Ipod no longer being registered
I recently registered the Ipod and everything worked fine. However recently the Ipod no longer seems to charge or be registered when I plug it into my mac, it tells me the device is unsupported? But it was only a week ago, and now nothing?
- After connecting to a charger/computer for half an hour try resetting the iPod;
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect to the computer. If iTunes sees the iPod retore the iPOd
- If not shown in iTunes try placing the iPod in recoverymode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Why can't we activate ipod touch after being registered?
Just recieved an ipod touch as a gift. Someone told me that I could just log onto my already existing account with apple because I have an Iphone and just register my Ipod touch. I registered it and it still will not activate. Help
I would uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime and reinstall them. Follow these instructions:

I have an iphone and it is obviously registered to my itunes so i have all my apps and music on it and my sister just got the new ipod touch and wants my apps and music and so i went to register it to my itunes to sync my music and apps to it just before her birthday but itunes crashed on one of the stages (the final stage i think) of registartion and so i had to close itunes and start it up again but it didnt give me the steps to register the ipod again and now when i connect it i go onto the ipod button and it is just blank with ipod written in the middle with no autofill buttons or sync buttons or any automatic fills and i cant drag music onto it either. Is there anything i can do?
- You need to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and start anew. Is the restore button visable in iTunes? If it is they restore the iPod.
- If it is not visible try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If the restore button is still not visable, try placing the iPod in recovry mode. See:

IPod not longer being recognized by PC?
Hi
I have a 4th Gen. iPod touch running 4.3.5. Yesterday I synced up my iPod fine. Today I tried but alas, it won't be recognised by the computer. It's not charging, nor is it showing up as any connected USB device.
Tried it on my other computer, same problem. Tried resetting it, same problem.
When I connected it to my wall charger, it will charge fine.
I have no idea what's wrong, it's like it arbirtrarily decided it doesn't like working on PCs.See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod no longer being recognized by my computer after downloading itune10.2
My iPod 4 - 64 was syncing and fully functional with iTunes version 10.1. The iTunes application suggested I upgrade to version 10.2. While upgrading my computer to iTunes version 10.2, the iTunes install application crashed. I re-downloaded the install application again. Then I did the iTunes version 10.2 install again. The install application asked if I want to fix (repair), or delete and reinstall. The install application was installed numerous times. Finally the install was successful, but the iPod was not recognized on any of my computers or Itunes. Has any one had this problem? I Have all the correct drivers for the USB for all of my computers they are all up to date. I authorized the computer. There are no virus on any of the computers. I have researched the problem and still have not found a solution. I am hoping someone one here will have a solution.
Thank you for
your Help

IPod no longer registering in Windows or iTunes
I am registering this as a new thread as the previous two related threads are marked as answered and it is obvious from the content that they are definitely not!
I have a problem with my 30GB iPod no longer registering in Windows or in iTunes since I updated to iTunes 7.1.1.5. In my case when I plugged in my iPod not only did iTunes not recognise it but iTunes froze and my whole laptop slowed until I forced iTunes closed.
I have tried all remedies previously mentioned but no success. The 'reset all settings' mentioned in previous thead has not worked either but at least iTunes does not now freeze when I plug my iPod in.
My iPod works with my daughters laptop operating on Windows 2000. Is this therefore a problem with the new iTunes and Windows XP? I notice all the other people with problems are running XP. If so is this a bug and can Apple release a fix?
Dell Latitude Windows XP Pro with SP2I am adding to this thread as well because I am having exactly the same problem. Sorry if it seems a bit long, but I want all to have as much info as possible.
Things started "not" happening after install of Itunes 7.1.1.5. I can no longer see my ipod in windows or itunes. It works fine for playing. It charges and everything, but it has become a big no erasable mp3 player.
I have tried just about every option on all of the threads I have read on this forum. I have spent days on this and still no progress. Forget being solved, I hven't seen any positive results yet from any of these suggestions. I know they don't all apply to the same computers but I still have tried the 5 R's., delete USB controllers and reinstall, attempted new driver, but there wasn't one. I've tried every usb port available on the machine. I've tried the reset, the disk mode, everything on these forums. I think I might be missing steps but I'm usually pretty thorough.
Did I mention, I've tried this on 2 different machines? Both had itunes 7.1.1.5 installed. I'm afraid to try any other machines, in fear of having the same happen and if it is itunes, I potentially will mess up the machine(s) for nothing.
Any help with a new soltuion would be greatly appreciated.
My last resort would be to call Apple, but from comments on the forum, it might not be helpful. And sending it back for a new one doesn't seem to make a difference after reading the forums.
So please......any new ideas? Apple please help. -

my ipod touch 2g is no longer being recognized by itunes why and what can i do i have reset it and everything
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Tried to restore my ipod classic on a windows computer... there was some sort of failure and it is now stuck in "disk mode." The ipod is no longer being recognized by itunes.
I am having the exact same problem. My ipod has been stuck in disk mode for over two hours and now itunes is frozen.

What used to work just fine, is no longer working...
Within the last 2 days, song purchases that were made on my ipod Touch are no longer being transferred when the ipod synchs up. The strange thing is that the songs appear in iTunes --> Store -- Purchased list, but are greyed out. They play just fine on the ipod...but aren't making it back to the Mac.
I have tried right clicking on the ipod when it appears in iTunes and selecting "Transfer purchases", but that doesn't seem to work either.
Any clues as to what is going on?
Thanks,
TimOne other very important piece of information I forgot to include...the purchases were made prior the iOS update. So the sequence of events went like this:
1) ipod Touch with previous iOS (4.0 I think)
2) purchases made
3) ipod connected and iTunes prompts for iOS update
4) iOS upgraded to 5.0
5) Now the purchases seem to be stranded on the ipod Touch
Thanks! -
Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.
I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync! -
