ITunes 8 will not recognize iPod or iPhone

I have iTunes 8 running on OSX 10.5.5.
I recently updated to iTunes 8. Since updating, iTunes will no longer recognize my iPhone 3G (8G) or my iPod Video 80G...I've even tried my husband's iPhone.
It's obviously an issue with iTunes.
I've restarted everything in every combination possible.
Is this a common bug that will likely be resolved with the next update, or do I need to go to the Genius bar?
Totally frustrated!

You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:

  • Itunes will not recognize either my iphone or ipad any more since I've downloaded their latest update. I'm working with a Windows 8.1 computer. Can someone help please?

    Itunes will not recognize either my iphone 5 or my ipad since I have downloaded the new Itunes upgrade on my Windows 8.1 system. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and none of that works. Can someone help with this?

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled and none of that works.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    I'd start by looking in system profiler.
    the blue Apple icon > About this Mac > More info...
    goto the hardware section. Scroll down and click on  USB
    See what happens when you have the device plugged in & not plugged in.
    Move keyboard & mouse around to verify that ports work. Plug device in a port that worked with keyboar or mouse.  Keyboard usb ports are rather low power.
    Perhaps device is taking too much power.  Are devices power or unpowered?  Try connecting devices to a usb hub.

    ut when I connect it to my computer, iTunes will not recognize it, and my computer says that it has found new hardware and "Windows needs to install driver software for your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)". However, my computer is not able to find such software as it has never existed in the first place and my iPod usually just shows up perfectly.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Itunes sudenly will not sync Ipod touch

    I had my ipod touch all synced up fine with itunes. I bought an ipad and synced it to the same itunes. I plugged my ipod touch into charge and left it. It automatically opens itunes, no big deal. Well itunes erased everything on my ipod touch and now will not do anything when I plug my ipod in. It doesn't even know it's there. My computer said "does not recognize device in USB port blah blah blah, installing device software." And itunes still doesn't recognize ipod touch. What the **** did that ipad do to my computer???

  • My iTunes content will not sync to my iPhone 4 even though it shows that it is syncing, content is not on the phone.

    Hey there @Robalina Welcome to the community!
    I have a guide that I will post below for you, that should help you connect your printer and Zeen to your wireless network. Follow the steps and you should be wireless in no time!
    If your printer and Zeen are connected to your network, the issue could be the web browser you are using to connect to the sites you wish to visit. You can also try using a different web browser.

  • 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 will not recognize Ipod Touch

    Ok, so I tried to install Itunes 8 when it first released the other day. I received the BSOD, I ended up reverting back to the last known working configuration for windows. So back to Itunes 7.7.1 or whatever. Plugged my Touch in, and it would not recognize at all. I checked in the hardware config and it seemed that the drivers were not installed for the Ipod. I found out about the HP printer fix, and unplugged my HP printer. I installed Itunes 8, works fine now.
    BUT, I plugged my Ipod Touch in, and I get a new hardware wizard, installs the drivers, and asks what I want to do with it, pull pictures off? It's acting like an external drive. Itunes won't recognize it though, no beeps stating it was connected, just won't recognize it is there.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    The first five of those I actually tried. I should check the services menu, and I uninstalled Itunes, but did not restart afterwards. So when I reinstalled, everything was still there. I will try doing that tonight after work.

  • ITunes will not recognize my new iPhone 4

    I just got an iPhone 4 from Best Buy today. Everything has worked fine throughout the day until I tried adding my music on to my phone. I have an iPod Nano that has worked fine with my computer in the past, always synced smoothly when needed. When I try syncing and adding music from my iTunes to my iPhone, iTunes does not recognize my iPhone at all. It does not show up under 'Devices' in iTunes. My 'Computer' (Windows 7) recognizes the iPhone as a device, but nothing in iTunes. I've updated my iPhone software, uninstalled all Apple programs, and reinstalled all of them back on to my computer, with no luck.
