ITunes on xp no longer recognizes iPod

When I plug my ipod into my computer (either in the dock or directly) the ipod makes a "bip bip bip" sound, then does nothing. The ipod is charging, but never shows up in iTunes. I've been as far as I can through the "five Rs" (can't restore since the ipod doesn't show up in itunes).
There was a recommendation about changing a setting on the iPod services, but mine was already set that way.
With all the postings about various problems with iTunes 7, is Apple planning to update iTunes and solve the problem? Should I try to go back to iTunes 6?

i was trying so hard to be funny i forgot to say how mine mounted after same problem as you----RIGHT click my computer in start menu --select manage--- select
"services shortcut "in the new window ---- search the list of services(local) for "ipod service". now plug in your ipod and wait till its tryed to locate ipod. when it is--- STOP "ipodservice" in window with list of services (left pane of window has stop option in blue print) wait 17 and one half seconds and then feel free to hit the restart option in blue print -hope ya didnt try this allready:)

  • ITunes no longer recognize iPod or iPad, won't burn cds.

    I've recently updated iTunes and it no longer recognises either my iPod or iPad mini. It also generates the "Registry settings used for importing and burning cds are missing etc" message on opening the program.
    So far I've tried:
    - Re-installing iTunes several times
    - Stopping and restarting the Apple mobile device service
    - Following the steps in the "iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes" troubleshooting guide, going into the registry key and adding in the GEARAspiWDM iTunes filter device.
    - And reinstalling iTunes a couple more times
    This doesn't seem to have had any effect - what's the next step I should take? I'm using Windows 8.

    eta - I've also been following the steps from here but I've been unable to empty the Temp directory, even with no apps runnings, and attemping to verify the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed failed - the driver specified in the fix came up with an error that it wasn't compatible with my version of Windows, and there is no drivers folder in
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\.

  • ITunes and iCloud no longer recognize Outlook on my computer

    Since I got my iPhone several years ago, I have used Outlook via iTunes to sync my calendar, contacts, and other information.
    I currently have an iPhone 4 with OS 5; I unfortunately have iTunes 10.5.2 running on a Windows 7 operating system.
    I say "unfortunately" because despite my satisfaction with how these things all worked together, I am now totally fed up with Apple and it's supposed updates.
    Today is Dec. 14, 2011. Two days ago, Apple released an "update" to supposedly address an audio issue. This morning, my computer and iPhone spoke to each other using iTunes -- I chose not to use iCloud when I downloaded the new OS 5.0 because I was not satisfied that it was consistently updating what I needed on my phone. It seems all it wants to do is update to iCloud.
    This morning, an Apple alert about a new update showed up on my screen and I said okay to install because in the past there have been been few issues. NONE have caused my iTunes to insist there is no supported calendar program or to not show Outlook as an option for contacts.
    This morning pre-update: everything worked as it was supposed to; after the update: NOTHING is working the way it is supposed to.
    This ***** and is stupid, APPLE. It is very easy to get another kind of smartphone and these are all catching up with iPhone.
    Issuing updates that make the system not work and WASTE HOURS OF MY TIME is no way to keep me as a customer or a way to encourage me to buy more apple products.
    IN SUMMARY:
    iPhone 4 with OS 5.0
    iTunes 10.5.2 with Dec. 14 update
    NO LONGER RECOGNIZES OUTLOOK ON MY SYSTEM.
    I have wasted hours trying to fix this.

    Hi, Linda from Folsom. Thanks for the message.
    While I do run iolo system mechanic, my issues did not start until *after* I downloaded iTunes 10.5.2.
    On the same date I updated iTunes, I also downloaded a Java update. I did these one after the other so didn't now which updated started the issue.
    I later found that my issues were also related to iCloud usage for syncing, which I resolved this week by eliminating iCloud from my life (other than backing up my iPhone).
    I posted something in the community about how I undid everything iCloud did to my Outlook, but my solution is only for those who no longer want to use iCloud with Outlook.
    That's an interesting point about the iolo system because I didn't have any issues at all with it (until I updated iTunes).
    I had a very similar system setup at the time as you do:
    iPhone 4 with OS 5.0.1
    Outlook 2007 (now I have 2010 version)
    iTunes 10.5.2
    Windows 7 home premium (now I have the Windows 7 ultimate version).
    I will be interested to hear if your iolo system caused some issues as I do like using it for clean up on my hard drive. When I couldn't use Outlook, I went to "JustAsk.com" and paid the small fee to find out that you can repair office from the control panel programs list; this is what solved my issue. 
    If you haven't tried it, it's pretty easy:
    Open Control Panel
    Select Programs
    Find Office on the programs list
    RIGHT click on it
    Select repair
    Windows installer runs, then restart
    After I did that, iPhone could see Outlook again. That could be where the registry issue is happening with iolo.
    Hope this is helpful,
    Cecilia

  • ITunes and Windows will not recognize iPod Nano 3rd Generation

    I've been on this ALL day. Neither Windows or iTunes will recognize iPod. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes.... I don't know how many times.
    iPod is new. Was ok to sync music and photos last week.. but now nothing. Any ideas anybody... this is driving me nuts.
    When plugging in iPod - it beeps and then right away says it is ok to disconnect and beeps again... and iPod goes on... and then charges up.
    I was skeptical in buying an iPod for the kids... and now am disappointed. Please somebody... change my mind!!!!

