IPod says "Connected" but iTunes does not recognize
I plug in my iPod, it says "connected - eject before disconnecting", but iTunes does not show ANYTHING saying it recognizes or sees my iPod... Anyone know what I need to do? I restarted iTunes already and reconnected my iPod, not working...
Try resetting your iPod. This is probably different for different generations of iPod, but you can find the correct procedure in your manual. For mine, I first must flip the "hold" button on the bottom of the iPod to red and then to normal. Then press and hold the center of the click wheel and the top (menu side) of the click wheel simultaneously for 10 seconds. When I release the unit rests. It takes a minute or so. Then connect the iPod and iTunes will find it. If it still doesn't work properly try selecting "Restore" on iTunes while the iPod is connected.

when I connect my iPhone, iPhoto opens and the phone begins charging but iTunes does not recognize it and I cannot sync. Any advice?
Howdy AndieKanaras,
It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

This is first Ipod for me - I have had less than one day. Screen is frozen with itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh/restore or do anything with ipod. I turn off/on and get the same frozen screen. My computer does not recognize ipod. Itunes does not recognize ipod so I cannot restore.... Should I take this ipod back and get a new one? Is this normal?
Before you can use the iPod you have to activate it by connecting it to a computer with iTunes. Try the following to get your computer to see the iPod so you can activate the iPod.

and the home button doesn't work so i cant try the home button and power button method. Should i get my home button fixed and try it or is it something else?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am not tech savvy, to say the least. But the latest versions of itunes and an upgrade for my ipod touch popped up for an upgrade, so I upgraded both. Now, my ipod touch (purchased in 12/2010) is not being recognized by itunes. My computer picks it up and it will charge, but nothing else is happening. I have tried resetting the ipod...but that didn't help anything. What else should I do? I keep seeing info about uninstalling itunes....how does that work and will all of my files (music and apps) be ok?
General troubleshooting for unrecognized ipods in Windows is mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495

As mentioned in this article, reinstalling iTunes will not delete your music and apps, but backing up is always a good idea.
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. See how to back up the contents of your iTunes library in How to back up your media in iTunes. -

Ipod touch charges but Macbook does not recognize
I have had my Ipod touch for about one year but have not hooked it up to the computer for awhile now. I went to sync it to itunes today and it would not do anything. I am using the latest version of Itunes, my firewire cable and port is working fine as the Ipod charges when it is hooked up. I really don't know what else to try. Any suggestions?
Thanks.Yeah I was using the old firewire cable that came with my old 2nd generation Ipod. Unfortunately I lost the USB cable it came with, guess I'll have to buy a new one. Thanks for the help though.

What do I need to do to fix this problem?
This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.
