  • 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

    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 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...

  • Problems solved: Ipod touch 4th gen not recognized in itunes on windows 8 laptop

    Hi everyone,
    Since the latest update of itunes I have been having trouble trying to sync my ipod touch 16gb (4th gen) with my laptop which I recently updated to windows 8.1. For a week now I been hitting my head for updating both my laptop and the itunes as I can no longer sync with my laptop, and I didn't even know where to begin to solve this problem.
    I tried following all the instructions on the website to try and fix my problem so I got really frustrated and decided to delete all the apple softwares on my laptop. I decided to give it another try and download itunes over fresh and would you believe it... IT WORKED! Now my iPod is syncing again.
    So, guys if your still having this problem, then follow these steps
    1. Access control panel on laptop
    2. Click on programs > Uninstal programs
    3. Click on the following (5) applications and uninstall:
    Apple application support - Uninstall
    Apple mobile decive support - Uninstall
    Apple software update - uninstall
    Bonjour - uninstall
    itunes - intall
    5. Then access itunes and download itunes again and install
    It should work when you connect your ipod via cable.
    Hope this helps
    All the best guys!

    Yes that is a standard fix:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • IPod Touch (2nd gen) not recognized by computer and iTunes

    When I connect my iPod Touch to my laptop, running Windows 7, neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my iPod. Everything worked before with Vista.
    When I plug the iPod into the computer the iPod does turn on put the battery doesn't charge and the iPod does not show on the Device Manager.
    I have gone through and uninstalled and the reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application support. With no positive result. In fact I have done it twice.
    In going back to make sure everything had installed I have noticed several things.
    The Apple Software Update, Bonjour, iTunes folders and Common Files are located in Program Files(x86) There are also copies of the Bonjour, iPod, Common Files, and iTunes folders are also located in the Program Files folder. Are these file locations correct?
    Also, I have read somewhere that there should be usbaapl.cab, usbaapl.inf, usbaapl.sys files. I can't find any of these file. Are these files necessary?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    greetings rkonrv and welcome to Apple discussions !
    it seems your have seen this KG then.
    maybe this tip by Beebopp (though a little off topic) will provide some pointers:
    +This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.+
    +Here are the steps:+
    +1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"+
    +2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account+
    +3. Single left click on START+
    +4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)+
    +5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)+
    +6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)+
    +7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)+
    +8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties+
    +9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab+
    +10. Single left click on " Update driver "+
    +11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista+
    +12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown+
    +13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "+
    +14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.+
    +15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.+
    +16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.+
    +17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.+
    good luck !
