IPod touch doesnt work with Ford Sync after 2,1 upgrade

After I upgraded my iPod Touch to the new 2.1 version I am having all kinds of issues with it. Either it won't charge, says it has no media files, is not connected or device is not supported. Anyone have the same problem. Is there a way of reverting to the old software?

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • Does ipod touch only work with wi-fi? Can I download games through home mac?

    Does ipod touch only work with wi-fi? Can I download games through home mac?

    iPod touch is Wi-Fi only, yes. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by games from home Mac, but you can purchase game apps in iTunes and sync them to your iPod.

  • How does the newest Iphone work with Ford Sync?

    How does the new Iphone work with Ford Sync? I was thinking of purchasing the 4s but may go elsewhere if there is a better phone for the equipment in my vehicle.

    That would be a NO.. I should have done my homework before I switched to IPhone because the Bluetooth just does not want to sync with my Ford Truck. Its such an inconvience. But I see from other posts that Ford isn't the only car experiencing problems. So Hopefully Apple fixes this problem QUICKLY!

  • Does the Ipod Touch 4G work with any Wireless G Router?

    I have a Netgear WGR614 Router(wireless-G). Will the Ipod Touch 4G work with it at all? Please respond. Thank You.

    It should work since the 4G supports a, b,g, and n bands. However, some users have reported problems with older routers. I have an older b/g LinkSys router and my 4G iPod and iPad works fine.
    Hi IIIaass. If you have problem with older routers, Apple recommends you update the router firmware.

    Will my Ipod touch charger work with a Kindle 3 3G?

    If you want to charge a touch gen 4 or less, then absolutly (It just might take a little longer than one specifically for the touch, because of watt dierences I think). I'm not sure about gen 5

  • IPod Touch not working with Verizon fivespot modem

    I cannot get my iPod Touch to work with my Verizon Fivespot hotspot. The hot spot shows up in the WAN settings, but when I try to reach the internet it says it is not available. The Touch works fine with my home hotspot. Any ideas?

    Do other devices work with it? What says "not available"? Is it Safari when you try to connect to a website? If you go into the network settings what IP address is assigned to the iPod? Do wifif arc show on the upper left? Have you looked at the documentation for the Verizon product?

  • My lock button on my ipod touch doesnt work anymore

    My lock button on my ipod touch doesnt work anymore please help it works fine otherwise well and the battery is all the sudden dying really fast and these 2 problems started at the same time.

    - When you depress the button does it feel like it is working?  Could something gotten in the space and jammed the button?
    - Can you reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Have you tried restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes on your computer.
    - Next would be to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod Touch 5 will no longer sync after update 7.1.2

    After updating from iOS 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 my Ipod touch 5th gen no longer syncs with my iTunes 11.3.1.1 when connecting it to my computer (windows 8.1) what comes up on my touch's screen is "trust this computer?" I press the "trust" button then a few seconds later I get the disconnected tone from my computer and nothing else happens (it still charges) and just checked it out on my Windows 7 computer (iTunes 11.3.1.2)and it recognized it fine (but the other computer has my playlists) I've tried updating to iTunes 11.3.1.2, updating iPod drivers and uninstalling then re-installing iPod drivers and iTunes is still not connecting to my iPod. Help please.

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.

  • IPOD TOUCH NOT WORKING WITH ITUNES

    I am using:
    iPod Touch 16GB 1.1.4 (With $25 Software Upgrade)
    Windows Vista Premium Edition
    iTunes 7.6.2
    Whenever I connect my iPod, the device connect sound is made and it shows up in the my computer window, but it will not show up or sync with iTunes.
    I HAVE ALREADY TRIED THE FOLLOWING:
    Reseting the computer
    Reseting the iPod
    Using a different USB port
    Using a different cable
    Erasing ALL of the iPod's contents (Yes I lost my $25 update as well)
    Restarting the "APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT" in the "systems" application
    ...As well as many other things, all with absolutely NO results.
    I have tried to manage my ipod through other programs, nothing seems to work. I connected the iPod to a different computer and everything worked fine.
    I ASSUME the problem has something to do with the iPod Touch's drivers; for whatever reason they might be corrupted or installed incorrectly, thus preventing the iPod from automatically reinstalling them as well as preventing the possibility of syncing.
    My question is, how can I reinstall the drivers without having the iPod touch do it automatically?
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    I fixed the problem myself.
    If anyone else has this same problem and is looking to fix it, here is what I did.
    I found this on another site:
    "Okay well I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple trying to fix this problem. The guy I talked to seemed to have delt with this problem before. He tould me that Apple was getting numerous calls about the iPod touch not connecting with iTunes. So here is the solution that worked for me.
    The first thing you must do it uninstall iTunes and Quicktime using the controll pannel, add/remove hardware, on your windows computer. Once you have uninstalled both of thoes programes go ahead and look for anything else that is Apple and uninstall them as well. There should be an Apple updater or driver that is very critical to uninstall, this was the cause of iTunes not recognizing the new iPod Touch. Next make shure you have the very latest update for Windows on your computer, you can check this on Microsofts web page. Finnaly once you are shure you have UNINSTALLED EVERYTHING that says Apple, iTunes, or Quick time restart your computer and MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR IPOD IS NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR COMPUTER. Then download the newest version of iTunes and install it. Once the installation is complete go ahead and connect the iPod Touch and everything should work.
    I am not shure if this will work for everyone but in my situation it worked. I hope it helps some of you out there!!"
    That worked like a ******* charm. Hope this helps.

  • Does the iphone 4 work with Ford SYNC?  I recently lost all my contacts and think it had something to do with SYNC.  Any suggestions?

    Anybody else had problems with Ford SYNC and iphone 4?
    Lost all my contacts.  Any way to recover them if they haven't been backed up?

    The complaints I've heard most are due to the fact that the iPhone will not let you use the sync system to read and compose text messages, etc. I vaguely recall somthing about address books not syncing properly, but I've never heard of the sync system wiping the address book on the phone. It shouldn't be possible as the iPhone only supports PBAP for contact syncing, which is one way.
    In any event, if the contacts were not synced to something and have been lost, there is no way to recover them, no matter what it was that wiped them.

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch does not work with Ford sync since updating OS

    When I updated my iPod to the new os, it does not work with my ford sync system anymore. how do I fix this?

    Have lots of issues with Fords MySync and here's some info that might help....
    Using ford sync interface, goto the phone section, then settings, and look if your iPhones name is listed, if so select the phone name thru sync interface and remove/delete it from the sync list, then go thru the Bluetooth pairing process again.
    If that doesn't work, do the same on the iPhone, select ford sync entry in Bluetooth and remove sync or forget this device on the iPhone and then go thru Bluetooth pairing again.
    If that doesn't work Power off iphone ( not sleep) hold power button till you see red slider to power off. Then restart iphone, try pairing up again.
    If that doesn't work go back to MySync and goto phone settings and use the up-down slider till you see sync master reset. Confirm then go thru BT pairing again.
    If that doesn't work there is a fuse for the my sync system. Fuse box is usually behind kick panel of front passenger seat side for the Mustang #3, its behind a paper black cover. Remove fuse for 5-30 secs then replace.
    Lastly, make sure your MySync Firmware is the latest vers. Mines 4.0.2 goto fords MySync support page to check
    http://www.ford.com/syncmyride/
    or call 1-800-392-3673 Opt 3
    A google search might help for your model and year if not a newer mustang and you couldn't get to ford.
    Good Luck
