Ipod is not recognized by my iTune nor my computer::::::please help me!!

since yesterday i have been transferring my music perfectly fine. today for some reason, i accidently took my ipod shuffle out witout pressing the eject button or clicking the safely remove device from my computer. Later it says that there was a song in my ipod that was corrupt. Later i tried to transfer music from my itunes to the ipod which it did successfully. But when i tried to eject my ipod, it says that "cannot eject my ipod from the computer because there is another program using it" . So i went online to find out how to resolve it and it says that if my ipod is corrupt i should restore. That is exactly what i did and i updated my itunes and restored my ipod by following their instructions. As it was going through the first stage of restoring, it stopped before it reached stage 2 and then a window came up that says i can't restore the ipod. Now, all my songs in my ipod is erased, my computer doesn't recognize my ipod shuffle and i can't listen to ipod or transfer music to it? what should i do?!!!

Hi - We seem to have encountered the same problem!! I forgot to eject the ipod from itunes last night and now itunes will not recognise the ipod. The pc recognises it in device settings, but you cannot restore it from that point. I have downloaded the restore function, but the restore button does not highlight, so that is no good.
I am in a dilema here because no one seems to know how to fix the problem, I've only had it a couple days!!!
PLEASE HELP ANYBODY!!!

My iPod is not recognized by my PC nor any other device.

My iPod is not recognized by my PC nor any other device (GPS suport, loudspeakers, etc). I've restored it, but still is not recognized by any device. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.

If your iPod does not have volume buttons on the upper left edge or an internal speaker it is a 1G (original iPod) that can be updated as far as 3.1.3

Hi braddyloopy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, your music files should not be erased or affected in any way. It is always a good idea to back up your data before making any changes to your computer, though.
If you'd like to locate your music, this article explains how to find the files:

Try

I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or

Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs

it worked perfectly for me!make sure to follow the directions. it's easy and resolves many Windows XP problems related to ipods. for more info try microsoft help and support and just serch for ipod. it list a bit more info there. it doesn't say anything about reinstalling the apple software, but just to be thorough i unistalled itunes and quicktime before anything just to start with a clean slate, then reinstalled them from my ipod disk after the restart. then i downloaded all the updates from apple. my ipod has never worked better. good luck. theres no link to the page just search for ipod in windows help and support for exact text...

IPod does not show up in iTunes or My Computer when its plugged in

I've tried several iPods (all 5th gen 30gig) on my system. The first one I tried worked fine (but sadly wasn't mine!), but none of the others tried since have ever worked, even though they work on other systems.
The problem is that when I plug the iPod in neither iTunes nor My Computer sees the iPod. The PC knows it's there because the iPod shows up under "Other Devices" in Device Manager. (On a system where the iPod is working properly it shows up as a Disk Drive in Device Manager, by the way.)
I've tried all the fixes on the Apple support site, working my way through the relevant piece (61711) on the Apple knowledge base. I've also upgraded to iTunes 7 and read the new stuff on similar problems encountered by some people upgrading and tried the fix just posted on the front page of the Apple support site but it didn't work (I got this problem long before upgrading to v7, so I guess it wasn't aimed at my issue.)
Any ideas?
Oh and I ran the iTunes diagnostics tool and it generated all this stuff below, which might be relevant - who knows?

IPOD shuffle not recognized by Windows/Itunes - download installation SW

I have used a 2G Ipod shuffle successfully on one Dell Windows XP PC for over one year. Have Itunes 7.02 on an identical Dell PC. Plugged shuffle into usb port(s)on second PC - shuffle light turns green momentarily and then off. Shuffle recognized by neither Windows nor Itunes. Went thru the various fixes in apple ipod support to no avail. One suggested fix was to reinstall the IPOD software from the CD that came with the shuffle. Unfortunately, I cannot find the CD and find a link on the apple website to download the corresponding software.
Suggestions?

I have a solution, derived after some 16 hours of
messing about with the shuffle, reading and
re-reading the forum posts, trying to get my PC to
recognize it, and hold the USB connection without the
old Malfunction bubble ... my advice is free ... take
the shuffle back! I swapped for a 2G Nano, and
within 5 minutes I was off and away! Go Apple GO!
The highly experienced sounding tech at the store
was also at a loss.
If you read the OP's plaint carefully you'd have noticed what's being talked about is a Shuffle that's over a year old... Thus, unless OP has AppleCare, taking it back is not an option.

IPod is not recognized by Windows, iTunes or Device Manager

I'm running Windows XP with external hard drive. When hard drive is connected, iPod will not sync and I get message stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices had malfunctioned..."
When disconnect, iPod will sync. However, iTunes is on external drive; therefore musc is not syncing onto iPod. I've attempted the 5 R's as well as searching for iPod in Device Mananger. When iPod is conncected, it is listed in Devce Manage as "Unknown Device." Articles to solve recommend relettering device, bu how do I get it to be recognized by Device Manager?

I HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO THAT I JUST BOUGHT MY 30GB IPOD VIDEO ABOUT 4 HOURS AGO, SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN REALLY STRUGGLING TO INSTALL IT. A SOON AS I GOT IT, I DID EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID, I WENT TO WWW.APPLE.COM/IPOD/START AND DOWNLOADED THE NEWEST ITUNES VERSION. THEN I PLUGGED IN MY IPOD TO MY COMPUTER, AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS A LITTLE BUBBLE OPENS UP AND SAYS "FOUND NEW HARDWARE" WHEN I CLICK THAT, IT OPENS UP, AND I CLICK "INSTALL THE SOFTWARE AUTOMATICALLY" WHERE IT SAYS IT, THEN I CLICK NEXT AND WAIT. AFTER, IT SAYS "THE HARDWARE WAS NOT INSTALLED BECAUSE THE WIZARD CANNOT FIND THE NECESARRY SOFTWARE".AFTER I WENT TO WWW.APPLE.COM TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, I'VE LOOKED THROUGH AND READ EVERY ARTICLE THAT CAN PERTAIN TO MY SITUTAION, BUT NONE HAVE HELPED ME I AM DISPLEASED TO SAY, THE LAST ARTICLE I READ WAS THIS ONE:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
BUT EVEN THAT DOES NOT HELP ME BECAUSE WHEN I GET TO STEP 8 WHICH SAYS "Locate the iPod in this list. In some cases one of the entries will have "iPod" in its name. If no such entries are present, the iPod is most likely represented by "USB Mass Storage Device." I LOOK FOR WHERE IT SAYS "IPOD" OR "USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE" UNDER "UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLERS, AND CANNOT FIND EITHER THING..I HAVE RESTARTED MY COMPUTER A NUMBER OF TIMES, I HAVE EVEN UNISTALLED ITUNES THEN REINSTALLED IT I HAVE STRETCHED EVERY OPTION AND NOTHING HAS WORKED..CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME??..I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT STOPPING ONLY TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AND GRAB A BITE TO EAT..

IPod Touch not recognized in Windows & iTunes won't start unknown error -50

I have been trying to fix a connectivity issue with my iPod touch for almost 6 hours now. I've read all over the iPod Touch forums and none of the solutions worked for me. I've installed and uninstalled iTunes multiple times and nothing seems to work.
Also, earlier this evening iTunes was working but it wouldn't recognize my iPod touch although it would charge. Now that iTunes won't start I'm also having problems with charging my iPod and at no time, was my iPod ever recognized in 'My Computer'.
Someone please help! I'm at my wits end without being able to use and update my iPod. All help/insight/suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance!

how did you test that ?
anyhoo, you might want to give this a shot:

+Restart the device without connecting to your pc and+
+Connect to pc and restart again, I did this 2 times and it was recognized and its working fine.+
+Best of luck.+
here's the original thread: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-17997-ipod-not-detected
if still no joy, it could be that your Touch is a goner. if it is still under warranty, you should plan a trip to the nearest Apple store.

IPod Touch not recognized since upgrading iTunes to version 11.1.4

After upgrading from iTunes version 11.1.3.64 to version 11.1.4.64, my iPod Touch will no longer be recognized in iTunes (but is recognized by my computer - can view drive). I've restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service and the iPod Service with no luck. I've also tried a system restore but the restore point was not early enough (was post iTunes upgrade). How do I revert back to the previous version of iTunes? I have Windows 8. Thanks.

Hey BobDLT,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. The following article outlines some great troubleshooting steps for this issue. While you may have already attempted some of these steps, I see that there are some that have not yet been attempted. It might be a good idea to run through the entire article:

3rd generation iPod Touch not recognized by Mac & iTunes!

My 3rd generation ipod touch is not recognized on iTunes but is recognized when I plug it into a different computer. I've tried reinstalling iTunes numerous times and have referred to other online tutorials. With no success, my iPod will still not show up on my Macbook, and I've never experienced a problem like this before with either device. My mac and itunes still recognize my iPhone so I don't know why they would recognize one device but no the other. Solutions?
Any feedback will help greatly. Thanks.

It should work fine. I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.
