Ipod randomly restting itself and not neing recognized by computer or itune

My ipod won't show up on my Itunes or windows, and and keeps resetting itself, it won't even charge or anything.

I have the same problem. So far the only thing that has helped a little bit is I downloaded iTunes 7.0. Mine will at least charge now, but isn't recognized by iTunes or Windows.

  • 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?

    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?

  • IPod not being recognized by computer or iTunes

    This is all of the sudden; I plug my iPod into my computer and - nothing.
    I tried starting and stopping it through My Computer, upgraded iTunes, unplugged and plugged and everything, toggled the Hold button and still nothing. All my iPod is doing is charging.
    Thanks

    I HAVE THE ANSWER!
    If you go into your device manager, is there a little red x or yellow exclamation point next to the necessary drivers?
    Right click and select Update Driver Software.
    Click Browse My Computer and enter in C:\Windows\System32
    Windows will find the iPod and so will iTunes!
    YAY for music and stuff!
    This took me about a week to unearth, but it was worth it, and I felt it should be shared

  • Video Ipod 80G 5th generation not being recognized by computer or  itunes.

    My ipod is not being recognized by my computer or itunes at all. I bought a new cable and nothing happens as well. however when i connect it in my car it works fine. did any resolve this issue? I am not sure if its the new software that has the issue but i am almost certain it is.

    Many people are reporting problems with connecting there fifth-gen iPods after the update to iTunes 9. I had the same problem, and when I downgraded to iTunes 8, everything worked again.
    I tried cables, resetting, and all the other steps. My solution turned out to be iTunes 9 itself.
    My problem came from using a replacement hard drive-an adapter that allows me to retrofit my iPod with a Compact Flash card instead of a hard drive.
    The problem is NOT the adapter. This system functioned perfectly until iTunes 9, and when I switched back to iTunes 8, it worked again.
    Summary: I have a modded iPod, and it consistently works with iTunes 8, but not iTunes 9.
    Reason: Apple is sooooooooooo afraid a Palm Pre user will be able to use iTunes that they are breaking the sync code on purpose.
    Downgrading iTunes:
    1. find the download of iTunes 8 for your OS. (not posting links, as they may change)
    2. go into your iTunes 9, and export EVERY playlist to a text file. This is the only way to preserve your playlists.
    3. Uninstall iTunes 9 from you computer, install iTunes 8.
    4. Configure iTunes 8 to use your music folder (especially if you moved your music to a different location other than the default)
    5. Add your music to iTunes-this may take awhile.
    6. Import you text files and your playlists will return.
    7. Backup your iTunes 8 library files.
    Happily enjoy your modded iPod. Mac Users: Don't accidentally install iTunes 9 from an Apple Update.

  • New 3rd Gen. 4 GB iPod Shuffle not being recognized by computer or iTunes

    Hey everyone, I've read some of the other posts here on this thread about other people having problem getting their computer to recognize the new 4 GB iPod Shuffle when plugged into the USB drive, and it seems like I am having a very similar issue. I just received my iPod in the mail a few days ago and tried plugging it into the USB and got NO response whatsoever from my computer or iTunes. I am operating with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) on a Dell Inspiron Intel processor, 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM, with iTunes 8.1 (just updated). When I put something in my USB usually I hear a noise (sounds like DO-do ha) which tells me that my laptop recognizes whatever is plugged in, and usually I get a little box in the bottom right hand part of the screen that says it's been plugged in. I didn't get any of this when I plugged it in.
    When I first opened the box I turned the shuffle on and the light went green for 1 second, orange for 1 second, red for one second, then dead..I suppose this is expected since I figured it's new and needs to be charged, so I turned the shuffle off, plugged the USB into the earphone socket then into my USB, and then turned the shuffle on, and got nothing but the same sequence of lights. It's one thing if iTunes just didn't recognize the shuffle, but I checked the Device Manager and My Computer and the USB drive wasn't even listing the shuffle as being plugged in..maybe the USB cable that came with it is faulty?? I read all of the technical troubleshooting notes on here and tried the 5 R's and nothing is working at all..
    I do have one guess about this though..I also have an 80 GB iPod 5th generation that I've used for over a year now for my car and that plugs into the USB fine with its respective cable and is recognized by iTunes..my question is, can my iTunes only recognize one iPod at a time? Does it reject the shuffle because iTunes is only allowed to sync to one iPod per account? If this is true, is there a way around this so it can sync both, or can I have two iTunes accounts on the same computer? But why does the computer not even recognized it when plugged in? Hopefully it is just the cable that is damaged and not the device..wow this was long, but any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  • Ipod touch 4th gen will not connect to my computer or itunes

    Everytime I plug it in, the laptop says that the ipod is a camera and does not automatically open itunes. Then the message of "MobileDeviceService has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." shows up.
    When I click to see the data of the error report it says this:
    szAppName: AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
    szAppVer: 17.88.0.7
    szModName: kernel32.dll
    szModVer: 5.1.2600.5781
    offset: 00012afb
    I have Windows XP and have tried all of the troubleshooting tips, like reinstalling itunes and stopping and restarting mobile device services. Nothing works. I can plug it into my sister's laptop, which has Windows 7 and it works fine.
    Can someone help me please?

    but then the ipod wouldn't be recognized by his pc
    (even though the connected, do not disconnect screen came up)
    so i tried updated his itunes 7 to itunes 8,
    but itunes 8 wouldn't open 'cause it says windows can't install it.

  • I have Windows Vista and have tried everything! My Ipod Touch has Malfunctioned and cannot be recognized by Windows or Itunes! When I turn my Ipod on the white apple comes on and the 15 seconds or so after that a thin line comes on the screen above it.

    A thin line appears above the logo then the loading sign pops up and then the whole thing freezes! I read somewhere to hold the home button and then plug in the usb will help it be recognized by Itunes or help to restore it! I tried that it didn't work.I tried uninstalling Itunes and then re-installing it. I have the newest version of Itunes and don't know what else is left to do? can someone please help?
    Thank you for reading!

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode (I think that is what you were try to do) and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • My iPod nano 6th gen is not recognised by my computer or itunes, but still charges?

    My laptop recently came back from repairs and  wiped everything off of it, so I have had to reinstall everything again. The only way I have got my music is on my ipod, so I cant lose any of the music stored on the ipod.
    I have tried everything to connect it to my laptop, but it just wont connect.
    I have followed all instructions from other people who have had the same problem, but nothing works. I have tried uninstalling itunes, where I delete everything and reinstall it. I have tried uninstalling all my usb ports and reinstalling them. I have tried to download apple usb driver, but it didn't work. I have reset my ipod many times - but nothing works! My computer just wont show my ipod, but it still charges it.

    And you have a tried a different USB cable to verify that the current cable is not faulty or damaged? If so, that points to a hardware issue with the Nano, likely its dock connector port. Look for signs of damaged/bent/corroded pins or debris that could be blocking a proper connection.

  • Ipod 1st Gen Not Connecting to the computer and not being recognized

    Hi my friend is having some issues with her ipod first generation it is not being recognized by the computer when she plugs it in and when she opens itunes it does not show up. the only thing she can do is charge her ipod from the computer, if anyone can help that would be great thanks!!

    Could be any number of reasons.  One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes.  Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!
