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.

    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!

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • IPod Not Recognized by my Computer?

    I am using a Windows 7 computer and my iPod is no longer recognized by my computer, or iTunes. It will charge, but not show up on iTunes or even make a sound that shows iTunes knows it's there. So all I get is the charging "ping". I have updated iTunes, restarted my computer, restarted my iPod but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help?
