Updated iTouch no longer recognized on my iTunes 9

I updated my iPod Touch (2G) on my work computer and now it's not recognized by my home computer, which is is an old Powerbook, where I can't install/upgrade to iTunes 10.
Is there any way I can downgrade the iPod Touch back to a compatible version? Without losing the data on it (particularly the calendar)?

So is it completely hopeless? I have to reset my iPod Touch and lose all my data?

ITouch no longer recognized after installing iTunes 8 and Leopard

I recently installed the new version of iTunes, which prompted me to download the new version of Quicktime, which then prompted me to install Leopard, which I did. Now I have the new version of iTunes, but my iTouch is no longer coming up as a recognized device. My connecting cable still works because my iTouch is charging when I connect it to my Powerbook, but the device is not recognized by my computer, and I've run out of options. I have tried restarting my iTouch, and also using a different connecting cable-- nothing works. Any advice?
Thanks a million.

Hello,
Just wanted to make sure you've also restarted the computer, in addition to restarting the iPod touch. For the time being, try to connect the iPod with the USB cable that came with it, and make sure it's being connected directly to the computer, and not through any external USB hubs or anything of the sort. Also, if you haven't tried this, try connecting the iPod to a different USB port.
Since installing Leopard, double check your Software Updates to make sure there's nothing else pending that you might need. (Just click on Software Update in your Apple menu).
If that hasn't worked it out, you might try reinstalling Apple Mobile Device Support, which is what allows the iPod touch to communicate with your computer and iTunes.
First, drag iTunes from your Applications folder to the Trash.
Then, delete these files:
(1) AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg located in: Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/
(2) AppleMobileDevice.kext located in: Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions/
Restart your computer
Download and install iTunes again

Apple ID blocked on iPhone app updates, Mastercard no longer recognized

All the sudden my Mastercard (canada) is no longer recognized. I checked with my bank and everything seems to be fine from their side.
Every time I type the security code, it gives me the message that " this card cannot be used with the itunes store".
After several attempts, I gave up and modified my account to payment "None" option.
They don't want my money: ...fine
Now what is more annoying is that I can't update my apps anymore on my iPhone. I get the message "Apple ID blocked". However, I am able to visualize my ID on the iPhone. I modified my password. Nothing helped. I tried another ID I have from having lived for many years in Europe. All the time my Canadian ID pops up on the App update function with the message "Apple ID blocked".
Can anybody help with that? If this continues, I am seriously thinking about legal action as I paid for these apps and now I can't access up-to-date functions for a software which I own. Any ideas if there are some consumer defense organizations out there to help with that.
I am seriously fed up with all the time lost with this problems (3 days spending my time working on this problem now!!!!)

So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner. When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first. The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app. HELP?

De-install Leopard Because Cameras/Scanners/Itouch No Longer Recognized

Leopard no longer recognizes my Canon SD600 or Epson 3170 in Image Capture. The whole OS has a MS instability feel. Itouch is no longer recognized. What's up??
Anyway Is there an easy way I can back out of the Leopard upgrade without blowing away all of my date files?

Hi Chris Metz;
If you restore the backup you took before the upgrade to Leopard, that is the easiest way to get back to Tiger.
I have to say that none of my systems or those that I help to support are suffering from any problems with Leopard.

Error during OS 4.2 update; Ipod no longer recognized by windows or itunes;

I've had my 3G 8gb since last Feb and never updated the OS (3.1.3). Yesterday I tried updating to 4.2. (OS: Windows Vista 64bit Home Premium; iTunes: 10.1.1.4) There was an error (unfortunately did not make a note of). Now my ipod touch is stuck in "Recovery Mode" and cannot be seen by Windows or iTunes. Windows does detect new hardware but when I browse for the drivers, I get the error "Could not find driver software" after I pointed exactly where it was located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. I've tried removing all Apple software from my computer and then reinstalling iTunes but I get the same results. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas? Thanks!

I found a solution last night through http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538. But thank you for trying. The worst part was that I was doing the right thing all along but I think there is a bug in Vista (or I don't understand why I couldn't do it the way I was). On the window that appears after I clicked "Browse my computer for driver software", there are 2 options. The first says "Browse for driver software on your computer" which has an edit box under it and a "Browse" button next to the edit box which allows you to pick the parent directory that driver is in. The second option says "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". I knew where the drivers were so I was doing option one and it would not work (many repeated attempts after re-installing iTunes, etc.) - VERY FRUSTRATING. But now I'm up and running!!!

ITouch no longer syncs after install iTunes 11.1.3.8/ iStore Authorization problem

I installed iTunes 11.1.3.8 last Monday on my daughter's computer.
While I was at work on Tuesday, my daughter connected her iTouch to the computer. My wife reported that all her music was missing and she was trying to put everything back. Subsequently, all the songs got deleted from my daughter's iPod Touch and now it appears unable to sync with the computer.
The songs are on the computer, but nothing on the iTouch.
When we try to sync, we get the following message on the computer's iTunes: "<daughter's> iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize this computer."
We have tried reauthorizing, authorizing, de-authorizing, reauthorizing... all sorts of authorizing. No success.
Any help would be appreciated. No iPod => my daughter is unhappy (understatement).

Try:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
next try

IPhone no longer recognized after installing iTunes 9.2

Hi there. I have an original iPhone, a Powerbook G4 running OS 10.4.11, and everything was working perfectly until I updated iTunes to 9.2. Now when I connect by iPhone to the computer literally nothing happens. The phone does not show up. It does not open iPhoto or iTunes. I have restarted my computer several times, reset the phone several times, and still nothing. I am planning to buy the new iPhone as soon as it is available, but in the meanwhile I am really concerned about not being able to sync to iTunes. I would appreciate any advice! Thanks.

I'm running OSX 10.6.4 on MacBook Pro (a couple of years old) ... and my (original) iPhone is recognized just fine by the new iTunes 9. I too am anxiously awaiting arrival of my iPhone 4 ... and got the same kind of shipment information as other folks described on the iPad; i.e. being shipped direct from China via Hong Kong. I sure hope they've got the bugs worked out of that process since the iPad 3G fiasco. I was also amused (NOT!) by "additional information" in the shipping-email I got from Apple. Basically it says that if there is a delay in activating the phone via iTunes, "trust us" that Apple and AT&T will be working to get it activated as quickly as possible and will send out an email when it is activated --- in other words "don't call us, we'll call you".
David Brooks during his commentary last night on The News Hour made some comments about how business processes are really starting to break down in this country. I couldn't agree more. Last Thursday's mess was inexcusable! You'd think that the huge (and incredibly profitable) corporations like (BP), Apple, and AT&T would spend as much time and effort and money to get their processes in as good a shape as their products! Urrrrrr! Let's hope that the iPhone enrollment process goes better.

New iTunes update, iPod no longer shows up in iTunes

Got a update request from iTunes today and accepted the upgrade for iTunes and QuickTime. I ignored the warning from Microsoft that this was not approved for XP (stupid, but I doubted that Apple would trash my connection). After the install, I no longer have my iPod show up in my iTunes. I have done a System Restore, deleted iTunes and reinstalled, deleted iTunes and manually removed all left over folders and then reinstalled; followed all of the troubleshooting items at http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/ and lots of other things over the past 6 hours. I am really tired now. Does anyone have any help. Note that the iPod charges through the ISB port, the wi-fi worksm the apps and music and library items show up in iTunes. The only thing that is missing is the iPod showing up in iTunes so that I cannot sync. Also when I open iTunes I get this message:
Warning!
iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs,
you need to reinstall iTunes.
I need to sync. Help.

Good news now. After two more uninstall/reinstalls I now get my iPod showing up in iTunes. I still get the:
Warning!
iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs,
you need to reinstall iTunes.
box every time I open iTunes, but this is an annoyance, not a disaster. Still any help in stopping this pop-up would be appreciated. Also I have sucessfully imported a CD to iTunes, so I am not sure what the warning is about. (I do not have a downloaded song to try to burn to a CD however).

