Received a prompt to update my IPhone 4S to IOS6. I did this from phone. Then when syncing with my Mac/Itunes, it states my software is not up to date and I need to install new version of Itunes. I did this and it still is not recognizing my iPhone when syncing to ITunes. Also no longer can access mail as it states my Mac software is not up to date??? Help.
Which OS X version is your Mac running and which iTunes version is currently installed?

Hi all,
itunes does not recognize my ipod touch 5th gen but it does recognize my ipod touch 3rd gen.?
Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, itunes 10.7.0.21, ipod 5th gen ios 8.3. I know I am not running the latest version of itunes for the
ipod touch 5 gen. but at least with itunes open I would get a message stating cannot connect this ipod because I am not running the
lastest version of itunes. That message would come up everytime I was charging said ipod with itunes open. I just updated to iso 8.3
and now I don't get that message anymore when I have itunes open.I tried turning off ipod/computer/restarting, nothing. I tried going
to administrator/services/apple moble device and stop/start service nothing. Device manager shows the drivers are installed.
Any info will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Itunes does not recognize my Ipods
I am running Windows Vista 64bit. All of a sudden, my itunes does not recognize my Ipod touch or Ipod Nano. As a matter of fact, I am not sure they ever connected since I installed 10.5.1. I have tried to uninstall and install itunes like Apple suggests several times but I get the same result. I have had the installation fail by not installing Apple Mobile Device Support so I somehow managed to install it eventually. However, the result is the same. Still not recognizing my IPODs. The Ipods are recongized by Windows as I can see them in the Windows Explorer with no trouble.
I tried to go back to 10.3.x and it did not work because it did not recognize something created from a newer version of itunes. So although it looked like it installed, it never opened.
How do you fix this? Is there a way to install an older version of Itunes without loosing any data?I believe my problem is related to an incomplete uninstall of itunes. I folled the directions in the Apple support pages but I have a feeling those directions are not complete. I found this page on the interntet on how to completely remove itunes:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
and I was wondering if anyone had used this or something similar. Anyone know anything about this procedure? -

My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden
Hello, My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden. Today before I went running I downloaded some new podcasts to listen to. I plugged in my iPod and for some reason iTunes could not recognize my iPod nano. I run iTunes on Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro and have successfully synced my iPod before with this system. I do not know why it doesn't work now.
Per the instructions on Apple Help, I went through the troubleshoot steps (i.e., restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, updating iTunes, etc.). When all that failed, I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but this still does not work.
I cannot afford to purchase help through Apple, but I like running and I like listening to new stuff when I run. Can someone please help me on this board? I am pretty good with walking myself through simple computer steps.
Thank you in advance!Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano
itunes does not recognize my ipod nano 6, it is a used one and has 1600 plus songs, it shows the songs, but won't let me do anything with them
I had this exact problem. I had to plug the iPod into a USB port on the back of the computer tower not the fron ones. Hope this helps.

The new version of iTunes does not recognize my Ipod-prior to this version, had no problem, Ipod showed up as list under the Imac library. Now getting synch must erase setting! Help
well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit
Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit. Is this a driver issue? Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?
Message was edited by: Mark DiGiacomohi sally,
see if this user tip by Yorkwill helps:
+In the end what works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:+
+1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in+
+and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really+
+matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).+
+2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:+
+o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)+
+o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).+
+o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!+
+You should find the driver info in a sub folder of+
+C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B+
+Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder+
+name into note pad – you’ll need it later)+
+If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not+
+been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.+
+3. Locate the ipod-camera device:+
+o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >+
+Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager+
+o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as+
+‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.+
+4. Update the driver:+
+o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on+
+‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.+
+o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’+
+o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check+
+‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.+
+In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder+
+containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example+
+above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), +
+then click Next.+
+You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue+
+installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come+
+to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.+ -
ITunes does not recognize my iPod Nano Gen. 4
I have a MacBook Pro Retina with the latest version of iTunes installed on it and an iPod Nano Gen. 4. The problem that I have is as follows: My Mac does recognize my iPod but just as storage device. iTunes does open when I plug in my iPod but I cannot find any iPod icon on iTunes and therefore cannot upload anything to the iPod via iTunes.
I have performed a reset procedure on the iPod, restarted my Mac, and tried out different USB cables and ports but iTunes still does not recognize my iPod.
How do I solve this problem?Check here:

5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode
Note: If your device is working on its own and is not in recovery mode, this set of steps is not for you; do not manually place the device into recovery mode.
Your device may not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state, try the following:
Open the Device Manager:
Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the resulting dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return.
Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start. In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return on the keyboard. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return.
Click the plus icon (Windows XP and Vista) or the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries may or may not have exclamation marks on them similar to the following:
If you see only one "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" entry that has no errors on it:
If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them: -
