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..

  • 30 GB Ipod Video not recognized by either Windows or Itunes

    Hi,
    I purchased a new 30 GB iPod Video (5th generation) today to replace my old iPod photo. It's been charging for a few hours, but when I plug it into the computer there is hardly any recognition. Windows will make the "you plugged in a USB" noise but that's it. The iPod will not go into "DO NOT DISCONNECT" mode, nor will iTunes recognize the iPod.
    iTunes is updated, and I tried many of the tips on the pages here. I've also tried to reset it by holding the menu and enter buttons, and it reset, but there was no recognition. I even tried toggling the hold switch back and forth a few times and I got noting.
    I'm seriously perplexed, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • IPod shuffle not recognized by pc (windows 7)

    I found my old iPod shuffle (A1112, 512 MB). It still works (turns on and plays music). The only issue I have is I can't get my pc or iTunes to recognize it. I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit. I have updated to the latest iTunes version (10.6.1.7). When I connect it to my PC it just blinks it's orange light and I get a pop-up saying that the device was not recognized. Any help?

    Is your iTunes and PC update to date?  Do you have any other USB devices connected to your PC?
    If you open up Device Manager, (click Start, right->click on Computer and choose Manage), you should see a list of devices on your system. Do you see any entry related to your iPod, perhaps even an entry with an exclamation point next to it listed anywhere?

    Did you reinstall itunes, using a new download from the Apple homepage?
    Is your ipod showing in the system profiler/ usb highspeed ports?
    Did you already reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up?

  • IPod Touch not being recognised in Windows XP or iTunes - HELP!!!!!

    Hi.
    I have just bought a 16gb iPod Touch which I am trying to use on Windows XP.
    When I connect the iPod to my PC it brings up the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' but does not open up iTunes.
    On the Hardware Wizard it trys to search for the driver but cannot locate it, whenever it tries to search it comes back saying "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot locate the necessary software".
    I have uninstalled iTunes, Apple Software Updater and Apple Mobile Device Support, and then reinstalled these with iTunes V7.5, but can't get anything to work so that my iPod comes up in iTunes.
    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!! Thanks.

    Hi, sounds like me and CJ2000 are having exactly the same problem!
    I've gone through all of the suggested fixes, and spent 78 minutes on the phone to Apple Care last night but still not working.
    But, I just tried it with my friends PC and it worked fine, so its definitely a PC issue. What I noticed was that when I plugged it into the other PC it brought up a bubble saying "found new hardware", but then straight away found the USB Driver without needing the "Found New Hardware Wizard". iTunes then opened up automatically.
    It seems that my PC seems to have problems locating the USB Driver for the Touch, any suggestions?
    Thanks very much.

  • IPod is not recognized in windows

    My iPod is not recognized in either Windows 7 or iTunes.  The iPod was jail breaked and that may have an impact.  I did a reset to remove all files and now all I can do with it is view the logo on the screen.  Help.

    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

  • Ipod is not recognized, and doesn't show up in my computer services. Why? And how can I fix this issue?

    My ipod is not recognized on my windows 7 anymore. Drivers are up to date and working properly, everything on my computer is fine, it's just my Ipod. It does not show up in my "Services". It's not my computer, because it doesn't work on any other computers either. I do not know what to do, and I really need help please.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    I have a 30Gb ipod.A few days ago it ran out of battery.and now ive been trying to charge it on my computer but it gets stuck on the black screen with the apple in it and keeps making some weird "start up" sounds all the time.I've tried resetting, reinstalling iTunes and a lot of other guides that ive been searching throughout the internet.I've ran out of options so I'd like to know if anyone could help.
    Issues: 1-Ipod is stuck on black screen and doesnt charge
    2-Ipod is not recognized by either windows or Itunes
    3-When i try to put him and bring it back from disk mode it keeps the same.
    I think that's all.any questions anyone might have please post it here.Don't suggest to try and make him run out of batteries cuz it doesnt stay on for long.It stays on the black screen and then shuts off.any help/hint/suggestion that doesn't involve buying a new one is appreciated :/

  • My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

    My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.  The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device.  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect.  The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable.  When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine).  There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo.  Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?  I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
