  • Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.

    Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.  Would a full reset of my iPod resolve this?  The iPod is still working, I just can't update apps or add songs...  The computer says that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctions, and Windows does not recognize it.  iTunes is not seeing the iPod at all....

    Try here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You have a driver/service problems and that is covered in the above.

    If you see your iPod in My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8) but not in iTunes under Devices, try these steps. Start at the top and work your way through the steps until iTunes recognizes your iPod.
    If you don't see your iPod in My Computer, follow these steps.
    This document is for Windows users and most older iPod models. See the following articles if you have this issue on:
    A Mac
    An iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch)
    An iPod nano (5th or 6th generation) (and you see an alert message in iTunes when you connect the device)

  • I received an ipod touch 5th gen for Christmas.  The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my touch have created ghost songs.  They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play.  I can't delete them

    The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my new touch have created ghost songs.  They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play.  I can't delete them.  I've tried unticking all the music that was on the ipod via itunes and re-syncing, which in theory should delete all music from my ipod.  It does except for the 5 ghost songs.   So at present I have no music on ipod except the 5 ghost songs.   Has anyone got any ideas how I can get rid of these?  
    I had no problems with my ipod touch 4th, which I had for years.   Any help would be great.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

    Hi, Jennifer. 
    First, try resetting the device.  The first article will walk you through this process.  I am unsure which iPod nano you have so I will include the basic article.  From there, select your version for troubleshooting steps.

  • I have a new hard drive and itunes and my computer (windows XP) no longer recognise my ipod. I also had the problem with the registry keys not being present but this has now been fixed. However i can no longer link my ipod up with itunes.

    When I first tried itunes with my new hard drive there was the problem with the registry keys but something also flagged up about needing a signed driver. Is this anything to do with why Itunes and my computer no longer recognises when my ipod is linked up? Whatever i try under 'devices' my ipod is never available to sync up. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
    I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
    Any suggestions?
