How to get itunes to recognise ipod?

I have just got the original ipod touch, but the only problem is, whenever i connect it into my computer to put music on it, iphoto recognises the ipod but not itunes? Please help!!

Try importing them as AAC files (32kbps or 64kbps at most. Any more is overkill for an audiobook.)
Once it's an AAC file, try renaming the actual file (should have an .m4a extension) so that it now has an .m4b extension.
You should be able to properly classify it as an audiobook.

    My iPod shows up in windows but not in iTunes. How can i get my iPod to show up in iTunes?

    Yes, resetting it while it's connected may get it recognized.
    If you're having the non-recognition problem frequently, you may have USB issues on your computer. Try connecting to one of the ports on the rear of your computer. Also see these tips:

  • How to get iTunes to recognise my iPhone 3G,

    I have recently been given my daughter's old iPhone 3G. It has supposedely been unlocked by O2 and I have now a t-mobile sim card in it. I can ring out and receive messages but iTunes does not recognise it as a device. I have now tried entering an iPod but it is not recognised either. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled the latest version. Still no recognition. Any suggestions please?

  • HT1473 I want to keep my music on my external hard drive to free up room on my computer how do i get itunes to recognise the hard drive to play the music?

    I would like to keep all my music on my external hard drive but I can't seem to get itunes to recognise my hard drive.  How do I get itunes to recognise my hard drive so I can play the music off there rather than copying the files over each time?

    Click the icon to launch iTunes
    Immediately press and hold down the shift key
    Keep holding shift until asked to create or choose a library
    If iTunes opens normally close and go back to step 1.
    Browse to the iTunes Library.itl file you want to open.

  • IPhone **** cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later - I get this error message yet I have 10.6.4, how can I get itunes to recognise my phone?

    The iPhone **** cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later - I get this error message yet I have 10.6.4, how can I get itunes to recognise my phone

    You must be referring to OS X 10.6.4, because there is no iTunes version 10.6.4. You can download iTunes 10.6.3 here:

    Any reason why you have not updated to OS X 10.6.8? If you did, you could then run iTunes 11.0.1.

    Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

    Install an hardware diagnostic tool like Everest home Edit or similar.
    This tool would provide all hardware details about your notebook.
    It would list all devices and chipset name too.
    I think its Intel chipset so you could find the driver on the Intel page

  • Help (urgent, sorry) - Inaccessible iTunes songs located in SugarSync folder - how to get iTunes to re-recognize these files?

    Somehow (don't get me started) SugarSync got hold of part of my iTunes library and now I have hundreds of songs with exclamation marks next to them, which are of course unplayable.
    I have found the unplayable songs using "Locate" in iTunes:  the missing songs are all in Libary/ApplicationSupport/SugarSync/small_file folder.  They are each identified in the Finder window as "iTunes.app documents" in that folder.  The filenames look like this:  8859638_512534.!8859638_106139
    I have tried iTunes/Organize Library.  I have tried iTunes/Add to Library.  I have quit iTunes, I have rebooted.  Nothing has worked.
    How can I get iTunes to recognise these files as iTunes Music (purchased from the iTunes store), and get them back in to my iTunes library ?
    Would welcome all suggestions.  Especially as I'm supposed to have my sister's 50th birthday CD ready in 6 hours and many of the songs I chose are inaccessible :-(
    Thank you.

    Ok, what you should do is go to "Preferences" in iTunes, with your iPod connected, and check the option that makes the iTune s your default player and all music files defaultly the Apple format (AAC). It will automatically convert all songs to that format, and list them in your library. However, you may have to right click on them and select "Convert to AAC selection" if they won't play in iTunes... hopefully I have provided some insight...
