My iPod will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download

My iPOD will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download
I already uninstall itunes and made sure there were no file left before I installed again (it didn't appear to be any files left but music I had on it before was still there when I reinstall it)
My ipod does work on my old computer and it was working on windows 8 before I update to  8.1
I don't want to installed again because I just did that and didn't work!
I want to use my iPod on this computer and system.  Can this be fix?

Hey TheBurntApple,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone connecting to iTunes for Windows. While you may have already attempted most of the steps in this article, I wished to provide it to you just in case something was omitted.

My computer recognizes it but as soon as I launch iTunes I get the error message: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. I have done ALL troubleshooting steps and it still gives me the error...... this only happend since I updated iTunes.

    Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following troubleshooting document?

  • IPhone will not connect to iTunes after ios 7.1.2 update

    I was updating my iPhone 4s to the new software update (ios 7.1.2) and my computer fell asleep. My iPhone now is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and when I plug it into my PC iTunes will not connect to it.
    I've tried putting it into recovery mode (won't allow me to slide to power off), and I've tried iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I've also tried rebooting my computer, updating iTunes and enter DFU and Recovery modes
    When plugged in my device manager recognizes that an apple device is plugged in that is in recovery mode....
    I'm trying to back up my phone while it has the most recent software so I can transfer it onto my new 5s
    Please help!!
    iPhone 4s
    Windows 7

    You've tried the following procedure?
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    If this still doesn't work, you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your device evaluated.

  • My IPhone will not connect to itunes after the new 11.1 update.

  • Ipod does not appear in itunes after windows scan and fix

    Two days ago, I restored my Ipod classic using Itunes 9.2.0.61. After restoration my Ipod started freezing Itunes and Vista. At a point, I saw a blue screen and my computer forced a shutdown. When it rebooted, Vista kept asking to automatically "scan and fix" problems on my Ipod. Thinking that would solve the "freeze" problem, I stupidly went ahead to have Vista scan and fix my Ipod. Now the freeze problem is gone, but my Ipod does not appear in Itunes. I have tried the five Rs from Apple, but that has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • I have an iPod Nano 5th Gen and it will not connect to iTunes after I insert the cable.

    I just received this iPod from a friend and iTuneswill not detect it after I connect it using the cables. All it does is charge the iPod.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • 7th Generation iPod Nano will not connect to iTunes after iTunes 11.1.4.62 update

    I updated iTunes to the 11.1.4.62 version last night. Now, when I connect my iPod Nano 7th gen device, iTunes gives me a message stating that an iPod has been connected but could not be indentifed properly, try reconnecting, unistall then reinstall iTunes, blah blah. Tried all that and none of it works. iPod worked fine on this computer on iTunes until this update. Windows 8.1 system.

  • My 160gb ipod will not connect to itunes

    I have tried to go to disc mode and have uninstalled and reinstalled software, but my itunes will not recognize my ipod. Once i bring up itunes it freezes as long as the ipod is connected. How do I restore my ipod without itunes? How can I fix this?????

    Hey there Clifpac,
    It sounds like you are connecting your iPod classic to your computer and iTunes becomes unresponsive until you unplug it.
    I want to recommend this article for you named:
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3219
    Install any available software updates for your computer.
    For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    For Windows: Refer to the documentation for your computer for instructions on using Windows Update to update your computer.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also download iTunes from the Apple website.
    For Windows: Use Apple Software Update, or download iTunes from the Apple website.
    Test with automatic syncing disabled.
    For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
    For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
    Reconnect your device and test to see if the issue still occurs. If your device is recognized successfully, you may be able to isolate which type of data is causing the issue. Do this by deselecting all syncing options under each of the syncing tabs and then sync. After that, re-enable your sync options one at a time until the issue returns.
    Note: If the issue only occurs when syncing data from the Info tab is enabled (For example: Contact, Calendar, Mail account or Bookmark syncing), reset the Sync History (for Mac OS X instructions see this article, for Windows see this article).
    Check your device for podcasts. If there are any podcasts, manually delete all podcast episodes from the device by sliding your finger across the podcast episode's name and tapping Delete. Once all podcasts are removed from your device, reconnect it to the computer, open iTunes, and test.
    If possible, test to see if connecting your device to a different computer with the latest version of iTunes installed resolves the issue.
    Test with iTunes plug-ins removed.
    Quit iTunes.
    Navigate to the following folder, based on your operating system:
    Windows XP:  C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
    Windows Vista or Windows 7:  C:\Users\[username]\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins   (The "~" represents your Home folder)
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
    If any files are in this folder, move them to the Desktop temporarily.
    Open iTunes and test to see if the issue is resolved. If so, you may leave these iTunes plug-ins removed. If you wish to re-use these iTunes plug-ins, consult the vendor for the iTunes plug-ins to see if any updates are available.
    If the issue also occurs on a different computer:
    If the issue does not occur on a different computer, or no other computer is available to try:

  • Ipad2 will not connect to itunes after newest update

    Updated Ipad2 and now itunes says it cannot connect to the Iphone??

    Update!!!
    Hope this helps - after spending hours on the phone with the Apple support line, I was connected with an AT&T engineer.
    As it turns out, I have an original Iphone....original phones were supplied with a BLANK sim card and needed to bae activated by Itunes only.  Once aan original Iphone SIM card is burned with your phone number it can your phone can NOT be updated with new soft ware via itunes or this problem will occur.
    Solution - go to AT&T, they will supply with a BLANK sim card (it can NOT be tied to your phone when they issue it) and then you go home and log into itunes.
    I was advised by the engineer that I should never update the software on my original iphone or this would occur.
    I will post one more reply after installing a blank SIM and activating via itunes - Hope this helps others others(i am surprised that no one else has went through this and posted)

  • My iPod will not connect to itunes

    ipod wouldnt connect to itunes on macbook. says i have to type in password on ipod, but ipod in disablied.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
      If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • IPod will not connect to iTunes... I'm not a hopeless tech illiterate...

    iPod Touch 4G would keep asking me to restore it and never let me sync it. I just reinstalled iTunes, and now it won't connect to iTunes and I can't go through the setup process on the iPod.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Maybe this:

    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...

  • My 120gb ipod will not connect to itunes.

    it shows up in windows as a hard drive.  my ipod says it has 0 songs, but that i only have about 10gb of free space.  i've gone through 5 or 6 of the troubleshooting steps and none have worked.  i still have the songs on my computer, but the ipod is not usable.  is there any fix for this?  id rather not have to delete everything or reformat or anything if i dont have to, but i dont want to just throw this in the garbage.  any help would be appreciated.

    Unfortunately, your iPod filesystem is corrupted, so you need to Restore it, which will erase ererything in the iPod.
    Here are a few reasons, why it get corrupted. (actually the filesystem is not updated)
    Disconnecting the iPod before it finalised writing the filesystem after a Sync. - be patient, wait 2 minutes after the OK to disconnect screen comes on.
    Timeout due to other Apps running like email, facebook, skype, web broswer. - Stop multitasking, disconnct from Internet
    Conected to slow USB port or USB hub  - Use the USB2.0 port at the back of the PC and disconnect all other USB devices.
    Have a nice day!
