IPod Mini is not recognized by iTunes - I get an error message

Hello,
When I conect my iPod Mni to my computer I get the following error message:
Disk Repair
"The disk "iPod" was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. you must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible."
Then iTunes launches but the iPod is not displayed. It appears as on the desktop as a HD.
I have reset it but still have no luck....Please help...

I am getting a message that IPOD cannot be recognized, it does not show up on the desktop or in itunes. I did the reset and set it as disc but now nothing happens at all. At least before it was showing up on my desktop. Now it does not even show up there. HELP!!!!!!!

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod that will not connect. I keep getting an error message that says "USB Device Not Recognized".  I have tried 3 seperate cables and none of them are working.  Please help!

    It keeps telling me that one of the USB devices for this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.  I have tried all of the ports and still am not having any luck.  I have purchased 3 brand new cables and none of them are working.  I have tried to update the driver but it says I am using the most up to date.  I have tried to reset the Ipod by holding the center button and menu button until the apple appears.  I am not sure what else to try.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  My computer is Windows Vista!

    Hello butterflygirlie,
    Have you tried uninstalling the driver for your iPod from within Device Manager?  After uninstalling it, go ahead and unplug your iPod and plug it back in.  Doing so should cause your system to locate the proper driver for it.

  • My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or give me the battery sign. I have tried toubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but it doesn't work. What do I do to fix it?

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

  • HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • TS1363 My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  Is this repairable?

    My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  I have tried a variety of options, even resetting, but still no luck.

    What does the iPod's screen say or do, when you connect it to USB port on the computer?
    The article referenced is for "regular" iPods.  An iPod touch is an iOS computer, so this article would be more appropriate for troubleshooting.

    Be sure to rule out a faulty USB cable as the cause.  Try another cable, or try the cable you have with another device that has a dock connector.
    Also, you should do this test to rule out a problem with the USB port (such as lack of power or USB device conflict).  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). 
    Then, start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.  If it still does not connect, connect something else to the same USB port to confirm it is working.  Preferably, use something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.
