Ipod recognition with laptop.

My laptop no longer recognizes my iPod touch in iTunes. I have a Toshiba Satellite P55-A5312. The other day I accidently clicked "take no action" in a window that typically comes up in the upper right hand corner of the screen whenever I connect my iPod into my laptop, however my laptop is still able to sync my old ipod nano to itunes, but the window that in which I clicked take no action no longer comes up, and I am unable to sync my ipod with my itunes. Can someone please help?

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with              
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or              
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

  • Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes

    Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes. Can I get old (full) contacts back?
    Bakstory: Laptop crashed, got restored, but without contacts. Mistakenly thought I could upload them from my iPod. I hit sync. Big mistake. When I disconnected, I saw my iPod has the measley 4 contacts I DID have on my laptop after the crash, instead of the hundreds I had on the iPod just minutes before.
    Note: There is nothing in the desktop Trashcan that says "contacts."
    I also tried to post this question in the iTunes section, but for some reason I can't seem to post there.
    Thanks for any help!
    (Man, everyone agrees this is a design flaw--in how you share info from iPod to CPU and can easily overwrite things you don't want to. They should fix that.)

    Yes, you can do that.
    On the computer that you only want to sync contacts & calendars to just unselect content like music, photos, apps, etc.
    You can only sync content like music with one computer at a time, content like contacts with as many as you like.
    Before you sync your contacts & calendar with the laptop, make sure you have one entry in address book & ical, select merge at the prompt, do not select replace.
    Make sure you disable auto sync when a ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.

  • IPod interfering with laptop speakers

    been using my ipod and laptop together for some months without problems. Since a few weeks ago my speakers started crackling and cutting in and out. I have completed several hard resets which sort out the problem until i sync my IPod and laptop again. I have used several different retrieval programs to reinstall my library from IPod to itunes. They are all fine until i attach my Ipod and start transferring data. My speakers then become altered in some way.
    I have uninstalled and updated drivers, i have completed as many virus scans as i can think of.
    Problem also affects CD, DVD and any sound from speakers, even when using headphones
    Please help, I am growing weary of hard resets.........

    I have completed several hard resets which sort out the problem until i sync my IPod and laptop again
    Hard reset on what? (what is a "hard reset"?)
    Where is the problem, the iPod or the laptop?
    Resetting the iPod will not affect the computer sound.

  • I am a new iPad user who has transferred an iTunes library from my laptop to iPad. How do I sync my iPod touch with my ipad

    I am a new iPad user and have transferred my iTunes library from my laptop. How do I sync my iPod touch with my ipad

    You don't.  You synch your iPod to your computer.  There's no way to synch from iPad to iPod.  You can tranfer the same playlists to your iPod from the computer.

  • HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

    How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I stored all my music on laptop, but then had a problem and lost music. If I try to sync ipod with laptop, will I be able to re-install music on laptop, or am I likely to lose all of it?

    Can anyone help me, the technophobe, please?
    I have stored music onto my laptop, in i-tunes, and then used this to sync to my ipod.
    Unfortunately, a while ago, I had a problem with the laptop and lost all my i-tunes info, music, etc, including some purchased TV series.
    My question is - if I attach my ipod to the laptop, can I reload all the music from it onto the laptop, or am I likely to lose all the music off my ipod too?
    I think it is an ipod touch, but I am not 100% sure on this - it's about 18 months old, is all I can tell you.
    Thank you to anyone who can offer advice.

    Hi sarahdavis0_o,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If neither your iPod or iPhone are being recognized by iTunes when connected, I would recommend the steps in the following article.

  • I tried to install ios7 last night and the screen is now on itunes with the usb symbols  Plugged the ipod into the laptop where itunes is stored.  Tried to restore only to be advised that a 3194 error has occured  cannot get any further please help!!

    Hi  I tried to install ios7 last night and the ipod touch now has a frozen screen with the itunes logo and the usb logo  I plugged the ipod into my laptop and tried to restore only to be met with the message 3194 error  cannot restore this ipod  please help thanks

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • HT202213 how do i install a second ipod on one laptop and have it sync with only my music

    I have my son's ipod on my laptop and when he plugged it in it auto sync and made all the changes to music, games, etc.  I recently purchased an ipod for myself and went and purchased some songs.  However it downloaded the songs into my son's playlist.  How do I set up my own account so when I plug in my ipod it does the same as his plus allow me to download my own music.

    See:

    Easiest is to just check the media yo want synced vice syncing the entire library.

  • Is it possible i can sync my old ipod touch with my new laptop even tho it used to be synced with my old computer without loosing all my music?

    how do i sync my ipod touch with my laptop without loosing all of my songs from my ipod already?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTune and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
