  • Windows vista/iTunes doesnt recognize ipodtouch

    Hi,
    I just bought a new ipod touch, and treid connecting it to my pc. the first time i plugged it in windows vista said something about new hardware recongized and installing drivers, i waited till it was done and then checked iTunes. My ipod was not visible there, then i checked window explorer and it wasnt visible there either. I turned on my ipod and it just shows a picture of a cable and plug and then an arrow pointing at itunes. So far I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, turned the ipod on and off, checked my device manager (which doesnt show the ipod touch either) for any issues with the usb ports. I have no clue whats wrong with it! I'm going to try and plug it into a different pc to see if that one will recognize it, but I raelly need it to work on my own pc. Any suggestions are really welcome!
    cheers,
    Conrad.
    (Edit: Add hard resetting the ipod to things I've treid and didnt work list)

    Hey Conrad,
    Make sure you're plugging the iPod touch directly into the PC and not into a hub, monitor, or keyboard.
    What security software is running on the PC? Try disabling it or reconfiguring it.
    These two articles will provides tips that may resolve the issue.

    When did you upgrade to 4.1? 4.1 is no longer signed by Apple. It's no longer possible to (legitimately) install 4.1.

    Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

  • Trying to activate a second iphone and itunes doesnt recognize

    I am trying to activate a second iphone, and itunes doesnt recognize that it is plugged in.  This is also the case with my other iphone and my itouch.  Tried restarting everything and also tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, nothing has worked.  Is there a way to fix this or another way to activate the phone?

    Try activating it on a different computer, and using a different dock connector to USB cable if possible.
    If that doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem. Take it to your Apple Store for testing.

    Thank you

    Can your girlfriends computer see your itunes over the network, will hers stream music from yours?
    Can your itunes see the internet and visit the store?
    Check your iTunes prefs to see it it is set to look for appletv's
    If iTunes cant see the internet or your girlfriends itunes it may be a firewall issue
