I recently updated itunes to version 11.1.3.8. Now itunes does not recognize my ipod touch, my laptop does though. What do i do?

Is there a way that i can downgrade itunes to a version lower than 11.1.3.8 because it was working perfectly fine back then. Now i can't download any music.

I would start with

or

Hi all,
itunes does not recognize my ipod touch 5th gen but it does recognize my ipod touch 3rd gen.?
Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, itunes 10.7.0.21, ipod 5th gen ios 8.3. I know I am not running the latest version of itunes for the
ipod touch 5 gen. but at least with itunes open I would get a message stating cannot connect this ipod because I am not running the
lastest version of itunes. That message would come up everytime I was charging said ipod with itunes open. I just updated to iso 8.3
and now I don't get that message anymore when I have itunes open.I tried turning off ipod/computer/restarting, nothing. I tried going
to administrator/services/apple moble device and stop/start service nothing. Device manager shows the drivers are installed.
Any info will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit

Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit. Is this a driver issue? Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

hi sally,
see if this user tip by Yorkwill helps:
+In the end what works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:+
+1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in+
+and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really+
+matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).+
+2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:+
+o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)+
+o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).+
+o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!+
+You should find the driver info in a sub folder of+
+C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B+
+Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder+
+name into note pad – you’ll need it later)+
+If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not+
+been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.+
+3. Locate the ipod-camera device:+
+o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >+
+Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager+
+o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as+
+‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.+
+4. Update the driver:+
+o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on+
+‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.+
+o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’+
+o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check+
+‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.+
+In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder+
+containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example+
+above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), +
+then click Next.+
+You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue+
+installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come+
+to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.+

After updating iTunes for window 8.1 iTunes does not recognize my ipod touch

My laptop updated to iTunes version 11.1.4. And now when i hook up my ipod or iphone, itunes does not see it. My laptop still sees both but now i cant download songs to either device. Any ideas anybody?

Re: Upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and now it won't recognize my iPhone Sep 18, 2013 2:15 PM (in response to davidsh_seattle) I was able to fix it! iTunes can now see my iPhone5. I followed these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 And re-installed the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". • Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu. • Click "Browse my computer for driver software." • Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." • Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.) • In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button. • Use this window to navigate to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. • Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead). • Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. • Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly. this worked to sync my iphone 5. not i4 or i3 phones(now ipods) In Device Manager I also noticed I had 3 apple drivers under Portable devices. I deleted two of them. I updated the remaining driver, now I can sync my i5, i4 and i3. You may have to View hidden devices.

Itunes 9.1 does not recognize my ipod touch

I have pc, windows 7 32bit cpu. itunes 9.1 doesn not recognize my new ipod touch. I want to down load my music from my computer to my ipod

You need iTunes 10 to work with any recent iPod touch, and iTunes 10.5 to work with one that has iOS 5, so you need to upgrade your version of iTunes.

Itunes does not recognize my ipod touch in devices

Itunes does not recognize my Ipods

I am running Windows Vista 64bit. All of a sudden, my itunes does not recognize my Ipod touch or Ipod Nano. As a matter of fact, I am not sure they ever connected since I installed 10.5.1. I have tried to uninstall and install itunes like Apple suggests several times but I get the same result. I have had the installation fail by not installing Apple Mobile Device Support so I somehow managed to install it eventually. However, the result is the same. Still not recognizing my IPODs. The Ipods are recongized by Windows as I can see them in the Windows Explorer with no trouble.
I tried to go back to 10.3.x and it did not work because it did not recognize something created from a newer version of itunes. So although it looked like it installed, it never opened.
How do you fix this? Is there a way to install an older version of Itunes without loosing any data?

I believe my problem is related to an incomplete uninstall of itunes. I folled the directions in the Apple support pages but I have a feeling those directions are not complete. I found this page on the interntet on how to completely remove itunes:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
and I was wondering if anyone had used this or something similar. Anyone know anything about this procedure?

