Ipod not being detected on my dell latitude620

I just got a dell latitude 620 laptop
My ipod is being detected as a "device"
My ipod will charge, but itunes does not recognize it.
I've uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it twice.
And tried about 90% of what apple support suggests
There is nothing wrong with the laptop...that im aware of.
Please help

When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall *everything*? Take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 , and make sure you completely uninstall iTunes, including the drivers, before you reinstall. If that doesn't work, you might try going back to the last version of iTunes you knew was working -- at least, that will eliminate the question of whether it is iTunes or the iPod. Lastly, sometimes rebooting either the computer and/or the iPod (remember the 5Rs) can sometimes solve the issue.

Click the Start Menu, right->click on Computer and choose Manage. When the when comes up, make sure you click on the Device Manager in the left hand pane of iTunes.
Is your iPod listed as unknown or anywhere under the USB section? If you do find it, try right->clicking on it and choose Update driver or uninstall. Then unplug the iPod for a few sections and then plug it back in.

Ipod not being detected by Windows

Hey! I've asked this question before, but no one has given me anything yet. Not being selfish or anything. But when I put in my ipod my computer tells me:
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.
For that, Itunes doesn't detect it either. Can't put songs on when that happens and it leads to an very distressed kid. Can someone help me and others who have this problem?

but then I'll have to get all the song from CD's again.
If they are all in your iTunes library and you sync your iPod, when you get a new iPod, you just need to sync it to the library. If you've been manually managing your iPod's content, and the songs are not stored on your computer, well, you were taking a chance that the iPod would break or get lost.

IPod not being detected by iTunes..

Alright, so lately been iTunes decides to not copy some video files converted with Videora, but didn't really care till I had this video really wanted to watch. So, I check Apple Support>Do5 5Rs, which when I get upto Restore,it does nothing but copy less video files after, and 105 podcasts out of 255! GR8, how useful! Give it another try, and now it fails, and after that I cannot detect the iPod at all!!!!!!!
I did Diagnostics and it does find iPod, the program detects it but it fails a sync test, interestingly enough it doesn't show it as a device!!!!
Also, I reinstalled, cleared Registry, did the Windows Installer Clean thingie, deleted Temp, did Disk Mode, nothing. When connected, just says on iPod, connected, eject b4 disconnecting!
So, what to do?

Alright, fixed by going to My Computer> selecting the iPod and doing Disk Check, and automatically fix errors, the first one.
But prob now is it still won't sync all the videos, why?!!!

Ipod not being detected by windows. please help!!!

I have an iPod 30 gb. Serial No- 8L647801V9K
Its about two years old.
All of a sudden one fine day, it stopped showing up on my the computer. Neither does itunes detect it nor does internet explorer. A bubble shows up saying the usb device attached has malfunctioned. It doesnt even charge.
I tried resetting it(centre + Menu)
then i thought my usb cable was bad.
i bought another one and the same problem continues.
i even tried the diagnostic option in itunes to detect ipod.
the ipods completely dysfunctional when connected via either of my two cables.
the 'do not disconnect sign' doesnt come and neither does the battery charging one.
there's nothing wrong with my computer or my usb because i tried my ipod with two other computers as well.
But funny enough, the ipod charges with the adaptor.
im totally stumped
i hope i manage to get this issue sorted out.
i feel lost without being able to update my ipod or sync my playlists.
please help me
thanks

So then it is a Classic model and not a 5th generation model?

im in a fix
i cant update my ipod or sync anything
can anyone please help me out

I have the same problem wiht my 5g 60GB unit, the USB driver reinstall method from the iPod support page does not work, I tried most solutions you find online, 5R's, restarting the PC, cheching the drivers, etc. the last 2 solution I'll try before getting a new mainboard (just to save all the Backup data I have on its disk) to see if it works are:
1.- Connecting it to a Mac, to let it mount, disconnect it safely and test again in a PC. (It worked before with several USB memory drives that weren't recognized after being unplugged from a PC without the proper procedure)
2.- Try with a FireWire cable.
I've been struggling with this for about 2 weeks and those are the only two choices left, during the week I'll check with a friend's Mac (how I miss Mine!) and will keep you posted.
See ya

Ipod not being detected on itunes

why isnt itunes detecting my ipod touch, iv re-installed itunes and restarted computer and ipod, iv tried different cables, nothings happening?
(ipod just bought today)

Look at the applicable article for help:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

