Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you have restored, the computer is recognizing it, right?
Try which ever one of these applies...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

  • My Ipod Nano 5th generation is not being detected by Widows and Itunes. I have tried everything based on the trouble shooting tips outlined. Has anyone had this situation before? How was it resolved. My Ipod is just out of warrenty

    Have done all trouble shooting tech a through Apples and still have not resolved issues on Windows and itunes not detecting my Ipod  nano 5th generation device. Tried restoring the device manually using disk mode and still not being detected by the computer. Device is our of warenty as when service repair charges are $125.00 dolars more than I paid for this device. There must be some way to restore the entire device to factor settings without having to be connected to itunes and Windows. I wish I could connect but again device is not being read. I have another Ipod that is 8GB instaed of 16GB and it works fine. The sad thing about this situation is that my 9year old daughter worked hard doing delivering fliers for a long time to save her money to buy this 16 GB 5th generation Nano. Otherwise the Ipod works well but will not syncronize songs as it is not being detected. Maybe this is a result of corrupt files that got onto my daughters Ipod somehow and thus causing it not the be detwected through the USB connection thus as a result not be understoud as a working device through Windows and itunes. If anyone can help me out there including itune techs that would be well appreciated, but for now my daughter is not able to add new or delete any songs on her ipod as well pictures, and everything. Thanks

    Try changing the cord. I could NOT get my computer to recognize my iPod 5th Gen until I read somewhere that different apple devices use different cords. I was inadvertently using my iPad cord and that caused my computer to not recognize my ipod.

  • IPhone not being detected by computer, stuck in DFU mode. Please help.

    My iPhone is not being detected by my computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times to no avail. This occurred during a restore in which the computer lost connection to the phone and left it in DFU mode. Please help. I also must add that my lock button is broken as well.

    If your button is broken there's probably no way to recover the phone. You will need to get the hardware problem resolved first.

  • IPhone 4S won't charge, but is recognized by the computer and shows that my iPhone is charging?

    Hi. I have a problem with my iPhone 4S
    So today, I connected the iPhone 4S with the wall charger, since my battery is low. My battery percentage is at 8 %. The funny thing is, it shows on the status bar that my iPhone is charging. But it has not gone pass the 8 %, it is still showing me 8 %!
    Also, I tried connecting it to the computer and the same thing happens. It will however, connect to iTunes and all.
    What can be the problem? And yes, I tried restoring my iPhone and resetting it by holding power and home button for 10 seconds. No progress, it is the same problem occuring.

    I also tried blowing the cleaning the connector. No progress.
    It is kind of weird that it shows the charging icon on the status bar, but it does not actually charge (since it gets stuck at the percentage it was). Now it has gone to 7 % and does not increase at all.

  • 3rd gen 20GB iPod not being detected / freezing computer

    One day I plugged in my iPod before I left for work so it would charge, and when I came back it was still stuck on the do not disconnect screen. This was before I knew you could reset the iPod with the select/menu buttons, so I just left it for a bit. Then I went on here to figure out how to reset it, did it, then there was the corrupted file error.
    Ever since then, whenever I plug the iPod into the computer, it basically freezes anything that the iPod is related to and stays at the do not disconnect screen. If I have My Computer open, it locks up, and after maybe 20 minutes, "Removable Disk" shows up, and when I right click it, it locks up for a long time again. If I restart with the iPod still plugged in, it freezes at the empty desktop without the start bar even loaded until I unplug it.
    I have tried 4 of the 5 R's MANY MANY times. I've been trying to restore many times too, but when I load the updater, it freezes as well, and eventually says could not mount iPod. I have tried uninstalling the drivers for the device, only to have it re install them and have the exact same problem. I have tried loading the iPod on my sisters computer but it froze as well. I have tried different USB ports, and different cables. I have no idea what to do. I don't care if I lose everything, if that's what it takes just to be able to use it again (I have all the songs on my computer), but like I said, I can't even restore it.
    Oh, I also tried configuring it as if it was the first time using the iPod, and it froze as well.
      Windows XP  

    I forgot to add that it heats up when it's frozen, connected to the computer.
    And also, when I try to play music, it plays a random amount of the song. Just randomly in the middle of the song, or even 10 seconds in, it freezes for like 30 seconds then goes to the next song. I haven't found one working song yet. And yes, it is random, I have heard like 2 minutes of a song thats only worked for 10 seconds previously, so obviously the data is still obtainable, I don't know why it isn't working.

