Itunes all of a sudden not recognizing iPod.
I have a iPod Video, I've not had any problems at all syncing and using my Ipod and Itunes. All of a sudden, Itunes won't find the Ipod. When I go to My computer, it shows the iPod connected, so the computer is finding it, but Itunes isn't.
I uninstalled my version of Itunes, and redownloaded Itunes, I am using version 6.0.4.2 I have the latest ipod software download, which according to apple.com is from March of 2006.
Any ideas what is going on, and how I can get Itunes to recognize the Ipod again?Have you seen these?

Windows suddenly not recognizing iPod Shuffle - drive letter conflict
If you're having troubles with your PC not recognizing your Shuffle even though it used to recognize it in the past, this is just something else to consider (sorry if it's already been covered):
When I originally connected my Shuffle to my laptop on my home network, it was recognized immediately, and my WinXP OS assigned it the drive letter "I". Later, with the Shuffle no longer connected to the laptop, I was setting up my home network, and I mapped one of my shared network locations to the "I" drive letter on my laptop. The next time I plugged my Shuffle in, Windows would not recognize it. I proceeded to plug it into both of the other computers on my home network, and it was recognized immediately on both of them. So I then went back to the original laptop, disconnected the network drive mapping I had set up for "I". Once I did that, when I plugged my Shuffle back in, the Shuffle was again being recognized immediately (not surprisingly, still as drive letter "I"). In short, Windows has a memory of drive mappings made in the past, and sometimes this can produce unexpected or unwanted behavior (I would have expected my Shuffle to automatically be assigned the next open drive letter, but alas, that was not the case in my experience).
To minimize the possibility of running into this problem again (in case I do more network drive mapping in the future), I used the Disk Management utility in WinXP to change/force the Shuffle's drive letter on my laptop to be "Z" (right click on My Computer and choose Manage, then look for the Disk Management module - you probably will need Admin rights to do this, but I haven't confirmed that).
PC Windows XP ProHad this happening too, had a very old cable, tried a new cable and it worked great. My ipod was showing up in itunes, but not in windows (or in device manager). When I tried to use the utility to copy files from my ipod to my hard drive I couldn't do it (wonderful utility getsharepod.com). The new cable solved the problem!

Photosmart all in one 7510 not recognized but connected to wireless
I have a NETGEAR Router, WNDR3800. It is a dual band router running both a 5GHz and 2.4GHz network. I have never been able to maintain a working connection to the printer. After I reload the printer onto the known printers for the Mac, if the printer goes idle I am never able to re-establish the printer for use.
The mac and the printer are both connected to the same 2.4GHz network.
The network has WPA2-PSK [AES] security enabled
The network configuration page shows the network status as ready with Bonjour enabled
The Mac has never been able to pick up the printer wirelessly. I have always had to set it up via USB connection to get the Mac and printer to talk to each other. The printer will join the wireless network without the Mac, however, if i complete the process that way then the Mac will never see the printer.
Recenty updated to OS X Mavericks. Printer would not work although shows the status above. Downloaded new drivers for the OS X update. When running the HP utility to set up the printer, it was not recognized on the network. (reverified both were connected to the same 2.4Ghz network). Attempted to connect via USB. When establishing the network configuration for the printer on the HP Utility via the USB cable reveived an error message that stated the following (paraphrased):
Your printer is connected to the network but is not recognized by your Mac check with hp print website help (essentially)
I have reset the router and re-tried the above process. No difference
I have reloaded all the software and restarted the mac and printer. No difference.
I have manual assigned the IP Address for the printer and reserved the address on the router. Re-attempted to connected wirelessly and via usb. No difference.
I am at a loss as to what I can do next. Not sure if it a router issue or printer issue but I have no other issues with any equipment on this router both establishing connections to and communicating between several other devices. I would appreciate any help with this issue.Hello dan_man182 and welcome the HP Forums!
I understand you're having an issue printing wirelessly. I can provide help for you.
Follow this document please: 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati...
Another tip I can give you is the security on your router. For some reason the connection may not like the WPA2-PSK [AES] security type. Try changing that to [TKIP] and see if that helps.
Furthermore, if your 5.0Ghz is active, but you are not using it, try disabling the 5.0Ghz frequency altogether. There is a possibility it could interfere somehow.
That is my personal thought on the matter, if you want a full detailed description on router settings you can refer to this: Suggested Router Configurations

have this issue since 10.6 update can't down grade to earlier version... I tunes drag painly slow to open ever after be re-installed several time. Any thought out there?
I had the same problem with my iPhone 4. I use Avast as my virus scanner, and the incoming mail filter in Avast screws with iTunes/iPhone and stops the computer recognising the phone. Disabled the mail filter and the iPhone syncs fine. You should give that a go. Possible that it is the same issue with the iPod too.

My ipod touch is all of a sudden not letting me do anything that requires using my password. I can't buy anything and I can't check my purchases. Every time I put in my password I get an error message and it says try again later. This has been happening for 4 days now. I can play my existing games just fine. I can access my itunes store through the internet just fine with my password, but just not on my ipod touch. I sent an email to the itunes support store 3 days ago and have not heard back from them. Does anybody have any suggestions on why this is happening all of a sudden after having the ipod for almost 2 years?
Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

I had to get my phone replaced, I did back it up. However when I went to sync my itunes to my phone, now ALL my music is all of the sudden not able to be found. As you can imagine I'm quite ******. Anyone know anything of this?
I also updated my itunes a couple days ago when i backed up my phone - could it have been that?music is apart of a back up. however if you did not transferyour purchases before doing the back up you will have to re download them. to do so sign into itunes, on the right hand side under quick links you will see purchased. click on it and go to the music tab. all of your music will be there you will see a cloud next to them with an arrow pointing down that is where you download them there may also be an option to download all. you can do the same for any apps that you may have purchased also. after they have downloaded plug your device in and sync them back to the device. hope this helps

Windows suddenly not recognizing iPhone, yet recognizes another iPhone fine (sees in iTunes, etc.) USB appears to be fine - passes electrical to iPhone until operating system (XP) boots, and then "disconnects". I've gone through all of Apples suggestions for troubleshooting - including msconfig. Same result - quick double "bong" tone and no connectivity to iTunes. Versions are all up-to-date.
Any suggestions out there?How did you get the VMWare sync to work? I hate Apple at this point.
