Windows Not Recognizing Ipod

ninjamunky
OK, I'm running Windows XP and my iPod is not detected when I plug it in. The only things that I could guess are wrong are that I recently had a trojan, known as BackDoor-AWI and that my router flaked out and I have no internet on the computer in question now. I'm not sure what happened, but for some reason, McAfee is telling me that it's all screwed up on startup. So it's not even running anymore. My computer does recognize USB keys, but will not see my iPod for some reason. Any ideas?

You should really fix these issues first.

But on solving the iPod issue, remove the iTunes software and iPod drivers, make sure the iPod isn't connected. Restart the computer and reinstall the software again.

Might be a good idea to restart the computer, even though XP doesn't really require the need to restart, it's probably a good idea, just to make sure everything registers correctly.

When you log in, load up iTunes (wait till it's fully opened and not in a busy state), then connect your iPod, Windows XP should detect the new device being connected, are you running it through a hub? Try running it directly from the USB 2.0 controllers directly off the computer to ensure that it's not a power deficiency problem. Also if possible, remove some USB devices that aren't needed.

If XP detects the iPod it should state it found an iPod and is installing the new hardware, once it says it's ready, iTunes should automatically detect it too. If not there might be a method of getting iTunes to search for it, unfortunately I'm not sure about those steps as I haven't got iTunes on here to test, although I did have problems with it detecting the iPod and eventually got around it, also had to make it work for 2 different iPods which was a similar roller coaster.

If it's still not working, then I suggest fixing the other issues you have with your computer.


Cheers,


MC

I also know there is a IPOD service that runs in the backgound. Maybe you turned it off accidently?
There are two ways to access the services:
1. click start>run
type msconfig
click services tab
then make sure that service is running

2. click control panel>admin tools>services
then make sure the iPod service is running

I don't have an Ipod so I don't know if that actually has anything to do with it but I'm just tossing that out there.
This is the description of it:

if you have win XP SP2 and iTunes 4.7 you could have major issues (Iknow people that lost all their data from this bug)
You'll need iTunes 4.7.1

I got it fixed. I uninstalled the iPod firmware updater program and iTunes, plugged in my iPod and it was recognized. So then I got a fresh download of the firmware app. and iTunes and now I'm good. Although, on startup, McAfee tells me that it's all messed up and I need to reinstall it, so it doens't really do anything. And I think my other virus scanner isn't working either. The only thing I can think of is that somehow that trojan did something. Although, my friend at school told me that as long as I have a router my PC should be alright. I figure I'll just do a reinstall of McAfee and !avast and see where I am then. Thanks for the help.

Some thing's wrong with my ipod or my computer. Windows 2000 only recognizes ipod as usb device. Each time I download my playlist it transfers to my hard drive instead of my device.

I have an Ipod Nano, I tried Floola, Yamipod, windows media player and it's all the same.

Hia-
- I have an iPod nano with a tonne of music on that I don't want to lose.
The music is in the library on iTunes (PC) not playlist.

Both iTunes and My computer suddenly won't recognise the ipod- what do I do without losing the music and starting over?
I've tried to backup library to DVD but my writers just spit the discs back at me.
Any help would be appreciated, it's driving us nuts
Thanks.

Strange USB/iPOD Event - iPod not detected in VISTA
Windows Not Recognizing Ipod

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and when I plug in an iPod nano or a USB thumb drive in any port they are not recognized. My USB printer still works though and if I leave everything plugged in and reboot Vista finds the thumb drive no problem but iPod still is not detected in either the device manager or in iTunes. Anyone else seen this?

I have the iPhone 3GS and it does not show up in my computer at all. I have followed several different steps to install it but nothing has worked. I even called tech support for Toshiba and restored my laptop to out of box state. I downloaded iTunes for 64bitVista but that didnt work and I assumed it wouldnt because my computer doesnt see it.Is there any explanation? I can plug in anything else to my USB ports but it seems to be an APPLE problem. -question by INEEDHELP

** Here is what worked for me **
Windows Not Recognizing Ipod

Here is what worked for me:

Go to the system's Device Manager. Locate the entry for the Apple iPod/iPhone. In my case, it was under something like "Mobile Devices" -- It was wrongly associated to the Microsoft MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL driver. You might need to select view->show hidden in order to see the entry.

Right-click this guy, and update the driver by selecting the location on the HDD by yourself. The location to the proper driver is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.

You might need to resetart both Windows services: "Apple Mobile" and "iPod Management".

It worked for me.

Good luck,

Steve
