If iPod Is Not Recognized by iTunes<\/span><\/h2>\n

If<\/span>\u00a0your iPod nano, iPad, or iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or your computer, you should first verify the system requirements. To do this, make sure that your computer has the USB 2.0 port and the latest version of iTunes. If your computer does not meet system requirements, you will need to upgrade it before using your device. The computer must have one of the following operating systems: Mac OS X (version 10.6.8 or later), Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or later), Windows Vista, or Windows 7. You should also make sure that you have the latest software updates installed for your computer operating system. To update your Windows software, select Windows Update from the Tools menu of Internet Explorer. To update your Mac OS software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu.<\/p>\n

If your devices still don\u2019t appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Windows PC, the device might not be restored in iTunes. An exclamation point, question mark, plug symbol, or \u201cX\u201d will appear next to the device\u2019s entry in Device Manager.<\/p>\n

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won\u2019t connect to iTunes on your PC, try the following solutions.<\/p>\n
