the same USB port to confirm it is working.  Preferably, use something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.
