When i plug in my ipod to computer what should happen?
I'm trying to download a book off itunes or anything off itunes onto my ipod ( 5th gen 30gb ) when I plug in my ipod all I get is a beep from my computer, what should happen?
Hey fink51,
When you first connect your iPod to your computer, it should automatically install the required drivers etc. You then may want to open iTunes (or configure it to open automatically every time you connect).
If your iPod is not displaying in iTunes, or Windows, we'll need to start troubleshooting. See the following resource:
Apple - Support - iPod touch - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Thanks,
Matt M.

When I plug in my ipod to computer it only shows the apple
I connect my ipod touch to my laptop and all it shows is the apple symbol. I tried to find it in "my computer" and nothing. Tried to find in my itunes store and nothing. What is the problem? Anyone?
First, make sure iTunes is correctly installed. You may want to reinstall it.

If iTunes is installed correctly, hold down the volume down and sleep/wake buttons till you see the apple logo, then try again.

When I plug in my Ipod Touch to my computer I can not access my Itunes library. The following message appears "The program cant start because MSVCR80.dll is missing." Also, another message appears as well - "Error 7 Windows error 126" as well as APSDaemon.exe.
I have NO IDEA what the heck to do.
Any ideas?

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync. How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer. The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.
One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. -
I have downloaded the latest version of itunes but when i plug in my ipod it doesnt list any devices in itunes to enable me to choose my ipod to sync it. Its like there is a link missing or something blocking my computer talking to itunes. My computer itself recongnises the ipod but itunes doesn't. Please help!
Yes reinstalled itunes a couple of days ago but got it sorted now thanks, the problem was that when i wiped my computer last week and reinstalled everything using the discs the free McAfee anti virus that the computer came with was still in my all programmes list although i aren't using it. This morning i tried unistalling that (didn't think it would make any difference as the programme wasn't active) once uninstalled i pluged the ipod in and hey presto it is now recognised by itunes, THANK GOODNESS. So panick over for now, thank you very much.

My computer has Bitlocker encryption. When I plug in my iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes does not recognize it. When asked to encrpt the Shuffle I say no, but still not recognized. When I encrypt it, still not recognized (even after it was restored by iTunes). Any suggestions please?
Did you find a solution?
My touch is doing the same thing. -
When I plug in my iPod Classic, it is visible in My Computer, but iTunes gives an error message saying "The software required for this iPod is not installed corectly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software." It started completely randomly and now does it every time. I completely wiped out iTunes and reinstalled it via the intructions from this website, but it is still doing the same thing. Furthermore, when I go to Start, All Programs, the iTunes folder contains no data AND the desktop shortcup does nothing when clicked on. I have to go to Start, Run, and type in itunes.exe in order to run the program. Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Do one or more of the following
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice (won't erase everything)
> Go to My Computer (windows xp) or Computer (windows vista & 7) and see if iDevice shows
> Restore the iDevice completely (will erase everything)
> Make sure the iTunes and/or iOS firmware is up-to-date.

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?
Turn the printer off.

When I plug in my ipod touch 4th gen to my computer the computer frezzes. This is a new one. I have 2 others and an iphone all of which plug into itunes and the computer without a problem. Any ideas how to remedy the problem?
- Did it sync/connect to the computer before with no problem?
- Are yo using the same cable that works with the other devices?
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If still probolem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem with the iPod

When I plug my iphone into the computer to restore it I receive a "network connection timed out" message. However, when I plug in other iphones or ipod touches I can connect fine. Any help would be appreciated.
Try a powered external USB hub. It uses a 120V AC wall jack to power USB devices, and the Mac only needs to provide *just enough* to comminucate. Best Buy, Target, Walmart, ... about $20.
