Ipad not recognized by windows neither iTunes after error in the iOS5 upgrade

The iOS5 upgrade was stopped due to an error.
Since then the iPad is not being recognized by windows neither iTunes. I've re-installed iTunes, the file usbaapl.sys is at windows\system32\drivers and Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers folders but still there's an error when I plug in the iPad - Apple Mobile Device (Recovery) - This device can not start (code10).
I've call the support here in Brazil and the only information that I got was that this was due to the fact that I'm running windows XP and it doesn't support iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5. Can any one confirm this? Why there's no information on this when I installed the 10.5 version and downloaded the iOS 5?
Any help would be highly apreciated because now I have my iPad asking to be connected to iTunes and no chance to get a PC with a different version of Windows...

Glad you got it fixed - and I wasn't trying to be a wise guy.
It just seemed logical to me that if iTunes recognized the iPad and the iPhone - but they didn't show un in your Windows Devices Manager or Explorer or whatever it's called - that it was probably a Windows thing.
Now you must truly be a HappyMommy!

Device not recognized by Windows or iTunes - Blinking green light

When I try to connect my iPod shuffle to my computer (Windows XP), it's not recognized by Windows or iTunes. (i.e. device does not appear in Windows explorer or iTunes) While in the USB port, the Shuffle's green light blinks incessantly. My wife uses an iPod on this machine (under separate user name) and has no problems.
I've tried updating software (iTunes, iPod), restarting my computer and resetting the iPod to no avail. My machine is not on a network. The USB port(s) work fine as I can use my memory stick (no USB cable) with no problems. I've tried connecting my Shuffle under my user name as well as my wife's. Same problem.
Also, I had my Shuffle setup on an old computer (PC, Windows 2000) and it still works fine plugging into that. (I'm getting rid of it soon, hence why I'm discovering these new problems).
Please advise. Since my Shuffle is over a year old, I am not eligible for online chat or phone support without paying for an Apple Support agreement.
I know there's another thread with the same issue that was not resolved on the discussion board.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Recently I used my ipod at work all night, just like normal. After work on the way home, like normal, I plugged it into my aux port on my car's head unit, and plugged it into power. 10 minutes later, in the middle of going over Ortgea Highway(hiway 74 between Orange and Riverside Counties), it just suddenly stopped working. When I plug it into any of my computers at home, nothing happens, it is not recognized or seen. When I plug it into power, it displays either a "sad ipod icon" or a battery with exclamation mark(!) icon. I have brand new power adapters both for the car and home, plus brand new usb cables, thinking that would help. It hasn't and now, since I opened those packages, I am out that $$ and ******. Since I received this unit as payment for electrical services rendered, I have no idea how old it is. Does anyone have any ideas? ([email protected])

Ipon not recognized in windows or itunes

my ipod is not recognized in windows or itunes, but i have a shuffle that is able to be recognized. when i connect my classic to the computer it starts charging but that is it. i know there is a 5r repair but i have yet to do it bc if i have to reinstall itunes i am worried about my music and whether or not i will have to re-add all my music again manually. i have several thousand songs that i have all the artwork for and all song info poosible and it would just take forever. any help would be great. thanks.

I had the same problem just after downloading latest version of itunes. 5 r's didnt work. Device was recognized on my daughters's computer. I also got windows error saying new hardware would not work properly. I eventually got advice to update the ipod driver by going through start menu and'Control panel' (with a right) click and finding "ipod" under device manager. Right click on that and select update. Once it was done my ipod was recognized by both itunes and computer. Now seems to be working fine and no loss of library/music. Hope this may be of some use

Replacement Shuffle Still Not Recognized In Windows Or iTunes

Hello everyone,
I was having the orange/green light issue and my 512MB shuffle was not recognized in Windows or iTunes 7.0.1. I contacted Apple and they replaced my shuffle - after I attempted all documented fixes and running the Shuffle Reset Utility.
I plugged the replacement in and received the message "xxx iPod shuffle cannot be updated. The required disk cannot be found." I found an article on how to remove some temp and application files. I did that and also ran "checkdisk" on my laptop and that error went away. The problem is now the shuffle is not recognized in iTunes or Windows once again. The shuffle did come up for less than 10 seconds as the "F" drive and then disappeared and could not be relocated.
Here is the real rub for me - I plugged the shuffle into my wife's laptop running iTunes 7.0.1 and it works just fine!! Since my laptop is my primary - this is still a major issue for me.
Does anyone have a fix for this? This has to be a Windows disk or driver issue.
Does anyone have a fix for this type of issue? It is obviously a Windows disk or driver issue.

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.

Still no joy, see these.

Ipod not recognized in windos and itunes after udating software

My ipod was working just fine. But then itunes said that my ipod software was not updated so I went ahead and updated, after that is not recognized in windows and itunes.it does not even turn on, when i press a button in the screen apears a electric plug, like if it was saying connect to charge. but the only thing that happens when i plug it to the computer is that the same plug apears again in the screen.
thank you for your help

If your iPod is showing a picture that looks like the wall plug, then it does need to be connected to the USB wall charger. Sometimes other devices that will charge the iPod (such as a car charger or a docking station) will do the trick.
If you're near any Apple retail stores you could take your iPod there and see if they have one they can connect your iPod to for you, and then you'll have it up and running again.

