IPod Dissapears in Window when iTunes starts and iTunes error occurs

I had an issue where my iPod (Gen 7) would show in the PC window under "Drives", but dissapeared as soon as iTunes was launched and then an error from iTunes that the iPod was recognized but couldn't be read.  Going through the iTunes diagnostics didn't work, either.  need a bit more support from Apple for that issue.
I went through the troubleshooting steps, several times, all of which did not work, which included resetting mobile device activation and re-installing the latest iTunes.
Finally, I came across the troubleshooting step under "iPod not recognized in window", and it said to uninstall a lot of the apple apps, such as iTunes, Application Support, etc.
After uninstalling, rebooting, and re-installing, the error had dissapeared and I could see my iPod in the iTunes again.  (Hesitant to plug the iPhone in.)
What caused this, I don't know, but it may had something to do with using my work account ID for my iPhone so I could import some photos into my personal account ID on my iPod.
Screwed that up...still don't know how to import or share, unless I designate the work iPhone to another computer and keep the accounts seperate.  I was using Cloud, since it was installed on my computer, probably when I first plugged my iPhone into my computer.
Could this be what happened, two user accounts on one iTunes just didn't agree?

    We are starting from the beginning like its a new ipod starts out asking language, country,location services,choose a network,and when we get to "setup ipod touch  " there are 3 options 1..setup as new ipod, 2.restore from ipod backup 3 restore from itunes backup and when we hit setup as new ipod and click next it comes up with sign in with apple id or create a free apple id  we clicked create a free apple id....then comes up with bday,1st name last name, use your current email address, get a free icloud email address or change email address and THIS is where we have problems....if we hit change email address it means that sis's stuff goes under his name and moves all her stuff to this older ipod which the brother does not want. sorry this is so long but its the only way I knew to do it.

But will i have the opinion to get everything back after i restore my ipod? I dont have any music, but i have about 14000 photos. And none of my photos are saved to my laptop. Help Please!

    Photos
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    CS6 perpetual Mac is version 13.0.6 Windows is version 13.0.1.3 Subscription cloud version is 13.1.2.  If you have a cloud subscription and a perpetual licence you would not be able to have both version install at the same time on same machine.

  • I keep getting an error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space.  What does this mean?

    I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space."  What does this mean?

    Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

  • We could not complete your iTunes store request! And unknown error occurred! (12002)

    Hello everybody!
    I finally installed Mac OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro yesterday and I bought it from Mac's App Store! However I went to iTunes stroe using my Lion Operating System and I downloaded the new Cut the Rope: Experiments and my account was working fine in the beginning of the day! Then I realised that I wanna changed my accounts e-mail adress and this is not my main e-mail adress! So I changed it and after that I am not able to sign in to iTunes Store from my Mac OR FaceTime! BTW FaceTime was working fine as well! I tried creating new Apple ID's but even they didn't work for me! I received the error "We could not complete your iTunes store request! And unknown error occurred! (12002)"!
    I tried signing in with my friends MacBook Pro with a different IP and he we received the same error again! I can sign in to apple.com through Safari and I can sign in with my iPod Touch! What should I do ??! Any soloutions ?!?!
    Peace
    Romin

    Got it. I realized that I am logged in under my old log-in name (email) on my iPad. After I signed out and logged in back under my new log-in name (email) on iPad, it went through on my Mac as well. Check if you are not logged in to iTunes under the old ID on another device.

  • I get this message when i start the computer :" error : unable to start the bluetooth stack service"

    i get this message when i start the computer :" error : unable to start the bluetooth stack service"

    If a power cycle of the TC works then the issue is simply Lion.. and there is as yet no fix.. and may never be..
    Apple do not seem to acknowledge the issue but plenty of people have it.. It doesn't happen with SL.. one very good reason to not bother with Lion.. Maybe ML will fix it.. without Apple having to ever admit an issue.
    In the meantime, if possible downgrade TC to 7.5.2 .. it has less issues than 7.6 or later.
    Reset the TC and change all names, TC and wireless names, to short, no spaces, no special characters.
    If it is the main router, set the dhcp lease to a short time.. 10min I recommend.
    The above will probably not fix the issue.. but it might go a bit longer before a reboot is needed.. going back to SL would fix it.

    Hello Negaz
    When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.
