  • Ipod nano 1st gen is not recognized in itunes 10

    I updated my computer system to leopard 10.5.8 as well as the latest itunes 10. I bought a new ipod nano 6th gen, and it syncs and works fine. The problem I have is my old Ipod. It is detected by my power mac on the desktop only the icon it has is a folder, and when I open it is in blank. I open Itunes 10 and it doesn't appear. And I tried to follow the instructions on apple support, tried all ports, tried reseting the ipod, and it is still not showing up on itunes. Can someone help me with this please?
    Also, a white line showed up on the screen, does that mean the screen is broken? I can still see everything going on normally on the ipod but not where the line comes up (middle of the screen).

  • My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itune

    My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itunes or my computer.
    It has a list of instructions as to how to fix it and I followed them until it said to load the driver for the device from a disk.
    I have no such disk nor do I know of one.
    My computer said the driver is present but there is a problem installing it.
    Does anyone know of what disk they are talking about?

    Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?

  • After installing 11.2.2.3 iPod Classc. is wiped/"dead" (not recognized by iTunes, Win7 find the unit in explorer) and my iPod Touch refuse to comm with iPod interface in the car. Just wait for a iTunes update?

    Hi,
    I installed 11.2.2.3 2 days ago and have since then not been able to sync my iPod Classic (not recognized by iTunes anymore and alll data has been wiped but show up in Win explorer when in Disk mode with my label on it "Nik's iPod") my old iPod Touch appear to have all data left but doesn't communicate with my car anymore.
    Nedless to say none of the other Apple devices in our house will be updated or connected until this is resolved.
    Is this related to the iTunes update?
    If so should I just wait for a new update to come out that can help me get these things sorted?
    I have tried most of the different remedies listed in this forum to no avail and being computer illiterate (not comepletely but anyway) I just want to know if this is a known problem that I can successfully fix with a bit of fiddling or if its time to seek out a genius bar somewhere and get some help.
    Nik

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for the help but I am unfortunately still not able to get my iPod Classic to connect. I have tried all the tricks in the article that you linked to.
    One thing is that when I reset the iPod (menu and center until the logo pops up) I get a critical error in iTunes and it shuts down. Could that indicate that my problem is with the iTunes installation rather than the iPod?
    I have tried to re-install iTunes before but maybe I shpuld give it  a go again?
    Brgds,
    Nik

  • 5th Gen iPod Touch w. iOS 7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1

    On Wednesday I updated my 5th gen iPod Touch to iOS 7, and ran the latest iTunes 11.1 update on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5.
    For two days, everything worked fine, but today, when I plug in my fully charged iPod it is not recognized by iTunes.
    Some salient facts:
         1. My iPod shuffle is recognized by iTunes without problem when I plug it in to any USB port on my Mac.
         2. I tried all of Apple's troubleshooting suggestions - restarted iPod and computer, tried connecting to different USB ports on my Mac.
         3. My iPod touch will still charge when plugged in to my Mac.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    I did try all of Apple's troubleshooting suggestions.  It was the cable - Thanks for the tip!
    It didn't occur to me to suspect that my still-new, Apple-brand cable went bad the same week Apple released two major software updates.

  • Ipod in recovery mode is not recognized by itunes

    My Ipod has entered recovery mode, but it is not recognized by itunes.
    It has the recovery mode screen with the Itunes logo and all, but even when I disconnect it, shut it down, hold the home button and connect it again, Itunes won't recognize it (I have already tried with two different computers, PC and MAC).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    - Have you tried another cable?
    - I would try placing the iod in DFU mode.
