Ipod not being found (WIndowsVista)

Yea, so, I got a new laptop (HP Pavilion dv6000 w/Windows Vista), and when I plug my iPod into it, it doesn't recognize it at all. It will charge and thats it. It won't recognize on my bf's laptop either (same kind), but his iPod is fine on his and Syncs right away...

  • Ipod not being found by itunes

    When i connect my iPod to my laptop itunes cannot find it. Both iPod and iTunes work perfectly when used seperately but as soon as i attach them the iTunes is classed as *"not responding".* The menu is frozen and i cant select any options despite the iPod screen having "Connected" displayed. When the iPod is then disconnected the message *"The iPod "Mike's iPod" cannot be synced. The requied folder cannot be found"* appears in the box that contains a red cross.
    This means i cannot sync any new material to my iPod. What should i do? Please help as it would be much appreciated and i have tried everything the support site suggests.

  • WD Mybook not being found

    Hi,
    Anybody have any ideas why the WD mybook using firewire or usb is not being found by the iMac?? It had been working fine until a week ago and it will work in a windows enviroment. Any ideas woud be great Thanks.
    Imac 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The format maybe in NTFS (windows), as far as I know macs cant read that, see if Mac OS X can find it by going Macintosh HD > Utilities > Disk Utility or (Spotlight > Disk Utility) and see if you can see it there with your iMac hard disk, if it is unplug it and backup everything on your PC and wipe the external drive, then plug back in your iMac and then go to Macintosh HD > Utilities > Disk Utility or (Spotlight > Disk Utility) and format the external HD in FAT or FAT32 when done unplug and take back to windows pc and copy data back to drive. Try that and post your results

  • IPod not being recognized by iTunes or Windows XP

    I just got a ipod nano for my birthday and I've been trying to set it up for two days, I've got the latest version of Itunes and I've tried everything I could think of and my Ipod is still not being detected by my computer or iTunes. When I plug it into my usb port, it starts to charge but nothing else happens, can someone please help me?

    To resolve this issue i unistalled Itunes and quicktime, then looked for diffrent USB ports once found I put iPod nano in and re-installed Itunes and quicktime

  • IPod Not being recognized with all the software updates

    I've been without my iPod for a few weeks now and I desperately want it back. I dropped it a while back, and have come online to look up stuff to restore it, but none of that is working for me. I reset it by pressing "menu" and "Play" at the same time, then put it into disk mode by pressing the "ff" and "rwd" buttons together, but even in disk mode my computer is not recognizing it at all. The iPod screen says that it is in disk mode, and says it's okay to disconnect, but its not giving me the option to restore when I connect it to my computer and open the iPod updater.
    It also gives me the file folder w/ an exclamation point whenever i don't put it into disk mode. And the few times that my computer does pick up something the iPod updater flashes a message that says "Can't Mount iPod" and then the updater manually closes itself. Anyone know what to do?
    Thanks
    20GB with Dock Connector   Windows XP  

    For "Cant mount iPod" - please try the following first
    Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    If still cant solve it then
    The Sad iPods icon, clicking sound or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
    1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Still can't see your iPod?
    Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
    3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    There are also some cases being reported that some unrecognized iPod being able to be erased with Linux, then reconnect the iPod with the original computer and do a Restore there.
    8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
    9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
    “Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
    - I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
    - I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
    - I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
    My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
    Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
    10. Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
    Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
    Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
    Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
    11. Put your iPod in disk mode and plug with a computer, and have a boot of your computer using the Mac OS or XP startup disks, hope that your iPod will be seen on Mac's Disk utility and allow you to do a Erase there. Or, under the XP, you will be able to find your iPod there for you to do a Restore.
    But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
    I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

  • IPod not being recognised by Windows..cant change the hardis

    All,
    Pls help a iPod freak out. I recently recieved a new ipod via Apples Warrenty conditions sound good right... Wrong!
    My new ipod is not being recognised on my pc.
    I have:
    Reintstalled the latest Ipod Sw 2005-26-6 (and the original version 2004 8-6)when the latest load didnt work. reinstalled iTunes and tried to restore my ipod.. when i do, i have a pop up that says that the ipod is locked!!. I have gone on the aple support website and it tells me to format my ipod for windows i need "iPod for Windows Software 1.0" but it states that this is not found on the Apple website! My original pacjkaging only had the one disc with itunes and ipd sw (no specfic Windows sw)... And even if this sw is on the disc.. it wont connect to my laptop as its formatted for a mac!! Im going on holiday in two days.... PLS HELP ME.

