  • I had to reinstall Itunes.  Now my ipod is not being recognized.  When I plug my Iphone in to Itunes it is recognized.

    I had to reinstall Itunes.  That was successful.  When I plug in my Iphone it shows up in devices.  However, when I plug in my Ipod it does not show up in the devices and it does not automatically synch.  What do I need to do?
    Thanks,
    Allen

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. 
    If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • Ipod not being recognized/freezing when connected to computer

    Hey all
    My Photo Ipod has stopped syncing with my computer. When I plug it into the firewire cable it just freezes on whatever screen it is on and doesnt appear in Itunes, or under My Computer. I have tried resetting the Ipod while it is connected to the computer, it gets so far as the apple screen and then locks up and stays on that screen till I unplug it. I know the issue is not the dock connector, because it works just fine when I plug it into my FM Transmittor in the car. Any help would be appreciatted.
    Thanks

  • 60 gb Video iPod (Windows) not being recognized

    My iPod is not being recognized by my desktop anymore. I have tried all suggestions (reset, reinstall iTunes, etc.) except a restore because the computer doesn't see it to do a restore. It does cause iTunes to freeze up when the iPod is attached, but can't see it. My laptop sees the iPod OK, so what do I try now so I can use with my desktop? Thanks!

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • Entourage 2008 not  being recognized as installed after migration to new iMac Mountain Lion.

    Hello Everyone!
    I;ve been browsing for answers to my problems for 2 days now. Office 2008 is not being recognized as installed on my machine. i have 2011 but i prefer Entourage as my defailt email client.
    What happens: when i try to access Entourage i get a getting started window asking me to either register my product or learn more. when i try installing the update 12.3.6 for Office 2008 it tells me it cannot be installed because the software componenet necessary for installation is not found on the disc. from this I gather the actual Office is not being recognized as installed.
    What I tried so far: I did all that was suggested on forums, such as checking to see if the MS office 2008 is in Applications, nothing was changed like the name of software or location of any of its components, tried getting the latest updates for the MS office 2008, tried installing on another user, none of these worked.
    I am still to try reinstalling but the disc i have is an upgrade from 2004 which will prob not work in this case, since anyway I understand that .dmg is not supported anymore.
    What can I do? anything that doesn't require me to use 2011, i do not like the Outlook in 2011. is there a way to activate my install of 2008 and use that? i really like Entourage, Outlook doesn't satisfy me.
    please help

    Reference your first post - I download and use dmg files, so either I'm lucky or they are supported.
    I would try the disk reinstall since at this point there doesn't seem to be many options.
    Do you have a backup? You could restore the Microsoft Office 2008 folder.

  • Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now

    i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?

    I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
    Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix...

  • IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

    Hello,
    After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
    What should I do now?

    Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
    What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.

  • TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

    My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
    Any suggestions?

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
