  • My iTunes on my PC does not recognize iPod & automatically rejects it. HELP

    I recently downloaded the iTunes update 9.0.2 & now when I try to sync my iPod to iTunes, it connects & then ejects automatically. The iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
    I went to the Apple store where "the genius" couldn't solve the problem.
    He connected it to kg mb, kg usb cable, ran disc facility, checked in system
    profiler which was detected by USB ports & HDD. He reset the iPod & put it into disc mode but this failed to solve the problem. It still wouldn't sync
    on my PC.
    He proposed restoring my iPod which would wipe out all of my 11,000 songs. He said there's no guarantee that restoring the iPod would solve the syncing problem. In other words, I now have a functioning iPod with 11,000 songs that WON'T sync where if I restore it I might end up with a blank (no songs) iPod that won't sync & whose only use will be that of a paperweight. One of the other Apple employees (non-genius) said that would be an unlikely scenario but I don't want to take the chance..
    ANY HELP or OPTIONS will be vastly appreciated!!

    I was wondering if you managed to resolve this issue?
    I'm having the exact same problem. I can charge my ipod with my lighter adapter in my car but no itunes on anyones computer will recognize it.
    Thanks for any help!

  • TS1369 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?

    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.

  • 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!!!!

  • 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.

    Have you updated iTunes with the absolute latest software?  If you have not in a long time, your iPad won't be recognized.

  • Why windows 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th Generation?

    Why window 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th generation?  and of course iTunes either.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (it applies to win 8)
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router.  It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.

    I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router.  It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.  When I try it responds that the password is invalid.  I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

    Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

  • HT1347 I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke.  iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode.  One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3

    I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke.  iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode.  One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3.  iTunes sorts them by month/day/year.  How can I fix that?

    The weird thing is, it worked before. I encoded all the videos previously and had them all listed and didn't encounter this problem, but I noticed I'd forgotten to decomb/detelecine the videos so I deleted everything and re-encoded it all. AFter filling the tags out and setting poster frames again I was thinking of making life easier by just pasting the same artwork for every episode, so I did, but didn't like the results so I deleted it again (I selected every video, used Get Info and pasted the artwork that way).
    I think it was after this that the problem started to occur. In any case I've been through every episode and made sure the name, series, episode and episode id fields are all filled in with incremental values and they are. I even made sure the Sort Name field was filled in on every video. But this didn't work either.
    So, thinking another restart was needed I deleted every video again. Re-encoded them all, again. Set the tags for every video and poster frame again. Finished it all off nicely, checked cover flow and was highly annoyed to find it was STILL showing the same two pieces of art work for every video as shown in that image I posted.
    Ultimately, I wouldn't care so much that cover flow is screwing up like this as I always intended to sort by program anyway so it would only ever display one piece of artwork for an entire series of videos, however where-as when it was working it picked the artwork for the first episode of a series to display, its instead picking one of the latter episodes. I can't seem to find any way of choosing what artwork I want displayed.

  • Itunes 11.1.5 does not recognize the switch to 64 bit mode from 32... won't open

    itunes 11.1.5 does not recognize the switch to 64 bit mode from 32... won't open

    Is there some background story to this that might give us some clue?  An error message quoted exactly? Did you just do an update?
    Try starting iTunes with the shift key held down.  If it starts it is probably some old plugin presenting problems.
