Can't see 5gen Ipod in iTunes or Ipod Updater

Hello I have the new 60gig 5gen ipod, well a few days ago my ipod stop showing up in iTunes or Ipod Updater. I have done every thing said to do here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 except reinstall windows xp, The problem with reinstalling windows is that I do not own a copy of xp, and I dont want to buy it. Does any have any Ideas for me?

Somebody posted this info yesterday and it worked for me. I had the same problem and after 4 hours of trying to fix it, this worked. The problem seems to be with the upgrades of the IPOD software and Itunes. DO NOT UPDATE THEM.
To fix. Completely uninstall Itunes and the IPOD programs by using the add-remove in Control Panel. You will also need to go to your C: and delete any remaining folders in Program Files. Then reboot.
Now disable any antivirus software and disconnect from the internet. Take your orginal CD from your IPOD and load the IPOD software first and then the Itunes program.
This worked for me after much frustration. Good luck...

    Hello moamal,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when you connect your iPad to your Windows computer, iTunes does not recognize that it has been connected. For this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article to resolve this.

  • I can't see some podcasts from iTunes to delete them!

    I just got my "5G+" iPod yesterday. All the podcasts that were in iTunes copied over fine. However, podcasts I had copied out of iTunes (because I didn’t have an iPod for a while) and then dragged back on to the iPod don’t show up in the iPod’s Podcast menu-you have to select Podcast as a genre.
    That’s not too big of a deal, as in the future I won’t be copying anything out of iTunes prior to transferring it to my iPod.
    The REAL problem is that now iTunes can’t see those “rogue” podcasts on my iPod! They don’t show up under “Podcasts”, and they don’t show up under “Music”!
    As near as I can tell, I have no way to delete those podcasts from my iPod!
    Any suggestions?

    iMeowbot on Macrumors came up with a great way to at least SEE the 'rogue' Podcasts-create a smart playlist and set Podcast = true.
    Unfortunatly, you can't delete items from a smart playlist, so I still can't get rid of the 'rogue' podcasts.
    For now I'm planning on listening to the rest of the podcasts on my iPod, and then doing a wipe and starting over with it, as there dosen't seem to be any alternative.
    I'm pretty surprised to see a bug this major in Apple software!

  • HT1614 How come I can't see "Nike+" option in itunes when I plug in my iphone? I have it turned on in my iphone and have work out data in it.

    How come I can't see "Nike+" option in itunes when I plug in my iphone? I have it turned on in my iphone5 and have work out data in it.

    Hello Kanji0513,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    I found this bit of info about the way Nike+ works on the iPhone and iPod Touches versus the way it works with other model iPods.
    Your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS or later wirelessly sends workout data to nikeplus.com from wherever you are on the road. So right after your run, you can track your progress and analyze your performance. If you walk or run with iPod nano, workout data is sent to nikeplus.com when you connect it to your Mac or PC.
    From: http://www.apple.com/ipod/nike/sync.html
    The option in iTunes only appears if you are not using an iPod Touch or iPhone.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    Hello Sfeen,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From you post I understand that your iPhone 5 is not being recognized in iTunes on your Mac.  To resolve this issue please follow the steps below:
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.

    There are at least 3 versions:

    Zeppelin Mini.

    Zeppelin with Airplay.

    (I wouldn't regard the MM-1 as a Zeppelin but not sure if B&W call it that).
    I can't do much more to convince you!
    You could always update that wiki

    Do the tracks show up in the Recently Added playlist? If so then something has gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem. (Probably adding anything would do.)
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

  • I can't see my purchases in itunes anymore.

    I can't see my purchases in itunes anymore, the names of the tv shows that I've purchased are there in gray, but when I click on them, nothing happens. They are no longer available for download. Can someone help me figure out why?
    It happened after I deleted Safari as my browser and changed over to Firefox and also switched to the Mavericks operating system.

    Ditto, since the Mavericks update, the Purchased screen on my late-2012 iMac is just a blank white screen.  Works fine on my mind-2013 MacBook Air updated to Mavericks, but not the iMac.

  • I can't see my devices on itunes

    I can't see my devices in itunes. The device icon appears during initial plug in, then dissappears. I hate itunes it ***** up time and engery to do the simplest thing.  The device icon should always be present indicating wether or not a device is connected.

    This fix has been tested in Windows 8.1 using iTunes 11.3.0.54
    Plug in your Apple Device via the USB port on your computer
    Open Device Manager
    Navigate to Portable Devices in the list of devices listed
    Right click on your Apple Device
    Select Update Driver Software
    Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software
    In this Window navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    Once you have selected the Drivers folder ensure “Include Subfolders” is selected and click “Next”
    This should then solve your problem, the device should then reconnect to Windows and the Device should appear in iTunes.
