5th gen iPod won't show iTunes U

using an iTune 10 (latest update), and synching with the 5th gen iPod. The synch goes well and when connected to the iTunes i can see the iTunes U on the list but when I disconnect and I can't find iTunes U on the iPod lists and menus... I read in a related post (about 5th gen iPod nano) a reply asking if the guy had set the files to have the 'iTunes U' mediatype. What does it mean and how do I do that?

Have you set the files to have the 'iTunes U' mediatype?

My 32GB 5th gen iPod won't sync

My 32GB 5th gen iPod won't sync. There is still over 10 GB free and my itunes is only 17 GB yet it won't let me sync anything. Can anyone help?

My ipod 32gb 5th gen will not sync to itunes or any mac computer. An error message appears saying that my ipod touch requires itunes ver10.7. Does anyone know how to get this on my ipod touch 5? I cannot find it, does it need to be installed onto my ipod from a computer?

5th generation IPOD won't show PHOTOS tab

Hi. I hope someone can help. I can't get the Photo tab to display when I connect my video IPOD. I know it works because I am able to add my photos using automatic sync. I've tried on 2 different pc's to no avail. I have also removed and reinstalled Itunes and restored my IPOD. I have searched forums for several days and can't find an answer.
Has anyone heard of this problem?
Thanks for your time.

okay. while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the itunes sourcelist, and the ipod is selected, you should be seeing a "Summary" tab in your main library window. the photos tab is about the fourth or fifth tab in that display.
here's a link to a screenshot of where i see attractive beast's Photos tab showing up. (since you've got a 5th gen ipod you should also be seeing a "Videos" tab in there.)

5th Gen Ipod does not show photo tab under preferences

I am trying to get pics onto my Ipod. The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date? Is anyone having this problems?
5th gen ipod Windows XP Itunes 7

The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date?
can you check something for me? what icon is showing up in the itunes sourcelist? is it a wee picture of your 5th G, or does it look quite different?
what version of the firmware is being cited in the "summary" tab you see when you select the ipod in the sourcelist? is that the same version that you see in the "About" screen on your ipod?
Where's the iPod About screen, and what's in it?

My 5th gen Ipod won't do anything but show the " Connect to your computer, use itunes to restore" screen. However my computer nor anyone else's will recognize my ipod. What can I do?

My ipod will not do anything but show a screen that asks to "connect ipod to computer, use itunes to restore" My computer however will not recognize my ipod at all so there is no way to restore my ipod. I am not skilled in computers but if anyone has a step by step that would be great.

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

5th gen iPod won't sync with iTunes

I have recently upgraded my iTunes to version 8. Now my iPod won't mount. I get the following error when I plug in the iPod: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I've restored at least 6 times and nothing. I have also downgraded to the previous version of iTunes and it still won't work. Please help me. Right now I have a 30Gb lump of coal sitting in my desk. (The restore obviously removed all my music for it.)

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

2nd gen ipod won't show in itunes after 7.3.1.3 update - win xp

hi.
home built xp pro Sp 2 machine - NO USB 2.0 ports. 1 gig ram
iPod Nano 4 gig, been working fine since september.
iTunes decides to update to 7.3.1.3 last night overnight.
It updates but I forgot to reset in the morning.
plugged in the ipod to charge/sync. itunes didn't come up.
realized I had to reboot after the update. did that.
itunes came up and updated my saved music library on the pc. (89 gig, btw) This took several hours.
plugged ipod back in. iTunes didn't see it. This was on a hub. tried it on a port on the motherboard. iTunes saw it & started to sync. Great! Then after about 3 minutes of syncing I got an error saying that "this device cannot be synced, the folder could not be found."
WHAT FOLDER IS IT TALKING ABOUT?!?!
Since then, I cannot get iTunes to see my iPod, The iPod registers that the device is connected and charges but windows says the device has failed to install & device manager tells me "Unknown device" (yes I did have it configured for disk use.) and iTunes will not bring up the device to sync.
I've tried resetting & reconnecting.
I'm leery of re-installing because I do not want to have to re-load & re-register 89 gig of music in my iTunes library.
Since when has a USB 2.0 port become required for functioning?

