Ipod Touch Vista driver issues

Wow I have had a bad time trying to get my new ipod touch to work with vista 64
At first my ipod touch was recognizing as a digital camera, now I can get it to recognize as an ipod but when I look at the ipods driver details I see a bunch of crap but not usbaapl64.sys. (I use vista 64 ultimate). Should usbaapl64.sys be listed when you click driver details? See pic. Does peoples driver info match mine?
I tried dragging usbaapl64.sys into a folder on my desktop and tried to direct vista to this folder but every time it says "the best driver software for your device is already installed" then lists "digital still camera". When I point it to system32/drivers, the only recognized driver is "digital still camera" also. I searched for usbaapl64 and indeed it is in the driver folder.
This is driving me crazy, when I get the ipod to become recognized I load up itunes and says I need 64 bit version, which is what I have installed already!
help please
Here is a pic of all the problems

We love the ipod touch; friends love their iphones, several of which bought them after seeing my ipod touch. From December through January I manipulated playlists at will, but no more!
Since one of the February updates, I have seen only grey inaccessible playlists on the ipod in itunes. I have spent farrr toooo much time on this, reading posts, trying this that...sleep is kind of important on occasion. The camera issue sounds like a red herring, looks that way too. My Vista 32 bit sees the ipod under portable devices and has given it a camera driver dated in 2006, but also sees a usb with the usbaapl.sys. I still don't find the usbaapl.inf anywhere after numerous installation/deinstallation/reinstallation rectomoniaie.
This is a reflection on the whole world economy issue: managers rush to the big bucks and disregard the customer, so we run good effort after bad to correct problems that need not be in the first place, and too often cannot solve them. They build so much profit into everything that everybody gets gouged when they buy and gouged again when something updates and does not work, or does not update then quits working.
We have an ipod shuffle 2G that died and none of the apple solutions help anything. At least I have lots of good songs on the touch, even if I cannot add more. For certain, though, I will make certain that everybody inclined to buy Apple will know these issues. Oh...most are already set against Vista!
Yes, I will continue looking for solutions and will post something if it works...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hhhooooooo

Touch screen on tablet not working - Vista driver issue (self-inflicted)

I recently tried to update some drivers on my HP tx1220us tablet computer using some 3rd party software. Long story short, I messed up the driver to the tablet touch screen. When I try to Calibrate , it says tablet hardware not found. I know it's not a hardware issue because the pc dual-boots and the other O/S side (Win7) works fine. Which driver is the Vista driver for the digitizer hardware? Thanks for any help.

Did you try installing the Touch Driver?

Brand New Ipod Touch and already issues

Alright, before I begin, I'm running 32bit Windows Vista Home Premium on an AMD Dual Core 1.9ghz processor with 2gb ram, as well I've had an iPod Nano before getting this iPod Touch without any problems before hand.
I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled with a clean download from the apple website of iTunes (To ensure new drivers, etc), I plug in my iPod Touch to let it charge and to connect to start transferring music. I start up iTunes, plug my iPod Touch, first thing I see on the screen of my iPod is an error from what I've researched before writing this post. A USB cord with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo.
First thing I do, I've already uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, restarted my computer, and ensured that iTunes was up to date. Check, check, and check.
I had also noticed while my iPod was plugged in, was that whenever I would try to connect it to iTunes, I would be presented with was : "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not started."
Thought to myself, that's odd. I went to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, located "Apple Mobile Device", and next to it was blank. No "Started", no "Stopped", nothing, just blank. I right clicked on the service and went to properties to check and see if it was set to start up, it was set to Automatic. I switch to Manual, tried to start it again but presented with "The Apple Mobile Device service started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs", Switched it back to Automatic, same issue.
Take into consideration, I have my avast! antivirus down. So I have no issues with antivirus/firewall going on right now.
I have checked my drivers for the iPod under Device Manager, Apple Mobile Device has shown up and has been installed correctly, including "USBAAPL.SYS", was showing no problems installing.
I sincerely do not know what to do beyond this point. I figure something is wrong with the Service, either that or iTunes is royally screwing something up. The error on the iPod I know means that it needs to restore itself with the help from iTunes, but iTunes is neglecting its presence (To my knowledge)

not sure, but i think bonjour also has to be running. check it out.
ah, under the startup type, are u saying that field is blank, rather than "manual", "automatic", "automatic (delayed start)" or "disabled"??

IPod Touch Power Button Issue?

