ITunes doesn't detect that my iPod is connected

I plugged my iPod touch in today so I could sync it, and the USB found sound was played, followed by a USB error sound. iTunes did not recognise that my iPod was connected and would not sync it.
I looked in Device Manager and there was an exclamation mark over Apple iPod, and the following message was displayed:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
I don't know why this is happening, as I successfully synced my iPod yesterday with no issues.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I am having this same problem. I have been able to sync before, but now when I attach my ipod, itunes does not recognize it. The PC thinks it's another drive letter, and itunes never shows it in the list on the left.
Any ideas how to correct this?

    Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

    No problem, glad to help!
    Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

  • My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

    Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes doesn't start automatically when ipod is connected.

    Even though I have clicked on the place that says itunes will start automatically when iPod is connected to pc, it doesn't. I have to click on iTunes everytime, and then it takes a while to run.
    Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?

    hi joyful!
    just checking. reboot the PC, and prior to launching itunes or plugging in the ipod, bring up your Task Manager to the "processes" tab.
    is there an iTunesHelper.exe running in your processes?

    Hello Eainere,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the phone is in recovery mode, and is not recognized in iTunes when you have it plugged in.
    The steps to take next will depend on what Operating system you have installed on your computer.

  • IPod touch 3g stuck in recovery mode, but iTunes doesn't detect it.

    I tried several times to update the software on my ipod, but each time was interrupted by my computer going to sleep (pc, Windows 7).  Now my ipod is stuck in recovery mode, and itunes doesn't detect it at all.  The ipod also won't turn off.  I have tried all the troubleshooting here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US.  Please, does anyone else have any ideas?  TIA

    Thanks, I'll try it out, and update here.  It might take a little while for the battery to drain without being used.

  • I am switching to a new computer.  Itunes doesn't detect my ipod

    I am swithching to a new computer and iTunes doesn't detect my iPod.  I have loaded iTunes on the computer along with all my music and play lists.  When I connect my Pod to the system, the computer recognizes it but iTunes doesn't.

    OK,  I was able to get iTunes o recognize my iPod touch using the following procedures:

    But, I can't sync the iPod to iTunes on the new computer.

  • Itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

    itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

    I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

  • After 4.3.4 update the ipPad is in Recovery mode and iTunes doesn't detect the device

    Hello,
    brand new Win7 installation, restored iTunes folder and installed latest 10.4. iTunes64 bit.
    Hooked up both my iPad and iPhone4
    Detected new firmware 4.3.4
    and bang, both devices are now stuck into recovery mode.
    No matter I set the iPad/iPhone into Recovery or DFU mode, iTunes will not detect any device for recovery.
    Uninstall/Install iTunes => no change
    The driver will display that the units is detected and in DFU or Recovery mode, but iTunes doesn't detect the device.
    Tried TinyUmbrella etc but no fix
    Any other hint?
    Best Regards
    Uwe

    Place the device in DFU mode (google it) then restore.

  • Latest version of Itunes doesn't detect my internet connection.

    Itunes doesn't detect/see my internet connection. I reloaded it twice, When in Itunes, I can't download anything from the Itunes site. No tutorials,no software updates, nada! I tried it in the previous version of the Itunes setup too. Same problem.
    I have an HP laptop, Vista Home premium (works fine anywhere else), Nortons 36O (disabled), ATT DSL
    I am running Firefox too, and tried to connect with Internet Explorer 9.xx, didn't work either. Some of the messages indicate that the Proxy Server info is missing/incorrect as configured. This is out of my league. I don't have enough background to TS this issue myself.
    Seems like a sporatic, but common problem with other users as well. I need Itunes to run, correctly so that I can fix my Iphone. The limited diagnostics found in Itunes tells me that the phone is ok and communicates with the test software. But I can't get any deeper than that.
    Thank you for your help.

    I think you're missing the point. If you rip or purchase music at 128k, 256k, 320k etc. then there is no benefit to be had converting it to Apple Lossless. The files will get bigger but the data thrown away to make the previous lossy version cannot be reclaimed. If, on the other hand, you routinely rip in .wav or .aiff then you should end up with smaller files of the same quality which is indeed worth the effort.

    When running diagnostics, iTunes doesn't detect an optical drive at all.  What do I do next?

    I think, no... I know you failed to provide complete details of everything that had been attempted.
    Then you responded with a smart donkey comment.
    Best of luck finding a resolution.

  • Why itune unable to detect my 1st ipod

    Hello,
    I am using most update Itune under 64 bit Windows 7 , Why the iTune unable to detect my 1st iPOD ? The same system is working with my iPhone 4 ..

    - Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Did you do anything to the iPod since iTunes last saw the iPod?
    - Presume you used the same USB port and cable that works with the iPhone

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • ITunes doesn't lauch automaticly when iPod connected

    Hi,
    iTunes doesn't launch automaticly when my I connect iPod touch 2nd gen.
    Sincerely.

    Here's what I did when iTunes started to not open automatically when I connect my iPod touch to the Universal Dock. With the iPod connected, I unchecked "Open iTunes automatically" and "Apply", then I checked "Open iTunes automatically" again. iTunes asked me if I wanted to install "iTunesHelper.app" and I clicked "Yes". No problems with any of my iPods since.
    Make sure iTunesHelper.app is active on launch in System Preferences > Accounts.
