IPod not recognized by iTunes. Also iPod seems disabled/locked showing  "do not disconnect". Not responding to anything. Any help please.

My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes. iPod seems disabled and not responding to anything. Permanently on "do not disconnect". Not sure what to do.

Hello,
My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
recharge, though.
have u tried a different usb port?
I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
that are from another person's computer, so if they
get erased, the songs are gone forever.

  • Nano is not recognized by Itunes or Ipod loader

    i have a 2gb black nano and it is not recognized by my home pc or work pc (running windows xp) by either itunes or ipod loader.
    after browsing through some topics, i found a way to enable disk mode, this allowed my nano to be recognized by ipod loader. i proceeded to do a factory restore to this running the november version of ipod loader and it displays "do not disconnect" forever. so i restart it manually by select + menu, then find out that it is still not recognized by itunes or ipod loader. realizing that disk mode allowed ipod loader to work, i tried disk mode on itunes and it recognizes it! so basically, my question boils down to...
    Should itunes and ipod loader automatically recognize the nano once its plugged in while it is in normal mode? or do i need to keep enabling disk mode to update through itunes and loader? how many people have this same behavior running xp? Thx!

    Wow I'm surprised this is such a common problem... So for those who can't connect with itunes and iloader: does disk mode work for you? Hit the center button and play button simultaneously after you reset it (right when the apple logo first appears) to enable disk mode... For me, this works all the time when connecting, but I don't think this is normal since i used to be able to connect in normal mode... maybe someday apple will realize we don't all have Macs...

  • Ipod classic latest version not recognized in itunes also downloaded 400 plus songs, can play them in itunes but can not download on to ipod any idears /

    latest 6th gen 160 gb ipod not recognized in itunes, have done all the checks, has been confirmed in itunes sync, Also down loaded 470 new songs into itunes,Can play them,but can not down load back into my ipod, any thoughts? Question,

    See my answer under "iPod 160GB not recognized". The steps I took to fix this problem include completely uninstalling and then re-installing iTunes 9.0.2, restoring my iPod to factory settings while in disk mode, following the Apple instructions of repairing the permissions (outlined in my other post), and even after all that my iPod "crashes" after syncing more than 300 or so songs. I hope that Apple will come out with a real fix for this problem soon. Best of luck.

  • I have a 80GB Ipod and it is not recognized by itunes. It seems to have occured after upgrading to itunes 10.

    I have a 80GB Ipod. Its been working fine for the past couple years, unitl now. I haven't downloaded any new music on to the Ipod in months. So I usually charged it directly from an outlet. I updated the itunes just recently, so I think it maybe the itunes itself.  I plugged the Ipod onto my computer like always and it read connected, but it never opened up the Itunes like it usually does. Opened Itunes manually and my Ipod didn't show up on the device tab or anywhere else. Tried to reset it...that didn't work. Re-downloaded Itunes, that didn't work either. Once it showed up on Itunes, so tried restoring, but it said that it could not work,because it showed the Ipod as being used somewhere else? At that time it showed up on my computer as a device with a removable storage. Not sure what else to do. Do anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks But all those options assume that my IPOD is being seen by windows.
    I get this error when I connect and the software is trying to install the drivers

  • IPod Nano not recognized in iTunes, desktop, iPod reset

    I went to update my iPod Nano's music selection and found it isn't showing up in iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes, restarted the computer, reset the Nano and still nothing. It does not show up in Disk Utility but does show up in Apple Disk Profiler. When I try the iPod updater, it says "waiting for the iPod to be ready". My 30 GB iPod works just fine, immediately recognized by iTunes. As soon as I connect the iPod Nano to the computer, it goes to "Do not Disconnect", darkens, and stays there. It does charge. How can I reformat the Nano if iTunes or iPod updater doesn't see/recognize it?

    A couple of pages later in the forum, I saw something about disk mode. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    I tried that out and my Nano did mount. I then was able to restore the Nano to factory settings, after which time everything worked ok.

  • IPod Classic not recognized by iTunes, but iPod Touch is recognized

    I have both an iPod Classic and an iPod Touch. iTunes on my Windows XP computer will recognize the iPod Touch, but it will not recognize the iPod Classic. I went through the first series of tests recommended at the Apple site, but I stopped when it said uninstall iTunes, and further suggested major stuff with the Classic. The whole uninstall/restore process instructions did not assure me that I wouldn't lose some music or my playlist. It doesn't seem like it should be this hard just to get iTunes to recognize a device.

    If you have iTunes 11 on the computer and are using the same cable that works with the iPhone then:
    - 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.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Try on another computer
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware preoblem

  • Ipod touch not recognized by Itunes V10

    Hi, my daughter's IPod Touch is not being recognized by Itunes. Issue seems to have arisen with V10 but not 100% sure. My PC will recognize her IPod touch, and her PC will recognize my older IPod model. Reloaded Itunes, and updated IPod touch software. Also went thru MSCONFIG to attempt to resolve conflicts. Tried multiple USB ports. When I plug in the IPod touch Windows seems to think it is a camera device.
    Any suggestions??

    Found an answer that worked in the thread "IPod recognized as digital camera". Advice posted on 7/28 by Masta of Disasta worked. It's a bit different with XP but substantially the same process and ITunes now recognizes the IPod Touch.

  • 5th generation ipod is not recognized by itunes, why?

    5th generartion ipod is not recognized by itunes, why it this?
    thank you.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    If it does not charge
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.

  • TS1538 iPod Touch with blank screen that doesn't shut off and not recognized by iTunes?

    I opened the app "MyTown 2", and it stayed on the opening screen for about 5 minutes - WAYYY too long! So I tried to close the app. A slight grayscale sort of film "slid" down over the opening screen, and then it went to this light gray, completely blank screen. It's been that way for over an hour - no matter what I do, can't do a hard shut down, and the device is not recognized by iTunes at all. It's completely DEAD!!!! Is there any hope? Anyone have a clue?

    Following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod Touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
