IPod Device not found in iTunes.

My iPhone 4, and iPod Touch 3rd Generation are not being recognized in iTunes at all, but are recognized by my computer.(As a camera.) However, my iPod Classic is.
Both my iPod Touch, and iPhone work on all other computers in my house.(Which run Windows XP 32-bit)
My iPod Touch used to work fine, and when it stopped being recognized I thought it was the iPod. I recently purchased the iPhone a few days ago, and when iTunes didn't recognize that- I knew it was the computer.
I'll give you some basic info to start off.
I am running on a Dell computer, Windows 7 64-bit.
I have the latest version of iTunes on my computer.
I have tried different USB ports/cords.
I have tried restarting my computer/iPhone/iPod Touch multiple times.
I have tried uninstalling everything related to iTunes and reinstalling it.
I have tried updating my drivers multiple times.
I have called Apple Support twice, have done everything they suggested, and they were unable to help.
I am running McAfee Security Center with all default settings, and have been since I got the computer.
I am not positive when my iPod Touch stopped being recognized, but my last backup for it was September 19th, at 6:06PM according to iTunes.
I don't have any system restores prior to October 20th, 2010. So I can't restore it.
I rather not restore my computer to factory setting either.
If anyone knows whats wrong or can help me. I would greatly appreciate it.

Can anyone help?

  • Ipod 4g not found by itunes 10.6.0.40 under Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hi, I own the Ipod Touch 4g. It's found under Windows 7 Ultimate, the icon Apple Ipod is displayed but the Ipod is not detected by Itunes 10.6.0.40.
    Ituners needs also a lot of time to start and to display the menus, more than 5 minutes when the ipod is plugged.
    An Icon appears in the task bar with the message: "You have some files ready to be burned on L:\". Please insert a disc."
    All services are on: Bonjour and Apple Services. The option is Automatically Started.
    I desinstall and reinstall Itunes but in vain,  no Ipod touch is seen in Itunes.
    I thought it's because my firewall or my virus program  Eset Smart Security 5. I swistch off a while the antivirus but the problem stayed.
    I dont know  what to do now? Who can help me?

  • Ipod device not recognised by itunes or Windows

    Hi: I wonder if anyone can help me and thanks in advance. I have my itunes program downloaded on my main laptop and I have been using it to download music and sync my ipod classic (120GB) for many years. For the last few months however my Windows (I am on Windows 7) My Computer drive and my itunes are not recognising my ipod device. This means that I cannot download music and sync it to my ipod. I am using an original Apple USB and cable. Initially I thought there might be a problem with the USB head but when I connect my ipod to any other computer - my other laptop, my home PC, and my work PC - all the other computers seem to recognise my ipod device. Just not the computer I want to use.
    I have tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling windows to trying different USB sockets but nothing works. Apple community support is no help and nor are the Apple stores. I have tried looking on Control Panel Device Managers but my system is just not reading my ipod device.
    any help will be much appreciated. Thanks! :-)

    Hi there:
    Sorry to trouble you again with this but you have been the only person to respond to my earlier query with a sensible and helpful response. Following your suggestion earlier I went to an Apple store intending to buy a new cable but thought I would check with the Genius Bar anyway. As it turns out both my itunes and my ipod are fine as is my cable so there was no need to buy a new one. The assistant there suggested that there wasn't enough power coming through my laptop USB port to power my ipod device. For lack of an alternative explanation, this seems acceptable to me but entirely inexplicable as I work off my 1TB external hard drive with my laptop ALL the time and never have a problem powering that. I fail to understand how a laptop USB port that emits enough power to read a 1TB device can fail to read a 120GB ipod.
    However as an alternative the genius bar assistant suggested the following: - He said that I could still continue to download new music on my problem laptop but could simply copy and paste the itunes library folder into another laptop to PC under the My Music area and then sync my ipod with that. It seems like a sensible alternative but having heard horror stories of people struggling to sync different computers and devices with Apple content, I would like a second opinion from you if you think this would work. I once had trouble moving my itunes library from my D drive to C drive in the same laptop so the thought of copying my itunes library into an entirely different computer terrifies me. I dont want to lose my music on which I have spent a fortune. Do you think the genius bar assistant's suggestion would work?
    Really sorry for the trouble but I would really appreciate a second opinion. Thanks.