Why ITunes do not recognize my iPod Touch

Hi everybody!
I have an IPod Touch and for some weeks, I have big problems with ITunes I can not solve. Let me explain:
Initially, it worked fine. Then one day, decided that ITunes does not recognize my IPod Touch, more precisely it do not read more.
When I plug my IPod Touch, ITunes tries to read it and then a message appears saying: «ITunes can not read the contents of the IPod xxxx». Then they told me to restore my IPod to restore the original settings, I tried but it did not work either because after a while a message appears telling me that my internet connection failed while yet it works!!?!!
Then I tried to solve the problem in the tab «Help» ITunes under «establish a diagnosis» and then the test tells me that there is no IPod detected while my IPod is plugged and recognized in Windows Vista. It tells me: «ITunes could not connect to the IPod xxxx because the record is missing the match.» What does that mean??
I also tried everything in the Apple support and nothing worked. My IPod ans ITunes are up to date. I even uninstalled ITunes and any Apple product for the reinstalled everything but it still does not work.
Does anyone can help me??
I confess that I am discouraged and frustrated.
Thank you in advance!

Bonjour tout le monde!
J'ai un IPod Touch et depuis quelques semaines, j'ai de gros problèmes avec ITunes que je n'arrive pas à résoudre. Je vous explique:
Au départ, tout fonctionnait bien. Puis un jour, ITunes a décidé qu'il ne reconnait plus mon IPod Touch, plus précisémment il ne le lie plus. Lorsque je branche mon IPod Touch, ITunes essaie de le lire puis un message s'affiche me disant: «ITunes ne peut pas lire le contenu de l'IPod xxxx». Puis on me dit de restaurer mon IPod afin de rétablir les paramètres d'origine, ce que j'ai essayé mais ça ne fonctionne pas non plus car après un temps un message s'affiche me disant que ma connexion internet a échoué alors que pourtant elle fonctionne!!?!!
Puis, j'ai essayé de résoudre le problème dans l'onglet «aide» d'ITunes sous établir un diagnostique et là, le test me dit qu'il n'y a aucun IPod détecté alors que mon IPod est bien branché et reconnu dans Windows Vista. On me dit aussi: « ITunes n'a pu se connecter à l'IPod xxxx car l'enregistrement du jumelage est manquant». Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire??
J'ai aussi tout essayer dans le support d'Apple et rien n'a fonctionné. Mon IPod et ITunes sont à jour. J'ai même désinstallé ITunes et tout les produit Apple pour tout réinstallé mais ça ne fonctionne toujours pas. :-(
Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider??!!
J'avoue que je suis découragée et frustrée.
Merci d'avance!

Recently updated Numbers to Version 3.5.2 and now also seem to have Numbers Version 2.0 on my launchpad? Can anyone explain how this has happened - how do I get rid of it?

Recently updated Numbers to Version 3.5.2 and now also seem to have Numbers Version 2.0 on my launchpad? Can anyone explain how this has happened - how do I get rid of it? Not able to move to Trash.

What is strange however is that my iMac is only a few months old and they all were upgraded to V3.x just a few months ago - with all Apps for iWork removed at that time.
Unless you did something specific to remove the old versions of the iWork apps (not advisable) then, as Wayne points out, they were not actually removed from your Mac, just moved into that subfolder within your main Applications folder.
I originally downloaded Numbers 2.x from the App Store (i.e. didn't install from a disk). I still have it on my Mac. But only Numbers 3.x appears in Launchpad.
I don't know whether this will help, but in Mac App Store you might try clicking 'Account' under 'Quick Links' on the right, signing in with your password, and clicking the 'Reset' button to the right of 'Reset all warnings for buying and downloading'. Sometimes the App Store gets a little confused. It's possible Launchpad may be taking its cue from the App Store in showing that old version of Numbers.
By Launchpad I assume you really mean Launchpad, not the Dock. I usually use the Dock. If that's what you're using too, then of course you can just drag the icon for the old Numbers off the Dock and it will vanish. (But the Numbers 2.3 application will still be there in that subfolder when you need it.)

I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod Touch. It says the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver cannot be installed.

I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod touch. After the update I got a message that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver could not be installed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times, but still cannot fix the problem. I have followed the suggested fixes in Apple Support. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Try the actions here for that driver.

well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

I recently updated itunes to version 11.1.3.8. Now itunes does not recognize my ipod touch, my laptop does though. What do i do?
