Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation. Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled. I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

ITunes and Windows will not recognize iPod Nano 3rd Generation

I've been on this ALL day. Neither Windows or iTunes will recognize iPod. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes.... I don't know how many times.
iPod is new. Was ok to sync music and photos last week.. but now nothing. Any ideas anybody... this is driving me nuts.
When plugging in iPod - it beeps and then right away says it is ok to disconnect and beeps again... and iPod goes on... and then charges up.
I was skeptical in buying an iPod for the kids... and now am disappointed. Please somebody... change my mind!!!!

I've been having a similar issue with my iPod. My iPod will not play songs. Basically, the song or podcast will appear on screen, but is stuck at 0:00 and will not play.
When I connected my iPod to my computer, it was not recognized by iTunes and it did not appear in My Computer. I checked the Windows Device Manager, and the device did appear there. Strangely enough, the device did appear in My Computer as a removable disk only after I closed out Device Manager. I'm wondering if I need to restore my iPod. How do I do so without iTunes?

The latest itunes for windows will not install

I have an old PC running windows and I want to transfer my itunes songs to my ipad. I can't do this until I update iTunes but trying to update does nothing, either from iTunes or from the web page. I've tried rebooting the PC, still doesn't work. How do I get iTunes to update? Or, how do I transfer to the iPad without updating? The version of iTunes I have is older than 10.5, not sure where to find version #. Thanks!

Hi b noir, thanks for offering to help. i documented the whole process:
Itunes transfer from pc to ipad.
1. Connect ipad to PC
2. Pc recognizes ipad as a camera, gives me list of programs to launch, not sure if this has any relevance, no itunes on list, instead its kodak easyshare, ms doc wizard, ms camera sharing, ms word,mp navagator ex, omnipage, photoshop - I ignore this screen
3. Launch itunes, get screen, "ipad requires v 10.5 or later' go to itunes.com. I click ok
4. I get screen, still in itunes, "a new version (10.7) is available." I click download.
5. That screen goes away but nothing happens. No download starts.
6. Checked itunes folder on my hard drive, no sign that anything new has downloaded
7. Launch safari, go to itunes.com, hit download button
8. Nothing seems to be happening.
9. I get "thank you for downloading itunes" screen.
10. Still nothing new in itunes folder.
11. Get AVG screen telling me to restart my pc to finish download process.
12. During shutdown, I get screen,"the instruction at 0x100066dd referenced memory at 0x100066dd. The instruction could not be read." Gave me options to terminate program or debug. I did not choose either. No idea if this is relevant.
13. PC rebooted anyway.
14. Launched itunes
15. Got same message as before - "ipad requires v 10.5 or later' go to itunes.com. I click ok
16. Even though ipad is plugged in all this time, the screen that thinks the ipad is a camera does not come up this time.
17. There is nothing to the left of the itunes interface that lists devices - this is where ipad would appear, right?
18. Ipad appears on My Computer control panel
19. My version of itunes is 10.3.1.55
20. In itunes, i go to Help - Run Diagnostics - run all but Cd/Dvdtest
21. Secure Link to Itunes store failed, everything before that is ok. I click Help. nothing happens. Store appears in itunes so I don't see why this would fail.
22. Since help doesn't work, I move on in test. Two more fail screens: itunes helper not running, no ipad found. help brings up appropriate pages for both. Both recommend removing and reinstalling itunes.
23. Device sync also fails.
If it would be quickest to delete and reinstall itunes, I am willing to do that. My music would not be deleted correct? What about playlists (not as important to me).
I also have all my music backed up to CD. It would be tedious to copy that all to ipad, but if there is a way to do it and no other option, I could do that.

Unable to Burn CDs in iTunes for Windows: (Will not fit, but it should.)

I am attempting to fix an issue with a friend's iTunes for Windows. Although previously this computer using this media was able to burn audio CDs through iTunes, recently, an error has appeared before any burn. When loading the proper amount of time to fit on a CD, iTunes claims:
"The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD"
"Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them?"
"This will require more than one CD to complete."
When running CD Diagnostics, I receive the following information:

Itunes 8.0 will not recognize ipod on new computer

Got a new computer and downloaded itunes 8.0 and itunes will not recognize my ipod classic. I was able to transfer old songs from old computer to the new one.

OK, that just changed where future music will be added.
You need to go back to the old PC and get the ITL file. Put it either on the new PC or the exHD. Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes and it should "see" all the music on your ex HD.

ITunes for Windows will not play the next song in the list

Hello,
I cannot get iTunes to play the next song in my list (general list, not a playlist). The random icon and/or repeat icon is not blue. Every time I press the next button (two arrows to the right), it picks another song from my list, instead of the one that is directly beneath the one that is playing.
I have iTunes version 11.0.1.12.
Has anyone have this happen before and how did you solve it? Thank you for all your replies.

Itunes will not recognize Ipod Touch

Ok, so I tried to install Itunes 8 when it first released the other day. I received the BSOD, I ended up reverting back to the last known working configuration for windows. So back to Itunes 7.7.1 or whatever. Plugged my Touch in, and it would not recognize at all. I checked in the hardware config and it seemed that the drivers were not installed for the Ipod. I found out about the HP printer fix, and unplugged my HP printer. I installed Itunes 8, works fine now.
BUT, I plugged my Ipod Touch in, and I get a new hardware wizard, installs the drivers, and asks what I want to do with it, pull pictures off? It's acting like an external drive. Itunes won't recognize it though, no beeps stating it was connected, just won't recognize it is there.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

The first five of those I actually tried. I should check the services menu, and I uninstalled Itunes, but did not restart afterwards. So when I reinstalled, everything was still there. I will try doing that tonight after work.

Windows will not recognize ipod nano anymore

At the beginning it was working fine, but after I left it for a week it stopped working. When I plugged it to the computer, the computer would not recognize it.
When I plugged in the ipod nano into Window XP, the following happens:
- Window XP lags and take a long time to display the message "new hardware found"
- my ipod displays the charging symbol
- then ipod shows the screen "Do not disconnect" and it stalls on this screen
- after awhile, Windows show a "safely remove hardware" icon on the bottom right of my screen, but it describes the recognized hardware as "Apple ipod USB Device at location 0"
Note that:
- my ipod is not charged at all after all this
- itunes would not recognize my ipod
- there's not hardware icon in "My Computer" and "Device Manager"
- my computer can recognize my friend's ipod
- I can neither restore or reset my ipod because it does not get passed the "Do not disconnect" screen
So if anybody could provide any help, i'll be very very grateful. =P Please save me.

Maybe for that one week that you left your iPod nano idle, your iPod software automatically updated and left you with some strange conflict.
Anyhow, your symptons sound similar to some described in this article:
http://screwdave.blogspot.com/2006/05/ipod-nano-updater-3-23-really-needs.html
Not sure if the solution presented in the article will work for you, but let us know if it solved it.

ITunes for Windows will not start

I recently did a complete system restore and as part of my restore, downloaded a up-to-date copy of iTunes and installed it. The problem arises when I try to start the application. I don't get a Windows error message as one might expect. Instead I get the Windows request box asking whether or not I wish to submit the problem to Microsoft. Regardless of which option I chose, the box eventually disappears but no iTunes!!
I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes as well as clearing all traces of iTunes from my registery/computer files then reinstalling but to no avail. How can I get a clean install of iTunes that will actually run??
Thanks -- Rockey
P.S. Once I get iTunes successfully installed and plug in my iPOD, will all the music on my iPOD be automatically erased?? In my recent restore I did loose all my computer-based music files.

You might try the method in this article on Trouble Installing iTunes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Start at: "Important: A majority of customers..."
This should allow you to completely remove the previous installation attemps.
For some reason installing the stand alone Quicktime seems to help in some cases.
iTunes can't work if Quicktime doen't run so it is important to be sure Quicktime is OK first.
Then there is this article on trouble shooting iTunes launch failures:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
The other thing is that if you done a complete Windows reinstall back to the factory settings, have you made sure you have the latest drivers and updates?
