Ipod Not Recognized With Xbox 360?

i havnt played with my xbox 360 and ipod in a while. i connected my ipod video ver 1.3, 30 gb in and found out that it wasnt recognized. i have done the updates for my xbox 360. could my ipod be corrupt? was it an xbox update? an ipod update?

This is an XBox issue. When they update that system it may work again.
This has also happened with car stereo adapters.

Why is my 5G iPod not recognized by Xbox 360?

It's been probably over a year (maybe 2?) since I've plugged my 5G ipod (firmware v1.3, model PA002LL) into my 360, but in the past it's worked fine. However, last night I was in the mood to listen to some tunes while playing xbox; but, when I plugged, it in my xbox would not recognize it. The xbox will charge my ipod, but it will not show the device as being connected to it. So, to make sure it wasn't an xbox issue, I plugged in an ipod shuffle, which was detected by the xbox right away.
I then called my brother and asked him to plug his 5G ipod (firmware v1.3) into his xbox 360 to see if it would be detected...of course, it was detected. So, this leads me to believe it is an issue with my ipod. I originally was going to try and downgrade the firmware back to 1.2.1, however, the fact that my brother's ipod works fine with his xbox360 leads me to believe it is not a firmware issue.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? If so, have you found a resolution, or do you have any ideas as to what I should try? My ipod has been working like a charm since I bought it 2 or 3 years ago up until this little quirk. Also, I will be plugging my ipod into my bro's xbox 360 tomorrow night, to verify that my ipod still won't be recognized.
Thanks!

Eh, it's not really a glitch, it's just Apple changed something with the firmware along the way (probably going to 1.3), and Microsoft never did anything to try to keep it up to date with Apple's new firmware.
A Microsoft rep at my work said it was more Apple's fault because Microsoft tried to make a fix or new download to let the new firmware work, but "Apple didn't do that for them". But again, he's only a rep and I don't really believe it. Why would Apple not want to make their player supportable for Xbox? It's not like Apple makes game consoles.
I just think Microsoft didn't go out of their way to stay up to date with the iPod firmware, and you know they have their Zune which they're trying to promote so I'm sure they're in no rush to try to make iPod support work again for a while. This is unfortunate, cause I love the Xbox 360, but no way am I getting a Zune haha. Microsoft makes a great game console, Apple makes the best portable media devices, why can't they just get along? haha oh well.

E3000: uPnP not working with Xbox 360

Hello all,
So I just setup my new E3000, upgrading from a WRT54G. The uPnP worked great on that router and my last three routers before that. Xbox never required I setup anything -- I can prove this simply by swapping routers and putting one of the old ones in place of the E3000.
However, the E3000 (Firmware Version: 1.0.02) is not working with uPnP. Xbox connectivity test comes back and says that my NAT type is "Moderate". Most stuff works fine, but I'd like to get it all working. I worked with a Linksys tech who was very helpful and got NAT to "Open" by configuring triggered port forwarding.
I am happy to have my issue resolved, but confused why uPnP didn't work? I mean it was easy for me to configure port forwarding, but for my less technical friends, should I simply not recommend this router because it can't do basic uPnP?
Is there some other configuration change I made that may have upset the uPnP?
Thanks!
-Scott
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In case this helps anyone else:
For the past few months, I have been using static mapping for XBOX live. I recently updated the firmware on my router to 1.04 and still was having similar problems with uPnP. So I continued to use static mappings. One day my IP for the Xbox changed and I got frustrated.
I tried one thing before giving up on this router:
1) Held down the reset button for 30 seconds
2) While still holding it down, unplugged the router for 30 seconds
3) While still holding it down, plugged back in and continued holding for 30 seconds
This does a complete reset of the router. I then re-ran the Cisco connect software (which was also updated recently). I reconfigured my router the way I wanted.
Now, Xbox Live uPnP is working!

IPod not recognized with Mountain Lion

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my iPOD gets hung up when connected to computer, and will not show on i Tunes. I get the spinning wheel and the "do not disconnect" sign on the iPod. I tried the resetting routine with no benefit. Is there something I can do without losing my iPod content to restore i Pod and allow use with Mountain Lion. The i POD functions normally when used by itself. It also loads properly on my desktop MacPro OS 10.7.4 Has anyone had this problem?

I assume this iPod worked with this Mac before upgrading the Mac to Mountain Lion? You've updated Mountain Lion to 10.8.1? And your iTunes version is the latest available (10.6.3)?
If you are using a USB hub as connection point (or the spare port in the keyboard), try connecting it to a direct USB port. As a test, you may want to disconnect all other USB devices (except for standard keyboard and mouse if used), and connect the iPod to a direct USB port. Also, if you have not powered OFF your Mac in a while, try doing that (not just restarting).
If that does not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode, to see if it will connect to the Mac without iTunes (or the system) giving you the spinning wheel.

It's not a good idea to have song files on the iPod that are not backed up in your iTunes library. iPods can become broken or lost. Purchases from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded from the iTunes Store Purchased page, but for other song files, you should transfer them off the iPod and add them to your computer's iTunes library. Then, you can do a Restore when necessary, and easily re-sync your songs back to iPod. You can't do it (transfer from iPod to computer) using iTunes, but there are third-party methods and utilities that can do it. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.