    I've been having a similar issue with my iPod. My iPod will not play songs. Basically, the song or podcast will appear on screen, but is stuck at 0:00 and will not play.
    When I connected my iPod to my computer, it was not recognized by iTunes and it did not appear in My Computer. I checked the Windows Device Manager, and the device did appear there. Strangely enough, the device did appear in My Computer as a removable disk only after I closed out Device Manager. I'm wondering if I need to restore my iPod. How do I do so without iTunes?

  • Itunes 11.3 won't recognize ipod 5th generation

    Itunes will not respond to my ipod touch 5 generation after I installed the latest update for the itunes software/program (itunes 11.3). However, my computer (Windows 8 PC) is able to detect my ipod. I've been searching the forum like crazy and trying the "solutions" I have found but none of them have worked
    Things that I have Tried to fix my problem
    This includes updating Apple Mobile Device Driver
    Resetting ipod
    Resetting Computer
    updating my ipod
    I've also uninstalled and reinstalled itunes
    Used a different cord (I'm using the one that came with my ipod so it is able to sync data)
    if you are telling me to go to iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes I have already looked there and tried those too. Please solve my problem or at least tell me how to get the previous version of itunes on my computer (itunes version 11.2.2). Apple please look into this problem- I'm sure there are a lot of people wanting a solution to this problem.

    Hi rickthegolfer123,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when your iPhone is not recognized in iTunes. There are some good troubleshooting steps however to help you get this resolved. The steps may be different depending if you are using an Apple computer or a Windows computer so I will include both articles.

  • ITunes no longer recognizes iPod after "Enable Disk Use"

    I enabled the disk use on my iPod and now iTunes won't recognize it, meaning it doesn't appear in the source window and I can't disable the disk use and sync. The iPod only appears in the device manager as a USB storage device, but not in My Computer; the iPod flashes Do Not Disconnect. I've tried the 5 rs. Any advice/wisdom, anyone? Thanks.

    In Device Manager, change the drive letter of the device, use M.

  • ITunes no longer recognizes iPod mini

    Things with my ipod mini have been going downhill lately. Along with reduced memory (down from 4G to 3.77G last time I checked) and a weaker battery life, then it had when I first bought it. Now for the first time, the ipod is NOT SHOWING UP IN iTUNES! I realise the thing is getting old (almost 2 years) but I'd really rather not replace it yet, until it totally craps out on me and stops working (is that time coming soon?).
    When the device was new and I connected it to my PC via the usb port, iTunes would open and the mini would be displayed on the left hand menu. Now it isn't showing up at all, I've given it some time, and it still isn't present. The mini beeped a few times when I first connected it, and the logo showed the cross circe with the "do not disconnect" logo. and then it went to the battery filling, only the graphic does not show the battery filling with the logo "charging" as it used to but instead the battery is 1/4 full and there is no movement in the graphic. Every once in a while it flashes back to the "do not disconnect" and beeps before returning to the battery graphic.
    The iPod is of no use to me if I can't update music on it, unless I want to listen to the same songs over and over, but I'd really like to be able to update them, that's what I bought it for. Last time I charged it via the usb port on the computer it had difficulty (it did show up though) and I thought it had to do with my music library finally exceeding the mini's limits. The mini wouldn't charge and instead kept trying to update the libray of music, when it was too much for it to handle. I managed to go around the obstacle by deleting music off of it and dragging new music from my library onto the mini's icon in the menu (then it was in the mini's music.
    After that incident I haven't had a need to update music on the mini and I have charged it using outside ports, which have work normally with the mini behaving like it used to and charging completely.
    I'm hope my post is understandable, I'm not a very technical person, so my language might be amatuerish. I really would like to enjoy my mini again though so any help is appriciated.
    Thanks, Ashley

    Update: I disconnected the mini for a while and just now tried re-connecting it. This time the ipod showed up in the menu after a minute or two. It still doesn't want to charge through the usb, but I can continue to use the wall port for that if I have to. Good news is I can now update my songs again =)

  • Mac and iTunes no longer recognizes ipod shuffle

    All of a sudden, my iTunes doesn't see my iPod shuffle (2nd gen) anymore. It also doesnt appear on the desktop.
    When I plug it in, the little orange light flashes, so it is charging. And the ipod itself still works.
    I tried all the steps in this document, including updating iTunes and restarting my mac. I know the USB works because the iPod charges.

  • Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

    Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation.  Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled.  I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

    the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

  • Itunes 8.0 will not recognize ipod on new computer

    Got a new computer and downloaded itunes 8.0 and itunes will not recognize my ipod classic. I was able to transfer old songs from old computer to the new one.

    OK, that just changed where future music will be added.
    You need to go back to the old PC and get the ITL file. Put it either on the new PC or the exHD. Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes and it should "see" all the music on your ex HD.

  • ITunes 6.0.5 Upgrade Recognizes ipod as "disk"

    S.O.S.
    After a successful upgrade to itunes 6.0.5, itunes now recognizes my ipod as "disk" with all my files missing. If I unplug my ipod from my computer, all the files are present and playable. I've tried updating ipod firmware, uninstalling/reinstalling itunes... I even tried installing itunes from the CD that was shipped with my ipod, but no dice.
    If I plug my ipod into my friends computer, it works fine. If I plug my friends ipod into my computer, it turns up as a disk.
    We're both running Windows XP.
    Anybody have the same problems?

  • Scion xB no long recognizes iPod

    I tried hooking up my iPod to my xB's stereo through the car's add-on iPod adapter last week only to discover that it no longer recognized my iPod. Previous to this, things were fine. This happened after I updated to the latest version of iTunes/iPod software (7.1.1). I've tried restoring my iPod as well as resetting it several times. No luck. The iPod still connects to my computer, so there has to be something wrong with the new iPod software. I sure hope Apple can fix this soon. I spent a wad of money on the Scion's adapter so I'd like to know who's problem this is . . . other than mine.
    Anyone else having the same problem?

    My problem isn't as severe. After updating my ipod software, it started hanging whenever it finished the last song on an album.
    After the last song finishes, it skips back to the first song on the album and then hangs, flashing the track number on & off e.g. "1/11". You can advance it to another track, but it is still hung. You can change to another artist or album, but it will not play.
    The only way to get it to start playing again is to menu back to "all songs" and then start playing the first one on the list. After that, you can navigate to another album, but it will hang again when it finishes the last song on that one too.
    I never had this problem before I updated the software, it worked perfectly in my xB. Apple????

  • Bought tv episodes from itunes, watched once, no longer on ipod

    I bought 14 tv episodes. They downloaded & synced fine on 4G touch. I watched some of them. The ones I have watched are no longer showing on ipod. They are showing in itunes so I synced again, still nothing. I didn't have this problem with my classic. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello tarheel90,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Double check your sync settings from under the *TV Shows* tab for your iPod in iTunes. Make sure it isn't set to sync only unwatched television episodes.

  • Itunes for mac won't recognize ipod but iTunes on parallels will

    Just upgraded itunes to 10.5 and purchased a new ipod classic (160gb). All my music is on my old macbook, but itunes won't recognize that the ipod is attached. Finder will, but iTunes won't. However, when I run iTunes in parallels desktop on the same mac, it recognizes the iPod and asks to sync. How do I get the mac itunes to recognize the ipod?

    Sorry for the late response. I realised my notifications are off. I've tried that. All my software is up to date, setting for wifi sync are all checked off. I spent 1 hour on the phone with Apple with no results. Most threads are about Windows PC. I run a a MacBook. Variables could be my Linksys router but i/ve played with the firewall settings and nothing. I have a range extender but all devices are using the same network. Any final ideas?

  • Itunes and computer does not recognize Ipod USB connection

    First off, I know this has been discussed over and over, but I am not getting any difinative answers so, I will start a new post. I have a Ipod mini and have had it for some time without any problems. Recently I added new music to Itunes and wanted to transfer it to my Ipod, but when I connect the USB cable it does will light up the screen to let me know that it has been connected, but it will not update the ipod and itunes will not recognize it and only a few times has it even charged the battery. I have tried to update itunes, update ipod (which didn't do any good since it is not being recognized), restored my ipod with play/menu, tried different usb outlets, and today I am going to get my sister's cable and try it. What am I doing wrong?!?!?!? I am going crazy about this. Thanks for any other suggestions.

    Finally, I got it to work again. This is what I did. I doubt this is what changed anything but I reset all of my settings back to factory settings on the Ipod as far as backlight, shuffle, ect. I don't think this is what helped, but who knows with these things. Then I plugged it into the computer and it did show that it was charging (usually it did not even recognize enough to charge). Then I tried a different USB cable from my sister's Ipod and the first thing it did was ask to update Ipod and I did (I had to to plug it in to the wall to complete update) then I plugged it back in my computer and it finally worked! My husband thought I was an idiot because I was cheering every time it recognized something until I was basically jumping up and down when everything was updated. For now everything is back to normal so I love my Ipod again. Although my sister will get my old USB cable back seeing that she dropped her Ipod in water and hers does not work at all. Which reminds me to start another post about that. Thanks for all the support.
