ITunes no longer recognizing my iPods

Yesterday I began receiving messages from iTunes stating it cannot recognize the iPhone I am connecting to iTunes. Problem is I am not connecting an iPhone -  am connecting my iPod Touch. The iTunes version is 11.4 and the iPod OS is 6.1.6.
Does this newest update assume everything we connect will be an iPhone?
Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks so much for this info. I had done all of these step except trying a different USB port. I connected to the one open port (directly connecting to the iMac) and it worked just fine. I also connected through the USP port on my keyboard and that worked as well. I have to believe my USB hub might be slowly losing function in that I had no troubles until recently. The iPod would not get recognized and I discovered it was not charging either.
Best to one and all for reading my post. Thanks to Limnos for the excellent tip!

  • I lost my apps after changing my operating system. iTunes no longer recognized my iPod Touch. Will I ever get my apps back or be able to sync ANYTHING ever again?

    When we went from Vista to Windows 7 and tried to sync the iPod Touch - I lost my apps. Can these be recovered somehow?

    Follow these instructions in the link..It worked for me as I used the same account to log in and to download apps.If you had purchased apps earlier, your purchase history willbe available in account history. So there is nothing to worry about. You'll not have to pay for ur apps again if you have bought it earlier. Plus,you'll have to authorize your pc if itunes does not recognize ur device. Go to 'store->authorize this pc' in itunes.

  • Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.

    Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.  Would a full reset of my iPod resolve this?  The iPod is still working, I just can't update apps or add songs...  The computer says that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctions, and Windows does not recognize it.  iTunes is not seeing the iPod at all....

    Try here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You have a driver/service problems and that is covered in the above.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

  • Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

    Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4  and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones.  What do i do?  Should i uninstall new update?  and how?

    I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

  • After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    Okay, update on my previous message:
    I have replaced my iTunes-folder with a back-up version of the old one. Luckily this turned my podcasts back to normal and replaced the new 'library' with the old one.
    This also solved the problem of having to erase your iPod or iPhone, which is no longer necessary.
    So my solution is:
    1. back-up your iTunes folder (located at 'User/Music/iTunes/')
    2. remove iTunes 9.0.3 completely (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
    3. drag the iTunes folder back to the Music folder
    4. Re-install iTunes 9.0.3.
    It worked for me.

  • ITunes no longer recognizing iPod

    Following a total re-install of MacBook operating system, including an update of iTunes to 10.4, iPod touch was no longer recognized. iTunes 10.3.1 was restored, but now it also is not recognized. Another oddity is that I can not delete podcasts from Library.

    Have you tried resetting your iPod?
    Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together until the Apple logo appears on your iPod's screen.
    Do this several times, and see if there is any difference.
    Try putting your iPod into Disk mode, and connecting it to your computer. For more info, see this: Putting your iPod into disk mode

  • Does iTunes no longer support older iPods?

    Does anyone know if Apple has discontinued support for older ipods (in my case, a 2nd gen classic, 20gb, released in 2002).  ITunes will no longer recognize this ipod since iTunes ver10.6.  I thought maybe iTunes 11 would fix it, but it has not.  This is on a mac mini, 2009 edition.  I then tried it on a PC laptop which still has iTunes 10.5, and the ipod was recognized. 
    I don't use the old ipod much, but I would still like to change the music on it from time to time.
    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Huh. I just downloaded iTunes 11 a couple days ago, and my iPod (a 2nd generation iPod nano, 4 GB) still works. I think it should work.
    What I did, is I had my iPod connected back when I converted from like, iTunes 10.5 to iTunes 10.6, I think maybe the iTunes can then be recognized? I know when I had iTunes 9.(something...), and I tried connecting to a computer with 10.9 (I think. well, one of those), it wouldn't work. So maybe, you have to go step by step? Although my iPod wasn't connected when I was upgrading to iTunes 11, so that's just a theory.
    Try going on the PC laptop and then keeping your iPod connected when upgrading to iTunes 10.6, see if that works

  • Itunes no longer recognizes  my ipod touch.

    I just updated Itunes (to 10.5.2.11) and now my old 2nd gen ipod touch is no longer recognised by the program. is my device simply too old to be supported anymore? if it is helpful, the Ipod will not update to IOS 5 either.

    Have you looked at these:
    Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Do you have another computer to try?  this is just to help see if the iPod is the problem. 

  • ITunes no longer reading my iPod

    This is my first post, so please tell me if this should go in another forum.
    Anway, out of the blue today, iTunes can no longer read my iPod. I've looked around the web for similar complaints, but haven't come across a solution. I did see that a recent iTunes update caused quite a few problems, but I hadn't had any until today. Should I uninstall iTunes and try downloading and installing it again? If I did that, and it worked, would the music on my iPod show up, or would it try to wipe it clean? I've got a LOT of songs on it and don't won't to risk having it erased. Thanks in advance.

  • ITunes is not recognizing my iPod so I cannot sync my music, but I can use home sharing and it will work... How do I make iTunes recognize my iPod touch?

    I've had my iPod touch for over a year now, and I haven't used it or iTunes in a while. I updated iOS on my iPod and updated to the newest version of iTunes earlier. Now that I have put some new music in my music library (not from iTunes), iTunes will not recognize my iPod, but if I turn on Home Sharing, it will sync to my iPod... Which would be fine, but I have to have Wi-Fi all the time for that to work, and sometimes I don't have Wi-Fi when I leave my house. So how do I make iTune recognize my iPod?
