Windows cant open ipod

Ok when i plug my ipod into the computer Itunes won't list it windows explorer says its a removable disk instead ok its name and everytime i try to open it windows explorer freezes. When i open ipod updater it wont respond after saying initializing.

If the iPOd operates fine unplugged from the PC, and you see it in windows when you do plug it, try ALL the steps in this artical first http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
NOTE: When removing/uninstalling iTUnes, you will uninstall quicktime too, and when reinstalling iTUnes disable antivirus and security programs

  • Cant open ipod

    Since a few day i cant open the ipod on the iphone. it load for 30 seconds but after that just the normal programms are shown on the screen.
    do i have to reload my iphone, and is it absolutelly save when i use a backup after that?
    i wont lost anything in my phone.
    excuse me the maby bad english. i hope you know what i meant
    regards.

    Hello neo42,
    There are a few possiblities here.
    First, try powering the iPhone off by holding down the sleep/power button until you see the "Slide to Power Off"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Make sure iTunes is up-to-date (8.0.2.20 currently) and the iPhone is up-to-date (2.2.1).
    It may be a music or video file that cannot be played.
    Try creating a new playlist in iTunes and drag a small selection of songs to the new playlist.
    Sync only that new playlist to the iPhone and test.
    If the iPod application opens, you can then sync increasing more content to the iPhone until you isolate the suspect music or video file.
    If the iPod application won't open regardless of what you sync to the iPhone, you may need to backup and restore the iPhone:

  • Cant open ipod 4th gen camera!

    I open the app and the shutter wont open. ive tried restarting and resetting. nothing works. help!

    All I said was the that iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. They should be in yuor iTunes library (and also in a computer backup).
    Yuo apps should be in yuor iTunes library. Besides redownloaing them like I said in my first reply you can transfer them to your iTunes library by:

  • Cant open ipod bc forgot password so disabled then cant connect to itunes

    i forgot my ipod password and now its disabled and says to connect to itunes and i did then it says cant connect to ipod bc its locked what do i do

    You should not be prompted for your iPhone's passcode lock when connecting your iPhone to iTunes on the computer you normally sync your iPhone with. This should occur when connecting your iPhone to Tunes on a computer you've never syncing your iPhone with.
    If you don't remember the passcode, try placing your iPhone into recovery mode. If this is successful, this will require restoring your iPhone with iTunes.

  • IPod Shuffle Help - Cant open files on ipod (blank screen)

    I'm sure it's already been covered here, but I couldn't find anything that helped.
    I have a iPod shuffle, and iTunes recognises it but wants to re-format it (not my biggest problem), and Windows only partially recognises it.
    In My Computer it is listed as an iPod (E:), but when i open it, which it does, it displays a blank screen. It doesn't recognise any files in it AT ALL. But recognises how much free space i still have on my ipod. I can open my ipod files (Songs) on friends and school computers, just not mine.
    It just seems that i'm missing a file of some sort, which is able to read the files on my ipod shuffle, but i just don't no what it could be.
    I have tried every available solution, reinstalling iTunes/iPod, with no luck. I also just added service pack 2 for my windows xp pro and thought that would have solved my problem.
    Any suggestions?

    cant open up files on ipod (blank screen)

    Have you tried syncing it again? There might be some error during the last sync.. If nothing's wrong, on the left panel, there's your iPod, click on the arrow beside the icon and there's everything..

  • Cant open itunes when ipod connected

    I cant open i tunes when my ipod is connected. as soon as i disconnect it itunes comes up. if i connect my ipod with itunes already running it stops working.
    im really starting to loose my patience
    help!

    Are you sure you actually synced them? I know you said it shows up when your iPod is connected, but I'm not sure if that means it's really there. When your iPod is connected, click on the TV Shows tab in the main window in iTunes. Check your syncing preferences there and make sure the shows are actually getting synced.

    cant open itunes. get error message 7 followed by error message windows error 127.     i have redownloaded new updates with luck.   window xp

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Looks like the iPod Hardisk is having problem.
    Can you do the iPod Disk Diagnostics as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.
    You system check maybe above but dont  go for Auto, select the Manual test, as tt2 described in his detailed post.

  • My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open up music i purchased on itunes. I started having this problem when I updated my ipod

    My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open or play music i purchase on itunes. This problem occured when i updated my ipod.
    Thanks

    I also have a 4G ipod touch and a similar problem. Since I updated to the ios5 software any new songs I add to my iTunes don't sync to my ipod main playlist. They show up in the 'recently added' playlist, but not in the main 'songs' section. I fixed the problem once by restoring to factory settings and rather than reinstalling from a backup, I created a new ipod name and synced everything onto my ipod as if it was new.
    This worked until the next new song I added and then the same problem started all over again. If you do reinstall everything as new, you may want to take a screen shot of where all your apps are and make sure all your photos etc are saved, as everything will be from scratch. Hope this helps!

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    You need to decide which computer you want to transfer iTunes content and photos from. If this will now be your computer at work, you will need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your Mac to your PC. You can transfer your iTunes library from your Mac to your PC at work following the instructions included with this link. This will make the iTunes library on your PC at work identical to your iTunes library on your Mac at the time it is transferred from your Mac. You will also need to authorize your PC at work with your iTunes account with iTunes - the same iTunes account used on your Mac.

  • Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Hi neffn!
    I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Note that, as it says in those articles:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

    HELP!!!

    Hi ashraf_8900,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that it can be frustrating when you cannot open iTunes or sign in with your Apple ID. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps I would recommend. I would first recommend that you completely uninstall iTunes and all of its related components in the correct order, however. Please use the attached article for information and instructions on removing iTunes from your computer. Once removed as described in the steps below, please install fresh and test. If the issue continues, please let me know.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    Steps
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel.Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then restart your computer.
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them. Doing so might have unintended affects.
    Happy holidays,
    Joe
