Why would windows not recognize my i pod

why would windows not recognize my i pod

Maybe a driver got messed up. I don't know what operating system you have but I know my Win 7 likes to forget drivers every once in a while.
Also, if you have a newer device and older version of iTunes (10 or less) then that iTunes simply may not be able to recognize your newer device.
The first thing I'd check is if you have the latest iTunes.
If so, try plugging your cable into a different port.
Try swapping cables in case that one is bad
You can also give your device a reset. Sometimes the device turns off it's charging/syncing port and the reset turns that back on. You reset by holding down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
If none of that works you may need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. You're just uninstalling the program, as far as I've experienced it doesn't delete any content.

  • Why would Aperture NOT recognize duplicates?

    Why would Aperture NOT recognize duplicates when importing?
    It was working a few imports ago.
    Jerry

    I should explain the situation better. I was pinched for time yesterday.
    I was importing images to build a new Aperture Library. The images are in folders about 100 each. I had already imported the images from 12 of these folders. Part of the reason for building a new Library was to assign 'Keywords' to the greatest extent possible. Since the images encompass subjects like family, travel, and friends I was importing in groups with like keywords. This meant I was picking through the images in the folder looking for like subjects and then importing them. I would then go to the next group. Each time I was counting on Aperture to show me only those images which I had not Keyworded and had not been imported.
    As I said, after doing this with about 12 folders (working well I might add) I keyworded and imported about 10 images from the next folder. When I went back to the folder to import more the previously imported 10 images showed up as available for import. (do not import duplicates was still checked as before). I could go to the project in Aperture and show that those 10 images had, in fact, been imported yet the import window kept showing those 10 images as available for import.
    Thus, my frustration and the reason for the question above.
    I tried quitting and restarting Aperture a few times. I tried 'Repair the Database' a couple of times with no change in Aperture 'don't import duplicates' behavior. I think the thing that finally changed things and Aperture again started to recognize files which had been previously imported as duplicates was running 'Rebuild the Database'.
    But, the question remains, why did Aperture suddenly begin forgetting previously imported files and continue showing them as available for import in the import window?

  • I'm unable to update Firefox. operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items. I own the computer, why would I not have permission? This has happened other times and I don't know what it means.

    I just wanted to update firefox and it won't let me. I drag the icon into applications, then a window ask me if I want to replace older version. I click yes and the window mentioned above appears. I purchased this computer new, I'm the only owner. Why would I not give myself permission to do something on my own computer.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Hi,
    The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
    Your choices are
    1) Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12
    2) Use the Canon DPP application to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then import the TIF files into the organizer
    3) Use the free download of the Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 file to DNG files and then import the DNG files to the organizer.
    Note: if you are running on XP or Vista, you need version 8.3 of the converter - the latest (8.4) will not work.

    Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
    I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
    Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
    You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
    The web site below tells you how:

  • Why will CS3 not recognize Pict files?

    Why is it that CS3 Photoshop will not open Pict files, even after
    going into Image Info and saying open all images like this Pict file in CS3.
    . . . . and yet . . . .
    I can open the Tiger OS application PREVIEW and open the same Pict file?
    I can open any Pict file in Preview and convert to jpg, then CS3 seems to
    recognize the image file and open it.
    Why will CS3 not recognize Pict files?

    Oy!  
    The Mac Paint.plugin has to be in ./Applications/Adobe Photoshop Cs3/plug-Ins/File Formats/Mac Paint.plugin
    You need to find the Mac Paint.plugin in the Goodies/Optional Plug_ins/File Formats/… then relaunch Photoshop.

    Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
    Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

  • Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
    Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

  • Why would Verizon not replace my Samsung Galaxy S5 that is not performing the way I need it to?

    My Samsung Galaxy S5 will not allow me to have my corporate exchange email and my personal .com email on it at the same time. I have spent hours on the phone with Verizon technical support as well as Samsung and according to both, the phone will not allow it and the only thing I can do is to pay for a "touchdown" application to manage my emails. If the phone does not allow such a simple function that all other phones seem to do, why would Verizon not sympathize and replace the phone with something that would work for me. I been a loyal customer for over 8 years and the only thing I was told was that "the system would not allow them" to swap out the phone with something else. Unbelievable. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

    Broke new phone Verizon couldn't help even give me form for insurance I pay for in their stores.Seperate corp.Had no Internet waited 2 weeks mail me form.They suck.Did run across 1 dude finially knew his stuff and personally handeled many problems.It was after most working there didn't took me month replacement phone mailed.If customers service person seems new ask for someone can fix problems asap.

  • Why would anyone not use VBR?

    FYI, I'm not an audio guru, and while I don't use the best audio equipment, I also don't buy the cheapest stuff out there.
    All that aside, my question to the many very knowledgeable people here is: why would someone not want to check the VBR option when encoding?

    Because it can sometimes interfere with importing for one and not everyone can appreciate the difference.

  • Why would you NOT enable Loop Guard on switch ports?

    Hello
    Why would you NOT enable Loop Guard on switch ports?
    It is disabled by default on all ports.
    Since it prevents loops, in the absence of receiving BPDUs on non-designated ports, why would it not be enabled by default?

    Good luck with that.  FCC already did and have left it alone...  My theory is because... Google charges carriers to use allow devices to use it.  At one point Sprint paid to go exclusive for wallet.  FCC can't force you to buy your competitors product.
