My ipod does not show in itunes

Hello - Please help me if you can, my ipod does not show in itunes nor can i update my ipod. Please don't suggest that I update my itunes because i had aloooooooot of trouble with the new itunes 6.0 or greater (something is wrong with that update)and i just lucked into installing the older version which was given with my ipod. My music is there but I can't get my songs - is there any way I can get my songs to go to my ipod with this problem? Thanks for any assistance.

Windows Does Not Recognize iPod
Also, a new version of iTunes was recently released. You may want to try that, but it is up to you.

After removing the iPod from iMac and also from the connecting "holder", turning it on ad off, rebooting the iMac, maggic happens and the iPod now shows in iTunes and everything works just fine.

If your iPod is being recognised by Windows you could try this manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted here: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. Again if Windows is recognising the iPod these may too.

IPod does not show in iTunes. Diagnostics states "No iPod found"

Version of ITunes ITunes 7.5.0.20
IPod version 5th Generation iPod (80GB)
Version of Windows: Vista Home Premium
I was bought a 5G iPod yesterday as a present. I connected it up and everything went swimmingly. It synchronised and downloaded the entire contents of my iTunes library (at the time just 15GB or so of music taken from CD's). Today I have downloaded a few podcasts etc (Just 185MB). I connected my iPod and it says connecting on the iPod follwed by synchronising then connected again, but the iPod will not show up in the left hand panel of iTunes. It shows as drive P: in my computer, but properties show it as having no data. Help Diagnostics show "No iPod found". I disconnected the iPod properly when I disconnected yesterday so that shouldn't have caused a problem. I've gone in and unistalled/reinstalled iTunes, I've unistalled/resintalled the iPod driver, nothing seems to work. What next please clever people out there? Very frustrated and narked off!

Ipod does not show on itunes and does not restored when it asked to

I'm helping a friend.
Her ipod nano 4gb is not showing either on My Computer or the iTunes.
Yesterday the ipod can be detected and I did found out that the backlight of her ipod was not functioning. Going through the Ipod Settings is not resolving. But this is not the case.
I have managed to charge like one hour and fix some songs inside and even put a video inside.
Unplugged it and smoothly functioning iPod except for the non-functioning backlight.
Today however, the ipod refuses to turn on.
I plugged it to iTunes and it detects again as Ipod DFU Recovery bla-bla bubble and on the iTunes dialog boxes mentioning that the iPod needs to recovery. But it failed. It says waiting, preparing to recovery and failed. It does this over and over but nothing happens.
I tried pressing the Menu and The Center simultaneously while iTunes preparing for recovery. It showed a window saying that "an iPod has been detected, but could not be identified properly. Bla-bla. An unknown error occurred (2005)"
No info on Apple website about error code 2005.
Can anyone help how to tackle this problem?
fyi,
My machine running XP Pro sp2
iTunes 8.1.1.10
I own a iPod 3rd gen Click wheel (over FW) and an iPhone 2G (over USB) which all of it sync smoothly.

Try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Itunes freezes when connecting and ipod does not show up

When I connect my nano 3rd gen in windows vista using itunes 9 my ipod does not show up and itunes freezes. the ipod remains with the connected screen and I cannot close out of itunes. Any help would be wonderful... Thanks!!

I have (finally)solved the problem with my iTunes freezing! Here's what I did:
1.I backed up my entire music library to an external hard drive.
2.Then I completely uninstalled iTunes 9 from my computer.
3.After a re-boot I then completely deleted my entire music library. (this can be a little scary so I double checked my music library back up on the external drive)
4.I Googled iTunes 8 and found it at
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/
5. I downloaded it but before I installed it I copied my music library back to my computer. I did not copy everything that was in my original iTunes music folder however, I only copied the music,album art work, applications,games,Tv shoes, and podcasts folders. I placed those folders in a new folder called iTunes on my computer. I did not include any of the iTunes database files eg: .itl / .xml / or .itdb files as these were created in iTunes 9.
6. Now I opened iTunes 8.2 and added all of my music and other media content.
7. Next I attached my iPod nano to my computer. Then Windows automaticly open a window asking me if I wanted to scan for problems or continue without scanning. I had windows scan for problems and once that was done my iPod nano began to sync. Oh what joy!
I think, and this is only a guess based on what I've read here on Apple's discussion pages and my own experience, that there is a problem/conflict or bug with iTunes 9, Windows Vista and the 3rd -4th generation iPod. I will NOT be upgrading to iTunes 9 until Apple has addressed this issue. It seems to me that there are a lot of people having similar issues.

My classical iPod does not shows in my itunes

iIt does not show in itunes so I cant reset it

You dont need iTunes to Reset your iPod, just do the following.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
However, if you mean Restoring your iPod, it is another matter, which you need iTunes and some troubleshooting to find out why you cant connect to iTunes.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

My iPod Touch does not show on itunes

When I plug in my iTouch to the computer and open iTunes, the device does not show on iTunes. I tried restarting the computer and reconnect the usb drive, but it still does not show. The device is recognized on My Computer so I think something is wrong with iTunes.

Ipad 2 does not show in itunes

My ipad 2 was completely dead last night so I plugged it in to charge using the 10W wall charger that came with it and noticed that it did not vibrate when I plugged it in nor did it show the lightning bolt showing it was charging. I left it alone from a few hours and when I checked, it was up to 12%. Normally a few hours will almost fully charge it. I swapped out a few different cables, chargers, and even plugged it into my mac USB, and none of them vibrated and showed the lightning bolt. When I plug it into my Mac, it does not show in iTunes at all under devices. I plugged in my iPhone and iPod and both showed instantly. I decided to leave the paid charge overnight on the wall charger to see what would happen.
This morning it was up to 53%. I updated the iPad 2 software to iOS 5.1.1, updated iTunes to 10.6.1, updated all software on my Mac (I have OS X 10.6.8) and still doesnt show in iTunes and none of the chargers or cables make it vibrate when plugged in and none show the charging bolt. I deleted iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device driver and then reinstalled thinking perhaps the mobile device driver was messed up - didnt help.
On the iPad 2, I went to settings/general/reset/reset network settings - no help.
Of course, throughout this I have reset my Mac several times, reset the iPad both by sliding the bar to shut down and by holding down the reset button & home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears, and as stated above tried several wall chargers and USB cables that works on my other i products. So I do not think its something obvious like that.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
Mac OS X 10.6.8
ITunes 10.6.1

Let me know when you figure this out. I am experiencing the exact same situation. Just started this morning after I switched my mobileme account to icloud. I can see my iphone in itunes, but when I plug my ipad in, nothing. Not on any computer. I have always been able to sync and charge with no trouble. Now my ipad is slowly turning in to a door stop.
Help!
Thank you!