I have an 8GB 1st Generation iPod Touch (The one without the camera, power button on the left side instead of the right, yada yada yada). I've had it since Christmas, and it's run perfectly well, until yesterday. I began to notice that the power button (the small button at the top) was sticky. Not stuck, but simply sticky. Instead of having to tap it and add a slight pressure to get it to turn on, turn off, lock, ect, I now have to push down so hard that it leaves imprints on my fingers, not to mention that it doesn't always respond, as if it's jammed, and if I'm not very persistent it will lock, but not turn off. I have to try three or four times to turn it off using the power button, though occasionally the screen will flicker like I'm hitting the button multiple times. It's not like the button is stuck - I can still use it, but it's sticky. I was wondering if there is any solution that doesn't require sending my iPod in?
If you need any further explanation feel free to let me know, I'll be willing to tell you. Sending my iPod in isn't a problem really, though if there's a simple fix that I'm not aware of (seeing as this is my first iPod) I'd be much more willing to keep it here.

Hi,
I have an 32G 2nd generation iPod touch with a problematic on/off button, and I'm not sure this is a physical problem at all.
My touch worked perfectly well until the version 3.0 update, and then I started having problems with the on/off "wake/sleep" button.
I often have to take 3 or 4 attempts to turn the screen off, and then when it does turn off it comes back on again with the "red bar" to switch it off. This is only supposed to happen when you purposely hold down the on/off button, but it does it when it feels like it now!
Like I said, it worked perfectly well on the version 2.0 software, but you couldn't possibly get into DFU mode to return it to version 2 because holding onto the button no longer seems to get the "red" bar to come up, so I've no idea where I am with it! It drives me nuts, but I'm almost positive it's an issue with the software.
Yes, I've tried a restore on several occasions, and turning it off and on so many times I can't count, but the problem never goes away!
I've asked Apple several times to deal with the issue, but they've had at least 6 attempts now, and nothing has been done about it. My Touch will now be stuck on 4.1 forever as I can't get iTunes 10, because I have an old mac that's on 10.4.11.
I'll have to live with it as it is, as I can't afford to upgrade, and I don't want to anyway because it works perfectly well, EXCEPT for this one annoying issue.

Ipod Touch (2g) Transfer Issues

I'm on Windows 7 RTM, when it comes to moving content from my PC to my IPod I have no issues, everything transfers just fine.
When transferring content from my ipod to my pc however, there are constant issues with the transfer freezing and what appears to be the driver for ipod simply 'locks' or similar.
This is an example of what happens:
I connect my ipod, load up itunes
I goto 'Transfer Purchases' as I've just bought some songs
It begins transferring the purchases lets say it transfers 1 file completely
During the next file the bar will freeze at some point
On my Ipod itself the 'sync' message dissapears as if the Ipod was no longer plugged into the computer, the computer and itunes application still think my Ipod is plugged in, even if I were to disconnect it.
It should also be noted that, after this occurs itunes does not start, and ultimately to get functionality back I must restart the computer.
I'm wondering if anyone has encountered similar issues and knows how to correct this?

IPod touch 5 lag issue running iOS 8.1 ( PLEASE RESOLVE THIS ASAP)

OMG, i'm just fed up of using this iPod 5 after this new update of apple's iOS 8.1. I did checkout iOS 8.1.1 but as it bought no changes to the performance i just downgraded it back to iOS 8.1. Well performance really matters on a device. The day i updated it to iOS 8, my iPod 5's performance has been sluggish and worse when compared to the old iOS 7.1.2 . If i had chance to downgrade it now i would do it asap but unfortunately there isn't any way but to suffer with this new sluggish iOS 8.1. If there is someway that apple can help us then its by increasing the performance on such A5 devices like iPhone 4S, iPad..., iPod touch 5, then please help us. If i ask this question "Is there anyway to increase or speed up my performance of my iPod 5", Then the reply from you people would be to either buy a new device by dumping this or to remove background apps,reduce motion etc. (WHICH I HAVE ALREADY DONE.) and the performance is WORSE or UNBEARABLE on this device after updating to iOS 8 - iOS 8.1. When i just tap settings it takes about 3 - 4 secs or more to show up which is too bad. Please try to solve this issue on older devices running A5 chip by either giving us an another opportunity to downgrade to iOS 6 or 7 (PLEASE) or by improving this current OS performance issue just like iOS 7. I request you to solve this issues for the people like us who are an APPLE fan and still using devices running A5 chip and we just like it so much but please don't let us hate it by making it's performance worse. Yes, i do know that the all new iOS 8 was made for the newer devices running new CHIP, but then why did the update just come up for devices running A5 chip then if it would ruin the performance? Or was this is a marketing strategy to make our device's performance unbearable and worse so we hate it and buy a new device so you can increase your sales? Everyone cannot afford a device just like that as time goes. I further pledge you people to solve this sluggish performance issue on these older device who got this iOS 8 updates (RUNNING A5 chip).
Thank You for your time for reading my message.

to whom it may concern

IPod Touch 4th Generation issue - no longer able to view Device in iTunes? I can't add, Sync, Back Up or Restore?

