Itunes does not recognize my ipod

Since im using Itunes to sincronize my Ipad 3 Gen, my Ipod Classic 160 Gb its not recognized by Itunes in my laptop windows 7 64 bit.

The first thing is does windows recognize the ipod? If not chekc your cable's connection to the tower and your ipod. If windows still doesn't recognize it, you could have a bad cable or connector on your iPod. You could also try a different fire wire/USB port.
If the connection is good and windows does recognize the iPod, does iTunes just not allow you to transfer to the iPod? By this I mean, can you see the iPod's name under the Library, Store, etc. in the iTunes window? If this is the case then you need to associate the iPod with that computer. This will cause you to delete all the files on your iPod and update them using the current track list.
If neither of these are the case, let me know.

  • 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.

    Still no joy, see this.

  • 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?

  • 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

    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

    hi 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?

  • After updating iTunes for window 8.1 iTunes does not recognize my ipod touch

    My laptop updated to iTunes version 11.1.4.  And now when i hook up my ipod or iphone, itunes does not see it. My laptop still sees both but now i cant download songs to either device. Any ideas anybody?

    Re: Upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and now it won't recognize my iPhone Sep 18, 2013 2:15 PM (in response to davidsh_seattle) I was able to fix it!  iTunes can now see my iPhone5.   I followed these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538   And re-installed the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver".   •     Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu. •     Click "Browse my computer for driver software." •     Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." •     Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.) •     In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button. •     Use this window to navigate to the following folder:  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. •     Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead). •     Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. •     Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.  this worked to sync my iphone 5. not i4 or i3 phones(now ipods) In Device Manager I also noticed I had 3 apple drivers under Portable devices.  I deleted two of them. I updated the remaining driver, now I can sync my i5, i4 and i3.  You may have to View hidden devices.

  • HELP! My ITunes does not recognize my IPOD

    After unloading the latest version of I Tunes (6) and I pod update, my computer does not recognize my I POD and will my automatically sync my library to the I POD - can someone please help!!!

    Try Resetting Your iPod
    i while it's connected to the computer
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
