  • 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.

  • Itunes doesn't recognize ipod touch even after I download latest version

    About a week ago my ipod touch froze on the apple logo screen. I found a way to reset the factory setting and then try something else (can't remember what it was) where the itunes logo shows up on the screen and you plug it into your computer. After I did that a message came up that said "The ipod "ipod touch" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 9.2 or later. Go to itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes". I did that and it still won't recognize it. I even downloaded the latest version of iTunes 3 times and after I plug my ipod in still the same message. I got this ipod touch as a Christmas gift in 2009. A friend of my mom's bought a car and it came with it. She didn't want it so she gave it to me. So, I'm not even sure which version it is. I've had no problems with it up until now. What do I need to do to get itunes to recognize my ipod? There's got to be more than downloaded the latest version several times- I know that's not good.

    I would start by removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using the instructions in the link.

  • Itunes doesn't recognize Ipod Touch 4g

    I purchased my daughter a brand new Ipod Touch 4G last weekend.   When we connect the new Ipod Touch to my daughters computer, Itunes won't recognize her Ipod Touch.   However, I can attach her Ipod Touch to two other computers and it recognizes without problem.
    When I plug in the Ipod touch to her computer, it makes a noise indicating it has recognized something is plugged in but nothing is recognized in Itunes.
    And what is more strange is her computer will recognize four other Apple devices without problem (an I Phone 4G, an I Phone 3G, an I Pad 2 and a Ipod Touch 3G).
    I have completely gone through the recommended Ipod Touch Trouble Shooting steps 4 times now and have no success with the Ipod Touch recognized on my daughters computer.   I have completely removed all the Apple software (Bonjour, Itunes, Apple, etc.) and reinstalled.     I have even removed the anti virus software and it didn't help.
    I have also tried to completely erase the Ipod Touch holding down the Sleep Walk button and Home Button for 10 seconds.   After plugging in to her computer when indicated, I get an error message that the reset was not successful.
    It is so strange that her computer recognizes 4 other apple devices without problem and her Ipod touch is recognized by 2 other computers without problem.   There has to be a specific reason that it won't work on my daughters computer.
    Any suggestions beyond the Ipod Touch Trouble Shooting link?

    - First try placing the iPOd in recovery mode and resoring via iTunes on the computer: For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808- Then it is time for an appountment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  Sounds like you have a defective iPod.

  • ITunes doesn't see iPod Touch

    I recently had to restore my Mac from Time Machine. Most things work fine, but iTunes does not see my iPod Touch. I'm not sure, but I think this backup was made just before I updated the Touch to iOS 4. I don't know if that would make a difference or not. Any ideas on how I can get these two talking again?

    Same problem on my MacBook:
    - iPod Touch directly connected to the Mac (built in USB port)
    - iTunes 8.02
    - iPod Touch 8 GB with Version 2.2
    From one day to the other iTunes does not recognize the iPod. First messages says ".. you have to unlock the iPod..." then (when done) Error message "0xe8000001" appears.
    Could not find a solution for me, even i found many users with Problem "0xe8000001" but the found hints do not help.
    I tried to reinstall iTunes, but this does not helped.
    The iPod is recongnized on an other (not my) Mac/iTunes - but I want to have it connected /synchronized on my Mac.
    I can remember, that I runned some SW updates from apple (as I do every time when updates are displayed) in the same time when the error occured, but I can not say if this can be the reason.
    My idea was to restore the iPod - but how to do this without iTunes?
    Any idea?

  • Why isn't the itunes app on my ipod touch anymore?

    My iPod doesn't have the iTunes app, but I know I used to have it. Now, I only have it on my iPad.
    I don't know why the app isn't present on my iPod, but I do need it there.

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPod has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • 2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

    2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

  • My computer will not recognize my ipod touch anymore. When I plug it in it says the USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows doesn not recognize it.

    My computer (PC) will not recognize my ipod touch anymore. When I plug it in, it says the USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. I have tried attaching the same cord and ipod to a different computer and it is recognized by our mac. I have tried restarting the ipod, downloading all updates on my pc, restarting the pc, etc. Nothing has worked. Please advise.

  • 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

  • Doesn't recognize Ipod touch after upgrade itunes to 11.1.3.8

    i upgraded itunes and my 2gen ipod touch will not open itunes. It is recognized as a drive in the file folder

    I've tried most all of the "solutions" listed' uninstalling itunes, reinstalling, checking Admin Svcs for Ipod and Itunes. Still no luck. Seems there would be a option when plugged in to start Itunes, then we could get to the ipod anyway.

  • IPod Touch Newbie: What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?

    What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?
    All it does is connect to the iTunes store if I'm near a WiFi connection. It appears to be useful only for impulse purchasing of media. So why is it not named "iTunes Store"? It appears to have no other function.
    Also, to listen to my iTunes music on iPod Touch I have to click on the Music button...not the iTunes app. What logic is that?
    Also, iTunes has synced a movie for me, but I have no clue how to view it on the iPod Touch. It doesn't appear in iTunes on the iPod Touch, and there is no "Movie" button anywhere. What am I missing? I can't find it anywhere.

    For purchasing music, downloading podcasts,etc.

    When I press the iTunes button on my ipod touch I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store' .  My wifi is working fine, I can connect to safari & you tube, no parental setting in place, and time and date are correct. Can anyone help please? I have restored my ipod to factory settings and rest it.

    I also tried moving the date forward by a year and then moving it back to normal and it still doesn't work.  i can't find an automatic update of time zones on my itouch to turn this off.
