IPod Touch will not show up in Windows XP after iTunes 10.2.1 update

After updating iTunes to 10.2.1 my 4G Touch will not show up in Windows XP to charge or to sync. I have been reading this forum and following the multiple Apple help and troubleshooting steps with no luck. I can get Windows to recognize and charge the Touch as a camera but it will not update the driver for Apple Mobile Device. I have come to the conclusion it is an Apple software problem. Does anyone know where I can get the previous Apple Mobile Device driver for Windows XP? I would like to give that a try. It's really disappointing....

Upon uninstalling and re-installing all of the Apple software nothing has changed. I can see Apple Mobile Device Support in add/remove programs but when clicking on "repair" it cannot finish and says it encountered a fatal error and no changes have been made.
The error I get trying to install the driver in Device Manager says "I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request".
Does anyone have any suggestions?

    It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

    Hey khdewey,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod touch being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    1. Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    2. Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    3. Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    4. Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    5. Restart your Mac.
    Additional Information
    In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes, but after you restart your Mac, the device may not be recognized again. If this happens and you're using Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, please follow these steps.

  • My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?

    My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?
    When i plug it in to my compuer it shows an empty battery with the charge symbol then after a while it shows the apple logo like it is turning on then nothing happens and it goes back to the battery.

    I haven't left it overnight to charge. Is there a difference between letting it charge overnight and an hour or two with no results? The ipod does not even recognize that the cord is attatched.
    I left it on my dresser in my bedroom.

  • My iPod touch will not allow me to connect to the itunes store when i use the internet but it will if i connect through my laptop

    My iPod touch will not allow me to connect to the itunes store via my wireless internet but it will allow me to when connected through my lap top

    I have already looked on that link and it is of no help at all.
    When i first put credit onto my i pod it worked fine then it kept coming up with that message, i went into the apple store today and it worked straight away and when i first tried to download apps at home it worked fine, then it stopped again and came up with the same message. i know its not the internet connection because i can connect ok to the internet on both the i pod and my laptop.

  • My Touch will not show on my desktop or in itunes when connected!

    I installed leopard onto my macbook a few weeks ago and updated my itunes about a week ago. Tonight was the first time I plugged my ipod into my computer. Nothing has happened. I've tried using different USB cords and I've restarted both my computer and ipod touch. I've been trying to do some research on how to fix my problem and all I am finding are people with the same problem but there aren't any answers. I saw one person say to force it in idisk. I don't have idisk. Does anyone know of anything that could help me get my touch on my desktop and computer? Please please help.

    The iPod Touch does not show up as a Device in the Finder. Only as a Device in iTunes.
    Does your version of iTunes support the iPod Touch? Is your Quicktime up to date?

  • Ipod touch will not show up in itunes after update 11.1.14.62

    After updating iTunes to 11.1.14.62 my 3 of my 4 devices will not show up in iTunes.  I have two iPod touch devices, an iPhone 4, and an old iPod Shuffle.  The only one that shows up is the iPod Shuffle.    Everything was fine until this latest update.  I've checked with other people and they're having the same issue.  I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.

  • IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes...Please Help

    Here is what I know/can remember. My iPod has not worked in 3 months! Not sure at what point it stopped but it worked fine for a year. Now when I plug it in it charges just fine just will not show up in iTunes. Sometimes it shows up as an unknown device on my computer and in the hardware device section shows up as unknown device. Thats all I got. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting. I have took each little peice off and then reinstalled numerous times. I have even restored my computer back to square one. Still not working! I want to cry. I just want to listen to my podcasts again. They are downloading into Itunes just can't get the Ipod Touch to show up in iTunes...willing to try anything! Please help if you can! I have a 16GB and use XP with SP3. I assume all my hardware is good to go since it worked before and it charges through the USB port!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    here are some general troubleshooting tips to go through, maybe you missed one suggestion. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 They range from using the assistant up to USB driver installation, Apple Mobile Device Service and checking for available BIOS updates.

  • Ipod touch will not sync fully with windows 7

    i recently installed windows 7 on my laptop and ever since i have had trouble with my ipod touch. everytime i try to sync it to my itunes library it starts to sync and then my ipod dissapars from itunes, as if it's not even connected anymore, then it reappears and says that "the ipod can not be synced, the disk can not be read from or written to". when i look check my music on my ipod only hlf of my songs, videos, and album artwork is on it. does anyone else have this problem or a solution?

    Hello iTouch,
    Try a hard reset of your iPod. Hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons until a red slider appears at the top of the lock screen. Sliding it will power off your iPod. Turn it back on and then try connecting it to iTunes.
    That's actually a soft reset.
    A hard reset requires you to hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    Keep up the good work though.
