Windows detects iPod but iTunes does't

I set the iPod to disk mode but when I tried to sync with iTunes it doesn't see it. Windows sees it as a portable device. (I've tried the 5r's with the exception of restore)

Found it

Help, Windows recognizes ipod but itunes doesn't

ive tried everything that ive seen listed but nothing seems to work. My issue is that Windows recognizes ipod but itunes doesn't. I would really apprecaite it if someone could help me with this issue.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this is still happening. I had the same problem until this newest version of itunes. The thing that always worked for me earlier was the re-starting of the ipod service. I have nothing else.
Good luck

Windows recognizes iPod but iTunes doesn't

Okay, so, on my computer, I open up iTunes and it loads up and runs fine. However, when I plug my iPod in, iTunes freezes up and doesn't let me do anything. My iPod will charge but it won't sync. When I do plug it in, an explored window opens up saying that I have connected a camera and it gives me options of what I want to do. When I unplug my iPod, iTunes is still frozen up, and the process is not responding. Does anybody know how to fox my problem?

Windows recognise iPod but itunes not

i tried different things from the apple site, but none worked.Windows sees my iPod (f disk) but itunes says that he cannot connect to my ipod.
Suggestions?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
Any suggestions?

IMac recognizes iPod, but iTunes does not...and freezes.

Hello.
When I connect my iPod Classic (I have reset it), the icon appears on my iMac, but it does not in iTunes, and iTunes immediately freezes, necessitating a force quit. iTunes is fine without the iPod connected.
I have upgraded iTunes from 9.2 to 10.0, but the problem remains. Can anyone offer help or suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello Jerry,
Here is the Apple support document related to your issue.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
If no luck there, I would try reformatting the iPod via Disk Utility using the instructions in this article.

Other than that though, I don't have too much for suggestions. Best of luck.

Computer sees iPod, but iTunes does not!

Even the Genius Bar guy couldn't fix this:
- Everything used to work fine with my 5G iPod and Lenovo T61 laptop w/XP
-Suddenly, iPod won't sync with computer anymore
- Did all the "5R" stuff, so now I have an iPod with nothing on it, but iTunes still won't see it.
- I know the COMPUTER and OS are seeing it, since the iPod shows up in the Device Manager, and all the Windows stuff shows the iPod is attached
- Sometimes I get the "Restore" pop-up, but no more.
- Deleted and re-installed a fresh copy of iTunes
- If I connect the iPod to another computer it syncs, but NOT "it's own" laptop.
HELP! This thing is useless and I am out of options that, again, even the Genuis Bar couldn't help.
ANY suggestions, anyone?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !
"tnd", good idea, but iPod hardware wasn't in the "software" area you pointed to. However, it got things in the right direction. Thanks.
Katrina: Worked like a charm. In retrospect, it's obvious, but it didn't occur to me (or, the Genius Bar guy) to look at the other hard drive letters. I'm using a laptop that connects during the week to it's "home base" corporate network when I'm in the office. There are "h", "l" and "n" drives there, and even when the laptop is undocked and running outside the office, I guess those drives are still in there as assigned, even though not connected. Checked as you suggested, and sure enough, the iPod showed as "h", and that must have been the problem. Reassigned it to "P" for "pod" since I'll remember that in case the IT guys at work add more drives to my node. Clearly, a "DOH!".
THANKS, my faith in Apple is restored -- I was ready to throw this thing through the window!

everytime that I try to connect my ipod to itunes, a message says the the program is not downloaded properly and needs to be re-installed. I had three different I T techs do this and I get the same message each time I try to connect. can anyone help ?

This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable. Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

Windows sees iPod but iTunes doesn't ALSO Windows cannot locate driver

Got my Nano (2d gen) a few days ago and have been stumped since I can't use it. Here's a few details. I'm running Windows 2000 with SP4. In trying to sync I have used both my laptop's USB 1.1 port but also a USB 2.0 card with and without additional power (which can sometimes cause problems). I have tried the 5 R's to no avail.
Here's what's happened so far. Initially when I connected the Nano Windows would look for the appropriate driver. After a minute or so, the computer would lock up and reboot. This happened 5 or 7 times. Very frustrating.
I then tried the 5 R's and started doing some research on my own. I think part of the problem might have been due to Windriver, which I believe controls USB drivers. I messed around with that and eventually got to the point where when I plugged in the Nano, Windows would search for the correct iPod driver. After a minute or so, a window would pop up reporting that Windows couldn't find the driver and did I want to disable this device or ignore the update.
Hey, at least the computer wasn't rebooting.
The strange this is that if I click on the System Tray, under the Unplug/Eject Hardware icon it shows that there is an iPod connected and the Nano will charge. And yet, iTunes doesn't report being connected.
I have searched and searched this forum and the web but to no avail. Are there smarter minds out there that can help me with this problem?
IBM T20 Windows 2000 Nano 2d gen with iTunes 7.02

I went through the steps in the document a day or so ago but it didn't help. I will try one more time, paying close attention to the details.
On a different note, just after I posted my question I attached my Nano and let it look for the appropriate driver. However, this time I pointed it to the WINNT\Systems32\drivers directory and my computer locked up and rebooted.
So I'm thinking there's an underlying problem and I'm just don't want to think about doing a re-install or re-format of my HDD.
There is one thing I can report. I was able to sync on my office computer so the problem's not the Nano.
Will let you know if anything changes. Thanks for the quick response.

TS1363 I have run as many troubleshooting steps on Windows sees iPod but iTunes doesnt and it still wont help. Help!

I followed as many steps in this troubleshooting step as I could. I ran into some problems that my caveman brain does not understand and now I need some help. Here are some bumps in the road:
When I tried to verify the correct driver was installed (step 5), I ran into a problem when I chose the inf file: "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware" Waah! I tried to make sure I was updating the driver for the right device, because I watched verrrry closely what changed in Device manager (Win XP SP3) when I disconnected and connected.
I ran into another problem when I tried to run msconfig.
Is there anyone out there who can help me get iTunes to recognize the fact that my good old shuffle is connected???
Also, I have two shuffles and both are being given the cold shoulder by iTunes. BTW I did the complete uninstall and reinstall per the instructions...twice (I thought I had forgotten a step)

So is there any entry for these iPod Shuffles in Device Manager when you have them connected to your Windows XP Machine?

Computer recognizes iPod but iTunes does not.

I plugged in my fifth generation iPod into the USB port on my computer. The comp recognizes it and begins to charge it, thats the good part. Usually when i plug in my iPod, iTunes pops up and begins to sync music(if needed), but i restored my iPod a week ago and that is when this began to happen. Any help here would be hot...

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

Windows recognizes Ipod mini but itunes does not.

i have been having problems lately with windows recognizing my ipod but itunes will not. i have gone to the support page and have tried everything on their twice now and still nothing. i got the updater to recognize it at one point and hit restore but halfway through it said cannot mount and now all my songs are gone.

If your iPod is recognized in "my computer", changing the drive letter can sometimes resolve this issue.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
These also may help.
