Hi, Damski2310.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Try

or

New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

HT1414 itunes doesn't update any of my devices

I try everything and i can't restore or update my devices ( iPhone 4, iPad 3, iPod 4, iPhone 3GS ), when i try to update/restore send me the message "device not eligible for requested build" i don't have firewalls, i already change the host file, i delete itunes and reinstall, my devices don't have the jailbreak,all my Mac is updated, also itunes, i really don't know what to do, because i already try everything, the last step i guess is restore all my Mac to the factory settings, so what i can do????

yes, the last 6.1.3 but also i'm trying to keep the iOS 6.1.2, but no matter if is the new, itunes send the same message, i don't know if i have the wrong IP to itunes:
# 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
also i open gs.apple.com and i see an apple provisional page, i don't see any 404 error

ITunes doesn't see any of my iCal Calendars i

I'm trying to sync my iCal to my iPod Touch, but not having any luck. I had it syncing via "Exchange Account" through NuevaSync but there are some issues there...decided to go back to sync via the cable. I am now unable to see any of my calendars in iTunes. The list of calendars is blank.
What I've tried:
Resetting sync history
Removing isync pref folders
Backing up calendars via export and deleting all calendars, re-adding calendars via import to iCal
Confirmed URLs for published and subscribed calendars
Unpublished all calendars and got rid of subscribed calendars
Re-subscribed and re-published calendars
So far--nothing's working. Any suggestions?
THANKS!
Corey

Go to the iPhone discussion and search for calendar synching. I've been there and solved my iCal problems. Look for info on deleting a "cache" folder as well, I know I removed one but can't remember which one.
I think you can only sync personal calendars.
Also try creating another user on your mac, log-out as yourself and log-in as the new and then try opening iTunes to see if it recognizes your calendars.

Itunes doesn't see any of my three Ipods

So after years of hassle-free ITunes, I'm pulling my hair out. Installed Snow Leopard last week, very shortly thereafter Itunes starting hanging alot. Won't recognize my three ipods (nano's and a 60Gb, older versions) but oddly does recognize my Itouch.
I have trashed Itunes and reinstalled, no luck. Have tried all the various wires/ports, but I know which wires worked where in the paste and so am confident that is not the problem. Only change has been to upgrade to Snow Leopard this last week.
Some kind soul, please help?

hmmm...I've made Itunes mad.
So I tried the first (disk repair). Messages as follow:
Repairing permissions for “Robosalsa's Hard Drive”
Permissions differ on "private/etc/postfix/main.cf.default", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are -r--r--r-- .
Repaired "private/etc/postfix/main.cf.default".
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Group differs on "Users", should be 80, group is 0.
Permissions differ on "Users", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are drwxrwxrwx .
Repaired "Users".
Okay, something was wrong but did get repaired
Then I ran Disk Repair again and only got:
Permissions repair complete
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
That's nothing to worry about.
That didn't fix the problem (same as before, Itunes hung when I plugged in an IPOD).
So I tried the second suggestion, i.e. changing the read only to read and write. That made Itunes mad. Now whenever I open Itunes, it hangs immediately. I changed back the permissioning, but Itunes still hangs whenever it opens. So, I tried (a) recreating Itunes libary and playlists (from apple boards) - no luck, Itunes hangs as soon as Itunes reopened and (b) trashing Itunes 8.2.1.6 and installing 9.0.2 - no luck, still hangs as soon as opened. Very weird!!
So I have Time Machine doing a back-up of my drives, never tried using it. It is time to try?
I'm not sure making a backup of a troubled system will be useful. You should have TM backups of your pre-problem system in order to be of help.
Or some other thoughts? Maybe trashing all of Itunes per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 and then trying to reinstall? I am just concerned I lose all my playlists and such.
I'm in the office right now and working with an XP machine. But you can export your playlist(s) to a safe location and re-import them later. Highlight the playlist you'd like to save and then check for the export option. I expect it will be under the file menu. Also backup (maybe to a USB stick) the folders such as +album artwork+, +previous iTunes libraries+ etc.
+Maybe trashing all of Itunes per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 and then trying to reinstall?+
Yes and yes. Try that and repair permissions. restart your machine and re-install iTunes (latest version). put the backed up folders etc back in the usual place (eventually overwriting was has been recreated there). import your playlists and connect one of your iPods.
good luck !

ITunes doesn't see PSE7 images

I had Photoshop Elements 8 installed, and iTunes could see those photos just fine. But then my trial expired, so I had to uninstall and use PSE7. The problem is that iTunes no longer sees my PSE7 catalog and instead sees the PSE8 catalog as it was before it was uninstalled. I managed to track down where iTunes apparantly copied the PSE8 catalog and deleted it, but now iTunes doesn't see any PSE catalogs at all.
Of course there is the option to sync with individual folders, but I'd rather not do that since PSE keeps them nice and organized, and iPod Touch doesn't show the folders within subfolders of the selected folder for photo syncing. So, how can I get iTunes to pick up my PSE7 catalog again?

I had something similar (if not the same) happen. I was going to transfer some new shows from iTunes on my laptop into my iPod. The msg I get from iTunes: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "(iPod'S name)". Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings." The best part....my iPod's empty! I don't know what happened but I tried to connect it to my work PC and it read the same. I can reload my iPod with songs/shows. That's not an issue BUT I'd like to know what may have caused this and how do I know it won't happen again?

Itunes doesn't see my iphone 5

Just got a new phone, but when I plug it into my MacBook Pro iTunes doesn't see it as a device. iPhoto launches, so it is not invisible. It's just iTunes that won't wake up.
Help!

What version Itunes and mac software are you using? iphone 5 needs certain requirements
Does it read when you manually open itunes?
Itunes also has settings for it to open when your device is connected, and seeing that its new, you have to resync it.

Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Hello andreaparra,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I found the following article that will help you in resolving this issue, where none of your devices are being recognized by iTunes.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you get to the part where it asks you to uninstall iTunes, even though you have done it before, be sure to uninstall iTunes and the other components in the order listed.
Take care,

You might have better luck posting in the iPod Nano forum. You posted in the iPod Touch forum. For an iPod Touch one would start here:

I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.

I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices. I assume that I have to reconfigure them to the the new wireless but how do I do this frmo my PC? Thanks

I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on each of your AirPort Express base stations. Once completed, you can use the following Apple Support article to configure each base station for streaming.

I am unable to see any of my devices (Iphone 3GS, Iphone 4, Iphone 4S and Iphone 5) in Itunes. All appear fine in windows and can be browsed via windows explorer. I have restarted AMDS and checked all the drivers? Have windows updates or Itunes updates cause a compatibility issue at all?
