IPod wont work after update! iTunes wont see it! Help???!!!

Hi
After updating the updater my iPod is no longer recognised by itunes. When i plug my ipod in it says do not disconnect and is recognised by the computer, but not itunes. The updater window comes up saying i need to update but it will only give me the option to restore. I have done this. I have tried resetting also, but this doesn't work. I have uninstalled the updater, and reinstalled it. The problem persists. It comes up with an error when i do have the option to update. Now my ipod, when turned on, display the little apple sign, and then the folder with the exclamation, and shortly turns itself off. It has no songs on it now. I've only had it about 8 months so it should still be covered under the warranty, but ideally i would like to solve this problem without sending it off.
Did you work out how to sort out yours? Or can anyone help me with mine!
Please!!!

"Did you work out how to sort out yours?"
Did who sort out theirs?!
What is the error message you refer to when you tried to update it.
If you've seen this and it doesn't help then it may need service.
Folder and !.
There is something you can try. If your iPod is recognized in 'my computer' you can try formatting the iPod through Windows, then you would need to reformat it using the iPod updater. This proceedure isn't normal, but can be used in extreme troubleshooting circumstances.

Home Sharing no longer working after updating iTunes

After updating iTunes on both my computers to version 10.7, the home sharing feature is now not working. One computer can see and access the other's library but the other cannot see its. I have checked the sharing preferences on both computers. Both have 'Share my library on my local network' and 'Share entire library' checked and neither are set to require a password. I have turned on home sharing from the 'Advanced' sub menu in the menu bar and both use the same Apple ID.
Any thoughts on how I can fix this. I think it is just a bug and should hopefully get fixed but maybe it's just me.

I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
Apple help people were GREAT!

Iphoto wont work after updating to mountain lion

I updated to mountain lion now my iphoto wont work. I tried updating but couldnt find iphoto 9.0 they said I needed. I downloaded and installed iphoto 9.4.2 and it still won't work. It says: your photo library is either in use or has become unreadable. Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this quit iPhoto and then reopen while keeping the option and command keys pressed.
I did that and it still gives me the same message when I try to open.

Try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library â Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

5g 30gig iPod not working after update, Please Help!

I have a 5th gen 30gig iPod and a yesterday I tried to update it. During the update after it shut itself off and started back up the updater froze around 20%. After about two hours of waiting I forced the updater to quit (restarted it with menu/select) and then tried to turn it back on to no avail. So right now the iPod is dead.
I've tried the whole hold menu/select to reset (even for up to a min) then I did the flip hold on and off and try again method. I also tried with the iPod plugged into my PC and my Mac. I also tried using the AC adapter. All attempts resulted in failure. Because it stopped working after the update I'm confident that it isn't the battery or that the iPod is physically damaged and that this is just a software issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and therefore have no warranty for it.

I am having the same exact problem as you, it just won't boot up. The apple logo lights up on the screen for a little while and tried to boot up, then the screen goes black, and it starts over, the ipod trying,(and failing)to boot up. This goes on like this until the battery is dead. I'll repost if I figure out how to fix this.

Can't get Home Sharing to work after updating iTunes to 11.1.5

I just updated iTunes to 11.1.5 and can no longer access Home Sharing on my other devices such as iPhone and Apple TV (3rd Gen). I have gone through the trouble shooting guidelines. My network is fine. I can access the iTunes store from both devices. I have rebooted iTunes and apps and Apple TV. Have turned Sharing off and on. I have checked settings on the phone. Nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?

Did you restart your router? Did you check Firewall settings?

Why doesn't Wifi Sync work after updating ITUNE?

Hello, I updated my Itune to 11.1.4.62 version.
After updating, WIFI sync doesn't work anymore. I have to connect the cable to my laptop to sync it. Before this upgrade it was working fine.
Now, I have Iphone 5. I run Windows 7.
I did all the recommended trouble shooting.
I disconnected the model and router and reconnected again.
On Summary page the Wifi Sync is CHECKED
I ran the diagnostic, but obviously it says iphone is not detected.
I reseted my iphone.
It still doesn't work.
How can I solve this matter and why does Apple have so many irrtating problems like this?

The passcode screen shows as usual but when I enter the passcode it says the passcode is invalid. This is the same passcode I have had for over a year, so I am sure I entered it correctly. I stopped trying before the phone was disabled though.
I've seen other similar posts but they mostly say connect it to my computer, start itunes, then restore. I haven't synced with itunes in a long time, not sure restoring it would be a good idea. I back up to iCloud much more frequently but can't remember for sure when I last did that either. I'm afraid of losing stuff in the process of restoring it.

Iphone not syncing after updating itunes 10.5. pls help

Hi apologies but I am new to all this stuff. I updated itunes to version 10.5 and I think my iphone 4 was synced in during this. After itunes had updated I found that my iphone wasnt synced in any longer. I pulled out connecter and re connected but still nothing. Rang apple tech support (on hold for an hour in cue). They tried couple of things and then advised to uninstall itunes then reinstall. I have done that but still not recognising iphone. I can sync to my other apple computer but if I try and upgrade to iOS5 on that it says I need to go to the normal computer it is synced with or I'll lose some apps etc. I dont think my iphone has the latest iOS 5 on it yet. Can anyone pls help? Apple support now closed :-( thanks

I am also in the same boat.
Windows 7 on Alienware laptop - no problems at all until upgrade of iTunes client to 10.5.
After the upgrade, attempts to sync my iPhone 4 hang at "Step 1 of 4: Backing up Rob's iPhone" (for over 12 hours)
I have read hundreds of documents with various solutions.
1) Delete backup file from C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
2) Stop stuck MDCrashReport and AppleMobileBackup processes
3) Reinstall iTunes
It all FAILS. I work in IT and can assure you that nothing changed but whatever was changed by the iTunes application as it was upgraded to 10.5. This 2 day extravaganza is ridiculously frustrating and creating a rabid anti-apple sentiment in my house. Why the F would you (Apple) release something that is mandatory for me to use with my iPhone and have it be this buggy P.O.S.? (Rhetorical - no need to answer, please just fix this problem so I can sync and backup my phone).

