ITunes doesn't recognise iPod G5 after latest update to 9.0.1

Hello,
I have recently updated to iTunes 9.0.1 and suddenly it doesn't find my iPod G5 anymore. This is very frustrating as I have just finished moving over my headunit + iPod adapter to my new car, with the intent of being able to enjoy the iPod in the car with steering wheel controls... I don't sync my iPod that often (maybe 1x a month on the Mac), but it is up to date and fully charged. Shows in iTunes fine on Windows systems, just not on my MacOS X 10.5.8 + iTunes 9.0.1 since the update...
I have since tried many things, resetting the iPod, restoring it through a disk erase using Disk Utility, trashing iTunes and reinstalling it (not the settings & lib though), repairing disk permissions on my OS drive, nothing seems to bring it back! The iPod shows fine in Finder and otherwise works (worked) fine. After a disk erase iTunes detects the iPod and suggests I restore it, but after the restore it just doens't show it anymore... What can I do to fix this? Can anyone tell me where to get hold of older versions of iTunes? Maybe if I back up the install it will work again. Thanks for your help!

"iPod should OLNY be restored via iTunes"
In the old days we had the iPod Updater, which would still allow us to restore/update it in the event that iTunes wouldn't 'notice' it, nowadays we HAVE to go through iTunes to perform diagnostics/updates/restore. Hence, what do you do when it doesn't show in iTunes so you can't "restore it the proper way"? It doesn't make sense that the solution (restore) to a problem (not showing in iTunes?) requires the problem not to take place...
Anyway, if anyone has a clue what is up with my jinxed iTunes install, let me know. Thanks!

Wine doesn't start utorrent anymore after latest update [SOLVED]

Like the subject says, wine doesn't start utorrent anymore after latest update. The output I get is the following:
$ wine /mnt/data/utorrent/utorrent-1.6.1-beta-build-478.exe

and then it hangs. If I change my Windows version in winecfg to for instance Windows XP, the first 2 errors disappear, but wine still hangs:

The vm.legacy_va_layout sysctl is not enabled:
# sysctl vm.legacy_va_layout
vm.legacy_va_layout = 0
Does anybody have an idea to what might be going on?
Enabling DRI and disabling DRI doesn't help. Updating to the latest wine 0.9.30-1 also didn't change anything.

Problem is solved. Had to delete the .wine folder. Lost all utorrent settings, but it works again now.

Itunes doesn't recognise ipod Mini

hi,
About 4 days ago now, I updated my ipod because it kept on saying I had to when I plugged it in. So I did and now Itunes doesn't recognise it, infact neither does my pc. It worked absolutely fine before I updated it.
When I plug it in my computer the computer displays ''Found New Hardware''. It then says what do you want the wizard to do?
-Install the software automatically
-Install from a list or specific location.
If I choose either of these it comes up with
''The software you are installing for this hardware has not passed windows logo testing to verify its compatibility with windows XP.''
if you select ''Continue anyway'' it says ''Cannot install this hardware''
I really dont know what to do. This has never happened before, just as soon as I updated my ipod it happened.
Please Help??????

I wish I could help you. I am experiencing the same problem. There is a problem with the mini and the new updates. Some more paranoid folks are thinking its a scam to get us to buy the new nano. I hope itunes and ipod fix this problem soon!

TS1410 Itunes doesn't recognise Ipod.

My itunes said that the ipod could not be restored and i thought that this might have been to do with the cable(was very worn) as the ipod has not been syncing recently either. However I have bought a new cable and itunes doesn't recognise the ipod at all so I can't even try to restore now?

ITunes doesn't recognize iPod since last software update

I updated to iTunes 5.0.1 & iPod 2005-09-23 updater & now when I plug in the iPod w/ USB to my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.2, iTunes doesn't recognize it-- no icon in bottom-right grey area, nor left-hand column-- and the iPod says "Do not disconnect." Which means I'm kinda stuck. Tried restarting, didn't help. Advice? Thanks.

I have the EXACT same problem. Support line suggeste that the iPod updater must have newer software than the iTunes, so I should go to Apple & download the iTunes update. Well, I did, and it didn't do a @#%ing thing to help. I'm NEW to mac & I'm P.O.'ed!!! (paid significantly extra money for iBook compared to Dell, etc since it's supposedly so easy & user-friendly... NOT an impressive start!!!)

ITunes doesn't recognise iPod after restore: help please?

I've just restored, done the connect to power instead of pc (windows based), is reconnected to usb 2 port, but iTunes isn't showing any screen to resetup my iPod, and iPod saying "do not disconnect". What now? Could it be automatically updating without showing in iTunes? This all came about when I tried to do an update of software, which after download & updating pc, only showed "restore" in the iPod updater window.
HELP!

Why delete them?

