TS1369 The article on what to do if Ipod not found by iTunes does not offer the correct solution....

I had this problem with two different iPod nano's that I bought for my kids.
The iPods would not be recognized by iTunes. They would throw an error message about how the ipod was not being recognized correctly. It was computer specific, since they were recognized by other computers in my house. All other USB devices worked fine on the PC the nanos were not working on.
After wasting hours following the instructions that came up with the link (reinstall itunes, run trouble shooter, etc etc), I finally determined that the actual apple driver was not loading, in that it was not showing up in device manager.
So, I clicked on the USB device that was showing a yellow exclamation mark, told it to update its driver and I had a disk, pointed it to common, apple, drivers, and voila a different ipod "device" showed up in device manager. After rebooting, everything was fine.
The steps to resolve this type of issue should include this approach as well...near the top, to head off others from the hours of annoyance I experienced.

- Did you try everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- Tried another cable?
- Tried another computer?
If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod not found in itunes comes up with an error message

Downloaded newest program for Ipod Touch. When I try to link it up to my Itunes it says "Itunes could not connect to this Ipod. An unknown error occurred (0xE800000A.) Anyone know how to fix this? Have tried resetting my Ipod Touch and that did not work.

Let's try the following document with that one:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update. I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes. What should I do?

I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night. I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync. It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back. I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do. Can someone help?

Do you have an iCloud backup? If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup. However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.

Ipod not appearing on itunes or mac desktop

Hi! I own a 160g ipod classic. What is happening is I plug it to my macbook pro and it sits there thinking for a long time, after which two dialogue windows appear, one that says the device was ejected incorrectly and then another one that says that the ipod could not be synced because it could not be found. Then the ipod freezes on the do not disconnect screen and I have to reset it in order to get it going again. Can anyone help me?? PLease!! I'm in charge of music for New Year's Eve! Thanks so much!!

When my ipod nano is plugged into my computer it says ipod not found

My ipod nano no longer connects to computer. It still works when playing elsewhere and Itunes is working as well. It is exempt from firewall so that's not the problem. Not sure if my ipad or iphone will connect. I am afraid to test them at this point. I tried another usb cable (Apple) so that's not the problem. Diagnostics says ipod not found.

IPod not syncing with iTunes 7

Hello,
I've been using an Intel iMac with iTunes 7 and a 30GB fifth generation iPod. Everything was working fine until I installed iTunes 7.
I've managed to sync all my Music with my Ipod. But if I try to change some of the iPod settings within iTunes, and save those changes, the iMac can't find the iPod to sync! It says something like "waiting to connect to iPod" and then "iPod not found". The iPod is in it's dock, connected via USB to the iMac.
I can't believe this problem has anything to do with hardware, as everything used to work smoothly with iTunes 6. Like I said, since upgrading to iTunes 7, the iMac is having trouble connecting with the iPod.
Any thoughts?

iTunes 7 + iPod = many sad people. Has anyone had any luck? I am unable to "Enable Disk Use" for the same reason that others above have had. I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem.
I have read about some with the same problems that have had success using this article. May be helpful to some of you (it didn't work for me).

Hello Jennifer,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Sorry that your iPod isn't recognized. The following articles should help you sort out what is going on and get your iPod working again. I didn't see if you are using OS X or Windows, so I included the articles for each.

HT1926 Have the same problem as many other users: tried to update iTunes on Windows 7 today; first message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 1

I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I have Windows 8 on a Dell laptop, i upgraded to 8.1 When i download iTunes, when i click finish, awindow pops up that says," Application support not found, uninstall iTunes and download again,Error 2" After 3times,it still says same thing.

Hello Community, I hope ya'll can help me. I have a Dell Laptop with a 32-bit Operating System, running Windows 8 with Media Center. I Upgraded to Windows 8.1 recently. Some of my Apps I had with Win. 8 were not compatible with 8.1. This next is my problem, When I install iTunes everything downloads fine until I click finish. @ windows pop up, 1 after the other. The 1st one says, " Application Apple Support not found, Uninstall iTunes and try download again. " Then a second window says, " Error 2 ", "The iTunes Application cannot run without the Apple Support ...." What is this "Error 2" and is there a fix for this? I appreciate everyones knowledge in helping me come to a solution. as I aint no hi-tech redneck! Thank you, Bob Bryan

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library. Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library. Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod, not only the Itunes purchases?

How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod (not only the Itunes purchases)?

You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
