TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

Brand new Ipod touch bought yesterday - Screen is frozen with an itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh or restore ipod. Computer and itunes does not recognize ipod.

This is first Ipod for me - I have had less than one day. Screen is frozen with itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh/restore or do anything with ipod. I turn off/on and get the same frozen screen. My computer does not recognize ipod. Itunes does not recognize ipod so I cannot restore.... Should I take this ipod back and get a new one? Is this normal?

Before you can use the iPod you have to activate it by connecting it to a computer with iTunes. Try the following to get your computer to see the iPod so you can activate the iPod.

Upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod

I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod. The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" but the device is not listed in iTunes so it will not sync.

Hey, we are having exactly the same problem! My old ipod died a slow death so I bought a new nano 16gb 4th gen and I can't use it as itunes isn't recognising any ipod being plugged into it. I've been through the whole support database and every USB port is working on the laptop, so I know the computer is recognising its there its just itunes itself - even removed and downloaded it again but no change! If anybody has any ideas what is going on please let me know!!!!

ITunes does not recognize iPod (3rd gen?) even after trying everything...

I have searched and not found this exact problem on any of the forum pages. My computer (PC) recognizes my iPod as an external USB drive. It is completely charged up (from the AC power). No error messages. Screen shows the "updating - do not disconnect symbol" constantly while docked but the pod does not show up in iTunes at all. I can get the main screen (menu) page by disconnecting the USB device through Windows, but when I try to select any of my data on the pod it shows nothing downloaded on the device. I've tried everything in the support section (most recent version of iTunes, checked that iPod service is running, reinstalled the COM interface for iPod service, deleted and reinstalled iTunes, etc. As a final resort, I "restored" the pod to factory settings using iPod Updater, but no joy...To say I'm unhappy is putting it mildly. Any suggestions before I jump out a window or something????

Sorry for the curt/short explanations, but I am very frustrated.
My computer recognizes my iPod. iTunes does not.
iTunes does not recognize my other nano (2gb) or my friends shuffle. However, when my friend's shuffle is plugged into the computer, the iTunes window will pop up though I still can't see the actual device. On my nano and video, iTunes does not pop up.
In response I have...

I have "reinstalled" the COM Interface about 5x after various changes.

Can anyone help me here??

Problem restoring my ipod. Itunes does not recognize ipod in recovery mode

The other day i decided to update the software of my Ipod touch to the latest version. The download went smoothly, later on while installing the new software an error message appear and the instalation was not completed.
Now my ipod is like a NEW ipod with the USB cable and the ITUNES logo on the screen. I tried restoring it but an error message appear 'error 1601'.
RIGHT NOW my computer and my itunes does not recognize my ipod. I think the ipod is in recovery mode.
PS: I already uninstall and install itunes.
Thanks in advance. I'm freaking out!!

Already done that. The USB port is 2.0 and is on the back of my computer and i am not using any dock or external hubs. The cable i am using is the one that came with my ipod when i bought it.
I connected the cable to ALL the USB ports just in case the one i was using was not working properly but the error continued. I also check that the USB ports are not protected (meaning the USB port is blocked and recognizes the ipod as a virus). I also deactivated the firewall just in case it was blocking itunes or the apple mobile device support.
I've done everything and i am freaking out!! Please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! thanks anyway lllaass

ITunes does not see iPod after last updates

It seems that many people have this same problem, but I do not see any solutions. I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and did the iPod updaters. Since this, my computer at home and work no longer recognizes my iPod. I keep getting something asking me to restore my iPod, but i have a bunch of pictures on it that I do not have saved anywhere else. Doing a restore will erease everything on my iPod.
please help.

