Ipod touch device driver

Hello,
I have an old PC that still meets all the specs required for the ipod touch, but when I tried to plug it in a message popped up on itunes saying that the device driver was too old. So I looked at this help topic:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306640
Following its instructions I uninstalled itunes after everything else seemed correct, then proceeded to delete all itunes related software. I reinstalled itunes 7.5 but it won't reinstall a driver for some reason, so now when I plug in the ipod nothing happens. I checked again and there is no driver, but the help topic doesn't say what to do if you are missing USBAAPL.sys, it only says to check to see if you have it.
Where can I get the windows XP device driver for my new ipod?
Thanks

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
Thanks!

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
*Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
*Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
*The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
*I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
*Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
* Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
*From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
*From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).

Driver Provider - Microsoft
Driver Date - 7/1/2001

Hi. Ive got pretty much the same problem.... Got a new shuffle for christmas..having real problems syncing with itunes.

Ive done restore, and downloaded a reset utility thingy to try but still no joy.

Install Adobe on Ipod touch devices

Is there a way to install Adobe on Ipod touch devices without going through Itunes. We use these devices in the factories and warehouse to do inventory and shipping transactions as well as access email for the users. Currently, when the user recieves and email attachment of a PDF, that atachment does not render correctly on the device because Adobe is not installed. We do not want to have the coportate Itunes account associated with the devices because the devices go into the field and only have intranet access, etc. With some of our other vendors we have...internally signed apps (I have no idea what that means, but that is the term from our IT folks) which allows our IT to install the app on devices as needed or push applications to the devices as needed without going out and downloading it from somewhere. Is this possible with the Adobe app for Ipod devices?

Hi CJONES,
Thank you for posting on the forums. What are you referring here as Adobe? Is it Adobe Reader or Acrobat ?
Acrobat :- We do not have Acrobat for Ipad and Android.
Adobe Reader:- You need to download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/reader-mobile.html
Thanks,

IPod Touch - Device cannot start (code 10)

I am unable to ge iTunes to recognize my new iPod Touch. When I plug it in, it installs the device and states "A problem occurred during the installation...." and when I view the device in Computer Management it has a yellow exclamation point. It does have he correct description (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver) when viewed in Computer Management.
I have deleted all the usb drivers, rebooted and had them resinstalled. I have also uninstalled all the usb devices, rebooted and had them reinstalled. I have updated the BIOS for my motherboard to the highest available. When I plugh the touch in on my friends Mac, it recognizes it right away. When I plug it into my work PC (Same OS) it recognizes it fine also.
I am getting very frustrated with this and would welcome any assistance. Please help.

Ipod Touch Vista driver issues

Wow I have had a bad time trying to get my new ipod touch to work with vista 64
At first my ipod touch was recognizing as a digital camera, now I can get it to recognize as an ipod but when I look at the ipods driver details I see a bunch of crap but not usbaapl64.sys. (I use vista 64 ultimate). Should usbaapl64.sys be listed when you click driver details? See pic. Does peoples driver info match mine?
I tried dragging usbaapl64.sys into a folder on my desktop and tried to direct vista to this folder but every time it says "the best driver software for your device is already installed" then lists "digital still camera". When I point it to system32/drivers, the only recognized driver is "digital still camera" also. I searched for usbaapl64 and indeed it is in the driver folder.
This is driving me crazy, when I get the ipod to become recognized I load up itunes and says I need 64 bit version, which is what I have installed already!
help please
Here is a pic of all the problems

We love the ipod touch; friends love their iphones, several of which bought them after seeing my ipod touch. From December through January I manipulated playlists at will, but no more!
Since one of the February updates, I have seen only grey inaccessible playlists on the ipod in itunes. I have spent farrr toooo much time on this, reading posts, trying this that...sleep is kind of important on occasion. The camera issue sounds like a red herring, looks that way too. My Vista 32 bit sees the ipod under portable devices and has given it a camera driver dated in 2006, but also sees a usb with the usbaapl.sys. I still don't find the usbaapl.inf anywhere after numerous installation/deinstallation/reinstallation rectomoniaie.
This is a reflection on the whole world economy issue: managers rush to the big bucks and disregard the customer, so we run good effort after bad to correct problems that need not be in the first place, and too often cannot solve them. They build so much profit into everything that everybody gets gouged when they buy and gouged again when something updates and does not work, or does not update then quits working.
We have an ipod shuffle 2G that died and none of the apple solutions help anything. At least I have lots of good songs on the touch, even if I cannot add more. For certain, though, I will make certain that everybody inclined to buy Apple will know these issues. Oh...most are already set against Vista!
Yes, I will continue looking for solutions and will post something if it works...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hhhooooooo

Two iPod touch devices sharing an Apple ID. Can I create a new ID for one of them, and will I lose everything if I do?

