While syncing my ipod all songs and pictures were cleaned out of it and now it is not recognized by itunes.  Help!

Whiling syncing my ipod all of my music and pictures were cleaned out and now my ipod is not recognized my itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it didn't help.  Any suggestions?

What shows up on the iPod's display when you have it connected to your PC?  Have you tried resetting the iPod with it still connected?  To this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try rebooting your PC, opening iTunes, and then reconnecting your iPod to a high powered USB 2.0 port.

  • IPod Touch NOT recognized in iTunes : HELP NEEDED

    My Ipod Touch is NOT being recognized by itunes.
    -Ipod Touch 3g with 4.3 software
    -iTunes 10.2
    -PC: HP Pavilion Dv6.
    -OS: Windows 7 64-bit [Eng]
    Ok so... I previously kept my ipod touch version as 3.1.3, and only used itunes 9.2 because I tried using itunes 10.1 and my ipod wouldn't work with it, so I downgraded back to itunes 9.2.
    With this, everything was working perfectly fine.
    I recently bought an app from the app store (Infinity Blade) and tried to sync and install it onto my ipod touch 3g.
    itunes had a popup reading that it couldn't be installed as my software had to be 4.1 or higher.
    So, I decided to update my ipod.
    Like I said above, I tried using itunes 10.1 with my ipod but it wouldn't recognize it then either, so I went back to using itunes 9.2.
    Because of this, I had to manually install the 4.3 software onto my ipod.
    Tried using my newly updated ipod (4.3) on my itunes 9.2, and it said it didn't work, that I needed the new itunes.
    So, I installed iTunes 10.2, plugged in my ipod touch 3g with 4.3 software,
    my computer said it downloaded the Apple Device drivers successfully. My ipod shows that it is being charged, but it is still not being recognized in itunes.

    Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

  • My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itune

    My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itunes or my computer.
    It has a list of instructions as to how to fix it and I followed them until it said to load the driver for the device from a disk.
    I have no such disk nor do I know of one.
    My computer said the driver is present but there is a problem installing it.
    Does anyone know of what disk they are talking about?

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation not recognized in iTunes 12

    Before iTunes 12, I would always be able to sync my 32 GB 4th Gen iPod Touch (iOS 6.1.6) with no problem at all. After the upload, it is no longer recognized by iTunes. It's connected, but the iPod icon is nowhere to be found. I restarted my laptop, but the same problem occurs. Can I get some help with this issue. Thank you.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized in itunes

    I recently purchased a used "AS IS" ipod nano 6th gen. The only problem with it is that it's not recognized by iTunes. I was fairly sure on purchasing it that solving this would be as simple as resetting it, or, at worst, figure it out by googling the problem. The method involving holding down the sleep/wake button and volume down for 8 seconds until the apple logo appears didn't help. Putting it in disk mode didn't help. I have a mac and I suspect the original owner of the ipod may have used windows, so I tried both of these things again with my dad's PC. I at least got some response--an error message saying the usb device couldn't be read or something of that sort (I can look up the exact message again tomorrow if it's relevant).
    I don't think it's the USB plug or cord, because both of these work with my iphone and another ipod nano in the household. I don't think it's itunes either, for the same reason. I'm running Lion, fully up-to-date, on a Macbook Pro. ITunes is also fully up-to-date.
    I wouldn't be devastated if I can't fix it, since it still charges and plays music (the previous owner's hip-hop/club type music works pretty well for workouts), and it's probably not worth it to me to pay Apple to repair it. But…if anyone has any suggestions for things I can try to get it totally working, I'd love to hear them!

    solved it :-)
    Apparently it's not enough to reinstall iTunes itself, but all mobile device software should be uninstalled, then your pc has to be rebooted and then iTunes has to be installed again.

  • Why isn't my ipod touch not recognized by itunes it's a new ipod?

  • Froze upgrading ios 6 on connect to itunes screen not recognized by itunes and wont charge no power with usb

    The guy at the Apple store said "Now thats a Brick" "I've never seen or heard of one this bad!"
    I bought the phone with little to no info on it. I was told that it froze after several failed attempts at loading IOS 6.
    Now... It will only turn on if plugged into wall, it will show black, then apple, then "connect to itunes" screen and thats it. As soon as I unplug, it dies. If I try power off, it turns back on and freezes in same place. Reset, same. And unabale to Factory restore cuz I cant unplug from wall. Im asuming its in dfu, nothing works.
      When connected to USB,no power, no response from pc (win xp) or Itunes. Although... I swear I heard pc beap once as though it "found new hardware" but on inspection, Nothing.
    My theories: 1) Battery is hooped. ( but I was told it worked fine a month ago) The longest I have had it charging is 4hrs and i died as soon as removed.
                        2) VCC conductor. Would explain USB issue.
                        3) The phone was "jailbroke" and IOS6 did not like that. Isnt there programs to reverse this?
                        4) IOS6 interupted, then phone got factory restored. Is it possible there is No "OS" on it?
    I never touched an Iphone untill 2 days ago, and I have read and tried every troubshooting solution I could find. If I can fix this I'll be an expert!
    Any help appreciated.

  • While syncing movie iPod/iTunes deletes my music and Podcasts

    While syncing movie iPod/iTunes deletes my music and Podcasts. This is very frustrating becaucse I have ALL my sync settings set to Manual. What can I do to stop this? I'm about to throw my iPod against the wall!

    sorry you've just been dealt a blow from Apple trying to "help" its customers. you're correct: you cannot sync only music or movies. even if "manually sync" is selected, once you sync something like moves, the rest of your library gets deleted. it's completely backwards and non-intuitive.

  • While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpcted error occured and now my ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer and all data has been removed. What can I do

    While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpected arror occured before my data was restored and now Itunes will not recognise my Ipod. My Ipod is also not seen as a device in My Computer but asks me to install drivers. What can I do?

    - First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    - Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode:

    - Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
    - If the other computer works and yours does not see:
