    Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
    (When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
    Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
    You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)

  • Ipod Touch version 4.2.1 not recognized by iTunes

    All I'm doing is trying to update the songs on it. I know apps and such will no longer update, but it's ridiculous that I can't plug it in and put some songs on. The iPod Touch version is 4.2.1 and my current itunes is 11.5.1. I'm currently using Mountain Lion so 10.8.5 for the computer version.
    If I need to get an earlier version of iTunes, can someone tell me how to get it on there? Do I have to get rid of the current itunes version or what?

    The current version of iTunes is bacward compatible with all iPods.

  • IPod Shuffle (4G / 4th Generation) w/ Software Version 1.0.1, iTunes does not find 1.0.2 update

    I have an iPod Shuffle (4G / 4th Generation / A1373) running Software Version 1.0.1. I know that version 1.0.2 is available. However, iTunes says that there is no update for it. I have reset the iPod Shuffle and tried everything I can think of.
    Any advice / information would be greatly appreciated.

    My 1.0.1 is not being recognized by the latest version of Itunes...11.1.3.  Really getting fed up with Apples "upgrades" obsoleting other hardware and software...particularly their own.

  • I have had my ipod 4th generation for a year now and had not had any problems until now. My ipod no longer connects to my WiFi. i have reset my network settings, forgot my network and followed all of Apple's advice. Any ideas?

    The WiFi isn't working on my 4th generation anymore. I have several devices connected to the WiFi which two of them are iPhone 5 that haven't had ant problems with WiFi. I have had my iPod for a year. I have tried everything and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod Not Recognized After iTunes 7.0 Upgrade

    Hello
    My 5th generation iPod was synching just fine with iTunes 6.0.5. Then, I upgraded to 7.0 and it's no longer recognized, though Windows sees the device just fine. I followed the troubleshooting steps at article 93716 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716), to no avail. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck. What a mistake, and my 90 of "complimentary" support ended a couple days ago.
    I have a reasonably powerful system with adequate resources (1 GB RAM, 2.53 GHz, 120 GB storage - 50% free) and very few other services being loaded - only the basics. I installed with Antivirus, Firewall, Antispyware off.
    So now I only have two choices - restore an earlier disk image backup, or reinstall from the original disk.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

    I ran it twice for you. First result is after rebooting the computer with the iPod plugged in.

  • 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.

  • IPod is stucked in apple screen and it's not recognized at iTunes, iPod is stucked in apple screen and it's not recognized at iTunes

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation and a windows7 machine; and it's stucked in apple screen. And it's not reconized in iTunes program. Please, help.

    this just happened to me as well. i've found several other threads here that amount to people with the same problem. the posts are all from this week and no one has goten an answer yet. the phone help amounted to the 'hold the sleep and home buttons' advice that only puts you right where you already are: looking at the 'connect to itunes' picture. then my help guy says 'let me ask a supervisor' and basically hangs up on me.
    this is the second time for me, though, so i already know that if you go into the store they can do the restore there. what i want is advice on how to prevent this without just refusing all future updates.

  • Iphone not recognized by itunes/can't upgrade itunes/ don't want to upgrade software

    After having my iphone 3g "fixed" in the apple store and connecting it to one of their brand new computers, my itunes no longer recognizes my iphone and says I need to upgrade to new Itunes which I can't do because I only have the Tiger version of software.  Is there anything I can do so my iphone can go back to normal without purchasing updated software?

    I am having a similar problem. I am attempting to install the airport extreme card in my ibook g4. The computer is not recognizing the card and now it isn't recognizing the iphone. If I remove the airport card then itunes recognizes the iphone. I have the original phone with the 2.01 update. I'm stumped.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod touch (4th generation) to my computer if it was not purchased in iTunes

    Recently, my PC was reset to factory settings and obviously, my music was not kept on my computer. I understand that iTunes can recover music that was purchased through iTunes, but that is not the case. If I downloaded or ripped music to my computer from any outside source, how can I restore this to my computer. Help is greatly appreciated. thanks

    You will have to use a third party soft such as disk aid (digidna.net/products/diskaid) or iexplorer (macroplant.com/iexplorer)
    Hope this helps

  • IPod touch 3rd gen stuck on white screen and not recognized in iTunes

    So basically I dropped my iTouch in water, removed it and left in a bag of rice for 2 weeks and now the screen is a gray/white colorway and won't show up in iTunes. I've tried doing a hard reset but I can't see if that even works or has done anything. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions for me!?

    Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

  • Can you make IOS 7 for the iPod 4th Generation please?

    Can you make iOS 7 for the IPod 4th generation because to be honest it's not fair to us iPod 4th Generation users that the iPod 5 and the IPhone users get to have it but we don't

    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

  • HT1430 We tried resetting my ipod 4th generation touch using above directions with no luck.  Any other ideas?

    We tried resetting ipod 4th generation using Apple instructions.  It will not turn on, but shows the charging symbol, with little to no battery power no matter how long it charged.  Any ideas?  We've had this for less than 5 months.
    Thank you!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    and
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Anyone have any suggestions why I can't complete the update on iphone 4 yet I was successful in updating ipod 4th generation, thanks

    You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes.  When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6
