My iPod used to be recognised on "my computer" as a removable disc but no longer.

Prior to going on holiday I uploaded photos on to my iPod, no problem as it was recognised as a removable disc on "my computer", however, when on holiday the iPod stopped being recognised on "my computer", but was still recognised on iTunes.
Does anyone know what I can do to restore this function

This is great, BUT my pc does NOT recognise the ipad anymore, so I have nothing to import from..... it WAS recognised in the morning, but not by lunchtime on three different pc's. How do I get the pc's to recognise the ipad again??

You've pretty much exhausted everything so it is time to get it serviced. Is it in warranty?

Let the computer/iTunes download it. That is how Apple has it set up. When you restore via iTunes the IOS is reinstalled on the iPod. Thus, it needs to be on the computer.

Have you tried each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document yet?
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
Has this iPod Shuffle ever been able to successfully connect with this PC and sync with iTunes or is the first time you are connecting the iPod Shuffle to this PC?

In iTunes go to the Help menu in the upper menu bar. Then click on iTunes Help. Then on Sync your iPod, iPhone or iPad and follow the instructions.

Ipod "usb device not recognised" on one computer but works with another!

I have a 60GB ipod video and a 2GB ipod nano. Both connect fine to itunes on my work laptop but will not connect to my home laptop. They have previously worked fine with the home laptop but now when conected the message "usb device not recognised one of the usb devices connected to the computrt has malfunctioned". I have tried reinstalling itunes several times and tried the usual reset of the ipods etc but nothing seems to work.

If you have more then one USB port, try the other port.

any ideas please would be gratfeully received
matt

I too have a 30GB 5G iPod that crashes my computer. It is not recognized by XP and is not recognized by iTunes either. I changed USB ports, tried the Updater (Updater never worked since the computer did not recognize the iPod), uninstalled/reinstalled iTtunes, rolled back the registry to several days earlier, disabled antivirus software, etc. I have so much practice resetting the iPod I can now do it blindfolded. I have also tried the iPod on another computer with exactly the same results, but an iPod Nano works flawlessly. There seems to be no other remedy except to send the thing back but the Apple phones are jammed and I can't get through.
A quick search of this forum shows many other similar problems with 5th genertion iPods. What a disappointing purchase!!

My iPod is a nano from 2006 the computer that had my original iTunes ones long gone, is there away to load my iPod to a new iTunes. Each time I try it wants to erase my iPod? Help please

I havean iPod nano "2006" model,the computer that had my original iTunes is long gone is there away to load my songs a from my iPod on to a new itune account? Each time itryitwants to rewrite my nano? Help!

The "bar" at the bottom does not say anything about all of your songs being on the iPod. It just shows you how much of its storage capacity is being used, based on what is on the iPod.
If you see "On This iPod," that means the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible. This is easier to describe with the sidebar visible, so from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES. There is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if (?) your iTunes music library fits on the iPod. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the iPod, and new songs get synced automatically. A 7th gen iPod nano is 16GB, so your iTunes music library would have to be less than 16GB (not counting non-music content on the iPod). Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the iPod from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the iPod, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the iPod.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the iPod's Music screen) sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).

My iPod touch is not recognised by the computer or iTunes

I have recently whiped my laptop and did a clean install of Windows 7. Now the iPod and the computer both beep when I connectn it to the computer BUT it does not appear as a drive i the computer, it is not recognised in iTunes and it does not show to be that it is charging.
I have uninstalled iTunes and all the associsted softwar (in the order designated) and reinstalled iTunes, powered down and restarted both deviceses, and stopped and restarted the Apple Mibile Device software. I even tried to "restore" the iPod and did the whipe on it (bad choise) now it displays the cord and plug and is asking to be connected to iTunes. but the laptop and iPod are not talking past the initial beeps.
Not sure where to go from here.

Did you try everything here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

My nano 6th generation ipod is not being recognised by windows. have done all step recomended but no joy?

My ipod nano has suddenly stopped being recognised in itunes.Have uninstalled itunes and doenloaded again and installed latest version of vista,also installed google chrome.Also reset nano but still will not work.

Can't see your iPod in Windows Explorer or iTunes? Check Device Manager first (right-click on My Computer, choose Manage, and then select Device Manager). If no devices appear in the Windows Device Manager, then keep reading.
Note: If this started right after you updated your Windows XP computer to Service Pack 2, look here first:
Microsoft KB #893249
SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a Windows XP-based computer, the Device Manager window is blank or some devices no longer appear. If some devices do appear and you remove one device, all devices are removed from Device Manager.
Back to the top
CAUSE
This problem occurs because of a problem in the FixCSS.exe tool. When you install Windows XP SP2, the installer runs the FixCSS.exe tool to correct some mild corruptions. However, the FixCSS.exe tool does not delete the temporary subkeys in registry keys. Therefore, the temporary subkeys confuse the Plug and Play manager and many devices are incorrectly enumerated.

RESOLUTION
A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Only apply it to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next Windows XP service pack that contains this hotfix.

My iPod classic 80GB is recognised by my computer, but not by itunes.

I cant sync my iPod so cant update the music on it and dont know what to do. I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions and nothing has worked. I miss my iPod and dont really want to have to buy a new one. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank so much!

Your "music list" in iTunes is in your iTunes library, not your iPod, so I don't understand what you are describing.
In iTunes, select Music under LIBRARY in the iTunes sidebar.
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
That is your list of songs in iTunes, and it is there whether your iPod is connected or not.
When you connect the iPod, it should appear under DEVICES in the sidebar. Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod name, to drop down the iPod's content list (indented below the iPod). Click on Music there. To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. That list is separate from your iTunes library music list.
Can you describe the problem in your problem in more detail?

My ipod touch and all ipods are not being recognised on my computer?

Could the error number be: 0xE........?
Unknown Error containing "0xE" when restoring: To resolve this issue, follow the steps in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting. If you have a Windows computer with an Intel® 5 series/3400 series chipset, you may need updates for your chipset drivers.
