IPod Composite AV cable is not being recognized

Hey there,
I bought an "Networx iPod Composite AV cable" (for Ipod touch 2G) at a Gravis store (certified retailer).
Now, ever since I bought the new software (3.0) and updated Itunes to 9.x this cable will only allow me to to charge the Ipod, however it is not being recognized in Itunes.
I have read that some cables do not contain a specific chip that authorizes the connection between the Ipod and Itunes. However, before I paid for the software update, it was still working and when buying the update Apple did not provide any information about third party cables (which comes from a certified reseller) not being supported anymore.
Is there a way of fixing this? I have already reset the Ipod, yet that did not change anything.
Do I need to jailbreak it to make it work?
Thanks.

I'm comfused - isn't a Composite AV cable for conecting your ipod to a TV - not Itunes?

Ipod shuffle (2nd Generation) is not being recognized by my MacBook Pro or itunes:

I was recently given my friends old ipod shuffle, but it is not being recognized by my computer at all, is there something that I can do?

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Did he give you the cable that was originally included witht the Shuffle? I ask because if you are using a 3G/4G cable it will not work with the 2G Shuffle.

Ipod nano 3rd gen. is not being recognized by my computer or itunes, it comes up as a USB drive, the cable is fine

My ipod nano is not being recognized in iTunes or in Windows, it only shows up as a USB and when i plug it in it says 'do not disconnect'
This happened after I put the ipod nano in Philips Ipod speakers.
I've reset the ipod mulitple times, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, restarted my computer, and I can't restore the ipod because it doesnt register on my computer and it doesn't show up in itunes, but for some reason it still says dont disconnect.
What should I do??

just hold down the “-” button and the power button. when it says “ok to disconnect” hold down the powerbutton and the “-” button again.

Hi, SFletches.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.

Try

I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Hi my friend is having some issues with her ipod first generation it is not being recognized by the computer when she plugs it in and when she opens itunes it does not show up. the only thing she can do is charge her ipod from the computer, if anyone can help that would be great thanks!!

Could be any number of reasons. One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes. Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!

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.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Did he give you the cable that was originally included witht the Shuffle? I ask because if you are using a 3G/4G cable it will not work with the 2G Shuffle.