    I have the same problem! My iPod worked for about 2 hours and then, it froze and turned off and now all I get is a sad iPod icon. I have done everything and it will not reset/restor/go into disk mode or anything. I have downloaded all new software and my PC won't recognize anything.

  • Ipod not being recognized by comp or itunes.

    its not being recognize and the prob is not the usb port itself(flashdrives, cameras,ect will work) the comp is a dell and when i do connect it just charges and stuff no actually activity with the comp

    I may have found the problem - a corrupted piece of music.
    Background: My wife's iPod had been giving me fits. Tried syncing it at home and also here on my work computer with the same results...the dreaded I/O error message. It was still under warranty so I sent back to Apple - they returned it citing no problems with the device. When I then tried to sync again same results.
    With iTunes off and the iPod connected, I had to reformat the iPod using My Computer>right click Manage>then click on Disk Management. When the iPod shows up in the right hand screen, right click on it and then format. (This will delete everything on the device but if you cant read it what good is it anyway?) You will get a message that the format cannot be completed. Ignore this message. Disconnect the Ipod.
    With the iPod disconnected, start iTunes. Break your library up into separate playlists like genre, artist, whatever, just so you have it broken up into smaller groups. When you sync later your going to want to sync one playlist at a time until you find the offending group. When finished, leave iTunes running then go ahead and connect your iPod. iTunes will tell you it has found an iPod in recovery mode. Go ahead and restore. When completed, your iPod should restart and be recognized by iTunes. If it does not, physically unplug it then replug it. Do not sync your entire library. Sync only one playlist - then check your iPod. Continue until you find the playlist upon which the I/O error rears its ugly head. Make note of which one that is...then start over with the whole process again.
    This may not work for everyone and it sure is a **** of a lot of trouble. ABBA seems to be the culprit on this one and it is a legit mp3 rip of something we own.

  • Ipod not being recognized

    I have an ipod touch second gen. and I downloaded itunes v.10 2 weeks ago I think, and when I plugged my ipod in, it said it was being recognized as a camera and I disconnected it. Now whenever I plug it in, it's not recognized anywhere on my computer. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes and I plugged it in to my brothers computer (he has v.10 too) and it worked? I did a software update hoping it would fix my problem, but still nothing. Help please?

    Connect your ipod. When you go to My Computer and look for Devices with Removal Storage. Do you see your device?
    If not, go to [iPod not recognized and Windows Device Manager is empty|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1496].
    If it is there go to [iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1496]

  • IPOD Not being Recognised

    After updating my Itunes software, my Ipod is now not recognised by ITunes!
    I have been through all the suggestions, but to no avail!!!
    On top of this I have lost all of my recordings on the Ipod, the only ones left are on the Itunes software on the computer, which doesnt communicate with Ipod!!
    ANY IDEAS!

    Sorry to reply again.. I found this on another post - would you recommend trying it? (I just feel uneasy about deleting the bin file - but if you think it's okay)...
    "The recent iTunes update seems to have left many users iTunes installation from correctly detecting and synchronizing with their iPods. This problem seems to occur when the iPodService files are not updated when iTunes is updated to version 5.
    Steps to resolve the problem:
    1) Click "Start" | "Run..." | type in "net stop ipodservice"
    | click "OK"
    2) Delete the folder "C:\Program Files\iPod\bin"
    3) Run the iTunesSetup.exe installer. It will probably prompt you to either "Repair" or "Remove" iTunes. Choose "Repair" and click on next or finish.
    Optional Step 4) Click "Start" | "Run..." | type in "C:\progra~1\iPod\bin\ipodservice.exe /service"
    | click "OK"
    Optional Step 5) Restart Computer
    If these steps do no resolve the problem, please dont flame me=X
    This is not a problem with Windows XP but with the iTunes installer=)"
