I can not get my IPOD classic to be recognized on my laptop

I have a new dell laptop and can not connect my IPOD classic to my iTunes library...the computer indicates that it does not recognize the IPOD at all...very frustrate...

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • How can I get my iPod Classic to be recognized by my laptop through a usb hub?

    My new XPS 13" recognizes my iPhone 4 when run through the 3.0 USB Hub but not the iPod. If I connect thhe iPod directly to the XPS iTunes will recognize the device.

    recommended only 2.0 usb.

    You need a third-party program like the paid PhoneView or TouchCopy. The free iFunBox may work.
    BTW this is the iPod touch forum.

  • I can not get my ipod 4 gen to log into Free Wifi hotspots. It shows that it is connected but I have to internet activity. I was at several hotspot locations last night and could not get on any, but other people were. HELP.

    I can not get my Ipod 4 Gen to log into free WIFI hot spots. It shows that I am connected but I have no internet activity. I was in several hot spots last night and could not log in, other people were, but I could not. HELP!

    - Did the other users who successfully connected have iDevices?
    - Frequently you have to open Safari/a browser and agree to the terms and conditions of the wifi spot before yo can get to the internet.  Some wifi spots use Flash or Java to log on which the iPod (and other iDevices) do not support)
    - Have you tried resetting network settings: Settings:General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Does you Ipod successfully connect at home?.

    Chippy:
    I'll assume you've read the iPod manual. The directions I have seem fairly straightforward - iPod connects to a wireless network when it discovers one. Or, if that option is turned off, you have to manually connect it.
    When it comes to attaching to your router, you will need to know what kind of security the router is using, what the security password is and most important - the router's DHCP function must be activated so the iPod can acquire an IP address.
    If the iPod truly can handle the connection, and you have the necessary information I mentioned, it should connect without a problem. But since you can't connect, you need to review the settings I mentioned.
    It's possible there is some sort of issue with the router and the iPod. But it's my guess that the iPod is not acquiring an IP address because the router is not giving them out.
    Check these things out and post what you find. If we can figure out the answer, your post will be helpful to others who may run into the same problem.

    Hi starhalcomb,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPod touch. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact configuration. If you are having issues with your iPod touch not being recognized in iTunes when you connect via USB, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in one of the following articles helpful:

  • I can not get itunes to install and open on my new laptop i am so frustrated i have uninstalled and reinstalled at least a dozen times in the last month

    Will iTunes open in safe mode? Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as, or immediately after, you click the icon that starts iTunes and keep holding until you see this prompt.
    Click Continue.
    Assuming iTunes has opened, enable the menu bar, if necessary, with CTRL+B. Then go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Press OK, close iTunes, wait until it has had a chance to fully close then reopen.
    Will iTunes open normally now?
    If not, see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for genral advice.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I can not get my ipod to show on itunes i have followed all the procedures in help, what more can i do

    I can't get my ipod touch to show up in itunes, I've followed all the directions it still will not show up. What can I do now?

    I hope you get an answer on this. I am having similar problems. I have lots of music on my Nano and now have a new laptop. How do you move those songs into your new laptop from the Nano.

  • Can not get the ipod to set up

    My ipod will not come up for set up.  Just bought it 2 days ago and already very dissapointed in it.  Can not get it to sync.  Thank you

    Did you download and install the latest version of iTunes from here?
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Are you using the USB cable that came with the shuffle? 
    If you are using a USB hub as connection point, try connecting it directly to a USB port on computer.  If there are other USB devices connected at the same time, you may want to try it with only the shuffle connected (except for standard keyboard and mouse).

  • HT1923 I had Windows 7 and Itunes recognized my Ipod Touch with no issues.  Now that I've upgraded to Windows 8 I can't get my Ipod Touch to be recognized by Itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I can't seem to get my Ipod touch to be recognized by Itunes now that I'm using my new upgraded Windows 8 Pro.  Has anyone else experienced this problem and do you have a solution?
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1386 I can't get my iPod Classic to sync with iTunes.  My iPod Classic is up to date, and i have downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  When trying to sync, it gives the message "The iPod "Brad D's iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found."

    Do I have to un-install and re-install iTunes or do I have to restore my iPod Classic (I don't want to lose everything in my music library)?

    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive for storage is not a good thing.  It usually means the hard drive is faulty.  That is the likely reason for getting an error during the attempt to Restore.
    If you use a Mac, you can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    If it goes into Disk Mode, connect the iPod and instead of running iTunes, run Disk Utility.  Does the iPod appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?  If it does, select the iPod device in the sidebar, not the volume indented below the device (if there is one).  Go to the Erase tab.  Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Name does not matter.  Click on Security Options and choose to write a single pass of zeros over the entire disk.  This serves as a good "stress test" for the iPod's hard drive.  Back on the main window, click Erase.
    This takes longer than a regular erase, but you should see steady progress.  If it errors out, or stalls for a LONG time (like hours), the hard drive is likely to be faulty.
    If it completes successfully, quit Disk Utility, run iTunes and try to do another Restore
