My ipod will not turn on and will not show up on my itunes

I've never had any issues with my iPod touch before and used it frequently. I quit using it for a couple of months and it wouldn't turn on. I left it plugged in for almost a whole day, and nothing changed. I tried resetting the iPod but hitting the home and power button until the apple logo appeared, and still nothing. I tried plugging my iPod into my Mac to restore it on itunes, and itunes will not even recognize the device. Please help!

See Here...
Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

  • The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer

    The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

    Then you're doing something wrong.  Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
    Did you check the purchase history?

  • My ipod is not showing up on my itunes and is on a screen saying connect to itunes because i just reset it.

    I had reset all my settings and erased my data on my ipod touch, well then a screen popped up saying to connect to itunes, i did so and my ipod will not show up on itunes, help please and the screen will not go away saying connect to itunes either

    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 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My IPod is not showing up in my Itunes, I tried my phone as well and it is not coming up either.  I have tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling.  It worked the other day but it is not working now.  Please somebody help me!!! What to do?

    Hello,
    Can someone please help me!?  I am trying to put music on my IPod and it was working the other day.  I can not get itunes to recognize my Ipod.  I have tried to unistall and reinstall Itunes.  I have tried all the steps on the site and can't get it to come up.  I tried my IPhone which was also showing up just the other day and it also is not showing in Itunes!   Please help me.  I need to be able to put music on my IPod for my work. 

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • IPod does not show in Finder or iTunes

    My 2nd generation Nano won't connect to my Mac. The screen alternates between a screen with a dimmed-out Apple logo, a screen with a message saying to restore using iTunes, and a screen showing a the small charged battery icon and a message saying do not disconnect.
    Of course I can't restore it using iTunes, because the computer isn't recognizing the iPod, and not disconnecting seems irrelevant, since it's not connected in the first place. (I've nevertheless left it plugged into the computer for about 3 hours in hopes it might resolve itself, but it doesn't look like it's going to.)
    The 3 screens alternate at about 1 second intervals. I've tried resetting the iPod and I've tried connecting with a different computer. When I try to reset with the iPod not connected to a Mac, the screen just goes to black. Then if I try reconnecting the USB, I just get the three alternating screens again. (I have the latest version of iTunes, and the iPod software is up-to-date as well. I'm using Snow Leopard on my iMac and Leopard on my laptop.) I've tried restarting the computer. In fact, I'm out of ideas, so I'd be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions.

    Hi CorCakalaka,
    Just to let you know, you're not on your own. My 30GB 5th gen iPod is doing the same, but I'm running on Windows XP. Tried everything in the support pages and nothing worked. Tried on my Nano and no problems. Hopefully someone who has had this problem and sorted it will get in touch (fingers crossed)

  • Ipod nano not showing in windows or iTunes

    I've just purchased a new 7th. gen Nano. I have a windows 7  laptop with iTunes 11.1.5.5 that is working fine with an ipod clasic.
    When I plug the nano in it doesn't show up in itunes or windows file manager. The only place I can see it is under Device Manager where it appears under other devices with no driver installed. If I try to install a driver it fails saying "Windows found a driver software for your device but encountered an error attempting to install it, USB MAss Storage Device.Access is Denied'
    Any ideas anyone please????

  • 40GB Orignal IPod suddenly not showing in Windows or iTunes on Toshiba

    I recently had to reinstall my Windows XP operating system on my Toshiba laptop and when I tried to sync my 1st or 2nd generation 40GB iPod in the USB port, my computer no longer acknowledges the iPod. The Apple website solution for Toshiba laptop problems does not resolve my problem. I have the most recent iTunes software on my computer and my iPod plays and operates fine. Does anyone have a solution and/or could provide some insight to why this is all of the sudden happening?

    okay, let's check to see if it's one of the non-Toshiba-specific suspects in cases like this.
    while the ipod is plugged in, check to see if it is showing up in "My Computer".
    if it isn't showing up, let's try:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
    if it is showing up, let's try:
    iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
