  • My 5th generation iPOD isn't recognized by iTunes?

    When I plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes opens, but my iPod isn't recognized. Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions?

    By all of those suggestions, do you mean the ones I mentioned in the paragraph about or the ones in the support article I linked? Does this 5G iPod via still power on?  DId you try connecting it to another PC or Mac to see if it is recognized there?  Did you check the dock connector for any signs of debris or damage to the pins that could be preventing a connection to your PC?
    Any idea how long the average iPod should last? Ours if from 2006.
    Most people never get the iPod to last 6 years, so consider yourself lucky. That's quite a time span!

  • HT1353 2nd gen iPod isn't recognized by iTunes nor Windows - What to do?

    I have an iPod A 1019 (2nd gen?). When I connect it to the firewire connector on my PC, the unit screen shows a checkmark and "OK to disconnect." I tried to reset with Menu + Select (=nothing happened) but Menu + Play works. Still, PC + iTunes won't recognize iPod. Help? I suspect that the software on the iPod itself is too old but since the device cannot be discovered, I can't update it. I tried iPod transfer software, but nothing recognizes my oldie. Sigh.

    Hi, Griff W.!
    Thanks for taking the time to offer me the troubleshooting steps. I tried them all, but unfortunately to no avail. I can listen to the iPod, but once I connect it to my PC with the firewire cable, it still isn't recognized in iTunes or in Windows. I checked the Universal Serial Bus controllers. The iPod is nowhere to be seen. I checked the version of the software on the iPod and it's 1.5. Maybe that's the problem: the software is too old?
    BTW, the firewire cable is charging the iPod.
    Maybe if I could find someone with an old PC that has a firewire port?  But even if I were to make the iPod visible, would I be able to copy the songs onto my new iPod? From what I've been reading probably not. It's really exasperating. They music is legit, copied from my CDs or purchased.
    I am looking at my new superslim iPod Touch 5th generation and right next to it the clickwheel iPod 2nd generation that's more than a cigarette pack sized. Progress. I guess.
    Thanks for helping out. If you have any more ideas, please let me know.
    Best regards,
    D.

  • My iPod isn't recognized by iTunes and I want to update it but I can't. What do I do?

    I plug in my iPod and it will charge but I have tried everything to get iTunes to recognize it and it won't. I want to update it to IOS 5 but I need the iTunes to connect with it.

  • My ipod isn't recognized by itunes

    My ipod isn't being recognized by my itunes account. Every time I plug in my Ipod, nothing happens. My ipod doesn't have the connected screen and doesn't charge, and my computer basically doesn't acknowledge its existence at all. I've tried restarting my computer many times and have reinstalled itunes twice to no avail. Please help!

    i do not know if this works, but i found this in another post:
    I Have An Answer!!! After numerous hours of going through these posts, spending hours going through the trial and error of fixing, an answer has finally appeared!!
    This blog http://echeng.com/journal/2006/09/23/itunes-7-broke-my-ipod-nano/
    Has a solution of changing the disc format thing me jig here it is:
    Start -> Run -> compmgmt.msc
    Drill down ‘Storage’, highlight Disk Management
    Plug ipod in. Wait.
    Make sure the computer management window is the topmost window. If you don’t, you won’t be able to get in there and change the drive letter of your ipod. The ipod will disappear out of the computer management window once itunes rejects it, or accepts your acknowledgement that it’s rejecting it.
    Then I think i right clicked on the volume (or something) and changed the drive letter.
    Just to make sure windows remembered my change, I ejected the pod and plugged it in again. Looks like it was mapped to the letter I had specified. Don’t know if this setting will hold after a reboot/cold boot.
    You may want to scroll through the comments- For vista instead of run go straight to control panel, system and maintenance scroll to the bottom and create and format hard disk partitions, plug ipod in put it as G and hey presto!! hope this works for others.... before syncing with ipod if all this works you may want to download music rescue (brilliant and reliable used it a few times!) and copy all your music from the ipod after formatting.
    Really hope this helps someone out there as it did me and looking forward to hearing if it has.

  • IPod isn't recognized by iTunes and iTunes opens very slow!!

    Hey!
    So here's my very urgent problem (go on vacation tomorrow!!!):
    Everytime I click to open iTunes, it takes about 5 minutes until it opens! I have a Windows XP and have also updated iTunes to the newest software. I don't know what the problem is...
    And second, my iPod doesn't connect with iTunes, it won't be recognized by iTunes! Windows recognizes it, but iTunes doesn't. I've already tried at every USB connection, but it doesn't work! Well, once it worked and I thought that was it, but the next time it didn't work anymore!
    I've got a pink iPod mini (4 GB) and I dropped it some times, but the man in the Apple Support store said, it's got nothing to do with the hardware. Really?
    Who can help me please - very fast??!
    Thank you!
    Chrissy

    Sorry, don't real understand! ;-))
    OK, I closed all other background applications when using iTunes. But the problem is that I couldn't do the next step because iTunes always tell me: "The software required for communicating with the iPod isn't installed correctly. Please reinstall..." So I can't drag the iPod icon from my computer (and anyway: where is "my computer"??) to iTunes application (where is that one??)
    But at least it's good news that nothing's wrong with the hardware (couldn't afford a new one! ;-))
    Please reply soon, it would be real cool if you'd help me with further steps... and everyone else too of course! ;-D

  • IPod isn't recognized by iTunes (TRIED EVERYTHING!!)

    It still isn't being recognized. It's charing and recognized by Windows, it charges, and it even brings up iTunes when plugged in!

    What do you mean by everything?  Have you really tried all the things on this page? http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/  Note that the iPod should be recognized as a digital camera for the purposes of seeing the pictures taken with the iPod camera and it should be also recognized in iTunes for all other functions.

  • How come my iphone ipod isn't recognized by my car

    My iphone ipod feature is not being recognized by my car any more.  Is there some type of setting that needs to be checked/changed?

    Hello Lawrence,
    I do have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe running.
    My USBs are plugging in straight into the laptop.  All 4 work.  Just today, I synced my iPod with multiple USB ports.  It works for the iPod, but the iPhone won't pop-up.  The iPhone does not appear in iTunes as a button anywhere.
    I am unable to use another computer for this.  I can actually go into iTunes, add file to library, and add photos that way.  So, it's recognized by my computer.
    This should have been seperated.  Basically, I don't have another computer accessible to me to back-up sync on iTunes with.
    The last part means in iTunes, I can click "File > Add file to library" and the iPhone is shown as a camera icon.  I can click on it and have access to photos.  I can add those photos to the iTunes library.  That's about as far as the connectivity goes with the iPhone right now.

  • Classic iPod isn't recognized in iTunes / Cannot Sync

    My iTunes is up-to-date with 12.1.1 version.
    I have a Classic iPod that was working fine until the last 2 updates.
    Now it's not recognized and, therefore, won't sync.
    Here is what happens:
    (1)  Open iTunes.  It freezes
    (2)  Finally opens.  Plug in Classic iPod.   Sometimes icon shows sometimes not.  Have to often manually eject (Windows 7 won't let me as 'it's in use').
    (3)  Once finally showing.  Try to Sync.
    (4)  Get error message stating computer isn't authorized.  (Have already deauthorized and reauthorized several times).
    (5)  Then get message with 2 other UserIds that they need to be authorized or I will lose 40 songs.  (Have authorized those as well).
    (6)  Then get error message that device isn't recognized.  I have run diagnostics in iTunes as well,  Device isn't recognized.
    I am fairly computer savvy, but not a computer expert by any means.  I hope that this is an easy fix.   I am concerned my iPod has outlived its time with all of these new updates.  Also, wondering if there is a driver or something I need for my iPod. 
    Would appreciate any help I can get.  Thank you!

  • Ipod isn't recognized by itunes and computer but it still charges

    i've tried a hard reset but that didn't do anything.
    when i plug it into my computer i get a message saying that the USB device isn't recognized.
    so, when i look at it in device manager the ipod shows up as a unknown device
    and the device status says "there are no drivers installed for this device".
    anybody know what to do?

    Your iPod's battery may not be charged. Plug your iPod in, wait for a moment, press a button to turn it on, and check the screen. Here are some easy steps to get the most out of your battery. Note: On recent iPod models, when the battery is completely empty, your computer may not recognize your iPod for up to 30 minutes even though it's connected and charging.