My three young sons pooled their money and bought an iPod touch a few years ago. The oldest decided he wanted his own. We bought him one for Christmas last year, and I set it up using the same Apple ID. My oldest son downloaded some games but soon found whenever his brothers played the same games, the progress and changes were transferred to his device and vice versa. Is there a way to create a new Apple ID for the old device? If I am able to do that, will the younger kids lose all their pictures and videos? I am not concerned about them losing games or music. They have very little paid content on their iPod, but the older one has hit the age where he wants to start downloading music and better apps. Thank you for any help!!

It the devices have iOS 8 then use Family Sharing
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
Not that yo have to be at least 13 for a regular ID
Changing the ID does not erase any Data from the device
CHANGE ID
The ID is used in the following locations and you have to change them.
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
Note the following are resolved if you use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
If the iPod has iOS 7 or later then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts

Apple IPod USB Device Driver Not Installed? WIndows not reconizing IPod!

Hoping someone can help me with my new Ipod Nano. I installed the IPod Updater and Itunes programs from the provided CD and formatted the Ipod. That all works fine -- the Ipod actually works, etc.
But during the actuall instation process, the Hardware Update Window came up for the 'Apple IPod USB Device' (I use Windows XP) I've tried to have it install automaticaly and manualy, without any luck. As a result, when the IPod is connected to the computer, I get a '!' on the device in Windows Explorer and neither ITunes or the Ipod Updater -- or Windows -- will reconize it!
If I connect my Ipod to the computer, the 'hardware' icon comes up in my system tray and the Ipod screen changes to the 'Do not disconnect' message. I can click on the hardware icon to 'remove' it. But I can't DO anything with the Ipod if nothing will reconize it!
I've tried updating the ITunes and Updater to the latest versions, plugged the USB cable into different spots on my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled everything, this time selecting the 'do not connect the Ipod to the computer at this time' option.....nothing. Windows just will NOT reconize the IPod and everytime I install the software I get that Hardware Update Window screen up!
Is there a driver for this I'm missing somewhere? What's going on? I can't do anything with my IPod and can't even find a phone number to call Apple for help!

1-800-275-2273.
This might be an issue with your operating system. You might also want to try using it on another computer before calling them as they'll probably ask you to do so. This will isolate the problem to your computer and they might tell you to try calling Windows or getting the latest drivers for your computer.

No IPod Touch Device Recognized in Itunes 12.01

I have an IPod Touch - Since I bought in in late 2013, I could not get ITunes to recognize and display my device in ITunes. My old IPod shuffle was recognized and displayed with the same PC and the same PC ports that I used for my IPod touch. I got so exasperated that I packed the IPod away to avoid further frustration.
For the past week I have been embarking on the same journey again, hoping for success but alas the same experience over and over again.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ITunes 12.01 software several times, taking care to download the software only from the Apple website.
I have update all the pertinent drivers on my computer.
I have plugged the IPod into all three ports that my PC have.
I have purchased a brand new authentic Apple Lightning to USB Cable ( The old one was perfectly good and authentic)
I have contacted the Apple support line - no luck the very friendly but clearly incapable agent suggested that I first buy a real authentic connection cable. The one that I had was bought at the local Apple store!
I have reset the IPod several times.
Despite all of the above I get the following message form ITunes whenever I connect" ITunes could not connect to the IPod Touch....because an invalid response was received from the device"
I love my music and my IPod - Is there any one that can share their success in getting it right with me?

IPod Touch, device is frozen

Have an IPod Touch and the screen froze as I tried to access the music library on the device.
Unlocked the device, and promptly tapped 'Music'
'Music' darkened but then the screen froze.
After several minuits, I unplugged the device from my computer to attempt to unfreeze, now the device is frozen showing an unlock while charging screen (battery icon and slide to unlock (w/ March 1, despite being May 3)); and this screen now stays, despite syncing, plugging/unplugging, pushing On/Off, pushing Home nor holding buttons depressed.
Please help.

Just a little confused but did you try resetting by holding down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time - for about 10 seconds - until the Apple logo appears on the screen. When the logo appears you can let go of the buttons. See if that helps and you can return to normal functions.

HT1386 I accidentally synced my new iPad with an old iPod Touch Device, can I undo that? How?

I just got my iPad a half hour ago and by mistake instead of listing it as a new iPad I clicked sync with an old ipod touch. What do I do?!!?

If you want to start all over again - erase it - if that is what you are asking. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings.
If you have a backup of another iPad, restore from that backup and sync again with iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left side under devices and select - Restore from backup. Select the iPad backup from the pop up window and then sync with iTunes after the iPad finishes restoring,

- 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.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to 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.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Ipod touch device for Mac

Could the Ipod touch be used as a touchpad for input to the Mac. This would give the Mac the advantages of the new touch technology.
