How come my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer or itunes

can anyone tell me why my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer anywhere

Hi lllaass,
Do you know of any solutions to restore my ipod touch generation 1 or 2 I think.  Itunes says it cannot restore and now it won't work?  Do I have to go to an apple store or do you have any advise?
Thanks!

  • IPod Classic 80Gb, wont show up in iTunes 8, but does in Finder

    Just plugged my iPod classic 80Gb in and it wont show in iTunes 8, although it shows up in Finder
    Tried a iPod reset. restarted my Mac but no good.
    Come on man I need to do a sync....

    I have a similar problem.
    This morning, all music was gone from my iPod, just like that. I had been having troubles with playing a couple of songs last night if that's connected. Anyway, I connect it to my Macbook. I try to reset it through iTunes and that was done, I pressed eject and ejected it when it said OK to disconnect -- although when I did so it said it wasn't ejected properly. Now when I connect it appears in Finder as a device (like that thingy that appears when you install stuff, a white thing) but it doesn't in iTunes. In fact, as soon as I plug it in iTunes freezes and I can't open it or do anything in there, the marker just shows that it's loading.
    What do I do?

  • I need help my ipod touch 4g wont show up on my computer and it is stuck in recovery mode

    i need help with my ipod touch 4g its stuck on recovery mode and it wont show up on my computer its been 4 months and its still like that what can i doo to fix that email me at [email protected] or post on here

    - Try here to get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - Yu can also try another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
    - Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode. For that see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Try DFU mode:

  • How come my Ipod touch 4g wont charge !?

    My ipod touch 4g wont charge or sync to my itunes! i plug it in but nothing happens ! Help me ASAP

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    maybe
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod wont show up on "my computer" OR itunes!!!???

    the ipod doesnt actually work correctly i just asked a question about it and i was going to try to completely restore the ipod but it doesnt show up on itunes or on "my computer". here is my question i recently asked if it helps..
    i got a 30 gb ipod video from someone because they cant get it to work so i bought a charger and plugged it into the computer. it said very low battery please wait right at first and had a little circle thing that showed it was loading. now it will only show an apple sign on the screen no matter what i had it plugged in over night i tried reseting it but it just went right back to showing the apple sign is there anything else i can do or why is it doing this?

    I recently purchased a new 120 GB ipod classic to replace my original 30 GB ipod video. My computer failed to recognize my new hardware and I receive the following error message when running diagnostics in an attempt to locate the "new" 120 GB ipod.
    No external plug-ins installed.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • My ipod nano is not showing up on my computer or itunes when I plug it in.  I have reset it and restarted computer, I have also downloaded new itunes.  My other ipod shows up fine so I know its not the computer or cord.

    My ipod nano 6th generation is not showing up when I plug it into the computer.  I have reset it and restarted the computer, I also have downloaded latest itunes.  My other ipod nano shows up so I know its not the cord or computer.  It is not showing up in itunes either.

    That seems to be a clear indication of an issue with your iPod and not your PC or USB cable. Have you tried resetting the Nano with it still connected to your PC?

  • How Come my iPod Purchases no longer Show up on my Comp?

    Whenever I purchased something from the iTunes Store on my iPod Touch it would always appear on our iTunes on the computer. Now it isn't doing that. I've checked for available downloads and it says they're all on the library. Could it be because my Bluetooth is off? Is there something in the settings that needs to be enabled in order for my songs to transfer to iTunes??

  • Ipod classic 80GB wont open when the charger is disconnected - battery ?

    my ipod doesnt open if i removed it from the charger whats wrong help me out guys thanks

    What do you mean "Open"??
    If you mean that it won't turn on or show you the list, I would definatley say that the battery is shot.
    Otherwise, please explain because the iPod is normally a contained device and won't open (physically)

  • My ipod touch 4g wont show 5.1 update, even on iTunes.

    When I try to update, It shows that there is no update avaliabe. It tells me I'm on 5.0.1, and there is nothing to update to. but the update was released today.

    Sorry, no. But it may be wise to wait until the rush to download is over.... Much less frustration that way.

  • My ipod shuffle isn't showing up on my computer or itunes

    can someone please help

    I have loaded most of my music library from Windows to iTunes, but now that I want to download the music onto my iPod Shuffle, the darn thing doesn't show up in what they call the Source Pane, so there is no way for me to load my music onto the Shuffle. I think Apple has made a product that is fraught with glitches! Any suggestions on how I can download music from my music library?

    I bought my iPod about 6 months ago and until lately it has been working fine. But the other day when I placed it on the docking station noting happened. I tired using the 5R's of reset, but nothing. It's not showing up on iTunes or on my computer at all. It doesn't do anything when I plug it into my laptop at all...no lights or anything.

  • Ipod classic 80gb shows blank white screen

    I have an Ipod classic 80gb. I was having sync issues w/ itunes so I restored it using the itunes restore button. All good, it said it was updating my Ipod software and all went well. Then upon restart of the Ipod at the completion of the software update, no apple icon or anything. Just a blank white screen. The click wheel and all buttons still function as does the hold switch. I have tried resetting it (Menu and select) numerous times to no avail. I have tried restoring it and everything else with no result either. Connect it to my computer, Itunes sees it, syncs with it and all is well, just a blank white screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I also have this problem. I've been living with it for about 3-4 months. My iPod classic 60gb will happily play music, connect to computers, and do every other function is has...the problem is I can't see what functions I'm selecting because of the blank screen - the back light is on, but none of the details seems to get loaded.
    So in theory, it's like using my iPod with my eyes shut - blindly navigating.
    This started happening around the time I got a car fm transmitter to use with it, so possibly the use of this may have corrupted the display?
    I'm still at a loss of how to fix this, other than taking it to get repaired somehow. Anyone else having this problem, or have a solution?

  • Ipod Classic does not show up in iTunes and will not sync

    My ipod classic does not show up as a device in iTunes. It was working just a week or so ago, but each time I plug it in the screen says connected, then switches to Ejected, you can now disconnect, then says OK to disconnect and then goes to the home screen. Can someone advise me on what is going on and what I need to do to fix it! Thanks!!!
