HT1386 itunes detects my ipod but doesn´t identify it

i´m having problems with my ipod because itunes doesn´t identify it so i can´t update iOS 4.3 for downloading apps or anything....the only thing i can do is charge the battery....
¿what can i do???

Have you tried here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
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.
- try anmother cable
- try another computer

  • Itunes detects an Ipod but can't identify 7th gen Nano

    Went through all the trouble shooting shown on the help/more info menu and still the same thing.
    I can get the nano to stay connected to my comp only if I leave the Itunes error up and dont click ok in Itunes and then I see it in my devices on the comp!!!

    Does the iPod work?
    How is the iPod identified?
    Does it appear in iTunes?
    Tried another cable? Another USB port

    How ca I fix it ?
    When I try to connect to Itunes Store , Itunes not connect (stop at middle process) but without errors messages
    The first turn-on of the Ipod was in other computer , is that the problem ?
    Thanks in advance
    EDIT : After 2 days trying to make it work , while I was writing this discussion , the Itunes start to sinc "magicly"  and  now detect the Ipod .
             I think that must be an error in the product registration or something like that .

    Start here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) use different drivers/services to be properly identified compared to other iPods.

  • HT1386 itunes recognizes my ipod but wont sync. I have just done a system restore.

    After system restore, ipod wont sync. itunes recognizes my device but sync starts and then abruptly stops.

    Are you still signed into your Apple ID on the iPod? Just noticed that you have the iPod classic. Maybe you would be better off posting elsewhere. Try here.

  • My itunes detects my ipod but no my computer.... what i have to do???

    please help....!!!!!!!! urgent....

    Hello omar0003,
    So your iPod Touch appears in iTunes but not my computer?  Is that you are saying?  If so, that is supposed to be the case.  Your iPod Touch will not be recognized as a separate mounted drive.  For more information, see this article.

    Hi
    So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
    When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
    Thanks.

  • HT1386 i can't seem tp sync my old ipod touch to my new laptop. it says i need to upgrade my itunes on the ipod but i get an error. what do i do?

    i can't seem tp sync my old ipod touch to my new laptop. it says i need to upgrade my itunes on the ipod but i get an error. what do i do?

    Not good
    Error (-1)
    Try on another computer
    Also see:
    iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
    Then see:
    -1 error
    -1 error too
    If still problem  that means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Itunes gives me the message that it has detected an ipod in recovery mode, you must restore the ipod.  when I clikk the "restore" button the download begins and after 30 minutes, I get the original message that itunes detects an ipod in recovery mode.

    iTunes gives me the message that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode and that I need to restore the factory settings.  When I click the "restore" button iTunes downloads the software.  This is a 30 minute process.  Once the download completes, I get the same message "iTunes detects an iPod in recovery mode....".  I'm running Windows Vista and ZoneAlarm security software.
    I've tried this restore function multiple times and still get the same results. 
    I've also tried resetting the iPod by holding the wake/sleep button and the Home button at the same time.  The iPod turns on but shows the icons of a usb cable connecting to iTunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This maybe yuor problem:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

    I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them. How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Itunes recognises my Ipod but cannot see the files! need help

    Hi, when I open Itunes while my Ipod is attached to the pc, Itunes recognises my Ipod but cannot open it! The only recommendation I get is to totally reset the Ipod to the configuration of the factory but then I will lose all of my files! Can someone advise me what to do? Is there another option? hope someone can help me with this! thanks
    ps I tried copypod, but unfortunately it does not work. I have two files on my ipod that are damaged but I am not able to remove them! I think these two files are the problem.

    When I want to do something like you're describing, I open itunes, then select Edit-Preferences.
    I leave that window open and then connect the ipod. I can then use it as a disk in windows explorer.

    While it is connected in iTunes, click on your iPod in the Source Frame under devices and then check the Summary tab in the frame to your right. At the bottom, under options, do you have it set to Manually Manage your music?
