IPod frozen, computer & iTunes not recognizing it HELP PLEASE!

My iPod's screen (I have it unplugged from computer) is stuck on the synchronizing Do not disconnect. message and it won't go off. It also still stays it's locked although it isn't. Whenever I plug it back into the laptop it NOTHING picks it up, it just comes up with a message saying it's an unknown device. I've tried to restart my computer and I;ve put my iPod in another computer and it also said it was an unkown device and nothing would pick it up. Can someone please help me.

Call Apple (1-800-myapple) and give them the serial number.
They can notify the last registered owner and pass on your contact info to them so it can be returned.
Thanks for being a good person!

  • Computer, Itunes,  Not recognizing my ipod

    About 2 weeks ago i tried to update my music on my ipod touch. I plugged it in and it didnt show up in itunes, My computer or Media Monkey. My computer charges it just fine, But i cant find it anywhere on my computer. Ive tried everything i can but with out itunes recognizing it i cant restore. The reset with the home and menu buttons (just orginized my apps which was nice lol) Tried searching device manager, no luck doesnt even show up any where in there.
    Ive been scouring forums all day the only thing i found was this issue with the classic and vista or xp.
    I'm running itunes 9 cause 10 caused a crash with my boyfriends ipod Which works fine he has the 8gb 3rd gen w/ 4.1
    Ive Tried His Ipod Cord My Ipod cord and every usb port on laptop. Both cords charge mine. and both cords connect his. His ipod shows up just fine
    So what do i do?
    Mine is 3.1.3 and the serial is 1C8015Y414P

    This is what the guide says
    Restore iPod touch from a backup:
    1 Connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with.
    2 In iTunes, Control-click iPod touch in the sidebar and choose “Restore from Backup” from the menu that appears.
    3 Choose the backup that you want to restore from the pop-up menu, then click Restore.
    I cant do this because my IPod DOES NOT show in iTunes.
    The only thing my IPOD does is charge when i connect it.
    Any other ideas?????

  • 3G iPod port problem?  Computer/iTunes not recognizing iPod.

    Okay, I've posted a few times in regards to the problems I've been having with my iPod, but here's a brief run down.
    I have a 20GB 3G iPod that's 3 years old now. The iPod plays perfectly and has no problems, accept I can't get my computer or iTunes to recognize the device when I plug it in. It will sometimes momentarily connect, but never long enough to do anything with it.
    I took the iPod to an Apple store and the person assisting me wasn't able to access the device through his laptop either. He tried putting it in disk mode and tried plugging it in with both firewire and USB with no success. He said that it looks like the iPod's digital access port is broken. He said that if it was under warranty he would have just given me a new one, but as it isn't there wasn't anything else that he can do.
    Now for my question. What can I do next?
    1. They will give me a 10% price reduction on a new iPod when I exchange my current one.
    2. Is there anywhere that can repair something like this and would it be worth it to do so? Costwise...
    3. Could he be wrong?
    Thanks and sorry for the long post.

    Hey CK,
    I'm having the same problem with my 3G ipod but I've had some limited success when I plugged it into a different computer running a different version of iTunes (6 vs. 7). Dunno if that would help you since I'm not sure what the digital access port is... I know there are some DIY ipod repair kits out there..

  • New computer itunes not recognizing my iphone

    Greetings,
    I just bought a new Intel core i5 imac, and set up the new itunes to connect to my library which was located on an external drive. The transfer went smoothly and everything works fine except that the new itunes does not register the existence of my iphone when I connect it to the computer. For the moment I am unable to sync the phone. I looked in iTunes>Preferences>Devices and my phone is listed (5 times) in the Device Backup list. Any ideas how I can get iTunes to recognize my iphone?
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

    Solved it thru more google search. Just re-downloaded the latest version of itunes (no need to uninstall first). That did the trick.

  • My computer is not recognizing my IPod...how can I help this?  I have an IPod Classic from 2006, I think.

    I have connected my IPod via the USB port, and even my computer is not recognizing the IPod.  How can I help this?  I have just downloaded an audiobook and now I'd like to downloading it to my IPod.

    Uninstall iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, then reinstall iTunes.  This will not trouch your iTunes library or data.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen - not recognized by computer or itunes.  Shows cable pointing to itunes logo.  Can't reset it.  Doesn't work at all.  Have tried all the supposed fixes on the apple site with no luck.  It suggested asking other users !

    I have a 3rd Generation ipod touch that is not recognized by itunes or my computer.  My itunes works with other apple devices I own.  I cannot reset the ipod touch and can never get to the screen where it is supposed to show a red battery to turn it off.  I can't reset it.  Have tried to use the suggestions on the apple site to no avail.  Any suggestions ?

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

  • IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

    ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.  Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock.  Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

    Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
    You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you?  If so, that won't work.  The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection.  All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.
