I have an unknown error (1621) and my iPod is not being recognised in iTunes or the Finder, even in Disc mode.  Anyone know what's going on?

Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • My ipad (mini) and ipod are not being recognised by itunes?

    When connecting both my ipad(mini) and ipod(7th gen) they are not being recognised by itunes.  I last connected just over a month ago and everything was fine.  When I last connected I also connected my old ipod(3rd gen) to add new playlists beforing giving to someone else.  When I first plugged in I got a message saying that the cable was not Apple authorised - both my cables are cables supplied with my ipod/ipad so came from Apple?  When I run diagnostics it says
    "Most recent devices not currently connected,  - iPod Nano (3rd Gen) and iPad Mini running firmware 6.1.3"  This is the first time I have tried to connect since updated my iPad with IOS7?  Please help I wanted to put Christmas playlists on both devices.....!

    - Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:

  • My ipod touch and all ipods are not being recognised on my computer?

    when i plug my ipod touch into my computer nothing happens, my ipod doe not charge and wont sync.
    i went on to my "devices and "printers section and my ipod was under "unspecified" it told me to troubleshoot it but when i did it said i haved a problem with PnP devices. it also said that windows would try to solve the problem but it didnt do anything and i still cant connect my ipod becuse it does not do anything, any advice?

    Could the error number be: 0xE........?
    Unknown Error containing "0xE" when restoring: To resolve this issue, follow the steps in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting. If you have a Windows computer with an Intel® 5 series/3400 series chipset, you may need updates for your chipset drivers. See iTunes for Windows: Issues syncing iOS devices with P55 and related Intel Chipsets for more information.

  • Sony DVD Burner and 350 mhz AGP not being recognised by iTunes

    I managed to get a Sony DVD Burner for my friends Powermac g4 AGP, the sales assistant sais it would be comatible for macs....it installed fine and wa sable to read dvd's perfectly, when my friend went to burn a CD from iTunes it would not work as it seems the drive is not supported. I have tried finidng some drivers all over the sony website for it but to no avail. I don't suppose anyone has any experience with this brand of burner? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    As I recall, Sony's internal DVD burners are made by Lite-On, but as far as the G4 is concerned - the drive's firmware indicates a Sony product. A compatibilty problem for burning a disk occurs, when the CD/DVD drive is newer than the supporting profiles for Apple's Disk Burner software. Have you checked into "PatchBurn?" Other than that, your friend could purchase Roxio's "Toast," which has more user settings than Apple's software.

  • I have an iphone 4 and after updating it to the ios5 software, it will not allow me to activate nor allow me to leave the setup page. i cannot even restore it. does anyone know what to do?

    i have an iphone 4 and after updating it to the ios5 software, it will not allow me to activate nor allow me to leave the setup page. i plugged it into itunes and it is stuck there too... i cannot even restore it. does anyone know what to do?

    I have had this same issue but thankfully fixed it. Follow he steps below:
    Sync your iPhone with you iTunes therefore your info is backed up. Unplug your phone.
    Go to Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    Once your phone has reset and come back on answer the question until it asks if you want to back up from itunes Click this then plug your phone in.
    After everything has sync'd back to your phone everything should work fine.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

    I should mention that if you are deadset on using a Mac, then you can run Windows 7 or 8 in Parallels. You will find about a 10% speed reduction using a VM emulation. You will also need to have at least 8 GBs of RAM in your Mac to assure optimum performance of both OS X and Windows. Do not install a later version of Windows than is supported by your software.

  • Ipod Touch not being recognised/unknown device

    Ipod Touch not being recognised - help!?
    It says it's a code 43 - Unknown device/device not recognised. Doesn't sound good.
    Tried all of the things the itunes website suggested such as of course turning it off and on again, restarting services, reinstalling itunes. I know from experience that when you take it in to the shop they want to charge you almost as much as you bought it for to fix a minor problem. Thanks

    Hi,
    Reinstalling iTunes *will not* erase your music library.
    As a matter of course I do, and in fact Apple recommend that you back up your music library, there is an option to do this under "File" in iTunes. It is really quite sensible to have your purchased and other music files saved elsewhere as well as on your main hard drive, it can save a lot of time and hassle.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • Error 13005 Anyone know what is going on?

    When I try to run iTunes I get the above error. Even when I tell itunes to create a new library by holding down shift when I click on itunes, it still gives me this error. Anyone know what is going on?

    Hello, I get that error message "iTunes error 13005". I have my itunes database on an ext HD, I completed an update yesterday from Apple and my itunes wont open on my computer, giving me the above error message. I have read the resolutions offerred in the thread but I not been successfull in solving the problem. I have deleted the Genius and extras files, rebooted the computer and still the same message. I dont think it is anything to do with the iTunes update as it had the same effect on another computer here that had been update. I think it is something to do with the Ext HD and possibly the extreme WiFi router and it's firmwire update.
    Did you resolve your problem?
    Thanks
    Chris
