Ipod wont show up - have to reinstall itunes to get it working

I've had to reinstall iTunes several times in order for it to recognize my iPod (30GB 2006 vintage).
I am running win xp, SP 2.xx. One possible conflict is I have 2 other iPods, a shuffle and a nano that also fail to show up regularly when I attach them via USB to my computer.
Any clue what is happening? Turst me, I've followed the recommended iTunes support instructions by the letter and it is still not working.
Thanks!

i have tht same problem

  • Ipod wont show up in windows or itunes

    Just bought a 30gig vid. ipod and installed latest version of itunes. I tried to transfer songs but I can't even do that because my ipod, even though connected via USB cable, won't show up in "My Computer" or on itunes. I tried to reinstall itunes but it said can't stop ipod services. Same thing happened when I tried to repair it and restarting the comp doesn't help.
    PS It lets me charge when plugged in my usb which is not a 2.0
    Any suggestions?

    yea, i installed latest version of itunes, but even if i wanted to, my comp won't let me repair or uninstall itunes via control panel nor using the setup.exe (it says that ipod services cannot be stopped) i tried to stop the services manually but it didn't work either.

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

  • Ipod wont show through MyComputer or Itunes

    Hi all,
    My Ipod wont show on my work computer but displays on every other PC!
    It comes up with the 'Safely Remove Hardware' Icon but doesn't display anywhere else in windows. I have restarted the Ipod Service but when Itunes opens, it says the Ipod needs to be restored, but not on any other PC, it works perfectly.
    Any ideas? I am running the latest versions of Itunes and the Ipod software is up to date!

  • My itunes account shuts down for no reason.  It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason.  If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down.   It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

    My ipod touch 5th gen will not connect to itunes, but my computer registers my ipod. i have tried placing my ipod in recovery mode, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, and restarted my laptop but my ipod will not connect to my itunes..... help ._.

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Another iPod Mini showing in XP but not iTunes.

    I think the subject pretty much says it all.
    Up until this week, my Ipod was connecting into iTunes without problem, then all of a sudden it is being picked up by windows but iTunes doesn't see anything, nor does the auto updater. (At least I can keep it charged with the music I already have on it)
    Have tried reinstalling itunes, resetting the ipod and upgrading to itunes v6, none of which have actually helped.
    Have been going through the discussions since it happened trying to find a solution, and so far nothing, and more advice from the community or Apple itself would be greatly appreciated.

    Stompie, you might want to consider reinstalling something called Apple Mobile Device Support, which is what allows the iPod touch and iPhone to communicate with the computer. Part of what makes the iPod touch be recognized as a camera only is a malfunctioning AMDS.
    Go to your Applications folder
    Drag iTunes.app to the Trash
    Navigate to: Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/
    Drag AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg to the trash
    Navigate to: Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions/
    Drag AppleMobileDevice.kext to the trash
    Restart the Mac
    Empty the Trash
    Download & install from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Reinstalling iTunes won't change any of your preferences or library media, so you don't have to worry about losing your music or any of its data, although a good backup is always a good idea.
    Hope this is helpful

  • Have to reinstall iTunes each time I want to sync

    So I upgraded all my software and finally got my iPad 2 to sync, but now I have to reinstall iTunes each time I want to sync either my iPad or my iPod. It's not as much of a hardship as some of the folks are having in these discussions but it doesn't seem...well...right. Any suggestions?
