Hey.. sorry for bothering everyone but I was wondering how come my mp3 player won't connect to the computer?
I have a Creative Zen Touch 20 gig. When ever I hook it up to the computer it says something bauot synchronizing with windows media player. I want to use the Creative Media Player though!!

SSR, thanks a lot. I apologize for burdoning you with such a simple problem. I lost my old HD and eventually just replaced the computer. When I downloaded MediaSource to get it back up and running, I didn't realize it needed a plugin for the Zen Touch. Thanks, it's working now.
Glad to hear it.
One last question thoug: now that I'm pack up and running, how can I get all of the music on the zen to sync to the new computer? It's telling me that a vast majority of my mp3s are protected. Probably because they mostly came off of old CDs I had. Is there a way to sync the protected tracks to the PC or will I need to put them on the PC straight from eac CD again?
MP3s can't be protected, except for the tracks Creative preload on the player. Are you sure they're not WMA files?
Either way protected files cannot be copied off the player.

IPod 4G screen is white, Won't connect to computer, wasn't restoring or in dfu. How to fix?

iPod 4G screen is white, won't connect to computer(Even though it's plugged in) no restoring was in process at the minute, and won't react to anything(Including turning on/off, no DFU, no Restoring, Home and power button aren't doing anything) How do I fix it?
Today, I was "screwing around" with an iron. When I pryed it open, (I'm guessing it must've hit my iPod 4G on the ironing board, I know, stupid decision) Next thing I knew, my iPod screen was white, or turning white, from an app I was in. I started freaking out because it wouldn't turn off or on. The sliding thing didn't even appear. I tried doing the "hold home and power button for ___ seconds" which didn't do anything, I tried plugging it into the computer, but the computer couldn't even tell it was plugged in. No restore or anything. It's currently white while I'm typing this... It's been about maybe a hour since it's been white. Any help or suggestions please? I'm not looking forward to taking it apart because recently I got the iPod fixed from when I had accidently shut it into the car door when it was in the pocket of my cardigan, which got caught in the door.
The back has a big diagnol dent across it, and I'm at a young age and not very experienced with this field, so I'm not opening anything. Again, this would reeeaaalllly help if anyone could help me with this issue! Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch won't connect to computer at all.

I got a new generation iPod touch for christmas. Updated the iTunes and all that jazz and it worked fine. I probably only plugged it in about 3 times or so because I have a dock that can charge it. (I haven't plugged it into the computer since I put it on the dock so maybe that has something to do with it?)But today I plugged it in and it won't connect to the computer at all. The computer recognizes it because when I plug it in that pop up comes up that says "this device can perform faster if you connect to it a Hi-Speed USB port" but it won't charge or connect to iTunes. But, my other ipod will connect and open iTunes with no problem.
Any ideas? I don't know what else to do and nothing on the support pages fixes my problems so I really need you guys.

nope. i thought about trying to restore it but i'm afraid i'm going to be stuck with a 300 dollar ipod with nothing on it. and i think it's completely stupid that you have to pay for support because i was looking for a number to call but my parents didn't get any coverage when they bought it for me. i don't know if you have it but if you do, try calling and please please pleaseeee let me know. you'd be my savior. haha.

Palm TX won't connect to computer via WiFi for Hotsync

I've tried the network Hotsync on all my computers, XP, Vista 32 and Vista 64 (which started the whole attempt) and the device fails to connect to the computer, even when I put in the IP address.
My wireless network sees the Palm and I am able to access the Internet through it, but it won't connect to my computers. Any suggestions?
Post relates to: Palm TX
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here's my Wifi Hotsync help file:
Wifi HotSync with a TX
1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it's checked.
3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).
6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!
7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again. Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option. Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to set a rule to allow it.
On your TX, check these settings from the pull-down menu in Hotsync:
Modem Sync: Network
LanSync: :LANSync
Network Setup: (Wifi should be listed as one of the networks)

IPhone 4 Won't connect to computer

My iPhone 4 (ATT) running 4.3.2 has been working fine, it charges with the wall charger and cable just fine, then when I take the charger cable and bring it to my computer to update all my apps, I plug it into a USB (direct to computer, not via hub) and the iPhone doesn't show up on the computer, not even just to access my photos it doesn't show up at all.
I've tried restarting my computer twice, restarting the phone twice, using different USB ports but nothing seems to work, my iPhone won't connect to a computer for some reason...
Any suggestions?

