Ipod - 60GB - My computer wont recognise my ipod anymore :o(

I am seriously running out of ideas and patience.
My computer wont recognise that my ipod is connected, yet the ipod just registers that it's re-charging.
I have the latest ipod update and the latest itunes.
so, now i can't update/install anymore songs on my ipod.
It can't be the USB cable, 'cos it recharges.
It can't be Itunes or ipod updater 'cos they are up to date.
been thru all the advice on this topic on this website, including using msconfig to see if there are any conflicts.
If there is anyone with the solution, i would be most grateful to hear it :o)
Thanks in advance.

disk management doesn't recognise the ipod either!
gaah. okay, let's first try putting the ipod into disk mode to see if it will show up in there then:
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
... and while you're in that general Computer Management area, let's also check up on another weird possibility. click on "Device Manager". are there devices shown in the pane to the right? or is that pane blank?

  • Itunes freezes when ipod plugged in, computer wont recognise it.

    I know it's a common problem but when I plug my IPod Classic into my laptop, it causes itunes to freeze and won't respond to anything unless I unplug the IPod.
    It started when I was playing a tune on itunes and plugged the ipod in. Itunes was still starting up and the conflict seemed to confuse it and caused the problem.
    If I plug the ipod in, my computer recognises it as a drive, not an ipod, but the device manager does recognise it and says it is working fine.
    I've tried to restore it on my computer but it doesn't do anything until I unplug it, then of course it can't find the device. Plug it back in and again, won't respond to any commands until the ipod is unplugged.
    The ipod seems to play ok on my dock so the problem lies with the communication with the ipod and the computer.
    I've updated itunes, checked the ipod is up to date, even bought a new cable. I've tried it in disk mode but I don't seem to be able to do anythng to either fix the problem, or restore my ipod.
    I am using Windows 8.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

  • Computer Wont Recognise my Shuffle Anymore - Blinks Green!

    My computer has decided to stop recognising my Ipod Shuffle. When I plug into the USB port the status light flashes green - what does this mean? as it is not mentioned in the manual!!
    The USB port on the computer works fine for everything else including printer, digital camera and most annoying, my brothers Ipod Mini!!!
    My Shuffle has always updated and charged in the past, but now It wont even charge through my computer and is not recognised when I go into My Computer etc.
    I have tried everything the online help suggests ie unistalling and reinstalling but none of this works.
    Can anyone please help? I a msick of listening to the same songs!!!!

    You are still under warranty so you exchange the Shuffle:

    I recently upgraded to the newest iTunes version and now my older Ipod is no longer recognized by my computer. iTunes doesnt open, it just gives me an error message in the bottom right corner saying Unknown Device. Ive tried looking for / updating drivers, reseting, everything and nothing works. I tried every USB port on my laptop as well. Running Win XP. Can anyone offer any other suggestions on how i can fix this???
    Thanks

    Its been working perfectly for 4 years until last week. I have the USB/FireWire combo for hooking it up to my computer. It worked with all the older version of iTunes and now that 7.1.1 is on there, it wont recognize it at all. The computer is convinced there are no drivers for the "unknown device" and all searches performed for the missing drivers come up empty. The computer cannot see the iPod as an iPod, and none of this happened until I downloaded the most recent iTunes.

  • How do i get a different computer to recognise my ipod that is not the one i originally set it up with

    I am trying to connect ipod to a new computer & computer doesnt recognise it - what do I do?

    Try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Note you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. You can manually manage music and videos among different computer by:

    All of a sudden no computer, PC or Mac, will recognise my ipod

    Untill a few days ago it worked fine, I don't know if this is caused by the new version 1.2 or if it is caused by something else....

    If you don't have a Mac; it should be formatted for one. Did it come back with all your songs? You may want to look at...

    When you connect the iPod to your Mac does the iPod show up in the finder? If it does, try initializing the iPod with Disk Utility and then restoring with the iPod updater.

  • My Ipod Touch 4th Generation wont connect to Itunes anymore

    I have an Ipod touch 4th generation and suddenly it wont connect to my itunes anymore. It will connect to the computer but the device isnt shown on itunes. I cant sync my ipod up with any music or apps or even transfer pictures from my ipod to my computer. I have a Windows XP. Please help. I need my music. It used to connect automatically and with no problem.

    Here
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or

    Try another computer.Another cable
    Does it charge?
    Does the iPod work? turn on?
    See if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow the restore.
