Itunes wont recognize my ipod when connected..what is the deal?

why wont itunes recognize my ipod touch...

My Ipod is doing the same, if you work it out could you tell me?
I did go onto yahoo answers and they said to redownload itunes.
Then if that didn't work, to take the ipod back.

Hey, Thanks a lot. It took quite a bit of time to resurrect this ipod. I tried the upgrade again, but still would not recognize my ipod. So I went to the next step and reset my ipod, wiping of all of the information like it was new. This helped my laptop see the ipod on itunes, but did not sync. So, I deleted the itunes off my computer completely, restarted and then reinstalled the newest itunes, and then restarted. Finally, it recognized my ipod and started to download each song. It took awhile as there was 602 songs, but finally it works. Yea!!! I never had any problem with my old nano, but this touch has been another animal for sure. Thank you again and also the community for information. This was a helpful forum and will recommend to others if they get stuck with their ipod or iphone. Take care, Karen

My computer died and I had to buy another one. Now I can't sync my ipod classic. What is the deal with this? I added songs about three months ago and it was fine. Now it won't sync. It says it has a duplicate file.

There are server problems right now with iMessage effecting some users. See http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/.

My itunes 11.0 won't open! What's the deal?

I upgraded my itunes to 11.0 and now it won't open..... what's the deal?

GOOD! Uninstall it, and stick with the previous version. 11 has MAJOR issues- losing songs, playlists, can't display duplicates, etc. This community board is exploding with issues. Keep what you have!!!

ITunes on my computer does not recognize my IPod when connected to my computer

When my Ipod is connected to the computer, it does not recognize there is a device. I have been able to sync my Ipod to my Itunes in almost 4 months. Songs transfer to Ipod but the playlists do not. I have tried to figure out the problem and nothing has worked so far to correct the problem. I hope someone is able to help me.

Hello bre8613,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning recognition issues:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may not appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Windows PC. Any of the following may also occur:
The device cannot be restored in iTunes.
An exclamation point, question mark, plug symbol, or "X" appears next to the device's entry in Device Manager.
During an update or restore, the device may no longer be recognized by iTunes
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Getting reeeally sick of this happening now.. everytime it sync's itunes tells me that it does not recognize my ipod device.. or something like that..

If you have also gone through the other applicable steps (and that are possible) in that article, all I can suggest is posting in one of the Category: iPod forums .

New itunes wont recognize my ipod

i few days ago my ipod ran out of battery so i plugged it into the wall charger. the apple logo came up for a long time and when it went away all my songs were gone! so i plugged it into my labtop and itunes told me to update so i installed the new itunes and new updater. but now itunes won't recognize my ipod mini. and on my ipod in the about section, it says 0 songs, capactiy: 3.7 GB, space left: 1.7 GB. how could taht happen? i don't even have any songs and i only have 1.7 GB left? Please help me!

olemadrid, I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread, It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
Good luck.

HT201413 Why does iTunes not see my iPod when connected?

My computer does not see my ipod when I connect it to it. Nor does it come up in iTunes. How can I sync my music with this problem going on?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice Settings (will not delete everything)
> Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your iDevice shows (should show as a digital camera)
> Restore iDevice completely (will delete everything)
> Make sure both iTunes and iOS firmware is Up-To-Date

I cant reset my iPod Touch 4th Gen because my home button is broken for one, the screen is completely unresponsive like full black and iTunes wont pick it up when connected to my PC

any other way of resetting? I need all of my data that was on it before.

Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

I had to reset my iPod classic after it froze, now iTunes wont recognize my iPod. It says its connected to my computer too. Help?

I pulled my ipod off of my ihome to go upload some new music. Tried to turn it on, nothing. Tried and tried again and nothing would come up. Tried to charge it and nothing came up. So i reset it. The apple screen kept popping up and it would just stay there frozen. So I would try and try again and finally it asked for the language selection screen. I selected english and tried to connect it to my computer and the "eject before dicconecting" screen popped up but it wont show up in itunes. Everytime I unplug it it goes back to the apple screen? Any suggestions?

Hello Jeanne
If you are having issues with your iPod not showing up on your computer then check out the article below. What you need to figure out is if it does not show up at all or if it is just iTunes.

The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible, does the iPod appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
