IPod Classic installed on second computer - not being recognized
I bought a second iPod classic for my fiance for Christmas. I planned on him using my current laptop to synch, purchase since I just bought a new desk PC for myself. I cleared all of the itunes and related categories (Bonjour, Apple auto update, etc) and downloaded iTunes from site. He made a couple purchases and when we go into iTunes, it still slows my name under the Library and where files are located. It will NOT synch his purchases. I have uninstalled the iTunes again as before with the instructions from apple and uninstalled files in the order they recommend, downloaded iTunes again. It still will not recognize the iPod and sync purchases. They show in the library, but we cannot move them to the iPod.
Not sure what else to do. Do you think it is an iPod issue and I need to return it?
When you plug in the iPod does it even appear in Device Manager? See this article for more details.

Otherwise, I have a feeling that the USB ports on the Netbook don't output enough power to allow the iPod to fully communiate properly with the Windows Vista O/S.

IPod Classic 5th Gen (30 GB) not being recognized by Windows 7 Vista Netbook.
My iPod isn't being recognized I tried everything . Reinstalling Itunes. Resetting Ipod. Putting it in Disk mode. everything. I plugged it up to my school's mac desktop and it syncs and everything. On my Windows it doesn't even show up as mass storage device or anything. It's annoying. I just want to listen to music.
Is there a driver or something?
My friend said Registry fix, but i doubt it.
When I try to update driver, it says the most recent one has been updated.
This *****.

My iPod Classic (60GB) Clickwheel is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows in 'My Computer'. The problem started with an error message in iTunes saying "Could not complete sync as devise may have become corrupt" and suggested I restore the iPod to factory settings which I have done several times. I've carried out an error check in the iPod properties. I've completely removed iTunes and all related software components in the correct order and reinstalled version 10.5.3. I have been through the 5 R's numerous times but still the iPod is not being recognised in iTunes. I have Windows XP, I'm tearing my hair out now so any help or suggestions would be great
Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad -
I don't seem to be able to transfer the music on my Ipod classic to a second computer.
I have enabled Homesharing and switched to Manual mode from Automatic. When I try to transfer from the Ipod I get a warning that I will loose the files on the Ipod if I sync the Ipod with my second computer.

IPod Touch 3G (iOS 4.1) not being recognized in iTunes (10.5.2.11) on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
Prior to updating my Mac OS to OS (10.7.2) Lion, and thus while on Snow Leopard (10.6.8), I began experiencing problems with my iPod Touch 3G running iOS 4.1 which was not being detected by the latest version of iTunes (10.5.2.11). It was quite frustrating since i could access the iPod on other computers and with this same version of iTunes, with no problem and thus, it had to be a problem isolated to my computer. In addition, my iPod was working fine and therefore, didn't merit an OS restore and I was also reluctant to perform one. Lastly, it seemed like upon plugging my iPod into the USB ports, the mac would detect the device but would subsequently, partially eject eject so that the device would cease charging but would still be visible in System Profiler.
These were some of the solutions I sought, after not finding an answer specifically for Mac OS 10.7 Lion. I hope it helps, as this was a complicated fix.
I would recommend deleting the 'AppleMobileDevice' Service see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (This should allow the device to remain connected and charging on the mac)
Re-install iTunes (latest version)
Also, make sure you have the most up-to-date version of Xcode which incorporate iOS connectivity in the software.
Launch 'Image Capture' from Applications, and in devices you should see your iOS device (iPod Touch in my case) appear in the 'Devices' tab
Select 'iTunes' in the dialog area which allows you to choose which app should launch the device.
Here, I noticed that iTunes didn't immediately respond, but by specifying iPhoto and Aperture, the iPod began to Open in these applications
At this point, I quit and re-install iTunes from a download from Apple's website.
Prior to re-running the installer I re-selected iTunes in Image Capture, and after the installer completed most of the installation, iTunes began to launch.
At completion, iTunes began to launch again, and loaded the iPod Touch in the side bar again.
P.S. I perhaps should acknowledge that I had spent maybe an entire week, crushed and loosing productive time over this problem. I eventually began to pray and trust God (Jesus) that it would eventually work again.I have the same problem, that when iTunes is open it does not recognize when a CD is inserted. I don't have an answer but I have a workaround that may be similar to yours.
The problem occurred the first time I tried to import a CD after having updated iTunes on October 12. I think this is the first version to support iCloud (which I don't use). That version did not have a Help Menu. I reinstalled iTunes and now have 10.5.0.142. I did get a Help Menu but still no recognition of CDs.
I can import CDs if I close iTunes and let AutoPlay take over. I have AutoPlay set to "Import songs using iTunes". "Show songs using iTunes" is closer to the setting you want. When the CD is inserted AutoPlay opens iTunes and iTunes sees the CD.

