XP stopped recognizing iPod, iPod still works with other XP computer

I had my iPod and iTunes working hapilly on my main XP Home computer until recently. XP now beeps several times (connect/disconnect) when I plug the iPod, and the drive letter briefly shows up in My Computer with a red flag, and it comes and goes for a few minutes before finally giving up.
I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice with no change.
The iPod is still recognized on 2 other XP computers that don't have iTunes (I use it as a USB drive on those machines).
I have reset the iPod a few times and no change. The iPod works well by itself, and other USB devices on the main XP machine still work fine.
I did a driver rollback to March (oldest date I could find), and I know the iPod was working fine then, and it made no difference.
I am open to any suggestion. I have been considering reinstalling XP on this machine to clean it up anyway, but the Make Recovery CD program on this machine does not work, so short of buying a new XP license, or buying a new computer, I am stuck with this one.
Thanks in advance

I thought about that, but the iPod does not show in Disk Manager. It shows sometimes very briefly in My Computer, but disconnects immediately when it does.
The drive letter assignments on this computer are a little funky, but the iPod used to be N: and currently there is nothing assigned to N:
At this moment, it is plugged in and the computer keeps beeping with the typical USB-in and USB-out sounds every few seconds.

All ipod and iphones are using same type of chargers. So, you can get any chargers that support apple ipod or iphone. They are all compatible.
There are many types ipod chargers for travle, car, wall, retractable, USB and etc..

If indeed you have the HP Officejet 6500a make sure that you have the latest firmware on the printer and that you are connected to the same netwok. Locate the action icon on your apple mobile device, when you have a photo or document open, find print select print and printer then print again. The following docment should help.

Can the ipod video work with my Wimdows computer?

I was thinking about buying a new ipod video, but I'm unclear on the requirements. I have a windows xp home edition from 2002 without a service pack. Do I need to have a service pack in order to use that ipod or can i just go without it?

Yes, you do.For full details:http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html

HT1386 I just reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. Help!

reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
Help!

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?
The iPod Classic uses different drivers than the Nano

FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
Good Luck!

If you are saying that the iPod asks for the password for the network and you do not know it, what may work is to turn on iCloud keychain for the iPod and iPad., Thet may sync the password from the iPad to the iPod

Otherwise you will have to go into the router settings and reset the wifi password in the router

Ipod Touch works with APPLE and not WINDOWS

I have a first generation touch. Yesterday the PC crashed while syncing with the iTouch. After that it would not see the iPod any longer. However the APPLE I have sees it just fine. I have gone through the detailed uninstall and re install itunes process several times and tried cleaning the registry - still nothing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 .
The PC based iTunes syncs with another 2G and a nano and a shuffle just fine. Windows also sees the 1G Touch..... ideas other than moving my library to my laptop? I have also reset the 1G and upgraded the software now to the latest firmware. It still works with the APPLE but not with the PC. I am sure this is a driver issue but I cannot get it fixed.

Well I happened on the answer after doing a lot of searches. Why doesn't apple post the fix on their site. This problem is due to their installation package for Vista and the fix does not require all the uninstalls and re installs you have been asked to do so many times....
THANK YOU BeeBopp

Re: Ipod touch is recognized as a camera
Posted: Feb 16, 2009 7:43 AM in response to: Twin195 Reply Email
This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.
Here are the steps:
1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account
3. Single left click on START
4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)
5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)
6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)
7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)
8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties
9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab
10. Single left click on " Update driver "
11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista
12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown
13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "
14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.
15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.
16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.
17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.
Hope this works for you as it did for me and several others.

HT201335 does the Ipod touch work with the airplay mirroring

Does the Ipod touch work with airplay mirroring?

No. Only iPhone 4S and iPad (2nd or 3rd Gen) as it requires more processing power. You can still use airplay with your device though.

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Will the newest version of itunes that I need for a newer ipod still work for an old ipod?

I have an Ipod that is 4 years old and have an old version of Itunes that I use with it. My son wants to start using his Ipod that he just got last Christmas on this computer and Itunes wants me to download a new version of Itunes for it. I'm wondering if I download the newer version of Itunes, will it still work with my older Ipod. They are both Ipod Shuffles. Thanks.

Yes.

It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

1. Nothing and live with it
2. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.
