Since updating iTunes my iPod Touch is no longer recognised. I never had this problem before,I just connected the Touch to the computer and iTunes opened.

The Touch appears in 'my computer'.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Good morning.

I know there is an issue with iTines version 9.1. Mine comes up with all kinds of syncserver errors but it still recognises my iPod Touch and will sync ok.

I've followed all the suggestions from Apple including reinstalling iTunes.

Still no luck.

My iPod Nano connects as usual but not the Touch

Have you tried asking on Apple Discussions? Or you could ring up Apple and ask them.

My iPod Touch appears in 'My Computer' as a camera.

I've tried all the suggestions in Apple Discussions (it seems quite a common problem) but the situation remains the same.

Sounds like the firmware on the new version of iTunes and on the Touch is conflicting with each other.

What version of iTunes are you using and what firmware is on the Touch, are they both the current versions?

You could always try downloading an older version of iTunes are installing that, if it works with the Touch then problem solved, if it doesn't and your Touch is in warranty then get it replaced at your local Apple store for free.

All issues sorted by this method

1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).

2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.

3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.

4. Update the driver:
o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
then click Next.
You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it
