iPod not being recognised

Norbert666 · 19 Jan 2006 at 09:24

Hi, for some reason, all of a sudden, my iPod is not being fully recognised by iTunes.

It connects to the pc fine via firewire, I can see it as a drive in My Computer. It starts charging, but iTunes is not opening, and nor is the iPod updating.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sussed it.

It was a problem with the latest iTunes release.

Uninstalled 6.1 and redownloaded it. When I installed it, I noticed the Apple site has reverted back to 6.0, so obviosuly there have been issues.

Cheers

Nope. I haven't sussed.

Well I have now.

Just after reinstalled, and typing the above post, I uninstalled Quicktime (really hate it).

When I went to reload iTunes, it's saying it can't as there are parts missing.

Clearly they've linked the two together so you have to keep QuickTime.

QuickTime is the iTunes playback engine.

I've always been able to uninstall, I'm sure??

OK. Maybe I haven't then.
