Itunes is not recognising my ipod!! says i need to install 64 bit version, it is 64 bit version though!!

itunes is not recognising my ipod!! says i need to install 64 bit version, it is 64 bit version though!!

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Itunes will not sync with Ipod saying it needs restored

    I moved my library to an external harddrive but this caused a fall out with the Ipod. When I restored my library the Itunes constantly wants to restore the Ipod. I have restored the Ipod several times to the point that it is totally cleared but the Itunes still does not like it and wants it restored.
    Any ideas?

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

    Hi Moclam12,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPod classic is formatted for Windows, and you want to sync it with your Mac, try to force the iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it using your Mac.

  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

  • Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod

    Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod.
    Windows does but Itunes doesn't.
    The Windows dialogue box syas "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    I have gone through the 5 Rs and the troubleshooters and the problem persists.
    Any ideas?

    Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod. Windows does but Itunes doesn't. The Windows dialogue box syas "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    Have a look in your Device manager. (Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage" and click "Device Manager".)
    Is Device Manager (in the right hand pane of the Window) completely blank?
    If so, see the following Microsoft document for troubleshooting advice:
    Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
    (When you get your Device Manager displaying correctly again, iTunes should stop giving you the "iPod Service Module" crash.)

    Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
    I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.  
    Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
    It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
    Well, that's about it..
    I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
    Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.

  • My computer and itunes does not recognise my ipod nano

    I had to return a faulty ipod nano. The replacement isn't recognised in My Computer or in iTunes.
    I think this might be to do with the registration of the first nano still being recognised?
    I have reinstalled itunes and followed the 5R's in the manual, but the ipod is still not recognised eg. Will not sync.
    A dialogue box displays the following message:
    'an ipod has been detected,but it could not be identified properly...'
    Can anybody help?

    I am facing the same problem, buddy. My iPod nano is not recognized by my MacBook Pro nor by iTunes.
    I tried everything suggested in trouble shooting. Looks like, I will have to visit an apple store soon to get it replaced/exchanged.

  • HT1212 Hi itunes will not recognise my ipod!!!!!! please help!

    Hi when i plug my ipod in my computer it come up on my computer but not on itunes!!! i need it to recognise my ipod however my ipod is disabled at the moment as i am trying to restart my ipod because i connot remember my pass code!!!!!!! what do i do?!

    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.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Itunes does not recognise my ipod it says i,m already logged in with another ipod. i have only ever used the one i,m using now on this PC.

    I tried to access my itunes account with my ipod touch. Itunes says i,m already using another ipod, which isn,t true. I have downloaded all my music and games to ipod touch. I did have another PC which i used an ipod nano. I have not used it on this PC. All my music has my music albums have been wiped out.Brian.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Itunes is not recognising my ipod when plugged in to my computer

    I have recently updated itunes and my ipod is no longer recognised by my computer when i plug it in.

    Hi claremike,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that your iPod Classic is not connecting to iTunes on your Windows computer after you completed an update to iTunes. There could be a few different things that could cause this. I suggest starting with number 1 in the following article and using the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. If the issue remains unresolved after you complete the troubleshooting assistant, continue in this article on number 2 and work your way down.
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    I hope this helps,   
    -Joe
