Ipod touch not recognized by windows or itunes by one laptop fine on any other laptop

I have a laptop that runs windows 7, my ipod classic and nano all get recognized by computer and itunes.  When I plug in my ipod touch, it isn't recognized by either, but when I plug it into another computer or laptop running windows 7, it is recognized.  I have run all the recommended steps, reinstalled itunes several times, why won't this work?

Did you try everything here:

Did you remove and reinstall ALL Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

  • IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

    First of all, hello to everyone...
    i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
    the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
    my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
    but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
    ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
    i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
    1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
    2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
    3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
    4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
    the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
    i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
    thx in advance!!

  • IPod Touch not recognized by Windows Explorer.

    My iPod Touch is shown in iTunes' list of devices but is not recognized by Windows Explorer.  Another possibly consequential symptom is that iTunes will not start when the device is connected to the computer.  Any help appreciated.
    Windows 7 Pro, IE9, have verified latest version of iTunes.

    If your iPod is recognized by iTunes (and by your photo app as a camera), then that's how it should be. To startup iTunes when the iPod is connected, check the appropriate option on the iPod's Summary page in iTunes.

  • IPod Touch not recognized in Windows & iTunes won't start unknown error -50

    I have been trying to fix a connectivity issue with my iPod touch for almost 6 hours now. I've read all over the iPod Touch forums and none of the solutions worked for me. I've installed and uninstalled iTunes multiple times and nothing seems to work.
    Also, earlier this evening iTunes was working but it wouldn't recognize my iPod touch although it would charge. Now that iTunes won't start I'm also having problems with charging my iPod and at no time, was my iPod ever recognized in 'My Computer'.
    Someone please help! I'm at my wits end without being able to use and update my iPod. All help/insight/suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance!

    how did you test that ?
    anyhoo, you might want to give this a shot:
    +Hi, All,+
    +It works now, It suddenly stopped detecting due to unknown reasons, but try these steps.+
    +Restart the device without connecting to your pc and+
    +Connect to pc and restart again, I did this 2 times and it was recognized and its working fine.+
    +Best of luck.+
    here's the original thread: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-17997-ipod-not-detected
    if still no joy, it could be that your Touch is a goner. if it is still under warranty, you should plan a trip to the nearest Apple store.

  • TS1369 ipod touch not recognized by computer or itunes

    My iPod Touch is not recognized by my computer or itunes. I believe this happened after the recent upgrade for latest fixes.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Also, if you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • Ipod touch not recognized in windows after reset

    I just reset my ipod touch in itunes and now it's not recognizing it. i was updating to 2.2.1 firmware and i never got past the update. it's hung on that screen that has the usb and cd. and windows keeps saying found new hardware and wants a driver. my ipod does not work now. how do i get windows to recognize it so i can finish the update.
    I'm on xp 64 bit. and yes i'm using a hacked version of itunes. but it worked with this update before. i actually had the 2.2.1 firmware on it already but i needed to reset the ipod because i have a dead strip i was hoping a reset would fix. now nothing works.

    I uninstalled iTunes, rebooted, and reinstalled.  Now, the iPod is being recognized by iTunes.  Hopefully, it will remain recognized the next time I reboot Windows.  I'd hate to have to uninstall/reinstall each time.
    But, I'm using a beta operating system, and knew the ramafications when I installed it.  So, whatever happens, happens.  Thank you for responding.   Jd

  • IPod Touch Not Recognized in Windows 8.1 Preview

    Hello.  I installed Windows 8.1 Preview clean last week, and am now having problems getting my iPod Touch recognized within iTunes.
    Normally, there is a button marked On This iPod, which I click, and then load music in that screen.  That button is not appearing.
    Furthermore, usually my iPod is listed somewhere in Windows Explorer.  It is not listed.  I've tried hooking the iPod Touch up to each of my USB ports.  I also have a 4-port USB 3.0 hub and tried them.  The device isn't being recognized.
    I understand it's possible there could be conflicts between Windows 8.1 and some software.  Windows 8.1 is, of course, still in the beta stages. But I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem, and if there might be a workaround for it.
    Thank you!   J. Danniel

  • IPod Shuffle Not Recognized In Windows Or iTunes v7.0 - What Now?

