Ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes on win7

Ipod touch will not connect to Itunes on WIN7. Used to work on Vista but has never worked on new WIN7 computer. Tried several cables and tried an Ipod shuffle. No joy. Current version of Itunes, restarted apple services and checked USB driver installed and functioning. When first plugged in, windows wants to know how to treat it (camera, file directory...) and for a few moments shows it as a drive. Device also shows syncing for a few moments. Then Itunes starts, the device stops sync and windows no longer shows it as a drive. Itunes does not show the device but wants to transfer purchases from the device (transfer purchases from an ipod?). I tried the steps given in on-line help and the diagnostic. Must be missing something in the setup of Ituines. Any suggestions...

Sorry sorry I am a not clear on apple product names. Actually do not care about the names. So I had to look this up so as not to offend anybody. I am talking an ipod nano gen4 AND and ipod nano gen7. Neither work. Can you direct me to somebody who might know how to fix this?

Shuffle will not connect to iTunes

I am running Windows Vista with the latest release of iTunes. My daughter just got an Shuffle for the holidays. I was able to connect the shuffle once to my PC but now I can not connect it to I am running Windows Vista. I was able to connect it once to the PC and register it, but now it will not reconnect to iTunes. The PC sees the shuffle connect and recognizes it as an iPod in the device manager. iTunes,however, just hangs and will not work at all. After a few minutes I pull the shuffle out of the dock and iTunes operates again, but I get a warning telling me to reset the Shuffle to the factory default settings using the tools in the iTunes Summary. BUT iTunes will not recognize the shuffle so I can not do this!! Argh! Anyone have any ideas?

I hope the solution is as "simple" as mine. After spending hours trying to get itunes to recognize my Ipod and talking to support, I discovered that I did not have the ipod locked into the Dock.

IPod Classic will not connect to iTunes, tried many different things to fix but nothing worked

What I devices I have:
I have a classic iPod and a dell laptop with windows xp.
The problem:
iTunes and iPod work fine separately, however when I plug iPod in, iTunes will not open. If iTunes was open at the time I plugged in iPod, it freezes and wont function again until iPod is disconnected. [Once I left iPod plugged in for an hour and iTunes did open, but iPod was not noted as being connected.]
iPod charges when connected. Icon takes about 5 minutes to show up in my Computer folder. When I click the icon nothing will happen or the folder will freeze up. iPod doesn’t show up in Disk Manager either. Putting iPod into Disk Mode changed nothing.
How it happened:
Once when I plugged in iPod a window (not an iTunes window) popped up saying that the device should be formatted or it may not work properly. Not wanting my iPod to stop working, I clicked ok and now my iPod isn’t working. Lesson: don’t click strange buttons
What I’ve done:
> Right clicking and clicking ‘format’ on the iPod icon while in the Computer folder – computer does nothing or freezes
> Going to ‘reset your iPod’ – didn’t fix the problem
> Restarting iPod (turn on and off)
> Telling iTunes to prevent iPod from syncing automatically
> Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
> Put iPod in Disk Mode, computer still didn’t recognize it.
> everyother thing google and apple's self help section has recomended
Any more suggestions?

It is normal for the computer to recognize the iPod as a camera since thatis how one gets photos and videos off the iPod.

IPod classic will not connect in iTunes

My iPod classic 30gb (not sure if 4th or 5th gen) will not display in iTunes. I have followed the steps on apple support and came to the conclusion that windows was confusing the my ipod with a network drive but I cannot change the drive letter, an error message appears.
I am using windows 7 on a new laptop. iPod connects fine on my old laptop which has a windows XP os. My iPod is quite old, i have had it since 2005/2006 but i have never had any problems and i really dont want to loose all my music, videos and photos.
My sister has tried connecting her iPhone to this laptop afterwards and after a lot of hassle and iTunes constantly resetting, her iPhone finally managed to connect and is displayed in iTunes.
I have relativley good technical knowledge, i am very good at solving things and am good with computers as have an a-level in I.T, but this has me stuck and is fustrating! Any help would be most appreciated.

Hello,
I have a similar problem, I was helping a client today, he has an iPod Classic and wanted to download an album. I had to update his iTunes to Version 10, not realizing that this might not work with his older iPod. I connected the iPod to his computer via the Apple USB connector, and his computer did not recognize the iPod.
I have no idea what to do next, as I a more of a MAC user..
Thanks in advance for any help on this!

IPod shuffle will not connect to car audio

my 2015 Lexus audio system recognizes my iPod Nano's (6th &7th generation) without any problems via BT or USB; does the 4th gen iPod shuffle have the capability to play through my car's audio system with it's USB cable?

Probably not, because the iPod shuffle does not have the "standard" iPod dock connector. It uses the headphones jack as the connection point for data. Also, the shuffle is designed to be a more limited device, in terms of its interaction capabilities.
A better choice for connecting to a car audio system is an inexpensive USB flash drive. You may already have one. For example, this one barely sticks out of the USB port

and has many times the storage capacity of a shuffle. You can load it with your favorite songs and just leave it connected in the car, instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting an iPod (which causes wear on the iPod).

