Ipod Touch 4g. itunes will not recognize device. after 20 hours of research....need help.I have installed itunes minimum of 8 times, all 6 componets, I pod will work on different computer.

Present for Christmas, took to my sons house and his computer saw the device instantly, my home computer is xp and old. Has 2.0 usb ports and runs everything else. Disabled security program to install itunes. Other devices work in usb ports just not the ipod. Anyone have any other ideas please???/

Hello, VvioletT. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues syncing your iOS device.  Here are a couple articles that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

    What happens when you try to install the iTunes update? Error messages?
    You might have better luck posting in the iTunes forum sinc you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.

  • Itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory settings

    itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory setting because the phone is locked and cant remember passcode

    Hi CMC08,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain what to do if you forgot your passcode and need to restore your iPhone:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1212
    Erase and restore
    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to erase your device, then use a backup to put your data and settings back on your device.
    Recovery
    Mode
    Use these steps if you've synced your device with iTunes.
    Use these steps if you have an iCloud account and have Find My iPhone turned on. 
    Use recovery mode if you can't sync or connect with iTunes and don't have an iCloud account.
    I hope this information helps ....

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    Hi. During the process of updating my ipad to IOS 6 utilizing iTunes, I received the error #1602. I tried the update procedure again, this time itunes does not recognize the devise. The pad is displaying USB connecter to iTunes. Can anyone recomend a fix?
    Thank you

    There is only one fix now. The message on the screen means that you have to restore the iOS software on the iPad now. Read the part at the very end about using recovery mode.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
    About the error code.....
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    If needed.....
    Additional Information
    If your device is continually restarting, not responding, or showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, place the device into recovery mode and try restoring again.

    I have version 4.4.1 on my computer now, which is functioning properly - but does not read the .ARW files.

  • ZEN Sleek - XP Home will not recognize device for install! PLEASE H

    I have a ZEN Sleek (normal not photo) had it for year now. Lost my install disc and have a new PC. Im running XP Home Edition. I have tryed to install the software on my PC from the downloads page ( for tranfering mp3's and CD's to my player) but when it prompts me to plug in my ZEN Sleek it doesn't recognize the device as being there. I get a "Connect Device" for it to search message. I know my USB is fine. ( I have a PSP/Playstation Portable). Am i missing something, perhaps a driver I also I checked to see if the ZEN Sleek is listing in the device manager. It isn't. What do i do Much Thanks, 2W3Message Edited by 2W3 on 05-26-20070:08 PM

    Tried various boot sequences but still no luck.  This is extremely frustrating since everything is rev'd up and ready to go...but the OS won't boot.
    It appears that everything gets loaded to the HD but the HD will not "boot".  This will happen if I make the HD the 1st, 2nd or 3rd boot device in the sequence.  
    I've seen some chatter about Corsair XMS and K8T Neo incompatability cretaing boot problems.  How about the BIOS version...any suggestions or ideas?
    Kinda stumped here and don't want an expensive paperweight
