Itunes wont recognize my new ipod touch

I just bought an ipod touch and when i connect it to my pc, auto pop up recognized it as Apple Ipod but as a camera. When i go to My Computer, i see a camera icon next to APPLE IPOD. iTunes does not appear when the ipod is connected and when i do open itunes the ipod dont appear on the left. When i press the on/off switch, it just has a picture of a UBS and an arrow pointing to itunes icon.

Hello, 
Make sure that you have iTunes 7.6 installed:

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • My computer won't recognize my new ipod touch

    Why won't my computer recognize my new ipod touch?

    I have just been through this world of pain. dont bother re-installing itunes, or trawling through device drivers.
    Instead, make sure you turn off bluetooth and wireless. Unplug your network cable from the pc (assuming you have a LAN connection).
    Try plugging in the touch and it should be recognised straight away.

  • If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    Just wondering, what context is this in?
    First up, is your iTunes account part of an iCloud account?
    Secondly, if it's a free app, why don't they just download it? If they are having trouble finding it on the App Store, but you can find it easily, you can share the link for it via email with them, and if they view that email on their iPod they can just tap the link and it will open the App Store to that App for them, so they can download it themselves.
    If you were to go to the Store settings pane and sign in with your iTunes account, that should only provide the possibility for download items from your iTunes account, such as purchased apps, music and movies. However, if you signed in, downloaded the app, and then went back and signed out of the account again, there shouldn't be any access apart from the app you downloaded. This is provided you sign in using the Store section of the Settings app, not the iCloud section.
    One problem they will have if you download this in your account instead of theirs, in order to download updates for that app, they will need you to enter your iTunes password to download the updates. Doing that doesn't give them access to anythign to do with your account other than that update, but they will be unable to receive updates for it without your password. They would also likely be unable to sync the app onto their computer, as their computer would not be Authorised with your iTunes account.
    If you can answer some of the questions I've asked, I may be able to suggest alternate ways for you get them the app on their device.
    Hope this all helps a bit

  • ITunes recognizes my new iPod Touch 5G as if it were my iPad Retina

    I bought a newiPod Touch 5g.  I already own a couple older iPod Classics and a realtively new iPad Retina.  I run iTunes on a Windows XP SP3 machine.
    When I plug in the new iPod Touch 5g iTunes recognizes it as my iPad Retina.  I've tried the usual starting and stopping Apple Mobile and Ipod Services with no luck, as well as rebooting, closing and opening iTunes, etc.
    At my wits end!

    Solved one problem:  the iPad was showing up because it had "Sync via WiFi" clicked.  Once I turned that off, that issue was solved.
    Problem is more genertic now.  Windows sees the iPod as a camera only.  Tried all the problem solving steps in other threads with no luck, including rebooting.
    iTunes sees my iPad and an old iPod Classic, but not the new one.
    So is my last resort is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes?
    THanks so much for your help.

  • Itunes wont sync files to ipod touch

    My friend's wife has been bedbound for years but before she could no longer use her desktop Windows 7 computer, she had gotten hundreds of songs in at least 10 playlists.  She recently bought 3 CD/DVDs that she wanted me to rip with itunes and sync to her ipod touch 2.  The ripping went fine, if a little slower than I would have thought, but the songs played fine in itunes.  When I plugged the ipod touch in, it did not sync on it's own even though "Prevent iPods, IPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is not checked.  I clicked on the device and tried to sync it to the pod touch, it didn't copy the files on to  the ipod touch.  It said:
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 1 of 3)
         Waiting for sync to start
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 2 of 3)
         Preparing to sync
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 3 of 3)
       Waiting for changes to be applied
       Preparing to copy items
    Then nothing.  I can sync again but it just does the same thing.  One time it took the Preparing to copy items a minute or two, but most times it just flashes by.  I actually had to do a screen capture to make sure what it said.  The songs and videos are not copied and they do not show up on the ipod touch.  She does not have sync all music checked as she has lots of songs she doesn't want on the ipod, just selected songs with the checkmark by them.  The new songs have the checkmark, and I even tried copying the new songs into a playlist that was already on the ipod touch, but did not work.  I deactivated the computer from itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled and reactivated.  Still no copy.  She was on an older version (maybe 11) so I upgraded to the newest 12.0.1.26 which didn't help either.
    Once I manage to get the songs on the ipod touch, she can move them around to where ever she wants them though the ipod touch, and then we plug in a dock for her to listen to it through the stereo.  Any ideas on what else to try to get the songs and videos on the ipod touch?

    What happens when you do this for the apps that do not sync?
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • How do I get itunes to recognize my new ipod shuffle?

    How do I get itunes on my mac pro to recognize my new ipod shuffle?

    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar (along left side of window).  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  With sidebar visible, when the shuffle is connected, it should appear in the sidebar under DEVICES.  Does it appear there?

  • Will an Apple gift card (not an iTunes one) buy a new iPod touch?

    I have an Apple Store gift card for $100 (this is not an iTunes gift card to buy songs with) and I would like to know if it could go towards purchasing a new iPod touch.

  • How can I get iTunes to recognize my new iPod shuffle?

    I have a new iPod shuffle, but when I plugged it into my MacBook Pro to charge it and put music on, nothing happens. It does not appear to be charging and does not show up on my iTunes. The USB port works fine, and iTunes recognizes my iPhone and iPad. Is there something I am missing here. or should I take it back to the store as defective?

    Hi all :-)
    I have also a problem with a new ipod shuffle
    I plug it and itunes alerts me that something went wrong.
    I have MBA 13" 2012 on Yosemite, Itunes is up to date
    If someone has a solution. Thank you

  • Itunes wont sync apps to ipod touch

    I bought a second gen iPod touch last Christmas for my son, and loaded it up with the preschool apps from my iPhone with no problem. However, after the initial installation, I have not been able to get any apps to sync from iTunes to the iPod. The apps tab shows the "Sync apps" box checked, but the whole page is grayed out and won't let me select or deselect any apps. Now, it also will not transfer purchases I have made from the iPod back to iTunes. I am running the 3.1.3 version of the iPod software, and all of the apps are iPod and iPhone compatible. All restrictions on the iPod have been disabled. Any suggestions?

    Same problem here. See also
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11335706#11335706.
    My iPod software is up to date, as is the mac OS (leopard), and I bought one new app (having checked its specs) and the app sync page in iTunes is grayed out. I tried deleting a couple of free apps -- a suggestion on another thread for a different problem -- no change. I tried deleting this app and re-downloading it.
    I haven't tried buying an app on the iPod to see if it will transfer to iTunes; have only purchased on computer and attempted to sync. Music is fine.
    Ideas, anyone?
    thanks...
