  • When i press the "home" button the screen says IPOD DISABLED connect to itunes. when I hook up to itunes it says it cannot recognize the ipod till it has the passcode entered, but the screen still says Ipod disabled   connect to  itunes

    my 4th gen ipod touch says ..... IPOD DISABLED   connect to ITunes.  I connect to Itunes ...Itunes says it cannot recognize or communicate with the Ipod till i enter the passcode.  Does anyone know what to do?

    Connect the device to the iTunes the iPod is normally synced with in recovery mode and restore it.  See this article for instructions on getting the iPod into recovery mode.

  • ITunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time....

    My Shuffle 2G lost power yesterday and when I connected it to my Mac mini to recharge, the light flashed a few times before getting the error prompt "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time." The prompt instructs the use of the reset utility, which I ran repeatedly to no avail. I've tried all the rebooting, restarting iTunes, switching USB ports, etc. with the same error message each time.
    The power indicator is no longer responding at all following the first time that I connected it yesterday. Is my Shuffle completely fried? I've only had it a year and it was hardly ever used during that duration. Help!

    The exact same thing just happened to my 2nd Gen shuffle. It stopped playing due to low battery charge, then when i tried to connect it ti iTunes, it said it 'could not recognize iPod at this time" and to use the reset utikity. I have now ran the reset utility a few times....but there is no change.
    I would really appreciate some help in solving this issue.......

  • ITunes will not recognize my iPod Classic

    Whenever I try to connect my iPod to my Dell PC with iTunes running, I get an iPod Service Module Error message. The message box asks if I want to send an error report. When I click OK nothing happens; my iPod does not get recognized by iTunes. However, my PC recognizes my iPod. I cannot find anything, anywhere about this iPod Service Module Error. Has anyone had this problem, and know of a fix? I am pulling my hair out here. I can't do anything with my iPod now.

    I tried reinstalling iTunes and keep getting the same iPod Service Module Error. I also tried running the iPod Software Updater and I get a message that I have an invalid iPod Service version.
    I recently tried u[dating Windows XP with the Service Pack 3 updates. I cannot get this to complete the install. I get a message stating that the updates failed and Windows XP may not work properly. I wonder if this is causing my headaches? my iPod seemed to work fine before I tried this SP3 update.

  • TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • Please Help - My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic

    My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic 80gb. I try doing the trouble shooting steps on apple, but they still did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to add some newer music to my old iPod for listening in the car or when travelling. Thanks a lot.

    Hello dmbnewfie,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPod classic is not being recognized in iTunes when you connect it to your computer. I know you have tried some troubleshooting on the Apple website as well, but without knowing which steps you have completed, I would suggest working through the attached iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant.

  • I have a 2nd gen  shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????

    i have a 2nd gen  shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????

    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar by default.  To show the sidebar, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    With the sidebar visible on the left side of the iTunes window, when you connect the shuffle, does it appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
    Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, are you using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle, with the mini-dock at the shuffle end?  A USB cable that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle will not work; the connector is different.

    Based on your post, it sounds as if your device is not recognized by iTunes for Windows. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:

  • Getting my iTunes on my G5 to recognize my iPod

    Help!!!!!!!!! I made the mistake of hooking up my iPod to a wintel machine when I first bought it. Now, when I hook the iPod up to my G5, it doesn't seem to know that it's there. So the question is, how do I get iTunes on my Mac to recognize my iPod and how do I make the G5 my iPod's main computer.

    A first thing that you have to try is restarting the iPod, (hold the menu and center button for a little while). If that doesn't work then you should just reonfigure your iPod to a Mac rather then PC.

  • Both itunes and my computer do not recognize my ipod classic, have had this before and reinstalled the device driver when asked to do so. However now it doesn't, how do i get this done?

    Neither Itunes nor my computer recognize my Ipod classic. Have had this once before and when asked to reinstall device driver, did that and problem solved. However now I do not get this message, so don't know how to reinstall.

    Try Turning off the Windows Firewall on your PC.

  • The new iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod classic.  Why?

    I had to re-install my OS which required installing the new iTunes.  Now iTunes won't recognize my iPod classic.  It took some time before iTunes would even allow me to log in to my account.  What's the deal??  I'm becoming increasingly irritated that I can't put my cloud music back onto my iPod...