ITunes doesn't recognise iPod+files on iPod not recognised (1415)

OK, I try to structure the whole thing .... i Tunes doesn't seem to recognise iPod, iPod ejected on connection, 115GB of 'other' data on iPod, nothing plays on it.....
1) When connecting my iPod to iTunes it tells me to restore iPod.
2) The iPod itself disconnects itself from iTunes (showing 'OK to disconnect' on iPod screen). The 'OK to disconnect' stays on the screen even after disconnecting the iPod completely. Rebooting the iPod reveals 123GB of 'Other' data. When selecting Music it shows 'No Music', going to playlists 'No playlists' etc. In setting it says 115GB used, 32.9 GB free. 0 Songs, 0 Videos, etc (all 0).
3) On the iTunes side I get the iPod tab with just the summary tab (no music tab, no photo tab, no nothing).
On the summary tab I have one button I can't click (something irrelevant in this case anywah) and the restore button. Clicking the restore button extracts some software and then gives me the error message 1415 that it cannot restore the iPod.
4) The very first error message calls my iPod by its right name (iPod 160), whereas the iTunes window (and it's name in the lefthand side device list) calls it just 'iPod'. It renamed it when I did a restore attempt earlier in the week. Does this contribute to my woes.

OK, apparently nobody can help .... BUT: solution found! A chap from John Lewis recommended to connect the offending iPod to an apple mac. The apple mac recognised it as an iPod and asked to restore it. And it did. Then connect back to a PC and presto, you restore it there. I'm glad I did no cold formatting etc. on it. I wouldn't have had a clue what I was doing.....

Purchased tv shows wont transfer to 30g video ipod even after latest update

OK, so, after this latest update for itunes and ipod, i can only get one purchased tv show to transfer to the ipod video. how do i get the rest to transfer?
Windows XP

Don't have my video with me, but do a search in the threads, or look in the help files in iTunes and you can find it, or someone will jump in here with it. I know you will need to connect your iPod, highlight it in the source list, and it should be on one of the syncing tabs.

My itunes no longer recognises my nanos following latest update. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no use. Can anyone help??

Following the latest update on itunes - none of my nano devices are recognised anymore which is a bit of an issue. I have worked through all the advice on the online help but still no better off.
I notice that a few others have had similar problems - does anyone have any advice on how to sort this out?

Hello Andy,
I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes. I found a couple of articles that might help with this.
If you don't see your iPod in the My Computer or Computer section of Windows, follow the steps in this article:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
If Windows recognizes your iPod but iTunes does not, follow the steps in this article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

re-installed itunes worked

ITunes doesn't recognise iPod as the default player for audio files.

A few weeks ago my husband completely re-installed our laptop, without properly looking at how to backup my iPod touch. Everything was lost and I have had to start again, however the system still comes up with this message each time I plug the iPod in:
iTunes has detected this is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Program Control Panel to fix this.
I go to the Control Panel, but have no idea what to do.
Can anyone please help me?
I have not upgraded to version (4.0)
Thanks in advance.

Hello Geordie81,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure it wasn't referring to making iTunes the default application for audio files as described in this Apple support document? Worth a shot anyways.

I have an old Ipod Touch, Version 1.1.5 (4B1). I have just attached it to the computer to update my music but Itunes doesn't recognise it. What can I do?

Itunes doesn't recognise my old Ipod Touch - I have attached it to the computer but nothing happens. How can I update it?

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.

Since i installed windows 7 itunes doesn't recognise my ipod touch anymore. windows shows it as a digital camera

I just installed windows 7 because my computer was infected by a virus. Before i had windows vista. Now when i try to connect my ipod with the latest version of itunes, itunes doesn't recognise it anymore.
Windows recognises the ipod touch only as a digitalcamera.
I already shut down my firewall for every apple software product i had on my pc. And i updated itunes already.

Maverick doesn't recognise iPod touch 4th generation on iTunes

my macbook pro late 2011 doesn't recognise iPod touch 4th gen 6.1.5 on iTunes. I read another thread how to sync via WiFi or ethernet but i don't understand. I just want to sync my music.not apps.

1.Does iTunes give you a message to Erase and Sync, are you trying to put Music from your iPod into iTunes?
2. if the iPod Touch is just not showing up, Go to the Black Apple in the top left hand corner, Select About this Mac, then Click on More Info, the Click on System Report, Under Hardware go to USB is the iPod showing up there in the USB device Tree?
If yes to 1., this is not possible, download Third Party Application and Procede from there
If the device is not showing up in 2. , are there any other items connected to the Computer via USB, if yes, you have a bad cable or bad pin on the ipod touch, if not connect something else to the USB and see if it shows up in 2.
If you do not have any other things connected to the computer via USB and can not connect anything else to a USB try Removing everything from the ports of the computer, Quit any applications, then Shut Down the Computer
When the Computer is shut down
Reset SMC Hold "Control+Option+Shift ( on the left hand side of the computer) and the Power Key all at the same time,for about 10 seconds, if you do this correctly then the computer will NOT Turn On
Then Locate Command+Option+P+R (the last two are letter keys), You will need to press and hold these buttons after Powering on the Computer and hearing the Startup Chime, if you do this correctly the Computer will go Black, White, and the make the Chime again
If this does not solve the Issue and the Device is still not showing up in 2. then you have a hardware problem on the computer and need to get your USB ports replaced