I too am experiencing this issue and have had no luck. I've cycled off both PC (windows7) and iPhone, disabling firewalls, and rebooting with device connected. I get a glimmer of hope with rebooting PC with iPhone connected because iPhone starts drawing power upon startup but iPhone still doesn't appear in device manager. If at that point iPhone is disconnected and reconnected it will not even draw power.
PLEASE HELP!!! Dying to upgrade from iOS 4.3.2 to 5!

IPhone won't connect to computer! Error!

So my dad wanted his iPhone updated to 2.0 yesterday, so he asked me to do it on my computer. His laptop wasn't around, so I plugged it into my computer, updated it and gave it back.
Then today he came to me, saying his phone won't connect to HIS computer anymore.
I've tried plugging it in and all that happens is a box that says "camera now connected... open with...." but none of them are iTunes, and it won't connect the phone.
Please help, any respond would be greatly appreciated!

In all honesty, he leaves for a business trip in about an hour and needs his phone to connect.
Can anyone help? Sorry for such short notice

IPod always appears as charging, won't connect to computer

My iPod charges fine from the wall charger but when i disconnect it it still says it's charging and since it does it looses battery from the charging icon being displayed all the time.
Also, it won't connect to my computer or any other computer at all, it just has absolutely no reaction to it plugging it into one(Note that i have tried other cords and computers and it still dosen't connect at all)
Any ideas?

no my ipod's not recognised by my computer or any other program on my computer. so the only thing i have'nt tried is restore-in my ipod as it doesnt appear in itunes at all and i dont no how else i could do it. i have tried to make it work on both my old computer and my brand new so therefore its not a disk drive problem and i cant fix that even if it was because it doesnt appear in the disk managment section either..

IPhone 4S, brand new, won't connect to computer, will connect to charger. Help?

I bought a new iPhone 4S last week. After trying to connect it to my computer, it asked me to uninstall and reinstall windows. I did. Still wouldn't connect to computer (windows). I have an iPod touch as well. It's been working great with my computer and iTunes for almost two years. Never had a problem with that. With the iPhone I've tried using different usb ports, nothing, different cords, nothing, tried resbooting iPhone while plugged into computer, nothing, tried rebooting the computer with iPhone plugged in, nothing, closed all background running apps, nothing, tried updating to iOS6, and THAT did nothing. It will connect fine to the charger, but my computer absolutely refuses to even sense it. Has anyone else had this problem, or should I just take it back to the store tomorrow?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

Ipod touch won't connect to computer, windows 7, and itunes, and won't charge on my computer

Whenever I plug in my ipod touch to my computer, NOTHING HAPPENS.There is no "bleep" sound, nothing shows up under my computer, nothing shows up in itunes, and my ipod touch won't even charge. How can I fix this?
I have tried many things to fix this issue, including reading and doing everything listed under "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows".
I have:
- deleted itunes and reinstalled it
- reset my ipod touch using the home and power key
- tried fixing drivers
- using a different cord
- using a different computer (my ipod touch won't even show up on any other computer)
etc.
And yet my ipod touch still will not connect to my computer or itunes, and will not charge on my computer. It charges fine in the wall, though.
I have more information that I believe may be integral to fix this issue:
- My ipod touch is up to date with iOS 8.0.2
- My itunes is up to date with version 11.4
- I tried to connect my ipod using bluetooth, and it shows up like this
(other than this, it won't show up on my computer at all)
- After I had updated my ipod touch and itunes and even synced my ipod (which had worked fine), I had then put a facebook app and facebook message app on my ipod touch, which after I had done that the next day I noticed that my ipod touch would not even show up on my computer at all (so I deleted the apps) and yet the problem is still persisting.
- I installed iCloud on both my ipod touch and my itunes
- Other than what I stated, I have not made any changes to my ipod touch.
In my device manager, NO APPLE PRODUCTS/DRIVERS SHOW UP ANYWHERE
The only place that apple mobile device show up at is here -
I've even tried to reset/stop/set to automatic the Apple Mobile Device here, and still it does not help.
Someone please help me. I've provided much information, so some assistance would really be appreciated. If I need to provide more information, please let me know.