Ipod classic will not connect to Itunes

I have had no trouble with my MacBook Ipod connection until I reformatted my hard drive on my mac book ( 2ghz intel dual core 2) and reinstalled my operating software OS 10.4.11. Now when I connect my Classic ipod 160 gig, I get the message "The ipod cannot be used because it requires Itunes version 9.0 or later. Go to WWW.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes". I have done that a couple of times, but still the same message and my ipod still is not recognized in iTunes. Can anyone help? Thanks

Plausibly, you might have ended up with two different versions of iTunes on the PC, and the iPod is trying to connect to the wrong one. To check for that, see the *Opening iTunes* section down the bottom of the following document:
[Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311]
But if no luck there, try a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes, as per the following document:

My Ipod touch will not connect to itunes. It only connects to the computer, nothing else. I have tried everything that I can, but itunes still wont recognize it. I even checked the printers and drivers and it stated that my Ipod is now a digital camera.

I am not sure what I should do anymore, and I dont have the money to buy a new Ipod. Can anyone help me with this problem?

My ipod touch will not connect to itunes, i am trying to upgrade to IOS 5. Can someone please help.

Is there any way to update to IOS5 through wifi and not using my computer?

No, you have to update to iOS 5 via iTunes/USB. One you get iOS you can further update via wifi.

IPod Touch will not connect to iTunes, please help..

I purchased an iPod Touch yesterday. I synced it up to iTunes, everything fine. After disconnecting and then reconnecting later I found that the computer didn't recongize it and it did nothing but charge the iPod. I've tried many times, all to either have it do nothing, crash iTunes, or give me the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because of an unknown error (0xE8000001)". I've tried reinstalling iTunes, the whole Apple Device Service, the USB problems.. everything. I have USB 2.0, Version 1.1.2 of the iPod, and iTunes version 7.5. Please, please try and answer my problem.
I've also restored using a friends computer, it works fine the first sync after I restore on his comp, but after that it does what I described above.
Please help

I was having the same problem but what I made was:
Conect iPod Touch into a USB port but from the back of the PC
Then *shut dawn* the iPod no lock *shut dawn*
then reinstall iTunes (it has to be iTunes 7.5 o later)
open iTunes
turn on iPod Touch
and it most work
o restart your PC and try again

IPod shuffle will not sync with iTunes 7.3; "iPod sync failed"

My shuffle is acting weird lately. For example, when I plug in the iPod and try to add songs and/or sync the device, iTunes says, "iPod sync failed. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again." It's really annoying because I can't add any songs to it or change any settings. Please help me! I have tried almost everything to save my shuffle and have restored it about 6 times!

Have you tried a Disk Repair in the Disk Utility?
Also, you could have a damaged iPodDriver.kext file.
You can replace it by doing an archive and install or
use a 3rd party extractor and get it from your
Install disk. Or copy it from a friends Mac.
I have tried the Disk Repair in Disk Utility and it says my iPod shuffle is perfectly normal. I then decided to erase it with Disk Utility using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but it didn't work, either. I am beginning to think this is a software problem with my computer...
I will try to replace the iPodDriver.kext file, but unfortunately, I lost the Tiger install disc. Can I use the install disc that came with my eMac (Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, I think)? Please let me know soon, and thanks for helping!
P.S. If I can't install it from my eMac install disc, I think I will copy the iPodDriver.kext file from a computer at my library or somewhere else. I can also borrow a friend's Tiger disc and use Pacifist, a great program for extracting .pkg files, to get a fresh iPodDriver.kext file.

Ipod shuffle does not connect to itunes anymore

Hi
I am having trouble getting my Ipod Shuffle 4th Generation to show as a device in Itunes. I think this has been the case since I undertook recent upgrades. I have followed the trouble shooting assistant and have had no luck. Suggestions appreciated.

That's for iOS devices...
If the iPod is being recognized as a connected device by Windows, try the advice in this document

My ipod touch will not connect to itunes.

I have tried every possible solution I can find on the web, I have followed the tutorials about 5 times on the support site, and this is what happens. (This started after a recent update).
If I click on the App store icon I get a message that says "cannot connect to itunes store" and the only option is to press the "OK" button.
When I click on the ITunes icon it brings me to a web page that has at the top Apple-I Tunes-Affiliates. I believe I got to that screen by trying to uninstall and reinstall ITunes on it. I can do searches from there just like I was on this same web site on my ITouch, but no ITunes.
I can get on the internet for everything else with no problem with it.
I have downloaded the latest version of everything. Today I did the most up to date download and the device updated and restarted...the whole shebang, so I was really excited and thought I had it taken care of but it is still doing the same thing.
So in summary. When I try to access ITunes from my IPOD Touch it just brings me to the Apple Web site, and I can't find out to get to ITunes from there.
When App store icon is pressed it says cannot connect to itunes store.
This is driving me craze. This thing is only a few months old, but with no warranty as it is a replacement for another one that bit the dust.
My version is 4.3.5, (8L1) model MC00*LL
The device syncs with my computer without any problems.

Restore the device as new.
