30 GB video iPod doesn't show up on my new Dual Core G5...help!

Hello
I'm trying to connect my 30GB video iPod to my new Dual Core 2.0 GHz G5, but nothing comes up on the desktop or iTunes. The icon on the iPod just shows the charging symbol...
this G5 is NOT connected to the Internet, however I just updated the iPod software on another computer...I tried bringing over the latest iPod Updater from the other computer, but this doesn't work either...
Is there anything I can do to get this to work?!
Thank you
chris

Chris,
Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to your computer...

IPod doesn't show up in iTunes, windows recognises it, pls help......

Hi,i changed my OS from Win Xp Home To WinXp Professional. My computer started out afresh & i didn't take any backup(i installed on the same partition, i.e. removing the old home edition.). my ipod worked fine b4. i reinstalled the ipod setup & itunes. now when i connect my iPod, windows makes its familiar ting-tong noise on detecting it thru the usb, the ipod shows "Do no disconnect", it appears as a UsB mass storage device called ipod & iTunes also starts up, however it doesn't appear in iTunes. It also doesn't appear in the prefernces menu of itunes under the ipod tab, it says "no ipod connected'. As a result of this, i can't update my iPod with new music.
i have tried re-installing itunes & iPod which didn't help the matter.
Pls Help me out as i want to listen to new music.
Pleaseeeeeeeee.

Have you tried rebooting the device with it still connected to your PC? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

IPod Doesn't Show Up in iTunes or My Computer, But Says It's Connected

I'm running Windows Vista (something I highly regret ever getting), and I was given a new iPod by a friend, and since it was a different iPod than I used before, Vista kept popping a window up when I connected it asking if I wanted to download a driver. It had three options, I think, to browse for the driver, look later, or never ask again. Normally I would click the first two, and the iPod would show up in iTunes still (and the iPod doesn't even need a driver). The last time, I accidentally clicked for it to not ask again, and now the iPod doesn't show up in either My Computer or iTunes.
I really, REALLY hate this computer. Vista has caused nothing but problems, I tell ya. It's always one thing after another.

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

Ipod doesn't show in itunes, vista installed, also, thinks it's syncing...

I really don't know what to put for a subject! Itunes and my ipod shuffle ran perfectly under Windows XP. I have a LOT of music successfully loaded (from itunes purchases and my own cds) on the 'pod. It plays fine. Problem is, computer bit the dust. I decided to upgrade to Vista instead of reloading XP (couldn't find the **** CDs to reinstall XP). Now, my ipod doesn't show up in itunes and I get that **** "ipod is synced with another library.. do you want to erase this ipod and sync with "this" itunes lib." box. "This" itunes library consists only of songs I've purchased from itunes.... none of the cd music is there. and the only option that itunes seems to be giving me is to blow away what's on my 'pod now and install the tiny library of itunes purchases. The wierd thing is, it's all on the same **** computer... just the OS changed (from XP to Vista).
What I WAMT to do is somehow get itunes to see my 'pod and copy the music that's on my pod back into itunes where it all came from in the first place and put my latest itunes purchases (since changing OS's) on my 'pod. Jeeze. sounds so simple. Unbelieveable.

TIA for any help.

In iTunes, go to the File Menu and select the 'Add to Library' option.
In the window that appears navigate to the folder that has all the music from the old version of iTunes (i.e. where the music is currently stored on your computer), and select the folder.
This should then add all the music back into your iTunes (it may make a copy)
You will now be able to connect your iPod and let it sync to the computer.

WiFi ON/OFF button Doen't Work, the IPod doesn't show the on/off button in the Settings- General - WiFi

After My IPod Touch 4th Geneartion was broken I had to fix the screen, which cost me a lot, after a perfect restore through the ITunes I went to connect to my IPod to the WiFi network then the WiFi ON/OFF button Doen't Work, the IPod doesn't show the on/off button in the Settings-> General -> WiFi.
And another problem I encountered during this operation was that the Games I downloaded through the ITunes doesn't work, when I click on the icon ( Game Icon) it starts an then closes in a few seconds

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

or could someone teach me to open a ipod photo on. i want to check inside is it find?

Try resetting it. If that doesn't help, try restoring it.
There are no user serviceable parts inside an iPod, and opening it will void the warranty.

Ipod doesn't show up after snow leopard update

since i made the snow leopard update my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes, in iPhoto it still works... any ideas to solve my problems?

First, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update...
If the system is up to date, try reinstalling the AMDS...

And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before connecting the iPod to your Mac.

Ipod doesn't show all the songs listed in Itunes even after sync is complete

I'm going through the same thing, I've tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer and that seems to help. I haven't gotten all my songs back yet, but I've got about 75% of it back.

IPod doesn't show Album Artwork

There are several albums in my iTunes that have the artwork in iTunes, but the artwork doesn't show up on my new nano. I read on the apple website the following instructions on how to display album artwork, however when I get to STEP 2, the only option on the music tab for my iPod is "sync music". There is no "display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox. I have a 5th generation nano and there are some album artworks that DO show up on my nano...I just can't figure out how to get the rest of them...
For iTunes 7 or later
1. Select your iPod under the Devices section in the iTunes Source pane.
2. Select the Music tab of the iPod settings. The iPod settings are displayed to the right in the main iTunes window.
3. Select the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
4. Click Apply to save the changes. The iPod begins to update as soon as Apply is clicked.

can anyone help me??

Many users have solved the problem by syncing several times; and if that doesn't work, perform a simple restore. Your titles will come back.

Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

Ask your carrier. No one here works for Apple, represents Apple or Speaks for Apple, thus no one here can answer your question.

The iphone and ipad must be connected to the same icloud account. Are you by chance using different IDs to connect from each device?
