Ipod connects to computer but Itunes doesn't recognize it.

Whenever I plug in my ipod the window comes up asking what I want to do with my music. When I click Itunes it says:
IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I have reported the error and have made sure my Itunes is up to date and everything this has been going on for about a few weeks.
Help please Im gettin very frustrated!

Did this start happening after you updated to Service Pack 3?
If so, open your Device Manager. (Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", click "Device Manager".) Is your Device Manager currently completely blank?
When Device Manager is blank after an SP3 install, getting Device Manager displaying correctly again should also fix the "iPod Service Module" crash.
For a manual method of fixing the SP3 problem, see the following Microsoft document:
Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
For an automated tool for fixing the problem, see the following Symantec document:
Problems occur after installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 with a Norton 2008 product installed

  • IPod touch 2nd gen hooked up to computer but iTunes doesn't recognize it

    My iPod touch 2g 8GB has always worked fine and synched with the computer, but now the computer doesn't recognze. It is hooked up to the cable and in the USB port. The iPod itself shows that it is charging, so it knows it's in the computer. iTunes should show devices but it doesn't. What should I do? I can't synch new songs or apps. I tried reseting everything and hooking up my ipod to a different port but still the computer doesn't recognize it.

  • I can't restore my iphone.  when i plug it in, the phone recognizes that it is plugged into itunes, but itunes doesn't recognize it

    My iphone charges when I plug it into my computer, but itunes doesn't recognize that any device is attached (I have the latest version; a pc, not a mac; it's a Verizon iphone).  Also, the phone's info button (which should tell me the serial number) says "MEID: Unknown".  Apple support won't help me without the serial number...
    Ideally, I would like a button combination to restore the phone to factory settings, so that I can activate it.  Or at least figure out the serial number so I can get tech support.

    Serial # is below the model# on the BOX !!
    looks like you bought a Craked Iphone and Not a NEW one from Apple direct or the carrier.

  • I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

    I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

    Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

  • My iPhone 3G charges with a charger, but not when connected via USB to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

    Hello, my iPhone charges when I charge it with the wall plug but not when connected to a computer via USB and my iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone either. iTunes recognizes my iPod and iPad just fine. I have been to Apple iPhone support page and I have restarted my iPhone, the computer, tried different USB ports, etc. I have also tried my iPhone on different macs even with different versions of iTunes and no luck. This all started when I was cleaning out some lint from the usb connector, could I have damaged some part of the docking connection? But why does it charge with a wall plug then?

    I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

  • IPod Photo still rules!  But, itunes doesn't recognize it any more...

    Hi iPod Photo fans and experts,
    I have an iPod Photo 30 GB model that I just restored, and now I can't get it to show up in the iTunes source list.  For the record I am running Windows XP SP2, and iTunes 10.  And, I have tried this on two different machines with this same setup with the same result.
    The weird thing is, after restarting windows, when I plug in the iPod Photo, the ipod will open itunes automatically.  But, itunes will not recognize it.  itunes still recognizes my other ipod classic with no problem.
    The ipod photo shows up as a usb drive, and is recognized in Windows explorer.
    The ipod itself is running V 1.2.1.
    I tried the 10 steps listed in the apple support section related to this issue, including reinstalling itunes.  I also tried plugging in the ipod in disk mode.
    Is there anything else I can try?  Is there any way to update the ipods firmware without itunes?

  • IPhone says "Restore Needed", but iTunes doesn't recognize it. Now what?

    My iPhone was sitting untouched this evening. When I woke it up, it said "Restore Needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes." But when I plug it in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it. I have reset the phone to no avail. What do I do next?

    Thanks for the reply. I tried everything suggested. Now when I try to restore the iPhone from iTunes, it says the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (23).
    I give up.
    Would it be better to take the phone to the AT&T store where I bought it, or to an Apple store?

  • TS2446 my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to itunes but itunes doesn't recognize because my computer crashed and had to have fixed so doent recognize my ipod touch what do i do

    My ipod touch was lost and now I got it back but someone locked it up and says my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to my itunes.  I connected to my itunes on my computer but will not recognize this ipod touch because since it was lost my computer crashed and nothing could be saved on it so I had to reload itunes and start from the beginning so how do I get my ipod touch out of "disabled" mode?

    Try authorizing the computer because that may be the problem. And you need the latest version of itunes. Itunes 11.
    To authorize the computer go to itunes then press store then authorize.
