  • Windows doesn't recognize my ipod

    I have the 30gb video ipod and when i was playing a game it froze. So I connected it to my computer and itunes loaded up and it said my ipod was currupt and i should reinstall the software. So I did and it started to when my computer froze (which has only happened once before). So i turned off my computer and restarted it, but then it wouldn't recognize my ipod and i can't get itunes to find the ipod so i can't update the software. And windows keeps on saying no drivers are found on the ipod so i can't really do anything with my ipod.
    Does anyone have any idea how to get my ipod to be recognized by itunes and/or windows?

    I brought it into the store and they were able to restore itfor me.

  • My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

    My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
    When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?

    Hi, Grafiti. 
    Thank you for the question.  Below, I have attached a couple troubleshooting articles that will help resolve the device not being recognized by iTunes.

    My computer running Windows 7 doesn't recognize my ipod nano 2nd gen.  Also my ipod not seen in my itunes.  I did all the reset stuff and nothing works.  Do you think it is just shot???

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. Are you a Mac or PC user?

  • Windows does not recognize my ipod nano 7 gen

    Windows 7 doesn't recognize ipod touch.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

    Still no joy, see if any of these articles help.

  • IPod Updater doesn't recognize my iPod anymore

    The iPod Updater doesn't recognize my iPod Nano anymore. Only Windows recognizes it.
    What should I do now?

    Try downloading the Latest iPod Updater and then Restoring the iPod to factory settings.

  • Windows will not recognize my ipod

    My windows will not recognize my ipod. I tried running the latest Ipod Updater several times and received the following error message: Ipod requires Windows 2000(SP) or Windows XP, Please update your software and try again. I have Windows XP so I'm a bit confused to why I'm receiving that error message.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I already tried "re-starting" my ipod and that didn't work either.

    Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various ‘generic’ solutions that you can try in an effort to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually).
    First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
    Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
    Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
    Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
    Also See:

    If you are getting a ‘Missing Drivers’ message, try this:
    1. Go to http://www.driverguide.com and register (free)
    2. Download ‘usbstor.sys’ & ‘usbstor.inf’ to your PC and place them in your i386 Folder
    3. Update both drivers by selecting the two files you just downloaded
    4. Reboot computer
    5. Open iTunes and then connect you iPod
    If all the above fails, you may have a Virus, Malware or SpyWare problem.
    If you do find that your Device Manager is blank, you should probably check up on this issue first: No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It

  • Updated to 1.2.2 - Now Windows Doesn't Recognize

    Hiya, I've had this 5G 80gb iPod for about a year and this is the first major problem I've encountered.
    After updating to 1.2.2 (something I now regret) Windows refuses to recognize my iPod, I've followed all the guidelines and I've even tried to connect it to my laptop to no avail. The Device Manager seems to show a problem with the USB port, but I can use other hardware without any problem, and the iPod won't work on any of my six ports (there's a weird 'negative' sound each time I connect it). I can listen to my music alright, but I can't take or put anything in my iPod if Windows doesn't recognize it.
    Could it be a version problem? And in that case, is there a way of reverting the firmware?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi CamBej,
    Have a look at this article about windows not recognising iPod,
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    If you want to revert back to version 1.2.1 on your iPod you will have to restore it, version 1.2.2 has been removed as it was causing a lot of problems.

  • Upgraded, doesn't recognize my ipod now (SYS)

    I made the mistake of upgrading my iTunes and now it doesn't recognize my ipod. Instead it shows an ipod in the Source window named SYS with none of my music showing up. I think it still is reading something on the ipod because it shows how full my ipod is, I just can't get to any of the music. I mostly use my ipod for listening to music through my computer so it's a bummer that I can't get to it, and there is music on there that I don't have the cd for anymore so I can't just reimport it. Also, I completely removed the new iTunes and reinstalled the iTunes I used previously and it still doesn't work.
    If anyone has seen this before or has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I'm not very computer-literate so talk slow.. haha. Thank you!
