Upgrading to Windows vista means itunes wont detect my ipod?? Help please.

Recently upgraded to windows Vista. Big whopdeedo.
But anyway, when I plug my ipod in, windows tries to update drivers for it, but of course failas horribly.
However, this is having a knock on effect that means itunes wont detect my ipod. So, while my ipod recharges, I cannot sync it. Thus I can't add new songs and what-not.
Please help.

Yes my ipod is jailbroken, but this has never proved an issue before.
Its not just itunes that now wont recognise my ipod, my other software wont either, and they used to work with the jailbroken ipod.
This all started after i synced a nano, then connected my ipod and a screen came up saying ipod camera connected.
I click on the camera icon in mycomputer and properties tab then selected take no action in the events tab.
This hasnt resolved my issue, and the ipod still comes up as a camera in mycomputer, the only difference being im now not prompted to choose a program to view my photos with.
This is really getting up my nose, as for the second poster, sorry that article was no help at all.
Please someone help me

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Windows 7 or itunes not detecting my ipod.

    My ipod (5th gen) was fine working on windows vista 32bit, but i recently bought a brand new computer, operating system windows 7 premium 64bit. Tried most things, resetting ipod or using disk mode has no effect either.
    Plugging my ipod in never got detected, not even as a storage device. So after installing the latest itunes software (itunes for windows 64bit) it still would not be detected by both windows in my computer and itunes.
    in device manager though under disk drives it shows "apple ipod usb device".
    under storage volumes it shows "unknown device"
    and under USB controllers it shows "Apple mobile device USB driver"
    I searched the internet before coming here, all i could find was uninstall every single bit of apple software, unplug the ipod then reinstall itunes etc, i tried all this but had bo success.
    Obviously the ipod is fine as it works in my old pc and charges in this new one.
    Thanks to all who can offer advice.

    I've paid for support from Apple for same issue. No solution yet. It's about a month.

  • ITunes wont detect iPhone - Urgent help!!!!!

    Ok heres the deal. Usualy i use iTunes regulary without any problems. But 2 days ago all of a sudden my iTunes wasn able to detect the Iphone, i tried everything, differrent USB plugin, reinstalling iTunes, reinstalling Bonjour but nothing changed. Now there was one interestting thing, when i tried to open the iTunes that day first what appeard on my screen was: "Bonjour service unavalaible". Could that be the problem? If not or yes, i need help urgently! Pls help! thanks
    oh btw i forgott to mention that my comp recognizes it as a cam like it usually does and starts charging it, but only iTunes is making trouble
    I also tried at my neighbours computer and his iTunes recognizes it perfectly, i tried everything, i have up-to-date drivers, matchable iTunes specially for my Win 7, uninstalled every Apple related software and installed iTunes again several times, tried everything i found on google, still no change. Help plssss!!!!!

    I had this problem... you just update the iPhone device driver.
    Go to Device Manager (Start> type "Device Manager" in search field), under Portable Devices (might also be under imaging devices), look for Apple iPhone and right click it. Click to browse online to update the driver software.
    Also make sure Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service are running (Administrative Utilities>Services). If they are, might restart them anyway.

  • Windows says it does not recognize my ipod HELP please

    Had ipod for 3 days. Worked fine. Last time I docked it, gave me an error message saying it was not recognized becuase it was malfuctioning. Reset, restored, re booted, reinstalled itunes, deleted apple auto update, changed ports, you name it. So I took it back to the store and plugged it into a PC and a mac, using my cable, and it works fine. My other usb devices working fine. I tried a windows restore to when it was working, and for some reason I get another message saying that it cannot be restored (never had that happen before......). Any new ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Right click and choose disable on them one at a time and see what happens. My ipod was instantly recognized. when i went back and enabled what i had disabled, it was no longer recognized. I have no idea why it worked for me but it did. Try it at your own risk. Good luck!

  • Music on iTunes, but not on iPod; Help Please!

    Here is my situation.
    I recently purchased an iTunes gift card and purchased and downloaded an album this weekend without a problem. The problem arose when I transfered the album onto my iPod.
    I can listen to the album on my computer through iTunes with no problem. I can listen to it on my iPod through my computer no problem. When I try to listen to the album on my iPod by itself, it does not play the album.
    The album information is shown on the iPod window but my iPod scrolls through each songtrack after 1 second (without playing any of them). I have never had this problem after downloading any free content via iTunes (e.g., podcasts).
    I have already deauthorized/reauthorized my computer; as well as the 5Rs, and neither option resoved the problem.
    Does anyone have any experience/advice in dealing with this issue?

