I tried restarting the compueter. Nothing.

I tried reinstlling Windows. Nothing.
I'm out of ideas

IPod Touch 1g not recognized in Windows and iTunes

Hi all
i have a old iPod Touch 1g at home. the problem is that the device is death. I can hold Home and Pwr button for a long time but nothing happens.
Even when i connect it to a Pc running XP, Windows 7 or a Mac the screen stays black and no error from windows that drivers are being installed or the "USB-sound".
I looked already in the FAQ and on Google but all the solutions don't work for me.
In short words, i have a death iPod and i have no clue how to fix that or even if its possible to fix it.
Can someone give se some alternative solutions?
Regards
Max

would there be the possibility to send the ipod to apple that they can reinstall the software?
i would take it to the nearest Apple store, especially if it would still be under warranty.
how much would that cost?
if it were still under warranty, they might replace it on the spot at the Apple store.
if you connect your "new" iPod to iTunes, you will be given the option to "restore" your latest backup from the old to the new device.

Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

Ipod Touch is'nt recognized in Windows or Itunes

Hello, my Problem is that my Ipod Touch isn't Recognized in Windows or Itunes on my PC, on a Friends PC it works fine, so u guess the Ipod is ok..
1. I tried everything Restarted Apple Mobile Device Service and reinstalled
2. Reinstalled Itunes
3. Reinstalled Windows
4. Other USB Ports
5. Recovery Mode (In Recovery Mode the Ipod is recognized but can't Restore because bevore it Restores completly it gets automaticly disconnected and does'nt connect again)
I Restored my Ipod at the PC from my Friend, but it still doesn't work here.
The USB Ports also can't be the Problem, since all other USB Devices work fine. And the Ipod Touch worked fine as well till a few Days ago.
Every Help is appreciated.

Hi,
What's the make and model of the PC? Is it a desktop or laptop PC?
Make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC. The tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 will help rule out USB connection issues.
What security software is running on the PC?
If you haven't already, try to reconfigure, update, or uninstall the security software, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125.
Also, this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852 provides general tips that will resolve most issues that prevent the iPhone from being recognized by iTunes.

Ipod nano does not connect to Windows and itunes

Dear All
in my family we have 3 ipods: a shuffle, a ipod 20gb and a nano. While the first 2 are easily connecting to windows and itunes, the nano doesn't and does not recognise the USB port of my laptop[message 'unkwnon device']. I have tried, I think, most of the suggestion I found on the apple support and in the forum. Does somebody know any 'special' tip, my son is really getting frustrated by this situation because he can't get the same music. Please help. Thanks in advance
ciao

Itunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Iphone 4S not recognized in Windows and Itunes

I recently installed itunes 11.1.4 on my Windows 7 (64) laptop computer and my iphone 4S was no longer recognized in Windows or itunes. Previous versions of itunes had worked with no problems with this combination. I completely uninstalled itunes, apple software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour and apple application support and restarted the computer. When I attached the iphone, it was recognized by Windows. I reinstalled itunes only to find the iphone was no longer recognized in Windows or itunes again. When viewing the device in Device Manager, I discovered the yellow exclamation mark and proceeded to attempt to update the driver. Windows reported that it "cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device." Repeated the uninstall and reinstall process with a new download of the itunes installer which produced the same result. Need help resolving this problem because I need to sync data on phone with data on computer.

Hello JHHamlin,
Go through the section 5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed from the link below

Go through the above link in the sections which I am mentioning below and see if it fixes your issue.

* Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Driver
* In the Device Manager window, right-click Universal Serial Bus controllers and choose Scan for hardware changes from the shortcut menu.
* Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver> Browse my computer for driver software> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer> Click the Have Disk button.
* Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
* Double-click the "usbaapl" file
* Click Open in the Have Disk window. Then, click Next and then Click Finish. Windows will install the driver.

My 4th gen ipod touch and my 6th gen ipod touch is not recognized by windows 8 or itunes

Help! Both of my ipods are refusing to be recognized by both windows 8 and itunes.

IPod Touch 3G not recognized by Windows 7 (64 bit)

Like others in this forum, I can't get iTunes 9 to recognize my iTouch (3G). I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) on a brand new Dell computer. I'm not getting any error messages and my computer itself recognizes the iTouch just fine - as a CAMERA! Aside from rebooting both my machine and iTouch several times, I have also tried the suggestions included in other posts, including (1) restarting the Apple Mobile Device service, (2) a clean install of iTunes, (3) disabling all startup programs to identify any incompatibilities (there weren't any), and (4) verifying that I had the correct iPod drivers installed (I did). None of these things worked; however, I will add that I was not able to completely get rid of the AMD when I did the clean install. I un-installed everything in the order prescribed by Apple through the Control Panel, but that pesky AMD wouldn't go away. I tried rebooting and it still wouldn't go away. I don't know if getting rid of AMD would solve the underlying problem (i.e., that I can't get iTunes to recognize my iTouch), so I don't want to get too distracted by that. However, I'm getting desperate after spending HOURS on this and would grealy appreciate help. Note also that my iPod nano works just fine and is recognized by iTunes without a problem.

I'm having the same kind of problem and haved tried pretty much everything my self. We have two computers. One with Vista and the other with XP pro. We have three iPods.
80g video, Touch first generation and touch second generation. Everything works fine with the first two, but windows cannot find the driver for the 2nd generation touch. Altough all drivers seem to be installed. The problem started with the Vista computer. I've uninstalled and re-installed everything and nothing works. Took everything on the XP computer, and the 2nd generation touch is still not recognized.
Of course I-tunes is up to date and all drivers as well.
