My windows 7 computer will not detect my ipod since updating both itunes and windows.  I've tried downloading them again and testing the ipod on a different computer which does detect it.

My Windows 7 laptop won't detect my iPod since the last update of iTunes and Windows.  I've tried downloading them again. The apple device manager has an error message.

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

    What happens when you try to install the iTunes update? Error messages?
    You might have better luck posting in the iTunes forum sinc you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.

  • I got the newest iPod touch and it has a message cube thing like on an iPhone and when I try to send messages to my friends it will not let me. I thought it would need wifi so I tried it with that and it still doesn't work. Will someone please help me?

    Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
    Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
    Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

  • I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not load. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.

    Hi again,
    Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
    Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
    Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
    If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
    Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

  • Help, safari will not start at all since update to newest version

    Help, I am an admitted computer idiot- I always have had Macs because they are intuitive. My software updated automatically this week to the newest version of Safari, and now I cannot open Safari at all, I cannot even get to the Safari menu. I am using Firefox to type this - and I would rather use Safari as I am used to it. When I click on Safari the icon bounces up and down, then an error message appears saying that Safari quit unexpectedly, and do I want to send a message to Apple. I have clicked that message tab about 1000 times, no response.
    Can someone help me fix this- using very simple instructions, thank you

    We need to see a crash report, so restart Safari and when it crashes, copy the entire crash log and paste it into a reply window here. Notifying Apple is fine, but they will not respond, so you shouldn't expect that.

  • Cannot sync iPod since updating to iTunes 7.1

    My iPod is a 5th generation video model. I recently updated to iTunes 7.1 and when I first connected my iPod, it went to update the iPod software and then I got an error message "iPod cannot update - error (-48). Now, most of the time, iTunes doesn't even recognize when I plug in my iPod. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling my older version of iTunes, but I wondered if anyone else has run into this issue.

    Clarification...it says iPod cannot sync - error (-48).
    When I use the iPod Updater program it tells me my software is up to date.

  • Accidentally deleted iTunes, is there anyway I can download it again and have it just back up my iPod instead of clearing it of all data? All of iTunes files are still on my computer, but the actual program got deleted.

    I was trying to clear space on my C drive and decided to delete programs that I didn't use or that I didn't recognize. (Bad idea, I know that now.) Anyways, accidentally deleted a program that iTunes needed to run and the computer said it would undo the uninstall and restart to fix the problem but when it restarted iTunes was gone. So my question is, after I download iTunes again, is there a way I can just backup my iPod to it's last sync (which was coincidentally right before I accidentally deleted iTunes) instead it being cleared of all its data? All of iTunes' files are still on my computer except the actual program itself.

    Hi, InsaneCharlie. 
    Thanks for the question.  I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.  If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

    By design the iPad will only Sync with one iTunes at a Time, so what you are experiencing is expected behavior.

  • Computer will not boot when iPod is connected

    Hi everyone,
    First time Mac user here, so I'm not very experienced when it comes to troubleshooting - there may be a very simple fix for this, but I've searched online and come up with nothing so far.
    I've recently bought a 20" Intel-based iMac (Core 2 Duo). I'm using Boot Camp (1.1.2 Beta) to dual boot with Windows. I already owned a 30gb iPod, which has previously been used with a Windows laptop. The iPod has disk mode enabled as I use it for transporting data as well as music and video.
    Now that I'm using the iMac as my main comptuer, I keep the iPod docked & connected whenever I'm not out of the house in order to keep it charged & synchronised. However, if the iMac has to restart for any reason (like switching between Mac OS and Windows, or rebooting after a system update), it will not continue booting after making the chime sound. The screen remains white, holding the option key does not display the Boot Camp menu, and no matter how long it's left like this it will not continue to boot either OS. Pressing the Power button causes the computer to immediately switch off. Turning it on again after removing the iPod from the dock results in it booting normally.
    Has anyone had any similar experiences?
    Thanks

    hi xJamez
    Welcome to Discussions
    Because you said you use the iPod as an external hard drive, I am going to assume that it's not a nano, shuffle, or mini. What I suspect is that the computer is trying to boot from the iPod because the iPod actually has a hard drive in it, and the iMac thinks that it's an external hard drive that it can boot from. In the future, I would disconnect the iPod before each time you shut-down or restart your iMac.
    Hope this Helps

  • After installing iTunes and iPod, my computer will not turn off

    I am running Windows XP, and have just installed my new iPod nano and iTunes. Now my computer will not turn off. When I select "Turn off computer" in the start menu, the computer goes through the usual process of shutting down -- then it restarts automatically every time! Once it has started up again, it sends an Error report to windows -- but they are not coming forward with a solution for this problem. It appears as a problem created by an "Unknown device driver". I now have to turn my computer off by the wall. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Try running the Combo update first ... OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo), and once it is successfully downloaded, then try to download 10.8.5.
    Sometimes the combo will correct any minor glitches in the system and also ensure all necessary updates to that point are included.
