I had to reinstall Itunes. Now my ipod is not being recognized. When I plug my Iphone in to Itunes it is recognized.

I had to reinstall Itunes. That was successful. When I plug in my Iphone it shows up in devices. However, when I plug in my Ipod it does not show up in the devices and it does not automatically synch. What do I need to do?
Thanks,
Allen

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

My ipod is not being reconized when I plug it in to my pc , why?

HI, if anyone can help, I appreciate it, I tried to return it but lost the receipt and I bought it a week ago so that kinda stings. Ok my PC froze today like it did a million times before and I had to restore it, after I restored it I tried to hooki up my ipod and it said usb device not reconized. When I clicked on that it said device is not reconized by windows. I tried different usb ports and the same thing keeps happening, but the ipod works when I hook it up to my 360 and all my songs are still on there. I also tried re installing itunes and that didn't work either. If anyone knows what I can do please help. Thanks.

I just got home from my dad's house and my ipod works fine on his PC, so I thought maybe my usb ports are faulty but all my other devices work on all my ports, the only thing that dosent work is my pod, so my pc isn't busted. If anyone knows what I can do please let me know, thanks for the help.

Randomly when I plug my Iphone 4s into Itunes it will tell me that it can't detect my phone and that I need to restore it. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe every two weeks.

Randomly when I plug my Iphone 4s into Itunes it will tell me that it can't detect my phone and that I need to restore it. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe every two weeks.I restore it and then it works for a while, but then a couple weeks later I'll plug it in and I get the same message again. It's very frustrating because even though I have all the settings to save to cloud, my apps and data don't all come back.

Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

I just downloaded latest version of Itunes and now my Ipod does not show up when I connect to Itunes, I just downloaded latest version of Itunes and now my Ipod does not show up when I connect to Itunes

I recently downloaded the latest version of Itunes. As soon as that was finalized, my Ipod stopped showing up on the screen when I was in Itunes and I can't sync new songs and audiobooks to it. How do I get my Ipod to work again? It charges up and plays just fine, it will not sync or update with Itunes. There is nothing showing on Itunes that I can manually sync it, either. That option can't be clicked on. I have no other devices other than the Ipod that syncs with Itunes now, I used to have an Iphone, but I don't anymore

Itunes does not open automatically when I plug in iphone?

ITunes does not open automatically when I put my device via the USB cord into my computer. Even though I checked that box in I tunes

1. open up applications, and right click the itunes icon.
2. select 'show package contents'
3. open the contents folder
4. open the resources folder
5. scroll down until you find the ItunesHelper icon.
6. Now open up your system preferences.
7. select accounts
8. select login items
9. now drag the ItunesHelper icon into the login items screen
10. This will now put the ituneshelper app into the startup items.

How do I get iTunes to NOT CONNECT AUTOMATICALLY when I plug my iPhone into my computer?

I just want to charge my iPhone. Having iTunes load everytime I plug it in slows my computer until iTunes is fully loaded, which takes a while on my older computer. For some reason, I am unable to find an answer to this simple question!
I appreciate the help!

Sounds like a hardware problem. Take it to the nearest Apple Store.

If i update my iphone 3g with ituns now what firmware do i "get"?, if i update my iphone 3g with ituns now what firmware do i "get"?, if i update my iphone 3g with ituns now what firmware do i "get"?

I haven't updated my iPhone 3G for a long time because i had an iPhone 4, which i actually lost, so i wanted to update my 3G device with the latest software but my question is which firmware i will "get" because actually the latest update isn't compatible with 3G devices or am i wrong?

The latest firmware [4.3.3] will not install, so the "Restore" function will write 4.2.1 and nothing later. The restore is related to the iPhone that is currently attached to iTunes not the missing iPhone4; your backup files for iPhone4 will not be used. It will be as if you are setting up the iPhone 3G from the beginning.

Why don't I get the wifi sync option when I plug my iphone 4? (itunes 10.5 and iOS5 up to date)

I have my iphone conected to my IMac and itunes software and Iphone software up to date (10.5 and iOs5) but I don´t get the wifi Sync option on my Iphone summary. Any ideas?

It's not listed as an option. If you are seeing your iPhone in iTunes then thats it. You just click sync. (It works exactly the same way as if it was plugged in)
