ITunes Match won't recognize computer after iTunes upgrade

I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes 11.1.4 and was prompted to sign into my Apple ID and iTunes Match indicated this this computer isn't associated with my Match account (even though this is the only computer I have) and I had to click Add Computer. Now it tries to start the match process but crashes everytime it tries to send information to Apple. This has happened 25 times - don't know what to do so now Match isn't active on the computer at all.
Please help!

Hi,
You often get this message when match thinks that you already have a match in progess on another computer.
If you are happy that all your music is on your new hard drive (or if it is only in the cloud), you should select "this computer".

Computer won't recognize Nano after downloading updated ITunes

I updated ITunes and my Video IPod works fine, but my husband's IPod Nano (1st G) now does not exist as far as my computer is concerned. The Nano works fine and charges when I hook it up to the computer through its USB cord, but my computer won't recognize it. Could this be a problem with the new ITunes update?

I posted this elsewhere, but perhaps it fits best here....
I am having this same issue, except in my house, we have 2 nanos- 1 is recognized and 1 is not. Hopefully someone can figure out what's going on.
(both nanos in my house are less than 4 months old)

ITunes won't recognize ipod after upgrade

Yesterday my ipod synced fine, then I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and now when I plug the ipod in, it does not show up anywhere. Nice.
I tried re-installing itunes re-booting and resetting the ipod countless times, different usb ports, etc. I'm convinced it is the software upgrade.
When I plug it in, it does not give the "do not disconnect" msg. It does nothing except indicate it is charging (little lightning bolt).
I had this same issue after an upgrade last year, and all the sudden it started working after simply plugging it in a few days later (magic!)
I also find it hilarious that one of the tips Apple suggests for this problem is to re-set your ipod to factory settings....which step 1 to do so is to connect it to your computer and select that in itunes--I can't get it to show up in itunes, so how can I re-format it!!
Any suggestions?
Are there any other files I should trash when deleting itunes off my mac besides the application?

OK, it is working now. Not exactly sure the cause of problem, but here's what I did in case others have a similar problem:
I did not have a syncservices file Carolyn mentioned.
So I hunted around and found a document suggesting to delete the ipod.plist file and the isync.plist file in the preferences directory.
I did it one at a time, rebooting both my imac and ipod before connecting again.
Deleting the ipod file did not work.
Deleting the isync file DID WORK. Also note that throughout this I had re-named my "iTunes" folder (where all my songs are), so when I opened iTunes, it created a new blank song library. Also, each time I did delete the itunes plist files mentioned previously in this thread.
Once iTunes recognized my iPod I went ahead and restored it, deleting all the iPod data.
I then restored my original song library to itunes, and re-synced the ipod.
Then the moment of truth, disconnecting the ipod and re-connecting to see if iTunes will recognize it. NO LUCK. SAME PROBLEM! %$#@&!
While I'm re-booting the mac, I was playing some videos on my ipod, I had not played in a long time. By pure chance I find that 2 of them appear to be corrupt and did not play correctly...they were very old qt movie of some commercials I had from 10 years ago, that I stuck on my ipod for fun last year.
I also found a video podcast I downloaded from Apple --the day I had these problems--would not even play. It played on iTunes, but locked up my iPod--my iPod has never frozen like that.
So I trashed those corrupt video files before I re-synced my ipod yet again (after restoring it again,etc.).
NOW IT WORKS LIKE A DREAM.
Not sure if a corrupt video file can hose up iPod syncing, but that is what the evidence points to here. Or possibly the older videos combined with the new software upgrade.
Thanks to Carolyn for suggestions.

Itunes won't recognize iPod after installing MediaMonkey..

Hi,
I recently switched from Itunes to MediaMonkey, and I'm very happy. But my girlfriend still uses iTunes. And now her iTunes won't recognize neither her or my iPod when I connect either of them. Windows and MediaMonkey recognizes them perfectly. iTunes just comes up with this error message:
"The software necessary to communicate with iPod isn't correctly installed. Install iTunes again before installing iPod-software."
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes a number of times. I even tried uninstalled MediaMonkey, but nothing works..
PLEASE HELP ME, I'M GOING INSANE HERE =(

Have you tried working through the steps in this article, in the order listed?

Mac won't recognize iPhone after updating to Snow Leopard

WoW won't recognize keys after update

I just installed 10.5.6, and now WoW won't recognize ' as a usable key in the game. So if I want to use it to make the character auto-run, it won't do anything. I can still assign the key to something, but the game itself won't register its use. Works on my MacBook which I haven't upgraded yet, doesn't on my iMac.
Anything which might screw with this in the update?

Hi, I have a similar, though not exactly the same issue, I'm using the DVORAK keyboard layout.
I had my "wasd" keys mapped to their DVORAK alternatives ",aoe" respectively. They no longer work and if I try and remap them in the "Key Bindings" interface, they strangely come out as "wasd".
Also if I want to open chat in game, I have to type the '/' key, which is under normal circumstances my 'z' key. Once in-chat it's fine and I can type using DVORAK again.
This is ever since the upgrade to 10.5.6. It might as well be a WoW issue, not a OSX issue.
I'm not the only one with this problem - see my post on the WoW-forums:

G4 DVD drive won't recognize OS 10.4 upgrade disc

I have a a PowerMac G4 (AGP graphics) with a CPU type PowerPC G4 (2.9). I have a upgrade disc for OS 10.4. When I load it into my Quantam Fireballlp LM27.3 DVD drive, the drive won't recognize the disc. It attempts to read it and then ejects it. I have an external USB 2.0 DVD RW burner plugged into a USB 1.0 port, and it recognizes the disc, but I can't select it as the startup disc.
How do I get my system to read the upgrade disc so I can upgrade to OS 10.4? I've run a lens cleaner several times with no change.
Thanks!

Hi-
Well, if you know someone who has a Mac, or, if you have another machine, try the disc in another machine. There is a possibility that the disc itself is bad. I would consider this a strong possibility, since the drive recognizes other DVD's, and the Panther install disc.
If the disc tests good in another machine, then you will need to consider replacing the drive for a newer model. A new combo drive is only about $30-$40. The Pioneer DVR-112 would be a good consideration.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Pioneer/DVR112DBK/
As for the "helpful" not working, there seems to be a problem within the system (known by the hosts, yet allowed to continue....). For now, I will gladly accept your thanks! (and, you're welcome!)

Canon MP180 scanner won't be recognized after Mavericks upgrade

Dear Apple Support Communities members,
My Canon MP180 scanner won't be recognized after Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) upgrade: neither in Image Capture nor in MP180 standalone app.
The printer works well though.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.
Best wishes,
Yves

Well...
I asked Canon support and got the answer that OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) was not supported.
I am kindly being suggested either to downgrade from 10.9 or to buy another scanner. Cool.

ITunes won't recognize IPHONE after new computer loaded from TM...

Hey all:
I had an unfortunate meltdown of my reliable 5 year old macbook and the logic board fried; luckily I was able to save the HD and when I bought my new macbook pro (wow, what an upgrade) and loaded it from the drive via 'transfer' on initialization, my ITUNES could no longer recognize either my IPHONE or my IPAD; I can still see the backups in the preference pane, but have been unable to have ITUNES acknowledge their presence. Any idea? Thanks
Ger

Additional details. I plugged in my phone, it was recognized and syncing as expected, but was stuck. After about 30 minutes I stopped the sych. That is when my problems occurred a few days ago. I have rebooted, re-installed, followed the directions on apple support - including the 6 step uninstall and the stuff following msconfig.