Brand New iPod Touch - It's stuck and not being recognized by iTunes
I just got a new iPod Touch for a gift. I plugged it in and it needed to update software to 4.0. I allowed it to download and install and left the computer alone. Came back and it is currently stuck showing the screen with the USB and the iTunes symbol. It is no longer recognized on iTunes when I plug it in. I cannot get it off this screen, I would do a restore but iTunes does not recognize this. When I plug the iPod touch in, it shows up in device manager as Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) (2 of them). I am able to install the drivers on one and the other it will not let me and gives me a code 10. This is very frustrating especially since I have owned it less than 5 hours.
PLEASE HELP I HAVE SEARCHED FOR HOURS NOTHING WORKS!!!Try Updating Itunes to the latest version

My iPOD is not being recognized by my computer.....
I have a 30GB white iPOD. It charges and everything. Nothing seems to be wrong with it. My computer can't recognized it. I can't load/unload songs beacuse of this. I have 2 2GB nanos (the new ones) that work fine. What do I do?
You know, my new ipod (The 30 GB) was also not being recognized by my laptop and wasn't even charging.
I think I finally figured out that the usb cord in my laptop didn't have enough power and now I am using my brothers desktop and it seems to work finally.
HOWEVER, now that it didn't charge successfully the first time for a few hours like recommended and I was playing around with it to make it work, I am afraid that my battery is all messed up.
When I thought I was charging it, it really was using up the battery. And there were times my computer would freeze in the middle of the process so I would have to restart my computer
Would anyone know if my ipod will be ok? -

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?
What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often. -
New 3rd Gen. 4 GB iPod Shuffle not being recognized by computer or iTunes
Hey everyone, I've read some of the other posts here on this thread about other people having problem getting their computer to recognize the new 4 GB iPod Shuffle when plugged into the USB drive, and it seems like I am having a very similar issue. I just received my iPod in the mail a few days ago and tried plugging it into the USB and got NO response whatsoever from my computer or iTunes. I am operating with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) on a Dell Inspiron Intel processor, 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM, with iTunes 8.1 (just updated). When I put something in my USB usually I hear a noise (sounds like DO-do ha) which tells me that my laptop recognizes whatever is plugged in, and usually I get a little box in the bottom right hand part of the screen that says it's been plugged in. I didn't get any of this when I plugged it in.
When I first opened the box I turned the shuffle on and the light went green for 1 second, orange for 1 second, red for one second, then dead..I suppose this is expected since I figured it's new and needs to be charged, so I turned the shuffle off, plugged the USB into the earphone socket then into my USB, and then turned the shuffle on, and got nothing but the same sequence of lights. It's one thing if iTunes just didn't recognize the shuffle, but I checked the Device Manager and My Computer and the USB drive wasn't even listing the shuffle as being plugged in..maybe the USB cable that came with it is faulty?? I read all of the technical troubleshooting notes on here and tried the 5 R's and nothing is working at all..
I do have one guess about this though..I also have an 80 GB iPod 5th generation that I've used for over a year now for my car and that plugs into the USB fine with its respective cable and is recognized by iTunes..my question is, can my iTunes only recognize one iPod at a time? Does it reject the shuffle because iTunes is only allowed to sync to one iPod per account? If this is true, is there a way around this so it can sync both, or can I have two iTunes accounts on the same computer? But why does the computer not even recognized it when plugged in? Hopefully it is just the cable that is damaged and not the device..wow this was long, but any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!GTEagle05 wrote:

Video Ipod 80G 5th generation not being recognized by computer or itunes.
My ipod is not being recognized by my computer or itunes at all. I bought a new cable and nothing happens as well. however when i connect it in my car it works fine. did any resolve this issue? I am not sure if its the new software that has the issue but i am almost certain it is.
Many people are reporting problems with connecting there fifth-gen iPods after the update to iTunes 9. I had the same problem, and when I downgraded to iTunes 8, everything worked again.
I tried cables, resetting, and all the other steps. My solution turned out to be iTunes 9 itself.
My problem came from using a replacement hard drive-an adapter that allows me to retrofit my iPod with a Compact Flash card instead of a hard drive.
The problem is NOT the adapter. This system functioned perfectly until iTunes 9, and when I switched back to iTunes 8, it worked again.
Summary: I have a modded iPod, and it consistently works with iTunes 8, but not iTunes 9.
Reason: Apple is sooooooooooo afraid a Palm Pre user will be able to use iTunes that they are breaking the sync code on purpose.
Downgrading iTunes:
1. find the download of iTunes 8 for your OS. (not posting links, as they may change)
2. go into your iTunes 9, and export EVERY playlist to a text file. This is the only way to preserve your playlists.
3. Uninstall iTunes 9 from you computer, install iTunes 8.
4. Configure iTunes 8 to use your music folder (especially if you moved your music to a different location other than the default)
5. Add your music to iTunes-this may take awhile.
6. Import you text files and your playlists will return.
7. Backup your iTunes 8 library files.
Happily enjoy your modded iPod. Mac Users: Don't accidentally install iTunes 9 from an Apple Update. -

I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?
Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:
