My Itunes doesn't recognize my new iPod classic

I got it got it checked at the apple store and the Apple associates told me there was something wrong with my itunes driver, but they didnt want to try and fix it because none of them knew how to fix a PC

This may sound lame but try updating your Windows updates and also update your iTunes. I may be wrong but iTunes doesnt really have a driver. Does your computer recognize something is plugged in when you plug the iPod in? If your computer doesnt recoginze youriPod then try plugging it into a different USB, perferable the ones in the back of the computer.
If that doesnt work you need to go to Control Panel and find your way to Device Manager and right click on the USB one and click look for updates.

My iTunes won't recognize my new iPod nano 5th generation

Alright, my parents got my the new iPod nano for Christmas, and when I connected it to my Windows Vista, to charge and sync, it was charged, but it was not recognized in iTunes. I tried updating and the 5R's but it wouldn't work. iTunes is acting like it doesn't exist. Help?

I had a similar issue with a XP machine. The Nano charged but I never got the onscreen setup instructions and Itunes did not list the device. I tried a lot of technical stuff with no luck and finally spoke with an Apple Expert.
Here was the fix for me:
I downloaded Itunes to another computer (also XP, same firewall, etc). Plugged in the Nano and miraculously I was able to set it up, name the device and also update it with the latest software. When I plugged it back into the PC it recognized it just fine. Must be something flukey with the setup or maybe the update helped fix a few bugs.
If you have other computers available, try it on them first with latest Itunes version. Hope this helps.

Itunes will not recognize my new Ipod Nano

It will charge but my computer says a driver needs to be installed but it cannot find it and iTunes does not recognize it at all. Any help?

Okay. Maybe they're looking for the usbaapl.sys driver as well.
Try to bring the Hardware wizard up again. This time browse to:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
... and select the usbaapl.sys file.
Any better luck with that one?

Itunes won't recognize my new ipod

I gave my cousin a new 3rd gen nano. Itunes is fine but the device simply shows an ipod and brings up the agreement. the choice is 'save' or 'cancel.' cancel does nothing and save sends me to a save as a doc. i've updated both itunes and ipod software and reset everything yet nothing seems to work.
help!

Your screen resolution may be preventing you from seeing the entire agreement screen to pick the button to agree.
So change your screen resolution to something like 1024 or larger and then see if you can see all the buttons in the agreement. Agree to it, then you can resize your screen resolution back to what it was before.

ITunes doesn't recognize my updated iPod

Using iTunes 5.0.1 I upgraded my iPod software to 1.2 for my color iPod. I still get the message that I cannot use purchased music because my software is too old. On the iPod the version says it is 1.2. I tried repairing permissions but it didn't help. I tried reinstalling iTunes 5.0 and that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

Hello mhill10633,
Based on your post, it sounds as if your device is not recognized by iTunes for Windows. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:

ITunes won't recognize my new router

http://www.linksysbycisco.com/EU/en/products/WRT54GL
I recently set up this router at my house and so far it's been working great with the only issue being me having to push the router reset button everytime I turn on my computer after having stopped using the router for awhile.
Problem is that even if I am connected to the internet, itunes doesn't recognize my new connection and because of this it won't connect to the store/internet. I have found no setting to choose an internet.

Thanks for the help, and I agree I don't like having to push the rest button but I didn't really know where to go for help
Here's the test results...I took out my IP address because I can't help but feel that's not something I should pos ton the internet. Something I noticed before but forgot about was that if I click on the itunes store it actually loads the store...even though itunes says it can't connect.

Need Help Getting New iPod Classic to work on system with existing iPods

I have an iPod shuffle (for workouts) and an iPod photo 60GB which I have had for some time. I have iTunes 8.
Got a new iPod Classic 120 GB for Father's Day - I cannot get it to work with iTunes yet. Plugged it in and nothing happened. iTunes just acted normal, no setup assistant, nothing. Going to reboot and see if it does the same thing, but in the meantime I am hoping someone here can advise.
Thanks in advance,
jf

Turns out, of all things, it was the cable - seems the 'old' cable does not work with new iPods, but the newer cable that comes with Classics works with everything - cable was updated somehow, per Apple.
Thanks,
jf

My Nano took a trip thru the washer and dryer and I assume it is destroyed. My wife bought me a new one, but Itunes doesn't recognize it, although my computer does. How do I get pack into my music, I don't want to start all over again?

How do I get Itunes to recognize it. I spent a lot of time recording my old cassetes and don't want to start all over again. I just want to get back to where I was.

IPOD's not UPDATING, ITUNES doesn't recognize internet logon

I cannot update my ipod nano 1st gen. 'cause itunes doesn't recognize internet and the ipod updater. Have to say that Itunes store is available and i don't have any antivirus software installed on my mac.
anybody will help me?please...
i've got the 1.2 version for ipod and i couldn't download the 1.3 version.
THANKS

No, first of all i've got a MacBook not with dual core
I suspect an error with the connection type 'cause at work i receive this kind of problem and at home not.
I solved the problem with the ipod updater yesterday, at home i successfully updated it but today i get a new error message while contacting itunes server:
I cannot process the request, an unknown error occurred on itunes server (error type -206)!
Do you know why?may it depend by the Office server?
thanks

ITunes doesn't recognize iPod since last software update

I updated to iTunes 5.0.1 & iPod 2005-09-23 updater & now when I plug in the iPod w/ USB to my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.2, iTunes doesn't recognize it-- no icon in bottom-right grey area, nor left-hand column-- and the iPod says "Do not disconnect." Which means I'm kinda stuck. Tried restarting, didn't help. Advice? Thanks.

I have the EXACT same problem. Support line suggeste that the iPod updater must have newer software than the iTunes, so I should go to Apple & download the iTunes update. Well, I did, and it didn't do a @#%ing thing to help. I'm NEW to mac & I'm P.O.'ed!!! (paid significantly extra money for iBook compared to Dell, etc since it's supposedly so easy & user-friendly... NOT an impressive start!!!)

Itune doesn't recognize ipod shuffle

Itune doesn't recognize my ipod shuffle(first generation). please help me!

I've been searching for days on this kind of thing and always see the same frustration from fellow iTunes/iPod users -- the new version of iTunes won't recognize their iPod. Tonight I saw something that looked so simple that I had to try it, AND IT WORKED.
Press the MENU (not play/pause) and CENTER button and hold until iPod turns off and on again. Plug into your computer and hopefully iTunes will recognize it like it did for me, first time. I was completely blown away, because I had tried everything else for MONTHS!!!
Good luck to everyone.
