  • Ipod mini isn't recognized by itunes or computer

    I have no idea what to do. I connect my ipod mini to my mac, the ipod recognizes that it's been connected but it doesn't show up within iTunes or in Finder.
    I have iTunes 7.7, Macbook 10.5.4
    Any ideas? I want to update my music and this is really frustrating me.
    I read around and tried to re-install/downgrade to iTunes 7 but that didn't work or I did it wrong.
    Any help would be amazing.

    First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board (or USB chip set if that is what you are connecting your Mini to you Mac). Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, locks up, etc., simply power cycling (shutdown & restart) the computer won't work.
    So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac) and then remove the laptop's battery. Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chipset alive.
    Now let it sit for a minute (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now reattach the battery pack plug the power cord back in, & start up the Mac. Now plug in accessories/hard-drives and see if your FW (or USB) ports and the iPod work any better.
    Best of luck!

  • IPod isn't recognized by iTunes (TRIED EVERYTHING!!)

    It still isn't being recognized. It's charing and recognized by Windows, it charges, and it even brings up iTunes when plugged in!

    What do you mean by everything?  Have you really tried all the things on this page? http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/  Note that the iPod should be recognized as a digital camera for the purposes of seeing the pictures taken with the iPod camera and it should be also recognized in iTunes for all other functions.

  • My new iPod isn't recognized by iTunes. Instead it's recognized as a camera. I tried everything apple suggested but nothing seems to help. Is there anything ELSE I can do?

    I Tried everything you guys suggested but none of it seems to help.

  • My new Ipod isn't recognized by Itunes

    My new Ipod Touch 3rd gen (32GB) just arrived. I connected it to my PC and got the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "iPod touch". Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this Ipod to factory settings."
    Well, I did that. The OS's latest version was downloaded. The restore was made. It's now updated to 3.1.2, but the error remains. I keep getting the "iTunes cannot read(...)" message.
    Done the restore about 5 times now. Tried different USB ports. Turned the iPod off and on again. I can use it just fine, can connect to the wifi, use the safari, etc. But can't sync with the iTunes. So, for now I have a good empty iPod Touch.
    OBS.: I have a nano 4th gen (16GB) that works just fine. Itunes version is 9.0.2.25. Bought it new.

    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Imac 10.7.5 doesn't recognize iPod touch 32gb 5th gen, iPad and iPad mini all work ok

    imac 10.7.5 doesn't recognize iPod touch 32gb 5th gen, iPad and iPad mini all work ok.
    Itunes 11.3
    7.1.2 iPod touch 32gb, V/ 5th generation
    I just don't get it. I got the iPod from a friend which didn't use it at all. If I connect my iPad or iPad mini to my mac, they all get connected well and iTunes sees them too. iPod touch not for some reason
    The iPod touch is completely new, no missing contacts etc. It works on other macs as well. Only my iMac doesn't see the iPod Touch. Maybe I can repost this problem in The IMAC section in stead of the iPod Touch, since I think its a iMac problem from now on...
    please help!

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod"

    I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod" - I've had the adapter for several years and I think it's ok for my ipod touch but since it pre-dates both of these products I want to try and make sure it's ok to use with them before I do use it. Thanks.

    If iTunes does not see your iPod then your only hope is a data recovery company. Not cheap.
    However, you may be able to get some photos by:
    Photos
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPOd, iPhone or iPad 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:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

  • My iPad mini won't install the latest update because there isn't enough stprGe. I have deleted everything from my iPad and there still isn't enough storge.

    My iPad mini won't install the latest update because there isn't enough stprGe. I have deleted everything from my iPad and there still isn't enough storge.

    Connect your iPad to your computer and run iTunes. Select your iPad in iTunes and try to run the update there. Updating requires a lot less free space on the iPad when updating through iTunes on a computer because the update files will be downloaded to and extracted on the computer.
