Windows is not recognizing the ipod

I plugged my Ipod into a friends computer to charge. After which the Ipod gave me the "Do not Disconnect" sign for about an hour. Now, when I plug the ipod back into my computer it does not recognize the Ipod. I have a feeling that it needs to be restored but that cannot happen until the Ipod is recognized as there by the computer. I've tried setting it to disk mode, with no result.
My friend has a video ipod with the latest update software (if that matters) and we are both running Windows XP.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Windows 8 not recognizing my ipod

I got a new computer in December and since then, I have been unable to get the computer to recognize my iPod. It's an older model. White with click wheel, 30GB. I can't reset it using iTunes because the computer won't even recognize it. It's not even charging when connected to the computer. I've gone through the 5 steps, but the problem isn't with any of those. The iPod works, iTunes works. Windows 8 is the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.

ITunes & Windows XP not recognizing my iPod

I have a 3rd Gen. click wheel iPod and have been using it without problems until today. I recently got a 2nd Gen. shuffle and loaded songs onto it with no problems either. I just tried to update my iPod and iTunes and Windows XP won't recognize my iPod. It charges though. I tried restarting my computer, updating iTunes, changing USB ports, and reseting my iPod. My shuffle works fine and my computer and iTunes recognize it. Is there anything I have to do so my computer and iTunes recognize my iPod since I recently used my shuffle?

3rd generation iPods use Firewire and they are not USB compatible. Get a PCI firewire card, insert it into the computer and enjoy the convenience of the superior connection.

New Laptop with Windows 7 not recognizing my iPod

I have iTunes loaded (I used a USB transfer) and now I'm trying to charge/update my iPod, but when I connect it to the laptop nothing happens. I've rebooted. I've put the iPod in disk mode. I've tried all three USB ports on the laptop. Nothing. The cable works because when I plug it in with the iPod to a regular outlet, it starts charging. My previous computer had Windows XP. I've been searching online for about an hour without any solutions to this problem. I have the lastes iTunes update loaded (9.0.2.25)

Problem Solved! Posting in case someone else has same issue. It was so easy once I found the right solution. I uninstalled all the USB controllers, then rebooted the computer. When it came back up, it reinstalled all the USB controllers. When it was done, I plugged in the iPod and TADA...it began to sync, iTunes came up, and my iPod was recognized. Hallelujah!

Old Windows XP not recognizing my iPod nano?

I've tried to connect my iPod to my desktop but nothing at all happens. When I connect to my laptop (which hasn't been reformatted like my desktop) the iPod fires up. All my music is on my desktop so I need to figure this out. I DLed SP2 but still no avile. What could be wrong?

WIndows not recognizing my ipod shuffle ?!?

I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The orange lights up while charging and when I plug in the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my friend said it should)
I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and had the same problem. I just got this for my son for Christmas and needless to say he's a bit disappointed.
Did I buy a lemon?
Please help!!!

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I tried doing this it told me that it was for a 32 bit version which I obviously do not have. My computer is only a few months old. What do I do now?

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I did that it came up with another message that it was only good for a 32 bit version. I guess I do not have a 32 bit version. I just purchased my computer a few months ago and it uses the windows 7 operating system. What do I do now?

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

Itunes is not recognizing my ipod. there is no sync under file. I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.

can anyone help?

Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
BTW... you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

Windows XP stops recognizing the iPod Nano

hi
I bought my Nano in Dec 2006. Assuming it is 2nd generation. Not sure how to verify. Until now I was able to copy files from Real Player to my Nano.
Now the Nano battery charges when I connect the USB cable to the Windows XP Pro system but Real and iTunes is not able to "see" my Nano I have an unhappy child at my place
What should I do? If I have to reinstall, what should I reinstall and how can I reinstall anything when the PC doesn't see the Nano device at all?
I tried connecting the Nano to my friend's system with his working cable, still his PC also doesn't "see" my Nano.
The Nano operates normally (i.e. we can listen to the songs)
Any pointers is appreciated.
Mahesh
