IPOD NO LONGER RECOGNIZED BY ITUNES - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When connecting to I-Tunes my Ipod now appears only as 'IPOD'
The Windows 'Autoplay' box appears on the left hand side of my screen.
Everything then freezes for a short while then an error message says that I-Tunes has detected an Ipod that is corrupted.
My Ipod itself is fine so I'm reluctant to restore if that will not solve the problem.
Is something to do with an automatic software update?
Please help......................

  • Video IPOD no longer recognized by Itunes and wont Update

    This is a long complicated issue. My Ipod has been working flawlessly until 2 weeks ago. Someone tried to plug it up to their computer to charge it and it wiped out my library and added their library. At first i was thinking no big deal, i will just reconnect it with my computer and it will load my library back on. However once connected to my computer it is not recognized by itunes. So i did a reset , which seemed to be working great and it started "updating" about 80% through that process it gave me an error message that says " This disc can not be written to or written from" now I have no idea why it would say that? and although it seems completely wiped out and useless, it still shows that much memeory is missing in the "about ipod" screen on the ipod. So i know the information is there somewhere , somehow?... Anyway I dont know what to do, Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Oh and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Itunes program to make sure it is up to date. WOuld adding new songs to my library have caused this problem?

    1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
    2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    See if those two steps clear up your problem.

  • Ipod no longer recognized by itunes

    I have gone through the process of resetting the ipod as per the apple help website. "Toggle hold switch, hold menu and select button till apple logo appears, then try and put it into disk mode.. it pops up on my desktop in diskmode but it still wont get recognized by iTunes. And when I tried to just drag a folder of music to the ipod in disk mode, the space gets taken up but there is no sign of it on the actual ipod.
    I am not sure what else to do to get this ipod restored and dump new songs on it. If possible I would like to bypass using iTunes to load songs. any help is appreciated. THNAKS!
    NOTE: it charges while its plugged in, it just has no recognition by iTunes.  I am using OS Mavericks as well. 
    It also seems as though the space is all occupied on the ipod but nothing new has shown up.  Can I just erase this ipod and start fresh?  I am all updated on iTunes as well..
    TL;DR:  Ipod charges/shows up in disk mode; not recognized in iTunes on Mavericks or 10.6

  • IPOD no longer recognized by iTunes after newest upgrade!!!!

    I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My IPOD is now not recognized by Itunes. I get this message: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software". I followed the instructions and I also downloaded the latest iPod updater software. Restarted the computer only to get the same message - OVER AND OVER.
    I have never had this issue prior to downloading this newest upgrade. A patch or resolution is needed ASAP to fix this issue. People invest TOO MUCH money in these products for something silly like this to occur.

    However, iTunes now want's me to update to a new version (1.4)!?! Should I do this or wait until Apple fixes 1.5?
    hi John!
    hmmm. do you mean itunes 5.0.1.4? what version of itunes are you running currently? (just to be on the safe side, let's head into your itunes "help > about" and check to see precisely which version number scrolls up from the bottom.)

  • IPod Touch NOT recognized in iTunes : HELP NEEDED

    My Ipod Touch is NOT being recognized by itunes.
    -Ipod Touch 3g with 4.3 software
    -iTunes 10.2
    -PC: HP Pavilion Dv6.
    -OS: Windows 7 64-bit [Eng]
    Ok so... I previously kept my ipod touch version as 3.1.3, and only used itunes 9.2 because I tried using itunes 10.1 and my ipod wouldn't work with it, so I downgraded back to itunes 9.2.
    With this, everything was working perfectly fine.
    I recently bought an app from the app store (Infinity Blade) and tried to sync and install it onto my ipod touch 3g.
    itunes had a popup reading that it couldn't be installed as my software had to be 4.1 or higher.
    So, I decided to update my ipod.
    Like I said above, I tried using itunes 10.1 with my ipod but it wouldn't recognize it then either, so I went back to using itunes 9.2.
    Because of this, I had to manually install the 4.3 software onto my ipod.
    Tried using my newly updated ipod (4.3) on my itunes 9.2, and it said it didn't work, that I needed the new itunes.
    So, I installed iTunes 10.2, plugged in my ipod touch 3g with 4.3 software,
    my computer said it downloaded the Apple Device drivers successfully. My ipod shows that it is being charged, but it is still not being recognized in itunes.

    Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

  • My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes.

    Hi There,
    The title actually says it all..
    (My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes 7.4.2, although the iPod works fine.. iTunes keeps saying to reset it, but I don't see why I should)
    The iPod seems to work just fine, so I'm not in a big hurry to erase all my songs audio books etc..
    I am thinking that this is a problem with Macintosh iTunes version 7.4.2, from what I'm seeing, but how should I proceed?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Eric

    Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you.  Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

    Hello, Pete. 
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    My ipod no longer syncs with iTunes and my computer. It shows up under devices, but not in itunes.  I installed an update from Apple yesterday.
