Do the iPod Disk Diagnotic in this excellent post by tt2.
If the report is good
Try using the USB 2.0 port at the back of the PC
Disconnect all other USB devices
Dont use any other Apps while you are syncing or Restoring.the iPod.
Disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or other monitoring software.
Have anice day!

    You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
    Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
    Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
    Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!

  • I cannot open my Itunes? I keep getting this message: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred. (-50) Help! I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall, but get the message that ITunes.msi cannot be found.

    Why am I getting this message when I try to open my ITunes: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)."?

    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • Tried to restart and reset but phone just turns on and displays larga date time with no slide to unlock control visible

    phone is locked up. turned off and tried tried reset several times, phone displays larger font date/time screen but no slide to unlock control is visible

    Try placing the iPod in ecovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would beto wait for the battery to fully drain and the charge and try again.

  • My iphone 5c has been opening apps and typing silly by itself and has become very unresponsive. ive tried rebooting it and restoring but havent resolved the problem? anyone have any solutions as it worked perfectly up until i updated to ios 8.2

    my iphone 5c has been opening apps and typing silly by itself and has become very unresponsive

    If you restored to factory settings without help, your phone has a hardware problem or was hacked/jailbroken at some point.  Take it to Apple for evaluation.  There is nothing further you can do.

  • Ipod nano mounts on desktop but not in itunes

    A brand new ipod nano 4gb, ordered from the online Apple store & a christmas present to my wife, mounts on her powerbook G4 osx 10.3.9, but not in itunes 6.0.1. The latest ipod updater 05-11-17 is installed. I have restored the nano, removed iPodDriver.kext and downloaded and re-installed 10.3.9. Everything seems to work on my G5 which I used to restore the nano using ipod updater 05-11-17.
    What can I try next short of contacting Apple for a new ipod nano?
    1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 15" silver powerbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   512 MB DDR SDRAM

    OK, I restarted the powerbook with the ipod plugged into the computer. Previously I had been plugging the iPod into an active computer. And lo and behold it is now recognized by iTunes. I'm not marking the Question as answered, because it may not work next time.

  • 6th gen nano appears on desktop but not in itunes

    6th gen nano appears on desktop when I plug it in, but not in itunes.  I've never set my ipod to disk mode.  It never did this before, why all of a sudden? Having the same problem when I plug my girlfriends nano into my computer too.  Any advice?  Both my OS and iTunes are at the most up to date versions.
    Thanks, Matt

    Thanks for the response... that still didn't work for me but this latest iTunes update seems to have fixed the problem!

  • My Ipod Touch 4G  is showing up as a storage device in my computer but not on Itunes.

    So I have a Ipod touch 4g. It is showing up as a storage device when I connect it, but not in Itunes or any other third party program. My IPod has connected to this computer before on this version of ITunes and worked fine. Now, it's just not. I really need help. I have tried everything, reseting my Ipod, the services with right clicking computer and clicking manage, reinstalling Itunes (2 times) and restarting, nothing works. I have read tons of other peoples discussions and nothing worked. I have checked for viruses and uninstalled all Third party programs I have, nothing seemed to work. I really need help.
    Thank you!

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • IPod recognised by computer but not by iTunes, Please Help!!

    When i connect my iPod to my computer, the 'do not disconnect' screen appears , and my ipod is shown in 'my computer', but not on iTunes please can anyone help and give suggestions. All replies are gratefully appreciated.

    Peter,
    Peter. I had the same problem (only after installing 5.0.1). The only solution I found to work was to uninstall 5.0.1 and install the previous version that came on the packaged disk.
    Something I noticed, however, is that you can still download and successfully run the most recent iPod updater software. The 9/23/05 iPod updater release works just fine with iTunes 4.7., but it would not recognize the iPod when running 5.0.1 (iPod service error). There is clearly a commong problem with many Windows users with the 5.0.1 release. Don't know if it's a bad iPod service script or what...but it doesn't work for a lot of users (although I, too, had access to the iPod as an external drive in explorer). Haven't seen anything from Apple on it, though.
    Would like to see this fixed, soon!
