IPod shuffle not being recognised in iTunes in a new country

Hi there, I initially used my iPod shuffle (4th Generation) in Australia on my laptop and it was recognised in iTunes with no problem. Now I want to connect my iPod shuffle on a new computer in Greece. My iPod shuffle however is being recognised in 'my computer', but not in iTunes.
Help would be most appreciated ASAP, what should I do?
Thank you!

The flashing light is good.  It means that the system (the OS) is seeing the iPod's "disk," and it is actually mounted.  When the light is flashing, it means DO NOT DISCONNECT (eject shuffle before physically disconnecting).
When do get this error code?  Is it when the iPod is syncing with iTunes? 
If you have other USB devices connected, you may want to try it after shutting down (powering off) the computer and disconnecting all USB devices, including any hub.  You can leave standard keyboard and mouse connected, if normally used.  If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter, so that it's not running on battery power.  Do this to reset your shuffle

Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  Any difference?

    Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPod
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • My ipad (mini) and ipod are not being recognised by itunes?

    When connecting both my ipad(mini) and ipod(7th gen) they are not being recognised by itunes.  I last connected just over a month ago and everything was fine.  When I last connected I also connected my old ipod(3rd gen) to add new playlists beforing giving to someone else.  When I first plugged in I got a message saying that the cable was not Apple authorised - both my cables are cables supplied with my ipod/ipad so came from Apple?  When I run diagnostics it says
    "Most recent devices not currently connected,  - iPod Nano (3rd Gen) and iPad Mini running firmware 6.1.3"  This is the first time I have tried to connect since updated my iPad with IOS7?  Please help I wanted to put Christmas playlists on both devices.....!

  • IPod touch not being recognised by iTunes, recognised in "My Computer"

    Hello,
    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, I have iTunes 10.
    I have tried restoring the iPod touch, I have tried switching it on and off. I have tried with each USB port, my security settings are fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I have restarted the computer. I have reset the ipod.
    It has still not been recognised by iTunes.
    What can I do to get the iPod touch to be recognised by iTunes?
    vvv on "My Computer" at the bottom I can see this. Here I can access my DCIM folder, which contains some photos and videos.
    iPod information; Version: 5.1.1 (9B206) Model: MD057BT

    Thanks,
    Aimee.

    So the Apple Mobile Device serviced is installed and running on your system? You tried to uninstall and re-install iTunes and all Apple related software?

    Simply responding yes doesn't do much to help.  We need as much detail as we can get in order to help you troubleshoot this issue. Otherwise, we are just pulling at straws.

  • New Ipod Touch not being recognised by itunes

    Hi, can someone please help!
    I purchased a new iPod touch (the one with the camera )the other day and yet so far iTunes nor my computer has recognized it.
    I have tried many things:
    Updating itunes
    Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes
    Unblocking itunes related software in my firewall
    Trying different USB ports
    Turning ipod off and on in different ways
    Restarting computer
    Using different usb cords
    Nothing has worked so far! My computer meets the requirements i think. Its a windows professional with a service pack 3 and it has usb 2.0 ports. I have a working itunes account and store and i have itunes version 10.1. My ipod has full charge also
    My computer makes the noise when something is plugged in, yet my ipod is not appearing under devices on itunes. My old nano is being picked up fine yet my new ipod touch isnt!
    I dont know whether i should return to the store i purchased it at or if it is a computer malfunction thats the probelm.
    Please please help! I've reached a dead end!

  • IPod shuffle not being seen in iTunes.

    Hi,
    I've got a 2nd generation shuffle, I can not get it iTunes to see it except for a short time on the left pane then it disappears. I've got the latest
    ITunes, am using Mountain lion. I've got it charging right now thinking it the battery might be dead. Anyone else have any ideas?

    With the iPod still connected to iTunes and your Mac, try resetting it.

  • My "iPod Classic (60GB) Click Wheel" is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows up in 'my computer'.

