IPod not recognized by the Updater or by iTunes

I have had so many problems with this iPod that I dont know wich to mention first.
At this moment the situation is the following:
- When I plug the iPod it says 'Do not disconnect', but that remains forever on the screen.
- Let's say after half an hour nothing still happend, no iTunes opened, nothing.
- When I disconnect and try to run the Updater (2006-03-26) it says 'Plug in the iPod to update it', ok then, I plug it back but nothing happens in the Updater.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

iPod mini 4GB Windows XP

That is EXACTLY what has happened to mine. I have been on web tech support for 2 days; nothing works. I called Best Buy and talked to tech guy: explained the problem to him and he said it was a hard drive gone bad. He also said that Apple changed their policies and does not still allow them to do any more than just reset the iPod; otherwise it has to be sent back to Apple.
If you get an answer that really helps, I'd love to hear it!!

My ipod not recognized by the computer or itunes?

Ok, the iPod works fine playing music and watching videos and everything else it is supposed to, and it charges fine. But when i plug it up my PC to sync new music, the screen on the iPod does like normal and goes to the gray and orangeish screen that says Connected, then immediately says Disconnecting iPod and shows the little progress bar as if you had ejected it. How can it do this on it's own before anything has recognized it?
I have done everything that the Support on here has said, the 5 r's and all that, and nothing. Checked device manager on my computer and it actually says that is is plugged up and recognized, but has a yellow exclamation point beside it. The properties of it says this error...
"Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)"
These errors occurred two days again until now, i have made no recent updates on my computer or iPod to have damaged anything but these problems randomly occur. it's really odd and if someone could help me it would be great.

Have you carefully worked through each and every suggestion in this Apple support document?

iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows. Does not show up.

Have you tried here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

New iPad mini is not recognized by my Mac. Is asking for an iTunes update to 10.7, but Mac says system is up to date at the iTunes version we have. iPad mini just not recognized without the updated iTunes, HELP

The kids have 3 new iPad minis for Xmas, but our Mac will not recognize the devices when we connect the minis to it. The Mac/iPad says it needs a newer version of iTunes, but the Mac says that it has the latest version of iTunes. The kids can't transfer their music, books, photos, etc from the Mac, where everything is centrally stored, to their new minis. :(. Can any one help?

What itunes version do you have?
What Mac OS version do you have?
From the ipad mini box and web page:
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

Ipod not recognized in windows vista nor in itunes

İ need help. İ have tried the 5 r's. Since neither my computer nor itunes will recognize my ipod*, İ can not complete the restore. İ have downloaded the update from vista, still to no avail. İ don't know what else to do. since one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same results, after hours of going through all the steps again and agian, this **** ipod is driving me insane.
* İ have had two brief periods when itunes did recognize my ipod unexpectedly. on those two occasions, it began the sync, but got stuck on a couple of music files and then would not complete the sync, leaving only two songs on my ipod to listen to. İ tried deleting those files it seemed to get stuck on, but then, it(itunes nor my computer) has never recognized my ipod since.

I have a suggestion on that, Cindy.
I've had a couple of friends that own a Gateway. And they've experienced the same problem, hence the fact(I Think) because the drivers for the USB that are installed with Vista are outdated,
but I don't think thats the case since the Gateway has all of its devices (USB ports) running correctly.
My next thought would be to do what I did:
A few months back I realized I cannot have my Ipod and any External HDD Connected simultaniously, since it seems that there are confilcts if I connected them together.
In other words, try temporarly copying your Music folder into your PC( if you have a good amount of space, then try going to Itunes>Edit>Preferences>Advanced
NOTE: if you have space, you can directly copy you music into the folder that Itunes is told to retrieve the songs from.
THere you'll see that itunes has a preset or default Itunes Music Folder location, Set it to the folder that you copied(if you were able to) which contains the music.
NOTE: if you have space, you can directly copy you music into the folder that Itunes is told to retrieve the songs from.
Hope this Helps!!

