How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode
A small guide on how to put your iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode. Works with all G’s of iPod touch / iPhone
What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade

Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode.
That's when I got the black screen with USB and iTunes icons. iTunes itself, did not show my phone.

My ipod nano is not showing in itunes and I've tried everything that has been suggested by Apple. I updated iTunes, I've reset the ipod. I just want to download my songs! Help! Please and Thank you.

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and can't go any further. How do I fix this?

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and will not go any further. What can I do? I am using a pc.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Ipod not showing in Itunes and Windows 7

The Fix
I uninstalled everything that was Apple related and reinstalled Itunes with no loss to my data.
Once reinstalled, both the ipod is now showing in itunes and everything is working fine now.
I hope this helps anyone else out with the same problem of an ipod not charging, not showing in Windows 7 and not showing in itunes.

Glad that it works but if you read the threads, usually that is tried and suggested/recommended, of course, but fails to solve the problems.
Also, Devices and Printers is a good place to start and look there to even see if Widnows detects iPod but also has an error exclamation and "error."
I'll say this, Apple Safari and iTunes and iPod support software, can be the most buggy sofware I use on Windows with more problems and issues. Shame.
Tried to or accidently pluged iPod Touch 4G into one of my other PCs and had issue when I brought it back over. Use of inferior quality 3rd party cable might also be blamed.
iTunes video playback, movies and music video, would hang, freeze, go into a "wait chain" (better with Windows 8 Dev Preview, but that is PRE-BETA!).
Apple Common Support Software issues, which 2.0 version can be a problem. Used by iTunes and Safari. Seems like iTunes was better before installing Safari. Two PCs and they are almost 200% identical as can be, but Safari would hang.
May need to remove Apple folders in AppData (move to safe place) if there is a problem there.

Ipod does not show on itunes and does not restored when it asked to

I'm helping a friend.
Her ipod nano 4gb is not showing either on My Computer or the iTunes.
Yesterday the ipod can be detected and I did found out that the backlight of her ipod was not functioning. Going through the Ipod Settings is not resolving. But this is not the case.
I have managed to charge like one hour and fix some songs inside and even put a video inside.
Unplugged it and smoothly functioning iPod except for the non-functioning backlight.
Today however, the ipod refuses to turn on.
I plugged it to iTunes and it detects again as Ipod DFU Recovery bla-bla bubble and on the iTunes dialog boxes mentioning that the iPod needs to recovery. But it failed. It says waiting, preparing to recovery and failed. It does this over and over but nothing happens.
I tried pressing the Menu and The Center simultaneously while iTunes preparing for recovery. It showed a window saying that "an iPod has been detected, but could not be identified properly. Bla-bla. An unknown error occurred (2005)"
No info on Apple website about error code 2005.
Can anyone help how to tackle this problem?
fyi,
My machine running XP Pro sp2
iTunes 8.1.1.10
I own a iPod 3rd gen Click wheel (over FW) and an iPhone 2G (over USB) which all of it sync smoothly.

If your iPod is being recognised by Windows you could try this manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted here: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. Again if Windows is recognising the iPod these may too.

I have a CD which refuses to eject - no icon appeared for it, tried to eject and no response at all - can't even hear it trying, not showing on iTunes and any attempt to eject thro iTunes or any other programme seizes everything up

Sorting out my CDs. Put one in and no response - no icons appeared on desktop, nothing showing on iTunes. Tried to eject and absolutely no response - can't even hear any attempt to eject. I've tried a few different things and no response or the programme I'm using jams up. Not a huge computer buff so I need things explained really simply - only had my Macbook Pro for a year and still not completely tuned into Apple system - would have know what to do on my old Windows!

You can use a key combination to force removable media to eject at startup. Visit Startup key combinations for Mac - Apple Support and try the options listed in the bottom row.

ITunes purchases not showing in iTunes and not transferring to iPod shuffle

I Have been using ipod shuffles for several years as they are small and convenient for running. I have purchased 175 songs on iTunes and been forced to purchase FIVE iPod shuffle devices because the battery life in all five devices degrades after approximately 40 re-charges to the point that I only get 15 minutes battery time after a full charge. This is occurring on every iPod shuffle I have bought inclusing the latest one which is only two months old. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased several applications for my iPad and several new songs. I receive emails after each purchase. However, when I looked at my iTunes account, it showed all the items as a single item purchase and the songs were not even showing up as purchased or in my play list. This tells me that someone at Apple accounting is manually adjusting purchases and not itemizing them and the songs were not even given to me. I had to reinstall my entire iTunes program and they had to reinsert the new songs into my purchased playlist. That is why I couldn't transfer my songs onto my iPod shuffle. Now, with the latest IOS 8.3 update, I am getting all sorts of service problems like it says each time I turn on my laptop that I have inserted a CD or DVD, select the times I want to burn. It was never doing that before. It is also giving me all these warnings too:
BookmarkDAV_client.exe - entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll.
icloudServices.exe entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll
Apple photo streams.exe entry point not found, etc,
I purchased four new iTunes songs yesterday and only one of them transferred into my iPod shuffle. I am so tired and frustrated with the endless defects in Apple Products, that soon I am just going to say ENOUGH AND COMPLETELY STOP USING ALL APPLE PRODUCTS.

