My "iPod Classic (60GB) Click Wheel" is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows up in 'my computer'.

My iPod Classic (60GB) Clickwheel is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows in 'My Computer'.  The problem started with an error message in iTunes saying "Could not complete sync as devise may have become corrupt" and suggested I restore the iPod to factory settings which I have done several times.  I've carried out an error check in the iPod properties.  I've completely removed iTunes and all related software components in the correct order and reinstalled version 10.5.3. I have been through the 5 R's numerous times but still the iPod is not being recognised in iTunes. I have Windows XP, I'm tearing my hair out now so any help or suggestions would be great

Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • 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 6.1.3 not being recognised by iTunes 10.7

    Just got a secondhand iPod Touch. It is on 6.1.3 and I have iTunes 10.7 running on my iMac 10.6.8.  As far as I can see 6.1.3 is supported on iTunes 10.7.  I tried the Apple trouble-shooting page but to be honest it wasn't that helpful.
    If I set up Home Sharing then I can Home Share using the iPod Touch...which says that I do have connectivity at some level.  Just that it is not being recognised by iTunes and so I am unable to load my apps or transfer any music over.

    Many thanks lllaass
    I had gone through the first part without success but had decided not to go through the second stage. But following your recommendation I did just that and it works!

  • Iphone is not being recognised on itunes to sync?

    Hi, I have connected my iphone to my computer but it is not being recognised on itunes?can u help?

    I just replaced my 3GS with an iPhone 4 yesterday, and the new phone will not sync with iTunes. It pops up with the following error message whenever I hook it up:
    "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    I just got this phone from AT&T, and there are no updates available for either my computer or my phone, so they have to have the newest iTunes.
    Also, whenever I plug it in, the new phone does not appear under the "devices" tab on the left like my old one does.
    Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give me.

  • 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?

  • IPod touch not being recognised by iTunes, recognised in "My Computer"

    Hello,
    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, I have iTunes 10.
    I have tried restoring the iPod touch, I have tried switching it on and off. I have tried with each USB port, my security settings are fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I have restarted the computer. I have reset the ipod.
    It has still not been recognised by iTunes.
    What can I do to get the iPod touch to be recognised by iTunes?
    vvv on "My Computer" at the bottom I can see this. Here I can access my DCIM folder, which contains some photos and videos.
    iPod information; Version: 5.1.1 (9B206) Model: MD057BT

    Thanks,

    So the Apple Mobile Device serviced is installed and running on your system? You tried to uninstall and re-install iTunes and all Apple related software?

    Simply responding yes doesn't do much to help.  We need as much detail as we can get in order to help you troubleshoot this issue. Otherwise, we are just pulling at straws.

  • IPod not being recognised by iTunes or My Computer: How to Fix It

    For anyone whose iPod is not being recognized by "iTunes," and does not show up in "My Computer," but does show up in "Device Manager," and in "Safely Remove Hardware."
    This is a problem with the program DAEMON Tools, which can only get on your computer if you downloaded it. So if you didn't, then this post will probably not help.
    First, uninstall DAEMON Tools. Then, search the computer for the following two drivers:
    dtscsi.sys
    sptd*.sys
    Delete them both. You may need to uninstall, and then reinstall "iTunes." Your iPod should work fine after this.

    I'm not certain if you mean you can't find where to download it if you want to have it, or you can't find it to get rid of it, so I'll answer both:
    If you wish to download it (which I do NOT recommend because of issues with spyware, try a program called Alcohol 120% instead) go to
    http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php
    If you wish to get rid of it, it should be on your list of "Add or Remove Programs," if not, it isn't on your system

  • One answer to ipod not being recognised in itunes

    My 20gb ipod recently stopped being recognised in itunes but was still recognised in "My Computer".
    Having tried alot of the suggested solutions (more than once)nothing seemed to correct this. I resigned myself to being one of the many having a "half working" ipod.
    However my dad tried the following and it worked !!!!! I'm now a happy bunny again with fully working ipod.
    Here's what he did with the ipod connected to the PC:-
    Go into "My Computer" and right click on "homes ipod". Click on "Properties" then click on "Tools".
    Select "check now" under "Error Checking".
    Under "check disk options" select "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" and click "start".
    This took about 15/20 mins to run and seemed to "free" the ipod. "homes ipod" then appeared back in itunes.
    I very much hope this also helps someone else.
