SYNC\iPOD 3rd Gen to/through-windows-7

Ok-computer on ipod connected-go to control panel/security sys/firewall--OFF--now download itunes (win-7,64)verify now that you have the (apple mobile device driver)upon verification,turn your firewall back on,you now can create a short-cut/file location,the essential element here is the (apple mobile device driver)the process is allowing this driver on/in your computer..[email protected]..

Because it works with the other PCs, you've ruled out a problem on the shuffle itself and a problem with the USB cable.  So that leaves some issue on the PC with Windows 7.  I don't think 64-bit versus 32-bit is a consideration.
As a test, if you have not already, I would shut down and disconnect all other USB devices from the computer (except for standard keyboard and mouse if used).  Do this to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on computer.
If the shuffle is still not recognized by iTunes, also check other places, such as Device Manager, to see if it appears anywhere.

  • SYNCING IPOD (5th Gen Video) w/Windows XP on an Intel Core 2 Duo

    SYNCING IPOD
    I'm trying to sync my IPOD from the library in Itunes on my computer, but it will not sync and I see all the songs on my computer along with the different playlists such as: dance, instrumental and so on. The error that I get for the IPOD is: songs on the IPOD "Belinda's IPOD" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist. How can this be true, since I still see all the playlists on my computer? Why won't it sync? I am desperate and really need some help -- now I have no music to play at all on my IPOD for going to the gym with, or playing in my car, and have become very upset. Why is this so hard to do stuff between the Itunes and IPOD? If this IPOD ever goes on me, not sure if I will buy another IPOD -- almost to that point.
    Thanks,
    VERY FRUSTRATED, PLEASE HELP!!

    How can this be true, since I still see all the playlists on my computer?
    Okay but none of those playlists are selected to sync to your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Click on the Music tab.
    Select *Sync music* and *Selected playlists* in the drop down box then tick the playlists you want to sync to the iPod.
    Or just select *Sync all* in the drop down.

  • I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen).  However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

    I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013.  I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod.  When I try it crashes Outlook.  iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!).  I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it?  (HELP!)

  • Why is the syncing so slow when I sync my 3rd gen iPod touch?

    I am currently syncing my 3rd gen iPod touch to the newest version of iTunes. It is still "backing up the iPod" and it is still not done after 15 minutes. Is it because of my computer (windows 7 64-bit) or is it because I am syncing alot of things/items (apps, movies, music)? Or is it another problem?

    Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

  • IPod 3rd Gen Not Connecting to Windows AT ALL

    i have an iPod 3rd Gen 10gb. I use firewire to connect it to my iPod. When i connect it, it shows that it is charging but that is all. my computer won't recognize it at all. i tried a new cable, a new firewire card, i bought a USB cable, reinstalling iPod software and iTunes, the 4 R's obviously not restoring cuz it wont connect. i basically tried everything but no luck. any help would be appreciated.

    Do you use iTunes 7? If so please read the Topic I posted. Apperently I got the same problem with a new Nano. I discovered that when you attach the iPod DURING a Windows XP reboot it WILL WORK and see the iPod ...... until you disconnect again.

  • Ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount to iTunes

    My ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount on iTunes (using a Mac).  When plugged in, it appears on my desktop as if it were a jump drive.
    I was planning on re-formatting it with Disk Utility but I'm not sure if this is a good idea.  I also realised that the Format is listed as Windows NT File System (NTFS) when I have the disk utility window open.  If I need to format with Disk Utility, what format option should i choose? (i.e. Mac OS Exteneded (Journaled), Mac OS Extended etc.)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Now when I connect the Ipod to my Mac, it mounts as a Device on iTunes.  I want to sync only a few items from my library onto this iPod - when I attempt to do this (by either adding the specific music to the "music" section on the iPod or creating a playlist and using Autofill to fill the iPod), the iPod says that it has Synced but when I disconnect the iPod, there is no music on it.  Why?

  • IPod 3rd Gen 32gb cannot update to 5.1.1

    Greetings,
    I have been trying to update my ipod 3rd gen to 5.1.1 and cannot seem to update it at all.  Gives me device could not be found but it syncs absolutely fine.  To confirm that it is a 3rd gen I do have safari as the web browser.
    The computer I have is brand new and I copied all my music over from backup dvds that I had.  I run Win 7 home premium 64 bit, itunes is in fact the 64 bit version.  Nothing I have tried works whatsoever.  Please help.

    Try:
    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try a different cable
    - Try a different USB port
    - Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • IPOD 3rd Gen not recognized by itunes on firewire but it does on USB

    Hi,
    I have a 3rd gen Ipod (the one with the buttons) since its release date.
    It worked perfectly with FIREWIRE.
    Months ago i restore it and now it's a mess.
    I have to connect it via USB to sync it with my itunes library, to
    delete music, to add new one, or use it as a hard disk. But,
    the battery doesn't charge (actually the battery now only lasts for 1 hour)
    If i want to charge the battery i have to connect the ipod to the computer
    via FIREWIRE, but it doesn't get recognized by itunes, so i cant update
    it.
    I wanted to restore the ipod but if i connect it via USB, itunes send me a message
    that i have to connect it via firewire in order to restore it. But if I connect it
    via FIREWIRE i can't restore it because ITUNES doesn't recognize it.
    I hope someone can help me.
    thanks a lot

    If I were you, I will solve from the root i.e. replace the battery, you can do it with quite reasonable price here

    I have two iPod 3rd gen's but can not connect it to my Mac Mini due to the sync cable which connects to firewire.        I've tried looking for some type of adaptor that will allow me to connect the 3G sync cable to my mini but am having no luck. 
    If anyone has a suggestion or can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

    OK - just figured out that this is a 2nd generation ipod (20GB). It has a firewire port at the top with a cover over it. I just got off the phone with Apple Tech support and they suggested I try the forums, etc. They didn't know how to connect this ipod to a USB port. Anyone have any ideas?
