IPod Photo no longer recognized by iTunes 10

I do not know how long ago my iPod Photo stopped being recognized by iTunes. It is certainly an old iPod that I occasionally use to record voice for podcast.
Today, I noticed that this iPod Photo no longer shows up in iTunes 10. I connected it to two Mac's; one is a G5 tower running OS 10.5.8 and the other is a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.1.
My current objective is to get the voice file off of this iPod Photo. But, of course, it will be nice to have access to it in iTunes 10.
Please advise.

Hello Profinite,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Not sure as to why this happening, other than the fact that is probably related to the new iTunes 10. Have you try any of the basics yet? Since the iPod does not appear on either system, the cause could be the cable you are using to connect it with. If at all possible, try using a different cable. I would also try different USB ports on each computer as well. What happens when you reset it with it still connected to either Mac?
Another possible solution to at least get it mounted as drive on one of your systems is to place the iPod into *Disk Mode* as described in this Apple support document.

And here is more troubleshooting techniques for this situation.

My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes.

Hi There,
The title actually says it all..
(My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes 7.4.2, although the iPod works fine.. iTunes keeps saying to reset it, but I don't see why I should)
The iPod seems to work just fine, so I'm not in a big hurry to erase all my songs audio books etc..
I am thinking that this is a problem with Macintosh iTunes version 7.4.2, from what I'm seeing, but how should I proceed?
Many thanks for any help.
Eric

Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you. Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

Ipod Nano no longer recognized by Itunes

I have an Ipod Nano that I used with my Toshiba and Itunes. About a month ago, I got an Ipod Touch (lots of fun)and used it with the same Itunes. It worked fine. However, it does not recognize the Nano anymore. It charges but nothing else happens. Any thoughts? The Nano is recognized by other computers.
Thanks!

I've run into similar problems. I have four iPods (a firewire 3G, a Shuffle, a nano and a 5G) attached to my PC and I've yet to get all of them to show up in iTunes at once, even after restoring and reloading each of them. The Shuffle shows up for a few seconds, then goes away. The Nano, 3G and 5G stick around for a while, but if two of them are connected to the system, one of them (usually the nano or the 3G) vanishes from iTunes when the third is connected.
ITunes won't say so specifically, but you won't be able to successfully restore a device unless it's the only one connected to your system. What's more, if you have more than one iPod connected when you attempt to restore one, there's a good chance you'll screw up your other one instead. No big deal, unless you're on your way out the door and must now wait for 6000 songs to resync, but still a hassle.

Ipod mini no longer recognized by itunes

Hi, I know this might sound like everyone else's problem, I've had my mini for a little less than a year now and it has worked fine but all of a sudden I can't transfer any songs as itunes wont recognize the ipod when i connect it.
I have tried resetting it a number of times and reinstalling itunes etc but no luck.
When plugged into the computer it will start charging but when I go to reset it I don't even get the apple picture anymore it just goes onto whatever song I listened to last
I was transferring songs last night and it was fine but when i plugged it back in to transfer more it wont show up
any other suggestions? before i try restoring it???

I'm an idiot and get impatient and as a result of that when I was resetting the ipod I wasn't holding down the select button, only the menu button on the clicky wheel, the apple icon eventually showed up and then my ipod appeared again in itunes.
Sorry to get anyone's hopes up but after 84764634 goes at trying to fix it I eventually found what I was doing wrong.

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Ipod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by Itunes

pod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by iTunes
Today have been the problem that my ipod touch 4G is no longer recognized by itunes. He'll appear in My Computer as a DigitalCamera etc, but not in itunes. I've already uninstalled Itunes + Ipod rebooted and then installed it to try a different USB port + different USB cables, all useless. No jailbreak.
Got it now put into DFU mode and restore to read, unfortunately it is still not recognized by my PC but only on the laptop so I must go to my mum´s Laptop and everything transferred from there again ... pity me here is displayed only when the restore Ipods "Can not restore: errorcode 21" or something like that.

I've now uninstalled the USB device driver but now my iPod listed as a "portable device" and no longer listed under Apple MobileDevice

IPOD no longer recognized by iTunes after newest upgrade!!!!

I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My IPOD is now not recognized by Itunes. I get this message: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software". I followed the instructions and I also downloaded the latest iPod updater software. Restarted the computer only to get the same message - OVER AND OVER.
I have never had this issue prior to downloading this newest upgrade. A patch or resolution is needed ASAP to fix this issue. People invest TOO MUCH money in these products for something silly like this to occur.

However, iTunes now want's me to update to a new version (1.4)!?! Should I do this or wait until Apple fixes 1.5?
hi John!
hmmm. do you mean itunes 5.0.1.4? what version of itunes are you running currently? (just to be on the safe side, let's head into your itunes "help > about" and check to see precisely which version number scrolls up from the bottom.)

IPod Classic 120gb Not Recognized by iTunes

Hello All,
Just completed an upgrade to iTunes v 10.6 and my iPod is no longer recognized by the Software on my 64 bit Windows 7 OS Laptop. I've heard that this may be a common problem with older iPod's on versions 10.5 or 10.6., is there going to be a patch to fix this problem (new version) or id downgrading to an older version the best thing to do. Everything was working fine prior to the upgrade so I am completely positive this is where the problem lies. As a FYI - the iPod shows up as a device under My Computer.
So......what to do?
Thanks

Nevermind....rebooted the iPod and all is well

My first generation iPad no longer recognized in iTunes, neither via usb nor wi-fi. Did all the steps recommended in Apple iPad support. Now what?

My first generation iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes. It just doesn't show up neither via USB nor via wi-fi.
I've checked the usb connection and cable and its OK.
I checked that iTunes is up to date on my Mac.
I reinstalled iTunes on my Mac.
I restarted my Mac,
I've restarted my iPad.
The iPad has IOS 4.3.1 (8G4) installed. And without the iPad being recognized in iTunes I can not update the IOS nor apps, nor remove unneeded photos. The iPad is completely filled up, no memory left to allow even updates via cellular or via wi-fi.
Trying to gain access to update the IOS and to update APPS and to remove the pics I already have backed up and do not need on this iPad locally.
PS: I even tried to connect the iPad to a different Mac and it was not seen in that iTunes either.
So, what can I do now?
Any suggestions besides using it as a paper weight?
Thanks
