    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.

  • My iPod touch won't show up in iTunes, but charges and shows up on different computers.

    My iPod touch 5th gen last was synced with my iMac a couple weeks ago. Now when I plug it into iTunes, it won't show up. It's done this before and I've fixed it by updating iTunes, restarting the iPod/computer etc, but it seems I've tried everything. I've connected it to different USB ports, and it charges in all of them but doesn't show up. When I plug it in, Dropbox recognizes it and can get the pictures off, but iTunes won't work. I tried connecting the iPod to a different computer, and it showed up in iTunes just fine. I have the latest version of iTunes. I didn't restore my iPod from the other computer because if I can't get it to re-sync with this computer I'd rather not lose all my data. It seems I need to reinstall iTunes, but I don't know how- will it delete all my music that I already have on there?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
    Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
    Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
    The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.

  • I have a gen3 iPod touch.  It shows the battery charging when I plug into my PC, but will not show as an extra drive in "my computer" and won't show up in iTunes either.  Can anyone help please?  I have exhausted all "help" options.

    I am trying to get my iPod touch (3rd gen), to show up in "My Computer" and in iTunes.  I am using a usb cable and it is connecting okay, because the battery is charging.  It won't show up as an external drive on my computer, and nothing in iTunes either.  I have used the exact same usb cable and plugged into the exact same usb port with a different iPod touch without having this problem.  I have swapped them back and forth and it seems to be a problem with this particular iPod, because the other shows up just fine.  I have already downloaded and installed the latest iTunes update, and I already restarted the computer afterwards.  The other iPod is a 4th gen touch, but that really shouldn't matter.  I would greatly appreciate anyone's help on this matter.  I know that I can't be the first person that this has happened to.  Thanks.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • Help!! 17+ rated apps won't show up on my Ipod Touch

    Help!!  None of the 17+ rated apps I downloaded from the app store will show up on my Ipod touch after I synch it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also it won't let me dowload these apps from the app store on my ipod. Thanks
    Found the problem. I couldn't find the parental controles so I thought it was some other problem. Thenks everyone

    You probably have restrictions set.

  • My 2nd Gen iPod Touch won't show up in iTunes but does appear in My Computer

    When I connect my 2nd Generation iPod touch to my laptop it will not appear in iTunes. It does, however, appear in my Computer.
    I have worked through all of the troubleshooting guides on the Apple Support section, and have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice.
    This message appears every time I plug my iPod in, and frequently whilst it is still plugged in charging:
    'MobileMe Service has stopped working.' This is a pop-up window produced by Windows, I know this is the 'service' that picks up an iPod's prescence but stopping and restarting the service does nothing. My iPod still won't show up.
    Please help, I am willing to faff around a bit. Might it be a problem with Windows itself? If so, how would I go about fixing it?
    Thanks in advance,
    P.S I have the latest version of iTunes, and the operating system of my iPod is 4.2.1.
    My version of Windows Vista is 32-bit.

    I have the same problem with my 2nd gen itouch.
    I've tried other computer and my childrens iPods work on my computer so not a windows problem.  I've tried reinstalling iTunes and resetting itouch as per apple support pages but nothing, it doesn't even show on my computer. Any help greatly appreciated :-)

  • Ipod touch won't show up in Itunes

    I have an Ipod Touch and it shows up as internal storage in Windows 8.1 on HP laptop, but won't show up in Itunes no matter what. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, deleting the contents of the temp folder, changing USB ports, and changing user accounts in Windows and it still won't show up in Itunes. However, it will show up in Itunes on a different computer with Windows 7.

  • New ipod touch won't connect, shows itunes and usb icons

    My son just got a new ipod touch for his birthday. I have the latest version of itunes, and I have spent hours scouring the internet looking for a solution. Whether the thing is plugged into the computer or not, all it will do is show the usb cable icon and the itunes icon. When I plug it into the computer, my computer makes the noise that indicates that a device has plugged in, the ipod beeps one beep, and I get an error message from itunes that says that a rented movie from the ipod cannot be imported into itunes. Other than that, the computer, including itunes, doesn't acknowledge the existence of the ipod, not in the device manager, in itunes, in the itunes diagnostics tests, or anywhere else. In addition, the battery won't charge.
    Also, I noticed that I do not have anything called "Apple Mobile Device Service," although I do have something called "Bonjour service." Are these the same thing or could this be the problem. Please HELP!

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
