My 2nd Generation iPod is not recognized by iTunes 10.5

I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch running on 4.2.1. I recently updated my iTunes to 10.5 but now my device is not appearing in iTunes. My computer still recognizes the device but iTunes does not.

Tried going to another computer but it does not support the Ipod because the itunes on it is not updated enough because the os is os x 10.4 which cannot get itunes 10 on it

  • 5th generation ipod is not recognized by itunes, why?

    5th generartion ipod is not recognized by itunes, why it this?
    thank you.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    If it does not charge
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.

  • 2nd generation ipod shuffle not recognized by usb 3.0 port, 2nd generation ipod shuffle not recognized by usb 3.0 port

    Hi,
    My 2nd generation ipod shuffle will not connect to any usb 3.0 port.  I've tried on to computers -- one Windows XP and the other Windows 7.  Any ideas?

    Hi
    I had the same issue with my Late 2009 Mac mini running Mavericks and iTunes 12. When I connected my 2nd generation iPod shuffle it would blink amber once then do nothing. This seems to be a common problem with the iPod shuffle and newer versions of Mac OS X (10.6 and up) and iTunes albeit with somewhat varying symptoms but the same overall problem syncing the iPod with iTunes.
    The predominant go-to solution is to give the iPod more power by either connecting the iPod directly to a USB port on the Mac or by disconnecting all other USB devices. On paper this makes sense.
    What worked for me, however, was the opposite. After trying to solve this problem for hours (weeks, months), I had success ONLY after adding a low-powered 4-port USB hub to the chain between the iPod and the Mac. I suspect this had the effect of throttling the power supplied to the iPod from the Mac. I was able to perform a restore on the iPod then sync my music over.
    I can't tell you much about the USB hub except that it is running at USB 1.1 speeds (12 Mb/sec). In theory a USB 1.1 extension cable should also do the trick. You might even be able to use the USB hub in old wired Apple USB keyboard. I will attach a photo of the hub I used to this post for greater clarity.
    I really hope this helps.

  • 2nd Generation Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or My Computer

    I bought a 2nd generation Shuffle for my sister in August. It was washed once in November or September she cant remember. It has worked perfectly fine. The only problem is that when we plug it into my mom's desktop it says the device is not recognized. I have updated to iTunes 7 or whatever the latest is, I have done the 5 R's that Apple Recommends. I even downloaded and tried the Reset Utility sill nothing. But what I don't understand is I can plug it into my laptop and it works perfectly fine. If anyone can help I would appreciate it cause im going to school soon and she wont be able to user her iPod and I wanted to get info before I submitted a service request. Thanks

    If you bought it in August, it must be a 1st Gen shuffle...2nd Gen wasn't available for purchase (in stores) until November.
    Are you plugging it directly into a USB port in the back of your mom's computer?

  • 3rd Generation iPod is not recognized in iTunes or Finder with FireWire

    My refurbished 3rd generation 30 GB (used the battery replacement plan) all of a sudden is not recognizable in either iTunes of the Finder when connected to a FireWire port, which it has done many times. However when I connect it with a USB connection it is recognized, but when I go to restore the software, I’m told I need a FireWire connection by the warning windows from iTunes.
    Any suggestions?
    Looking at the postings, it appears that other iPod users are having the same problem.

    Strange. Both of my Macs are PowerPC Macs running 10.4.10. My Third Generation iPod works fine. The only problem is that when charging it from the wall using the iPod Power Adapter it won't charge to 100 percent. Even after syncing it up directly to either my '17 iMac G5 1.8 GHz or '12 PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz it won't charge all the way. The Knowledge Base Articles I've read seem to indicate that in rare cases the iPod's logic board or Hold Switch may need to be replaced. So far I've replaced the 10 GB hard drive that died with a 20 GB hard drive, replaced the Hold Switch & replaced the Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. I think in my case the iPod logic board may need to be replaced. I originally bought mine refurbished & replacing the iPod costs about $299 according to Apple. Replacing the logic board only costs $65 though if you Google iPod with Dock Connector parts. The link shows up in one of the ads in the right pane of the search results. I really think Apple should recall the Third Generation iPods with defective logic boards. The least they could do is offer a logic board replacement program like they do for Macs.

  • 3rd Generation iPod Shuffle Not Recognized by iTunes 11.1.1

    I am trying to have iTunes recognize my iPod Shuffle 3rd generation.  It worked fine until I downloaded iTunes 11.1.1.  I am using OS X version 10.8.5.  Does this latest version of iTunes not work with my shuffle any longer?

    It should work fine.  I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
    If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.

  • My new 6th generation ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the help guide and the ipod is not recognized anywhere on the computer, not even as an 'unknown device.'

    I can't find any answers to this question besides a discussion from 2006 regarding a "SPTD driver installation" with a broken link.  I don't think it's the cable because I can still charge the ipod, but the device is not listed in My Computer or in the Device Manager or anywhere.  The ports work with other USB cables including my web cam.   Help, anyone? 

    If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure.  If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