    Hello everyone,
    I am having the same problem as many who have posted here. I have upgraded my software to iTunes v7.0.1.8. I also accepted the auto update for my iPod Shuffle - 512GB 1st Gen to v 1.44 (I believe). Of course, now my Shuffle is not recognized in iTunes and is only recognized in Windows for less than 5 seconds (as I have monitored it). I am listing below all of the actions I have taken today.
    As none of these have worked, my question is now what? Does anyone have any other suggestions before I take the dreaded step of calling support? Any help is appreciated.
    I am not happy with this upgrade issue at all. I expect much better from Apple.
    Steps Already Taken:
    1. Reset iPod.
    2. Set Terminal Services to "Manual" and restarted my laptop PC.
    3. Changed all USB Root Hub entries power management options to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option" and rebooted.
    4. Assigned my external hard drive a different letter as it was assigned to "E" and tech support documentation suggested I changed it - I changed it to "M".
    5. I stopped the iPod Service via the Services and Application interface from My Computer/Manage, reattached the Shuffle, and started the iPod Service. The Shuffle was still not recognized.
    6. I uninstalled iTunes 7.0.1.8, the Apple Software update and QuickTime. I deleted all temp directories; program files folders and all possible traces of all three pieces of this software. I also deleted my iTunes library. I reinstalled all of this software and re-built my Library. NONE OF THIS WORKED!
    My 30GB Video iPod works fine and always has - it is only the shuffle for which I have this issue any only since the upgrade.
    What do I do now? If no one has another fix, I will be forced to call Tech Support after an experience with them over a year ago I would almost rather throw this thing away!

    qswh - I too cannot play the songs that are loaded on the shuffle. Additionally, I get a green & orange light when I plug it into a USB port and then I either get a blinking orange light or a solid orange light from there after.

  • Ipod Touch Not Recognized By PC or iTunes?

    I need help with my iPod touch!  I've attempted this on three different computers ( one running XP, one running Vista, and one running 7)  The computer doesn't recognize the iPod at all when its plugged in ( not even the "tone" that tells you something is connected) and it does not show up in iTunes.  I've run through every troubleshooting option on the apple support page ( uninstall/reinstall iTunes, checked for third party software, made sure the mobile device driver is working) and I just bought a brand new USB cord to make sure that it wasn't that.  Nothing.  It isn't showing that its charging (not the green battery charge symbol), but when the battery dies it will charge enough to turn it on and give me about 15% of battery life.  I'm really stumped -- I've only had this for about 18 months and already had to send it back to Apple twice for service/replacement.  Is there anything else I can do short of paying Apple to fix it AGAIN?

  • Ipod touch not recognized by windows 7

    Hello,
    I know this is a commonly asked issue on these forums. So I will be as thorough as possible. I am using an ipod touch first gen running iOS 3.0. I am trying to sync it up to my computer which is running windows 7 profession service pack 1. I have followed the steps on the apple help guide and with apple device manager running automatically, I cannot get the device to work. I have reinstalled itunes and the ipod has a charge (for the time being). I was wondering if anyone had any more tips or tricks to get my ipod to be recognized? (My usb ports all work and if I plug it into my parents computer it is recognized there).

    The symptoms are a bit different, but since you've got an nVidia chipset and (presumably) at least 4 GB of RAM, I think the first thing to do is make sure you've applied the *Microsoft Host Controller Driver Update* available for you at your drivers and downloads page at HP:
    [HP Pavilion Elite e9120f Desktop PC > Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit) > Software & Driver Downloads: Microsoft Host Controller Driver Update|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv -78469-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=4063&product=3970019]
    With that update in place, does the Touch behave a bit better when you plug her into the PC?

  • IPod touch not recognized after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.2

    Hi,
    I've an iPod touch 16GB firmware version 3.1.2. I let it sync with my iMac (2006 white plastic) running Mac OS X 10.4.11. I've just upgraded my iTunes form 9.01 to 9.02, and my iMac does not recognize iPod touch when I plug-in the USB connector. I can't see iPod touch in the iTunes, and the iPod touch does not even show the charging screen.
    Then I tried to connect iPod touch to my MacBookPro 13" 2009 running Mac OS X 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.2, and it works just what it should be.
    Does iTunes 9.0.2 incompatible with Mac OS X 10.4.11 ?
    I'll try to do some self-cleaning tasks and try it again.

    Ok, my bad.
    After repairing permission and clearing cache, now it worked.
