Itunes won't recongize my ipod since upgrade

Since I upgraded to itunes 8 itunes will no longer recognize my ipod.
How can I go back to itunes 7.7? I can't use 8 at all.

They don't seem to be that helpful on this message board but there are some websites out there that have older versions, just google (older versions itunes) that worked for me.
It takes some trials and errors to load the older itunes but it will work. Apple is very picky about not letting you use older versions so installing is a bit annoying. Also depending on which Ipod you have the newest will not work on the older itunes.
Good Luck!!

  • Itunes won't play any media since upgrading to 10.6.3

    I have had my laptop since christmas last year and recently had virus issues so I restored my computer from a back-up and it cleared that problem, but about a week after the restore I noticed iTunes stopped playing media, it would say it is playing but the bar on the song wouldn't move and stayed at 0:00, after that I uninstalled it and reinstalled the program to realize I still have the same issue and this happened a month or so since updating to iTunes 10.6.3. Next I noticed Windows Media Player and other programs like iMesh keep encountering errors while trying to play media files. Thinking this is related to the system/software restore, I restored the software to an even earlier date (7/22/12) and still have this issue. My speakers work fine and youtube plays perfectly as do system sounds for notifications an anything else, but what can cause only these media players to not play anything and say something is playing but the timer isn't movine? I first noticed nothing was playing when I was recording a video and I went to play it back and had no audio with and without headphones..... I hope someone has an easy fix for this, or atleast the iTunes portion of my issue....

    Do you have the latest version of iTunes? A good place to post is either the iTunes forum:

  • ITunes won't recognise iphone 3Gs since upgrading to Leopard

    I have just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard (all updates are done) and now neither my or my wife's iPhone 3Gs are being recognized by iTunes. I have run disc utilities and restated everything. Sometimes I wish I left things alone! Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers. Steve

  • ITunes won't recosginse my iPod for a factory reset

    My iPod has been booting up then shutting down constantly till the battery runs out since yesterday, so I followed all the knowledge base articles and finally came to this
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    which seems to be the only thing left to try before it goes back to Apple. However, it requires me to click on the "summary tab" to reset to factory settings but I can't do that because iTunes won't recognise my iPod, it just says:
    "Itunes cannot read the contents of iPod "MONKEYSIPO". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings".
    Windows does recognise it, however. Someone has posted that doing a quick format will reset the iPod the same way but I'm not conviced by that and don't fancy invalidating my warranty, so can someone confirm that or help me with the iTunes problem?
    Frankensteined Athlon2.3   Windows XP Pro  

    Never mind. I had to uninstall the iPod using the installation CD then uninstall iTunes 7, reinstall iTunes 6.05, reinstall the iPod updater software so I could restore the factory settings. Uber faff and 6 odd hours of installing, forum searching and rebooting my PC
    Note to apple: Total integration of features isn't necesarily a good thing. Get your support sorted.

  • I deleted some Apple software, now iTunes won't recognize my iPod

    So earlier today I removed Bonjour, and the Apple Mobile Device from my computer. Now all of a sudden iTunes won't recognize my iPod, but windows does. Could this issue be related to removing the software from my computer?

    Take a look at this web page and see if it helps:
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
    Good luck.

  • ITunes won't recognise my iPad since the latest update.

    iTunes won't recognise my iPad since the latest update. I have tried the solution on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, twice over but with no result.
    I have repaired each of the iTunes elements and restarted both the computer and the iPad several times.
    I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit operating system.
    Processor: Intel (R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
    iOS 8.0.2 iPad 64GB

    Hi Skydiver119
    Thanks for your reply. That was what the solution I found on that link I posted, except it said to include the 'Bonjour' too. I've uninstalled everything, downloaded the latest iTunes, reinstalled and restarted the computer twice, but it still won't recognise the iPad. I've also rebooted the iPad each time.
    Any other ideas on what might work?
    Thanks in advance

  • IPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

    iPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

    I would manually go over each smtp setting and compare it with the mail providers guide
    and if they were 100% the same then I would
    get in touch with the phone company to verify if they were blocking the ports being
    used by the mail service
    there is no general issue with ios5 removing out going mail services or blocking ports

    - First see if resetting the iPod will make it visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod.
    - Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible.  For recovery mode see:
