bon3yard Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 My Ipod was stolen a month ago so ever since I've been slightly bereft of my weekly podcast fix. My girlfriend suggested I use hers, it was a xmas gift last year and has never been used in anger although I did set up an Itunes account in her name. I opened up her itunes account this morning, plugged in her ipod and got the 'An ipod has been detected but cannot be identified properly...' spiel, followed by the 'If the problem persists unistall itunes reinstall again' bumph, which I've done twice now. All that happens when I reinstall it is that a seemingly new version installs but is populated with all my old podcasts and music...and it still doesnt recognise the missus' ipod. Grr, please advise as the official Apple website is next to useless. Its a touch screen Nano by the way. Thanks for reading. :'( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22988-itunes-issuesagain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Have you tried it on another computer/iTunes? That should tell you if it's a fault in the iPod or not.

bigdavid Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 My suggestion would be to do a reset on the iPod. Log your iTunes back in as you and then connect the "blank" iPod and set it up as yours, under your iTunes, on your computer. You don't mention if your girlfriend sync'd to your computer or hers, but remember that an iPod can only be sync'd with 1 host device (officially).

njc97 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Sod itunes, install mediamonkey instead. Worked better than itunes when my wife's ipod had issues.

Loz Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 True, but needs the iTunes drivers, so probably won't make a difference in this case. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22988-itunes-issuesagain/#findComment-538489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
