I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod touch. After the update I got a message that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver could not be installed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times, but still cannot fix the problem. I have followed the suggested fixes in Apple Support. Any suggestions? Thanks!

well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden

Hello, My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden. Today before I went running I downloaded some new podcasts to listen to. I plugged in my iPod and for some reason iTunes could not recognize my iPod nano. I run iTunes on Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro and have successfully synced my iPod before with this system. I do not know why it doesn't work now.
Per the instructions on Apple Help, I went through the troubleshoot steps (i.e., restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, updating iTunes, etc.). When all that failed, I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but this still does not work.
I cannot afford to purchase help through Apple, but I like running and I like listening to new stuff when I run. Can someone please help me on this board? I am pretty good with walking myself through simple computer steps.
Thank you in advance!

Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

Still no joy, see this.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Also maybe this. I Am still not clear about your problem

Hi all, itunes does not recognize my ipod touch 5th gen but it does recognize my ipod touch 3rd gen.?

Hi all,
itunes does not recognize my ipod touch 5th gen but it does recognize my ipod touch 3rd gen.?
Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, itunes 10.7.0.21, ipod 5th gen ios 8.3. I know I am not running the latest version of itunes for the
ipod touch 5 gen. but at least with itunes open I would get a message stating cannot connect this ipod because I am not running the
lastest version of itunes. That message would come up everytime I was charging said ipod with itunes open. I just updated to iso 8.3
and now I don't get that message anymore when I have itunes open.I tried turning off ipod/computer/restarting, nothing. I tried going
to administrator/services/apple moble device and stop/start service nothing. Device manager shows the drivers are installed.
Any info will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Itunes does not recognize my Ipods

I am running Windows Vista 64bit. All of a sudden, my itunes does not recognize my Ipod touch or Ipod Nano. As a matter of fact, I am not sure they ever connected since I installed 10.5.1. I have tried to uninstall and install itunes like Apple suggests several times but I get the same result. I have had the installation fail by not installing Apple Mobile Device Support so I somehow managed to install it eventually. However, the result is the same. Still not recognizing my IPODs. The Ipods are recongized by Windows as I can see them in the Windows Explorer with no trouble.
I tried to go back to 10.3.x and it did not work because it did not recognize something created from a newer version of itunes. So although it looked like it installed, it never opened.
How do you fix this? Is there a way to install an older version of Itunes without loosing any data?

I believe my problem is related to an incomplete uninstall of itunes. I folled the directions in the Apple support pages but I have a feeling those directions are not complete. I found this page on the interntet on how to completely remove itunes:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
and I was wondering if anyone had used this or something similar. Anyone know anything about this procedure?

Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano

itunes does not recognize my ipod nano 6, it is a used one and has 1600 plus songs, it shows the songs, but won't let me do anything with them

I had this exact problem. I had to plug the iPod into a USB port on the back of the computer tower not the fron ones. Hope this helps.

Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit

Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit. Is this a driver issue? Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

hi sally,
see if this user tip by Yorkwill helps:
+In the end what works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:+
+1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in+
+and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really+
+matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).+
+2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:+
+o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)+
+o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).+
+o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!+
+You should find the driver info in a sub folder of+
+C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B+
+Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder+
+name into note pad – you’ll need it later)+
+If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not+
+been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.+
+3. Locate the ipod-camera device:+
+o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >+
+Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager+
+o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as+
+‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.+
+4. Update the driver:+
+o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on+
+‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.+
+o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’+
+o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check+
+‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.+
+In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder+
+containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example+
+above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), +
+then click Next.+
+You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue+
+installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come+
+to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.+

I had an accident with my ipod. i did not know that; nowadays, the warranty does not cover my ipod if the screen is cracked. but now the battery is not working. the warranty does help me for something??

i want help, not the same comments that i will not be helped. i admit my fault as the owner that i had the accident, but i believed that i was secured with my warranty. otherwise i would ha decided to do not have it if i was going to be the one paying to be fixed... how can i still trust Aplee Corp if the are not helping me with a devise that i paid the price that they decided giving me a warranty to be sure that i am secure while i use my devise. now i would like to know if i can have a refund of the warranty because i am looking for a different way to fix it because i have to pay and pay. but i paid for this situation and i had such assintance leaving me aside telling me that i am hopeless and also that i have to pay more and more.
ir does not work like that. i feel bad being treated like that.

It never - ever has. The manufacturer's warranty covers you against faults due to manufacturing. (So if the screen did crack due to a manufacturing defect, Apple warranty would cover it, BUT - Apple would be aware and would be able to identify the cause of a cracked screen due to manufacturing defects, so ...)
Since you did not want comments telling you what you don't want to hear, you should condsider yourself lucky that you have any replies to this post. Sometimes, the truth hurts.

Could be a lot of reasons. First try to print a supplies status page- If that prints with color on it, you have a driver problem.
