Ipod not being recognized by itunes--was a few weeks ago--have not done 1.1

hi. i have not installed the 1.10.2006 update as i've seen lots of people have problems with that on these boards. however, today when i tried to sync my ipod, the usb port did not recognize it was there and itunes was not automatically pulled up. so i could not update my music, nor could i do the new firmware install if i wanted to. those programs are not recgonizing that the ipod is plugged in.
i've tried to reinstall itunes, that didn't help. tried to get all the windows updates, but ms couldn't verify my os is valid (it totally is). i've reset my ipod several times and would restore it, excpet the updater doesn't recognize it's plugged in. the battery is fully charged.
i've also had problems with the ipod not turning on or off, or skipping 4+ songs when i try to just skip ahead one.
not sure what the deal is, and i'd appreciate any help.
thanks.

Hi.
You could try to restore it once more. Do you use the same computer all of the time? Do you manually sync music, or automatically sync?
I guess you are running Windows, so iTunes could have hidden some files which didn't delete when you first uninstalled. Take a look at this:

If you do this, after you have re-installed, you could then try the disk mode if it doesn't connect.

  • Scans come out small on epson DX7400 - fine until a few weeks ago, have not changed any settings

    Until a few weeks ago, scanning with Epson DX7400 was fine, scans came out original size.   Now they flash original size on the screen then immediately become small.   Double clicking opens to correct size, but not if attached to an email.
    Zooming makes them totally illegible.
    Also having problems now with printing envelopes.
    Any thoughts please?  Driving me mad.   Dowloaded what seems to be latest drivers today, but no difference.

    I didn't know about Image Capture, so thanks for this.
    I tried it and it works fine - except the result is exactly the same.
    Another problem with printing envelopes on my iSensys appeared at the same time as the Epson problem.
    Whatever Apple has done, I'm much vexed!
    But appreciate your trying to help.

  • HT1369 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 and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    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!

    Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
    Thanks

    My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:

  • My Ipod 7th gen is not being recognized by itunes and Windows 8.1.

    Hello. My ipod 7th gen is not being recognized by itunes and Windows 8.1. When I connect my ipod to my computer, itunes will open automatically and a message bar below will appear:

    An ipod has been detected but could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect ipod, then try again. If the problem persists, unisntall itunes then install itunes again.

  • Help! my ipod stopped being recognized by itunes

    I plugged my ipod in (i have a pc). it updated, and had finished updating (stopped saying do not unplug)...
    then, out of boredom, i changed the name on my ipod icon in itunes, and then i looked at my ipod and everything was gone, all songs, all everything. so i unplugged it and plugged it back in again and it said this:
    "cannot recognize ipod. use ipod updater application to restore ipod to factory settings."
    according to the support website, there is nothing wrong with me changing the name on my ipod, and it shouldn't have caused everything to be erased. so, after poking around on the help website, it suggested i reset my ipod, so i did, and that didn't work. i looked up instructions on how to do restore it to the factory settings, and it had me download the software updater, but that didn't do anything, and it still doesn't register.
    also, i just looked in the "about" option on my ipod, and it says that somewhere all of my songs are on there, because i have 3.7 free gb, and 18.5 used. which sounds about right, except that all my songs are gone.
    help, please!!!!

    oh also. i forgot a few things. first, itunes completely stopped recognizing my ipod, so i can't change my name back to what it used to be.. every time i try to plug it in, the same error message comes up.
    and, also, when i said "it had me download the software updater, but that didn't do anything and it still doesn't register" i mean that its still not being recognized by itunes.
    when i looked at the link for restoring factory settings, it didn't make sense to me. i couldnt do the first steps because itunes isn't recognzing anything... i downloaded the updater it told me to, but it wouldn't let me do the whole "start" "run" thing, and i'm not really sure how to do that or how its relevant to what i downloaded, so if whoever helps me out on this could either clarify those instructions or give me different ones, i'd appreciate it.
    sorry this is so long-winded.
    I just got this last week, i'm kinda sad/annoyed that i'm having problems already.
    thanks for any help in advance.

  • IPhone not being recognized by iTunes

    My iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes. I have iPhone original version with the latest software OS update. The phone was reset because of unrelated problems, and I need to connect to iTunes for it be operational! iTunes 9.1 on my computer... my iPad syncs with no problem but the iPhone is not even showing up as a device on the iMac or MacBook!
    I have followed the steps on the Apple Support website, but the problem persists. What to do next?
    thanks

    Your computer detail provided indicates you have a Mac and the link you provided is for Windows - at least for the software conflicts portion the link went directly to, although some of the troubleshooting steps are similar.

  • My Iphone 3gS is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging so the USB port is working properly. My wifes Iphone IS being recognized by the same laptop. My Iphone IS being recognized by the desktop computer and another laptop

    My Iphone is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging, so the USB port is working. My Iphone does work on another Laptop in the house and My wifes Iphone is being recognized on the same laptop that mine is not. Any suggestions?

    The key bit of information here is that one iPhone works on the computer in question and another does not. So it is unlikely that AMDS is not running or there is a driver problem; if either of these was the problem neither phone would be recognized in iTunes.
    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer either. Except to verify that both iPhones (the one that works and the one that doesn't) use the same cable and the same USB port.
    Also, are the two iPhones the same model and same iOS version?

    Hey dmar713,
    The iPod touch requires USB 2.0, check the speed of the USB port.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307091
    If the USB port is not causing the issue, it may be an application conflict.
