New shuffle - Itunes does not recognize
Apple recently replaced my shuffle, which was under warrenty when it stopped working. However, the itunes software won't recognize my new shuffle. What do I need to do?
I'm also trying out a replacement...THe orange light is blinking continuously and I'm not sure what's going on. The computer recognizes the ipod, but itunes doesn't refill. Any luck?

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

ITunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle
iTunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle (512MB). Windows 7 sees the iPod as an empty external drive although the iPod has music on it. The iPod plays the music fine. iTunes does recognize a similar first generation iPod Shuffle.
What can be wrong with the iPod Shuffle? How can I fix?
Thanks,I

This is first Ipod for me - I have had less than one day. Screen is frozen with itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh/restore or do anything with ipod. I turn off/on and get the same frozen screen. My computer does not recognize ipod. Itunes does not recognize ipod so I cannot restore.... Should I take this ipod back and get a new one? Is this normal?
Before you can use the iPod you have to activate it by connecting it to a computer with iTunes. Try the following to get your computer to see the iPod so you can activate the iPod.

My computer has Bitlocker encryption. When I plug in my iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes does not recognize it. When asked to encrpt the Shuffle I say no, but still not recognized. When I encrypt it, still not recognized (even after it was restored by iTunes). Any suggestions please?
Did you find a solution?

Have a PowerBook G4 with software 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2. Got a new iPhone 5 - and seems iTunes does not recognize it. What kind of software update(s) do I need?
None. An iPhone 5 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to be synced from a Mac, which is above the maximum for a PowerBook G4(10.5.8.)

The new version of iTunes does not recognize my Ipod-prior to this version, had no problem, Ipod showed up as list under the Imac library. Now getting synch must erase setting! Help
well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

Windows and iTunes does not recognize
yada, yada...
I tried the Rs, but my new computer and iTunes does not recognize my shuffle. Can someone give me basic steps to correct this? Shuffle was previously 'synched' with another iTunes library and I don't want to erase my currently uploaded music. Help please!I don't know if this is the same problem, but I cannot get my I-pod Nano to sync or have I-tunes recognize it. It is a connector problem, and this is my second Nano to do it within nine months. Apple wants $32 to send it in to be repaired once again. I am irritated beyond belief. I took my Nano in to an IMAC store and they confirmed that it was a connector problem. They could not send it off nor repair or replace it though. So I've had two Nano's since Christmas have this problem.
I would suggest that you try another device (shuffle) on your computer to ensure that it's not your computer (our other I-pods worked on the computer) and/or take it in to an IMAC store where they will see if it connects to one of their computers.
Right now I think Apple products are basically crap... -

If I want to sign in to this message board, I can do so. I can also sign in on my iPad to download updates, purchase new apps and songs, etc. And I can sync my iPad to iTunes on my iMac.
But when I open iTunes on my iMac, it asks for my password and I can't sign in. What is causing this problem with iTunes on my iMac repeatedly asking for my password when I open iTunes?
This is very frustrating. I am also worried that I won't be able to sync when my new iPad arrives March 16. Help!The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password in iTunes on my iMac that I know is correct. For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac. I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
What is messing people up is that when iTunes does not recognize the correct password, people are attempting other passwords. Those other passwords are all incorrect. The problem, as you stated, is that the password was entered correctly the first time but because of iTunes having issues it does not recognize it.
People, just keep entering the password you know is correct. It will eventually recognize it, or at least this works for me. If this still does not work, reset your password (but then you may still have to enter it repeatedly in iTunes).

Itunes does not recognize my iphone 4 device
I bought a new computer, tried to install itunes, after three different people tried to help me, i finally got itunes to install, but when I plug my iphone into my computer, itunes does not recognize the device. I am trying to 1. upgrade my iphone soft ware to 10.5.3, utilize icloud, and perform basic functions of syncing my phone with my computer. Any help, anyone could provide would be appreciated.
Tank you,
RoseIf your iTunes is the latest version, restart your computer and reboot your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

ITunes does not recognize my iPhone 4 or iPad 2
I bought an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 yesterday... have not been able to use any of them so far as itunes does not recognize either of them on my machine.. have tried several times to restart the machine, reinstall iTunes etc etc.. I have a Sony Viao with Windows Vistas Home Edition, and of course am running as an Administrator.
Anyone has faced this problem earlier - any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have this problem with my windows machine. Unfortunately, a new policy in the company requires that ITunes not be on your computer or you may be terminated. I've got one week to figure out why things are different so that I am good to go for the future.
First off, copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your work computer to an external drive.
Copy it to /Music/ on your personal computer.
Try using a USB port on the back of the computer.
If the devices are still not discovered, see this -> http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/troubleshooting/ -
i updated to ios 5.1.1 and added icloud services. the problem is now whenever i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes does not recognize my phone. i need it to but it just does not connect..
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:
