My iPod classic 120GB is not synching with my windows 7 computer. When I plug the iPod into the computer the latter makes a noise but no recognition takes place on either machine. Any suggestions please?

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?
How to reset iPod
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?

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for tips on repairing the iTunes installation. One of the tools mentioned there, Unlocker, should be able to force delete the files that you are having trouble removing.

  • Ipod Classic 160 will not synch with Itunes

    Message from Itunes when I connect Ipod Classic 160 is "Software required for communicating with the Ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes" I have reinstalled 7.6 several times and tried 7.5 but nothing works. I have tried the 5R's. Nothing. When I connect the Ipod to another older Seanix with Itunes 7.5, it works. Can anybody out there solve this problem. I have been going round and round for 10 hours. Cheers.

  • I recently tried to download two movies.  Would not complete download. Movies were removed from que, however, the Ipade now shows 10MB of "Other" content that I cannot delete. Any suggestions?

    Tried to download two movies. Neither was successful. Apple removed them from download que and reimbursed cost. Now I have 10MB of "Other" content that I cannot delete.  There are NO movies listed on the Ipad or Itunes to delete.  Any suggestions?

    To Scxy1234: I also don't know why my paste special options only had 3 choices excluding "device independent bitmap'
    To Steve Fan: I created the new second user account in my window 8. It was set as a standard account, not as administrator account as my first original user account. Specifically, i used the same email address with this forum account's to
    create this second user account. It means that the second user account in my laptop also was a Microsoft account.
    Can you guess what happened after i had logged in to the second user account? I opened some random websites by firefox, copied and pasted all text and pictures on these websites into a word document and onenote successfully without any problems!!!!
    I saved this word document and exported this onenote section to a Usb. After that, i switched from second standard user account to my window administrator account and opened the two files which were saved to Usb previously. They were opened and displayed
    normally as the same as what i previously had seen in the second user account, i.e. pasted text and pictures were displayed normally. However, when i opened the same web address again to copy the same text and pictures to word and onenote, there were only
    text lines pasted successfully, excluding pictures! This old strange problem happened again when using original administrator account for logging in window. In contrast, when using the second standard user account to log in window, copying and pasting text
    and online pictures of Microsoft office worked normally.
    I truly don't figure out the reason(s) caused this strange problem. I think my case is a special case because i tried all solutions other people had tried but nothing worked.
    Please help me!
    p/s: when i logged in the second standard user account, i opened the paste special options in word and there were only 3 choices under paste special options, excluding "device independent bitmap"

  • My dreamweaver  2 websote is not compatible with my windows 7 computer.

    I am ulnable to make changes to mhy website becauseit was designed usilng dreamweaver  2. and my new computer has windows 7 .My old computer had windows xp but that computer no longer works.. I had no problem accessing dreamweaver 2 with windows xp
    Every solution that I have heard about  is very expensive or very  hard to do.
    So far, the solutions that have heard about  are:
    1. hire someone to redesign my entire website using  a  much later edition of dreamweaver
    2. take windows xp off my old computer  and install it on my new computer
    3. Buy a widows xp  cd and install it on my new computer
    3. Buy a windows xp computer and use it instead of my windows 7 computer
    4 buy a windows xp computer and hook it and my windows 7 computer to the same monitor. The suggested techniques for doing this involve any of the following:
           A. get a vga signal splitter and reverse it using gender changer. or
          B.Best Buy suggested using a  KVM switch
    I am non-technical and will have to hire all of this to be done. Cost is very important.

    There are 2 things you could try.
    The first (which is unlikely to work, but simple) is to try running Dreamweaver in "compatIbility mode". To do this, right click the shortcut to Dreamweaver, select 'Properties' and then on one of the tabs (I forget which) there should be the option "Run this program in compatibility mode for". Select Windows XP (doesn't matter which SP you choose) and then try starting it again.
    The second thing you can do is use the new Windows 7 XP Mode. Basically this runs a virtual XP machine and gives you a (free) copy of Windows XP within Windows 7. You can get this from Microsoft here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
    Once that is installed, install Dreamweaver on the XP it loads on your computer.
    If either of these solutions aren't to your liking then either get a new Dreamweaver (which should have no problem reading your old site) or, as this is considerably expensive, consider an open source alternative (open source being free).
    There are many alternatives available, Google "Dreamweaver open source alternative" for a selection, but one I've liked in the past is Bluefish:
    http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html
    Although these options don't match the features of current versions of Dreamweaver, they are probably quite comparable to Dreamweaver 2 and most likely greatly surpass it (unless of course you're meaning Dreamweaver CS2).

  • My iPhone will not turn on or do anything. When I plug my iPhone into my computer to restore it it comes up with error 2001 or 21 and I've tried everything. Please help experienced apple users!

    Tittle says all! I need help! The iPhone 5 will not do anything when pluged in. Please help!

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • IPhone not synching with iTunes - Windows 8.1

    A quick search finds that Microsoft Support is referring people to this Apple forum.
    The iPhone does show in "This PC" (formerly "My Computer).  Device Manager reports that the device is working properly.
    I will keep looking, but any help is appreciated.
    Dell Laptop - Windows 8.1 - 64 bit - 4 gigabytes of RAM.

    The iPhone will only show in My Computer if there is content in the Camera Roll. The device cannot be searched/mounted like a removable drive.
    Do you have a passcode on the phone? Try disconnecting the phone from the computer, unlocking the phone with the passcode and then connecting the phone again. It seems that Windows 8 and 8.1 will not always recognize the phone if it is locked.
    If that does not work, then see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • The latest version of iTunes will not work with my windows platforms. It cannot access the windows runtime library.

    The latest iTunes can't access my windows (including Vista 32 & 64bit, nor Windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit versions) "Runtime" library. I've tried reloading the windows suggested .dll as well as doing a system restore and also downloaded the iTunes update and load it manually, but nothing will work. Is Apple aware of the problem and planning to release a fix, or do I have to abandon iTunes and my iPod?

    Hello there, Enantiomer.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some recommendations for troubleshooting:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.

  • Why is the message 'Charging is not supported with is accessory' showing up when I plug it in charge :/ it's a brand new phone and brand new charger.

    have you tried a different USB cable? If so and the issue remains, can your iPhone recharge using your boyfriend's charger. The charger might need to be replaced.

  • HT1222 why is my itune program not working with my windows 7 computer

    Windows 7 keeps shuting down my i tunes!

    Try resetting your printing system. In System Preferences/ Printers & Scanners, control click on the Printers box on the left and this brings up the Reset Print System option. This will clear all printers from the list and you can then add your printer again.
    Check the printer's USB cable connection, if it has one.
