My iTunes will not recognize my iPod Touch or iPhone 4, Windows 8 does though.

Anyone out there having the same issue? iTunes will not recognize it no matter what I do. I have followed all the advice about resetting it and redownloading iTunes, restarting the apple mobile device from the command center. I don't know what else to do but something has to be done. Also, it will not recognixe my phine either but it says that it needs drivers for that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My itunes will not recognize my ipod touch

    I'm using a Mac desktop and it/my itunes will not recognize my ipod touch. I have resent my ipod and have also done all the suggested things on the apple website and still it is not being recognized, I do not know what else I can do. My macbook will recognize my ipod touch but I don't want to sync it to that itunes since it is already out of date, I want to sync it to my desktop mac where I already have the latest version of itunes, and all the music I want to sync onto my ipod touch. What can I do?

  • ITunes will not recognize my Ipod touch.

    iTunes will not recognize my Ipod touch.  It attempts to perform a recovery, but must restore first.  but the restore fails, gives my 1604 code.  I have switched cords, USB ports all with no success.  I have a second touch (an older generation), a 160 GB Ipod & a shuffle that all work fine.  Not sure where to go.  One place said that I should reinstall iTunes, but wasn't sure if I would lost my library and apps.  Pleas advise.  Thanks.

    Try to reinstall iTunes as explained in this article:

    Backup your iTunes before, just in case. Apps and other bought media from iTunes can be downloaded again for free:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • ITunes will not recognize my iPod Touch 4 so I am not able to restore

    I am trying to restore my iPod Touch 4th Generation so I can get rid of the jailbreak but whenever I plug in my device, the computer recognizes it but not iTunes. I have managed to get it to recognize it a few times which is when I try to restore it, and I'll get to the point where it says "preparing for restore" or something to that effect, but it will stay like that so I cannot restore and get rid of my jailbreak. I know this may sound confusing but I can't think of another way to explain it and I really need help.

    Jailbreaking can have its unintended consequences. It is against the terms of use of the Apple forum to discuss/help with jailbreaking or or jailbroken devices.

    I use windows 7 and everything was fine until I updated to the most recent version of Itunes 10. something.  Now when I plug in my Ipod windows recognizes it but I get this message from Itunes: iTunes could not connect to this iPod because an unknown error occurred (0xE800000A) 
    Any ideas?

    Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck.  However...

  • HT1459 Serial number is faded and too small to read. Itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. How can I delete the current iPod software and reinstall it to see if this would solve the problem?

    I recently upgraded my Itunes softeware, now itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. If I delete the current IPod software and reinstall it, would this solve the problem, and if so, I'll need step by step instruction.

    Yep.

  • My itunes will not recognize my ipod shuffle after installing Mcafee

    My itunes will not recognize my Ipod shuffle, I have tried almost everything Itunes has suggested including uninstalling and installing Itunes.  I am at a loss, the computer recognizes the ipod and assigns a drive to it.  When I click on the drive there are flies in it.  I have disabled the firewall, checked all firewall settings as suggested in previous forums.  I have tried deleting the temp files but that keeps getting hung up on a file that says it is in use.  I can stll use my ipod because it charges but I can not update songs etc.
    I contacted Mcafee but all they did was turn the firewall off (I could have done that myself).
    If there is any help I would appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    Nadine

    The first thing I did in the morning was contact McAfee they turned the firewall off it didnt work so they said it wasnt their problem.  I attempted several other things using ITunes help but none of the solutions worked.  I would say it is something in my computer but the drive shows up in my files so the computer is reading the USB port.  I tried changing the drive but that didnt help.
    I cannot find a universal "OFF switch" in McAfee But I have turned the firewall off several times after many different attempts.
    I do not find an area where I can tell Itunes where the Ipod is in Windows Explorer, that would be helpful at least it could try to locate it then. You would think this feature would be available since Itunes would like us to purchase music through them to load on our equipment.  Since my computer does not recognize my Ipod there is no need for me to purchase music.
    Do I sound frusturated - I AM But I appreciate your trying to help.