Flash Player not working after updating to 10.2 - Plz help - my research project is on hold now

I updated my flash to latest version.. Everything gone.. Flash is completly not working now. I cannout see any youtube videos or any flash websites.
I tried all the way possible to troubleshoot it. But failed. Still not working.
My OS - Windows 7 - 32bit
IE - 9 (latested) 32bit
Flash Vesrion - 10.2 (Latest)
I tried all the ways mentioned in this case: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3145974
I have even removed teh compatible flag - such that to remove kill-bit, Still dint work.
I see that eventhough i install in my IE manage addons i dont find any flash player or shock player to enable or to disable. .its completly not there.. Its very strange.
I am using kasperky Pure. I could not figure out is there any option in kaspersky pure to disable ads block/popup.?
Please help. I am not able to understand what is the problem.
I have even noted some times automatically the flsh sites and youtube gets working after some reboot. But if i reboot again same problem.
I have tried installing and uninstalling several times. Even rebooted. But nothing works.
Please not i am not gettting any flash player addon options in my IE but i get the add on option in my Firefox which shows enabled. But still I have a doubt - what exact name of add on would be in FF. even in google chromes its not working. It says it has inbuilt Flash player.
Please help me to rectify it. My research project is getting pending with this issue. Please help me to rectify it as soon as possible. Please.

I am using Windows 7 - 32 bit. and the IE - 32bit.
I have tried all the uninstalling and installing procedure. But it did not work for me.
In my first post I had told that i was not getting any Addon in my IE. then i figured out when i click show all add-ons, then i see a shock player addon in my IE of the lastest verion 10.2. So please negelct that fact . I have an addon too in my IE 9
But nothing works.
When I go to the link you have provided. : http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Please note: (all the below browsers are very latest versions)
In chrome - See nothing (place is white)
In IE 9 - See nothing (place is white)
FF - See nothing (place is white)
when i right click on that place i get only 2 options:
1. Movie not loaded....
2. About Adobe Plash Player 10.2.152.26...
Even when i open the youtube. the video portions are blank. n when i right click on it shows the above same 2 options.
Kill-bit - when i checked it, i had a Compatible flag - but its values where all zeros. Still i deleted it. (So i do not think that was an issue)

I have even checked everthing is fine in my Internet options- Security tab
1. Internet -
Security level for this zone - Medium-high (Custom level - Scripting=enabled)
2. Local Intranet -
Security level for this zone - Medium-low (Custom level - Scripting=enabled)
3. Trusted sites -
Security level for this zone - Medium (Custom level - Scripting=enabled)
Furthere - Uninstall programme shows as follows : (Kindly have a look)
Further - My knowledge - I do not have any adblock or adblock plus. I only suspect if Kaspersky Pure, if it has an option to block it. (I am not aware of it).
Further - In my Chrome Plugin i see like this : I have a doubt here- Why i have 2 shockwave flash versions?
I even tried disabling them one at each time alternatively and tried if youtube works - still same problem.
I am suspecting might be quick time could have generated this problem. i had recently updated the quicktime. But when i checked in the help forum I got to know that quick time can cause problem, so i completly uninstalled it now. I do not have quick time in my system - but still the probelm was same.
Please help.

Flash player not working after updating to 11.5. Help please!

Hi,
I am having problems running Flash player, I am NO expert whatsoever but I will do my best to describe. After updating to Flash 11.5 all applications using Flash including Youtube, Google Streetview etc stopped working. Youtube simply said "an error has occurred" the rest of the applications just didn't load and left me with a blank area of screen where the app/video etc would be. Have tried the usual removal and re-installing and re-installing older versions. The closest thing that has worked has been to re-install the even older version 10.3, which allows Youtube to work but all other applications request I update first, which of course leaves me back at square one.
Could anyone please shed some light on this for me? Could it be a known problem? I've quickly exhausted my limited knowledge!
Thankyou!

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating system
Browser
Flash Player version
Thanks,
Chris

My iphone 5c wont work after update from ios 7 to ios 8, is on recovery mode but my itunes wont find my device to restore it

I update my iphone 5c ios 7.1.2 (i think) to ios 8.0.2, however when it was intalling it suddently stppoed and my iphone only displayed the itunes icon with the cable plug in in the screen. I searched all over the internet for the solution and it says to turn the device into recovery mode and plug it to itunes so it can restore with ios 8 on it, however my itunes doesnt find my device in any way, i tried updating my itunes my windows everything, but still doesnt work, help please!!

If your phone is in recovery mode, all data on it are gone. Certainly before performing a software update, you backed up your data and imported your important photos onto your computer, right?

Itunes wont work after update

My Itunes has stopped working, every time i try to open itunes or quicktime it says "itunes/quicktime has stopped working" ive tried reinstalling, downloading older versions and a dozen other supposed fixes, absolutely nothing works. Ive got no error codes no nothing. Ive checked my firewall itunes, quicktime and bonjour are all allowed through. I cant figure it out.

LA Jerry, here are the Apple support numbers, I found them in a previous post by forum regular Dave Sawyer.
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
iTunes is a free program and you are going to have to pay for support unless you've purchased some Apple hardware. They don't provide free support for Windows systems that they haven't sold.
I suggest looking at this article before trying to call & pay for support:
