I have windows 8 and itunes is not recognising my ipod - anyone assist?

Hi Moclam12,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod classic is formatted for Windows, and you want to sync it with your Mac, try to force the iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it using your Mac.

    Apple will not help you fix your jailbroken iPod. Have you tried to place he iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next try DFU mode.

  • My computer and itunes does not recognise my ipod nano

    I had to return a faulty ipod nano. The replacement isn't recognised in My Computer or in iTunes.
    I think this might be to do with the registration of the first nano still being recognised?
    I have reinstalled itunes and followed the 5R's in the manual, but the ipod is still not recognised eg. Will not sync.
    A dialogue box displays the following message:
    'an ipod has been detected,but it could not be identified properly...'
    Can anybody help?

    I am facing the same problem, buddy. My iPod nano is not recognized by my MacBook Pro nor by iTunes.
    I tried everything suggested in trouble shooting. Looks like, I will have to visit an apple store soon to get it replaced/exchanged.

  • I have Windows 8.1 and Itunes will not recognise either my Ipad, Ipone or Ipod

    I have Windows 8.1 and Itunes will not recognise my Ipad, Iphone or Ipod even though it did so in Windows 7

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

  • My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

    earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did.  In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds.  If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it.  I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change.  All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

    The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
    Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
    So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

  • My iphone charged but when it turns on does not continue charging also windows and itunes do not identify my iphone!!! please help

    My iphone charged but when it turns on does not continue charging also windows and itunes do not identify my iphone!!!
    please help

    Macafee security center is may be the culprit.
    Open Macafee then: select;
    Internet & Network > configure
    Firewall > Advanced
    Programm Permissions > scroll down to Itunes
    Highlight (click on)
    Then Grant full access to Itunes.
    APPLY then OK
    When you select store from Itunes you will need to register with Itunes.
    Try that or:
    Disable your firewall.

    Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

  • Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod

    Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod.
    Windows does but Itunes doesn't.
    The Windows dialogue box syas "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    I have gone through the 5 Rs and the troubleshooters and the problem persists.
    Any ideas?

    Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod. Windows does but Itunes doesn't. The Windows dialogue box syas "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    Have a look in your Device manager. (Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage" and click "Device Manager".)
    Is Device Manager (in the right hand pane of the Window) completely blank?
    If so, see the following Microsoft document for troubleshooting advice:
    Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
    (When you get your Device Manager displaying correctly again, iTunes should stop giving you the "iPod Service Module" crash.)
