My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I tried doing this it told me that it was for a 32 bit version which I obviously do not have. My computer is only a few months old. What do I do now?

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I did that it came up with another message that it was only good for a 32 bit version. I guess I do not have a 32 bit version. I just purchased my computer a few months ago and it uses the windows 7 operating system. What do I do now?

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

HT1567 My computer is not recognizing my iPod NanoPod - therefore the 'Devices' is not showing up on the Left side in order to sync Playlists to my Nano Pod? What can I do about this please?

Hi
My computer is not recognizing my iPod NanoPod - and as a result 'The Devices' section is not showing up in order to sync new Playlists to my Nano-Pod. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

My computer is not recognizing my IPod...how can I help this? I have an IPod Classic from 2006, I think.

I have connected my IPod via the USB port, and even my computer is not recognizing the IPod. How can I help this? I have just downloaded an audiobook and now I'd like to downloading it to my IPod.

Uninstall iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, then reinstall iTunes. This will not trouch your iTunes library or data.

My computer is not recognizing my IPod Touch, therefore I can not sync.

My computer is not recognizing my Ipod touch. I have used all the help tips and tried different usb ports with no change. The only other thing I can think of is that since I lost my cable for the Ipod, I am using the cable for my Iphone. Would this cause the problem? The cables seem to be the exact same, but perhaps I am mistaken.

Computer, Itunes, Not recognizing my ipod

About 2 weeks ago i tried to update my music on my ipod touch. I plugged it in and it didnt show up in itunes, My computer or Media Monkey. My computer charges it just fine, But i cant find it anywhere on my computer. Ive tried everything i can but with out itunes recognizing it i cant restore. The reset with the home and menu buttons (just orginized my apps which was nice lol) Tried searching device manager, no luck doesnt even show up any where in there.
Ive been scouring forums all day the only thing i found was this issue with the classic and vista or xp.
I'm running itunes 9 cause 10 caused a crash with my boyfriends ipod Which works fine he has the 8gb 3rd gen w/ 4.1
Ive Tried His Ipod Cord My Ipod cord and every usb port on laptop. Both cords charge mine. and both cords connect his. His ipod shows up just fine
So what do i do?
Mine is 3.1.3 and the serial is 1C8015Y414P

This is what the guide says
Restore iPod touch from a backup:
1 Connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with.
2 In iTunes, Control-click iPod touch in the sidebar and choose “Restore from Backup” from the menu that appears.
3 Choose the backup that you want to restore from the pop-up menu, then click Restore.
I cant do this because my IPod DOES NOT show in iTunes.
The only thing my IPOD does is charge when i connect it.
Any other ideas?????

My computer is not recognizing my new 4th generation IPOD Shuffle

I had the same problem then I discovered I was not pushing the Jack in fully. Once I did this it suddenly became successfully recognised. (Only took me 4 hours of trying to realise what I was doing wrong) Hope this helps.

My computer will not recognize my ipod touch 4g and will not charge it.

A short while ago, my computer simply stopped recognizing my iPod touch 32gb 4g. When I plug it in to any USB port, nothing happens. Same if I try to plug my iPod into an adapter. I have tried everything both apple and the previous discussions have covered. I've uninstalled everything pertaining to apple or iTunes and reinstalled it. I've tried going into revoery mode, I've even tried running an independant driver without iTunes. The funny thing is, if I go into settings-general-reset-erase content and settings, the iPod will charge, but it won't reset. I figured that out by accident trying to wipe my iPod to reset it. Any ideas? Please help, I'd rather not have to spend another $300 for another iPod. Another note, my iTunes will find the iPod over WiFi. I don't know if that helps any.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

WIndows not recognizing my ipod shuffle ?!?

I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The orange lights up while charging and when I plug in the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my friend said it should)
I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and had the same problem. I just got this for my son for Christmas and needless to say he's a bit disappointed.
Did I buy a lemon?
Please help!!!

ITunes not recognizing original IPod touch after new one installed

I tried to set up new IPod touch but itunes wouldn't recognize it. Downloaded latest version of itunes. Was able to set up new IPod touch but now old touch not being recognized by itunes. Went through the troubleshooting guide with no positive results. Old (unreconized) touch is fully charged. Restarted computer. Restarted itunes. Changes usb ports. Nothing working. Any ideas?

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply to my posting about iTunes not recognizing my iPod Touch after upgrading to Leopard.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Thanks for setting me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to your posting, I had already read the article you referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to your posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent you referenced was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

My computer is not recognizing my new shuffle

Hi,
My computer is not recognizing my new shuffle and not syncing with it. I had a shuffle before and it just automatically synced. No little ding ding recognition of new hardware sound, no nothing. Help
thanks

I had the exact same problem. Then I called for support. I felt like an idiot when I got the solution. Unplug your Ipod shuffle from the computer. Then unplug the power cord from the shuffle. Now replug it into the shuffle. Push very hard. You should hear a click sound. Now try plugging it into your computer again. I hope this helps you.
