I am having the same problem, and it started soon after I downloaded the latest update (not sure if that has anything to do with it, but others seem to be having the same problem after updating).
I posted a topic about it here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6955155#6955155
Let me know if you find the solution!

    Hello Rachet Jaw,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. I found a few articles I suggest for the issue you described.
    If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store, I recommend reviewing this article:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
    If you are still not able to access the store or are getting a different error than just a white screen, I recommend the following articles:

  • My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

    My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
    It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
    The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
    How do I fix this?

    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

  • Ipod will charge, but is not found

    Hello, I have had my Ipod Mini since march of this year(2005) and it has been working great up until about a few months ago. My Ipod will charge but is not recognized on the computer, and I have tried it in every one of my USB 2.0 slots(10 of them).
    When it is recognized sometimes it will update the songs onto my Ipod and then it will just disappear from my computer, like its not connected, but it will still charge. What I want is for when I open "My Computer" it will show that a Ipod is connected and I can open if from there. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be welcomed. And yes, I have tried every one of the support things on the site and in my Ipod booklet.

    Ive restarted my computer many times and its still the same, it only works about 15% fo the time, and when it does rihgt when it finishes updating it will act like its not there anymore.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • My ipod classic charges but cannot connect?!

    Whenever i connect my ipod classic to the comp it charges but it immediately says "ejecting" and then "ok to disconnect" i have tried many usb ports on my usb hub and none of them works. What do i do?

    Hello awks888,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I don't have very many suggestions for you, but the ones I do have are worth a shot. Have you tried manually forcing the iPod into *Disk Mode* while connected to your computer. This may help your iPod stay mounted long enough for you to Restore it via iTunes.
    [Putting iPod into Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363]
    If that doesn't do any good, try connecting and restoring the iPod on a different computer if at all possible. This will also help you determine if the problem lies with your iPod or with your computer itself.

  • HT4528 iphone 5 - dock will charge but not play music.

    I've read and read and read posts about this same problem with no solution found.
    I have an iphone 5 that just randomly quit playing music through any docking accessories.  It will continue to charge, but not play music.  It worked when I first got it, but later just stopped.  Same docking accessories, same cables, same phone.  Nothing changed, just quit working.  My phone is not jailbroken.  I have restored it.  I updated to the ios7 software which fixed the problem... for a day.  Now we are back to it not working again! 
    Please, if anyone knows a way to fix this, help me!!!  This is the whole reason why I own an iphone.  It keeps me from having to have a seperate phone and ipod!!!
    Thank you in advance.

    Try unplugging the docking station from power for a minute or so, then also in that time, reset your phone by holding the power button and the home button until it turns off. Then turn it back on and try again.

  • Ipad does not charge on being connected to a computer or itunes. please help

    On connecting to the computer, ipad is not charging. it syncs with itunes and gets updated but just wont charge on being connected to a computer ( I am using a windows Pc). Please help. However i have an iphone that charges perfectly with the same comp and the same itunes.
    any suggestions are welcome

    The iPad requires more power than the iPhone to charge it (it's wall charger is 10W as opposed to the iPhone's 5W), and a lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad

  • My ipod will charge but does not show in itunes or windows

    I tried to use my ipod as a disk to transfer my itunes library from my desktop to my notebook (both Dell), now my ipod charges, but does not show up in itunes or on either of my computers. I have used the advice of going to control panel and unchecking the box under power management but that didn't work, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE HELP ME?
    I have windows xp on one and vista on the other, if that helps.

    This worked for me, don't know if it will for you. Have ITunes open. While IPod is connected to computer press(at the same time) the menu and center buttons until your screen goes black and shows the apple icon then immediately press the forward button. Your IPod should show up. It won't hurt to try it, even if it doesn't work. Hope this is of some help to you.

  • My iphone4s will charge but not sync when connected to my macbook pro, using the latest itunes

    My iphone4s will charge when plugged into my macbook pro but will not sync. I am using the latest version of itunes and I already tried restarting both the computer and the device. What gives??

    After days mucking around this worked for me..
    For Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not  present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device  if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called  "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see  "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program  Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.

  • I have just got a iPod 5 gen 32gb and lightning adapter but can't get it to work with my docking station it will charge but not play audio please help??

    I have bought a 5th gen iPod and lightning adapter but it won't wrk on my docking station it charges but doesn't play audio? Please help

    Does the dock manufacture say it is compatible with the 5G iPod with iOS 6.0.1?
    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site? Contacted them?
    Try resetting the dock. How you do that depends upon the dock
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
