  • Ipod touch screen shows connecting to itunes when not connected to computer and will not go to start screen  also will not connect to itunes get message that passcode needs to be entered but cannot get to that screen on ipod

    ipod touch shows connecting to itunes on screen even when not connected to computer.  cannot get to start screen to enter my passcode

    Place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass the passcode (and essentially erase your iPod)  and then restore via iTunes on your computer.

  • My Ipod touch is recognized by itunes, but not by my computer!

    My hard drive recently crashed, and I had to get a new one. I lost all my songs, so I am trying to transfer them to my new harddrive, but windows only recoginzes my ipod touch as a camera, so I can't get to my songs. Help?

    There is no disk mode like it used to be with the older ipod models. If you bought your music in iTunes, make sure autosync is disabled, connect to your computer and right click on your ipod in the device list in iTunes.
    Choose "transfer purchases" to copy all media and apps bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    Also back up manually, to be able to restore your ipod after the first sync, which will erase your device due to the new iTunes library created on your HD.
    Make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your computer, to get the merge prompt while syncing contacts and calendars.
    More about backups here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    There is 3rd party software out there to copy media you did not buy in iTunes, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • My Ipod touch is recognized in iTunes, but not in My Computer

    I recently got a new computer and all my music is on my ipod, much of it was from cd's. To transfer my music on my ipod to my computer i believe my ipod needs to show up in my computer but it isn't... can anyone help?

    Okay, so i did some more looking into it and was able to answer my own question...
    The ipod touch wasnt programmed with the function to go into disk mode which is why it is not showing up in My Computer... (Something along these lines)
    I feel a little dumb now but i guess if anyone else had the same problem this could help...???
    To transfer the music from my ipod touch to computer i went to this link:
    www.wideanglesoftware.com
    and it was a life saver!
    i used the free download which allowed me 100 free music tranfers (which was just enough for me!) and was very easy to use!
    It allows you to copy the music on your ipod(as well as movies, videos, photos, etc...) to itunes in one simple step
    i hope this was helpful to someone... otherwise im just wasting my time...

  • My iPod touch isn't recognized by iTunes, but it is recognized by Windows.

    I'm using Windows 8 and it worked okay for a while. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes without success.  It works fine on my other computer (desktop Windows 7). Thanks for any suggestions

    Thanks for quick response. After I did the post I kept looking and stumbled upon the site you refer to. I tried a variety of things such as stoping and starting AMDS, re-installing iTunes etc. etc. Finally what I did was remove every vestige of  Apple software, restarting the computer and re-installing iTunes. I was very pleased with the result as not only does it now see my iPod but my library is totally intact including playlists, so no re-building required.
    The link that species these procedures is below.

  • Ipods fail to get recognized by itunes but appear in my computer - already tried different solutions

    Hello,
    i have iPod nano 6th generation 8GB and while it is recognized in My computer it isn't recognized in iTunes. When i plug the device on my mac it recognizes it and synces properly.
    When i first plugged my nano on my PC it said it can't be recognized or something like that (i didn't do printscreen on that one) so i proceeded and after i saw itunes downloading software i though this woudl take couple of minutes so i left the PC.
    when i came back i couldn't see it anywhere in itunes but i was able to see it in my computer like removable device (only with the nano icon) and i was able to see it in device manager.
    I have tried the "iPod troubleshooting assistant" and tried this:
    iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes >> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
    both without having any success.
    i wasn't able to complete 6. "Change your iPod's drive letter" as all of the options weren't available to click on.
    also i tried plugging my older iPod clasic that i use it very rarely since i started using my nano and same thing happened! first it said your device can't be detected please restore or something like that (i forgot to make a screenchot again, i know, so stupid).
    after that it didn't appeared in itunes and had all they sypmtoms the nano had but i tried doing the restore on my mac and it went great and synced data also but when i plug it back on my PC it was the same old story...
    my library is much bigger on my PC and i would like to sync my data from there as i don't want to keep a lot of stuff on my mac's SSD. all things point this is a PC issue (as expected) but i would like to fix things instead of doing a clean win 7 install as i have a lot of supplementary software i need to reinstall.
    any help is appreciated in advance.
    thanks. mile

    Hello Coobyj,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like something may have disabled the Apple Mobile Device Service, so I would check that next.
    This article should help with that:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    These 2 sections in particular:
    Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS)
    Set the Apple Mobile Device Service Startup type to Automatic

  • 5th gen ipod recognized by itunes but not by my computer.

    I wanted to add notes to my ipod but it's not showing up in 'my computer'. The ipod is still recognized in itunes and I can still add and remove songs.
    Whenever I plug it in to the computer I a message that says
    "Do you want to scan and fix ipod (:J)?
    There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it."
    When I click Scan and Fix it says "The disk check could not be peformed because Windows cannot access the disk."
    I've completely removed and reinstalled itunes and reset my ipod multiple times. I can't tell you how many time I've gone through the 5 Rs.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this? or If I can fix it? I have Windows Vista.

    Follow the instructions in this article.
    http://www.yourlocaltech.com/resolve-vista-scan-and-fix-error-when-plugging-in-i pod-or-other-devices/
    Usually this happens when the device was improperly ejected from your PC.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen works on itunes but not show on windows do i need a driver?

    When first time i connect my ipod touch says that the driver for this hardware did not pass windows logo test so i did not installed, and now i need the driver so windows can use it as a storage device anybody knows where or how to get that driver back. helpppp. 

    iPod Touches do not have a disk mode.  However, you can se the iPod in Windows explorer in order to move photos from the iPod to your computer.  You probably need to reinstall iTunes and install the unsigned driver.

  • HT1923 I had Windows 7 and Itunes recognized my Ipod Touch with no issues.  Now that I've upgraded to Windows 8 I can't get my Ipod Touch to be recognized by Itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I can't seem to get my Ipod touch to be recognized by Itunes now that I'm using my new upgraded Windows 8 Pro.  Has anyone else experienced this problem and do you have a solution?
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch doesn't recognized by itunes password

    My ipod touch doesn't recognized my itunes password, so I am not able to purchase anything from the ipod touch, but I am able to do it through my computer.

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in.
    This is assuming that your problem is that when you try to make a purchase the PW you enter at the prompt is said to be incorrect.