    My iPod Classic (60GB) Clickwheel is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows in 'My Computer'.  The problem started with an error message in iTunes saying "Could not complete sync as devise may have become corrupt" and suggested I restore the iPod to factory settings which I have done several times.  I've carried out an error check in the iPod properties.  I've completely removed iTunes and all related software components in the correct order and reinstalled version 10.5.3. I have been through the 5 R's numerous times but still the iPod is not being recognised in iTunes. I have Windows XP, I'm tearing my hair out now so any help or suggestions would be great

  • Ipod touch 6.1.3 not being recognised by iTunes 10.7

    Just got a secondhand iPod Touch. It is on 6.1.3 and I have iTunes 10.7 running on my iMac 10.6.8.  As far as I can see 6.1.3 is supported on iTunes 10.7.  I tried the Apple trouble-shooting page but to be honest it wasn't that helpful.
    If I set up Home Sharing then I can Home Share using the iPod Touch...which says that I do have connectivity at some level.  Just that it is not being recognised by iTunes and so I am unable to load my apps or transfer any music over.

    Many thanks lllaass
    I had gone through the first part without success but had decided not to go through the second stage. But following your recommendation I did just that and it works!

  • IPod not being recognised by iTunes or My Computer: How to Fix It

    For anyone whose iPod is not being recognized by "iTunes," and does not show up in "My Computer," but does show up in "Device Manager," and in "Safely Remove Hardware."
    This is a problem with the program DAEMON Tools, which can only get on your computer if you downloaded it. So if you didn't, then this post will probably not help.
    First, uninstall DAEMON Tools. Then, search the computer for the following two drivers:
    dtscsi.sys
    sptd*.sys
    Delete them both. You may need to uninstall, and then reinstall "iTunes." Your iPod should work fine after this.

    I'm not certain if you mean you can't find where to download it if you want to have it, or you can't find it to get rid of it, so I'll answer both:
    If you wish to download it (which I do NOT recommend because of issues with spyware, try a program called Alcohol 120% instead) go to
    http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php
    If you wish to get rid of it, it should be on your list of "Add or Remove Programs," if not, it isn't on your system

  • One answer to ipod not being recognised in itunes

    My 20gb ipod recently stopped being recognised in itunes but was still recognised in "My Computer".
    Having tried alot of the suggested solutions (more than once)nothing seemed to correct this. I resigned myself to being one of the many having a "half working" ipod.
    However my dad tried the following and it worked !!!!! I'm now a happy bunny again with fully working ipod.
    Here's what he did with the ipod connected to the PC:-
    Go into "My Computer" and right click on "homes ipod". Click on "Properties" then click on "Tools".
    Select "check now" under "Error Checking".
    Under "check disk options" select "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" and click "start".
    This took about 15/20 mins to run and seemed to "free" the ipod. "homes ipod" then appeared back in itunes.
    I very much hope this also helps someone else.

    I tried what you suggested but it didn't seem to work for me. When i started the error check nothing happened, the bow for checking errors closed immideiatly after i clicked start. Did you do anythig else before checking the drive for errors, like put it in disk mode?

  • IPod Touch not being recognised on newly-installed OSX Leopard (10.5.4)

    I have an iPod Touch (software version 2.0.2) which is not being recognised in OSX Leopard (version 10.5.4) which I just loaded onto the Powerbook G4. It was recognised under OSX 10.4, although the iPod Touch didn't launch iTunes when it was connected. It was only recognised after iTunes was launched.
    I have read some previous posts about iPod Touch not being recognised. One of the recommendations is to reinstall the entire iTunes package. It this must be done to sort the problem, will all of the music in iTunes be lost?
    Note my daughter's iPod, when connected, launches iTunes and is recognised.
    Help, please.

    Hi,
    Reinstalling iTunes *will not* erase your music library.
    As a matter of course I do, and in fact Apple recommend that you back up your music library, there is an option to do this under "File" in iTunes. It is really quite sensible to have your purchased and other music files saved elsewhere as well as on your main hard drive, it can save a lot of time and hassle.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • Ipod Touch not being recognised/unknown device

    Ipod Touch not being recognised - help!?
    It says it's a code 43 - Unknown device/device not recognised. Doesn't sound good.
    Tried all of the things the itunes website suggested such as of course turning it off and on again, restarting services, reinstalling itunes. I know from experience that when you take it in to the shop they want to charge you almost as much as you bought it for to fix a minor problem. Thanks

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!
