How do I get my Ipod driver back in my device manager?

Ok, it goes like this:
Brand new Ipod, replacing one that was permanantly locked up, is not recognized by my cpu. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes, have checked for viruses and spyware, have done every thing tech support and this site suggested to a letter.
A tech savvy friend of mine theorized that I may simply need the Ipod driver downloaded onto my cpu, and then the cpu would recognize the Ipod.
Does this make sense, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Please and thank you...

This might be the problem I'm having.
My 5G 30GB iPod's working fine but isn't recognised by my computer. It won't even charge on my computer. I've tried it on another computer and it works fine.
I've uninstalled, re-installed, done everything i can find on the support pages and it still won't work. The USB ports on my computer are fine as my mobile phone connects and charges and synch's with my pc just fine in the same port.
I've switched ports as well.
Uninstalled any newer programs that may have caused the problem since i last connected. Nothing!
What is going on Apple - sounds like a lot people are having the same sort of troubles.
Edit - it's now charging, but still not recognised...

    Nastyassink-
    Apple's Camera Connection Kit includes both an SD adapter and a USB adapter.  You can use an SD card or an adapted Mini SD card with the SD adapter.  You can use a USB thumb drive with the USB adapter, as well as a USB adapter for other cards such as Compact Flash.  (Some card adapters draw too much current and require a powered USB hub to work.)
    It is required that the camera card or thumb drive be formatted as MS-DOS FAT, just as if it had been formatted in a camera.  Photos and videos must be in a folder named DCIM, and have names consisting of 8 characters plus suffix, just as they would have been named in a camera.
    Some video formats are not compatible with the iPad video player and must be converted on your computer.  (The iPad can read M4V, MP4 and some MOV files.)

  • How do I get my hard drive back?

    Hello,
    I have a duel drive G4 and have just migrated all of my programs and files to my 2nd drive and will use this as the new start up disk. When I finished all my migration and updates I wanted to hide the old drive so it would could be accessed. I moved the icon from the desktop to a folder in the new drive. I then dragged the icon of the old drive from the desktop to the trash and got the eject message. Now when I double click on the icon that I put in the folder I get a message saying "The volume can not be found insert disk or connect to server volume." When I go to sys. preferences the old drive no longer shows up in the start up disk location. How can I get this drive back? Have I screwed this up really bad?
    Power Mac G4   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Do you see the drive in Disk Utility? Go Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If you see it in the left column, select it and click Mount at the top.
    Have you tried restarting?

  • Computer crashed lost everything how can i get my ipod songs back?

    hi i recently had to reset my computer and all my information was lost including my ipod software. now i have no clue how to get my ipod up and running without deleting the songs on my ipod.i need step by step instructions on how to do this i dont know were to begin. someone please help me. do i have to reinstall itunes from the website again? HELP!

    Download the latest iTunes and reinstall it, you'll get it here: iTunes
    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    iPodAgent Windows Only
    Senuti Mac Only
    Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy that you understand and can use. They are generally quite straightforward.
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive through Windows posted in this thread: iPod to iTunes
    You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode. However when you connect, if you are getting a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac you hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.
    Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
    Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.
    Go with whichever method you feel most comfortable. Remember what I said above, if you are getting a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*.

  • HT202213 How do you get your old songs back on your device?

    Do I use iCloud or HomeSharing?

    That depends on where the songs are. If they are on your computer, you can sync them with iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer with the cable
    Launch iTunes
    Click on the iPad name on the left under "Devices"
    Click on the Music Tab in iTunes on the right
    Click on all of the artists, or playlists that you want to sync - or choose the "Entire Library" option
    Make sure that the Sync Music heading is checked
    Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes
    I don't use iTunes Match, (the cloud), but this should explain it to you.

    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.
    You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

  • How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

    Your title asks "How do I get my iPhone information back on my (iPhone)?
    You also said "I have yet to back it up."  Therefore, all your information that had been on your iPhone is now gone.
    Your iPhone has (and will continue to) been refreshed from iTunes.
