  • Hi all, itunes does not recognize my ipod touch 5th gen but it does recognize my ipod touch 3rd gen.?

    Hi all,
    itunes does not recognize my ipod touch 5th gen but it does recognize my ipod touch 3rd gen.?
    Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, itunes 10.7.0.21, ipod 5th gen ios 8.3. I know I am not running the latest version of itunes for the
    ipod touch 5 gen. but at least with itunes open I would get a message stating cannot connect this ipod because I am not running the
    lastest version of itunes. That message would come up everytime I was charging said ipod with itunes open. I just updated to iso 8.3
    and now I don't get that message anymore when I have itunes open.I tried turning off ipod/computer/restarting, nothing. I tried going
    to administrator/services/apple moble device and stop/start service nothing. Device manager shows the drivers are installed.
    Any info will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    hi sally,
    see if this user tip by Yorkwill helps:
    +In the end what works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:+
    +1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in+
    +and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really+
    +matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).+
    +2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:+
    +o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)+
    +o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).+
    +o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!+
    +You should find the driver info in a sub folder of+
    +C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B+
    +Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder+
    +name into note pad – you’ll need it later)+
    +If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not+
    +been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.+
    +3. Locate the ipod-camera device:+
    +o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >+
    +Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager+
    +o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as+
    +‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.+
    +4. Update the driver:+
    +o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on+
    +‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.+
    +o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’+
    +o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check+
    +‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.+
    +In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder+
    +containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example+
    +above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), +
    +then click Next.+
    +You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue+
    +installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come+
    +to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.+

  • My computer will not recognize my ipod touch anymore. When I plug it in it says the USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows doesn not recognize it.

    My computer (PC) will not recognize my ipod touch anymore. When I plug it in, it says the USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. I have tried attaching the same cord and ipod to a different computer and it is recognized by our mac. I have tried restarting the ipod, downloading all updates on my pc, restarting the pc, etc. Nothing has worked. Please advise.

  • I had to reload my software and now the computer does not recognize my ipod

    I had to reload my software due to a virus, and iTunes wouldnt work. Wound up deleting iTunes from the computer and reloading it. It works but lost all my library and the computer now does not recognize my iPod. Like it is synced to another computer, but both are the same as before. I want to restore my iPod library back to the computer and get new music, but nothing seems to work, plus I cant transfer new music to my iPod either. I am so lost.

  • 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:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    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

  • PC does not recognize my IPOD Touch

    After 2 months of connecting on a regular basis, I am now getting a message telling me that my Touch is not recognized by my computers (desktop or laptop). The messsage says that "one of the USB devices attached to h\this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it".
    Can I do anything to it at this point or is it a repair shop issue (can it be formatted... ???)
    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried
    1)turn off pc
    2)disconnect all USB devices except mouse & keyboard
    3)turn pc back on
    4)disable all antivirus, spyware programs
    Before connecting ipod
    5) turn it off (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then slide the slider and then back on.
    6)plug it in using a different USB port than before