Ipod not recognized in Windows and locks up iTunes

When I connect my ipod to my pc with itunes open it does not recognize it as an ipod most times, other times it says that it needs to be reformatted to windows. Then it usually locks up itunes. If I connect the ipod first, windows thinks its a removable usb storage device not an ipod. Then if I try and start itunes after it is connected, itunes does not come up on the screen but the process is running in task manager.
I have hooked the ipod up to other pcs with no issues. I have tried the 5 R's and have gone as far as to reformat my pc and load itunes first. Still the same problems! I have talked to support and they were also unable to help.
Only twice has it every connected and been recognized, initially after the reimage and the very first time, but that its.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Happened to me. Read through this fully before you try any of it.
What i did was go to >start
Settings>adminstration tools>computer management.
From in here go to disk management under the storage option the right. A list of all the connect hard drives will show. There will be two partitions for your ipod, one will be unallocated, ignore this as its the firmware. The other partition should have the size of your drive on it and say (Healthy). If it doesn't format this partition only! If it does show up reset it by pressing menu and select together. Then i put it into disc mode. The pc show see it now.
What i did next was to remove the ipod, reset, put it into disc mode and let Itunes recognise it. Don't load anything onto it.
Go to the restore button and restore the firmware.
That's what i did and it's working again.
If it doesn't help I am really sorry and email apple directly.

Disabled ipod not recognized when plugged back in to itunes.

Daughter's disabled ipod (second time) is not recognized when we follow instructions to enable it and plug into itunes.

HT1808 is the article you need to follow. You need the section labeled "Placing the device into recovery mode."
You need to power the device off. Once the device is off press and hold the Home button or the button on the front of the device and while holding the Home button plug in the device and continue holding the home button until you see the image below.

IPOD not recognized my computer/updater/itunes

My IPOD was working fine until it froze. I went through the 5 Rs. It resulted in none of my music showing up on my IPOD (however the memory indicates that my music is still on the IPOS). ITUNES/Updater/My Computer do not recognize my IPOD. However my computer acknowledges the hardware when plugged in. Therefore I cannot restore it either. I have also tried it on a friends computer with the same IPOD and it does not work either. I have a 5G 30GB IPOD and have windows XP.

try to uninstall everything related to the ipod (updater, itunes, etc), then reinstall it
also before plug the ipod to the pc, reset it

Ipod not recognized in My Computer or in itunes 7

Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded to itunes 7. I also tried to restore my ipod as I was having a variety of issues with it.
Unfortunately afterwards my ipod is no longer picked up by my computer or itunes. It has some songs(200 out fo 6000) on there and works. I have tried to reset it by pushing menu and select. Nothing happens.
When I run itunes 7 ipod diagnostics it says nothing is connected. But you can see there is something connected.
I have gone into admin tools and manulla stopped the ipod service. This does not help.
I get an error from my computer saying the USB does not recognize the device.
I have seen links about the HP USB formatting tool but not sure if I should try that.
Has anyone out there overcome a similiar situation and or have ideas?

I think I found a solution. I found these directions regarding managing th eUSB ports. I changed mine and now BAM itunes sees my ipod and I am currently hotsyncing.....
Give it a try and good luck.

My iPad 2 is not recognized by the latest version of iTunes. But when I uninstall and install again, the device is recognized. I dont want to do this uninstall-reinstall process everytime. Is there anyway to solve this?

I have to uninstall and reinstall iTunes just so my iPad2 will be recognized. I don't want to do this every single time. What is the problem? My iPhone4 isn't recognized too unless I reinstall iTunes.

Hey thanks ingo2711 :) for some reason it worked and my iPhone is been recognised! Yay! Ha ha :) I did what u suggested and removed iTunes completely from my computer then I also restarted my computer and proceeded to reinstall iTunes. I don't know if it helped but I also reset all settings on my iPhone as well :) I'm so happy right now lol thanks again :)