ITunes Match won't recognize my MBA equipped with a new SSD

Hi,
Here's the situation: I replaced the SSD in my late 2010 MBA to add storage space. Everything went perfectly well and I have been using it for weeks, no problem whatsoever with any of my iCould stuff - calednar entries, contacts etc. as everything was transferred over by making a back-up of the old SSD onto the new one and re-instlaling Mavericks to the new one.
I also have been using iTunes Match for years and love it: ATV, IOS devices are all connected and work perfectly. Until I tried using iTunes Match on the MBA equipped with the new SSD. Note that my iTunes music (not the library file) sits in an external drive connected to my Home network which I don't currentl have access to. That's also teh reason why I signed up for Match: once synced, I didn't have to connect to tht drive and could travel while still having access to all my music.
The library only sees two local songs that were downloaded recenrly after I purchased them on the iTunes Store. I'm still using the same Apple ID nothing changed, but iTunes isn't showing any of my iTunes Match songs in there. I checked Match had been turned on (it is), I checked that I didn't max out on the number of devices (I haven't) and even checked availability of iTunes Match in other countries (temporarily in France), but otherwise residing in the US.
So now, when I try to "add this computer" to iTunes Match, it gives me the following error:
Only one library can be matched at a time. If you continue, the other iTunes Match session will be stopped and this computer's library will be matched instead.
=> Seeing that the "old" library and the "new" one technically come from the same Mac (only now it has a new SSD drive), I'm at a loss and scared to have all of my previously synced/matched songs deleted from itunes Match if I only sync the two local files that were just downloaded/purchased. <=
Would appreciate any help or suggestions please.
Thank you in advance!

Disc drive fails and iTunes won't recognize CD after burning

Hi all,
I'm having a strange issue with iTunes on my work computer, a Dell Optiplex GX280 with Windows XP installed, iTunes version 8.2.1.6.
About half of the time when I burn an audio CD, iTunes (or perhaps my computer) seems to have a problem with the final burn step. It goes through the whole process just fine, but after the countdown hits 0:00, I don't hear the 'your CD is finished' chime from iTunes, nor does the disc appear on the lefthand menu. The CD drive also doesn't respond at this point - the drive won't eject via iTunes or by me pressing the button (it will hard-eject with a paperclip-in-the-hole trick, but still doesn't respond after that). The only way I can get the disc to eject is by restarting the computer, at which point it will eject. After a restart, the AutoPlay will identify the burned CD as a blank disc, but if I try to re-burn it in iTunes, it gives me the error message "This is not a blank CD." (and of course the burn wasn't successful - it won't play in a stereo or in the computer). I'm wasting a lot of CD-Rs this way! :-/
I'm stumped. It seems to me that something in that final step of the burn process is causing the CD drive to fail, but I'm not sure what I can do fix the problem. Could it be the brand of disc I'm using, or something with the actual disc drive? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Okay, apologies for the duplicate thread - I tried searching and didn't see anyone with a similar issue, but now I see a thread down the page with the same issue of the disc not ejecting. I'll try WMP and see if that works any better...

ITunes won't recognize iPhone after swapping At&t SIM cards

I had an old At&t phone that was dead that I wanted to import the contacts on its SIM card into my iPhone. First I just popped out my current SIM card and placed the old one into my iPhone. Before I imported the contacts to my iPhone I connected to my Mac, and iTunes did not recognize the phone. I did the phone reset and restarted the computer to no avail. I put my current SIM card back into the phone and did all the same things and still nothing. After that, I followed the instructions on this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747?viewlocale=en_US
That worked. So I then backed up my iPhone since it was acting screwy, and then popped out the SIM card and put the older SIM card in and imported the contacts. When I tried to connect my phone, it did not recognize again. I re-did every single step that I listed above multiple times and no luck. I went into the phone's control panel and just did a total wipe/reset. When my phone gave me the iTunes logo and USB image telling me to connect to iTunes to activate, iTunes still didn't recognize the phone. I uninstalled iTunes several times and have repaired permissions just for grins and still I can't get iTunes to recognize my phone. What gives??

Itunes won't recognize ipod after ipod software update

I have an Ipod Classic. My laptop is a PC running Windows XP. I have the latest ITunes software (10.5.2.11)
After updating my Ipod software through Itunes, Itunes no longer reads my Ipod.
When I connect the Ipod through the USB cord, the "Connected" screen appears on the Ipod, then the Ipod instantly goes to the "OK to disconnect" screen with the white disconnect bar, without prompting. All during this time, Itunes never recognizes my Ipod.
Also on the "My Computer" screen, the Ipod is only recognized for the brief instant that the Ipod "Connected" screen appears. When the Ipod goes to the "OK to disconnect" screen, the Ipod is no longer recognized on the "My Computer" screen.
I'm assuming restoring my Ipod to factory settings is the best way to fix this. But how do I restore my Ipod if Itunes will never recognize it?

Itunes still does not recognize my Ipod and disconnects it immediately, even after disabling the firewall and anti-virus protection.
Any other thoughts?

ITunes won't recognize iPod after trying to update to iOS 5?

Today I tried updating to iOS 5, and I had to update to iTunes 10.5, so while the update was downloading, I left my room, when I came back, iTunes said it was finished and I then decided to update my iPod to iOS 5.I had then decided to leave my room and when I came back, iTunes wasn't running anymore and my iPod had the "USB to iTunes" screen, so I tried plug in my iPod to my computer and since I'm on Windows XP, it then gave me the error noise and said that this driver didn't exsist, so I tried updating my drivers and it ended up not working, so then I tried re-installing iTunes 10.5 and then I got another message saying "Bonjour Services failed to install" then it said "Bonjour Services failed to start" then later in the installation it said "Apple Mobile Support failed to Start"
So now my iPod is stuck on that screen and my iTunes won't work.
*I'm running Windows XP 32-bit
*I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen 32gb
*I have not tried to jailbreak or do anything except use iTunes to import music

Same here: junk Apple upgrade has stopped me accessing many apps. It appears to have stalled out.
Is this the Steve Jobs legacy?
"The iPod ------- could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
What sort of error message is that?
It has just been through a complete restore and given the same message!
It has also lost a load of Apps that I have paid for and cannot use, nevermind material bought from the Apple Store.
What sort of rip off artists are these Apple dead beats?
Do I have to pay twice when they upgrade my Ipod?

ITunes Match won't recognize albums bought in another country as purchased

Hi all,
momentarely I'm quite dissapoibted with iTunes match.
I have a library with 26k titles - over 2'700 bought in iTunes, the rest is my digitalized CD-Library or bough via amazon.
in 2010 I moved from germany to switzerland and changed the country in iTunes - the ID is the same.
Now it seems that all my purchases in the german iTunes store aren't recognized by match as purchase.
correct would it look like this:
     26'783 total
-       2'752   purchased in iTunes
=    24'031atch (clearly under the stupid 25k limit)
how iTunes calculates:
     26'783 total
-        702 recognized as purchase by iTunes-match
=   26'063 to match (over the stupid 25k limit)
I contacted iTunes-support.
I told them my suspicion that it may be related to the move, she said that it wouldn't matter only to correct this statement after a couple of weeks.
After a month she wrote me that this is a fact and is not be seen as a problem.
Pointing out that this is clearly not what was advertised, she answered me:
"I want to point out, that 25'000 songs are a fair amount and I suggest to renew your songs, and exchange older ones with new ones."
I find that answer for a represantive of af a music download store quite arrogant, and told her that I now would like to speak to her Teamleader, which she denied with the comment, that she is as high as it gets.
Has anyone else experienced something like this or an idea how to solve this?
cheers
Erik

There is no neat solution, this is how iTunes Match operates.
One work around would be to export on CD and re-import (for the purchases) and to re-rip for existing CDs - it will work but is time consuming.
