Ipod Connected but not detected !!please help!!!

Hello! so ive come to my last resort in order to figure this problem out. The basic problem is that itunes does not recognize my 5th generation ipod. Ok here are the details:
-running windows XP professional with all security updates(i.e service pack 3)
-tried the 5 R's
-If another ipod is connected to my computer it works perfectly
-everything is up to date
-Cord is in working conditions
-when my ipod is connected to other computers it works
-I just recently re-installed Windows XP completley(new partition and everything)
-USB hubs work fine due to other ipods working fine on my computer when connected
-I have formatted my ipod, uninstalled everything that has to do with Apple and quicktime, from temporary files to program files etc.. then i re installed everything and nothing works
-Ipod shows up in my computer and i am able to go into it but it will not pop up in itunes.
-when the ipod is plugged in and itunes is up it is frozen for a while until the ipod is unplugged then everything returns to normal.
i think thats all the details i can think of at the momment.
please help!, ive tried almost everything i can think of and read, but maybe i missed something.

Still sounds like a USB problem to me. Have you tried the usb ports on the BACK of the computer?

Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on my computer but i cannot move them over to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

well first make sure that when you click on the name of your iphone on the left hand side of itunes that you go to the app and music tab and check mark the sync apps and sync music. then try clicking apply in the bottom right hand corner. then if not try doing it again after going to prefrences in the top menu and going to devices tab and click reset sync history if that doesnt work with music try and drop and drag to the name of your iphone, lastly if that doesnt work you can try restoring from a backup from before you updated. it will keep the new software but put everything that was on your phone when you created the backup back onto your phone.

My iPhone4 docks correctly with some devices but not others, please help!

Hi,
Firstly spologies if this is old news but sometimes its easier to 're-ask' than trawl thousands of pages!.....
I have a 3-year old iPhone 4 that has developed a problem which i'm trying hard to solve;
*Phone used to dock fine with anything and everything - this was about 1 year ago.
*for no apparent reason it ceased docking with my Bose Soundock and a Logic3 accessory dock (connected to a hi-fi) at home
*symptoms were; it would charge and operate as normal whilst docked but would not play music through either (the Logic3 dock did not acknowledge it was docked). Otherwise it would sync and connect normally with iTunes, etc. and connected fine when plugged into my car.
*I reset it, restored it from back-up, updated/reinstalled iOS (this has since updated at least twice) with no other effects. Also checked and reset all settings.
*I subsequently bought a Pure Contour dock as I was able to try it in the shop and my phone worked with it, plus it has Airplay anyway. I have since, in an attempt to find a bedside DAB radio/alarm dock that works with it, found that it works fine with some devices but not others with no rhyme or reason as to which.
*2 days ago I changed out the docking port myself using a cheap replacement bought from Amazon, to see if it would cure.
* now the problem is reversed! The Bose and Logic3 docks I have, that it wouldn't work on before, it now DOES....and the Pure dock and my car, which it DID work with before now fail to connect with it!
*just to reiterate this, my wife's gen3 and gen5 iPods dock and work faultlessly with all devices mentioned....and mine had done previously.
to my knowledge it is NOT;
- a compatibility issue. The phone used to work fine on everything I had. Then it stopped. How's that?!
- a connector issue. The male connectors on all docks haven't changed.......and the female connector in my phone has changed from liking selected devices to then liking the others!! (it is female after all ;-) !)
-a software issue. iOS has been updated and the phone wiped and restored and all sorts so many times I can;t see how it can be!
could it be a problem with the data exchange between phone and device when it is docked??
or do I really need to try changing the port for an 'official' one??
or is it just broken and that's that?!

It's either a problem with the connector on your phone (dirt, lint, bent pin, corrosion) or with its connection to the motherboard inside. Cleaning the connector is a good place to start; either a dry toothbrush, air blast can or wood toothpick. Next inspect it carefully with a good magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe. If nothing turns up it is probably damage inside, which will be difficult to fix. Aren't you due for an upgrade about now? Your iPhone 4 is 3 generations out of date!

MacBook Pro 13 Early 2011 Battery Degradation to Not Detected, User Replaced New Battery also Not Detected, Please Help!