  • Ipod touch charging but not being seen in itunes

    ATM, I've restarted my ipod touch up to 5 times and reinstalled itunes at least 2 times completely. Still, I get the error:
    "Itunes could not connect to the Ipod because an invalid response was received from the device."
    My mac is updated (unless you count the spending safari update!) I also tried it with my co-workers iphone and I get a similar response. Itunes lags for a moment, and then the error pops up. Both devices acknowledge that they are connected to USB and start charging.
    I plugged my ipod touch into a family member's mac and itunes recognizes it there. Please help me out?

    Did you also reinstall Apple Mobile Device Service? See this article how to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

    I am having the same problem, and it started soon after I downloaded the latest update (not sure if that has anything to do with it, but others seem to be having the same problem after updating).

  • Flash 10 installed but not being detected by numerous sites

    Hi!
    I have installed and re-installed Flash 10 numerous times
    over the past day trying to get it to work. I have followed the
    "Trouble Installing Flash for Windows" solutions including Subinacl
    and everything else that is suggested there. I have also deleted
    the Configuration Flag Registry Key that was mentioned in another
    Adobe bulletin. I tried uninstalling flash using the utility from
    safe mode to ensure nothing else was using flash, I also
    uninstalled it from the cmd prompt. I downloaded all the installers
    to my desktop so everything is running from there. When I go to the
    Adobe site that verifies the version, it recognizes the correct
    version that I have installed. I've lowered my security levels to
    precarious levels and I'm all out of options. I am running IE7,
    Windows Vista business, and Flash 10. I went to some of the Adobe
    sites of the day to try and see if it was working and here were the
    results:
    www.cbc.ca/thetudors - Shows black screen where Flash should
    play and shows the yellow triangle done with errors icon with the
    following error - "unexpected call to method or property access"
    www.gettheglass.com - Successfully played the game and no
    issues were experienced
    www.forces.ca - Error message saying I don't have the correct
    flash installed
    www.thestar.com/sports - Flash video player worked with no
    issues
    www.youtube.com - videos work with no issue
    I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working and I need the
    Flash player for an online course I started on Saturday. When I log
    on to that site it tells me that I don't have the current version
    of Flash installed either.
    Any help would be great!!!
    Jay

    Mknmuzic:
    I spoke with the Tech support for my school and they said it
    was a known issue for them that has crept up in the last few weeks.
    Their solution was to uninstall Flash using the uninstaller from
    the Adobe website, download and install Firefox, when Firefox asks
    to keep your existing settings choose NO, then go to the Adobe
    website and install Flash using the Firefox browser. I was rolling
    my eyes the whole time they told me this because I wasted so much
    time yesterday, but I'm happy to say this worked perfectly. All the
    sites I listed that were not working are currently working with
    Firefox.
    Hopefully there is a fix for the IE issue soon.....

  • Flash 10.... is installed, but not being detected by websites

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest edition of Flash.  I have even updated my Java program.  I'm running IE8 and Windows 7.
    After Flash installation, I can see the animation on the Adobe website proving that it was installed.  However, when I go to certain websites (e.g. PBSkids.org, shutterfly.com), it says that I need to install Flash!
    I also have the latest Shockwave installed and Reader; both are working fine.
    I have rebooted my computer.  I've checked my IE settings.
    HELP!
    (Coincidentally, Flash works on my new laptop, also running IE8 and Windows 7).
    Thanks!

    Thanks in advance... any help would be greatly appreciated. My iPod was kicking until now

  • My 4 gen iPod Touch is charging, but it doesn't say so and isn't being detected by iTunes or my computer?

    So I've had the charging problem for a really long time now, and I haven't really minded it until now. The iPod still charges, but the battery icon doesn't light up or show the little lightning bolt anymore. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but now when I want to update it to IOS 6 I can't because neither my computer or iTunes detects it. It gets annoying because a lot of apps need at least IOS 5 to download. I am using Windows and iTunes 11.0.2.26.
    Thanks.

    Hey bcollins1,
    There are a few articles that go over some troubleshooting steps to resolve that issue. If you're seeing the device recognized in My Computer on your Windows machine, just not in iTunes, you'll want to follow this one:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If your iPod touch isn't recognized in iTunes and also in My Computer, you'll want to check this one out:
