My ipod is not recognised since installing the latest Itunes update. Why is this?

Downloading the latest version of Itunes yesterday and have not been able to sync my ipod since then. An error message keeps coming up about the device not being recognised. Have gone over all of the support pages to solve this but have got nowhere. Wondering has anyone else had issues like this since yesterday and being able to sove this?

Hi CRONIN35,
We've an article (linked below) that serves as a good starting point for getting your computer and iTunes to properly recognize your iPod.

I have been using itunes on my windows based pc for years but since installing the latest itunes update I have been getting the error message A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes. (-42404)

I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
The 1st message is;
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Since installing the latest itunes update whenever I open itunes it stops working

since the latest update itunes has stopped working I open it then in about 30 seconds I get a message " itunes has stopped working". Whats going on??

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

HT1386 Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itune

Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
Thanks

Hi, jodie_0182.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

While attempting to install the latest iTunes update, version 10.5.3, I encountered an issue. I was forced to download this update manually which, after restarting my Windows 7, did not install properly. How do I get it to install this update?

The installer should have gone into your Apple Software Update folder:
C:\USERS\<user name>\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update
Right mouse click the msi file and select INSTALL

Since installing the latest software update I have been unable to access my mail app.the screen appears blank?

Force close the mail app and reset your iPad. See if that fixes it.
In order to close the mail app, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

ITunes no longer shows my iPhone after I installed the latest iTunes update.

I agreed to install the latest iTunes update and went through all the steps including rebooting. My phone then asked if I trusted the computer and I clicked "trust". It asked again and I clicked "trust". iTunes never opened automatically and when I opened iTunes, I saw that my iPhone5 was not listed; therefore, I can no longer sync. Then I rebooted my (Windows 7) computer again and experienced the same problems. I moved my phone to a different USB port but experienced the same problems.

I have an AT&T Uverse email account that keeps saying I have an "incorrect user name or password."
Perhapse it's the same issue since the Uverse e-mail is through Yahoo.

After installing the latest itunes update most of my music cannot be located. A box pops up and says the song cannot be found. What can I do?

I installed the latest itunes update and now I can't play most of my songs. A box pops up that says it cannot be located and asks me if I want to locate it and when I click on Yes it gives me all my files on the computer (dropdown box) and I don't know how to find them. Some of my songs will still play.

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Having the same issue.. All of playlists were deleted as well as the majority of my music can't be located. It seems the only music that can be located is the music I have purchased directly through itunes/iphone.
The location where itunes thinks my music file is:
"file://localhost/C:/Users/MY NAME/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/"
The actual location where my music file is:
"C:/Users/MY NAME/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/"
This is weird because I have not moved my music and it was working fine before I upgraded to the new iTunes...
My steps:
1) update itunes to latest version
2) plug in old phone take backup in itunes
3) plug in new phone and restore from that backup
I didn't notice the issue until I looked on my phone and all of music was missing from my phone along with playlists (minus the music I purchased directly from iphone/itunes.
Then I looked in itunes in my music library and saw itunes can't locate my music files. I also tried replacing the previous itunes library file as noted in the support link above but didn't do anything..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I installed the latest itunes update, 11.4.0.18. Now itunes crashes every time I try to open it.

I installed the latest itunes update and now nothing plays

I installed the latest itunes update and now nothing plays. No music, radio etc. Have others experienced a similar problem?

I just tested mine and my music and videos played without a problem. Suggest you re-download iTunes 10.4.

Missing MSVCR80.dll file after installing the latest itunes update

Does anyone know if Apple has posted a new download yet to rectify the problem of the missing MSVCR80dll file problem, caused by the last iTunes update? If not, what is the answer? I've tried repairing and unistalling and re-installing itunes and the old version of itunes and nothing seems to fix the problem. I don't feel inclined to spend loads of time trying to sort a problem caused a supposedly safe download, in fact should we not download the latest versions until they have had time to filter out problems like this?

1. No.

After the latest iTunes update, why does it keep asking me to enter my password to check for downloads?

After the latest iTunes upgrade, every time you open up iTunes, a window pops up asking you to sign in with your Apple ID to check for available downloads? Why is it asking this if your account is already stored on the computer? How do you stop this from asking each time? Thanks.

Hi Skip_Collins,
If iTunes is repeatedly prompting you for your password, you may find the following article about a similar issue helpful:
