Itunes 8.0 will not recognize ipod on new computer

Got a new computer and downloaded itunes 8.0 and itunes will not recognize my ipod classic. I was able to transfer old songs from old computer to the new one.

OK, that just changed where future music will be added.
You need to go back to the old PC and get the ITL file. Put it either on the new PC or the exHD. Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes and it should "see" all the music on your ex HD.

  • Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

    Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation.  Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled.  I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

    the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

  • ITunes and Windows will not recognize iPod Nano 3rd Generation

    I've been on this ALL day. Neither Windows or iTunes will recognize iPod. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes.... I don't know how many times.
    iPod is new. Was ok to sync music and photos last week.. but now nothing. Any ideas anybody... this is driving me nuts.
    When plugging in iPod - it beeps and then right away says it is ok to disconnect and beeps again... and iPod goes on... and then charges up.
    I was skeptical in buying an iPod for the kids... and now am disappointed. Please somebody... change my mind!!!!

    I've been having a similar issue with my iPod. My iPod will not play songs. Basically, the song or podcast will appear on screen, but is stuck at 0:00 and will not play.
    When I connected my iPod to my computer, it was not recognized by iTunes and it did not appear in My Computer. I checked the Windows Device Manager, and the device did appear there. Strangely enough, the device did appear in My Computer as a removable disk only after I closed out Device Manager. I'm wondering if I need to restore my iPod. How do I do so without iTunes?

  • ITunes song purchases will not transfer to my new computer

    31 of my iTunes song purchases have been refused transfer privileges over to my new MacMini. Doesn't matter if I use my backup or transfer directly from my other computer (iMac running Tiger). The MacMini is authorized and all of my other purchases transferred with no difficulty. The message is 'this computer is not authorized for these, etc, etc. I used IMToo software to copy playlists from my iPhone to the MacMini but those 31 songs would not transfer--same message. Help is appreciated from polite forum users. Many thanks.

    Continuing dilemma...I have discovered that all songs disallowed on my current computer were purchased with 2 old iTunes accounts I no longer use. They are (mylogon)@aol.com and (mylogon)@comcast.net. These songs had all been purchased prior to my previous new computer purchase (a powermac) and there was no issue transferring them over. The problem seems to have occurred because of the move from OS 4x to OS 6x--that is, I had been using Tiger, then jumped up to Snow Leopard. Perhaps my iTunes Library was apparently not as updated as I had thought. I was able to load songs over from both my iPhone and iPod and I believe I have recovered all but 4. The song files are in my system but iTunes won't permit me to play them without logging into the old accounts--which I can't do any which way the message goes. Help? Comments?

  • Itunes 10.5 will not recognize iphone

    Just updated to 10.5 itunes - now it will not recognize my iphone 4.3.5.  Suggestions?

    I am having this problem, but on my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7.  Both my iPhone 5 and my wifes iPhone 5 are not recognized in iTunes.  Both our old iPhone 4S's come up just fine.  Any other work arounds?
    I have reinstalled iTunes, restarted both phones, and Mac.  Still not recognizable.
    EDIT: 
    Just tried the other cable from my iPhone 5 box, and it works fine.  I then tried plugging the faulty cable straight into the wall, and it gets no charge.  Faulty cable.

  • Windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4

    windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4.  iphone does not show up in device list in iTunes

    Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions.  (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words.  In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation.  They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file.  I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked.  Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

  • HT1364 I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer?  what am I doing wrong....thanks

    I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer.....I have a ITUNES account on the new computer and is downloading music just fine but it will not sync to the IPOD....What should I do to sync my IPOD?  thanks

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.

  • HT1420 My songs that I purchased on my itunes account from my dad's computer will not play on my new computer, I have access to my entire account but can only play songs purchased using my new computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Kevin,
    Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
    If not, sign on to iTunes.
    Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
    If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
    Cheers,

  • TRIED EVERYTHING!!! computer will not recognize IPOD and no charging

    Tried changing cords; tried reinstalling all software; tried to determine if conflicting software; ran ipod out of power and my computer still will not recognize when I plug it in. Backlight initially lights up but ipod does not show up in device manager, itunes does not recognize it and ipod will not charge---ipod will charge on Bose speaker platform though....ANY SUGGESTIONS??????

    If none of the above help, then it may be an issue that requires service so why not take advantage of the warranty?
    You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

  • Tbird will not recognize password for new TWC account, which is active. So, cannot set up email

    Trying to set up an existing email account on Tbird. It will not recognize my password. Well, TWC does. Why doesn't Tbird? How do I add this account?

    Thunderbird does not "recognize" and email password. It provides the one you stored in it to the email server when asked for one. It would be the email server rejecting it.
    If you are sure you have the correct password then it might be the format of your username or some other server setting that is incorrect.
    Get a list of server settings from your provider and make sure they are correct in Thunderbird.
    Pay attention to your username format. Some providers want just the username and others want the entire thing including the @provider.com.
