IPod Touch not seen by PowerMac G4 running 10.4.11

My iPod shows no acknowledgment of being connected nor does my mac. help please

You won't see an iPod Touch in the Finder (like older iPods), only in iTunes (under devices in the left sidebar). Be sure you are using a USB 2.0 port.
You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:

Ipod touch not seen in sauce menu of itunes

Ipod touch not seen in sauce menu of itunes, I have turned off & on the Ipod and re-downloaded a fresh ITunes software & used a different usb port & restarted the pc but still it is not seeing the IPod Touch. I also got this message when downloading a fresh ITunes software "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

Ipod touch not seen in Itunes on windows 7

My Ipod touch has stopped working. I had a new laptop with vista that i upgraded to windows 7. I can see the ipod (as disk storage) on my computer but when i plug in to USB it bleeps but does not lauch or itunes or become visible if itunes already loaded. I have gone through all apple stuff for clean uninstall of every thing and i upgraded to latest version itunes. I went apple store..not very helpful..said my ipod syncs with a mac but cant do anything because they think it is windows 7! Any ideas, its driving me nuts.
Stuart

Righty-ho.
Here's the theory.
AMDS (which we need for Touch recognition) installs the usbaapl.sys and netaapl.sys drivers on a PC. As well as in the Program files, files for those drivers go into some other locations on a PC. Usually, when AMDS is uninstalled, those files and folders get uninstalled. (I just confirmed that yesterday on my XP SP3 box.) But it is possible for some of those files and folders to get stuck and not be removed by an uninstall. (Confirmed that yesterday on a different XP SP3 box.)
I've confirmed that the leftover files/folders can cause trouble with AMDS reinstalls (they are the source of some "rolling back installation" messages during AMDS installs). But I reckon they might also plausibly cause some grief in iPod/iPhone recognition contexts too. That's what we're going to follow up on with you, Stu.
let's start working on that.
First, we'd better try to track down where the little beggars live on a Windows 7 system. We're going to have to do some settings changes on the PC in order to even see them.
From the Start menu, click Open.
In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that:
The "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected
The "Hide extensions for known filetypes" box is unchecked
The "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" box is unchecked
Click OK.
Now we're going to run a search for usbaapl ... I don't have a Windows 7 box available for reference, but this is how I'd do it in Vista.
I go "Start > Computer" and type usbaapl in the Search box. When it tells me it can't find it, I click Advanced, select the "search hidden, non-indexed and system files (may be slow)" box, and then wait for an eternity until the green progress bar up on the top of the "Computer" window has completely disappeared.
What files and folders with usbaapl in the name do you see show up in your search results, and what are their file locations?
Now repeat the search, this time for netaapl. What files and folders with netaapl in the name do you see show up in your search results, and what are their file locations?

Ipod touch not seen by Macbook, but ipod classic is. Reloaded itunes but that did nothing

My ipod touch is not recognized at all by my Macbook. My ipod classic is; I did reload itunes as described but it did not help. Any thoughts. Ipod touch has the latest OS, and my Macbook has 10.6.8

Try here. Do not omit the Additional Information paragraph since it applies to Snow Leopard.

The iPod touch uses different drivers than the other iPods.

Ipod touch not showing in iTunes

Anyone help?
On an imac with 10.6.1 Mac OS and iTunes 9.1.1
Recently the HDD failed and Apple replaced, but since then ipod touch not recognized in iTunes.
Have followed all the steps in the support document for resetting, rebooting, reinstalling etc. and ipod touch is recognized the first time after following this process, but then after that when I boot up my mac and iTunes a second time, it stops being recognized again. I cannot reinstall iTunes every time I want to sync my ipod touch!!! Anyone else had similar issues and solved?
Thanks

I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

IPod Touch not Synchronising/New Software Uploads-A/V Software Conflict

Hi,
I've been following the threads relating to the iPod Touch not being recognised (after having dealt with Windows thinking it was a Camera!!). One issue brough to my attention by the Apple Support Team when downloading any new software is a potential conflict with Anti Virus software and firewalls.
I had previously gone through the loop of uninstalling/reinstalling Quicktime, iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service etc etc.
In my case, when I connected the iPod, iTunes was coming up with a message saying "iPod detected in recovery mode", which then required me to do an updated software download. When running this, it appeared to complete the download, but the iPod remained with the "connection" screen (USB connector and iTunes symbol), as indeed it did again tonight.
I spoke with the Apple Support Team again tonight, and was advised to try disabling my anti virus software and firewall as he suggested that given the long time it takes to download the iPod software update, the AV software may be causing the problem.
This I did, and after having been advised last night to set up a new account, switched to this account, started iTunes, the Touch then went into software upload "mode" and eventually completed and appeared in the devices!!
So that's my problem resolved, but hopefully the advice I received may be of assistance to others struggling with connectivity issues.
Good luck everyone.

Thanks for the information, tony!
Apologies for the nosy question, but what security software do you use? (I know people can have issues with CA software in particular in this context, but it is always useful to know about other packages when trying to help with people in your situation.)

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.

IPhoto[v 9.5.1] on MBP won't load photos from iPod touch Gen4 32GB, even if let run overnight

iPhoto [v 9.5.1] on MBP won't load photos from iPod touch Gen4 32GB, even if let run overnight and don't let machine go to sleep.
MBP has 8GB Ram and separate video card using 2.3 Ghx i7 processor ... so i don't think it is a hardware issue.

Hello A_MadDog,
It sounds like you are not able to import photos from your Camera Roll on your iPod touch. I recommend following the steps in the article below for the issue you described:

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop if I put in an event on the ipod calendar?

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
It will if I put it in on my desktop though.
Please help,

Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

How do I sync "On My iPod touch" notes with and IMAP account?

I wrote a number of notes in the Notes app before I configured it to sync with an IMAP account. I have added an IMAP acct. to the device and configured that acct. to sync notes. Notes now has an accounts section, and that section lists "On My iPod touch" and the IMAP acct. How do I get the "On My iPod touch" notes sync'd with my IMAP?

Have you tried restoring the ipod?

If this fails, then it is likely a hardware problem.

HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

IPod Touch not recognised on Windows 8 and will not appear as connected in iTunes.

Usually when I plug my iPod Touch (4th Gen) into my laptop (Windows 8) it appears automatically on iTunes for me to sync. However, when I tried to do this today, iTunes did not recognise that a device was connected and this was confirmed after I did a diagnostic test. Windows recognises that an iPod has been plugged in, however where it usually says "Alicia's iPod Touch", it just appears as "Apple iPod" and when I click on it, I cannot access any photos/videos that I have on my iPod. Any help would be very much appreciated if anybody know how I can fix this. Thank you.
