  • IPod Touch 3rd generation not recognized in iTunes

    I just recently upgraded my Macbook software to version 10.6.3 because I purchased an iPod shuffle and the newest version of iTunes would not install with my old software. Now my iPod Touch 3rd generation is not being recognized by the newest version of iTunes (10.2). I have already restarted my computer, and shut it down and removed the battery for a minute before starting it up again. None of these things worked. This is the first time I have tried to sync my iPod touch since installing the new software so I am not sure what I need to do.

    It sounds like this may be the fix:

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation not recognized in iTunes 12

    Before iTunes 12, I would always be able to sync my 32 GB 4th Gen iPod Touch (iOS 6.1.6) with no problem at all. After the upload, it is no longer recognized by iTunes. It's connected, but the iPod icon is nowhere to be found. I restarted my laptop, but the same problem occurs. Can I get some help with this issue. Thank you.

  • IPod touch 4th generation not recognized in iTunes

    I've used ipod touch trouble shooting on line help and am still unsuccessful in getting iTunes to recognize ipod touch (even though it has in the past on this same MacBook Pro)

    - Have you tried here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - Have you reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Tried another computer
    - Does the iPod work OK?
    - Does the iPod charge?
    - Try another cable
    - Try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • Ipod shuffle 1st generation not recognized by itunes

    Right after I updated to itunes 12, my first generation ipod shuffle will not longer be recognized by itunes. I run Windows 7 and it is recognized when I open up windows explorer, but I can't get to it in itunes. Any help?? Thanks!

    The 1st gen shuffle has REALLY excellent sound.  It is better than 2nd gen shuffle, and other iPods, for sound.  Because it has a separate docking connection (the USB plug), it is the only shuffle that can play music while it is charging.  Plus, I like being able to hold it in my hand and control it (not clipped).
    Because I liked it so much, a few years ago, I bought some broken ones being sold on eBay.  Using these instructions
    https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle_1st_Generation
    I took them apart and tried to assemble working ones by swapping parts.  Fortunately, the 1st gen shuffle is small, but not tiny.  Unfortunately, the most common failure point (by far) was USB plug component (including a very delicate ribbon cable that connects to logic board).  I have plenty of "spare parts" now, except for that USB plug part.  So I am VERY careful when connecting and disconnecting my remaining working 1st gen shuffle, and try to do it as infrequently as possible.

  • IPod Touch 3rd Generation not Recognized by iTunes but recognized by Windows as "Apple iPod"

    Exactly what the title says. My iTunes will not recognize my iPod touch, but my Windows Vista will recognize it with autoplay. I updated iTunes about 10 minutes ago, tried two different apple wires, and 3 different USB ports that work. Can anyone help me fing a solution? I found the iPod Touch assistant thing and tried all of those steps but the problem recurred. Thank you in advance!

    I have the same problem. My Iphone 4s works fine when docked to PC. PC won't recognize my 3rd Gen Nano. Same goes for my Work PC. They don't recognize it nor will plugging it in to a PC charge it. I have to plug it into wall socket to charge.
    I have tried resetting, I have tried downloading newest Itunes.
    Must be the Nano itself if it doesn't get recognized by mutliple PCs?
    I haven't used the Nano for probably 2 months. Previously it worked fine...
    One thing, when docked to my laptop during a reboot/startup, it intially starts to charge the Nano, but once setup is finished it doesn't recognize it any longer...

  • IPod Touch (1st Gen) not syncing with iTunes 11.0.4

    I own an iPod touch 1st generation and for some reason it won't sync music properly with the latest version of iTunes. This problem has been going on for about 6 months. I have found some way around it but it involves wiping the iPod entirely and then syncing it with my iTunes. This, however, is a very long process and I want to know if there is a solution. I do understand that this is a very old iPod (c. 2005) but I've had it from new and other than this problem it works perfectly fine and has a decent battery life. I don't really care much for apps I just want to be able to listen to my music on the train without having to fork out for a new iPod or iPhone.

    I would try:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    I personally think it's the AMDS. It says the drive does not exist even though I reinstalled iTunes multiple times...
    Any suggestions?

    I agree it it the driver since the diagnostics say:
    Apple Mobile Device Driver not found.
