Or
See

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or                     
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Ipod does not show up in I-tunes and does not allow me to Restore

    My Ipod does not show up in I-tunes since I switched from my desktop to the laptop. When I connect to the laptop I-tunes freezes and stops responding. I have tried to update or restore my I-pod to start anew with my laptop but I get a message that says "Firmware update failure, disk write error"! My ipod still works but I cannot update my songs or sync it to the new laptop. Am I totally out of luck or can something be done to save this. Dont these come with a year warranty? Can Apple fix this if it is beyond my help?

    well done pezdzpnzer!
    Unfortunately I am not able to take advantage of the USB 2.0. Is this permanent or did I just have to turn it off originally.
    hmmm. now the initial synch has gone through, we might try experimenting with re-enabling the high speed interface (mentioned at the end of the other document.
    it may also be worth checking up on this document:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    if the problem comes back/persists, it might be worth heading to the Toshiba website and checking for updates for your make and model. on some Toshiba laptops there was a general issue with the USB that was fixed by a BIOS update, and that helped with the ipod connection issues ... but the reports i saw here (a few months ago) didn't mention a specific model as far as i recall.
    merry christmas!

  • HELP: Lost all my music and my ipod does not show up in I-Tunes.

    Okay, my Ipod was stuck on Do Not Disconnect. I rebooted it by hold menu and middle button. Well now the problem is that all my music is gone. I hooked it up to the computer so I could sync it again in itunes thinking that the music would reappear. But i can't do that cause my ipod isn't showing up in I-tunes. I double checked to make sure it's plugged up, but nothing? How do I get I-tunes and the computer to recogize my i-pod.
    PLEAS HELP

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
    Putting iPod into disk mode.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • My i-pod does not work ever since i-tunes 7 came out

    there seems to be a trend here and i want to know waht apple plans on doing about it. whenever i connect my i-pod my whole pc locks up untill i disconnect it. i was quoted $270 to have it fixed on apple.com. i could just buy another i-pod for that price. maybe i will get a microsoft zune. i am so discouraged with apple now. if anyone can help it would be nice.

    See if this helps
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

  • I-pod shuffle 1 will not show up in i-tunes or my computer - HELP!!!

    I have the first version of the i-pod shuffle and was using version 9 of i-tunes without any problem until the computer died - the hard drive had to be replaced.
    I have reloaded the software for the i-pod and i-tunes but when I connect the i-pod it does not show up on 'My Computer' and does not show up in i-tunes. A message does appear when I first plug the i-pod in asking me whether I want to overwrite the library on the i-pod with the library on i-tunes but beyond that it does not seem to register it's existence.
    Furthermore I tried the suggestion of removing the i-pod, stopping the service through the i-pod device properties and then re-connecting the i-pod. When I do this the i-pod appears in 'My Computer,' however when I click to start services or open i-tunes, the i-pod dissapears again?
    So many people seem to have this and related problems but there never seems to be a solution? Re-setting, re-starting and re-installing does nothing either.
    Please help!

    have you tried updating the fix version or the iTunes 9.1? they say it can recognize the 1st gen.

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

  • How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

    How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
    Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
    After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
    So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
    I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
    I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
    I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
    Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

    Thank you for responding.
    This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
    but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
    is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

    Why when using Adobe Bridge,  I apply a star rating,   the rating does not show up in Photoshop Elements.  I use Elements as my organizer and Bridge to view as it is much more user friendly.  Anyone any solutions??

    Most likely you have set the wrong file as the external editor. You don't want the obvious one; that's just a link to the welcome screen. Go back and choose this one, which is hidden away inside the folder Support Files:
