Reinstalled all computer as viruse  now ipod not recognised

My computer went AWOL had to reinstall everything.
Including ITUNES, but all my music on IPOD as backing up Itunes on external hard drive was taking forever..
I thought I would be able to connect IPOD after and then change settins to manual and copy across.
But Itunes not recgonising Ipod - I seriously do not want to have to re Import all CDS
Any ideas anyone
Thanks

If you reinstalled everything, then make sure you go to Windows Update and install all updates there too. Just install every update it has. This may mean rebooting more than once. Just keep going back to Windows Update until it stops giving you new updates.

  • Ipod shuffle 2 nd gen itunes 9 ipod not recognised (windows 7 64 bit OS)

    Hi
    I see that others are having issue. My problem is that I have windows 7 ultimate installed (64 bit) along with itunes 9 (64 version) . When i plug in my ipod shuffle 2nd gen 1gb I get the following message " the software required for communicating with ipod and mobile phones is not installed properly. Do you want Itunes to repair this for you?'
    Say yes reboot - same error message .Connect ipod not recognised.
    Have reinstalled itunes 9
    Have also uninstalled itunes and reinstalled
    gone to portable devices under device manager to update drivers still issues
    Is anyone getting the same error message and is there a solution
    really frustrating !!!

    I'm having the same kind of problem and haved tried pretty much everything my self. We have two computers. One with Vista and the other with XP pro. We have three iPods.
    80g video, Touch first generation and touch second generation. Everything works fine with the first two, but windows cannot find the driver for the 2nd generation touch. Altough all drivers seem to be installed. The problem started with the Vista computer. I've uninstalled and re-installed everything and nothing works. Took everything on the XP computer, and the 2nd generation touch is still not recognized.
    Of course I-tunes is up to date and all drivers as well.

  • IPod not recognised by windows iTunes

    iPod not recognised by windows 8 computer.
    After I recently updated iTunes I plugged my iPod Touch 4th Gen into my windows 8 desktop.
    It was not recognised as an iPod by iTunes, only as a storage device in MS Windows.
    After much searching I identified the problem was there was no apple mobile device USB driver installed.
    I searched for … devmgmt.msc
    Which opened the Device Manager
    In Device Manager, under Portable devices, the Apple iPod should have been listed. It wasn’t.
    So I Right Clicked on ‘Apple iPod’ and left clicked on ‘Update Driver Software’.
    Then ‘Browse my computer for driver software’.
    Browsed to this location … Windows (C) / Program files / Common Files / Apple / Mobile Device Support / Drivers /
    And then clicked on ‘usbaapl64’
    It installed the Apple mobile device USB Driver, as it should have done already, when I recently updated iTunes.
    Could someone check the above to see if I have described the problem and the solution correctly.
    Thanks. Chris KV

    OK, update to try to provide a clearer description of the problem and solution that worked for me.
    Problem.
    After I recently updated iTunes I plugged my iPod Touch 4th Gen into my windows 8 desktop. It was not recognised as an iPod by iTunes, only as a storage device in MS Windows. After much searching I identified that there was no Apple Mobile Device USB driver installed. Without the driver Windows did not recognise the Apple iPod when connected via USB.
    Solution.
    I needed to use the Windows Device Manager, so I searched for … devmgmt.msc (You need to include the .msc) and clicked on it, which opened the Device Manager in a new window.
    In Device Manager, under Portable devices, the Apple iPod should have been listed. It wasn’t.
    So I Right Clicked on: ‘Apple iPod’ and left clicked on: ‘Update Driver Software’.
    Then clicked on: ‘Browse my computer for driver software’.
    Then clicked on browse and drilled down to the following location on my hard drive:
    C:\Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers /
    And then clicked on ‘usbaapl64’
    This installed the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
    Now Windows recognises my iPod again.
    PS. I can’t remember if I had to restart the computer once the device driver was installed. But if the above doesn’t work for you, then at the end, try restarting to see if that finishes the installation of the device driver. Good luck

  • I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

    I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly.  I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

    Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications.  You should install them.
    As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

  • Black 80gb Classic iPod not recognised by Windows My Computer or iTunes

    I live in Australia. I am on my third black 80g ipod classic in two days as Apple support hasnt resolved issue and they keep giving me a case number and having the retailer replace the 80g Classic. It is driving me balmy and I still havent resolved the issue where my vista laptop is not recognising the device. I have reistalled itunes, drivers, stopped and restarted device service manager and it still doesnt show up on windows or itunes, I have no other devices plugged in and when I plug my other silver 80g classic or my three shuffles in they all work, including at the same time. I take them all out and still the new Black 80g classic is not recognized. I have no idea now.
    All support staff and the staff at Myer have been excellent so far but still no result.

    I have been down again and checked that the ipod worked on another computer which it did. Came home again and still doesnt recognise this ipod.
    I have removed itunes
    reinstalled itunes
    changed drive names ( I have another classic and three shuffles that all work fine)
    stopped and started device manager for ipod and itunes
    cleared rubbish bin
    spoken with apple support three times
    rebooted the ipod
    tried in disc mode
    reinstalled drivers
    It still says in device manager that the new classic is not recognised. All my virus scans are up to date, windows updates are current on vista, drivers are up to date for ipod and all ports.
    Can anyone assist me?
    I am just about to take the ipod back and get a refund as they have replaced them twice and I am on my third.
    I feel like it is a conflicting driver issue that may only be resolved when ipod software is updated by apple or microsoft.
    I have reported issue to microsoft and there are no current solutions according to them.

  • Ipod not recognised in my computer or i tunes

    tried uninstall and reinstall i tunes twice no luck, read discussion about windows recognising i pod in my computer under usb device - not there- saw article about updating drivers telling me to go to run program from start and giving dode to input which opened device manager clikd plus sign to expand usbports - articl asked if red light next to my device right clik to do somthing or other mine was a yellow flash so i right clikd and one of the options was to find and update driver this worked job done im back in business.
    im glad i didnt take apples help advice and try the three arrses because they forget to tell you that this wipes your 120 gb of music a small detail and for me it was a years work moving it from record to ipod format and naming all the tracks which i didnt particularly want to do again. Phew what a relief! thanks for nothing apple! but im not bitter i love my ipod its not the wheel nuts its the nuts behind the wheel as they say. now i can get on an finish filling it up all ineed to do now is find out how to change the name of the ipod good luck keep trying everything except the support advice from apple- power to the people

    In my case the problem started with latest update (10.01.022). After the update I haven't been able to connect my Ipod 5G or my kids brand new Ipod Touch 4G.
    I have removed Itunes and all other Apples software, reinstalled Itunes+Quicktime. I have disabled and enabled USB Mass Storage in Device manager. Tried with two different cables, 5 different USB-ports... Everything, but nothing helps.
    I noticed also, that normal USB-memory stick doesn't work any more on my computer
    We are not alone with this problem. E.g. google search for:itunes does not recognize windows 64 gives 72300 hits for last week only!!!!
    It is obvious that the Itunes update has a bug, and I hope Apple comes with a fix asap.

  • Ipod not recognised by iTunes or My Computer

    Initially I successfully linked my ipod to iTunes and the iPod screen displays "Do not disconnect"
    This time I have connected my iPod and it doees not display the "Do not Disconnect" symbol.
    iTunes does not recognise the iPod. My Computer does not recognise the iPod.
    I have reinstalled iTunes. I have reset my iPod.
    The iPod also works on another computer without any problem.
    I tried the Network drive solution listed on this site but Disk Management does not list the iPod either.
    I do not know what to do now?

    I seem to be having the same issue as Neurovir. My computer and iTunes recognize my year-old 1st-Gen 512MB Shuffle, installing a Disk Drives >> "Apple iPod USB Device" driver AND a USB Controllers >> "USB Mass Storage Device" driver when I plug it into the USB port. But when I plug in my 5th-Gen U2 iPod with Video, it comes up in the Windows Device Manager as /!\ Other Devices >> "iPod" and runs the Found New Hardware Wizard. The wizard cannot find drivers for the iPod, nor will it let me chose the drivers to use, even though I know exactly which ones I want it to use. iTunes also does not recognized that an iPod was connected to the machine.
    I tried both my Shuffle and my iPod in another computer, and both were recognized by Windows and iTunes. I looked at the driver versions that that computer uses, and they are the same versions my computer uses when I plug in the Shuffle.
    I originally was trying to find Apple drivers for Windows XP on this site, but I see that I don't need them -- because they are on my machine, I simply cannot get XP to recognize the iPod as a device that needs the "Apple iPod USB Device" and "USB Mass Storage Device" drivers.

  • Ipod not recognised on computer, lost everything downloaded.

    My Ipod screen tells me it is connected, Eject before disconnecting. I could not do this as there was no device recognised on the itunes store window. I had downloaded lots of podcasts, and wanted to syncronise them. After reading all the support pages, I deleted Itunes off my compter and all apple related files. I then downloaded the lastest version, and now have nothing on my computer.
    I diagnosed that the computer was not recognising my device. I am not that computer literate, I suppose I am a silver surfer, and have no grandchildren to help. PLease advise what I can do to restore my Ipod and would like to be able to retreave all my podcasts that were downloaded onto the computer, and syncronise them onto my ipod.

    Actually, you're meant to play anything off of it, as well as add and remove songs to/from it, through iTunes.

  • Ipod not recognised by computer or i-tunes,

    My Ipod ran out of battery and now it won't reset or turn on. It's not recognised by my computer or i-tunes.
    I think its died can someone please help me try and bring it back to life.

    First, connect it to your computer or power adapter and let it charge for a long time, at least overnight. Then give it a try again.

  • IPOD not recognised by my PC - tells me it's synched to another computer!

    30gB ipod video when put into its cradle is not recognised by iTunes - it tells me that my iPOd is synched to another PC - however, it has NEVER been synched to another machine and only ever synched to my PC!!
    **I have around 25 gigs of music on it but now iTunes only gives me the option of synching it up to the PC I have used all along and erasing all the content. It also means I can't manage (or add) to the iPod...confused and frustrated - HELP!**

    Try resetting the iPod. This reboots the iPod. It does not erase the iPod.

  • IPod not recognised as a device with removable storage on computer

    Hi All,
    My computer is not recognising my iPod as a device with removable storage (it is not showing up in 'My Computer' when I open it), even though I have the Enable Disk Use on? Is it an issue with my computer or a setting on my ipod I have over looked. My computer system is Windows XP, and my iTunes is version 9.
    Please help !

    Oh and in addition, my iPod is a 160gb Classic

  • IPod not recognised on one computer but OK on another

    I manage a number of iPod nanos for my children on my PC (vista). In the last few days, one of them (pink nano)is not recognised by windows nor therefore in iTunes. I tried by 60GB iPod and had same problem. Plugged in my blue nano and works perfectly.
    Tried pink nano on my laptop (xp) and works perfectly.
    Using latest version of iTunes and PC fully updated.
    On PC, pink nano does not appear under USB controllers, but under Other Devices as Apple iPod USB device (with exclamation mark). The device status is: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    Can anybody shed any light on this please?

    If you have more then one USB port, try the other port.

  • HT1430 i have a red X in a circle which sometimes changes to the apple logo but no matter what instructions i try nothing else happens.  My computer nor i tunes does not recognise the ipod.

    I have a red X in a circle which sometimes changes to the apple logo but nothing else happens after i try every suggestion; Windows nor itunes does not recognise the ipod; what do you suggest?

    You could possibly try a restore from itunes or from the ipod itself, otherwise go get it looked at/replaced, that sounds like a software issue.
