My ipod touch gen 5 is disabled and wont sync, i tried to reinstall the itunes (yes, the latest version) but still itunes doesnt recognized my device. help

Did you place the iPod in recovery mode? That is required for a disabled iPod
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

ITunes stopped recognizing iPhone 4S, iPad when I upgraded to 11.1

Once I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 today, iTunes stopped recognizing my iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Windows still recognizes them. The recommendations in the "iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes" support topic didn't work. Any ideas?"

Update!!

That thread will solve your issue. Mine's working now.

ITunes stopped recognizing my iPhone after upgrading to Leopard.

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and iTunes (8.0.2) stopped recognizing my iPhone while iPhoto still works with my iPhone (I was able to download photos from my phone using iPhoto).
What's going on?
It's crazy! When iPhoto recognizes my iPhone, either iTunes or iSync doesn't reads the phone. It doesn't even give any error messages.
I did every solution I found on the net. Repair permission, Remove Local folder in Library.. etc..etc.. none of them worked.

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

Itunes not recognizing my devices after installing 11.1.4

As per itunes message to update to latest version, I updated to 11.1.4 on my PC. I'm running windows 8.1, 64 bit. After updating and restarting computer, itunes will not recognize any of my devices. iphone4s, ipod touch 5g, ipod touch 4g. The devices "are" recognized on the computer when plugged in via usb. I guess this would indicate that the usb cables and the drivers are good.
All of my itunes libraries for the associated devices open up just fine. All of the contents are in tact. It's just that the device is not recognized in itunes when opened. Any suggestions would be much appeciated.

Windows 8.1, 64bit
It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
I tried many things, I may have missed a step below. But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
Make sure you are using an administrator account. Any of them on your machine will do for the following
a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    - connect your USB device
    - if ITunes loads, close it.
b) File explorer:
Open File explorer and browse to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
right click on the one ending in "INF"
Select Install. It's very quick.
remove the USB device
c) Restart the computer.
When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.

ITunes stopped recognizing my iPhone.

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and iTunes (8.0.2) stopped recognizing my iPhone while iPhoto still works with my iPhone (I was able to download photos from my phone using iPhoto).
What's going on?

I have essentially the same problem with my MacBookPro. I have recently installed Leopard (within the last month); my iTunes is 8.0.2; my iPhone is nearly one year old, not the 3G, but was relatively recently updated to 2.2 (5G77). I have automatic syncing turned off because of another problem with the phone deleting/duplicating/triplicating/etc. all/parts of various contact info, but that is another story as I have been able to manually sync until the Leopard upgrade.

Why is Itunes not recognizing my devices??

I updated my Itunes two days ago to iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit). Now my itunes will not recognize my Ipad or Iphone 5. I have iOS 7.0.4.
I have Windows 8. My computer is a Dell. It is about six months old. I have two different cables, and tried both. It will import my photos, so I know my computer is seeing the two devices, but nothing beyond that. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have shut down and restarted multiple times. I checked and I do not have a driver issue on my computer. Everything worked just fine before I did the update....
I have tried everything I can think of. I tried to Bluetooth versus using the cord, but for some reason I am unable to do that so that is not an option.
HELP!!!

Hello, Angiinkc.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

ITunes stopped recognizing my iPhone 4S after upgrading to 11.01

After upgrading iTunes to the latest version 11.01, my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized. No problem with my iPod.

Having the same problem, iTunes won't sync my music, gets to the last step in the process and just hangs there.
iPhone 4S on iOS 7
iTunes 11.1 on windows Vista.
Tried to uninstall/reinstall iTunes but didn't work.
Recreating the library didn't work.
Tried to sync single album with no luck.
Ensured the sync music checkbox was checked.
Phone has been reset, PC restarted several times.
Unless someone has a better suggestion looks like I will have to restore phone to factory settings and start from scratch.

Ipod nano 4gb not showing in itunes or recognized as device

Out of the blue my nano is not detected as a device with my Windows XP. First I tested my USB port to see if that was the issue. I connected a mouse which was recognized and worked fine. I then got another sync cord thinking maybe my cord went bad and that is not working either. When I used my old cord I received an error message that I exceeded the power limit on my hub port. Which is why I thought my cord was bad. With the second cord I get no such errow however the ipod is charging but doing nothing else. I've gone out to my device list to see if there were any visible errors or anything diabled and its not showing any. But its also not showing an ipod or mass hub device like it normally would. Any thoughts on the issue would be greatly appreciated!

My ipod is doing the same thing. could you please tell me how you fixed it?

ITunes stopped recognizing iPhone 3G S

Today I can't get Itunes to recognize that the IPhone is connected via the USB cable. I tried plugging, and unplugging the cable, tried a different USB port, tried shutting down and restarting the Phone, the Mac. The phone still charges via the USB cable. All software is up to date.
Is it possible that the USB cable has gone bad already? Or... the new IPhone port? Everything else seems to work fine.

I spent time on a support call with Apple this morning, and the issue was resolved. The support person was very knowledgeable and discovered that there was a specific file or process that is part of ITunes that had somehow been deleted. (There is no explanation for this). He then stepped me through removing all traces of iTunes from my computer, and re-downloading and installing iTunes, which resolved the problem.
It is very interesting that the iPhone will not charge from the USB port when this file is missing (besides the iPhone not being recognized by iTunes.)
