Can anyone give advice on how I can get this thing capable of

  • TS1369 iPod Classic is not recognised by iTunes or by my PC (XP)

    Hi
    Since I updated my iTunes over a week agao I can no longer sync my iPod Classic as it is not recognised by iTunes or by my PC (XP).  Apple have been great so far and have sent me lots of links and called many times to try to resolve the issue, but to no effect.  They kindly agreed to replace the iPod as it appeared there is a hardware fault as a result of the update, BUT last night my housemate went to update his iPod Nano for his holiday (he uses the same PC but logs in under a different system user and has his own iTunes) and he now has the same problem!!!!!
    I have done everything on this link:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Checked the USB port works with other hardware (yes)
    Changed the iPod cable (yes)
    Removed and resinstalled itunes (yes)
    Placed iPod into disc mode (yes)
    Reinstalled the USB drivers (yes)
    None of it works!  Other hardware works in the USB ports and my iPod is recognised in my work PC!  So something during the iTunes update has caused a major problem that I can't seem to fix I assume on my PC.  When I reinstall the USB drive, the PC then has a pop saying that an ipod is connected, and then immediately after a new pop up saying there is a hardware issue! Aaaaargh.
    At a loss... Any suggestions?
    (The screen of my housemates iPOd nano went blank a few weeks ago and wasuseless, so an apple store replaced it for him; so his new nano is only 5 weeks old!)
    Cheers

  • New Ipod Classic 160Gb not recognising songs in Itunes library

    I have just purchased a new Ipod Classic. There are 800 songs in my Itunes library that are not syncing to the new Ipod. There were no problems with my old Ipod 5th Gen.
    The songs that are not syncing are songs that I have loaded into Itunes from my own CDs.
    Does anybody know why or how to fix this problem.
    I am not manually syncing, I have told Itunes that I want to sync all songs with this new Ipod.

    This is Apple's brilliant new marketing scheme: we'll make all our new iPods NON compatible with older OSX's - then, oh my god! People will be forced to pay for an OS upgrade. Just another example of how Apple loooves to wow us with their sleek functioning products, then hit a us with a curveball (machines die the day your warranty is up, items not compatible) and hope we will still be wowed by their products. My iPod died after a hearty 2 years of service (NOT long enough after having spent $300 on it), I go out to buy a new itouch, and what do you know - not compatible with my itunes. Now cannot get my 5000 songs onto my portable music player. Wish I could use a Zune.

  • IPod classic is not recognised by itunes but is by windows - please help

    Hi there.... as title suggests my ipod as of today is refusing to be even recognized by itunes despite it being perfectly happy in my computer. I have tried every step that itunes support suggested with the end result meaning that it now has none of my music on it, so that went well.
    Just before it properly went down I would get something along the lines of Cannot sync - \"Required File Could Not Be Found\" Any ideas?

    Hi, I've been bothering with the same problem on the last two days, and also tried everything apple support had to offer, but to no effect.
    By accident and pure luck, I got out of this mess by the following steps (that will maybe help you):
    Go to "My Computer".
    Look out for the iPodClassic Drive.
    Open it.
    Open the folder "iPod_Control"
    Open the folder "iTunes"
    Look for "extras". It's the iTunes Data Source.
    Open it.
    There I was. iPod back in iTunes.
    Hope it will work out for you, too.
    Cheers.

  • WE have 2 Ipod classics and 1 IPod touch. One of the classics is not recognised by itunes library under devices and cannot be synchrinised with a playlist

    We have 2 Ipod classics and 1 Ipod touch. One of the classics is not recognised by the itunes library and therfore canoot be synchonised with a playlist.

    The second shuffle cannot be recognized by this computer ("USB Device Cannot be Recognized") so I don't think I'm able to reset it using that (it says "iPod is not recognized by iTunes, but is *visible in My Computer or in Device Manager* on a Windows PC, or in Apple System Profiler on a Mac.")
    Like I said though, it works on other computers just fine and is visible so I don't quite understand what's up with this computer.

  • My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

    My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.  The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device.  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect.  The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable.  When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine).  There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo.  Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?  I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

    Hi,
    My Ipod classic is not reflecting in Itunes which I have recently downloaded but it reflects in my computer as a hard disk.
    Please give me a solution.
    Thanks

    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Also see these (if you haven't found them already):

    iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • My Ipod Touch is not recognised in itunes or my computer but still charges, Please help

    My Ipod Touch is not recognised in itunes or my computer but still charges when connected via USB Please help

    Did plugging it into another USB port do any good? Make sure it is a USB port on the back of your PC and not via a USB hub or one on the front as they sometimes do not output enough power for the iPod to properly communicate with your PC.
    Do you have another 30 pin dock connector cable around you use to try and rule out a faulty cable? 
    Did you try a hard reset of the device with it still connected to your PC?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    With the article above were you able to verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service was installing and running on your system?
    Lastly, try plugging it into a different PC to see if it is recognized there.  It can help narrow down whether it is an issue with the iPod or with your PC.
