My new IPOD is not being picked up by my computer.  What should I do?

@vic_suav, thanks for the additional information. Could you please try to see if this does the trick?
Quit iTunes on your PC, switch your iPhone on and make sure it's not locked, before connecting it to your computer. Then wait a minute or two until the "Download Photos" dialogue box pops up. When that happens, launch iTunes and wait a minute or two until iPhone shows up as a connected device.
If the above doesn't work, follow the steps in 'How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows' to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Otherwise, please try a different USB port on your PC. Then in your Windows 7, click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program". Then verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs. If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. For removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Windows 7, follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
if all of the above fail, you can try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined in 'iOS Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows' article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

  • Help.. brand new Ipod 80gb not being recognised by Computer or itunes

    Replaced a ipod mini that was stolen from my house with a brand new 80gb ipod. Plugged it into the same computer that had been used successfully with the mini and the ipod will not be seen by either the computer or itunes. It will charge through the usb post no problem but when you plug it in it originally came up with the windows new hardware wizard, as apple have for some misguided reason stopped supplying CD's, the wizard can not find the correct driver, and fails to install. When Itunes is running nothing appears. I have been through the 5 R's, or should I say 4 r's as the fifth rely's on itunes recognizing the ipod before you can restore, countless time, so please unless you are sure don't ask me to click the hold button on and off yet again.
    Plugged the ipod into an old laptop with USB 1.0 ports and the ipod was recognized which would suggest it is my main comp's usb ports that are at fault, but as two previous ipod mini's worked without fault I find this hard to believe. I think if only I had the correct driver to install I could solve this problem easily. Can anyone send me the correct driver for an 80gb ipod.
    It hopefully goes without saying that I have downloaded the latest itunes software and gone through all the post's on the this site. I thought I'd cracked it with the UBSSORT file post but it was not to be....to tell you the truth if it's this complicated I'd rather send it back and buy a sony mp3 or even an ipod nano. At my wits end so please help Obi one, your my only hope

    Big Big thank you to Varun at Apple Service & Support e-mailed me the following article and after following the instructions, I'm up and running. Thank you ......

  • New Ipod Touch not being recognised by itunes

    Hi, can someone please help!
    I purchased a new iPod touch (the one with the camera )the other day and yet so far iTunes nor my computer has recognized it.
    I have tried many things:
    Updating itunes
    Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes
    Unblocking itunes related software in my firewall
    Trying different USB ports
    Turning ipod off and on in different ways
    Restarting computer
    Using different usb cords
    Nothing has worked so far! My computer meets the requirements i think. Its a windows professional with a service pack 3 and it has usb 2.0 ports. I have a working itunes account and store and i have itunes version 10.1. My ipod has full charge also
    My computer makes the noise when something is plugged in, yet my ipod is not appearing under devices on itunes. My old nano is being picked up fine yet my new ipod touch isnt!
    I dont know whether i should return to the store i purchased it at or if it is a computer malfunction thats the probelm.
    Please please help! I've reached a dead end!

    Try it on another computer.

  • New Ipod Nano not being recognized by Computer

    It seems I am not the only one having this annoying issue. My new Ipod Nano (3rd Generation) will not show up at all in Itunes. I never get the setup assistant to show up either. I have tried different USB ports, shutting down and restarting the computer, reloading itunes, etc. What's next? I am new to the whole ipod thing so if I need to do something I don't know about, please let me know.

    Hi
    You're right, you're not the only person having this problem. If you don't mind though, could you just stick to bumping the other thread? I'll get you the link, one second.

    My ipod touch is not downloading apps, updates or anything. It seems to require a restrictions password for some unknown reason. Can anyone help?

    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • None of my Ipod's are being picked up by my computer

    My son received a new I-pod touch and when I went to sync it up, my computer is no longer picking up any of our I-pod products.  I have checked the Apple Mobile Device Support and gone through the process of restarting it.  My daughter's I touch shows up as a camera but nothing else is working.  Any ideas?

    Been through all of that already.  Whenever I plug in one of the the I-touch's, I get this from my computer:
    "Found New Hardware Wizard" and it takes me through the process of adding software to dowload photos.  Still no I-touch's show up though.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • What's the error?  Longtime site not being picked up by Google

    This site has been up for a year and is not being picked up by Google. What is the problem?
    Any suggestions much appreciated.
    www.elspethcameron.com

    +(sorry for my english, it usually is better than that I think/hope)+
    Ok... Let's see...
    www.elspethcameron.ca is just a forwarding url with cloaking (masking, masking the real url) enabled so it's not dynamic it doesn't change when visiting different pages. It is listed in google
    http://www.google.ch/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww.elspethcameron.ca&btnG=Search&met a=
    but there is no content under this url because it is just forwarding visitors to the real website, just like a link would do that.
    The real website is, at least partially, on google with its content as you can see here
    http://www.google.ch/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aweb.mac.com%2Felspethcameron%2F&btnG= Search&meta=
    The other parts of the website are not indexed by google. I think that is because google is not able to crawl the nav bar because it is javascript rendering. You could make a second nav bar by your own and put it on the bottom of the page. Simply add a text field and put normal links in it to the other websites. Google will then follow them next time indexing your page.
    In addition to that you should watch the thread I posted before. Note that by making your sitemap you don't use www.elspethcameron.ca but the real url.

  • TS1363 ipod is not being detected

    my ipod is not being reconized when connected to my computer and i cannot download my music on to it!

    I did it!
    XP wanted drivers for the iPod, and I used the method in this doc with one exception:
    iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    ...when the wizard came up and asked to look for the driver, I clicked "Search for the best driver in these locations" except instead of windows/inf I went to system32/drivers and found a subfolder with USBAAPL.SYS [the driver name] in the title... it was a hidden folder so you'll have to have them visible to see it. Using that as the target for the search picked it up immediately and then everything was as before.
