IPod Touch 2g no longer recognized by Mac Pro

Earlier this week my Mac Pro stopped recognizing my 2g iPod Touch (doesn't show up in iTunes at all).
So far I've tried:
* Using a different USB port (ports tried work fine with other peripherals)
* Restarting the iPod
* Restarting the Mac
* Deleting & recreating iTunes library (per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451)
* Deleting & reinstalling iTunes (per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
* Wiping iPod
* Deleting & reinstalling Mobile Device support (per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747)
Despite all of this, the Touch fails to show up in iTunes -- the cable & iPod are fine, as they sync properly with our iBook (which, unfortunately, has none of my media on it, nor the disk space for it).
What's the next step?

I wouldnt think it is un-fixable, just have to narrow down where the issue is.
Im assuming since you reinstalled iTunes that the current version(8.2.1) is installed. When you uninstalled iTunes, did you just do iTunes and the iTunes helper? or did you remove all of the plist files as well?
I would follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747 to remove apple mobile device and do http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 all the way through including the com.apple.iTunes files and then reinstall iTunes so that it replaces both iTunes and AMDS at the same time.
Is the iPod charging when its connected?
I do apologize for acknowledging that you said the iPod did work on your Macbook in your first post.

IPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes

Hello all,
I have to update iTunes to version 8.0.1 to new version 8.0.2. Then, I restart the computer and my iPod Touch (firmeware 2.1, none-jailbreaked) is no longer detected by iTunes, unfortunately
It's detected by Windows as a camera (normal, because screenshots) but iTunes doesn't respond to its connection to the computer. It isn't detected by Windows like an iPod Device, just detected like a Apple iPod camera.
I ... reinstalled iTunes after uninstall it, restart the computer, restarted the iPod, yet restarted the computer, removed the iPod detected as camera, reattached (redetected as camera), deleting old registry values, restarted, change USB port ... nothing done!
Please to help me !
PS : Excuse me for english because French is my mother language.

Ipod Touch Apps No Longer Recognized in iTunes

I have a 32GB 2nd generation iPod Touch and have been adding applications to it from the iTunes Store through my MacBopok Pro now for many months with no problems. However, after I upgraded to Leopard OS the iTunes program no longer sees any of the applications on my iPod Touch and if I try to sync the two iTunes tells me I will lose all the applications and related information on the iPod Touch. Any suggestions as to how and get the iPod Touch applications back into iTunes so I can start syncing again? I have tried to reinstall iTunes as suggested on another forum, but it made no difference. Thanks for the help.

Since you upgraded your OS, make sure iTunes recognizes your computer as "Authorized". If you have to, deauthorize it and then reauthorize it.
Since you own the apps, you can download them again in iTunes. You will get a message from itunes telling you that you have "already purchased this, do you want to download again". Just check yes.

Ipod touch is no longer recognizing my memorex speaker accessory

For the past year i have had not problems using my memorex speaker ipod accessory - recently after an ipod update -- it now says ipod touch does not recognizes this accessory

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
After some previous update, users have reported ther their accessories no longer worked. What was the update that started the problem?

Purchases made on my ipod touch are no longer being transferred to the Mac...but yet they are showing up in "grey" in the purchased list on the Mac. Any clues as to what is going on?

What used to work just fine, is no longer working...
Within the last 2 days, song purchases that were made on my ipod Touch are no longer being transferred when the ipod synchs up. The strange thing is that the songs appear in iTunes --> Store -- Purchased list, but are greyed out. They play just fine on the ipod...but aren't making it back to the Mac.
I have tried right clicking on the ipod when it appears in iTunes and selecting "Transfer purchases", but that doesn't seem to work either.
Any clues as to what is going on?
Thanks,
Tim

One other very important piece of information I forgot to include...the purchases were made prior the iOS update. So the sequence of events went like this:
1) ipod Touch with previous iOS (4.0 I think)
2) purchases made
3) ipod connected and iTunes prompts for iOS update
4) iOS upgraded to 5.0
5) Now the purchases seem to be stranded on the ipod Touch
Thanks!

