Ipods and phones not opening in itunes
I have 2 ipod shuffles, 1 iphone 4s, 1 iphone 5 which do not appear as a device in itunes. They all appear as an icon on the desktop but do not have the ability to work within itunes. This is new as i have not had this problem in the past. Any suggestions?
Nevermind, i figured it out.
Thanks.

IPod and iPhone4 not connecting to iTunes?
When I connect either my iPod Touch (1st Gen) or iPhone4 iTunes does not recognize it as a device and my computer thinks they are both just cameras. I just recently installed iTunes 10 and this whole problem started at that time. I've tried repairing iTunes but nothing happens. The only thing I can think of doing would be uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes once again. Is there a way to change the settings instead of reinstalling so both come up on iTunes?
Figured out the problem - the USB cable I was using would charge but not connect for some reason. Borrowed an official one from a friend and it connected without a problem. The one I got was from Belkin - I'm surprised it didn't work. Maybe it was just damaged, who knows. Anyway, sorry for the trouble and feel free to delete this topic. Although, the Apple help page for troubleshooting connectivity issues should mention using a different USB cable.

My computer is not reading my ipod and its not showing in itunes
my computer is not reading my ipod and it does not appear in itunes
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What shows on the iPod's display when it is connected? Does it still charge?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

The Ipod shows up in Itunes as "Window's Ipod" but won't let me manually sync through devices or restore. I can't seem to click on the "window's Ipod box to cjange it back to "my Ipod" either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes and used different USB ports and still no change.

I just got a new Ipod and had to update my itunes. Now my itunes will not open. I have a MacBook 4,1 with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Should take but a minute & the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box.
If you're gonna use the phone on the same computer your son uses, read through this:

I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
Thank You
T-BILLHmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

Itunes has stopped working and will not open
itunes stopped working for unknown reason and would not open. after several tries I used system restore taking it back to an earlier date. when that failed to work, I uninstalled and downloaded new version, several times. still would not open and I am pretty sure I lost my library which is frustrating because I use it for work. completely confused about what to do next. I am running windows 7.
Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