Well, that was annoying.
I just went through the same grief being reported by many other users here: I updated my iTunes on Windows XP, and it stopped recognizing my iPod. (Plugging in the iPod would actually kick off iTunes, but after coming up, iTunes refused to see the iPod.)
It's working again, and it did seem to be related to network drives. However, I wasn't very disciplined about trying a single step, seeing if it worked, then proceeding to the next step, so I can't guarantee which specific step(s) below that actually solved the problem.
But for what it's worth:
1. I recently (a day or two before updating iTunes) mounted a new network drive, assigned to drive "G:". My iPod has been "F:" since I first installed it.
2. When iTunes stopped seeing my iPod after updating, I tried resetting the iPod's drive assignment to "H:".
(Unfortunately, I also tried everything else, including restoring the iPod to factory settings...it's now updating something like 1500 tracks.)
3. Resetting the iPod's drive letter as suggested in another thread didn't seem to do anything by itself, however I ALSO UNMAPPED THE NEWER DRIVE ASSIGNMENT DESCRIBED IN STEP 1.
4. Now here's the other stuff I did before trying it again, which may or may not have contributed to the fix:
- I undocked (it's a laptop)
- I moved the USB cable from the docking station
to one of the laptop ports
- I rebooted
After doing this, I plugged in the iPod, and ALLELUIA BROTHERS AND SISTERS, it was RECOGNIZED ONCE MORE!
Give me an AMEN.
Hope this helps somebody else to get going.

ITunes does not recognize iPod Nano (5th gen)

This just started recently...
I am running OS X 10.5.8 on my PPC G5 Dual 2.0 and iTunes 10.4.1.
I am experiencing 2 problems:
1. iTunes no longer sees my iPod Nano - the iPod shows on my computer but iTunes does not display the "DEVICES" section in the left side bar.
(It had been working before but I think this happened after I upgraded to iTunes 10.4.1)
2. Whenever I quit iTunes it takes a few seconds to close the iTunes menu bar and then displays the error message "the application itunes quit unexpectedly".
I have been all over these forums and followed every bit of information I could find.
I've reset the iPod
I've tried every USB port available
I've uninstalled iTunes and installed a freshly downloaded version
I've run Disk Utility several times (below are the results from the last run...)

ITunes does not recognize password after removal of corrupt backup file

I removed a corrupt backup file of my iPhone 4 from iTunes and now it does not recognize my password anymore. The password is correct, as I wrote it down when I set it up and have used it before. Any thoughts? This must be some kind of flaw in iTunes or iOS for iPhone.
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect. The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot. This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
BTW, I do have other choices. I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
Cheers,
Chris.

After installing Leopard and combo iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch

Hi, probably this question has been asked somewhere, but I can't find it. Given that after upgrading to Leopard and the combo, my iPod is seen in iTunes, but my iPod Touch does not show up in iTunes. The answer seems to be to reinstall iTunes, if I do that, will the reinstall keep my fine iTunes music library? thanks, e_moma

Most people in this situation seem to have to re-install iTunes. iTunes the application resides in the Applications folder. Your music resides in ~/Music/iTunes/ and will not be affected by re-installing the application.
Of course you have a good back-up on an external drive anyway - right(?)

ITunes does not recognize iPod but computer does

I just bought an iPod and I can't get the iTunes to recognize the iPod, however, it appears in windows. When I open iTunes it says that I need to download the updater but I have already done that. I've read the support pages apple had provided and have done everything they have said to do but it still does not work.
I bought one a week before this and it worked but the battery did not last so I traded it in for this one. So I know my computer and iTunes is capable of working, just not the iPod.
If anyone has any reasons for this, please let me know. I would appreciate it greatly.

ITunes does not recognize iPhone after reboot

Windows XP SP3, iTunes 10.6.1.7, iPhone 3g v.4.2.1
Running on a Windows XP machine, iTunes will not regonize any one of 3 iPhones plugged in to any one of 4 USB ports using any one of 3 different USB cables.
If I uninstall, then reinstall iTunes from its setup file, all the iPhones are recognized on any USB port with any cable and all can sync successfully with no errors.
But, if I reboot the machine, iTunes no longer sees any of the iPhones plugged in to any of the USB ports again even though they appear as devices under My Computer and you hear the normal two tones indicating successful device connection. The only way to have the iPhones appear in iTunes is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes again each time after the machine is rebooted.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be causing this and how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Chris.
