Ipod not recognized in itunes but is in windows
okay, what should i do here, i followed all the steps in the article on this on the support site, i reinstalled, disabled conflicting processes, every step in that article about if my ipod is recognized by windows but not itunes, what should i do now??? cuz i'm baffled, my ipod is flashing do not disconnect, and has the spinning icon in the top left corner indicating that it is doing something, is there anything i should do to get it recognized in itunes?
Hi, I kind of have a similar problem. I have two Ipods. One is an Ipod video and the other is a 4GB ipod nano. And i'm having problems with the nano. My girlfriend once disconnected while it was playing on itunes. Since then i haven't been able to get it to work. I've tried everything. Windows won't recognize it and neither does Itunes or the updater. When I open the updater it says initializing and it freezes. Itunes wont read it at all, and windows, well when i go to "safely remove hardware" it comes up there it says "Apple Ipod USB devie". I'm not sure if its recognizing it at all. But it wont disconnect it. The nano itself works fine! Well actually when she disconnected it the nano wouldn't turn off. Until i connected back to the computer and restored it. And thats when it wouldnt' come up on my PC. If anyone can please help me, or has had the same problem and worked around it, any advice will be greatly appreciated . . .thanks

IPod not recognized in iTunes, but my iPhone is
I used several different apple USB cords and they all recognize my phone, but not my iPod... It just charges
I plug my iPod into my laptop and its charging but no iPod icon is popping up in my itunes.. can someone help??? But my iPhone gets recognized instantly
Message was edited by: AlexV1I don't know if this work 100%, since both my iPod Touch and wife's iPhone were not being recognized. Thus, I knew it was not the USB cable or ports. Worth a shot, though...
In one forum, I tried something and it worked.
In Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor, I stopped iTunes Helper.
Then I downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of iTunes.
Once I restarted iTunes and plugged in my devices, they appeared just like they used to.
Hope this helps.

Why is my iPod Nano not recognized in iTunes but charges?
I have a Mac Book Pro and an original iPod Nano. I have old music on my Nano that I want to put on my comp, I have a program for that. But the thing is that even though when I plug in my Nano, it lights up and charges but it isn't recognized in iTunes. How can I fix this? Oh and my screen is broken so I can't reset anything from my iPod itself without like step by step direction because the click sound still works and I guess I can figure out what to do if you say like one click down or 2 clicks down... THANKS!!

Otherwise, take the computer & iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. -
I have a 6th gen ipod nano that is not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). I get an error that it 'could not be identified properly'. I have tried all tips on the apple site to correct the problem, including unistalling and reinstalling itunes twice. Nothing works. Has anyone tried something that worked that is not part of the Apple support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218)? Thank you in advance for any help!

I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

IPod NOT recognized in iTunes...'Recognized' in My Computer...W7
Hello, just joined community, my name is Dominick, glad to be here.
So all of the sudden my iPod is NOT being recognized by iTunes. I have the most recent version of iTunes. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on my Lenovo Laptop. Long story/synopsis below...
It is being recognized in 'My Computer.' It is recognized as "Removable Disk." If I click on it, it then says "You need to format the disk in drive G [USB port its in] before you can use it". Then asks me if I want to Format Disk or Cancel. However, if I ask it to Format disk, it fails to do so every time. After failing, it then says...
"Windows can't Format G...Check to see that disk and drive are connected properly, make sure that the disk is not read-only, and then try again. For more information, search Help for read-only files and how to change them."
Can anyone provide some clarity on this statement? Can I change its properties to read-only and will that work?
Again, my iPod is NOT being recognized in iTunes, so I cannot restore it. I figured that would be my best solution at this point. When I run Diagnostics in iTunes and run the "Device Connectivity Tests", it tells me all 3 Support Services are working/green amd 2 of the 3 Ports are working/green...the only not working/red item is "No iPod...found", which of course just means itunes cant recognize my iPod when plugged in...back to square 1.
Also, I came across the Apple page dedicated to troubleshooting an iPod that is NOT recognized in iTunes, but is recognized in My Computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
However, after exhausting all options listed here, my iTunes is still not recognizing my iPod. I then tried uninstalling iTunes and all its component programs, e.g. Quicktime, Bonjour, Apple Device Services, etc. and reinstalling and this did not work. I then tried plugging in my iPod into a friend's computer with latest version of iTunes and that didn't work either.
To provide a little more background on how I got here, my iPod was acting funky over the past 2 weeks...meaning it would be slow to response, random songs would freeze/not play, and then start playing again, or freeze altogether, then I'de have to reset my iPod by pressing Menu and middle-button...I was planning on restoring it yesterday just to fix its minor issues that at the time were just annoying...but as fate would have it, here I am now...
When I plugged it into my laptop to Restore it yesterday morning, it took a LOOONG time for iTunes to recognize it, then iTunes told me the iPod was corrupt and I should Restore it...well, being an ignorant peion that I am, I instead disconnected it and tried Resetting it again to see what that would do...it then was totally frozen, wouldnt respond to pressing Menu and middle button to Reset iPod, and wouldnt get recognized by iTunes or My Computer when I plugged it in...once the battery died, I was able to charge it up, all the music and files were gone, and I had to select a language...I then plugged it into my Laptop to see what would happen, and per above, here I am now with iTunes no longer able to recognize iPod, but My Computer can, and everything else per above.
I've tried EVERYTHING I can find under the sun to fix / Restore my iPod / get iTunes to recognize it. Any last-ditch efforts from the Apple Community? Again, I already exhausted all options I can think of / find, including per link above...http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US....my hope is mebbe someone else here can provide another option that will magically work or can decipher what my Computer is telling me per above when it fails to Format my iPod. Otherwise, this iPod is probably now FUBAR...
Hope that makes sense. Please lemme know any thougts or questions. you may have. Thank you for your time.
DomFrom the Classic iPod manual.
To reset iPod classic:
1 Toggle the Hold switch on and off (slide it to HOLD and then back again).

On the moment that I connect the Iphone 5 on Windows 8, it is not recognized by Itunes, but actually it appears as a usual USB cable, or as a camera. And then I can't synchronize the Iphone 5 with Itunes. So, what do i do?
Hi pedro109,
If your iPhone is recognized by the computer, but not seen by iTunes, you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, as described in this article -
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Once iTunes recognizes the iPhone you should be able to sync it with iTunes. See this article
iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