The PC’s I use have Windows 7 installed along with the latest version of iTunes. I have
previously deleted all components of iTunes and re-installed. This made no difference. The PC’s do not recognise my iPod in the Windows Device Manager using ‘devmgmt.msc’. and still nothing in iTunes.
Also C:\Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers / - do notlist ‘usbaapl64’.
The folders listed are ‘usbaapl.cat’, ‘usbaapl.inf’,‘usbaapl.sys’ and ‘usbaaplrc.dll’.
Whether this makes a difference I do not know.
iTunes doesn’t recognise my iPod either however it recognises my attached iPhones OK
(iTunes/File/Devices) with the options of Sync; Transfer Purchases and Back Up being available.
When my iPod is connected, iTunes shows the File ‘Devices’ sections as being inaccessibly greyed out.
So to reiterate, I have tried multiple computers and a variety of Windows operating systems (but I’m running Windows 7) with absolutely no success; the ‘Device Manager/Universal Serial Bus controllers/Apple Mobile Device USB Driver’ appears with my iPhone but nothing for my iPod; the Apple Mobile Device Support is installed; all my USB cables work OK; the device does not appear in Windows or in iTunes; iTunes has been fully uninstalled and reinstalled; the version of iTunes is up to date; the iOS of the iPod Touch shows it is up to date at version 6.1.6 (and cannot be changed) and even a hard reset has been tried. Everything tried and suggested with complete failure.
I can use a USB port to charge up my iPod and can still receive e-mails, updates to apps and can play songs but I can’t add any new songs or update iOS. There are no error codes because as far as the computer and/or iTunes is concerned, there is no connected iPod. My iPod used to work perfectly. Also I tried the Apple iPod forum without success and was advised to try the iTunes community support.
Please help! Thank you.

I'm having the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. After the update my iPod synched and wiped all my music off - apps & podcasts weren't affected. Restored it a couple of times and that didn't work.
I tried copying a couple of albums over and it would do a couple of songs then the rest of the album would look like it had copied instantly. I tried playing the songs and it would play the first couple of songs once, then it came up with ! Beside every song (including the ones I'd just played and said they weren't on my iPod.
I've removed iTunes from my laptop and downloaded the few iTunes bought albums over WiFi to my iPod. The rest of my music is from cds or mixes/podcasts downloaded from soundcloud so I've had to use a different program to copy some of this music to my iPod for the time being until I can see how to sort this out.

Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
*Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
*Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
*The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
*I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
*Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
* Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
*From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
*From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).
Apple iPod USB Device properties:
Driver Provider - Microsoft
Driver Date - 7/1/2001
Driver Version - 5.1.2535.0
Digital Signer - Microsoft Windows Publisher

Hi. Ive got pretty much the same problem.... Got a new shuffle for christmas..having real problems syncing with itunes. Funnily enough I managed to get 25 tracks on it but then it just stopped. error message says " The ipod shuffle cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found." Ive done restore, and downloaded a reset utility thingy to try but still no joy.

Ipod touch device driver

Hello,
I have an old PC that still meets all the specs required for the ipod touch, but when I tried to plug it in a message popped up on itunes saying that the device driver was too old. So I looked at this help topic:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306640
Following its instructions I uninstalled itunes after everything else seemed correct, then proceeded to delete all itunes related software. I reinstalled itunes 7.5 but it won't reinstall a driver for some reason, so now when I plug in the ipod nothing happens. I checked again and there is no driver, but the help topic doesn't say what to do if you are missing USBAAPL.sys, it only says to check to see if you have it.
Where can I get the windows XP device driver for my new ipod?
Thanks

1st gen iPod touch wifi connection issue, grayed out wifi area in settings

I have a first generation iPod touch and I'm having difficulty connectiong to wifi. It tells me there is "no wifi" and the wifi area in settings is grayed out. I have never encountered this problem in the seven months I've owned this device. My wifi is currently being used by the other three devices that normally share it with my iPod, and they're running just fine as usual. I've already tried restoring my iPod, as well as updating my iTunes to the newest possible software, then restarting the computer. I've looked through all of Apple's troubleshooting guides, to no avail. Any tips from people who've had the same issue or actually understand technology? All help is greatly appreciated!

