IPod not syncing since installing Windows 8.1

I've just installed Windows 8.1 (jumping up from Windows 7) on my PC.  Installed iTunes, then plugged in my iPod.  Sync never even started up, though iTunes did open when I plugged in the iPod.  I checked under Devices and Printers and I see that there seem to be two instances of an iPod there - one under Devices, and one under Unspecified.  When I unplug my iPod from the PC, the first instance disappears but the instance under Unspecified remains (it's called Apple Mobile Device USB Driver).  The first instance, under Devices, calls itself "Apple iPod USB Device" and it returns when I plug the iPod back in, so that's the instance that seems to be associated with the actual iPod.
Apple iPod USB Device has a yellow exclamation point next to it, and when I check under Properties for it and and then check for Properties under the Hardware tab I see a "Windows is uninstalling this device (code 21) message.  This message never goes away, and Windows never actually uninstalls it.  I can choose uninstall, and have done so, but when I plug in my iPod again, all this simply comes back.
At one point earlier today, iTunes began to "sync," but what it was syncing to I have no idea, because the iPod remained exactly as it has been - no new songs, no message in its little window saying it was syncing or anything.  The "sync" lasted quite a while, and then when it finally finished, absolutely nothing had changed in the iPod.
So, even though plugging in the iPod starts up iTunes, they're just not seeing/talking to each other.
I've run the iTunes diagnostic, and it says it finds the iPod, but it also says (with a green light next to it) no usb ports found and (with a green light next to it) no firewire (IEEE 1394) ports found.  It says All Tests Passed.

I had the same symptoms and similar recreation steps.
Updating the Apple Mobile USB device driver spelled out in step #2 http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/ fixed the problem for me.

  • IPod Classic will not sync since installed iTunes 11

    iPod Classic will not sync properly since installed new iTunes. Always stops at or around song 2 and just hangs there, even if left all night. Tried restoring the iPod, made no difference. Tried syncing just some songs, sometimes it will do 20 or so but not more than that - and I have 10,000 songs.
    Saw something about problem with Winsock and reset that but no effect.
    Recently been re-recording CDs in Apple Lossless with 'Convert to AAC' selected for iPod. Maybe the conversion process is causing the block? But it did not before.
    I also tried moving the itunes material from the Synology NAS to the PC as I thought the processing power might be the problem. It synced once after that, now it is blocked again. Tonight I tried selecting only the original AAC files and it seems to have worked for them, my problem therefore seems to be the Apple Lossless - unless the syncing of AAC files is another one-off.
    Not for the first time I wish I had not updated iTunes because it so often leads to problems of some kind. Why do they not care?
    Any

    Update: following successful sync of AAC files, I changed the setting to 'manual' for music & videos, used the View menu to restore the old sidebar, and manually added the Lossless files to the IPod. That actually seems to be working (very slowly). But it would be better if Sync worked as it should.

  • Why is ical not syncing since installing Lion?

    Since installing Lion on July 29th, nothing new from my iPhone4's iCal has synced to my computer's iCal as it usually does. I see by other discussions, no answers so far. But just in case, I wanted to post as well.

    Tongue in cheek: Perhaps it was designed to work just as it was designed to look. Like some old desk calendar with a leather frame and torn off pages. Syncing? What's that?

  • LAN not working since installing Windows XP on Satellite P100-160

    Hi,
    I purchased a P100-160 (PSPAAE - 01D00UEN) with Vista pre-installed. Couldn't stand Vista so I have just installed Windows XP.
    However, I cannot get my LAN to work properly. That is, I can get it to work with the 'Cardbus Ethernet Card' plugged in, but i cannot get it to work via the RJ-45 slot!
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do/how I can rectify this.
    Many thanks
    Yvonne

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.
    As far as I am aware I have downloaded all the drivers. I have checked both of the sites that you indicated, I have downloaded the drivers but there does not seem to be a 'setup' icon/file within the extrated files. There are 'unistaller' files but not a setup one - anyone have any ideas????
    Do you suggest that I install all the drivers from scatch and see what happens? Any other suggetions would be very much appreciated.
    Best regards
    Yvonne

  • Help! My printer will not print since installing Windows 7 upgrade.

    I currently have an HP4580 All in one wireless printer that will not print.  Nothing goes to the queue.  I have done all the HP troubleshooting, including uninstalling and reinstalling the device.  Everything shows that it is working properly and is recognized on the network.  I have run out of ideas.  Can anybody help me?

    Is this the Deskjet F4580, the Officejet J4580 or the Photosmart C4580?  I would suggest going to the HP site and downloading the proper driver and updates for Windows 7.  Before installing the new software uninstall the previous version.

  • 5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp.  works fine on other pc.  performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

    5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp.  works fine on other pc.  performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

    I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
    Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
    Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
    Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
    - reset
    - fully charged,
    - cable works fine on two other computers
    - in normal or disk mode makes no difference
    - tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
    - reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
    - I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
    - I've never used any Mac with this ipod
    - I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
    - uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
    - Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
    Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
    iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
    Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
    I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
    I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
    Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
    and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
    That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
    If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE!

    Make sure you are entering the events on your iPod in the iCloud calendar and not something else such as On My iPod.  Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default.

  • Ecr e since installing windows 10 my Aspire R7-571-6858 will not power down via the screen,

    Since installing Windows 10 my Aspire R7-571-6858 will not shut down properly when using the screen prompt.  The monitor will power down but the keyboard remains backlit and the power light remains on.  I have to force a shut down manually via the power button.

    fdrrdl,
    Shutting a system down is a basic operating system function. You can attempt to perform a refresh of the unit to see if there might be some corrupt drivers or files installed.
    the other alternative is to go back to Windows 8, then upgrade again.

  • I'm not able to install windows 7 in my imac 21' which has the latest OSX 10.9  It keeps saying that I need a 64bit version of win7 which i actually have but it doesn't seems to be recognize as one.

    Can someone help me out?
    Thank you

    To my knowledge there are no official MS Windows DVDs that contain both the 32 and 64 bit versions. There is a way to make a USB thumb drive that has both bit version on it but AFAIK this can't be done on a DVD disc even with a Dual Layer DVD disc.
    For the Windows installer to function, actually boot the system to the install routine, certain files have to be on a certain area of the DVD disc. If by chance you really do have a DVD disc that contains both bit versions your Mac is only seeing the 32bit version on that disc.
    You'll need to get a Real MS DVD of just the 64bit version or download the 64bit version ISO from My Digital Life and burn it to a DVD disc.

    So you're saying there is no solution for this?
    Thank you so much for your response.

  • 7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore

    7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore. Tried all the apple troubleshooting. Help?

    I have tried all the 'Rs' that Apple recommend. As said, I can't hook up the iPod to my computer. I have tried to reset the iPod manually (holding the select and menu button) - but this doesn't work.
    If there is another (manual) way to restore the iPod, I would love to hear about it.
    As said: as for restoring the iPod - I can't get any contact with my iPod with my computer at all.

  • Not able to install windows 7

    Hi - I am not able to install windows 7 in my imac (latest version). When I try using the bootcamp, it gets stuck at the place where I am asked to partition the hard disk for the windows system and does not go any further. Has anyone experienced such a scenario?

    This is one method.
    1. Remove 240G SSD from Optibay.
    2. Re-install Optical drive.
    3. Boot from 240G SSD using an external enclosure/SATA-to-USB connector. You can also boot from an external flash drive as mentioned in OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support.
    4. Run BCA and format the 128G for Windows completely.
    5. Install Windows.
    6. Remove the Optical drive and install the 240G SSD and test.