Ipod not recognized by windows code43

windows will not recognize ipod says device not working properly code 43 this happen after itunes upgrade what to do to fix

Hello Judy,
It's impossible to sync your iPod if it is not being recognized in iTunes. I found a few resources that I think will help with this issue.
I recommend starting with the steps in this tutorial:

If you are still getting the same error code after following those steps, I recommend the following article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

Ipod not recognized anymore

My old laptop used to recognize my ipod using usb but only when it was fully charged and even then it would only recognize it some of the time. It also wouldn't ever charge through my computer and the ipod updater never worked. Eventually, that computer stopped recognizing it all together and I didn't even get the do not disconnect screen. In the meantime, I picked up a new laptop thinking maybe I had bad usb connections but I still have the same problem. I have lost all of my music files off of Itunes (due to my own fault of reinstalling windows without backing up my files thinking that might fix) but still have them on my ipod. Is there any way to back up my ipod and how do I restore it (or back it up) when it isn't recognized my my PC? I have tried new cables etc. and am convinced the problem is with my ipod. Any ideas?

Possible solution to iPod not recognized in Windows

I myself have a Mac, but for that last week, since Xmas, have been trying to help a friend get her kids' iPods (Xmas gifts) to work with her Windows machine. She has a Dell with Windows XP. Her whole system is 2-3 months old.
We experienced the same problem as many. iPods not recognized by her system. We tried everything, the 5R's, prayers,tears, voodoo, human sacrifice (Bob from GeekSquad), everything.
Long story short, she discovered that if she disconnects her printer (a Lexmark all-in-one) from it's USB port, and then connects the iPods, the iPods are recognized and funcion normally with the system. She restarts her computer between disconnecting the printer and connecting the iPods. Not sure if that step is necesary at this point. Must be some sort of hardware/software conflict.
Just wanted to let everyone know in case this worked for them.
Mac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I don't usually reply in discussion sites, but after about 20 hours...doing the R's over and over, Applecare not being able to help, and one step away from giving up...I just had to say thank you! I tried everything...except removing my printer and scanner to see if they were conflicting...after I read your note, I tried, and it finally worked. Thank you so much...I really appreciate the suggestion...and my headache has seemed to go away!!! Hope that you have helped other people's stress as well! Happy New Year!

IPod not recognized (for sync OR charging) after OS 4 upgrade

I upgraded to OS4 on Saturday July 10th with no problems. On Sunday (July 11) I used my iPod quite a bit. I was at a friend's house and the battery was getting low so he charged it through his computer. It charged completely and we continued using it the rest of the day. I plugged it in to my PC to charge it Sunday night and it was not recognized at all (for charging OR for syncing) through any of the USB hubs. I asked my friend the method he used to charge it that day and he confirmed it was via computer. Monday night I tried charging it through a friend's iMac. It charged halfway, though it still wasn't recognized. Tuesday morning I tried to charge it on the same computer and I got the "too much power drawn from the USB hub - HUB deactivated" message on ANY of the HUBs. It still doesn't work on my own home computer (though it HAD been working Friday night and Saturday morning pre-OS4 installation).
I'm personally running Ubuntu 10.04 but obviously only was able to charge the iPod on that system. Anytime I want to sync or download music I restart to Windows Vista (and iTunes).
I do also have apps installed, but nothing new from the previous OS - (I know that blaming third party apps is a common cop-out answer for apple techs).
I hope this wasn't too confusing. My real problem is simply described by my subject line: iPod not recognized (for sync OR charging) after OS 4 upgrade. What follows is simply everything I've done to troubleshoot. The only thing I haven't tried is restore...because my iPod isn't even recognized by iTunes.
I would greatly appreciate any help or stories related stories/situations. Strength (and hopefully solutions) in numbers!
Best,
Dan

Assuming you haven't got the cords mixed up with another, older iPod, it sounds like you have a couple of problems:
1. Your computer's USB ports have quit working. Reboot your computer and see if they reactivate.
2. Your friend's iMac generated that message because you tried to charge the device from the low power keyboard USB port. iPods need to be charged off one of the main USB ports or a powered hub.
3. iPods not being recognized by iTunes can be caused by 1) wrong cable; 2) non-functioning USB ports; 3) iTunes not being the correct version for the iPod OS; and finally 4) Apple Mobile Device Services driver is either stopped, missing, or disabled.

IPod not updating with iTunes

When I plug my iPod into the computer, it is not updating with iTunes.
The software version on iTunes is 1.2.1 and is the same on my iPod.
I did have a relapse last evening, as my iPod got confused. It stalled, so I had to drain the battery and recharg it. When I plugged it in today to the computer, it is not updating with iTunes - and I did update it to 7.1 version of iTunes, but the software version still says 1.2.1.
It also says my ipod is up to date with iTunes.
Please help.
Thanks,
Donnie

See if there's any help here.

Please help I hope I didn't loose all my music!!!

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
