  • Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

    Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
    Here is the Apple support article that may help you.

    or my usual solution for Windows Users.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck!

I have also done all the troubleshooting that apple.com recommended too...all except re-installing itunes!

  • ITune Does not recognize my iPhone (Europe 4G-4S)

    iTune Does not recognize my iPhone (Europe 4G-4S). The iOS (ver 4.xx)on the phone does not have the "update the software now" option. WinXp identifies it as "Europe 4G-4S Android Phone and Keeps asking for the following file/driver: ST65xx which I can not find.
    Thanks for your help!

    A google search for "Europe 4G-4S Android Phone" turns up device drivers as FelipeV noted, as well as this product page (in Italian) http://lucazatti.blogspot.com/2013/01/android-40-smartphone-4g-4s-cellulari_11.h tml
    These fakes used to be pretty common and some were actually almost indistinguishable from the real thing until you tried to use them with iTunes...

    Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck.  However...

  • Itunes does not recognize my iphone 4 device

    I bought a new computer, tried to install itunes, after three different people tried to help me, i finally got itunes to install, but when I plug my iphone into my computer, itunes does not recognize the device.  I am trying to 1. upgrade my iphone soft ware to 10.5.3, utilize icloud, and perform basic functions of syncing my phone with my computer. Any help, anyone could provide would be appreciated.
    Tank you,
    Rose

    If your iTunes is the latest version, restart your computer and reboot your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • ITunes does not recognize my iPhone 4 or iPad 2

    I don't have this problem with my windows machine.  Unfortunately, a new policy in the company requires that ITunes not be on your computer or you may be terminated.  I've got one week to figure out why things are different so that I am good to go for the future.
    First off, copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your work computer to an external drive.
    Copy it to /Music/ on your personal computer.
    Try using a USB port on the back of the computer.

  • ITunes does not recognize my iPhone 4-problem solved

    iTunes woudl not recognize my iPhone 4, and i finally figured it out why.  (I am W8)  Went to control panel, device manager, and expanded portable devices. I happened to have my iPhone plugged in to a USB port, and it showed up.  Clicked on the iPhone, clicked on the driver tab, and updated the driver.  Now it connects to iTunes.
    So apparently the driver in my iPhone 4 was the problem.  The TS1538 article above did not address this issue.  I still think it has something to do with the iTunes 11.1.1.11 update, because my phone and my wife's iPhone 4s worked before the update and didn't after the update.  My guess is this is the problem many are having right now.

  • HT201269 My computer does not recognize my iphone 5, or my two ipods.  Is there any easy fix?

    Suddenly, my New Dell PC desktop does not recognize my iphone 5 or either of my ipods.  I have downloaded the most recent itunes software.  My iphone and ipod software is all up to date.  I suspect the PC needs a setting adjustment. My device manager indicates that all of my usb ports are functional.  Any ideas? Thanks, Tom
