  • My iPod touch does not show up in My computer or in itunes. Windows 8

    I recently bought a Windows 8 computer, when i tried connecting my Ipod touch the sound went off on the ipod saying it was connected but no message saying to sync. On the computer nothing was shown saying anything had connected. I have tried re-installing itunes as well as running it in a windows 7 compatibilty.

    Did you do everything here:

  • IPod Touch is not showing up in My Computer

    I realize that there are several other topics that talk about this problem, but so far none have really helped me. My goal is to have my iPod Touch be recognized as a camera so I can upload all my photos from my Saved Photos to my computer and finally clear up some much needed space on it. Please don't refer me to software that will allow me to move photos from my iTouch to my PC because either they are all only trial versions or they don't allow me to access the images from my Saved Photos album.
    Currently my iPod Touch does not show up in My Computer. I'm running Windows XP. Checking my Device Manager for the driver, the only driver that comes up that relates to my iPod is called Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling that driver (and one I was able to get the iPod to show up in My Computer as a camera but when I clicked on it, it said that there were no pictures in the device [and I clearly do], and after uninstalling the driver again and reinstalling it the icon went away). I've read that maybe uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling it might fix my problem, but I'm weary to uninstall it for fear that I might loose all my applications that I've synced into iTunes as well as my purchases and all the movies and things I've downloaded.
    If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or further questions about my problem, PLEASE say so because this is very urgent and I need all the help I can get.

    Also, I forgot to add that my iTouch is a 1st Gen I believe (I'm sorry, I got it for a Christmas gift, but I'm pretty sure it's a 1st Gen).

    Start here.  Is ti normal and expected for the computer to also see the iPod as a comera since that is how you get saved photos from the iPod to the computer.

    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • I downloaded 7.0 and it does not show up on my computer

    i downloaded 7.0 and it does not show up on my computer. How do I get the music files to show up?

    A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)

    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:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    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.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Hey there, i got the same Problem with my MacBook Pro (Mavericks 10.9.4) and two iPhone´s 5 with the iPad 2 and the iPad Air, (all with iOS 7.1.2) since 2months. SOLUTION???
    Since the change of Snow Leopard on Mavericks, the entire system of the MacBook is much slower. This is already noticeable at the beginning (start the MacBook Pro). It runs through the entire software. z.Bsp. Open Safari / Outlook, iTunes and more. for about 2months absolutely no back-up of my devices is possible!!
    Every time when you connect the hardware (iPhone 5 / iPad 2 / iPad Air) iTunes stops responding and needs to close above EXIT NOW!! No back-up's my hardware (see above) possible!!!
    but iPhoto is running with the devices and at least I can transfer the images.

  • Why did ps touch does not show saved project and my old project disappear?

    Why did ps touch (ipad 4) does not show saved project and my old project disappear?

    OldGhias,
    Have you found a solution yet? I don’t know if I will be of any help but I was curious and no one else has chimed in yet.
    I don’t quite understand all of your statement.
    To clarify, you were making SimpleSave backups from Win95 and cannot see them all on the Win7 laptop?
    Or
    You were copying files over (SimpleSave utility not used) and you cannot see those files on Win7 but you can on the Win95 machine?
    Do you have another Win7 machine you could connect the external to, to see if the files are still not showing (one that is not locked for work)?
    On the drive that shows full, can you see it in Disk Management showing the correct size of the drive and also another CD drive? Not your real CD/DVD drive, it’s actually a CD emulator that is attached to the HDD for encrypting the backups and all SimpleSave’s have them.
    Lastly, did you reformat the SimpleSave drive to Fat32 first?
    My understanding is that USB support was quite limited on Win95 machines. Since Win95 is Fat32 and the SimpleSave drive is by default NTFS, I would think it would not work.

  • My iPod Touch does not show on itunes

    When I plug in my iTouch to the computer and open iTunes, the device does not show on iTunes. I tried restarting the computer and reconnect the usb drive, but it still does not show. The device is recognized on My Computer so I think something is wrong with iTunes.
