Ipod won't mount on my computer, wait... it mounted on another

Ok, I couldnt connect my ipod to my computer via usb 2.0 and all the other usb's i have. And It gets me to the "Found new hardware" screen. I go through the steps and it doesnt install the software.
But when I try it on another computer it doesnt give me the "found new hardware" screen, but the bottom right (taskbar) says it found new drives, gives me 1 by 1 what they are. Then says its installed.
Can anybody help me?

I've had my 120GB iPod since Christmas and it just happened to me now. I put it into my friend's iPod dock because she was complaining it wasn't working, and I wanted to see if it would work for other iPods. My iPod showed the charging screen, then promptly shut off.
Hope this problem gets fixed or recognized soon, I don't want to have to switch to CDs in my car again!

Ipod won't connect to the computer at all.

My 3rd Generation iPod nano won't connect to the computer at all. Therefore it has no battery for me too be able to reset or try to do anything with it.
I've only been advised to make sure that i have the most recent version of iTunes?
Could anyone help please?
Thanks, Hollie.

Try uninstalling the drivers,
Plug in your iPod
Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
that will bring you to the Computer Management
On the left hand side click on device manager
on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
right click and select uninstall
Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
Windows should automatically start installing them again
if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
and choose scan for hardware changes
If that doesn't work
Go back into Computer Management
Click on Disk Management on the right
and on the left it should say your iPod
Right click and go into change drive letter and paths
click on the change button
Change it to something like N or M
Click ok, you will get a message saying "changing the drive letter may cause the program to no longer run are you sure you want to change this drive letter"
click ok
then restart your computer

IPod Won't Connect to PC Computer

I have had some issues I wasn't able to fix concerning my iPod Classic and my PC computer. Until recently, my iPod 120G Classic would not connect to my computer. I have downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, I've tried resetting it, and I've restarted my computer a couple times. I cannot restore it cause it won't connect to my computer. I've tried Disk Mode as well as changing USB ports. This didn't work. What happens is that it says USB not readable or something similar to that on the connection for half a second than disappears. This has been occuring ever since I synced a movie to my Classic. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

IPod Won't Synch on New Computer

I just moved over to a new computer. Now when I try to synch my iPod with iTunes I get the following message "Attempting to copy to the disk "XXX iPod" failed. The disk is locked and cannot be written to." Is this because the iPod is not recognizing the new computer as its "home computer?" Do I need to restore the factory settings in order for the iPod to recognize the new computer as its "home computer?" Will this then allow the iPod to automatically synch again every time I connect the iPod? Any help would really be appreciated!

Hi hey how were able to put it on a new computer because that is what I am trying to do and cant get any help from apple because my warranty has expired..maybe together we can figure this out..thanks Vickie

3G iPod won't recognize on new computer

I own a third generation iPod classic, and I recently got a "new" (as in, new to me, new system 10.4.11, 2001 hardware) powerbook computer. My iPod will not load onto the computer; when I have tried to connect it, after a long while a box opens saying simply that the device is not formatted for this drive. When given the option to format, I decline, as it would erase all my music. At the moment, I cannot connect my iPod to computer at all! I'm wondering if there are any downloads/drivers/other versions of iTunes I can find that will allow me to connect to my iPod. I do believe this should be possible if I can only figure out how... I know the iPod has old software, but it did connect on my last powerbook, with only a minimally older version of iTunes. Please advise?

IPod won't plug in with computer that has iPad as the account

I have an iPad and an iPod and I have an account with the iPod in an old computer that doesn't work anymore so when I tried plugging the iPod in the other computer that has an account with my iPad nothing pops up or anything. I want to be able to plug it in and have the account there or at least get my music on their. Is there anything I can try?
Please help!

(Yes, I tried connecting the iPod in disk mode and the computer still crashed on me.)
I am glad to say that my computer finally complies with my iPod, and it is able to show in iTunes and in My Computer. I am not glad to say that I "accidentally" did a system recovery on my computer..I tried to do a System Restore to a previous restore point in my XP, but that didn't work well. I tried a System Recovery, but I didn't expect the System Recovery to be different. Apparently, it restored the computer to its factory settings and I've lost basically everything. :-\ My problem probably stemmed from something I downloaded; I'm not sure what it was unfortunately, but everything's resolved. Sort of.
I guess I answered my own question here..:P

IPod won't connect to iTunes/Computer

Soo I plug my iPod into the cord which is plugged into the computer, the computer makes the little beep that lets me know its detected a device and... Nothing. It doesn't show up in iTunes. It doesn't show the little charging symbol on the iPod. Nothing.
I've tried two different cords and three different USB ports. The annoying thing is it worked two days ago, and had been working prior to that for several months. Nothing has happened to the iPod or computer that would cause damage. They've both literally been sitting in this room for two days. I can plug my iPod into the wall charger and it will charge just fine. It can connect to the internet, etc. But it won't connect itself to iTunes via the USB cable... and I'm unsure of what to do next. I've googled around and checked the forums but I haven't found anything that works.
Assistance :3
Also, I can't download iOS 6.1.2, it just fails everytime after the verification process. I've never failed verification before so I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue or just me... The error I guess you would call it says "Software Update is not available at this time. Try again later."

IPod won't connect to my computer and constantly presents an error message

My iPod has started acting really bizarrely recently. It constantly displays the folder with the exclaimation mark. (I've been to the apple site, their suggestions don't resolve this issue). Whenever I plug it into my pc, it shows up as an external hdd in my computer (but not named as "stu's iPod" like it usuaully is), but won't let me open it. On attempting to open it as an external hdd, my pc says the drive needs formatted (but won't let me format it, I get an error message if i try). Whenever I connect to the computer, the iPod automatically goes into disk mode, even though I haven't put it into disk mode. I have downloaded the software updater but it just sticks on "initializing" then crashes (the window containing the iPod updater goes completely white). I'm at my wits end with this and any help to resolve it would be much appreciated, thanks.

similarly, my iPod had acted like that for a while. instead of the folder, it displays the "unhappy ipod" symbol, but if left on a charger for an extended period of time, it will return to normal function. after a few power up/power downs, it either will not boot correctly, or after booting, will not play the desired song (it just attempts to open it, fails, and tries the next song). it seems to come back to normal function faster if left connected to my laptop, as opposed to the wall unit or my car adapter. also, i opened the special menu (holding the center button and rewind/previous track button for a few seconds) and ran a harddrive scan. it returned the code "11ror!" is that a good or bad sign? i've only owned the ipod photo (4th gen, 30 gig) since june/july of this year, so it should still be covered by warranty...

Help Ipod won't work with my computer anymore!

I have a 5th gen Ipod and it has been working fine for the first month I've had it but recently I can't seem to get it to work with Itunes or even be detected on my computer. I've already tried all the things it says to do on the support page and none of it seems to be working. I've reinstalled everything and tried the Ipod updater but it won't work. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what should I do? Is there any way I can just get a new Ipod since I've only had this one for a month?

New iPod won't connect to a computer installed w/ old iPod

I just purchased a new 2nd gen. iPod nano to replace my 2 year old iPod mini. My laptop recognizes my mini fine, but won't even detect my new nano. Why is this? I saw in the other topic that a BIOS update would do the trick, but I updated and the computer still won't recognize. What can I do?
Thanks for your help
Dani

This could be caused by Windows drive letter confusion on your computer. Have you tried assigning your Mini a different drive letter?
Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode, and follow these steps:
1 - Don't plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect your iPod to the computer.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
If that fails to get your new nano recognized by your computer, try the steps and suggestions in these links below:
iPod missing in My Computer or in iTunes
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod
iPod not recognzied on a laptop through USB connection
Also, this possibility: Fast user switching on a Windows computer is not supported for iPods
I hope that helps you.