  • TS1363 I have a new iPhone 4S, I`m using windows vista but iTunes is unable to detect it at all...

    I have a new iPhone 4S, I`m using windows vista, although my computer detects an "apple iphone", iTunes is unable to detect it at all. I`m unable to sync any media..

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Once you have enabled find my phone in your iCloud settings on your phone and find my mac in iCloud settings on your Mac, you can log in at iCloud.com and see both devices on the Find my Phone feature there.

  • Ugragrded to vista, and itunes wont work

    i upgraded to windows vista, and now my itunes wont open because it says the file, libary.itl is locked, on a locked disc or i dont heve write permission. HELP

    What format is the exHD, HFS+?
    Vista prefers NTFS or FAT. So you'd probably need some software that lets Vista read HFS+. Or consolidate it onto a different exHD that is FAT-formatted.

    The article says that I should upgrade to the latest iTunes. I am on the latest iTunes version.
    If you could read just a tiny little bit further, under the "Additional Information" section immediately after that, it says:
    If you are still experiencing this issue when syncing, or have not installed Xcode 4 and get this alert:
    Follow the troubleshooting steps in Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: Resetting the SyncServices folder.
    If the issue is still unresolved, follow steps in Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing.
    Have you tried those measures?

  • Upgrading from windows vista to windows 7

    I am upgrading from windows vista to windows 7. The upgrade I am using is going to delete all of the information I currently have on my hard drive.
    I have itunes set up with all of the correct artist/album/track/cover image information for my files. I also have consolidated all of these tracks to an external hard drive - no mp3s in itunes are stored on my local hard drive. I consolidated these tracks after I edited all of the artist/album/track/cover image information.
    My questions is this. Once I reinstall itunes on windows 7, when I import these tracks from the external hard drive - are the edits to the files (artist/album/track/cover image information) going to be shown in itunes like they were prior to the windows upgrade? I have a large number of tracks that I have invested a huge amount of time into and I really don't have the time or patience to duplicate the effort.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

  • Upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate

    Hi all
    I am trying to upgrade my windows Vista from home premium to ultimate and I have the original CD for the ultimate but when I put the CD and upgrade it wont upgrade and it gives me this message:
    " - The upgrade cannot be started. To upgrade, cancel the installation and the choose to upgrade to a version of windows that is more recent than the version you are currently running."
    And my computer is up to date so I dont understand is there something messing or I have to install a clean version of windows Vista?!
    And if I have to install a clean version is the any way to install the windows without deleting my documents ?!
    Hope someone will help me :D
    Thx

    To be honest I don't know how it works exactly and maybe you should ask this on some Microsoft forum or make call by Microsoft in your country. I think they are the right address for such issues.
    Of course you can make clean Vista installation. All your data can be saved if you have two partitions and all important data will be saved on second partition. When Vista installation starts for Vista destination choose first partition. This partition will be deleted but all your data on second partition will be untasted.
    If you have more questions let us know.

  • Songs stop playing after upgrading to Windows Vista

    I upgraded to Windows Vista Business the released version.
    After the upgrade I started iTunes 7.02 and tried to play a song. It required me to reauthorize my song. Unfortunately, I had 5 computers already authorized so I just went to the iTune Store to deauthorized all my computers and reauthorizes the upgraded Vista computer.
    After reauthorization, I still cannot play my songs. ITunes pops up with the message that my songs needs authorization. I authorize the song and it says it is okay but will not play the song.
    I can still buy stuff from the iTunes Store but cannot play them or sync them with my ipod.
    Has the Apple testers ran into this problem?
    This is a problem for Apple since Windows Media Player works for Zune. It's sad what Microsoft has done.
        Windows Vista

    I finally solved my problem and here is how I did it:
    - De-authorized my computer
    - Uninstall iTunes
    - Re-install iTunes
    Now make sure you have another user account with administrator privileges.
    - Logged out of my user account
    - Logged in using the built in Administrator account
    - Launched iTunes from this account
    - Launched Windows Explorer and double clicked on one of my purchased songs.
    - Enter your password when the popup window for the password is shown.
    My song started to play.
    - Exited iTunes and logged out of that account.
    - Logged back into my user account.
    - Launched iTunes, and I was ok.
