Updating to iOS 5.1.1 computer or iTunes will not recognize the device

Ok I have tried everything possible short of going to the apple store. My computer will not recognize my Ipod and it will not show in iTunes. The computer makes a noise when I plug the device in but nothing happens. The iPod is stuck on the dfu screen and will not sync at all.. Please help me out here... The iPod has never been jailbroken and I really don't feel like paying apple to fix something that the screwed up.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Things I have tried.
1.) USB Isolation (I have plugged the iPod into every port on my computer)
2.) Using Programs to kick it out of DFU.
3.) Reinstalling all Apple related software
4.) Stopping and restarting the mobile device driver
5.) Screaming at the top of my lungs!!!

ok well I figured it out heres the link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538http://
I had to install the driver from the mobile device support folder to the parent usb composite device in device manager.

  • Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps.

    Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?

    So yu tried all of this:
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Phone stuck in recovery mode complete black screen will not turn on after recovery and update there was an error and now computer and itunes will not recognize the phone....Anyone know what I can do to get the phone recognized again when it cant be turned

    Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?

    Hello agardner37701,
    I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode.  I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:

    Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck.  However...

  • My Computer and Itunes will not recognize my ipod

    I recently had to reinstall itunes on my computer. Now, my computer and itunes won't recognize my ipod. But I can change it from my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I would really like to update my ipod!
    Thanks.
    nb

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

    Try restarting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 46 of the iPhone User Guide.

    Hello Rcomer123
    Check out the articles below as they will assist and guide you to get your iPhone back up and running. The first one is a general for restoring your iPhone and putting it into recovery-mode when it stuck and can’t get to your normal home screen. The last two articles are for more for if you still cannot get it to show up on your computer, just pick the one that goes with what type of computer that you use regularly.

  • HT2250 I have Bonjour files on my computer, but iTunes will not recognize it, how do I fix this?

    I have Bonjour files on my computer, but when I open iTunes it says that I don't. Somehow the services are turned off, but I can't just turn on a file. How do I turn it back on?

    Hello th3maj0r,
    I was thinking that it might be a good idea to remove iTunes and all of its components including Bonjour and re installing them.

  • Cannot upgrade 3gs to ios5? Itunes does not recognize the update, any suggestions?

    Using Windows 7 and itunes will not recognize the ios5 update? States that the version 4.2.1 it the most current software update? Any suggestions? 

    Do you have the compass app on your phone? If you press and hold the home button do you get voice control? I'm betting the answer to both of these questions is no.
    You have an iPhone 3G. NOT a 3Gs. You can not install iOS 5.

    With iOS 7, the "call Decline" button is only available when the phone is awake. To decline a call when the phone is asleep, simply tap the On/Off button.
