  • IPod Touch not recognized by ITunes, but IPhone is. What can cause only one device to not be recognized?

    I have tried reinstalling ITunes and resetting my IPod Touch. The computer recognizes the IPod Touch as a connected device, but ITunes doesn't. However, ITunes will recognize other devices that I plug in with the same usb cord. ITunes diagonistics only says that no device is plugged in whenever the IPod Touch is plugged in. What can cause this combination of problems, and how could I get around it?

    If you have iTunes 11 on the computer and are using the same cable that works with the iPhone then:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Try on another computer
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware preoblem

    Hi, I have an ipod touch. It has been working well along windows 8 all this while until 1 week ago, itunes can no longer detect the ipod touch. Funnily, when I tried connecting it other computers using Windows 7, it could be detected. I have already tried almost everything such as uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, AMDS restart. What else can I do? I really need to sync some songs into my ipod touch for a run this weekend. Please help!

  • Ipod touch not recognized by itunes

    After installing the recent update for itunes I believe it is 11.0.1, my ipod touch no longer is detected by itunes. It is not listed under the devices. It is recognized by my computer but not my itunes. When I plug it in a screen on the ipod pops up asking if I trust this computer I hit trust and nothing happens. I can't sync it via wi-fi either. I have tried reinstalling Itunes and restarting my computer and none of that has worked.

    It is iTunes 11.1.4
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port

  • IPod Touch not recognized by iTunes after a Reset?

    My iPod Touch is not recognized by iTunes.  This has nothing to do with the new OS update.  2 months ago I was having lots of problems and decided to use the reset since it was not showing up on iTunes to do the Restore.  Since then I was able to get all of my apps back but cannot get anything off the computer like my songs.  When I plug it in anywhere the battery life screen does not come one (dark) and the little sound it makes (silent) is absent as well.  Any ideas anyone?

    Your USB 2.0 cable might be broken. You might need to buy another. Heres some links:
    http://www.amazon.com/Original-Connector-Cable-MA591G-Apple/dp/B004WWLULA/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331433047&sr=8-1
    The one from amazon is around $12 cheaper. But if you want the new Apple Cable, here it is.

  • 4g iPod touch not recognized by iTunes

    I have a 4g iPod touch that is not recognized by iTunes, yet my old Shuffle still is. I went through the entire Apple assistant but no change in status.

    After going through list of actions a second time, I have corrected the problem.
    It started working properly after a proper uninstall and re-installation of iTunes. I had done it once, but I didn't root out ALL the files associated with iTunes.
    You have to find and delete every last one of those little suckers!

  • IPod Touch not recognized by iTunes and not charging when plugged into computer

    I plugged in my iPod touch to my Mac computer. My iPod doesn't charge and iTunes isn't recognizing it. I have turned my iPod on/off, I have reset it, I have the newest version of iTunes, and I restarted my computer. Nothing has helped. What do I do?

    Did it sync to the computer before?
    What model iPod do you have and what iOS is installed?
    Your post states that your have OSX 10.4.11. If you updated the iOS on your iPod on another computer your computer may not recognize the iPod.  The newer iOS require 10.5.8 or higher.

  • IPod Touch Not Recognized in iTunes - Tried Everything

    I recently purchased a new iPod Touch, then upgraded my MacBook from OS 10.4 to OS 10.5.6, with iTunes 8.0.2. Now the iPod Touch is not recognized in the iTunes sidebar. I've read the forum postings and the Apple support documents about this. I've recharged the iPod Touch battery, connected it to a different USB port, turned it off and on again, reset the settings, restarted the computer--all several times. Still, the iPod Touch does not show up in iTunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, Welcome to discussions.
    I noticed you said you updated from 10.4 to 10.5.6 with iTunes 8.0.2
    I agree with Deggie and trying the article posted. But also one of the other things you can try before that article. Is you can delete the iTunes Application from the Application folder, Empty trash, restart the Mac, and then download and install latest version of iTunes. If the article below does not assist ensure you also use the article Deggie posted as it does assist with the Apple Mobile Device service.
