IPod not detected on iTunes and iPod SW Updater

Hello, I have a 30GB iPod Photo. Up until the time I upgraded to iTunes 5.01, my iPod would automatically update. Two days ago, I started having problems--I would get an 'unknown error -69' message, after say...200 songs are uploaded onto the iPod. I figured this was probably a software problem, so I downgraded to iTunes 4.9 and an earlier iPod Update. I also tried using System Restore points, but still, my iPod cannot be detected by the software updater and iTunes. I've tried everything the troubleshooters have said to do. Can anyone help me?
My iPod will not show up in iTunes, and for the updater, it says it cannot mount the iPod, or says to plug in an iPod.
Windows recognizes it, and I have realized something--when the iPod WOULD work, a little MP3 icon showed up next to the drive letter of my iPod under My Computer. Now, it just shows the icon of a removable disk.

I'm beginning to think that anything beyond 4.9 is junk for windows. If you can go back to itunes 4.9 then try that and see if it works.

  • Iphone not detected on itunes and DFU mode isn't working

    Hi,
    I tried updating my iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1 , not jailbroken) to the latest firmware using iTunes . I backedup my phone to my computer and proceded to update the firmare . During the process , after a few minutes , my phone just showed the "Connect to iTunes" picture , and the message on iTunes was " itunes is updating the software " .
    I waited about 15 mins to see if there was any change or progress .
    So I disconnected my phone and reconnected it and iTunes didn't recognize or show any device being connected .
    I tried entering DFU mode to restore the phone , but it isn't entering DFU mode ( I tried the 3 sec pressing power/sleep button +10 secs of simultaneous power/home buttons + 10 secs of home button ) . I tried this atleast 30 times . I have successfully entered DFU mode with my previous iphone 3gs few months back , so I know how it's supposed to be done . Still my phone isn't being detected by iTunes .
    I unintalled/reinstalled all apple software on my Win7 , (including bonjour, quicktime, itunes , and other apple software) .
    And even after that it isn't being detected.
    I think I've followed all the advice from different forums on the internet and still not successfull .
    Any help would be really appreciated . Thank you

    i dont thinkk there is any solution made for this problem

  • IPod not playing songs/ not detected in iTunes!

    Okay. I've been searching for days in forums, etc for a solution to no avail.
    I have a 4GB ipod nano 3rd gen.
    I run Windows Vista. I updated my iTunes to version 8 and plugged in my iPod to charge it. First time charging the iPod in this computer running Vista. Every other time I would charge in my other computer running XP.
    When I connected the iPod I recieved the message saying the iPod may have disc problems. I cancelled the message. I recieved a message asking if I would like to sync the songs to or from the iPod. I chose to sync the songs from my iPod onto my computer (again, first time using this Vista computer).
    After syncing the songs onto my Vista computer I noticed it had not synced all the songs. I ejected the iPod. Plugged it back in. This time when the message prompted about the disc needing repair I chose yes.
    My iPod was not detected by iTunes, and has not been from that point on. Furthermore, I cannot play songs from my iPod. I can power it on, scroll through songs, etc, but when I choose a song to play it either flashes the album cover then that screen goes away right away, or it freezes for about ten seconds, in which time if I circle the wheel I hear my click volume going up and down but nothing on screen is happening at all. Another weird thing is I can load the Quiz Show game that plays clips of music and has you guess what they are, but when I play the game now it's just the Quiz Show music the whole time and none of my songs will play.
    This is really weird and I don't know why no one has posted a solution on any websites yet. I have read so many differrent threads on so many differrent websites, but no one can answer my question.

  • IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode and not detected in iTunes

    I was trying to update my iPod Touch (currently 3.1.3), so I downloaded the 4.3.3 firmware (I didn't want to download the 4.3.5) and connected my iPod to my computer, opened iTunes and hit Shift+Restore. Then, I chose the 4.3.3 firmware and proceeded with the restore.
    However, the following appears:
    Error 1602
    I pressed OK and the restore process stopped. But, my iPod is stuck in recovery mode. Every time I reboot it, the recovery mode shows up. It's also not detected in iTunes although my computer recognize it as iPod Touch Recovery Mode.
    Please help me solve this. I can't use my iPod.

    Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

    You do not need Snow Leopord (10.6.X), but you do need Leopord (10.5.8) and iTunes 10.x for iOS 4.3. You need iTunes 10.5 for iOS 5
    For the Current  (iOS 5 iPod touch specs)
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)7
