Windows recognizes the ipod but itunes or updater not

hey folks i need help pretty bad. i do have 30GB ipod photo. when i plug it in to power suplly it's not getting charged,windows recognaizes it as a removable harddisk but when i open i-tunes it doesn't recognizing at all neither ipod updater. when open it i just have the folder icon with an exclamation point and nothing is happening. so i hope you guys can help me out.

Try to put your iPod in Disk Mode, and see whether it got mounted and allow you to do the Restore (open the ipod updater - it will erase all file with your iPod). If no, you have to fix it with a Mac, (hope you can find a friend using a Mac). Again, put it in Disk Mode and plug with a Mac, then do a Restore in Mac version. Once it has being completed, plug it back with your PC, and restore in back to PC version. Don't give up, as I managed to fix few iPods with the same problem

    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.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • With itunes 10.5 last version today 15 october, windows 7 64 bits, unable to recognize ipid touch in itunes (windows recognizes the ipod) help !!

    windows 7 64 bits : it recognizes the ipod Touch
    but itunes is unable to see the ipod
    I've been following all the steps descripbed in apple.support and the problem remains
    iOS 5 and Itunes 10.5

    I found the solution after a year of dysfonctionnement
    My motherboard was P7P55D from ASUS
    operating system  Windows 7 64 bits
    I have upgraded the BIOS with the lastest BIOS from ASUS ant itworks : My PC recognizes all ipods and also my Tomtom GPS that was also not recognized.
    So update your BIOS ... it is risky but it works (or ask a professional to update your BIOS)
    and with Itunes 10.5 ou can also synchronize the ipods via WIfi : no USO required (once you've succeeded in connecting ipod to the pC one time)

  • Windows sees my iPod but iTunes doesn't (USB 2.0)

    I had this problem when I got my iPod a few days ago, then when I got iTunes to see my iPod it took AGES to upload songs, and when I reconnected my iPod, iTunes said it needed to reformat it.
    My PC at work speaks to my iPod just fine through it's USB ports, but is a new, high end PC with top spec components, whereas my home PC is a couple of years old, though fairly high spec though it's components may not be as good.
    The conclusion I drew from that is that some older USB 2.0 ports just can't handle the capacity of information that iTunes and iPod require in order to speak to each other.
    I noticed today that my PC had a Firewire port in it's soundcard at the back (yours may do too, take a look) so I went to HMV and bought a 3rd party iPod Firewire cable for £10. Now my home PC and my iPod are the best of friends, and I'm a happy bunny (which I wasn't earlier in the week).
    If you are having similar problems, there is probably nothing wrong with your software or your iPod (poor thing!), its almost certainly that your USB ports just aren't up to scratch (despite the claims of Apple).
    If your soundcard doesn't have a Firewire port, a PCI Firewire card will cost you about £40, unless you take the time to look around and get one a bit cheaper. This will be the answer to your prayers.
    Good luck, and I hope this info will spare you some messing about.

    Make sure you have the most recent version of itunes. And if you do have the most recent version of itunes. Check to make sure your ipod software is up to date. If either or is out of date it will cause itunes not to sync with the ipod.
    Itunes versions should be - 5.0.1
    - you can find the version by going to help and then about itunes. In the strolling box you should see version .....
    Ipod software version should be 1.2
    - you can check this on the ipod by going to setting and then about. scroll down and you should see the version 1.2

    When I connect my nano to my computer I receive the following message: There is a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it.
    In addition, when I connect my nano, my computer does recognize but the library and playlists in my Itunes is not the same as the library/playlists on my ipod (on this ipod). If I purchase new songs from itunes, they go to the library on the computer but I cant get them to the ipod playlist.

  • TS1363 iTunes recognizes my iPod but my computer does not.  Is there a solution for this?

    When I plug my iPod Nano into my computer, iTunes recognizes it, but my computer does not so I am not able to sync it.  I have turned my iPod off before plugging it into my computer, but that doesn't seem to help.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I haven't had this issue until about 2 weeks ago and the only thing I've done within the last two weeks was upgrade to the latest iTunes.
    I appreciate your help!

    I figured out why my iPod wouldn't sync.  I must have previously changed my "Sync Music" setting to "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres".  Once I changed that setting to "Entire music library", my iPod was able to sync successfully.

    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 see the iPod, but i dont have any access

    Hi.
    When I plug in my shuffle to my USB (2.0) port, it comes up right in windows, but I cant get in to it through my computer. itunes and ipod updater dont find it at all. The message I get when I try to go in to it through my computer is "G:\ is not accessible the request could not be preformed because of an I/0 device error".
    It cant have anything to do with my USB ports 'cause I've recently installed a new USB 2.0 PCI card. Had the same error with the old ports.
    Someone who know why it is doing this to me??
    PC   Windows XP Pro   Athlon

    yes I have.
    The strange thing is that I have a Nano that works perfect with my computer. strage..
    however, the shuffle has nerver worked well, in the begining it worked ok, but not good, but later on it´s been worse and now it does'nt work at all :/

  • Windows sees my iPod, but iTunes doesn't

    I recently updated my iPod which was previously working fine. It goes through the whole update process with no problem. When that is done, I tried to connect it to my PC, but get the error message that iTunes cannot read the contents of my iPod and that it needs to be restored to the factory settings.
    I am currently backing up my iPod and then am going to restore it, but my question is this: is there any way to get this update to actually work? It seems like there are many posts complaining about the most recent update. Did Apple just issue an update without doing any testing at all? An update is supposed to fix problems, not cause thousands more....

    So, now that I've backed up all my songs, I can't restore my iPod. I tricked iTunes into letting me click on the restore button, but then there is an error and the program shuts down.
    itunes.exe version 7.0.0.70, offset 0014ff5a
    Code: 0xc000005
    Thanks Apple, your update had rendered my iPod useless.

  • Im connected to the internet but itunes says im not

    I updated my 4 last night to 6.0 through icloud and this morning it has the cord and the itunes logo on the screen. I tried to plug it in to my PC and it tells me that there is no internet connection, so I restarted my PC plugged my 4 back in and it gave me the same message. I then ran the diagnostic check it said I have no connection when I know for a fact I do and it also said there was no device attached. I clicked on the help tab and it said to uninstall itunes and then reinstall. I did that and still I get the same message? meanwhile I cant get my phone to turn on. I tried holding down the start button and the home button it goes blank and the apple comes up I let go of the start button keep the home button pressed for 5 seconds and it just goes back to the pic of the cord and the itunes logo!
    Help! I need my phone!!

    Try again without your anti-virus, anti-anything and firewall.
