Windows does not show Ipod touch

when I connect to computer, it does not recognize the ipod touch

Thanks f/ this info, bobjbkln. Your remark, it's snide tone notwithstanding, reminded me I shouldn't be looking f/ the iPod in the Explorer, but rather in the Device Manager. In the Device Manager it IS recognized as a connected Portable Device.
That recognition does not address my additional issue w/ iTunes not starting up automatically when the device is connected, however. Likewise, if the device is connected when the computer is booted, iTunes does not automatically start up.  Can you help me figure out why that is happening?
Thanks! Looking forward to your suggestion(s). Will appreciate your response having a kinder tone.

    Hello Rea Meir,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Make sure the *Enable Disk Use* option is enabled for your iPod under it's Summary tab in iTunes. For more help and information, see this Apple support document.

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • Installed latest mavericks, now windows does not show up on startup. How do i fix this?

  • Want to upgrade to lastest version - help/about Firefox window does not show "upgrade" as in instructions.

    I want to upgrade to latest version but -Help/About Firefox- window does not show "upgrade" as in the instructions. I cannot find an "upgrade" function anywhere else. How do I upgrade? The version I have is -18.0.1- it came with this used computer.
    I believe this computer was hacked. Word started doing very strange things. We wiped the hard drive and reloaded everything as it was originally when I bought it. I am now getting hacked online.
    They originally got into one of my credit cards last fall. That is when this all started. They got my AOL email address. They also got the credit card current balance, minimum payment, due date and then even the payment amount. They got into my Barnes & Noble account and now checkout does not work. Now I believe they have gotten into my AOL account - one thing after another has started going wrong. I cannot change that AOL user id/email address since it is the master and I would lose about 15 years of "stuff".
    The folks that sold me this computer told me to use a free version of an antivirus. I am very unhappy with it. I never had ANY trouble when I used TrendMicro's expense products. Those folks also told me to use Firefox, since AOL uses Internet Explorer - which I already knew is like Swiss cheese.
    Now, I cannot seem to get an upgrade of Firefox. Is this also a hack?
    Please help any way you can. Thank you for your time.

    It's probably just the Firefox updater having some problems. go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 20.0.1

  • Pop-out window does not show the video

    I am having a video chat, but the pop-out window does not show the video when the main window is minimized. I have the latest version installed. The same problem happened once a few months ago (with the latest version installed).I searched online for quite a few days, but none of the solutions worked. Then one day the problem went away (mysteriously).   

    Do you have this issue with all your contacts or only contacts using Skype on a Mac computer?

  • Site Window does not show any item

    Hi,
    My site window does not show any items/folders to modify after I open my site.  I was wondering if there is anyone who can point out what I did wrong.  Usually the site window shows all the contents as soon as the site is opened.  Please help.  Thank you.

    If you look inside the webcontent folder, in Finder view (or Explorer???? if you're using Windows) - anyway, are there in fact files in there?
    Try Site > Update > Refresh all.
    If that doesn't work, try making a new site from existing content, which should give you a new site file (call it something slightly different) sitting beside your old one. I'm guessing here, but it can't hurt.

  • ITunes in Windows PC only launches at reboot does not recognize iPod touch

    I have had this problem for sometime, but have lived with it. I have my iPod touch 1G connected to a Windows XP PC for syncing charging etc. If I unplug the iPod touch and use it for a while not connected to the PC and then plug in into the USB port, iTunes does not recognize the touch and I have to do a complete reboot of the windows PC. Is there a work around for this problem?

    Is windows freezing for you undr those circumstances, or is something a bit different going on? (If you're getting an error message, let us know what it says.)

  • Windows 7 not recognizing iPod Touch

    I just bought a new Windows 7 Home Premium laptop and I'm trying to connect my iPod Touch to it to put my music on my new laptop (my old computer crashed with all the music from my iPod plus more, and most of it wasn't otherwise stored), but when I plug in the iPod Touch to the computer, Windows 7 does not show it as connected. iTunes shows it is connected and it charges just fine, though.
    So I guess I have 2 questions:
    1. How do I get Windows 7 to recognize the iPod Touch?
    2. Is there a way to transfer the music from my iPod BACK to my computer without screwing up my iPod and risk losing my music?

    1. Apple Mobile Device Services controls communication with the iPod/iPhone. See this article for help on troubleshooting the problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    2. There are multiple programs that can do this. However, Pod to PC is freeware and is highly regarded. Google it.
