liquidsun,
Welcome to the discussions.
Have you tried using other ports to connect the iPod?
Have you tried resetting the iPod with it connected to the computer?

  • Windows 7 64bit no longer recognizes my iPod as of iTunes 10

    So as of 3 iTunes updates ago, which would be iTunes 10, my computer with windows 7 64bit no longer recognizes my iPod clickwheel, telling me the device has malfunctioned.. which it hasn't it works just fine with my windows XP pro machine. I tried updating the ipod's drivers and that didn't work, since the drivers are up to date for it.

    Looks like the USB Driver is gone. Windows doesn't seem to recognize the iPod touch.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the ipod.

    I have an ipod 4th touch 64 gig. Windows 7 will not recognize the ipod. It will make the noise of a connection and will only charge. It will not show in my computer as a hard drive. It will show in Itunes and other third party programs. I have searched the net and tried most of the advice to try and fix but will still not show as a hard drive.
    Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a fix?
    thanks

    I did read along the way about some of the ipods not being recognized as a HD. I just installed Iexplorer and looks like it will do the job. As long as I have something other than Itunes to see it as a HD. I use Syncios and Copy Trans and both work great as to transfer music. But to see the ipod as a HD iexplorer will do the Job.
    Again my ipod 4th gen will show in my computer but only the DCIM folder and a few other with pictures, no music folder or the control folder from the ipod.
    My ipad works great and another ipod the long thin ones work but not this ipod touch 4 gen 64 gig.
    Any other suggestions or help much appreciated
    thanks for the iexplorer it should help

  • After I reset my Ipod (deleted all data and settings) windows 7 doesn't recognize by ipod touch, and it doesn't appear in the itunes library or in the device menu, but it does charge. How can I get my computer to recognize it again?

  • My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.

    My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.  It has worked great for many days until today.
    I’ve tried two different Apple cables.
    I’ve tried different USB ports on the computer.
    I have rebooted both the Mac and the iPod.
    I’ve wiggled the cables and checked for dust in the connectors.
    The iPod charges using this same cable connected to wall wart.  That’s a good sign.
    Both the Mac and iPod seem to work fine separate from each other.  They just won’t talk anymore.
    Mac mini
    1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
    OS 10.4.11
    iTunes 9.2.1
    iPod Touch 32GB, version 3.1.3 (7E18), model PB533LL 

    I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
    turn off iPod
    hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
    When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
    When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
    Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
    This did not work for me.
    I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
    I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal.  :-)

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My pc no longer recognizes my ipod.  What can I do

    My pc will no longer recognize my ipod touch.  I looked in my computer not there.  ITunes does not see it either.  However, when I unplug it from my pc I get the usual sound of hardwear being disconnected.  Any ideas on how to get my pc to see my IPod?

    Try putting it on Recovery mode then restore it..
    Press or Hold the power and home keys 10 seconds.
    Screen goes black, now release the power button
    Make sure you do not release the Home key until
    your iTunes says "We have detected an itouch
    in recovery mode."
    After this its simple all you
    got to do is a simple restore using your iTunes

  • Windows Machines No Longer connecting to Shares

    Has anyone experienced issues with their Windows machines no longer connecting to Shares on the server. I have a Windows 7 machine and a Windows XP machine that were connecting to the Shares without any issue. Then this morning they just stopped connecting. I can ping the server both through its name and through its IP address from those computers but when trying to map a network drive all I am told they cannot find the server to connect. I have set all the appropriate security settings on both machines as suggested in numerous articles. SMB is turned on for the server.
    I have made no changes to the server in the last 24 hours other than to turn off file-sharing and turn it back on to address an issue with Time Machine backups not occuring due to image being locked in use.

    i have a vaguely similar issue, where my server is a member of the domain(workgroup on mac) - suddenly no users from the domain show in users panel,
    and connections are not accepted... 10.8.3/server 2.2.1

  • Windows 7 No Longer Recognizes The .zfsendtotarget File Extension

    My Windows 7 no longer recognizes the .zfsendtotarget file extension as of a few days ago. I don't know what happened or how to fix it other than possibly going back to an earlier point, which I cannot do due to all the progress, which will be lost.
    Besides, there must be a more intelligent course of action.

    Hi DJjarak,
    I just write to check your issue's status. Did it resolve?

  • After upgrading to Mavericks, my computer no longer recognizes my ipod.

    After upgrading to Mavericks, my computer no longer recognizes my ipod. Screen lights up when it's plugged in, but it doesn't get to the "connected" state and it doesn't show up on my computer, in the /Volumes folder or in iTunes. This has only started happening after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    I should also note, that I have restarted my computer and ipod multiple times and have attempted restarting the SMC on my mac, as per
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    all with no luck.
    Also, I have updated to the most recent version of iTunes and have checked that the USB ports are being read correctly through the System Profiler. I have also plugged the ipod into the same ports that worked with my keyboard and mouse, with no different results.

    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
