Ipod Photo (20GB, 4th generation) no longer recognized by Laptop or Itunes

Hi, I'm having problems synchronizing my Ipod, cause neither my computer nor Itunes will recognize my Ipod anymore. I have tried restarting, resetting, reinstalling and all that and it didn't help.
When I connect my Ipod via USB, it is charging, but when I unplug and replug again not even the charging works (through my laptop).
Recently I've deleted most folders in the "Installer Cache" except for the two newest Itunes and Quicktime folders, cause the files were just taking up too much space - could it have something to do with that? Any ideas what to do?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dave,
thanks for replying. I don't think my problem is covered in those articles. I think it's rather connected to the "Installer Cache" files I've deleted. Anyway, I think I'll try deinstalling Itunes and restoring the Ipod, maybe that will help ...
Oh, one more clue: I've recently installed a GPS-device and it's still showing, although it's not plugged in. Could it be that that's the reason the USB-hub won't recognize my Ipod?

IPod Shuffle (4G / 4th Generation) w/ Software Version 1.0.1, iTunes does not find 1.0.2 update

I have an iPod Shuffle (4G / 4th Generation / A1373) running Software Version 1.0.1. I know that version 1.0.2 is available. However, iTunes says that there is no update for it. I have reset the iPod Shuffle and tried everything I can think of.
Any advice / information would be greatly appreciated.

My 1.0.1 is not being recognized by the latest version of Itunes...11.1.3. Really getting fed up with Apples "upgrades" obsoleting other hardware and software...particularly their own.

IPod Shuffle (1st gen) is not longer recognized by computer or iTunes

I have had no problems with my iPod until this morning. I have the latest version of iTunes and recharge my battery pretty regularly on the shuffle. However, this morning my iPod isn't showing up in iTunes or on my USB port. It's not even charging. I tried 4 out of the 5 R's, but can't do the last because the iPod icon isn't showing up. It still plays songs with the battery life left.
Checked the USB port, and it's working fine. Battery light on shuffle is now red. What do I do?
Dell Inspiron 6000 Windows XP

Hi hmacross,
I tried one of the options in the link you provided, 'iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB'. It didn't work but now my Shuffle is flashing orange as it does when it is charging on my XP machine. So at least we have power to it I think.
I still have do detection in Windows Explorer, Device Manager or iTunes however.
All the other options I have already tried.
Still scratching my head lol.
Thanks for you help anyway. Got any other ideas?

My ipod nano of 3rd generation is not recognized for windows or itunes.

Hello,
One week ago, i bougth an Ipod Nano of 3rd Generation.
And still cant get it work.I already installed the LAST version of Itunes. And when i connect my ipod, itunes doesnt recognize it, and in the taskbar in windows, it says, new usb mass storage, then i click, and start searching something, then it says that it havent been found, that i insert a disk with xp label.
I had tried resetting and nothing.im using Windows XP Pro 2002, with SP2.
What would be the problem please help me!

I have the same problem except through Vista. If iTunes isn't on my computer everything is listed as fine in windows device manager but as soon as I install iTunes it installs a problem driver for the iPod and device manager lists it with a yellow icon with an exclamation mark. I have to do my syncing on my old XP machine

AirPort Extreme 802.11n (4th Generation) no longer recognized by iPhone 4S

I'm a new community member so please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered and I didn't see it. DirectTV came to troubleshoot a DVR cinema connection device that had been wirelessly connected to my AirPort Extreme without incident since the DirectTV device was installed 6 months ago but stopped talking to the AirPort last week. The DirectTV technician asked me to unplug then plug back in the AirPort. Now, my iPhone 4S will no longer recognize the AirPort. The AirPort is not recognized in the AirPort Utility on my iPhone, but if I run the AirPort Utility on my iPad 2, it is found. I can see the AirPort on my wifi settings on my phone but I can no longer connect to the network. The iPad and my wife's iPhone 5 connects to wifi just fine. Also a windows 8 laptop which was previously able to connect to the AirPort can no longer connect. And, of course, the DirectTV device still will not connect. I am stumped. Please help. Thanks.

OK, two possible leads:
1) Using the AirPort Utility, I disabled 802.11n, setting the AirPort Extreme to b/g only. This seemed to help— I didn't fall off the network all afternoon. (Setting it to 'n' only did not work, unfortunately, or else that would have been better, since it would have let me take advantage of the faster speeds for Time Machine to the shared disk)
2) Soon thereafter, for seemingly independent reasons, we starting having trouble with our DSL connection. We reset the AEBS to factor settings, which didn't solve the DSL problem (had to get a Windstream technician out for that), but since that reset, I've been connected with 802.11a and the MBP hasn't fallen off the wireless network once.
We'll see how it holds up, but for now, the recommendation seems to be first to reset the AEBS settings to factory default, and then try disabling 802.11n...

My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itune

My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itunes or my computer.
It has a list of instructions as to how to fix it and I followed them until it said to load the driver for the device from a disk.
I have no such disk nor do I know of one.
My computer said the driver is present but there is a problem installing it.
Does anyone know of what disk they are talking about?

My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins,needs new internal battery but I have no idea how to go about this. i love my ipod and don't want it to loose power completely, can anyone help?

My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins from full power, think it needs a new internal battery but have no idea how to go about this and am no longer covered by my guarantee. Can anyone advise me on what's best? Thanks in advance

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use an Apple wall-mount charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPod Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Yes, there literally hundreds of video editing Apps for the iPod in the App Store if you want to edit directly on the iPod.

So i updatedt to iTunes 9 yesterday - only to find out that my iPod 3G is no longer recognized by iTunes. Also my 2G are not recognized any longer on this machine
ALL three iPods still work fine with my other computer whicgh is running the same Windows version but has still iTunes 8 installed.

Yeah... I hope apple solves this problem soon. =\
I use Windows XP instead of Vista...
This happened to me:
I plugged my iPod
Oppened the iTunes, iTunes recognized the iPod with all the songs, album covers, playlists, etc.
It asked for update. (Download & Instal, ok)
Finished the update, oppened the iTunes 9.0. Added a new songs but then I realized it didn't recognize the iPod (wich was plugged.)
I checked on "My computer" and I saw "iPod". Ok.
When I ejected the iPod it was clean. No musics, no Videos, no playlists. Started on the screen "Select your language".
I Tried reinstaling the iTunes but whenever I got an older version it said something like "The iTunes can't be started because the iTunes library has been generated by a new version."
Restarted my PC several times.
Rebooted the iPod.
Tried switching USBs.
NOTHING works.
Nothing at all.
even tryed the manage thing on "My Computer".
If they don't find a way of fixing this bug my iPod Nano is not better than a f**kin' Pendrive... ~.~"
Hope apple do something...
