Recently, iTunes upgraded. My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync. The troubleshooting talks about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible) No other options and nothing about windows 8

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

Hi Daisymae3,
The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -
User Manual iPod shuffle
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide .pdf
Specifically Chapter 3 - Setting up the iPod shuffle.
iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
on iPod shuffle.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

An update.
From iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
"iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8"
but you still need to set it up on a Mac or iOS device, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later."

HT1459 ipod nano is not recognized by computer to sync using windows 7. If I uninstall then reinstall itunes does this fix problem and will I lose songs

my ipod nano is not being recognized by windows 7 when I now try to sync. Is the only way to fix this to uninstall and reinstall itunes and do I then have to redownload all my music?

Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

I cannot sync things from my itune's library to my ipod touch.It's says that I cannot sync because it hasn't started yet on my ipod, which is nonsense!Please help me!!!!

I am running Windows XP and Earthlink dialup and I cannot access the Yahoo home page, although I can get to my mail account. Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox did not help

Also, I forgot my Firefox password, and although the program claimed to have sent email to my email address, it never showed up. [I later found it in the spam folder ] I have had to use another account to post here.

I tried cleaning out the cache, that did not work

TS1363 I have Windows 8 and an Ipod Nano 6th generation. It is not being recognized to the Itunes and I cannot download the music I just got onto the ipod. I have tried EVERYTHING in the troubleshooting. Can you help?

I need help. I have a Window's 8 computer and a 6th generation Ipod nano. I have reinstalled Itunes multiple times and have read all the troubleshooting ideas to do it, but my ipod is still not being recognized. This is not the first time I've plugged the Ipod in. I need help

This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

HT1351 I have an ipod nano synced to an old laptop. Recently upgraded to a new laptop and want to sync the ipod to the new laptop. How do I sync to the new computer?

I have an ipod nano synced to an old laptop. Recently upgraded to a new laptop and want to sync the ipod nano to the new laptop. How do I change the sync to the new laptop?

If you have access to your old laptop (and it's still working), ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC. If you can and want to do it that way, please post back.
Otherwise, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction, from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

TS1363 My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows. Is this repairable?

My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows. I have tried a variety of options, even resetting, but still no luck.

What does the iPod's screen say or do, when you connect it to USB port on the computer?
The article referenced is for "regular" iPods. An iPod touch is an iOS computer, so this article would be more appropriate for troubleshooting.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Be sure to rule out a faulty USB cable as the cause. Try another cable, or try the cable you have with another device that has a dock connector.
Also, you should do this test to rule out a problem with the USB port (such as lack of power or USB device conflict). Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power).
Then, start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer. If it still does not connect, connect something else to the same USB port to confirm it is working. Preferably, use something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.

HT1349 I have recently moved home from the UK to the Cayman Islands, my PC in the UK has been destroyed as it was 240v but my ipod will now not sync with itunes on my new laptop can anybody help as my ipod holds all my music files

Now with a little more space, I believe this to be a simple fix just not for me! I have recently moved from the UK to the Cayman Islands and there lies the problem, 'voltage' ....
My UK PC was 240v and has now been destroyed so when I secured a new laptop 110v and downloaded itunes I was told by 'itunes' as my ipod was linked to another PC it would not/could not sync to my ipod. As the ipod holds ALL my music files this is a major drag. Can anybody tell me how to unassociate my ipod with my old PC so I can sync with my new laptop.
Regards Rob

All computers sold in the past 10 years are univeral insofar as voltage is concerned, so it may have been destroyed but not because of voltage. The right thing to do is to restore the backup that you must have made of your old PC to your new laptop. Then you will not lose anything when you sync the phone.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.
