ITunes wont detect iPod.
Does anybody know how to get iTunes to detect my ipod without restarting my computer?
Whenever I connect my ipod to my computer and open iTunes it doesn't detect it(allthough the updater can detect it), until I restart my computer.
hi Chewy!
Whenever I connect my ipod to my computer and open iTunes it doesn't detect it(allthough the updater can detect it), until I restart my computer.
eerie ... but that seems consistent with something interfering with your ipodservice.exe or other itunes processes:
Background processes installed with iTunes 6 for Windows
the three items mentioned in that document launch on startup. so if there is a brief delay before the hypothetical interfering whatsit shuts one of them down again, you might be able to get a connection immediately after a restart.
lets make a quick observation (aimed at checking on whether something like that might be going on). reboot the computer. then open your Task Manager to the Processes Tab.
do you see an ipodservice.exe, an ituneshelper.exe and a qttask.exe in there?
love, b

My itunes wont detect ipod touch over wifi
i always use itunes wifi sync for syncing songs and movies into my ipod but yesterday i got the error of bonjour service problem
i had this error many months before but i solved this problem but now my ipod is not getting detected on itunes i tried to delete bonjour from add/remove programs and then re-install itunes but still the problem is not solved ...please helpFirst, make sure your iPod software is up to date: iPod Updater - Version 1.1.1.
Try resetting it while it's connected to your computer:
1. Lay your iPod down on your computer desk.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer (if it's not already).
3. Use your pointer finger from your left hand, and press down on the Menu button.
4. Wait a few seconds.
5. Use your pointer finger from your other hand, and press down on the Select button.
6. Hold them down together until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, try connecting it via a different USB port. If not, try restoring it with the latest iPod Updater. -
It's disabled and tells me to connect to iTunes. But when I do that, iTunes wont detect the iPod.I have put the iPod in USB- mode, and by that I mean I have tried connecting with holding the home button when connecting the USB. Help?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Upgrading to Windows vista means itunes wont detect my ipod?? Help please.
Recently upgraded to windows Vista. Big whopdeedo.
But anyway, when I plug my ipod in, windows tries to update drivers for it, but of course failas horribly.
However, this is having a knock on effect that means itunes wont detect my ipod. So, while my ipod recharges, I cannot sync it. Thus I can't add new songs and what-not.
Please help.Yes my ipod is jailbroken, but this has never proved an issue before.
Its not just itunes that now wont recognise my ipod, my other software wont either, and they used to work with the jailbroken ipod.
This all started after i synced a nano, then connected my ipod and a screen came up saying ipod camera connected.
I click on the camera icon in mycomputer and properties tab then selected take no action in the events tab.
This hasnt resolved my issue, and the ipod still comes up as a camera in mycomputer, the only difference being im now not prompted to choose a program to view my photos with.
This is really getting up my nose, as for the second poster, sorry that article was no help at all.
Please someone help me -

ITunes has detected iPod in recovery mode
Help. I am getting the following error when I plug my ipod into the desktop computer. It tells me "iTunes has detected iPod in recovery mode You must restore this iPod before it can be used with itunes." However I plug the same ipod into my laptop computer and it works just fine. It is 4 gig nano runnning version 1.3.1 ipod software. Both computers are running iTunes 7.
+It tells me "iTunes has detected iPod in recovery mode You must restore this iPod before it can be used with itunes." However I plug the same ipod into my laptop computer and it works just fine.+
If you're just getting that message on the desktop, I'd check for a Windows drive letter confusion on the desktop. There's troubleshooting advice on that possibility at the end of the following document:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore" -

my ipod wont detect on pc or itunes. what to do?
There are several fixes, all or some might work
Plug it into a different USB port
If you're using any hubs or extenders, stop and plug the cord right into your computer box or main board
Try a different cord
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
What happens is that the driver for your comptuer gets corrupted and you're trying to trigger the reinstall. -

Itunes wont update ipod! please help!
For some reason when i plug my ipod into my computer it won't update my ipod! It recognises the ipod and says "do not disconnect" but it wont add any new songs at all. I'm going away tomorrow and i really want all of my newest music to take with me. Its an old but fully working 40gb touchbar. Please help! xx
Maybe you have the iPod set to manual transfer, in which case you need to drag and drop music from iTunes into the iPod.
Check in iPod preferences. -

Itunes doesnt detect ipod but has with different ipod
I just bought a used apple ipod after my old one was dropped in my drink and shorted out. I downloaded the ipod updator like it told me after saying that i needed for itunes to detect my ipod and restarted my computer after installing. Even this new 6.0 version says the same error. I really need help on this one. Thanks, Jesse
hi jesse!
I downloaded the ipod updator like it told me after saying that i needed for itunes to detect my ipod and restarted my computer after installing.
just checking on something first. after you installed the ipod updater, did you then run the ipod updater (in in "start > all programs > ipod"), connect the ipod when prompted to do so by the program, and then connect the ipod to the AC adapter for the firmware flash?
