Windows XP and Itunes don't see Ipod

See if any of these articles help.

Windows XP cannot detect an iPod.



USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.





Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod

For what it's worth, I have the EXACT same problem. My iPod Classic started exhibiting that behavior right after I got ty iPod Touch and synched it with iTunes. Now my classic wont do anything on my computer - it won't even charge. Does Apple help...NO!... they don't give a ****, they have my money.

Good luck ... Think I am going to get rid of iPods and go to Zune.

Dudes.
I have an advice.
Try with another USB CABLE and not the one that CAME with the iPod. ( that, if you have a spare one from an older iPod).
I personally think that apple is selling broken USB cables with new ipods.

Especially Classic ones.

Thanks for the laugh.

One of the most ridiculous statements I've seen on the forums (and I've seen quite a few).

I came to this conclusion mainly because if i stretch the cable while connected it disconnects. I am going to test with another ipod USB cable today and if it works you'll have to give me a cookie when I'll come to London :P

Ok, so yours may be defective.

How does that equate with the statement "+apple is selling broken USB cables with new ipods.+"?

the company i work for bought like 20 of them, and I'm pretty sure most of them have this problem. If you look on the topics around here a lot of people have the same problems with ipod classics. itunes freezes or doesn't work at all.
Update: i got another cable and tried with it but no luck. I come to the conclusion that the USB port in the ipod is broken. Sometimes under windows XP it links with my laptop in USB 1.1 ( Windows says that the device supports higher speeds but the port doesn't , altho it does too ). When it links in 1.1 then it works flawlessly but at USB 1.1 speed ( ~1.2 MB/s ) which is rather gay.
I don't know what to think or do anymore... if you have any other suggestions ... feel free.

Take advantage of the warranty.

Service request.

I've had the same problem as kirk1015B for a week with my 5th generation ipod. I've tried every suggestion in this string and still no solution. I've even deleted the UpperFilters registry and LowerFilters registry as suggested by Microsoft. My son's iPod mini is recognized. I've tried my 5th Gen on four different computers on all available USB ports and with 3 different synch cables and nothing works.

i got an 80gb classic and windows or itunes doesnt recognise it. i've tried swapping cables, unpating windows and reinstalling itunes but nothing will work. its funny though because my ipod nano (2nd gen) seems to be working fine on it. so, my mums investing in a macbook for me =] but its still annoying me anyway. and i thought i was the only one with this problem!

I hope your new Mac help. Here's what I found out. I took my iPod to a local Mac Superstore and they said they've seen this problem once before and the issue with the ipod circuit board logic. I'm out of warranty and out of luck.

Hi,

I had similar problems, which I resolved. I've written down the pain I went through, and how I fixed it all:

Here's hoping it helps someone.