I have a MBP early 2011 13 inch and do not have Apple Care. After I installed Mountain Lion I noticed the battery health was dropping pretty rapidly, with a service battery warning. I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM and even a clean install. I took it into an Apple store and they said I should have cycled it more, but I could still use it. The health dropped and dropped until a battery would not even be detected. Because Apple would not replace it for me for free and I didn't want to pay for them to do so, I bought my own battery. Once I replaced the battery with the new one, it still says there is no battery connected.
When I detach the battery and then attach it again, the battery indicator lights on the side show 4 dots. When I plugged in the MagSafe connector, the fifth light started blinking (I thought it was charging) and then it went back to all of them blinking indicating no battery detected. The computer also automatically turned on when I connected the MagSafe.
I have tired multiple times to reset PRAM and SMC even after installing the new battery to no avail. I can use the machine with the MagSafe connected, but as soon as the cord is unplugged or bumped, it goes into the emergency sleep mode.
Any thoughts on what might be ailing this not yet two year old machine? My first Mac lasted 7 years before any logic board fail so I hope that is not it. Anything I should try that I haven't yet? Any ideas on what this might cost me through Apple?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, RipapArt!
Any ideas why this has suddenly happened...
Possibly a corrupted file. If you have not already done so, you might considered booting you computer from the Tiger Install disk, holding down the "c" key. Select your language and then from the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility.
In the left pane of Disk Utility, click on your hard disk. In the right pane, click the First Aid tab and then near the bottom click Repair Disk. If any errors are found, it will try to repair them. Re-run repair disk until it reports zero errors. Then click Repair Permissions. Afterwards, reboot the computer normally. Launch Disk Utility from the Utilities folder and Repair Permissions.
Launch a browser to see if you can get online. If the problem persists, launch System Preferences and then Network. Click Assist me and use the Assistant to create a new location and follow the prompts.

For some reason I cannot download and view PDFs from a website, It works in chrome, but not Firefox, please help.

When attempting to download a PDF, (detailed bill description) the download appears in the OS X download folder. When attempting to click on that file, a warning comes up that the file is empty.
When I switch browsers and navigate to the same page, (Chrome), the document downloads and I'm able to view the document.
I updated the browser to version 33.1, but that didn't help.

Do you have parental controls enabled on your computer or have other security software that might interfere?

Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one. found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
but I can't go online! I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card. my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be? I already tried rebooting the router, but no results. I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
any suggestions? thank you so much in advance

It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration. When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
From a command window, try typing:
ipconfig
It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
If you don't get a valid IP and route, try running: ipconfig /renew
See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
ping 192.168.0.1
If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
Start->Control Panel
Double click Network Connections
Check for DHCP:
   Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
   Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
   Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
   Click OK in both boxes.
Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

WRT54GS router connected, but not detected.

I have my WRT54GS wireless router connected just like the Easylink setup guide told me to. It goes through the steps up to the point that it tells me to verify that certain lights are on. They are, so I click next. Here's my problem. On the next step, the computer attempts to detect the router, but fails. I can still connect to the internet through the router on my wired connection. On my wireless conection to my PS3, it obtains an IP address, but can't connect. On my wireless connection to my other computer, it finds the network, but can't connect.
I called Linksys tech support and was told it had something to do with my modem and I had to call my ISP. I called my ISP and they said it was a problem with the router.
I know none of the hardware is faulty, because it worked when the computers were in opposite positions. That leads me to believe it is some setting on this computer, but I have no idea what it could be.
Can someone help?

Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address .....

Ipod connected but not recognized

When I connect my ipod it charges but is not recognized by itunes. Usually when I have something connected to the usb port it has a little icon on my toolbar on the bottom of my screen...that doesn't happen with this. For some reason I think I selected something that made it not be recognized by itunes or my computer.

hi bunchofbums! (how many of you are there?)
if the ipod isn't being recognised by Windows, let's check on this issue first:

Ipod nano sound not right - please help!

Hi, I got an ipod nano for my birthday today, followed the instructions and loaded it all in, loaded all my CD's into itunes, loaded them all onto the nano, but when I finally came to listen to my songs, the sound is all weird. The vocals are very quiet and out of sync with the music, and the music sounds 'distorted'. Any ideas?? All help greatly received, I'm so sad!

Lianne:
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Boards. I assume as this is your first post that you have not used Macs or iTunes before. Have you listened to your music within iTunes on your computer? Does it sound OK there?
As a first step, I would check your settings in iTunes. Go to Preferences/Advanced/Importing and be sure the setting are at least 160kbs (High Quality).