You can try going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and then try setting up via iTunes. If still problem then set up via wifi and go to an Apple Store
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Very frustrating.... iPod won't connect to computer or iTunes

I've seen other topics here posting similar issues, but I thought I would start a new one anyway.
Every time I connect my iPod to the computer, the "connected" screen pops up on the iPod, but nothing shows up in Devices on iTunes. Sometimes my computer recognizes it, sometimes it doesn't.
Up until a few months ago, I didn't have a docking station, so I connected my iPod to my PC quite often. I never had an issue with it. Now that I have a docking station that charges it, I don't connect my iPod nearly as often. When I do, I have problems. I tried downloading the new iTunes.... that worked.... for one time. Now it won't recognize my iPod again. So I tried re-downloading it again, still, nothing. I've reset my iPod; opened iTunes then plugged it in; plugged it in then opened iTunes; restarted the computer; and stopped the iPod service then started it again. Nothing helps; it won't synchronize and connect with iTunes.
Is this an iTunes problem or an issue with my iPod? Please help! This is really annoying.

Hi,
I've had this problem too, but the support articles don't help. I reinstalled 10.6 multiple times but it did nothing, then finally downgraded to 10.4.1, which worked. Now it's doing the same thing with 10.4.1. Every time I've had this problem, the device manager says Apple Mobile Device USB Driver isn't working. I've reset it multiple times. I don't really want to have to reinstall again, any ideas why AMD keeps failing?

IPod touch won't connect to computer after failed update?????

A few days ago, I had received a new cable to update my iPod touch from Amazon. This cable is not made by Apple. I have had two cables in the past from Apple, one that came with my 1st Generation Nano and one that came with my iPod touch. The former cable is the older version of the cable, while the latter is the newer version. A year ago the newer cable that came with the iPod touch broke. So I bought a new one from Apple. Then that one broke in June. Because I did not want to spend any money on a new one, I just used my old cable. It worked for a while until it stopped functioning. I have not updated my iPod touch until recently when I had purchased this new cable (which looks like the older version of the cable). It had updated my sister's 4 year old Video iPod and my 1st generation Nano. When I had plugged in my iPod touch with this new cable, my Compaq Presario V6000 laptop said it was syncing the iPod. But on the iPod screen it was saying the opposite. It was allowing me to use my iPod while Syncing it. Recently it has been doing that, when this iPod was brand new it was saying syncing, cancel to unsync. Now here is where the problem with my iPod has occured. So on the sync page on iTunes it said that there was a new update ready for my iPod. So I clicked update and allowed iTunes to download the software, extract the old software, and back it up. But in the middle of backing it up, it said my iPod was disconnected from my computer. When it was clearly connected to my laptop. I unconnected my iPod and reconnected. Now it said it was connected. It said I had to restore my iPod to its original settings and while it was doing so, it said that my iPod had disconnected again, while it was clearly plugged into the computer. Now my iPod won't even update at all. And every time I press the hold button it shows the symbol for itunes and the cable, meaning that I should be connecting to itunes, even though it is hooked up to the computer but not being recognized. The cable works though, because right after this I had updated my Nano to see if the cable was broken. I forgot to mention that similar problems with connecting and disconnecting occurred with the other plugs to, but not to this extent. Can anybody please help me solve this problem? Could it be the cord? My ipod? My laptop(I would say that it is my laptop's fault, seeing that it is a piece of garbage. But I tried connecting my iPod to my sister's macbook pro and it did not work either)? Would you recommend me to just bring my ipod, the new cable, and my laptop to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and ask them in person??
*Sorry if some of the wording does not make sense. If you need any other information ask me. I want this solved as soon as possible.*

Could there be a problem that is happening to my ipod right now that is not associated with a usb cable problem? I want to avoid buying a new cable until I eliminate all other problems that I could have. If it is not a cable problem I don't want to spend money on something that is not necessary at the moment.
By the way, by following your advice with my current cable, iTunes recognized my iPod, and said you must restore this iPod before you can use it with iTunes. I clicked on restore. It extracted the software and once that was done it said Preparing iPod for restoring. It started to do it but then it said "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (13)."

IPod touch won't connect to computer

my parents bought me an IPod touch for Christmas and loaded all their music on it. I opened it up last night, charged it and it worked! Wonderfully. This morning there's an icon showing a power cord and the iTunes logo and my computer says it needs to be restored for some reason. It won't link up. I keep hearing the noise for it connecting and disconnecting....then an error code (9). I've researched it and tried to follow all the steps. I'veade sure my USB driver is good. ive uninstalled iTunes and all apple software....reinstalled it. Nothing works. I'm forward deployed in the military and don't have access to an Apple Store anywhere near me. I'm hoping that my parents didn't waste their money on something that won't work. Please help!

Check your security software
