    Thank you for the question.  Try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot your iPod touch not being recognized in iTunes.  I would recommend seeing the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

  • I just cant get this iPod to sync my iPhoto library

    Hey, I am getting kinda frustrated here...I am able to sync my music and so on, but when I try to sync my iphoto library I get ( THIS IPOD CANNOT BE SYNCED, REQUIRED FILES CANNOT BE FOUND ) ..
    mind you, when I sync photo's from my picture album, everything shows up from there ..So why isnt my iphoto library syncing ?it's itunes and iphoto and a ^%$#@& ipod! why doesnt it work?
    Please help me cause I tried everything and apple doesnt even give me a half fast answer ....
    all they tel me is well we have had a few people call with the same issue and I asked , so what did you tell them, and I get nonsense, they just decided to work on it cause there's no apple store in their neck of the woods !
    I need help !
    it's an 80 gb ipod and Im on a intel based mac running leopard .all my software is up to date..evrything is as it should be .EXCEPT FOR MY IPOD !

    Okay guy's, I figured out whats wrong and I worked down the line and found that if I just synced folder by folder, one by one ..I would see where it's going wrong.
    and I did, Some of the photo s I have in iPhotoin those particular events were edited in different apps and so on. several times I estimated ..
    So in short, if any of you guy's remember editing your photo's over and again , it just screws up the metadata and doesnt allow it to be reconized after imported into iPhoto.
    so I found all my original pics and not the ones in the iphoto library but the ones I have stored in an external camera drive, and reimported them into iPhoto and then edited as much as I wanted and it workes just fine now..
    I hope this helps and I hope I didnt sound to much like I was rambling on.
    Thanks for your answers to ...

  • I cant get my ipod to sync

    i accidentally deleted my library and now my ipod wont sync. I reinstalled itunes and it still keep saying it is synced to another computer.

    iTunes Sync is one way, from iTunes library to Ipod.
    If you still got your songs in the iPod, download CopyTrans and use it to copy back from iPod to PC
    Refer to this earlier post, many links and apps.

  • Please help! I can't get my iPod to sync with iTunes on my PC?

    This problem is really frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance because I'm completely stuck. I have been trying for many hours over the past few days to get my iPod touch to sync with iTunes on my PC. When I plug my iPod touch into my PC, iTunes opens up and this message pops up:
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    I have completely removed iTunes from my PC several times and reinstalled it several times but this message continues to pop up and its really annoying because I can't put my music onto my iPod. I have followed instructions on the apple website which were to temove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel and then restart the PC and reinstall iTunes again. I've tried this several times and it simply didn't work and the error message continues to pop up when I plug my iPod into my PC. I really need to know what is the software required so that I can use my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I can't explain how much I'd appreciate help with this. Thanks in advance.
    Do I need to install software on my iPod or on my PC? :S

    Two ideas, but what version of Windows? what versions of iTunes? did you manually remove what the uninstaller left behind as outlined in Apple support article?
    Did you upgrade to iOS 5 or not? what version? what about your iPod Touch model?
    Backup its backup. Backup content.
    USB is directly connected to a motherboard port?
    Have you had to restore the iPod?
    Also, many have pointed finger at Apple Mobile Service needing to be restarted first, then launch iTunes and then connect iPod.
    Create a new Windows partition and use that to do a clean install and for testing. Always works.
    Some security software. Microsoft Security Essentials does an excellent job, free, works.
    I have not read or seen "the req'd software is not installed" mentioned by others, but could easily miss (new to iPod + iTunes myself and there were so many threads when iOS 5 came out).

  • How do i get my iPod to sync to iTunes?

  • Cant remember my passcode and cant get the phone to sync to itunes

    I cant remember the passcode to my iphone 4s and I can't get it to sync to iTunes to reset it either

    Hey nickynackynoonoo,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you are having issues with your passcode:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Thanks,
