I have stopped the services to the ipod and mobile devices and restarted the services.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  My ports are fine and I have tried all gthree ports.  I also switched the cable and yet it's still not recognizing ipod.  I also turned sync automatically off and then back on.  Not sure what else to try.  Very frustrating!!!! Need help!

  • 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.

  • IPod shuffle 4th generation is not charging, not recognized by my computer and laptop (Windows 7) and does not show up in iTunes

    I have done all the troubleshoots and reset functions but my iPod shuffle is still not working. Every time I plugged my iPod it only shows red light that lasts for about 3 seconds and will disappear after some time. I've been using the same computer and laptop back then, and it stopped working since the last week of October.

  • 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?

  • New iPod not recognized in Vista PC and no devices in iTunes

    Hello, plugged iPod Touch into computer and Vista showed usual little box which said automatically located drivers and installed them. But couldn't find iPod in My computer. Installed iTunes from download area. No devices in left column.
    Reinstalled iTunes from fresh download. Plugged iPod in every USB point on computer, but nothing happens. IPod not found or recognized.
    Tried to find USB driver in Device Manager but all have generic names and so can't identify which driver was installed for iPod. None show installation date or anything which may identify which one. Also forgot to create restore point first (kicking self - always do this normally before installing something new).
    Been through Apple help pages and tried all their ideas including reinstalling. Still nothing found.
    Could someone please suggest what to do, besides dropping computer out of window?
    Many thanks

  • My 4th generation shuffle is not recognized by 'my computer' or by Itunes', what now?

    This is the second IPod shuffle I've been through with the same issue.  It's not recognized on neither Itunes or 'my computer', therefore, Im unable to load anything onto the the shuffle.  The last time this happened, those were the symptoms I experienced before the entire unit went dead.  Any idea what I'm to do next?  I couldn't possibly get 2 x defective units. Anyone?

    Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
    (When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
    Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
    You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
    Have a nice day!

  • How do I activate/download my Adobe Creative Suite onto a new macbook? My previous computer and download was for Windows on a Dell.

    How do I activate/download my Adobe Creative Suite onto a new macbook? My previous computer and download was for Windows on a Dell.

    The answer depends on which version of Creative Suite.
    Either
    install Windows on your Mac using Bootcamp or Parallels then install Creative Suite in the Windows Virtual Machine on your Mac.
    Or, if you want to install natively on your Mac:
    If CS6 then you can apply to Adobe for a platform swap
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    If CS5 then you must pay to upgrade from CS5 Win to CS6 Mac
    Creative Suite 6
    If CS4 or earlier then you're out of luck. You'll have to buy a new copy of CS6 for Mac or pay to join the Cloud.
