Iphone and 3 ipods not registering with iTunes since upgrading to version 10.4!

Good day and thanks for your help.  AppleCare has been unable to solve or identify my problem.  Since upgrading to version 10.4 I am unable to have my iphone or ipods be recognized in iTunes.  I have deleted and reloaded iTunes four times, as instructed by my AppleCare tech.  I still cannot see any devices in iTunes.  I am running a Dell Latitude D620 with XP, Service Pack 3.  My device manager shows all USB ports are active and working properly.  I have tried multiple Apple sync cables.  My phone and cable work fine on my wife's laptop, so I do not believe it is a hardware issue with the cable or phone.
I heard a rumor that I need USB 2.0 ports for version 10.4.  I believe my ports are version 1.  Is this true?  If so, how can I find and reinstall iTunes version 10.3.
Thank you for your time and assistance.  I am extremely frustrated by this process!

  • Iphone and ipod not recognized in itunes

    I have been trying to get help here for a week and no luck. I have followed every step in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125 and others and am still stuck. Both my iphone and ipod (classic) charge, but will not appear in itunes. They both charge and my iphone can be viewed in another computer. I cannot even view anything in this iphone on this computer any longer.
    PLEASE! This is driving me insane here. I have no idea what else to try here.
    Both the ipod and iphone otherwise work normally.

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • After the latest update of iTunes does my iPhone and iPod not connect to iTunes but connects fine to Windows?

    I recently updated iTunes and when I went to put music on my iPod, however, iTunes could not pick anything up even though windows was. I then tried my iPhone and I had the same issue. I have gone through the steps off this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, and my problem was not solved. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and got nothing. What should I do now?

    I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and got nothing. What should I do now?
    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • Why does my iPod not register with iTunes when I plug it in?

    My iPod has been having a continual preoblem, where it shuffles through my entire library, song by song, and stops at each one for about a second each. It has happened a few other times. I plug it into my pc to try to correct the problem, but my iPod doesn't reister with my iTunes. Does anyone know what's wrong? I'm beginning to think I have a defective iPod.

    have you tried resetting it Resetting

  • IPod not recognized in iTunes since upgrading/downgrading

    Please, can someone help me. My iPod nano is 6 months old and worked fine until I upgraded iTunes to 7.0 and then it was no longer recognized by iTunes. Over several weeks of using Apple support pages & forums this is what I've tried:
    *Installed iTunes version 7.0.2
    *Restarted the iPod Service thru My Computer
    *Uninstalled iTunes 7.0.2 & deleted all itunesPrefs & iTunesLibrary files
    *Emptied the Temp directory
    *Turned off "fast user switching" in windows
    *Download iTunes version 6.0.5
    *Disabled third party System Services & Start Up Items
    *Plugged in iPod & got message "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPods software."
    *Installed Ipod Updater 2006-06-28, restarted computer & updated the iPod
    Still iTunes does not recognize the iPod. I am afraid to use the Updater to restore because it will delete the songs on the iPod & it still might not be recognized in iTunes.
    Please, any suggestions? I'm ready to give up.

    Something I forgot to add:
    Before I downgraded to iTunes 6.0.5, I plugged a relatives iPod into my computer. It showed up in My Computer and also in iTunes.

    You've managed to permanently damage the phone. As gdgmacguy suggests, buy a new one. Preferably from a legitimate source.
    You may also want to keep in mind that it is illegal to use the Gevey SIM in pretty much every country on the planet. It may still be legal on the continent of antarctica, but that's only because penguins don't use cell phones as a rule.

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

  • HT4623 iPhone 4s will not register with server after iOS 6 update

    My iPhone 4s will not register with server after iOS 6 update.  Does anyone has similar problem?

    Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer.  As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum.  Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
    Thanks, and best of luck to you.

  • IPod not updating with iTunes

    When I plug my iPod into the computer, it is not updating with iTunes.
    The software version on iTunes is 1.2.1 and is the same on my iPod.
    I did have a relapse last evening, as my iPod got confused. It stalled, so I had to drain the battery and recharg it. When I plugged it in today to the computer, it is not updating with iTunes - and I did update it to 7.1 version of iTunes, but the software version still says 1.2.1.
    It also says my ipod is up to date with iTunes.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Donnie

    See if there's any help here.
