  • Ipod touch no longer showing up as a device in itunes

    My ipod touch (4th gen) is no longer visible as a device in iTunes.  This is a new development (it was fine the last time I connected my iPod to my PC about three weeks ago).  When I plug it into the PC (directly into a PC USB port) the PC beeps (confirming connection) and the device shows up in Windows explorer.  But the device is no longer recognized in iTunes (I have version 11.3.0.54).  Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

  • IPod Touch will not show up in Windows XP after iTunes 10.2.1 update

    After updating iTunes to 10.2.1 my 4G Touch will not show up in Windows XP to charge or to sync. I have been reading this forum and following the multiple Apple help and troubleshooting steps with no luck. I can get Windows to recognize and charge the Touch as a camera but it will not update the driver for Apple Mobile Device. I have come to the conclusion it is an Apple software problem. Does anyone know where I can get the previous Apple Mobile Device driver for Windows XP? I would like to give that a try. It's really disappointing....

    Upon uninstalling and re-installing all of the Apple software nothing has changed. I can see Apple Mobile Device Support in add/remove programs but when clicking on "repair" it cannot finish and says it encountered a fatal error and no changes have been made.
    The error I get trying to install the driver in Device Manager says "I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request".
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • IPod Touch 3G not showing up on desktop or in iTunes

    I have not had my iPod show up on the desktop for a long time. Now it's not showing up in iTunes. I have tried restarting everything, reinstalling iTunes, & every other suggestion mentioned in support. What else can I try?

    It will not and never has shown on the desktop like other iPods will.
    As for showing up in iTunes, you can try another USB port on your computer, or maybe another dock connector cable, if you have one. If your cable is damaged, you can order a warranty replacement here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:

  • My ipod touch 4g wont show 5.1 update, even on iTunes.

    When I try to update, It shows that there is no update avaliabe. It tells me I'm on 5.0.1, and there is nothing to update to. but the update was released today.

    Sorry, no. But it may be wise to wait until the rush to download is over.... Much less frustration that way.
