My Computer page doesn't recognize iPod. Device Manger doesn't have the Portable Devices icon either. What to do?
I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation. I plug in my computer, it charges or makes the audio bip about being connected but it doesn't appear in My Computer page neither as a cam or any other portable device. I right clicked in My Computer to open Device Manager and there are not Portable Devices there to click or to uninstall. iTunes also doesn't work in my PC after I uninstalled and re-installed for FIVE TIMES. The page just appear without a miserable word, nor titles neither the way to control songs, playlist, nothing!. I'm trying to use my iPod at least as a mp3 player but the device doesn't appear in My Computer page also.
The computer is quite accessible Pentium Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz, 2.19GHz, 3.50 GB of RAM with Windows XP. I really need help, I don't understand why this is happening to me, I bought the iPod a year ago and just loaded 38 songs and didn't use so much. Now the batery is ok, I can hear it or use WiFi but I can't add no more songs, delete or open in my PC. Please help!!

HT4623 My ipad 2 doesn't have the software update option. What should I do?
My ipad 2 doesn't have the software update option. What should I do to upgrade my ipad to ios 5. I can not use or download most of the apps.
Go back to the article you asked this question from, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external drive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have enough space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help
Hi, do you know if this works if I then want to move my library to a new computer as that is my main intention bacause my old computer hasn't got enough space for me to add new albums so I want to ditch the computer (its got to be about 100 years old and doesn't seem to cope well with modern technology!!) and start using my laptop for my iTunes. I am at the point now where i'm ready to throw both my computer and iPod out the window!!!! I might point out as well that in trying to clear space on my computer I accidently deleted the Bonjour programme which is aparently needed to use the home share option, oops!!!!
Thanks, Kerry -
HT4623 My iPhone doesn't have the software update option. What do i do?
I'm trying to download the iOS 5.1 but i dont have the software update option, what should i do?
If you have IOS 5 or later, go to Settings > General > Software Update >
Doing it on computer, you need the latest iTunes. Connect and select iPhone in iTunes, Summary page , click the Check for Update button. -
I updated my phone to iOS 7 and ever since then I don't have the App Store. It's really frustrating because I have restored my phone and it still doesn't have it. I don't know if it can be fixed, but if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know!
I figured out how. Go to settings> General make sure restrictions are off

Moving session to a different computer that doesn't have the sample lib?
I want to bring a Logic session into a studio for a mix, and it's mostly tracks with EWQLSO instruments. What's the best and quickest way to do this? I could, of course, bounce each track individually, but with 24+ tracks of AIs for each cue this would take a lifetime. I haven't had much success with the "export/ all tracks as audio" command, as for some reason it didn't bounce the volume automation with the tracks. I'm thinking of AAF, or OMF, but are they lossy formats? I also tried taking my session, freezing all of the AI tracks and then transferring the whole session to a laptop (without the EW libs) and it wouldn't play the freeze file audio, even though the tracks were there... Any suggestions would be a big help!
Thanks a lot
DaveIt actually did work. I think it'll end up saving me a lot of time, so thanks a lot for your idea. I do wish there was a simple one-click way. Like if on Export all tracks as audio, there could just be a selection box that had either pre-fader (as it does now) or post-fader (to include all of the automation data like I need) but then again it would burn a file that could be un-automatted. Maybe what logic needs is a function like: Export all tracks as audio, and import as audio tracks including original automation.... Probably needs a better name though!
Thanks again,
Dave -
I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime. All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account. How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?
I started to do that then it said that this will become their apple I.D or similar and then I thought that will disconnect them from the same iTunes? I want them still on my iTunes as they are only young (8 and 10)? Or have I got this all wrong and even if I do set them up with a different e-mail will they still be on my itunes? For example if they want to purchase an App will it still go through my account even if they use their ipod?

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black. Thanks!
Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

I have a Ipod mini 6gb that still works but a new computer that doesn't have its software. How can I download the software for it
Check the iPod Hardisk health with the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted by tt2

It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode. I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account. Help..
If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation -
I would like to transfer the music that is already on my iPod touch to a new computer. At present, my iPod touch is not recognised on the new computer. How do I resolve that so I can literally connect it to my new computer and transfer all my music? Any help is much appreciated.

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

Hi everyone, I have received a new iphone today. I have an ipod touch but no longer have the computer it is synced to. How do I get my music from the touch to my new iphone? many thanks Anna-Marie

First try this:
- Go on iTunes computer
- plug in the iPod
- authorize your device from store/authorize
- iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud. -
