Windows uninstalling device- my iPod is not recognized in iTunes so how can I fix this?

I haven't had a lot of problems with my iPod or iTunes until recently, when I plug my iPod in, it is not recognized. I tried EVERYTHING to fix it, went as far as restoring it to it's factory settings.... I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about a million times, and I think the problem is iTunes. The iPod and the USB chord thing is not the problem. My iPod and the chord will connect to another computer that I have. So I went into the device manager and found
USB Storage Device
and underneath:
windows is uninstalling this device.(Code 21)
Okay, so I'm not the geek squad and I'm not good with computers or anything AT ALL. I've done my research, and I've found a lot of search results for this problem, but all that I have found have been recognized so the problem has been fixed for them fairly easily.
I have an iPod nano generation 5
I have a lenovo 2005-2006 in computer
I also have windows 7- but I CANNOT update it (this may also be the problem but I need a way to work around it)
All I know is I'm having music withdrawal.
Any way that you can help please?

If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

  • Ipod is not recognized by itunes and I can't fix it

    I updated to 1.2 sucessfully by just leaving it plugged into the computer while I took a shower and then when I got out it said sumthing like "your ipod is updating, just leave it plugged in" or whatever, and it finished. I didn't have any problems with that and I had to get off the computer so I did.
    Come the next time I get on my computer, I plug in the ipod, open itunes, and it says "itunes cannot read the contents of the ipod "DYLAN'S IPOD". Go to summery tab in ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
    This is really getting on my nerves cause I reset it by unconnecting it from my computer and under the ipod menu, but it still says I have to restore it from the ipod preferences menu. THERE IS NO IPOD PREFERENCE'S MENU ON MY ITUNES(7) OR ON MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE PLEAS pelase please PLEASE!!!!! help me get my ipod working again. I just want me music back, plz?
    Ipod 5th gen and windows xp   Windows XP   30 gig ipod video, got it 4 christmas last year

    the same thing happened to me, and no, itunes doesn't recognize it.
    ephpod also doesn't recognize it, and neither does ipodwizard. i removed itunes and installed 6.0.5 and that also doesn't recognize it.
    i downloaded an older ipod updater exe (from 3-23, before it became integrated into itunes 7) and even that won't recognize it.
    i went back to itunes 7, and when i run an itunes diagnostic i get all green lights except the bottom, which means itunes can't tell that it's hooked up.
    but i see it in my computer, and the details still say that it has the data on it.
    also, when i try to use it normally there are no songs on it. the details say 0 songs, etc, but still says 22gb of space taken.
    i'm running windows xp, service pack 2, itunes 7, and am using a 5g 30gb video ipod. the ipod says that it is firmware version 1.2

  • My ipod is not registering on my computer, how can i fix this?

    I have "clicked" something and now my ipod/itunes isn't working properly.
    When I connect my ipod, it doesn't register in my drives folder. When I go into itunes, all the songs stored on my ipod are there, but are greyed out. I have tried to upload songs to itunes and this goes onto my itunes player but is not added to the songs already stored on my ipod.
    I have done all the usual things, switched the ipod off and on, changed the usb ports, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, all to no avail.
    All help would be greatly appreciated.

    We certainly want to make sure you get the most out of the GPS, wplaxico! Was this tested primarily outdoors? When did this begin? Any other recent apps of updates installed when this started?
    Thank you,

  • If you unplug the headphones ipod does not stop the music. How do I fix this?

    If you unplug the headphones ipod does not stop the music. How do I fix this? При отключении наушников ipod не останавливает музыку. Как это исправить?

    What happens if you reset the Nano? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Start playing another track, and then pull the headphones out?  Any change?
    I am going to try this out with my 6G Nano later on to see if this functionality does indeed exist on this model. Or perhaps somebody who comes along to this thread can offer an answer.

    Hi, I have an iPhone 1 that is blocked (because of wrong passwords) and isn't recognized by iTunes. How do I fix this? Thanks for your help!
    By the way I'm using a MacMini and all operating systems are up to date including iTunes.

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

    Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website: 
    iPhoto 9.4.1

    I've tried safari, chrome, firefox...I've cleared the cache as well. This has been going on for several months and used to be tolerable as it was not every website. Now it has become every website and is impossible to deal with. My roommates computer and my cell phone connect fine. I'm fully connected to the router yet websites don't load. I'm using 10.7.5. Thank you!!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hi...I have the OS X v10.6.8 but my QuickTime is not playing .mov files. How can I fix this?
    Depends of the specific kind of file you are trying to play. MOV refers to the file container. Any data compatible with the system used to create the file can be placed in an MOV file. If you don't have the same codecs available on your computer to play back the file or if your version of the QT player does not expect expect the encoded data to be in an MOV file container, then it cannot/will not play the file. Use the Finder Info window, media player Inspector/Information window, or a dedicated utility to determine what compression formats were used to create the MOV file and then install the required codec(s) if available.
