Hello mimward,
It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?
in another way : how can i save my date stored on my classic iPOD as a external hard .... when that msgs appears .... volume doesn't contain a recognized file system , make sure the file system is loaded .... then , you need to format ??? can anyone help ?It sounds like the iPod's storage has data corruption. You may be able to treat it like an external drive and use data recovery software on it, but it probably won't work because the system is telling you that the drive needs to be formatted before it is recognized.
If the problem is data corruption and there is no hardware-related problem on the iPod's hard drive, a Restore should fix the problem. But this will obviously erase the iPod's hard drive. -
When I connect either of my iPod Classics my computer freezes whether I have iTunes open or not. I have a second computer which functions normally when I connect my iPods. Any advice would be welcome.
Your problematic PC, has some software or most likely the Winsocks of some plugins is in conflict with iTunes, if both PC has the same version of iTunes and Windows.
If you run the Task manager, compare both PC and see what process is missing in the good one, and that software is the culprit.
Then removed it from your bad PC, if you dont need it, but most likely you'll need it, as it is the graphic card or some video software.
Have a nice day! -

When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device".
When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device", however my computer can see they are connected. so it seems to be a problem with itunes. i have tried re-installing itunes and it still doesnt work.
My Iphone does show as a device when connecteing wirelessly.
Its not a problem with the driver becasue the computer can see the devices, so its a problem in itunes.Hello mimward,

iPod won't Sync to computer, says 74gb out of 80gb are used -but there's nothing on ipod. How do I restore? Is anyone else familiar with this problem? It had over 25 movies, thousands of songs & hundreds of pictures, and it seems like they're still on there, because 74gb are used out of the 80 but when I turn the ipod on it appears to be at factory, fresh out of the box settings and my computer wont recognise it at all...
For the following suggestion, when you connect the iPod to the PC, and iTunes open up, please close it, before you fix the drive.
Your iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted, and maybe repaired by using command line, under DOS window.
chkdsk drive: /F
where drive: is the iPod ID D: or E:
You can also try clicking the IPod properties, and run error checking in GUI, tick "fix all error."
If you have access to a Mac, you can use DiskUtility, and run FirstAid to repair the iPod.
Good Luck!
BTW, this problem arise because, iPod did not complete, closing, the Sync process, due to timeout, for Windows systems, I think it is maybe caused by Antivirus, or some other plugins, trying to make windows 7 look like Mac OS X. -
Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?
On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
(I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.

my iPad is disabled after entering many wrong passcodes by my kid, and is asking me now to connect to iTunes to get enabled again (unlocked), however when I connect to iTunes, it asks me to first unlock the iPad? what is the solution
You need to place the device in recovery mode ...
f you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
Instructions for putting the device in recovery mode > iOS: Unable to update or restore
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present -
I have the CANON REBEL T5 1200D, and when i connect it to my mac which is 10.10 the new OS X YOSEMITE it says that it "Cannot be used with this version of the operating system" why does it say that if my camera is listed under the supported digital cameras for OS X YOSEMITE?
Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

How do you disable "Save As Copy..."? (CS5)
When I'm splicing a Photoshop file, since there doesn't appear to be a "Export Selection" option that actually works, I have to "Convert to Smart Object" -> "Convert to Layer" -> "Save As..." but it automatically selects the "Save As Copy" checkbox.
