But if there is no cellular plan, the GPS receiver will get that necessary information directly from the GPS satellites, which can take a minute or two (just a like a separate GPS unit would). When the GPS receiver is first turned on by an App requesting to use it, if you have a cellular plan and a network connection, the GPS receiver will use information that it gets over the network connection to more quickly lock onto the GPS satellites. But the GPS receiver and the cellular radios can work independently. If one buys an iOS device without the cellular radios, then he doesn't get the GPS receiver either. The confusion comes about because the GPS receiver and the cellular radios are both included in the same package. Additionally, if your iPod is low on power, you may need to wait for it to charge off of your computer's power supply for several minutes until iTunes is able to recognize it.Many iOS devices have a built in GPS receiver, and will work very well with iHikeGPS even if you do not have a cellular data plan.

Try disconnecting your iPod and reconnecting it, opening and closing iTunes, and restarting your computer before reaching out to iTunes support. iTunes is somewhat notorious for experiencing problems with new devices.

If iTunes doesn't seem to be recognizing your device automatically, don't despair.

Wait for iTunes to complete before proceeding - this may take several minutes.

You may also notice a progress bar appear at the top of your iTunes window indicating that iTunes is downloading data required to interface with your iPod. You will know this is happening if you see the trademark Apple logo appear on your iPod without prompting. Within a few moments, iTunes should recognize the iPod. When you connect your iPod, iTunes should launch automatically.
