ITunes in Windows PC only launches at reboot does not recognize iPod touch

I have had this problem for sometime, but have lived with it. I have my iPod touch 1G connected to a Windows XP PC for syncing charging etc. If I unplug the iPod touch and use it for a while not connected to the PC and then plug in into the USB port, iTunes does not recognize the touch and I have to do a complete reboot of the windows PC. Is there a work around for this problem?

Is windows freezing for you undr those circumstances, or is something a bit different going on? (If you're getting an error message, let us know what it says.)

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • ITunes is very slow to open - does not recognize iPod Touch

    I'm running on Windows 7 and iTunes is the only program that I am experiencing any problems with. Outside of iTunes, everything operates optimally. I'm going to run AV and AM software tomorrow to see if I'm infected but I doubt that is the case here.

    I only have some 4,000 songs in the library and by default, it opens up in the list view. I have tried opening it in safe mode but to no avail, I experienced the same thing. It pretty much takes 3-5 minutes to get past this white screen and see the list view and it doesn't recognize my devices when I plug them in - only recognized by Windows.
    Any idea as to what may be the cause here?

  • ITunes 9 does not recognize iPod Touch (1st Gen); Vista does -- as a ...

    ...Still Digital Camera, complete with a DCIM folder.
    Upon USB hookup, Vista popups up a new window with the directory My Computer\Apple iPod\ , with the sub-directories of Internal Storage\DCIM. Free space and Used space are both 0 bytes.
    Additionally, the attempt to reset the iPod failed, as Vista claims that recovery mode for the iPod is not supported.

    It says 9.1.1(11) -- and the update check says it's there are no updates for me.
    Looking through the drivers that are associated with the iPod, I get:
    \system32\drivers\WpdMtpDr.dll
    \system32\drivers\WpdUSB.dll
    \system32\drivers\WUDFRd.sys
    \system32\WpdConns.dll
    \system32\WpdMtp.dll
    \system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
    No USBaApl.sys at all.
    An attempt to auto-update the driver and by manually pointing to the \system32\drivers\ directory yields:
    Best driver already installed -- Digital Still Camera
    Without an .inf file to easily associate to the iPod, it's hard to choose which of the device drivers to force the usbaaple.sys to the iPod -- I can't choose .sys files, only .infs.
    Of the device types:

    --Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver
    Outside of the Kodak drivers, I've no idea which one would be best suited for the iPod, and I suspect none of them will work. I should note, the iTunes did recognize the iPod at some point. Thankfully, I only sync'ed to the iPod instead of maintaining a portion of my library on the iPod Touch (I lost some tracks on an iPod Mini when slipped off the jack and hit the ground, crashing the hard drive); I don't have any photos or videos on it.

  • ITune 9.1.1 (12) does not recognize iPod Touch

    I tried to add new music onto my iPod touch today, and found that iTunes did not recognize my iPod. I even used three different USB cords to connect. I cannot update to a new version of iTunes because my OS is so old (I am waiting for the summer 2011 release of Lion).
    My iPod turns on when it is plugged in to my computer, but does not charge or initiate iTunes to open. It worked fine one month ago! What can I do to resolve this?

  • After installing Leopard and combo iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch

    Hi, probably this question has been asked somewhere, but I can't find it. Given that after upgrading to Leopard and the combo, my iPod is seen in iTunes, but my iPod Touch does not show up in iTunes. The answer seems to be to reinstall iTunes, if I do that, will the reinstall keep my fine iTunes music library? thanks, e_moma

    Most people in this situation seem to have to re-install iTunes. iTunes the application resides in the Applications folder. Your music resides in ~/Music/iTunes/ and will not be affected by re-installing the application. 
    Of course you have a good back-up on an external drive anyway - right(?)

  • Brand new Ipod touch bought yesterday - Screen is frozen with an itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh or restore ipod. Computer and itunes does not recognize ipod.

    This is first Ipod for me  - I have had less than one day. Screen is frozen with itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh/restore or do anything with ipod. I turn off/on and get the same frozen screen. My computer does not recognize ipod. Itunes does not recognize ipod so I cannot restore.... Should I take this ipod back and get a new one? Is this normal?

    Before you can use the iPod you have to activate it by connecting it to a computer with iTunes.  Try the following to get your computer to see the iPod so you can activate the iPod.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod. The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" but the device is not listed in iTunes so it will not sync.

    Hey, we are having exactly the same problem! My old ipod died a slow death so I bought a new nano 16gb 4th gen and I can't use it as itunes isn't recognising any ipod being plugged into it. I've been through the whole support database and every USB port is working on the laptop, so I know the computer is recognising its there its just itunes itself - even removed and downloaded it again but no change! If anybody has any ideas what is going on please let me know!!!!
