  • Upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod. The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" but the device is not listed in iTunes so it will not sync.

    Hey, we are having exactly the same problem! My old ipod died a slow death so I bought a new nano 16gb 4th gen and I can't use it as itunes isn't recognising any ipod being plugged into it. I've been through the whole support database and every USB port is working on the laptop, so I know the computer is recognising its there its just itunes itself - even removed and downloaded it again but no change! If anybody has any ideas what is going on please let me know!!!!

    iCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
    Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past.

  • I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen).  Now itunes does not recognize it nor will it turn on.  I believe it just downloaded but did not update the software.   What do I do?

    I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen).  Now it does not show up in itunes nor does it turn on.  I believe it just downloaded the software and never updated it.  What do I do?

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

  • After installing Lion on my Mac mini I no longer get a sound whe I plug in a usb device, and sometimes iTunes does not recognize my iPad.  Is this normal (lack of usb recognition sound)?

    After installing Lion on my mini, I no longer get a "recognition sound" when I plug in a usb device.  Is this normal?

    I am not sure any Mac every had a sound for plugging/unplugging USB devices.
    You may be right. It's only on Windows that the sound is created and heard.
    I know that since Tiger on this MBP, when I plug in my external scanner, I never heard anything.
    And plugging in my Blu-Ray recorder also does not make any sounds.
    I cannot speak for anything but my Mac laptops, however. Desktop Macs might make a sound.

  • HT201263 My iPod Touch shows the Apple logo but does not respond to holding the home and lock buttons or being plugged in. iTunes does not recognize it either

    I plugged my iPod into my computer to retore it and proceeded to do so as told. The only thing that happened after that was that the Apple logo keeps showing up and nothing else. My computer/iTunes no longer recognizes my iPod either.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My new Ipad mini has the same name as my old Ipad. Now Itunes will not recognize either Ipad. Do I need to reset both or just the new one? How do I get them to have different names?

    My new Ipad named itself the same as my old Ipad. Now neither will be recognized in Itunes. Should I reset new Ipad to factory settings and start over? How do I name it what I want?

    To rename them go to Settings>General>About>Name.
    Don't start all over again. There are solutions for devices that are not being seen in iTunes. Try those suggestions first.

  • Multiple Problems: iTunes does not recognize, no music, and odd click

    I went to update my iPod, and after I updated it, I went to go listen to it, and it said I had no music, no videos, no photos, nothing! But if I look at the summary of the iPod, it says there is still stuff on it, however it is now orange instead of blue, before it was blue, because of all the music.
    It is also making an odd clicking noise now.
    Also, iTunes does not recognize my iPod. I have attempted the 5 Rs, but I cannot restore, because my iTunes does not recognize my iPod, and I attempted the steps suggested if iTunes does not recognize the iPod, and still no luck.
    PUH PUH PUH PLEEEASE HELP!!

    i think im having the same problem, and its bull. i cant find any answers, just this 5 R stuff that definitely solves nothing. First i would plug in my ipod classic into my computer and a message would pop up saying that something has malfunctioned and i need to hook up my device to a 2.0 usb port, even though thats what it was plugged in to, so i reinstalled the drivers for the usb ports. that stoppped happening and now when i plug it in nothing happens, it turns on my ipod but itunes doesnt see it and neither does my computer! HELP!!!

  • My iphone 4s is stuck on recovery mode and itunes does not recognize it at all.

    Hi. Last night I left it updating 5.1.1 from 5.1 when I was going to bed. And at night I heard usb noise and woke up. iTunes had an error, I did not remember what is written there because I was sleepy. I think it was like 1612 error but I'm not sure.  There were an itunes logo and an usb wire on the phones screen. And I cant get rid of it. iTunes does not recognize the phone in "DFU mode" too. I need the phone today and I dont know what to do. Please help me. Sorry if my english is bad.
