Ipod mini 2nd gen 1 gb: not detected by laptop (win 7 64 bit), if detected: error during autofill and cannot be restored, please help :D

My laptop does not detect my ipod mini (2nd gen 1 gb), when i connect it the orange light flashe 2 or 3 times then nothing happens. if ever that it will be detected by my laptop and when i sync music on it there will be an error and itunes will suggest to restore it to its factory setting and if i choose to restore it error 3194 happens. so my top priority of course is for it to be detected then fix the latter. please help any will be much appreciated

This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

  • Ipod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4)

    My new iPod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4). Get error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". It works just fine with my iMac (g4). If iTunes is open the shuffle is just not recognized. Have tried my shuffle on a friend's PowerBook (Intel based) and it works fine. His new shuffle behaves exactly like mine on my powerbook. All other uses with USB ports appear fine - flash drives etc. I did initialize a new flash drive with 128 bit encryption before the 1st attempt to initialize my new shuffle.
    Help! Thanks

    Does it show in Apple System Profiler's USB tree? Have you tried connecting it (through its dock) to another computer?

  • How to resolve error 1437 on ipod mini 2nd gen

    Hi, my ipod mini 2nd gen 6gb is not working properly.  I had to reset it as my file was corrupted.  However, after
    I have reset it, i kept on getting a response such as "the itunes software is not properly installed..not communicating with ipod device,
    reinstall your itunes".  I had to remove and reinstall itunes again and again, but I kept on getting the same reponse whenever I try to
    sync my ipod with my computer.  It is also taking a long time for the computer to recognize my ipod mini.
    Until now the problem is not yet resolved.  Now Im using another computer, and the error that came out --after resetting it again--is
    error 1437.  I am in the dark as to what is the actual problem.  Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Turn off Notifications and turn off BlueTooth if you don't use it. If you really need to, you can turn WiFi off as well.
    Depending on how often you check e-mail, WiFi will turn back on to do that.

  • Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) Does Not Recognize Songs

    My Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) does not recognize the songs that are loaded on it. When I turn it on after a full charge the green light stays on for about 5 seconds then turns off. When I press play, the colors flash orange and green indicating there are no songs loaded. I've tried all the recommendations and also seen that people with similar problems have not been able to resolve the problem as well. I've seen some cases where the use of the Ipod Rest Utility is recommended however I have Vista on my PC and there is no version available for that o/s that I could find. Does anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks.
    Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen)   Windows Vista  

    I changed the iPod to Disk mode and it just blinks orange while it is connected to the PC. It says that it is synched on the PC screen but I thought the blinking orange light means that it isn't. I took it back out of disk mode. The original problem still exists...when I turn it on, the green light stays lit for 5 seconds then there's no light at all....when I press play the lights alternate orange and green indicating no music is loaded which is wrong since it shows all my songs that are loaded when it is connected to my PC. What a mess.

  • IPod Touch (2nd gen) - Does not work with Component AV Cable

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. Today I bought the component AV cable at the Apple store (along with a universal dock). Connected it correctly to the TV and:
    1. No picture (screen is blue, as though nothing connected); no sound (whether video or music)
    2. Whatever video is playing on the actual iPod gets stuck - as though it is on "pause", with the difference that you can push "play" and "pause" and the only thing that does is change the "play" or "pause" icon from one to the other or vice-versa--video will not actually play
    3. Setting Widescreen to "on" or "off" has no effect
    4. Tried connecting it to an old iPod Nano (2nd gen I think) - also no sound.
    Please advise!

    Alex_K
    Try changeing your TV out setting, found in the (Settings) of your ipod. Following Paragraph found in the iPod User manual (Page 98): http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipodtouch
    "Use these settings to set up how iPod touch plays videos on your TV. For more
    information about using iPod touch to play videos on your TV, see “Watching Videos
    on a TV” on page 39.
    Turn widescreen on or off: Choose Video and turn Widescreen on or off.
    Set TV signal to NTSC or PAL: Choose Video > TV Signal and select NTSC or PAL.
    NTSC and PAL are TV broadcast standards. iPod touch displays NTSC 480p/PAL 576p
    when attached to a TV using a component cable, or NTSC 480i/PAL 576i using a
    composite cable. Your TV might use either of these, depending on where you bought
    it. If you’re not sure which to use, check the documentation that came with your TV. "
    Hope that helps,

  • IPod touch 2nd gen will not open in iTunes. Ideas?

    I upgrading the latest version of iTunes and I went to sync my iPod touch 2nd gen to get my latest podcasts and it would not sync or even recognize in iTunes. My PC recognizes the drive. But iTunes is a no go. I suspected it was just the latest version of iTunes so I downgraded back to the previous version and got the same results. I've switched USB ports, cables and have restarted numerous times. I even uninstalled the device from the device manager but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    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
    - New cable and different USB port

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

    Hi,
    my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
    Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

    indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.

    I just bought a 3rd party external power adapter and car charge cable for my iPod mind 2nd gen. Neither one seems to work. The only way I can charge it is via my USB connection. Should 3rd party adapters work or do I need a special one? Should there be an icon on the screen if the adapter is working? Thanks for any help.
