I deleted some Apple software, now iTunes won't recognize my iPod

So earlier today I removed Bonjour, and the Apple Mobile Device from my computer. Now all of a sudden iTunes won't recognize my iPod, but windows does. Could this issue be related to removing the software from my computer?

Take a look at this web page and see if it helps:
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
Good luck.

I deleted something off finder now itunes won't recognize device

i deleted a file off itunes and now itunes won't recognize them what should i do??

Without you telling ua the name of the file you delete there isn't much we can do to help you.
If you don't know the name of the file, your only alternative would be to take it to the Apple Store and ask them to fix,

I updated to ios6 and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod. I have done all the roubleshooting suggested but still no go.

Ever since the ios6 update, my iPod is unresponsive and iTunes doesn't recognize the device. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and stillno change. I have followed all the recommended steps from the apple support page. Any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I tried your suggestion with my iPhone and it fixed the connection problem for the iPhone. So then I tried the same thing with my iPod but Windows told me that the driver was up to date. The iPod still will not connect to iTunes 11.4.1. Any other ideas?
See the further information section of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. The link there on device connectivity might help, or you might need to tear down and rebuild again.

I installed the latest iTunes update. Now iTunes won't recognize my iPod. I tried every step in the trouble-shooting list and nothing works. Apple wants to charge me $35 just to ask them a question. What should i do?

I am having this same issue. I have avoided updating it for months and now that I finally did this is what happens!! My Ipod goes into charge mode, but then as soon as iTunes opens up to sync it says it knows there is an ipod connected but does not recognize it and it will stop charging and just go to the main screen that comes up when you turn ipod on. I even tried Uninstalling and reinstalling like it says and that doesn't work. When I uninstall it, it will let my ipod charge when I connect it to computer. But as soon as I install iTunes again and try to connect it, it tells me the same thing. Now I know why I never update to newer versions, so angry right now. Apple needs to fix this problem cause I've had my ipod for less than a year!!

TS3716 I downloaded the new version of iTunes today and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod. Windows can see it but iTunes can't see it so it won't sync.

Before the update was applied all was fine. I rebooted both the PC and the iPod with no success. I reinstalled iTunes and rebooted with no success. I tried different cables and different slots for the cable, none worked.

I changed the drive letter on my iPod and now iTunes won't recognize it!

Help please! I contacted an Apple associate and they told me to change the drive letter of my iPod in My Computer. I did that and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all and I can't change the drive letter back to the original one. What do I do?

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.

I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. now iTunes won't recognize my iphone, and the upgrading the software keeps crashing.. help!!

Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Do you use iTunes Match?
That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...
Look here for further information: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning all off, and on. I have the newest version of itunes. Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning everything off and restarting. I have the latest version of itunes. If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean? Will I lose anything? How long will it take? thanks

Start iTunes. Make sure you really are running the version you think you are. Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.
Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311 - read section on Opening iTunes for information about running multiple copies of iTunes.
You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8 If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.