The "Purchased" playlist you see on the right can be a little misleading. It's not mean to show all of the purchases you've ever made. To download (or just see) what a particular has previously purchased used this resource. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

I have an IPad that is displaying the Apple with the bar under it. It will not let me turn it off and it does not show up in iTunes so I can't do a Restore. Can I do a Hard Reset?

You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:

To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.

My son has forgotten his password and his iPod touch has been disabled for a week. It is not synced to iTunes , how do we restore it, Help!

Disabled
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.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

I stuffed around with itunes and now I cant see my device when I connect...Please help??

Please help I am a total spaz with itunes! lol I can't see my device in itunes..

Hello there chester,
It sounds like your iPhone is no longer recognized in iTunes when you plug it in. I recommend the steps from the following article to help troubleshoot what you are seeing:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
This is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
If the issue persists, I would next try uninstalling iTunes and all its associated softwares with either of the following articles depending on your version of Windows. Note: this will not affect your iTunes Library.

ATV2 Not showing in iTunes, and bricked, showing micro usb and iTunes logos

Hey all,
I was given an ATV2 for christmas a few weeks early, purchased new from Big W (Australia). I happily plugged it in on the 14th or 15th December (I can't quite remember, but I did find out later itunes match went live to a bunch of countries that day, which is why my itunes account crashed). I plugged it in, with the HDMI cable I purchased from australian apple store online, and the power cable. I connected happily to my home network, and started scrolling through the features. I came to a point in setup where it asked for my itunes ID and password. I entered these and it told me it couldn't recognise the apple ID or password.
I tried again, same. I checked my mac to see if it was iTunes or the ATV2 that had a problem... tried to log in, and it said the same error msg. Same on my iPhone and iPad. So I knew itunes was down, and later found out it crashed internationally for some people as itunes match went live.
Unfortunately for me, as I got that first error msg, I aborted trying to set up. I then had a pop up on the ATV2 asking me to update the software (I run the latest software on my mac, ipod, ipad, and have latest itunes by the way), I can't remember which version it had, but it asked me to update, and not knowing the login issue was accross platforms, I tried to log in again and update, hoping it was more a software issue. It seemed to begin updating then pop up with the same itunes error that it couldn't recognise the apple ID or password. At this point the device suddenly showed the micro USB to itunes logo and it became apparent it wanted me to plug into itunes for some R&R. Of course I didn't have a micro usb cable, and had to wait a week or so to get one since I live in the country with no tech shops around. It arrived and I tested it on my itrip as a charging cable. It charges my iphone nicely while plugged into the griffin itrip. So the cable works. I plugged the ATV2 into my imac (latest OSX 10.7.2 and latest itunes 10.5.2) and it doesn't come up in itunes at all. I tried a different USB port in the back of the computer as opposed to the keyboard. No luck. I tried plugging in the power cord as well, no luck. I tried a reset via ATV2 remote holiding the menu and down buttons until the LED light flashes super super fast (as opposed to its current fast flashing). No luck.
How do I get this thing to show up in itunes? Or how can I manually reboot it if it won't show? I live nowhere near a genius bar or even the shop where my family member purchased it, and they probably lost the reciept by now anyway so I doubt I could exchange.
Very dissapointed in Apple for not including HDMI cord or micro usb with the product, not to mention it was Apple's fault itunes crashed right as I was setting up. I'm a huge Apple fan but this is so annoying.
I have read something about router permissions and so on being a possible cause, is this likely? My ipad, iphone and mac never took issue with our wireless network or router previously, but it was setup a year ago and I have no idea what the settings are exactly. We also have two other imac's and a ibook connecting occasionally at home (big family) and no issues there.
I have home sharing on, I did everything the manual said. HELP!

Thanks everyone.
Alley_Cat I tried a new micro usb, as a last ditch effort before giving up entirely... SUCCESS! How strange the other micro usb charges my iphone via griffin iTrip perfectly, but wouldn't work with apple TV. Perhaps there are different kinds? Even more bizarre than Apple not including it in the box, is that they don't even SELL micro USB's on the Apple australian online store (or at least they didn't when I checked a week ago). Now that is stupid.
Anyway i'm mid-restore and software update now, fingers crossed!
Also on the HDMI cable inclusion/not inclusion debate... is it actually possible to use the Apple TV for any reason without one? Because my point is more that there is no way to do anything with the thing, without the cable. Printers that don't include usb connections usually are able to connect to your computer and network wirelessly, therefore perform their intended function without the cable. My point is simply if a device is meant to do something, you buy it expecting to do that thing. I'm lucky I had googled it and knew about the HDMI not being included, but even I missed the micro USB inclusion. At the very least this should be clearly marked on the exterior packaging so you know in store, you have to buy the device + HDMI + micro USB. Isn't Apple all about making 'things just work'?

My iphone is not showing in itunes, and it is not starting up iphoto when i connect it.