5th Gen Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes. Have tried it all. Any Ideas?

Hello everyone. I have a 5th generation Ipod I recently purchased that I'm having what seems to be an common issue. When I connect the ipod to my computer via USB, the Ipod is not recognized in windows or Itunes. Occasionally the Ipod will charge when connected but not always. Though this is the same for the old wire I used and the new one I purchased today. Even when shown charging the Ipod is not recognized and there is no noise that a device has been connected. I have tried the 4 R's (without Restore) which I can't do, chaninging the drive letter, disabling start up software,uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple Software. I have tried connecting to another computer and have gotten the same result. When I check the diagnostic screen on the ipod it shows that a usb cable is detected. I have upgraded all my driver software, disabled and reenabled them. I'm almost 3 hours from the nearest store so that it out of the question. I'm curious if anyone has any other ideas and will try anything you think might be the issue and fix. Thank you for time.

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes

OK here's a humdinger: my ipod used to be recognized by my computer (meaning Windows XP), but then abruptly stopped in a catastrophic meltdown that completely wiped my ipod of everything -- didn't even show the menu. Fastforward, ipod is replaced. Windows will still not recognize it -- most of the time. The toolbar says USB device detected and hardware installed and ready to use, but the message that it's not recognized by Windows still appears. Now I said it was recognized sometimes. When it magically is (this is my only description for it because there is no apparent reason), and this is rare, usually after the computer has been turned off for awhile, the ipod will sync through about a fifth of my library then quit. The "disc cannot be found" message appears, and Windows stops recognizing and I'm back to square one. One would think that I now at least have a fifth of my songs on the ipod. Nope, just one for each time this has happened (being 2). Please do not respond with anything having to do with updating or uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, disabling USB 2.0, searching for E:\ drive, Windows Update, the whole appleipod.bat thing, updating itunes, or scanning for new hardware as I have tried these and a few other solutions. I'm just wondering if I'm completely, well, you know. Thanks for your time.

Songs disappeared - iPod not recognized in Windows or iTunes

Hi, I have had a 5th generation iPod for 8 months now and have a big problem:
After I charged it in a wall plug, all the songs disappeared from my iPod. It has happened to me once in the past but the songs then reappeared... don't know how that happened. Now, songs are all gone and Windows and iTunes won't recognize my iPod. I have reset it and since then, the screen keeps changing from the main menu to the Apple logo and then back to the main menu. My iPod will then be recognized in Windows for a few seconds, while the main menu is displayed on the screen, and then disappear. I have put it into disk mode and only then will Windows recognize it, but not iTunes. I have then restarted the iPod Service via Computer Management but once I reset my iPod to remove it from the disk mode, it continued changing from the main menu to the Apple logo. Since the problem seems to be with my iPod and not with iTunes, I have not tried to delete iTunes and reinstall it.
Thanks for your help!!

Ipad not recognized by Windows

When I connect iPad through my USB cable, Windows gives me an error that the USB device is not recognized - I have connected this way many times before with no problems?

Try a reset and see if it's recognised properly after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
And/or, if you haven't already done so, has your computer got another USB port that you could try ?

IPod not recognized by Windows or iTunes- Please Help!!!

I have had my ipod mini since last summer and so far it has worked flawlessly. However, recently, when I connect my iPod to my computer, it does not charge and is not recognized as being plugged it at all.
The iPod displays a battery icon although it does not move. I read on the site that this is because the battery is low and needs up to 30 minutes charging time for it to be recognized. However, I have had the iPod plugged in for much longer than this and it still is unrecognized.
Also, every once and a while, the display shifts from the static battery icon into the APPPLE icon. Along with the icon, the iPod itself makes a strange mechanical noise. It sounds something like "doo-di-doo-di-doo-di" Then it displays the SAD IPOD icon with the apple.com/support/ipod website underneath, before starting the cycle over again.
I have tried everything on the site, including putting it in disk mode (which didn't work).
Is it perhaps an internal problem? I don't understand why a perfetly good ipod would stop working all of a sudden. It is still covered by the warranty it came with on purchase, so if it needs fixing, will apple fix it at no cost?
Any help is appreciated!!
Windows XP

If you have tried everything in these articles, then it needs service.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
Sad iPod icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
PC doesn't recognize the iPod is connected.
The sad iPod icon is usually indicative of a hard drive problem, and if under warranty will be repaired/replaced free of charge, although after 6 months of the warranty has expired there is a handling charge.

iphone not recognized in windows or itunes

My iPhone 5 was not being recognized by two different computers, windows 7 and windows 8.1. My wife's iphone 5 had no issues. I followed all the advice on-line from re-installing iTunes, resetting my phone ( as new and backed up from cloud), device manager troubleshooting, re-install drivers, different cables, different ports. Oddly enough in the fianl analysis my iPhone only gets recognized when the cable is insert in one way into the phone. Flip the cable and it goes straight to "unknown device". Doesn't matter which cable I use, it only works on one side. My wife's works both ways. I can't explain it, but there it is. I put a dot with a permanent marker on the cable to identify which side goes up.