Some Songs No Longer Recognized in My iTunes Library

I am running Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes. For the third time in about a year, iTunes has just "dropped" a number of my songs; 45 this time. I have no idea which ones. I realize that the actual songs are in another folder, but how can I 1) find out which songs have stopped being recognized and/or restablish the iTunes library to a point when all songs were recognized? My songs were both purchased from the Apple Store and imported from my CD collection. This is very frustrating and ANY help would be very much appreciated. And, PLEASE keep it simple as I am NOT a technical person. Many thanks!!

I am experiencing the same problem

My nano model synced on older itunes no longer recognized on my itunes, my nano model synced on older itunes no longer recognized on my itunes

my nano is not recognized anymore to sync last two itunes purchased after contacting apple and going to apple store.Heip

With the latest iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
In the sidebar, the iPod should appear under DEVICES. Does it appear there?
If it does, the iPod is recognized. Select it there. The is a row of buttons near the top of the window, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to your iPod, if you are using automatic syncing to load the iPod. Make sure your two new purchases are included in your selection on the Music screen. If you are using the manual method to load the iPod, do not set up the Music screen; just drag the new songs to the iPod in iTunes.
If the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, please post back.

TS1496 How does this work for a Mac Pro? Just did an update and my iPod video click is no longer recognized by iTunes or in finder but shows do not disconnect. What do I do?

I downloaded the latest update of iTunes 11.4 today - Columbus Day. Went on to purchase songs. Then attached classic iPod to sync. upon attached usb to iPod, the "Do Not Disconnect" message appeared. Waited a long time and iTunes would not recognize my iPod. (10 minutes minimum. Gave up counting) Shut down iTunes and restarted. Still no recognition. Restarted computer - Wouldn't start. Unplugged USB and then it started. The only way to get computer to start up again was to unplug - now I'm worried that I've just screwed up my iPod. Upon starting back up - plugged iPod back in - sell no recognition. Am I up a creek with no paddle now? My iPod- touch is recognized and I was able to update it successfully. With that being said, it took a heck of a lot longer than it normally does post update. Was this the update that no longer likes classic iPods?
I have a brain injury and the classic is helpful at night when I can't fall asleep and I can play soothing stuff to help calm my brain down. The touch is way to bright and can cause lots of bad reactions due to light sensitivity - way too much blue light to trigger issues. The click wheel doesn't take so many moves to get to what I need.
Thank you to anyone that can help save my classic. medical bills are high and I can't afford to buy a new one. Two hours later, my classic still says do not disconnect and my computer does not recognize.
Thank you to any one for the ability to provide insight and troubleshooting.
pooped out.

1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
See if those two steps clear up your problem.

Since updating an iphone5 to ios8.3, it is no longer recognized by my pc. An Apple tech suggested that I install itunes as the only way to assure that I have the latest driver. Any way to do this without installing itunes?

Yeah... I hope apple solves this problem soon. =\
I use Windows XP instead of Vista...
This happened to me:
I plugged my iPod
Oppened the iTunes, iTunes recognized the iPod with all the songs, album covers, playlists, etc.
It asked for update. (Download & Instal, ok)
Finished the update, oppened the iTunes 9.0. Added a new songs but then I realized it didn't recognize the iPod (wich was plugged.)
I checked on "My computer" and I saw "iPod". Ok.
When I ejected the iPod it was clean. No musics, no Videos, no playlists. Started on the screen "Select your language".
I Tried reinstaling the iTunes but whenever I got an older version it said something like "The iTunes can't be started because the iTunes library has been generated by a new version."
Restarted my PC several times.
Rebooted the iPod.
Tried switching USBs.
NOTHING works.
Nothing at all.
even tryed the manage thing on "My Computer".
If they don't find a way of fixing this bug my iPod Nano is not better than a f**kin' Pendrive... ~.~"
Hope apple do something...
