My Hardrive is being recognised as 70gb to small!?

Hi! I recently installed a new hardrive. Its an 80gb western digital. My Motherboard is a Ms-6390. It is being recognised as a 10gb hardrive . Could you please tell me why this is happening and how it could be sorted!? ?( Thanx! Haz

Hi,
Your topic title and your post is not sync. 10GB or 70GB?
If it is 70GB then that's nothing of surprise.
HDD size is counted as 1,000,000,000 bytes = 1GB
but in actual, 1GB is 1,073,741,824 bytes.
thus, 80,000,000,000 bytes = how many GB in actual?

I have tried:
1. resetting ipod
2. windows /manage/settings/ipod checks
3. system restore
4. driver removal of ipod
5. firmware update removal in itunes directory
6. ipod lead instead of cradle and other USB ports
6. everything else suggested on the help and support centre
the ipod works fine and I can see/hear all music and video on it and the itunes library matches the ipod
device manager sees the USB device as (0)ipod and says it is working fine

HELP!!!! please

Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

IPod not being recognised in iTunes

Hi all
I sold my iPod on eBay and, as far as I could tell, it was working perfectly when it was sent off. The buyer has sent it back to me claiming it wasn't being recognised in her iTunes and to my surprise it's now not being recognised in mine. I plug in the iPod and it charges through my Mac but does not become recognised in iTunes at all. Does anyone have any ideas as I am going to have to refund the buyer AND the iPod seems caput so it would be great if I could get it working one way or the other. Thanks so much in advance.

I tried what you suggested but it didn't seem to work for me. When i started the error check nothing happened, the bow for checking errors closed immideiatly after i clicked start. Did you do anythig else before checking the drive for errors, like put it in disk mode?

Iphone 3gs not being recognised by Itunes 10.1.2 on my Imac

Hi all,
This seems to be a common problem but all the posts that say they have succeeded don't work on mine. My problem started when my iphone was not being recognised. I did everything re-installed itunes, restarted computer etc and I finally went into DFU mode. Itunes recognised then but said it needed to be restored. At wits end i did this, now i have no phone as itunes wiped everything but since it wont recognise it again i cant get the phone past the connect to itunes/emergency call screen. I also tried deleting the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" but i cant seem to find it where they said it would be. If i can find this file apparently this will help me but it simply not there.
Really hope that someone might have an answer that will work for me because i really need my cell phone back
P.S I have the latest itunes and Mac OS X 10.6.6

In this article about your device not being recognized in OSX, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 ,it is mentioned, that
In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
So give it a try.

Please help dont know what to do?????

Does this work?
+Plug in your iPhone.+
+Power it down by holding the sleep/lock button and sliding to power off.+
+Once it’s powered down, press and hold both the sleep/lock button and the home button for ten seconds.+
+After 10 seconds, release the power button but continue holding down the home button.+
+If you did it right, iTunes will pop up a window (like the one below) telling you that it’s detected an iPhone in recovery mode and your iPhone’s screen will be black. If it didn’t work, start from the beginning and try again.+

My Generation 7 iPod is not being recognised by either my PC or my laptop. My older 2gb iPod IS being recognised though. How can I get the Gen 7 iPod to be recognised? This is a recent issue, as it was working fine before.

My 7th Generation iPod has suddenly stopped being recognised by my PC and laptop. I have updated all operating systems for Windows and iTunes, yet it still will not be found. I have had the Generation 7 since June 2013.
I have plugged in both my 7th Generation and my 2nd Generation iPods (7th first, then 2nd a few minutes later on.), and the 2nd generation was picked up instantly.
I have checked to ensure that it is not a problem with the USB port, and that is recognising and installing drivers as necessary, so before I take the iPod back to the store, is there anything else that I can try to get it to be found.
Both iPods had run out of charge if that helps.
Thank you in advance.

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

I want to sync a second ipod touch to itunes, however my daughter has some how registered the new ipod under my sons old one, she has deleted asll content and i have now reset it, how do i stop it being recognised as the old one

my daughters new ipod touch is being recognised as my sons old one on itunes,this has caused the ipod to lock and she has lost all content. i now want to get itunes to recognise her new ipod , but it is still recognising it as the old one, how can i sort this out

Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
if it does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
Connect back to the Mac
When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
Sync your library.
Good Luck!

Iphone and touch being recognised as a camera

After spending most of last week sorting out my itunes ready for my sons new touch, I plug it in this morning to receive this message ' apple mobile device not started'
I follow the instructions left by some kind person on here and double check the settings in the control panel, and make sure that they are at automatic. They are but I reinput just in case.
Now both the touch and my iphone are being recognised as cameras when I connect to itunes. I also have an ipod 5 classic which has all my music on but am reluctant to try this as last time I did it cleared all my music!
Any ideas people, its my sons birthday on Saturday and I was hoping to have the touch fully loaded for him.
Many thanks in advance

Yeah I did that.
nada effect
Did I mention that for some reason the phone wouldn't initially send MMS, and then it did.
Now it won't again...?

My ipad (mini) and ipod are not being recognised by itunes?