  • IPod device not recognized by iTunes on PC

    I have an iPod Touch. Worked fine for a couple years. Then someone got a hold of it and disabled it by mis-entering the passcode numerous times so that now the display reads "iPod is diabled, try again in 5259129 minutes." I was told that I could simply plug it in and restore it. However, when I plug it in, and iTunes opens, the device is not recognized at all {Devices does not even appear on the menu on the left side}, and instead a small window opens with the following message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPod Touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Well I cannot enter the passcode for about ten more years. I just want to restore it--I don't care if I lose everything at this point. What I can't figure out is how to get the iTunes to recognize the device so that I can restore it. I have tried reinstalling iTunes twice, to no avail. Help!

    Thank you so much--the article you referred me to provided the procedure that worked for me. Previous trouble-shooting instructions I had found did not indicate that I needed to continue to press the "Home" button after reconnecting the USB cable until the "Connect to iTunes" screen appeared. We were able to do a restore. THANKS AGAIN!

  • Windows uninstalling device- my iPod is not recognized in iTunes so how can I fix this?

    I haven't had a lot of problems with my iPod or iTunes until recently, when I plug my iPod in, it is not recognized. I tried EVERYTHING to fix it, went as far as restoring it to it's factory settings.... I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about a million times, and I think the problem is iTunes. The iPod and the USB chord thing is not the problem. My iPod and the chord will connect to another computer that I have. So I went into the device manager and found
    USB Storage Device
    and underneath:
    windows is uninstalling this device.(Code 21)
    Okay, so I'm not the geek squad and I'm not good with computers or anything AT ALL. I've done my research, and I've found a lot of search results for this problem, but all that I have found have been recognized so the problem has been fixed for them fairly easily.
    I have an iPod nano generation 5
    I have a lenovo 2005-2006 in computer
    I also have windows 7- but I CANNOT update it (this may also be the problem but I need a way to work around it)
    All I know is I'm having music withdrawal.
    Any way that you can help please?

    Hi cecebabymusik,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Try the specific steps below for the your iPod touch first:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

  • IPod nano 7th gen not found in iTunes/"no disc in drive" Windows computer.

    I bought a brand new iPod nano 7th generation yesterday. When I plugged it into my Windows computer it began set up then stopped and a pop up appeared ''no disc in drive'' directly after that the next pop up read ''iPod cannot sync because it was not found''. My iPod is charging the entire time until that second pop up appears and then my iTunes acts as if the device was unplugged from the computer, it stops charging and at the top of my iTunes screen it says "OK to disconnect". I tried putting my iPod into "disk mode" but the same two pop ups still come up and the same thing happens. And even though iTunes recognizes the iPod as being unplugged even before it is, even after I do unplug it my computer still thinks it's attached, down in my tool bar it's still there waiting to be disconnected. As soon as iTunes begins starting up with my iPod it says there's no disc and then that the iPod can't be found even though it's still plugged in. I can't get any music on it let alone get my computer to recognize it for longer than 30 seconds. I really don't want to return it because my iPhone4 is full and can't fit any more music so I needed this iPod.

    Hello Abbey,
    I would recommend the steps in this article named iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. While the title of the article describes a symptom a bit different from yours, I feel the troubleshooting is still relevant.
    If that does not resolve the issue, then I would suggest this article to help troubleshoot the USB connection.
    iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1286
    And lastly, resetting it just may do the trick.
    How to reset an iPod nano (7th generation)
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.

  • IPod is not recognized by iTunes... Driver folder not in Mobile Device Support?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation. First, my iPod wasn't even recognized in Windows. After following the various Apple articles, I solved this.
    But now, my iPod won't be recognized in iTunes. I've been trying to follow this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 which has worked so far. But the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed. I follow along as to what to do to solve this until I reach "
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Note: If using a 64-bit version of Windows, this folder may be stored in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl.inf" file which is listed in this folder. (This file will be called "usbaapl64.inf" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows)."
    My Mobile Device Support does not have a folder called "Drivers" and my computer does not have any file listed as "usbaapl.inf" anywhere. I'm guessing that this could be the source of the problem. But I can't fix it unless I know where to find these drivers, and I don't know they are on my computer or how to get them.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

    and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there some setting I may have accidentally turned off?
    Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

    I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4 and at first iTunes didn't work so i came on here and found a way to fix it. Now that I have fixed it my iPod does not appear on iTunes or on my computer.

    Removed. Re-synced. Still not working. Factory reset the phone, re-installed music... made a GIANT "Other" file instead of actually adding any songs.
    Factory resetting again. Any other solutions?
    EDIT: If It helps, I'm doing this all over USB connection, not trying to sync music through wifi or anything.