3rd gen 20GB iPod not being detected / freezing computer

One day I plugged in my iPod before I left for work so it would charge, and when I came back it was still stuck on the do not disconnect screen. This was before I knew you could reset the iPod with the select/menu buttons, so I just left it for a bit. Then I went on here to figure out how to reset it, did it, then there was the corrupted file error.
Ever since then, whenever I plug the iPod into the computer, it basically freezes anything that the iPod is related to and stays at the do not disconnect screen. If I have My Computer open, it locks up, and after maybe 20 minutes, "Removable Disk" shows up, and when I right click it, it locks up for a long time again. If I restart with the iPod still plugged in, it freezes at the empty desktop without the start bar even loaded until I unplug it.
I have tried 4 of the 5 R's MANY MANY times. I've been trying to restore many times too, but when I load the updater, it freezes as well, and eventually says could not mount iPod. I have tried uninstalling the drivers for the device, only to have it re install them and have the exact same problem. I have tried loading the iPod on my sisters computer but it froze as well. I have tried different USB ports, and different cables. I have no idea what to do. I don't care if I lose everything, if that's what it takes just to be able to use it again (I have all the songs on my computer), but like I said, I can't even restore it.
Oh, I also tried configuring it as if it was the first time using the iPod, and it froze as well.
Windows XP

I forgot to add that it heats up when it's frozen, connected to the computer.
And also, when I try to play music, it plays a random amount of the song. Just randomly in the middle of the song, or even 10 seconds in, it freezes for like 30 seconds then goes to the next song. I haven't found one working song yet. And yes, it is random, I have heard like 2 minutes of a song thats only worked for 10 seconds previously, so obviously the data is still obtainable, I don't know why it isn't working.

My Ipod Nano 5th generation is not being detected by Widows and Itunes. I have tried everything based on the trouble shooting tips outlined. Has anyone had this situation before? How was it resolved. My Ipod is just out of warrenty

Have done all trouble shooting tech a through Apples and still have not resolved issues on Windows and itunes not detecting my Ipod nano 5th generation device. Tried restoring the device manually using disk mode and still not being detected by the computer. Device is our of warenty as when service repair charges are $125.00 dolars more than I paid for this device. There must be some way to restore the entire device to factor settings without having to be connected to itunes and Windows. I wish I could connect but again device is not being read. I have another Ipod that is 8GB instaed of 16GB and it works fine. The sad thing about this situation is that my 9year old daughter worked hard doing delivering fliers for a long time to save her money to buy this 16 GB 5th generation Nano. Otherwise the Ipod works well but will not syncronize songs as it is not being detected. Maybe this is a result of corrupt files that got onto my daughters Ipod somehow and thus causing it not the be detwected through the USB connection thus as a result not be understoud as a working device through Windows and itunes. If anyone can help me out there including itune techs that would be well appreciated, but for now my daughter is not able to add new or delete any songs on her ipod as well pictures, and everything. Thanks

Try changing the cord. I could NOT get my computer to recognize my iPod 5th Gen until I read somewhere that different apple devices use different cords. I was inadvertently using my iPad cord and that caused my computer to not recognize my ipod.

Ipod 4g 32G not turning on, not charging (on multiple cords, both comp and wall, 4 20min), not being detected by Itunes or Windows 7 64bit OS, will not reset, tried taking it out of "DFU", NO DMG, Itunes up2date, All I'm getting is a blank black scrn

Ipod Touch 4th generation 32G not turning on, not charging.
I have used multiple cords on both computer USB and wall USB converters. I let it sit there for over 20 min with each attempt.
It is not being detected by Itunes or my Windows 7 64bit OS. I have tried all 4 of my USB ports (both USB 2.0 and 3.0), with 3 different chargers.
Holding home and power button will not reset.
Tried taking it out of "DFU" mode but Itunes won't detect it, I didn't think that would work anyway.
NO DAMAGE, I have been very careful with it, aside from a few minor scratches. (that you can't even see unless the light reflects them)
My Itunes is up to date, as is my OS.
All I'm getting is a blank black screen. It has been working fine on this computer before. I have no idea what could have happened. I'm at my wits end here.

See if you missed anything here:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod touch 5th generation had white screened an it won't let me rest it by holding down the home button an the power button for ten seconds I've pulled it in to iTunes an its not being detected what can i do as its starting to over heat?

If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.

IPhone 6 and iPod Touch 5 not being detected by iTunes 12

iPod 5 and iPhone 6 is not being detected after I downloaded iTunes 12.1.2
Tried changing the lightning conductor, that didn't help either.
Re-installed iTunes but it was of no use. :/

See iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
