This means you won’t get the obnoxious Apple Software Update application and various unnecessary background services iTunes includes if you install the desktop version straight from Apple. iTunes has to update from the Store and can’t install background system services.

So these must not match! Now the INF file is from the latest Apple drivers, so is the iPod screwed enough to be returning a DIS that matches to a USB device but not an iPod? Going to look at resertting the iPod a few more times.That’s because the Store enforces a few limitations on iTunes. Slight update: OK, so Windows 10 PnP returns a Device Identification String which it matches to a device in the 'Models' section of the INF file. I also plan to hammer it this weekend, since it should be a user solution.

I'm planning to go into my local Apple store next week, but I wonder if even their Geniuses understand Windows drivers and PnP.

#Itunes for windows 10 driver

I have noticed that Windows hangs when it is attached, and I have had timeouts on the driver install. I have reached the stage where it realizes that it is corrupt, and even tells me to restore it using iTunes, but if Windows doesn't recognize it. I have run all sorts of diagnostics on the iPod with no issues. So Windows PnP does not recognize it as a iPod, which is a software issue? So why didn't the recovery work? When I go through Device Manager to update the driver under Portable Devices to install the same driver as the iPhone is using, it tells me that it is not a valid driver for that hardware. Windows currently recognizes the iPod as a USB disk, even when I switch it out of disk mode. Like you, I have followed all the suggestions I can find on the web, including restoring my PC from a month ago and then installing an older version of iTunes with no luck. However, my iPhone 8 is working perfectly. I feel your pain! I have an iPod Classic 160GB that is suffering the same issue on my Windows 10 PC and tablet as of a couple of weeks ago. Short of a clean Windows 10 install I don't know what else to do.

reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support driver (usbaapl64.inf) - same behaviour.

uninstall iTunes, reboot, reinstall iTunes, reboot - same behaviour.

different USB port on the same computer - all behave identically.

different computer - tried it on another Windows 10 machine with an identical version of iTunes (12.7.4.76) - works flawlessly (with the same sync cable).

iTunes doesn't detect the device at all, but once the connect/reconnect loop gives up the iPod appears as a mass storage device - but iTunes continues to ignore it. The iPod appeared to connect, then disconnect and reconnect again in a loop until eventually Windows gave up and said the device had malfunctioned. However, I plugged in this newly purchased iPod to the family PC (via USB) and strange things began to happen. By this I understand that syncing has worked on their family PC (running Windows 10) in the past, but updates may have been run / fiddling may have taken place since the last successful sync. One of the parents already has an identical model which was 'working fine' (although hadn't been synced for over a year). I have a used iPod Classic 5th Generation (A1136) that was purchased for a parent as it is compatible with all their 40-pin gear.
