  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

  • My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden

    Hello, My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden.  Today before I went running I downloaded some new podcasts to listen to.  I plugged in my iPod and for some reason iTunes could not recognize my iPod nano.  I run iTunes on Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro and have successfully synced my iPod before with this system.  I do not know why it doesn't work now.
    Per the instructions on Apple Help, I went through the troubleshoot steps (i.e., restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, updating iTunes, etc.).  When all that failed, I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but this still does not work.
    I cannot afford to purchase help through Apple, but I like running and I like listening to new stuff when I run.  Can someone please help me on this board?  I am pretty good with walking myself through simple computer steps.
    Thank you in advance!

    Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

    Still no joy, see this.

  • Itunes does not recognize my Ipods

    I am running Windows Vista 64bit.  All of a sudden, my itunes does not recognize my Ipod touch or Ipod Nano.  As a matter of fact, I am not sure they ever connected since I installed 10.5.1.  I have tried to uninstall and install itunes like Apple suggests several times but I get the same result.  I have had the installation fail by not installing Apple Mobile Device Support so I somehow managed to install it eventually.  However, the result is the same.  Still not recognizing my IPODs.  The Ipods are recongized by Windows as I can see them in the Windows Explorer with no trouble.
    I tried to go back to 10.3.x and it did not work because it did not recognize something created from a newer version of itunes.  So although it looked like it installed, it never opened.
    How do you fix this?  Is there a way to install an older version of Itunes without loosing any data?

    I believe my problem is related to an incomplete uninstall of itunes.  I folled the directions in the Apple support pages but I have a feeling those directions are not complete.  I found this page on the interntet on how to completely remove itunes:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
    and I was wondering if anyone had used this or something similar.  Anyone know anything about this procedure?

  • Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano

    itunes does not recognize my ipod nano 6, it is a used one and has 1600 plus songs, it shows the songs, but won't let me do anything with them

    I had this exact problem. I had to plug the iPod into a USB port on the back of the computer tower not the fron ones. Hope this helps.

    The new version of iTunes does not recognize my Ipod-prior to this version, had no problem, Ipod showed up as list under the Imac library.  Now getting synch must erase setting! Help

    well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine  so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

    hi sally,
    see if this user tip by Yorkwill helps:
    +In the end what works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:+
    +1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in+
    +and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really+
    +matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).+
    +2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:+
    +o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)+
    +o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).+
    +o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!+
    +You should find the driver info in a sub folder of+
    +C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B+
    +Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder+
    +name into note pad – you’ll need it later)+
    +If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not+
    +been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.+
    +3. Locate the ipod-camera device:+
    +o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >+
    +Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager+
    +o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as+
    +‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.+
    +4. Update the driver:+
    +o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on+
    +‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.+
    +o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’+
    +o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check+
    +‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.+
    +In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder+
    +containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example+
    +above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), +
    +then click Next.+
    +You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue+
    +installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come+
    +to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.+
