  • HT1363 iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by computer

    I've uninstalled and installed iTunes, gone through the 5Rs, attempted all the USB ports, restarted the computer, attempted putting the iPod in Disk Mode, and I'm now going to put my iPod on YouTube with a shameful sign on it to punish it until it connects to my computer and uploads my new music! Can someone help me make these two devices communicate. BTW, the cable is functional, too. Thanks.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 another cable              
    - 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.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen - not recognized by computer or itunes.  Shows cable pointing to itunes logo.  Can't reset it.  Doesn't work at all.  Have tried all the supposed fixes on the apple site with no luck.  It suggested asking other users !

    I have a 3rd Generation ipod touch that is not recognized by itunes or my computer.  My itunes works with other apple devices I own.  I cannot reset the ipod touch and can never get to the screen where it is supposed to show a red battery to turn it off.  I can't reset it.  Have tried to use the suggestions on the apple site to no avail.  Any suggestions ?

    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?

  • My iPod 5th Generation is not powering on

    I need your help everyone. My iPod 5thGen is not working. What happened was battery was at around 20% and since I was playing, I decided to charge it. I connected it to the wall outlet but it wasn't doing anything, So I decided to remove the cable and pushed through playing letting the battery drained, And so it did, I connected it again but still no response. I've done the typical reset (holding the power and home button at the same time) but nothing happens. It just happened I think within the day I updated the software, just before christmas of 2014.
    I wanted to have a local Apple store to check it however I'm afraid of how much would it cost. My dad just bought it in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last first week of September of 2014 and came home to Philippines same month and gave it to me. It is, I guess, the latest Ipod 5th Generation because it has Facetime already. He bought it from Jarir Bookstore in Riyadh. I think its still under warranty but how do I prove it to Apple if I don't have its warranty with me?

  • HT1386 I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video).  My computer crashed and itunes was no loner accessible on it.  On my new computer, how do I transfer the music from my iPod to the library in iTunes that is on my new computer?

    I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes.  That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod.  How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer.  When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.

    - iTunes purchases by maybe

    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

    ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.  Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock.  Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

    Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
    You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you?  If so, that won't work.  The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection.  All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation is not recognized at all on my windows 8 laptop nor on iTunes using Windows 8

    When I first got my iPod touch my windows 8 laptop would not recognize it. I had an unfortunate issue and had to replace my iPod. Even with this new iPod my laptop and iTunes do not recognize it. Is windows 8 compatible with the 5th Generation iPod? Are there device Drivers needed for my windows 8 computer to recognize the iPod touch? Any answers would be lovely.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    See:

    I would start with

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • Ipad 2  and ipod 2nd generation is not recognized by itunes 10.5

    I have windows 7 64 bit and ipad 2 (ios 5.0) and 2nd generation ipod v 4.3.  Neither of these are recognized by itunes when I plug them via usb.  I have 2 usb on the front left side and 2 on the right side back.
    I have tried rebooting my laptop and ipad 2 several times as well as shutting down avast antivirus, comodo firewall and spyware sweeper it did not work.  Then of all of sudden whether the antivirus or firewall is shutdown or not itunes recognized ipad 2. 
    I can connect via wifi using a dlink and going through mozilla firefox to load any files on my ipad 2. 
    This did not happen before 4.3 it seems it started happening in the last two updates of ios.
    I have tried another laptop and it is the same.
    I notice  that for the computer to recongize the ipad 2 two beeps must be heard before it is recognized but itunes does not.
    What do you recommend?
    What do you mean by a periodic defect.  I live in Hamilton and we do not have an Apple store for me to take into.  I bought it at future shop.
    I have also tried to uninstall and update the driver but that did not work.  What is wrong and what do you recommend I do. 
    I was to reinstall itunes over the itunes that I have would that work.
    thanks for your response.

  • IPod Shuffle (2nd gen) not recognized by computer

    I get the following message when attachind my iPod to my computer; USB Device not Recognized...."One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it"
    There is a second USB port on my computer, however I get nothing when attaching to it.
    The iPod works and is recognized by my wife's computer. Clearly, something has gone awry in my computer. Anyone have any input on how to solve??

  • IPod Classic 120GB is not recognized by computer even after hard reset

    I have an iPod Classic and it recently would act like it was playing music but was not in reality. I ended up having to hard reset the iPod. Now that it has been reset it will not sync with my computer. I hook it up and the screen reads +do not disconnect+ my iTunes will not recognize that there is an iPod connected and when I open My Computer it often freezes or tells me that I need to reformat the iPod for it to be recoginzed by Windows. I do not have the option to format it to FAT 32 though. What do I do??

    This is my iPOD
    iPod (touch wheel)
    All iPod (touch wheel) models have a FireWire port cover. Scroll wheel models don't, and dock connector models don't have a FireWire port. The iPod (touch wheel) model controls look similar to the iPod (scroll wheel) but the touch wheel itself does not turn. iPod (touch wheel) models are considered second generation iPod models. The top of an iPod (touch wheel) model is shown here:
    I went into the link and looked at the 5 R's. Nothing there. I couldn't restore the iPod if I wanted considering I would need to connect my iPod to the Computer which I cannot do.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode - did not work - I tried the click wheel instructions, but it did nothing at all....it was totally unresponsive. then I went and did the *If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel* instructions get to the fourth step where it says
    *When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.*
    but the Disk Mode screen does not appear. It goes straight to ""ok to disconnect"
    Is there something else going on or something trivial that I could be doing that could be messing up these instructions?
