  • Ipod not connecting to windows or iTunes!

    My iPod isn't being recognised by the computer, but when I disconnect it it lights up.. So it thinks somethings happening. Also, a seperate iPod works fine on a different logon to mine. My iPod is over a year old, could this be caused by the battery?

    Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various solutions that you can try to correct your problem. One should work.
    First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
    Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter: 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).
    If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
    Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
    Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.

  • Ipod not connecting again, apple please read this.

    First let me state that I made posts awhile back about my Ipod touch not being able to be recognized by itunes at all and just as a camera by windows. Now every single guide did nothing to help and the FEW people that posted had posted things I already did that did not help.
    HOWEVER the version of Itunes that was prior to the one I just downloaded connected PERFECTLY with no issues.
    But I just updates and wouldnt you know it, the connection problem is BACK. Apple please read this, the last version of Itunes had something different with how it connected to the Ipod...PLEASE bring that back, its so inconvenient not being able to connect to my own Ipod
    If someone wants to post a reply that might help feel free...but everything on this website and even a few others not posted here have not worked, this is mostly me praying that Apple reads it...that tiny difference on how it connected made a huge difference with my computer.

    Thanks. I worked out a simpler method of turning off the internet access - just switching off my wireless modem. Either way, this works and with the PC not connected to the internet, all three Apple devies will sync.
    Thinking about it now, I had a similar problem a few versions ago which I recognised because with Home Sharing on and connected to the internet iTunes was trying to find files from someone in another hotel room who also sharing the hotel's wireless network. My devices would not sync then either. This seemed to be resolved with subsequent itunes upgrades until now ....
    Thanks for the advice. Let's hope Apple's next 'update' actually updates itunes so it can sync Apple devices whilst simultaneously connected to the internet (not a big ask really).

  • IPOD NOT CONNECTING TO WIFI AFTER UPDATING TO IOS 8.1.3

    I recently updated my ipod touch to ios 8.1.3. after which it stopped connecting to my wifi device saying password is incorrect. Needless to say password was correct and other devices were connecting fine. I restarted device, tried connecting it with other wifi devices (it didnt connect to other devices either) , i reset network setting , erased all contents and reset setting and finally restored ipod to factory setting using itunes but problem is still persisting.. Now I have an ipod without wifi which is pretty useless. Need your help in this regard

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Update time capsule, since ipod not connect wifi to time capsule

    Hello,
    Since I update my Time Capsule(7.5.1), I cannont connect my ipod touch to wifi time Capsule.
    message ipod is : impossible de rejoindre le réseau RES_Didier
    My iMac is connected, my PC Windows is connected ans my Apple TV to.
    Only my ipod cannot connect.
    But, if i connect my ipod to an other wifi network it is ok.
    That is only with my time capsule that I cannot connect wifi!!
    Do you know why ? can you help me ? (sorry my english is not very good)
    Thanks
    Didier

    Did you upgrade install Mavericks? I think this can lead to all kinds of issues.. clean install the OS is the only way.
    Do a full factory reset of the TC..
    Use all SMB names.. that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    I strongly recommend when you have trouble.. even different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. So you can keep track of where the issue is.
    Also use ethernet.. if you have not got ethernet port, buy a Thunderbolt to ethernet (much the preferred) or USB to ethernet.. if thunderbolt is missing or used.
    Open network utility on your computer and find the listing for the TC.
    ie scan via netstat.
    Make sure you have ipv6 turned on to link local.. this is now essential.
    Use the IP address if it is static rather than name.. and try it in full network isolation by ethernet.
    So Go .. Connect to server.
    AFP://10.0.1.1 (at default IP)
    The default password is public.. you will need to type in a password.
    If it fails the TC could be faulty.
    Use ping via the terminal to make sure the network is working.

  • IPod not connecting to PC... is it doomed?! =o(

    Hi there, I'm really hoping someone can help me out here.
    Over the last week, my 40Gb clickwheel iPod has become more and more problematic. It all started when I was copying my CD's to iTunes so I could get them onto my iPod.
    Whilst copying CD's to iTunes (running in the background) I could use the PC pretty much unhindered - surf the net, use MS Office etc. When I tried to switch to the iTunes window it was taking up to a couple of minutes for it to appear and whilst waiting, nothing else could be done on the PC. It seemed to put everything into a queue behind the command to display the iTunes window. (If there WASN'T a CD being copied I could toggle between all windows easily, whether they were minimised or not).
    This slow appearance of iTunes got worse and worse over a few days until the PC finally crashed in a big way and displayed a rather ominous sounding warning on a blue screen. At the time, I wasn't aware that you could reset the iPod with the 'Select' & 'Menu' buttons, so consequently the PC was switched off with the "Do Not Disconnect" message showing on the iPod. (oops!)
    The next day the iPod was working as normal except for a few times when it played the first 20 or 30 secs of a song then skipped to the start of the next song and continued playing normally. The following day it did this even more.
    Yesterday I connected my iPod to the PC but iTunes didn't open automatically as it normally does. When I tried to start iTunes manually by double clicking the icon, nothing happened until I reset the iPod. As soon as I did that, iTunes opened but the iPod failed to be recognised.
    A dialogue box appeared saying:
    iPOD NOT READABLE!
    This iPod needs to be reformatted for use on your PC. Click on the Update button below to run the iPod Updater application that will allow you to reformat or restore your iPod.
    After clicking Update, another box titled "iPod Updater 2004-08-06" then appeared with "Initializing..." for about 2 minutes and then it said "Can't mount iPod".
    I've tried the 5 R's, except I can't do number 5 as the PC can't mount the iPod.
    Now, the iPod won't play music at all. I can search through all my music that's on it and select whatever I want but it just sits at the start of the song with the Play icon showing but doing nothing.
    I get the feeling that the first PC crash (and possibly my failure to reset the iPod before powering down) may be the route cause of all this. Is my iPod doomed? =o( What, if anything, can I do to sort out this mess? Can anyone advise me please?
    Many thanks.

  • Ipod not connecting, only charging. Afraid to pull it out.

    This seems to be a common problem but I'm really stuck as to what I can do. I've connected my ipod but the computer isn't recognising it. On the screen, it simply says "Charging". I know that if I disconnect it now, my computer will crash which is something I don't want to happen. I've tried resetting it but it hasn't made a difference. How can I disconnect my ipod safely? Can I reset my ipod settings while connected to the mac? Will that help?

    Just as an addendum to your question (I'm glad you got it all worked out). I have two iPods, one connects via firewire (the older one) and one by USB (newer).
    The newer one, if I connect by firewire cable, just charges, but iTunes doesn't recognize it. Took me forever to figure out that the newer pods need that USB (don't ask me why - firewire seems just fine to me).
    Not sure it's relevant, but maybe helpful to somebody in a tangential way.

    Computer recently went belly up, and all music I had is on ipod. Once reformated computer and reinstalled all software, ipod will not connect to computer ('safe to remove device" icon keeps popping in and out from toolbar). There has to be a simple way to move all music back to the computer without needing to restore ipod and losing everything, just to get everything in sync again, nes pas?
