Why won't my computer recognise my ipod?

I have just installed an updated version of itunes on my laptop but I can't get it to reccognise my ipod. Any suggestions?

Have you tried resetting the iPod while it's connected? This will often get it to show up. If not, are you on Windows or Mac? Have you seen this;

  • Why won't my computer recognize my ipod when I try to restore it?

    I've had a problem with my ipod saying "do not disconnect". I've gone through every step to no avail. When I tried to restore the ipod and launch the updater, it's telling me it "can't mount ipod". My usb port is fine and the computer recognizes the fact that something is plugged in, but isn't recognizing the ipod. (It still says do not disconnect) The only other thing I can think of is that it might be the cord, but we were able to use it once (only once!!!) and download music. It hasn't worked since.

    You must mean Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Player. Get the latest versions here:

  • Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ad mini

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. You can use some third party software like this iPod file transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer, and then you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPad mini.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents??

    Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents saved in pages and save them again? It keeps saying access denied when its my computer and I have Lion OS X

    Right click the document and select 'get info'.  Check the permissions for the file.  If several of these files have the wrong permissions then you may need to repair user permissions.  See this for instructions:

  • Why won't my iMac recognise my LEVRO Ereader?

    Why won't my iMac recognise my LEVRO Ereader? It works fine with windows laptoip and the manual states it should work with 0S 10 and above.

    Go to > Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive and work thru the sections that pertain to the external superdrive.
    Try cleaning it with a lens cleaning disc.
    example > Memorex CD and DVD Lens Cleaning Kit: Electronics
    If that doesn't help?  It is covered for 1 full year, so take it in for service or exchange.

    Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get the internet.

    Turn Off your computer. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your computer. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • I was writing to -R dvds fine from blank dvds purchased last year.  Inserted newer purchase -R dvds and MacPro spits out dvd.  Why won't my computer now accept -R blank dvds?

    Likely either the batch of media is defective, or the drive itself is not working.
    Swap for different media; for a different batch from a different vendor, and also try +R media. 
    The slot-loading drives on various Mac systems can and variously do fail.  If different media doesn't work, then you probably have a failed drive. 
    If your Mac is of same the vintage as OS X v10.4 that's listed in your footer and you're not in a position to replace or repair the optical drive in your Mac, then you might consider using an external USB CD/DVD device.  If you don't have another Mac around to perform the recording on, that is.

    Go to About This Mac in the Apple menu.
    Click on the Version number in the window that opens. It will change to Build number. What's the build number?
    Also, what error message do you see, or any other helping description of what happens when you try to update.

    Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone?  No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.  I have checked all the settings and all seems correct.  It simply won't pull in all of the contacts.  Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

    I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

  • Why won't my computer won't recognise my ipod?

    I just bought my ipod nano today. At first everything was ok and it was charging while I set up itunes. Then i had to take a phone call and my laptop went on standby.. now my computer wont recognise my ipod at all, and the ipod isn't charging. But the ipod lights up when i plug it into the computer so obviously it recognises the computer. I even tried going into control panel and changing the usb settings but it didn't work! Is the problem with my ipod, the usb connection or my computer?? HELP!!!
