  • While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpcted error occured and now my ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer and all data has been removed. What can I do

    While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpected arror occured before my data was restored and now Itunes will not recognise my Ipod. My Ipod is also not seen as a device in My Computer but asks me to install drivers. What can I do?

    - First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    - Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

    - Next try DFU mode:

    - Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
    - If the other computer works and yours does not see:

  • Helpppp My Ipod Will not connect to itunes via my computer, but when i plug it into my laptop it connects but doesnt have all my songs on the itunes library. How can i add songs to my ipod via my laptop

    ??

    Nothing should be lost.
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...
    How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    NOTE:
    The 2nd Gen iPod Touch can only go to 4.2.1

  • My ipod will not sync with itunes.  The computer says its there but itunes does not.  I've tried everything suggested.  I keep getting an error message at the very end.

    Here is the error message I get.
    When iTunes does install, my ipod still won't sync because it's the wrong version.  I've tried doing the version it suggests and still nothing.

  • HT4623 My Ipod will not sync my Itunes Library! Please help

    I am not being able to sync my Ipod touch on my Itunes library. I was able to get all the apps, but no music. Also, some of the sogs I purchased as showing an error message saying it's not autorized to play, but I did purchase on my computer..
    Any help will be appreciated!

    Is the iPod signed into the account that purchased the music?
    Is iTune signed into the account?
    Is the computer authoris for that account?

  • My new 6th generation ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the help guide and the ipod is not recognized anywhere on the computer, not even as an 'unknown device.'

    I can't find any answers to this question besides a discussion from 2006 regarding a "SPTD driver installation" with a broken link.  I don't think it's the cable because I can still charge the ipod, but the device is not listed in My Computer or in the Device Manager or anywhere.  The ports work with other USB cables including my web cam.   Help, anyone? 

    If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure.  If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • New iPod nano not recognized by itunes, troubleshooting steps no help.  Ideas?

    Title pretty much says it all . . . have reinstalled S/W several times, followed troubleshootign steps, etc.  No joy.  Please help!

    Hello,
    The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
    Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
    <a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
    Have you checked this link out?:
    <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
    Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    If not...
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
    Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

  • I can't get my iPod Touch to connect to iTunes or my computer, help!?

    I have the latest version of iTunes, an account, ect. And when I plug my iPod Touch into the computer it doesn't register/show up at all. My computer doesn't show a mobile/removable device, or anything with Apple, iPod, or anything of the sort. Neither does iTunes.
    My iPod touch is an older model, but I don't know which one exactly. It was given to me by my sister in law, and she reset it to factory settings so it's a completely blank slate and I can't do anything with it other than turn it on and off.
    I've tried EVERYTHING on this site : http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/
    and even checked through some suggestions about drivers and things here in this help forum. I can't follow the steps because the drivers, or the device aren't showing up on my computer at all. Can someone please help me out here? I don't want to have this be a paper weight, I can't afford to buy a new one or anything.

    try connecting the device in _*recovery mode*_, then restore from your backup.
    also, make sure [_*Apple Mobile Device Service*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567] is installed and started.
