Hi,


Seems that my computer is not detecting my Ipod.


I already setup the driver and everything but seems that it is not recognizing the Device.


What can be causing that ?

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

When I connected my Ipod to computer it used to do simply nothing. It was not loading, not recognized by Itunes...
What I did was going to System -> Device Manager
There I had the Aplle Ipod USB Driver, but it was not properly installed or something like that, it had a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.
I plugged out my Ipod, deleted the driver and plugged in the Ipod again.
So the computer automatically installed the needed driver (again, as it did, when I used my Ipod the first time) and everything works...
I guess this works also, if you have an Ipod, that needs a CD to install the driver from.

If one has an issue with iPod/iPhone detection on Windows 7... It is because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL. You need to update the driver from pointing to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
It worked for me.
Cheers,
Steve

Yes, this works. Go to device manager > portable devices > right click on Apple iPhone and update driver from this location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers

iTunes should detect your iPhone

Hey Steve, That is what is happening to me as well.. No Ipod touch in windows 7.. You are saying not to point to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers but not really saying where you should find the MPT driver to get it to work.. I love windows 7.. It's like way faster then vista but without my ipod working I'm back to running vista :(

Hey Guys, Thought I should inform you of a fix.

Right if you are having trouble with itunes not picking up the iphone on windows 7 also the ipod. Plug the iphone in to the PC, navigate to "device manager" on your PC (search for it in the menu if you have to). locate "Portable Devices" in the list and below you should se something like "Apple iPhone". Right click and go down to "uninstall" once completed. Remove the iPhone then open iTunes and plug the iPhone back into the PC, the drivers will re-install hopefully allowing you to re-sync your ipod/iphone. Make sure all anti virus and firewalls are disables as they tend to tamper with driver installations.

Thanks

You may want to try what the person a few posts above us just recommended. I've not had too many problems with my ipod as of yet, but I guess when it comes to the itunes software downloads it will be different. I don't download a lot of songs so maybe that's why I'm not having problems.
