ITunes won't recognize any of my devices after latest update.

This is pretty rediculous, none of my devices (iPad and iPod) will show up when connected to iTunes since the last update. They show up fine on my computer, why must I try to figure this out because Apple can't test their stuff before releasing it. I guess once they have our money who cares, they'll just release the newer model next year and everyone will buy it. I've tried for hours and I can't get them to show up.

  • ITunes won't recognize iPod nano 7th gen. after recent update

    I just downloaded the latest update for Itunes (11.1.2) and all of a sudden iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod nano anymore.
    It's a brand new one, 7th generation, only bought last week, and before the update all was functioning well. Windows does recognize the iPod so I don't know what the problem is.
    Things I did to solve the problem: delete iTunes from and reinstall it again to my laptop and restart the computer a couple of times.
    Anyone have an idea what to do or what the problem is?

    My IPod Nano will charge when connected to my computer but it won't come up on My Computer or iTunes. So I can't update the songs. I've already tried reseting the iPod. Does anybody know what I can do to fix it.

  • My iTunes won't recognise my iPhone or iPod after latest update?

    I downloaded the newest version of iTunes after being prompted to by a pop up, Since downloading and installing it my iPod 'Isn't recognised' by iTunes and has also wiped all my music off my iPod. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times but nothing is happening at all. Anyone have any advice at all because I'm at the end of my tether here trying to fix this

    This possible resolution was posted in a previous thread on the same issue:
    Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    connect your USB device
    if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
    Alternative, you could try this alternative installer:
    iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    which is actually the 32-bit iTunes application with a 64-bit installer - although it is primarily intended to address problems with playback, QuickTime compatibility, Outlook integration and issues with other third-party applications, it may be appropriate if your issue is related to an inconsistency between something within Windows and the "full" 64-bit version of iTunes.

    itunes will not recognize any of my devices when I try to sync them. How cn I fix this?

    Hello, bone61. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  If the issue persists try all remaining steps.

  • ITunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update.

    iTunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update. I have tries reinstalling, but it comes up with it again. I have uninstalled every Apple program and reinstalled them but still the same.

    What's the precise text of your message, Callum? There's a few different ones I can think of that mention reinstalling iTunes.

  • OS X Yosemite 10.0 won't recognize any of my devices

    No matter what I do, and no matter how many times I restarted my Mac the New update won't allow my computer to recognize ANY of my devices connected via USB.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Try the SMC and PRAM reset.

    If no joy, you may need to update all of your third party software if there are OS X Yosemite updates that can be applied. You may need to go the third party developers' websites if there are no updates through the Mac App Store. Update all of your Web browser Internet plugins, also. Also, if you have any third party devices, like keyboards, mice, drawing tablets, hubs, card readers, etc, you need to update the drivers for these devices to OS X Yosemite compatible versions by going to the help/support sections of each device makers' websites.

  • Itunes won't recognize any of my music folders! Help!?

    When I go to "File -> Add Folder To Library" And I go to my music folder, it only shows the "iTunes" folder and none of my other folders what so ever.
    This is ******* me off. Can anyone help?
    In the past, I've been able to go to files, add folder to library, select one or multiple files/folders and it would add all the music/cover art/whatever to my library.
    Now, it won't even recognize any other folders on my computer that aren't all about itunes or my ipod.
    HELP ME.
    Here's a screenshot I took of my issue:

  • Itunes won't recognize ipad as a device

    iTunes recognises my ipod which is great, it shows under My Devices on the left of iTunes.  But when I plug in my iPad Mini I get an error message saying the device is unknown and to unplug it and plug it in again but that doesn't work.  It won't give any instructions as to how you get iTunes (on the PC) to recognise the iPad.

    Which version of Itunes do you have?

  • Itunes does not recognize any of my devices

    I connect my iPhone or iPad(s) and Itunes does not recognize they are there. I have Itunes latest version. My last backup I was able to do was back in January. I tried to delete and reload itunes and that does not help. My computer recognizes my devices are connected and I can back up my photots. Just Itunes fails to recognize they are connected. ALL my devices have the latest software.

  • HT1351 my itunes won't recognize my ipod in devices when I have it connected to my computer? How do I get it to sync? it is a ipod classic

    I have a ipod classic and my itunes will not recognize it under devices when I have it plugged into my computer. I have restored the ipod and itunes is up to date on my computer. I have not been able to get my music to sync onto this ipod. Thanks for the help

    If the iPod was not recognized by iTunes, how was the Restore performed?
    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar.  This may be confusing to long-time iTunes users.  If you don't see the sidebar on the left side, go up to the menu bar.  Under Views, select Show Sidebar.
    With the sidebar visible, do you see the iPod under DEVICES?

  • Won't start-up, can't reinstall after latest update

    I was running the latest update that included a os x combined update and a firmware update. All was going well, and then the laptop restarted with the firmware update progress screen. The computer restarted abruptly, and never started up correctly since.
    Here's where I am now:
    The boot process is very slow and takes much longer then usual. Eventually my desktop background loads, along with the desktop icons. The menubar on top loads too. The dock does not load, and I can't open anything through the desktop icons. I can use quick-preview (pressing spacebar), but can't open any application. None of the dropdown lists work on the menu bar. Occasionally, the screen switched to black and blue and back to the usual desktop.
    Nothing works, opens, or can be accessed. Even the power button works, I need to shutdown with shift-control-option-power.
    I tried to reinstall osx, or at least access disk utilities to make some repairs.
    If I press option during the boot with the CD in, nothing happens, and I wind up the same position as described above.
    If I press C instead, I get a kernel panic during the boot process.
    I tried the CD on a different mac, and it worked fine.
    I'm stuck!!! Can't reinstall, can't fix, can't access!!!
    Any ideas or experiences with fixing this?

  • Firefox won't open in Windows 8.1 after latest update failed to install

    Latest update for firefox failed to install.
    Now, when I try to open firefox, I get the hourglass circle and then....Nothing. Check the processes and it is showing as a background process, but not doing anything. No error message, no crash alert.
    So, I uninstalled firefox. Download the installer. Open the installer and...nothing. Again the process is there but nothing is happening.
    Tried killing all processes and rebooting and trying the re-install. Still nothing.
    The only thing I haven't checked is Nortons Firewall but I thought I might as well ask while I am at work if there is anything else I should check.
    Was working fine until this update failed. On Win8.1

    I would try restoring preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5
    If that doesn't work, a Clean and Reinstall might do it...
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • 2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

    So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
    Never had a problem.
    1.
    Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
    iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
    Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
    iTunes Helper is used during startup.
    Everything seems fine.
    Any help?
    2.
    I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
    I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
    They haven't been transfering over.
    So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
    My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
    I do not know why.
    No idea how to fix it.
    If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
    I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
    Can anyone please help me with any of this?
    I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
    Thanks so much.

    hey mill1640,
    Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
    If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
    Many thanks,
    Josh

  • ITunes won't recognize iPod nor iPad since upgrade to 10.6.4

    After upgrading to 10.6.4, iTunes no longer recognizes any of my devices. iPhoto does, so the issue has to be within iTunes. I'm current, with 10.0.1.
    Any advice?

    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?