HT4623 my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?

my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?

the computer is a macbook pro, mac os x 10.6.08 and the ipod touch is ios 6.0.
the problem is that just updated the itunes on the computer and now the ipod won't connect because apparently the itunes on the ipod is not up to date but the iod is telling me that is is up to date, so i can't do a software update.

2-3 old ipod touch is no longer syncing to itunes library, which was recently moved to new laptop.

Recently moved my library of music, audiobooks, and podcasts to new laptop with Windows 8, at which time I upgraded my itunes software as well. My 2-3 year old ipod touch is no longer syncing properly. Audiobooks and podcasts are fine (after much effort), but all of two songs out of an extensive music library are the only ones syncing. I see them in my library on the new computer and have managed to sync them to my iphone 5 as well. Ipod touch appears to have ample file storage space left. What gives? Is the i-pod touch already useless with the latest Itunes software? Operator error? Hardware problem? I don't know what to think. Have been using ipods for years without this issue.

My iPod touch is synced to my old Mac and I have a new PC. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer it will make the connection sound, but will not show up in my iTunes. I do not care to have the content copied over. Any suggestions?

iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Ipod Touch 3rd Gen - not recognized by computer or itunes. Shows cable pointing to itunes logo. Can't reset it. Doesn't work at all. Have tried all the supposed fixes on the apple site with no luck. It suggested asking other users !

I have a 3rd Generation ipod touch that is not recognized by itunes or my computer. My itunes works with other apple devices I own. I cannot reset the ipod touch and can never get to the screen where it is supposed to show a red battery to turn it off. I can't reset it. Have tried to use the suggestions on the apple site to no avail. Any suggestions ?

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

IPod Nano 3G lo longer recognized after Update to iTunes 9 on Vista 32 Ulti

So i updatedt to iTunes 9 yesterday - only to find out that my iPod 3G is no longer recognized by iTunes. Also my 2G are not recognized any longer on this machine
ALL three iPods still work fine with my other computer whicgh is running the same Windows version but has still iTunes 8 installed.
With the IPod service disabled the iPods appear properly as a device - they show their assigned name and you can browse the content.
When the service is enabled and you start iTunes iTunes displays a message that says that it "discoveerd" the iPod but could not identify it
see heer http://0711.diy-punk.net/WOW/ipodfu.jpg
also as soon as iTunes gets involved the device is no longerreadable under Windows
i tried multiple reboots, restart of iPod service, rebooted the iPod, resetted the iPod - nothing helps...

Yeah... I hope apple solves this problem soon. =\
I use Windows XP instead of Vista...
This happened to me:
I plugged my iPod
Oppened the iTunes, iTunes recognized the iPod with all the songs, album covers, playlists, etc.
It asked for update. (Download & Instal, ok)
Finished the update, oppened the iTunes 9.0. Added a new songs but then I realized it didn't recognize the iPod (wich was plugged.)
I checked on "My computer" and I saw "iPod". Ok.
When I ejected the iPod it was clean. No musics, no Videos, no playlists. Started on the screen "Select your language".
I Tried reinstaling the iTunes but whenever I got an older version it said something like "The iTunes can't be started because the iTunes library has been generated by a new version."
Restarted my PC several times.
Rebooted the iPod.
Tried switching USBs.
NOTHING works.
Nothing at all.
even tryed the manage thing on "My Computer".
If they don't find a way of fixing this bug my iPod Nano is not better than a f**kin' Pendrive... ~.~"
Hope apple do something...

My ipod touch is no longer working with universal dock since downloading the new OS

I have the Apple Universal Dock. It had been working fine with my ipod touch. I just downloaded the new OS and now my ipod touch will not work with the Universal Dock.
Any ideas?

Hi grecokev,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

My 4th generation ipod touch is not being recognized on my computer what do i do ?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or

- 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
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
Thanks!
Signed, a very frustrated iPod user in Ohio!

All I can suggest is the standared fixes. It seems very strange
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Bring the cable and Apple wall charger too.