When connecting both my ipad(mini) and ipod(7th gen) they are not being recognised by itunes. I last connected just over a month ago and everything was fine. When I last connected I also connected my old ipod(3rd gen) to add new playlists beforing giving to someone else. When I first plugged in I got a message saying that the cable was not Apple authorised - both my cables are cables supplied with my ipod/ipad so came from Apple? When I run diagnostics it says
"Most recent devices not currently connected, - iPod Nano (3rd Gen) and iPad Mini running firmware 6.1.3" This is the first time I have tried to connect since updated my iPad with IOS7? Please help I wanted to put Christmas playlists on both devices.....!

IPOD Touch has stopped being recognised on my computer

My iPOD Touch has linked to my iTunes sucessfully for a year or two until last week when it stopped being recognised. It is recognised when I plug it into my daughter's computer, and when I did this the iPOD software successfully updated.
Also my other daughter's iPOD Nano is recognised on MY computer.
I have re-installed iTunes and updated all USB drivers but problem persists.
The iPOD does appear as a connected peripheral on my computer.
I have tried re-setting/restoring the iPOD Touch. It has only gone into Restore mode a couple of times and iTunes starts downloading. However, nothing happens subsequently except an Apple Mobile Device has stopped working message appears.
Can anyone help?
John

I have now removed and re-installed every piece of Apple Software on my laptop. I assume this would result in the drivers being re-installed.
However, when I plug the iPOD in a message comes up 'Installing Device Drivers'. Then a message comes up that they are installed successfully, but it does also say 'Searching folders for preconfigured drivers...'. After 10 mins I assumed this did not mean anything and closed the window.
It is not convenient for me to check the other computer's drivers. Anyway, the iPOD used to work on this computer. The only thing I have done on this computer re device drivers is to start using a USB mouse (which installed drivers) and I also checked them all for updates. Only the Intel ones updated.
Needless to say the iPOD is still unrecognised in iTunes.
Any further help much appreciated.
John

My nano 6th generation ipod is not being recognised by windows. have done all step recomended but no joy?

My ipod nano has suddenly stopped being recognised in itunes.Have uninstalled itunes and doenloaded again and installed latest version of vista,also installed google chrome.Also reset nano but still will not work.

Can't see your iPod in Windows Explorer or iTunes? Check Device Manager first (right-click on My Computer, choose Manage, and then select Device Manager). If no devices appear in the Windows Device Manager, then keep reading.
Note: If this started right after you updated your Windows XP computer to Service Pack 2, look here first:
Microsoft KB #893249
SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a Windows XP-based computer, the Device Manager window is blank or some devices no longer appear. If some devices do appear and you remove one device, all devices are removed from Device Manager.
Back to the top
CAUSE
This problem occurs because of a problem in the FixCSS.exe tool. When you install Windows XP SP2, the installer runs the FixCSS.exe tool to correct some mild corruptions. However, the FixCSS.exe tool does not delete the temporary subkeys in registry keys. Therefore, the temporary subkeys confuse the Plug and Play manager and many devices are incorrectly enumerated.

My iPad stopped being recognised by Windows 7

My iPad 1 recently stopped being recognised by Windows 7. It makes the bing-bong noise when I plug it in and the 'Not charging' notice comes up, but the 'Apple USB device' no longer appears in Device Manager and iTunes (latest version) does not recognise it, so I can't sync or backup. It used to work perfectly, but stopped working about a week ago.
My details:
iPad 1 64GB 3G
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
iTunes 10.2.2
Things I've tried:
Different USB ports
Different cables
Hard-restarting the iPad and the PC
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
I followed all the steps in that article and it still doesn't recognise my iPad.
The symptoms are that when I plug the iPad into a USB port, Windows does not find it at all. Usually you get the Windows 'bing-bong' sound effect and Device Manager refreshes itself as it finds the device, then you'd expect to see 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in the list under Universal Serial Bus Controllers (I think, from memory).
However, Windows detects nothing at all. What's even stranger is that the iPad is clearly receiving some power as I get the iPad 'plugged-in' sound effect and the battery status changes to 'Not charging' as I would expect.
So I've removed iTunes and all associated software, restarted, reinstalled from a fresh copy from apple.com...now I'm out of ideas. I've tried two USB cables and four different USB ports.
Thanks,
Steve

My Toshiba external hard drive is no longer being recognised by my Macbook Air - solution?

My Toshiba external hard drive is no longer being recognised by my Macbook Air. The light on the hard drive is on, but it won't appear on my computer's desktop or anywhere else. How can I fix this?

Hi rivraff,
If you are having issues mounting an external hard drive volume, you may want to see if it shows up and/or can be repaired in Disk Utility; you may find the following article helpful:

External hard drive which used to be recognised by my new iMac is no longer being recognised?

I recently bought an iMac. I have an external hard drive which was formatted to my old MacBook Pro. Initially it worked fine on my new iMac, but all of a sudden it is not being recognised by it. Any ideas what I can do?

The drive is probably probably starved for power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power. Get a powered USB hub and I suspect your problems will go away.
If you purchase another hard drive for a desktop Mac in the future, consider one that is self-powered. Much less troublesome.
Some people have reported that, if they reformatted the external drive for Mac (most are formatted for Windows), the existing drive may work without a hub. You can refomat the drive with Disk Utility. Select Macinstosh Extended (Journaled) as the format. This is a great strategy if you do not have to share the drive with a Windows computer.

My Hardrive is being recognised as 70gb to small!?
