My ipod is not being recognized by my computer AND itunes

When i connect my ipod, its not getting recognized by the computer AND itunes. i've read all the troubleshooting things and nothing works. is there someone who could help me please? i can't put any music, movies or anything on my ipod and just a while ago, all my songs got deleted so i'm listening to very little music now. please help me!
from,

Did you try using another usb port? my hardrive has two maybe yours does. And if you have a game console, some of those have usb ports so plug your ipod in there and see if that reconizes it.

  • My iPOD is not being recognized by my computer.....

    I have a 30GB white iPOD. It charges and everything. Nothing seems to be wrong with it. My computer can't recognized it. I can't load/unload songs beacuse of this. I have 2 2GB nanos (the new ones) that work fine. What do I do?

    You know, my new ipod (The 30 GB) was also not being recognized by my laptop and wasn't even charging.
    I think I finally figured out that the usb cord in my laptop didn't have enough power and now I am using my brothers desktop and it seems to work finally.
    HOWEVER, now that it didn't charge successfully the first time for a few hours like recommended and I was playing around with it to make it work, I am afraid that my battery is all messed up.
    When I thought I was charging it, it really was using up the battery. And there were times my computer would freeze in the middle of the process so I would have to restart my computer
    Would anyone know if my ipod will be ok?

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen. is not being recognized by my computer or itunes, it comes up as a USB drive, the cable is fine

    My ipod nano is not being recognized in iTunes or in Windows, it only shows up as a USB and when i plug it in it says 'do not disconnect'
    This happened after I put the ipod nano in Philips Ipod speakers.
    I've reset the ipod mulitple times, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, restarted my computer, and I can't restore the ipod because it doesnt register on my computer and it doesn't show up in itunes, but for some reason it still says dont disconnect.
    What should I do??

    just hold down the “-” button and the power button. when it says “ok to disconnect” hold down the powerbutton and the “-” button again.

  • Why is my old ipod nano not being recognized by my computer as being connected?

    my older ipod nano stopped being recognised as connected to my computer. it has also stopped being recognised on my xbox 360 arcade version. please advise on what to do

    I have also tried a different cable and giving it a brief charge before attempting to connect to the computer. There has been no problems connecting my iPad using the same cable or USB port and the issue remains the iPod.

  • MY IPOD SUDDENLY STOPPED BEING RECOGNIZED BY MY COMPUTER AND WOULDNT CHARGE

    I have a weird problem, when I plug my IPOD into my computer, it wouldnt be recognized at all (just lik if I had not plugged anything in). The Ipod would work play songs and work fine, but all of a sudden it would not trigger its detection on my Windows XP. It happened all of a sudden.
    It wont even charge, or appear in the list of devices... does anyone here have any idea of what could be the problem?
    Thanks a lot
    David.

    I had this problem before. It ended up that I called
    Apple and had to purchase an AppleCare Protection
    Plan for $50, only for them to tell me to reset my
    iPod. Here is how to do it:
    Put your iPod on a flat surface.
    Toggle the "hold" switch on and then off, to turn
    your iPod on.
    Press and hold the MENU and SELECT buttons
    simultaneously, until the Apple logo appears on the
    screen.
    Then try to connect your iPod to your comptuer
    again.
    I hope this helps!
    Wond3rlust, what kind iPod are you refering to? Im having the exact same problem with mine; it justs tarted doing this like alst week, but mine's an iPod shuffle, so it doesn't have "menu" and "select" buttons.
    But I'm having the same issue with my shuffle. I don't knwo why its doing this. If i knew it was going to cost problems when it isn't even a year odl yet I wouldn't of gotten the shuffle; I would've gotten the mini or something, but I thought, the shuffle being small and not very high tech and everything, that it would cause no problems at all...obviously i was wrong. I NEED HELP TOO!! IM NOTHING WITHOUT MY MUSIC!

  • My ipod isn't being recognized by my computer or itunes no matter what i do

    I have tried my ipod on two different computer , install the new software and everything i could possibly do but it does have the folder with the icon but other then that it is frozen.

    Got the same problem... ipod mini not recognised by the pc and the icon folder is displayed. Refused to reset or restore either from the pc via itunes or directly from the menu & set buttons on the ipod.
    any luck in resolving it?

  • My ancient iPod is not being recognized by the computer.

    If I plug my iPhone in using the same cord, the iPhone is recognized.  It was recognizing it earlier when I was trying to upload files. 
    Now it just has a message about coming to the support page.
    I haven't used it in a long time, but was hoping to salvage what I could to let a friend test out if she'd like to get one. 
    While plugged in it shows the battery icon, a little later will show the apple icon followed by the support link. 
    My computer is not recognizing it's existence so I cannot complete the last step (refreshing the software). 
    Have reset and retried. Restart doesn't seem to be the problem.  Problem seems to be wtihin iPod, but can no longer connect to reinstall or restore.

    That's the odd thing; there is no red X. 
    I left it plugged in overnight and all of yesterday.  This morning it was working, but still not recognized on iTunes (I had disconnected and reconnected before I could check it in iTunes.)  The when I tried to connect it again it started acting funny - not connecting, cycling through apple/support/battery screens . 
    I had suspected the battery was a problem, but I think you may be right - that the hard drive is gone.  I have someone locally who may be able to tell me if it's salvagable.  I'd like to have it last a few months for my friend, but I know it may be a lost cause at this point. 
    Thanks for the help.  I don't want to give her a fancy paperweight.  I wonder if the Apple store would consider looking at this thing or if it's just too old.

  • My ipod touch is not being recognized by my computer and gives no feedback when I connect it to my pc

    Hi... I really need some help from you guys. My ipod touch is not responding whenever I connect it to my PC. It gives no feedback. The battery image that is shown when I charge my ipod touch doesn't show up unlike if I charge it using the wall charger. I have used different kinds of ports and I ended up with similar things. No response! . However, I can still use my ipod and play music with it. The only problem is its syncing ability is gone. I have only used it for a year now and the warranty that came with it is expired. I hope I can get a good answer from you guys. ThanKs!!!

    I am afraid that the solution did not work... the ipod touch of mine seems really not functioning. It receives an electric isgnal from the computer but it doesnt sync at all... Whenever I put my ipod touch off and plug it to my computer it turns on but it doesnt sync... .. Moreover, I have used different PCs so as to try it syncing.. I have used mac book pro and windows 7 laptops but it gives similar feedback, which is NO FEEDBACK at all...

  • My iPod Touch (newest generation) won't sync and is not being recognized by my computer OR iTunes. It WILL charge through the wall charger. It is now stuck on a screen directing me to connect to iTunes. What can I do?

    I have restarted, reset, erased all data and network settings, tried different ports and different cords, restarted computers, reinstalled and updated iTunes... and now I cannot use my iPod at all. It is less than 6 months old, Apple won't help me on the phone unless I pay, and the nearest apple store is 2 hours away.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it  says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                  
    RecBoot tip
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod is not being recognized on my computer/iTunes

    Everything was fine until I synced my iPod, took it out, and then later, it got stuck in transition from playlist to "now playing". I plugged it in, and everything stopped working.
    Any help?

    Hmm... I'm confused. Is your iPod frozen?
    P.S. It's also a wise idea to ALWAYS eject your iPod before you disconnect.
