ITunes 7 does recognize 30gb 5th gen and will not update to 1.2

Upgraded to iTunes 7, program no longer recognizes 30GB 5th gen. Windows does pick it up. So, I plug it in, explorer window for removeable drive appears, iTunes does not launch. With iTunes open, explorer window opens and there is no effect in iTunes.
By restarting the Windows iPod service, plugging in the iPod and launching iTunes manually I am able to sync the library. At this point I am prompted to update iPod to software version 1.2. If I choose to, iTunes seems to begin the updating process, but within 10 seconds the iPod becomes safe to disconnect and is effectively ejected from iTunes. The progress bar indicating the software update continues indefinitely (I have let it run for over an hour like this, nothing actually happens.)
I reverted back to iTunes 6.x and all issues ceased. However I would like to be able to use version 7 and update to the newest iPod software 1.2. I have tried everything else in the "iPod recognized by Windows but not iTunes topic" and nothing seems to get me anywhere.
There has been no loss of functionality of the iPod, the only issues are with iTunes recognizing it.
I am kind of at a loss here.

OK, I've had a similar problem and spent a few weeks banging my head off my desk in frustration. The iTunes 7 "upgrade" effectively made anything connected to my USB 2 ports unrecognized by Windows. After a lot of forum searching, following all relavent Apple help articles and such, I was no further along. I finally got up and running again, but I have to use iTunes 6, which means I cannot upgrade the iPod software. I'm waiting for a few updates down the road before I upgrade again. Be sure to create a system restore point before trying to upgrade again! I can't stress this enough! Anyway, to see the steps I went through to eventually solve my problem (and hopefully yours) go here:

It's my opinion that with a lot of users, iTunes 7 corrupts the windows registry somehow... C'mon, Apple, fix this buggy piece of crap already! As it stands, the only reason I use it is for my iPod, otherwise I rip, burn, organise, and tag with Musicmatch... no worries so far with that...

    Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue.  I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
    The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
    And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
    Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone.  In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

  • When Firefox opens my MSN homepage is out of date and will not update

    When Firefox (v 4) opens my homepage is out of date and will not update to the current date even when reloaded

    I'd recommend you delete the URL to your homepage which is causing the problem via Tools | Options | General and then go to the MSN homepage again and click the button "Use Current Page".
    MSN may have changed the coding in the URL which is causing Firefox to load an outdated page with your current settings.

    The APP update request came for 4 apps.  I submitted update all, but the system is stuck and will not update. Further, I cannot use those apps.  How do I fix this?

    Two other things to try -
    Power your iPad off for a minute and then back on again.
    Double tap the Home button, locate the updating apps (one by one) in the bottom task bar, press on it until the red minus sign comes up and click it. Repeat for the remaining apps. Try the updates again but do them one by one rather than Update All.

    Have you tried deleting the waiting apps and then re downloading? I used to get it all the time on my phone in iOS 7.

  • My 5th gen nano will not sync win 7 .says connected but not show in itunes. driver is updated ,working properly ....help

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

  • Cannot get Dell laptop to recognize 30GB 5th gen. Ipod in any way!

    I've followed all of the steps on both Apple and Dell's websites that could supposedly be the cause of this problem and have not had any success! I think it may be a matter of installing an outside driver, but I'm not sure I know what to do once the proper driver is installed. When i open the "add hardware wizard" The current status of the Ipod is "The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)" Any help at all would be greatly appreciated-thanks in advance!

    hi mols!
    hmmmm. the iPod uses the standard Windows USB mass storage drivers, so we're not looking for drivers from an external source.
    we had success with a code 28 recently using the techniques from this MarkJones post:

  • 5th gen iPod will not unmount

    I have a 5th gen iPod which I use to backup other data files. The iPod setting within iTunes allow for desktop mounting of the iPod. When I attempt to unmount the iPod from the desktop (with iTunes closed) and only the finder (and dashboard) running, I get a message indicating that the iPod cannot be unmounted because it contains files that are still in use. As mentioned above, the only applications running are the Dashboard and Finder. I do have one widget that displayes hard disk usage information, and I have used the Activity Monitor to quit the process just before attempting to unmount the iPod but the unmount status does not change. Is there something else that I should be disabling before attempting to unmount the iPod?
    Power Mac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iPod 5th gen, iPod nano

    I can't really explain why but sometimes it happens, to mine too, normally if you try unmounting again it should unmount, if not, the next time you have your iPod mounted on your desktop, do a Repair Permission from Disk Utility (Repair Permission on your main HD, not your iPod)
    After that restart again, your problem should go away.
    Cheers

  • 5th Gen Ipod will not disconnect

    I am having trouble getting my IPOD 60GB to disconnet from iTunes.
    I use the eject button and on ITunes it looks as if it has disconnected, but on IPOD I get the do not disconnect message. This only goes away when I power off my PC.
    Can anyone give me any help to fix
    Thanks

    You might have some software on your computer (usually security software) that is causing some interference with the iPod.
    See if any of these other methods allow you to disconnect the iPod:

  • How to reload itunes, itunes thinks I have it loaded and will not reload

    I need to reload Itunes on a windows 7 computer.  I have deleted the progam and any other files I can find to delete associated with itunes, must be something left because itunes will not reload because it thinks it is already loaded.
    What do I need to delet that is not obvious.

    Well I only recently started with win 8 but I have also seen a few messages warning of concern about files I had downloaded but the dl was permitted but when i tried to execute the setup there was an option to go ahead with the install or abort, so I did and all is well. My thoughts are as long as you trust the origin of the download, and I think you can trust apple.

  • ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

    Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

    I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:
