Itunes will no longer recognize my 5th generation ipod

Itunes will not recognize my ipod (running Windows Vista. My sons' iphone does not have a problem so it is probably my ipod.
Out of date software on the ipod, perhaps?

Did this iPod previously work with this computer (and the current Windows installation), and it is no longer working for some reason?  Or is this the first time you are connecting this iPod to this computer?
I would try doing a reset of the iPod while it is connected your computer.

Even if the iPod's software is out-of-date, it should still be recognized by iTunes.

  • TS1363 Updated to iTunes to latest version 11.1.4.62 on my Windows 8 machine.  iTunes no longer recognizes my 5th Gen Ipod.  It does however recognize my 80gb Ipod Video.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as directed (twice) & rebooted pc. no luck.

    I just updated iTunes to the 11.1.4.62 (as the pop up directed me to) on my Windows 8 machine. As a result iTunes will no longer recognize my 5th generation Ipod Nano (yes two).   I receive a pop up saying "Ipod has been detected but could not be identified properly"   I've followed the recommendations seveal times: a) disconnected and reconnected. b) rebooted computer c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes d) tried different cables e) tried different USB porst f) rebooted Ipod.... the window keeps popping up like a middle finger (you get the point)
    iTUnes WILL however,  recognize my 4th gen Nano and my 80gb Video (classic) without problem
    Needless to say, I'm frustrated and ticked off over all of this wasted time.
    Anyone solved this issue yet?
    Any good suggestions?
    Please advise
    Kindest regards,

    c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Itunes will no longer recognize my phone

    I just bought the iPhone 5c. When I plugged it in to my old itunes it synced all of my old music. I wanted to start fresh so i made an icloud account and deleted all of those songs. I then signed on with my new account. After this, itunes will no longer display my phone as a device. I tried everything from reinstalling itunes to checking the Apple Mobile Device services and still nothing. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong so I can get some music?!

    1-reinstall itunes(to last version)
    2-reset all setting from settings(on iPhone)
    3-change port of usb to your Computer

  • Itunes freezes when I connect 30g 5th generation ipod

    I hope someone can help.
    I've got a 30g 5th generation ipod which Ive had no problems with until recently but now when I connect it to my laptop itunes opens as normal but then doesn't respond. itunes doesn't appear to recognise my ipod and it is completely frozen it won't even close down.
    itunes works fine when my ipod isn't connected and my ipod is fine when it's not connected.
    I've downloaded the latest version itunes that didn't help and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ipod drivers that hasn't worked. I don't know what to try next.

    Frozen screen on iPod. This happened for the first time since I have my iPod (3 years). I too was wondering if it had something to do with the latest release of iTunes 8.2 (23). The "Do not Disconnect" screen appeared on the iPod, and ITunes wouldn't even recognize it. After a lot of frustrating attempts, I did the Select-Menu reboot and got out of that screen and just unplugged the iPod. Thankfully all my playlists and library remained intact. Oddly enough, my little 1GB shuffle came up in the iTunes menu but all the music was gone. Both iPods were fully charged.

  • My computer running Windows 8.1 no longer recognizes my 7th Generation Ipod Nano.  I have removed and reinstalled the latest ITunes software and it still doesn't recognize my Ipod.

    I previously installed my Ipod Nano 7th generation in Itunes, Windows 8.1.  When I have recently connected, Itunes does not recognize it.  I removed and reinstalled the latest Itunes software, but no success.  Message says that Itunes sees an Ipod is connected, but does not recognize it.  The USB connection is working fine, as I recharged the Ipod without problem.

    Hello Lynn,
    The article linked below details a number of troubleshooting steps that can help get iTunes to properly recognize your iPhone.

  • ITunes will no longer copy music to my iPod 80GB classic.

    When I select a song and drag it from the library to the iPod, I no longer get the green cross in a circle.  The only way to get music on to the iPod is to autofill it. Any ideas? I've done the normal restore, delete etc.

    In sounds like you are trying to manually manage your iPod's contents.  Have you double checked to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is still ticked from under your iPod's Summary configuration tab in iTunes?

  • ITunes Will No Longer Sync

    I have an iPhone and iPad and today iTunes will not longer recognize either or will not sync with PC or update. I am not sure how to procede. Any suggestions out there. Worst case I delete all of itunes and begin again. but will lose music, correct?

    I still have not resolved this issue. My iPhone is now back to being able to sync, but iPad is not. I am thinking about just returning my new iPad if it is going to be this much trouble. It will do me absolutly no good if I cannot sync. I do not want to have to uninstall and reinstall. I did that once and lost all my music even though I back up. Then to pick and choose apps again from library and place them seems like too much work. Very frustrated that itunes will not run both for me...
    If anyone has any ideas for me let me know. If I do not have this resolved by Wednesday then I am returning iPad.

  • Does anyone know a converter from the new iTunes TV/movie file type to one that will work on my 5th generation iPod video?

    I just tried to load some new TV shows from my iTunes onto my 5th generation iPod video and it says the video format is not supported. I currently have dozens of TV shows and movies on the iPod, I just wanted to put some new stuff on there. So I need to know if there is anyway of converting the new iTunes video format into one that will run on my 5th generation iPod.
    Thnaks in advanced.

    When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
    The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.