Well you tried 'everything', that I thought of, I would think that Antivirus is the main culprit or that install a Windows Plugin that emulates Mac OS X.
Anyway here is a helpful link from CHG, http://cahwyguy.livejournal.com/1220479.html
Read the 4th Paragraph on disk diagnostic, it may tell you that your hardisk is dying and need to be replaced.
Good Luck!

5th gen ipod won't connect to usb 3, is there a fix?

I have an ipod video (5th gen), and it won't connect to my new asus laptop since it only has usb 3 ports (I don't care if it will charge or not, I have a dock), my question is whether it could potentially connect to my computer so I could sync it if I use a usb 2 hub or something similar. My ipod recently formatted itself when it forced a reset, so I have to get my music all back. Anyone know a fix to it? Thanks for any help you guys can give me, really driving me crazy not having music to listen to when I'm out...

You did install the latest version of iTunes on your new computer, correct? Installing iTunes is how the software needed for iPods to be recognized as iPod gets installed. Otherwise, Windows sees it as a generic device.
https://www.apple.com/itunes/
If the iPod is recognized by Windows, but not iTunes, you should go through this trouble-shooting document.

FYI - My 3rd gen iPod from 2003 works fine with the latest iTunes; there's no such thing as an iPod that is too old.

5th gen iPod freezes when play iTunes video, then sad icon, then normal

I tried to watch some Tv shows I downloaded from iTunes and sometimes it would play. Then the next time I select the video it freezes to a black screen. Sometimes I can press "menu" and return it the the main screen. But if I select the video again, it freezes completely on the black screen. I do a "reset" and then I get the sad face icon. I plug it into the computer and it says it is corrupted. If I leave it alone plugged into the computer, it tries to start itself about every 15 mins and the sad face icon appears. If I wait awhile more, it will restart itself, connect to iTunes,and be back to normal. As long as I don't play a video. I don't see any posts with a similar issue. Anyone have a clue?
5th Generation iPod

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Right click the video in iTunes and go to convert selection for iPod. Does it convert again (through iTunes)?
If so, update the iPod and see if it works.
If not, try these...

5th Gen iPods won't sync

my 60 & 80 gig iPods won't sync to iTunes. When I connect them, they appear in iTunes, but I cannot add or delete music and several of the playlists don't show up on the iPod. My newer 120 gig iPods work fine. This started on 8-8-10. I am running the current version of iTunes.

I've been having the same problem ever since I upgraded to iTunes 9. Before the update I never had any issues syncing new songs or playlists. I have purchased several new albums and haven't been able to get them synced to my iPod. When I plug in my iPod I get the syncing message and the "Do Not Disconnect" message shows up on my iPod for about 30 seconds to a minute, but when it finishes nothing has been added and the storage amounts haven't changed.

5th Gen ipod won't sync a video podcast

I have a 80GB iPod, only a month and a half old, 5th Gen.
Thing is, I downloaded 5 video podcasts today, all from the same author.
One of these podcasts WILL sync onto my iPod, however the other four won't, saying that the video format isn't supported, when all five videos have the same format and type.
I have tried everything from renaming them to converting them and still nothing works.
Can anyone please help? :]

I am having the same problem. The difference is that mine was syncing and then suddenly it won't sync anymore. Hope someone answers your question.

5th Gen iPod won't sync using new iTunes and new Firmware

I updated the iTunes software and firmware for my iPod, and I was excited about how cool it looked. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It synchronized once. Since then, it hasn't worked. iTunes just freezes up and the "Do Not Disconnect Screen" never goes away. It will just sit there for hours doing nothing and telling me that it is updating, when it fact it is doing nothing. I have even gone through all of the steps of reseting, re-installing, and reformatting it. It still won't sync, but now I have the pleasure of having a 6-month old 60 gig blank hard drive. Has anyone else experienced syncing problems? Any ideas on how I can get this to work again?

I am having the same problem. The difference is that mine was syncing and then suddenly it won't sync anymore. Hope someone answers your question.