IPod touch 8GB screen issue

I posted this in another forum, but I didn't get any replies. So I'll post it here.
Hi guys. I've been trying to fix this problem ever since it occurred (a few weeks after I received my iPod... I've had it for around a year and a half now), but something like this has never happened before.
I just updated my 8GB iPod touch to iOS 4 a few days back (I also updated to iTunes 10). Now, when I'm on my 'Songs' list, and I try to scroll down using the right side's little list thing (A to #), the screen doesn't respond. I'm also having issues with the keyboard--the letter 'P' to the far right of the keyboard won't respond when I casually touch it--I need to put more pressure on it then the other letters. As for the right hand side song list, it only responds to me sometimes, if I'm pressing down really hard. This never happened to me before iOS 4, and it's becoming a huge nuisance.
The side list works if I press down hard with my thumb/any other finger. But I can't just touch only one letter any more--I have to keep an even pressure on the entire list.
This is annoying. Is it also an update? Because that doesn't make any sense... the 'P' button on the keyboard still isn't working properly, though.
I tried a soft reset, then I tried a hard reset and restore. Didn't work.
I read on some other sites that this can be an effect of updates, but I'm not too sure about it. I even took off my protective cover to see if the screen worked/responded better. It doesn't. Plus I don't think I have a warranty for it, and I bought this iPod from Wal-Mart, not an Apple store.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
P.S. If I downgrade my iTunes to 9.2, can I restore my iPod touch's firmware back to 3.1.3? Just wondering. Thanks.

Thanks, you guys, for replying! I was getting scared.
Really? You're kidding... I don't want to replace the screen. DD: I mean, it's happened to me before. I hope it'll go away in the next update because I swear, it was working fine before this. I didn't know my iPod had a hardware issue either. {sigh}
SpyglassSally: "If you've done a restore, and the touch screen is still not responding correctly, I think you need to bring it in to an Apple store or check out Service and Repair Online. The link can tell you your warranty info, regardless of where you purchased it. Your warranty is from Apple.
Hope that answers your question."
I don't know if they warranty still applies. I'm pretty sure it's been a year since I first got it. Thanks, though.
Thanks for giving me this information, though. I appreciate it.

IPod touch 4G battery issue with iOs5...battery goes dry in less than a day after upgrading to iOs 5...why is that?

hi people out there...!
I have an iPod Touch 4G purchased on november 2010, and since then until two days ago, I had iOs 4.3.x and everything went very good about battery charge...I used to have my iPod on standby mode for several days, and never had a trouble with it...
but two days ago, I upgraded to iOs 5, and then and there, the troubles began...my battery lasts no more than a day, even on standby mode...
NO wifi on, NO bluetooth on, no movies watched, no games played, just using Virtuoso Piano free app for minutes...
is the new iOs 5 having trouble about managing battery?
anyone of you have same trouble?
anyone of you know about a solution?
I was searching on the web about this issue, and several comments I've found out, but I would like to know about it from the Apple themselves...
thanks for your time people...Light to all of us...!!!

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter..
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
I'm not saying that you don't have a problem. However, I am saying that we don't know.

IPod Touch Music Syncing Issue

Using iTunes 10.7, I'm trying to add music to my 4G iPod touch running 6.1.2. The files appear within the iPod sidebar Music tab, greyed out with the sync icon next to them but they never finish copying; they just stay grey and nothing happens. I am able to select and delete them, and they remain after I unplug and plug back in, but the iPod never shows anything in Music. When I add files manually, the sync icon replaces the sidebar eject icon, during which time it is able to create playlists in the sidebar, but then the sync ends immediately and the iTunes status bar never displays the copying process, just the Apple logo. Same thing happens whether I add 1 file or 100 files. Same thing happens whether I sync music automatically or manually (I have switched between the two methods several times). I have tried adding new files and different file formats to my iTunes library; those ones don't work either. I have also tried restoring from the iPod backup, and resetting the iPod entirely, but I still get the same result. Additionally, I am able to manage Apps as usual.
Anybody have any ideas? As a last resort, I may try re-installing iTunes 10.7, but I would prefer to find a fix for this without upgrading iTunes to 11 or 12.

I had already tried that and I got the same problem. I did get the issue resolved, although I don't know the reason it was acting up. What I did was upgrade iTunes to iTunes 11, update the iPod to 6.1.6, then downgrade back to iTunes 10.7

Ipod touch g2 wifi issue

Hi All,
just got my new 2nd generation ipod touch yesterday, it's running on the newest version (2.1). But now i'm encountering problems when contacting to the network.
At home it wouldn't work at all, when connecting it always says "could not connect to ..." where .. is the name of the hotspot. I have a first generation ipod touch which has no problems to connect to the hotspot at all.
At work I am able to connect just fine...
I read in another forum that there was a similar issue with version 2.0.. but it seems that this was resolved.
Anyone out there with some clues about this?

You could also try resetting your network settings.
I also have a IPT 2G, and cannot connect to our WiFi. But I've given up because on my IPT 1G I couldn't connect either and it's too much of a headache to try and make it work so I've gone without internet since I got the new one. :/
Good luck!
