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.

Iphoto doesn't recognize pics from ipod touch

iphoto doesn't recognize pics from ipod. It says they are an unrecognizable format.
Anything to do with the new software update?
btw
hate this new system.
I guess the engineers need work?

Have you been able to get the ISO on that camera before. Did you have the camera set to Auto?
All of my Canon cameras do not record the specific ISO even though a specific ISO is set. The only Canon file I have that gives an ISO in iPhoto is from a Canon EOS 30D. I have Konica files that provide ISO in iPhoto as does a Nikon D100. The Canon point and shot cameras, s10, s100, s110, s400, s410 and the SD700 IS do not record the specific ISO value. It just give Light Source-Auto when viewed in an application that can read all of the fields.
Do you Twango?

ITunes will not recognize my 2G iPod Touch

Just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64bit and IE9. I have dowloaded latest version of iTunes 10 and my problem is that when I plug in my iPod Touch it will not appear as a device in iTunes. It shows up in mycomputer as a digital camera but say's it's my iPod and has an iPod icon next to it. When I connected the first time it worked just fine but I have not been able to get it to recognize since. I am not getting any errors and the autoplay window does not pop up when it's plugged in. Had a similar problem with my old laptop (part of the reason I got the new one) but after unplugging it a few times or restarting the computer it would always work, not so on the new machine. I should mention it works just fine on my old desktop. Tried a few things I saw in some other threads but nothing has worked. Not a techie but I can follow directions. Please help, this is really irritating, got a new computer so I wouldn't have these problems anymore!

I've tried all 4 ports on my computer, none of them work. When I plug in my older ipod nano, itunes recognizes it instantly.

After upgrading to Lion , itunes does not recognize my ipad, ipod touch anymore.

Yesterday I updated to Mac OSC Lion on my original Intel Macbook (the first Aluminum Macbook) with 4GB RAM.
Today I had a run in with my ipad and ipod touch, both of whom are not being recognized by itunes anymore.
My ipod shuffle and classic are still being recognised and do sync.
I have read through the support pages and annoyingly even factory-reset my ipad, which cannot be used anymore due
to itunes not recognizing the device !
System profiler does show either ipod or ipad being connected to the usb port. Resetting of the devices did not help (see above)
Any clues to this inconsistent behaviour differentiating between classic ipods and ipod touch/ipad ?
js.

update: It seems like the XCode update did interfere with itunes. I reran the XCode install this time with itunes not running. This seems to update all necessary drivers and Library items correctly.
After this IPad and IPod touch were working fine again.

My Itunes doesn't recognize my new iPod classic

I got it got it checked at the apple store and the Apple associates told me there was something wrong with my itunes driver, but they didnt want to try and fix it because none of them knew how to fix a PC

This may sound lame but try updating your Windows updates and also update your iTunes. I may be wrong but iTunes doesnt really have a driver. Does your computer recognize something is plugged in when you plug the iPod in? If your computer doesnt recoginze youriPod then try plugging it into a different USB, perferable the ones in the back of the computer.
If that doesnt work you need to go to Control Panel and find your way to Device Manager and right click on the USB one and click look for updates.

ITunes doesn't recognize my updated iPod

Using iTunes 5.0.1 I upgraded my iPod software to 1.2 for my color iPod. I still get the message that I cannot use purchased music because my software is too old. On the iPod the version says it is 1.2. I tried repairing permissions but it didn't help. I tried reinstalling iTunes 5.0 and that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

My itunes doesn't recognize my ipod touch because I've never connected it before and it is disabled, it won't let me restore it, it says to enter a passcode in order to connect and I can't because it is disabled

My ipod touch is disabled and it says to connect to itunes to restore. I have never added the ipod to my devices on my itunes so when I connect it says that itunes doesn't recognize the device. I then put it in recovery mode and connected it to itunes and I clicked restore and it says that itunes can't connect until I put in the passcode, but I can't put in a passcode because it is disabled!!! I don't know how to fix it and it is only a month old, should I take it back?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

ITunes doesn't recognize iPod Touch

I doubt that this is a Touch-specific question, but that's what I have. A couple weeks ago, I reinstalled 10.4. Since then, iTunes has not recognized my iPod touch when I plug it in. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Max

Hello,
Try re-installing the latest version of iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I realize this is very un-Mac like fault finding but several people have reported that when updating to Leopard they had to re-install iTunes 7.6 to get their +iPod touch+ to be recognized again. I believe this be because the +iPod touch+ needs the Apple Mobile Device Service to be installed which is removed during some OS updates and can only be reapplied by installing iTunes again.
