    5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp.  works fine on other pc.  performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

    I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
    Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
    Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
    Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
    - reset
    - fully charged,
    - cable works fine on two other computers
    - in normal or disk mode makes no difference
    - tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
    - reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
    - I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
    - I've never used any Mac with this ipod
    - I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
    - uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
    - Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
    Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
    iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
    Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
    I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
    I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
    Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
    and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
    That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
    If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE!

  • Ipod not detected in Windows 8.1

    Hi
    Ever since feb when my computer updated to Windows 8.1 it wouldn't detect my ipod. I thought that my ipod nano was old and broken so I bought a new one. However, it did the same to that ipod so I know now that it's not the device itself but rather windows perhaps. I was wondering if anyone had the same problem? I unistalled and reinstalled a billion times (it seems to me) but then I finally unistalled the whole apple software and reinstalled it but it won't work because the apple something (device help software) isn't installed. I thought that it comes with the whole thing? Anyways, if anyone can help me that would be LOVELY! I am so tired and irritated with this whole deal I just want everything to work back to normal...

  • :( my iPod not detected by Windows.

    Hi,
    I've a iPod-Shuffle. Till last week it is working fine. I'm experiencing the problem from this week. When connected to the PC thru USB, my PC did not detects the iPod.
    Atleast it didn't turn up any error message. Pls. Help me.
    thanks in advance.

    Hello Alapati,
    Could you be a little more specific on what the issue is? When you turn the Shuffle on, does the light stay green? Or when you plug it in to the USB the light flashes amber and green but your computer does not recognize it?

  • Ipod not detected ANYWHERE that i can find

    I was having software issues with my ipod- i finally got it to restore, but after the restore it is not detected- just charges. Tried putting it in disk mode, restarted my computer, reset the ipod while connected to the computer, i am running out of ideas. Does not show in the device manager or under disk management. Tried another computer to no avail. I have a PC with XP. Pleaassse help!!

    Okay heres the final info for anyone still interested. After dissassembling my ipod to unplug the battery a couple of minutes and replugging it in (every time i do this i get a step farther) i was allowed to see my ipod on my computer, and allowed to attempt to format it to ntfs. This failed (of course), but my ipod cd let me format it to fat32 and i was allowed to download from itunes. Whether or not the attempt at ntfs had anything to do with my success with the ipod cd is unknown to me. I can say though that unplugging the battery DOES WONDERS. I went from a folder! icon to this only because of unplugging the battery. Keep that in mind if your ipod is out of warranty.

I have restarted both my iPod and my computer but to no avail. Please help me with this.

    Hi - Wish I had better news, but since you've already cleaned both the cartridge and carriage contacts, I'm not aware of anything else you can do, but replace the cartridges.

  • Ipod not detect on itunes

    hi,
    i have an ipod nano 5th generation but when i try to connect it to itunes
    he doses not show up on itunes any help please?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your Mac? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the Mac?

  • Ipod not detecting any networks except mine

    When I first purchased my iPod Touch, it would consistently detect a list of approximately 10 wireless networks (when I was sitting in my living room). My laptop detected the same 10 wireless networks. About a month ago, my iPod stopped detecting any of these other networks. It would still detect my own wireless network, but only if I was in the same room as the router. And even though it would detect my network, it would rarely connect to it. I took my unit back to the store, and the store sent it out for "repairs". I received a refurbished unit.
    The refurbished unit seems to connect to my network a little more frequently, and seems to detect it from a little further away (like upstairs) but it still doesn't detect any of the multiple networks that are in my area.
    It also doesn't detect any networks when I take it downtown to the office district (and when I first purchased my iPod, it would detect like 40 networks when I was downtown).
    What's the deal? And how do I fix this?

    I have the same problem.

  • IPod not detected as iPod by computer or iTunes, please help

    Hello everyone!
    When connecting my iPod Nano 2nd Gen via USB to my computer (win XP) it recognizes it as a "mass storage device", and iTunes won't detect it as an iPod.
    I went through many of the tutorials on this website, and formatted my iPod, re-installed the USB device and completely removed and then reinstalled iTunes (which is the latest version - 7)
    Can you guys please help me on getting my iTunes to recognize my iPod so I can transfer files to it?
    Thanks!
    Tom
    P.S.
    It used to be my sister's, and she claims to have been transferring files to the iPod directly (dragging files, not using iTunes) and that it also worked and she was able to listen to music and stuff, until one day where she tried to listen to music and it said "disc empty".
    As of now when clicking on music it says "disc empty" (quite obvious though because I formatted)
    Can't restore my iPod either since it requires it to be recognized by iTunes first...

    Hey
    First of all thank you for replying
    Following that tutorial I could not find the registry values it wanted me to delete, however I did find it via the "Search" option in Regedit. Is it safe to remove it from there? Or could there be other values with the same names as the ones I was supposed to delete?

  • HELP, ipod not detected won't work

    AAARRGGG
    I have a 30gb video ipod that has worked just fine for a month. i turned it on this morning, went to watch a show and all was fine until the show was supposed to start.
    now it's just a black screen, not off,you can tell it's on. i tried everything, toggle the hold button, turning it off, nothing happens.
    so i plug it into the port, and itunes doesn't even detect it so i can't reset it.
    OMG HELP

    The toggling is just to explain to a crashed iPod that you're gonna reboot it; it's the first step in the reboot key sequence.
    Glad your iPod's up and running again!
