6th gen nano appears on desktop but not in itunes

6th gen nano appears on desktop when I plug it in, but not in itunes.  I've never set my ipod to disk mode.  It never did this before, why all of a sudden? Having the same problem when I plug my girlfriends nano into my computer too.  Any advice?  Both my OS and iTunes are at the most up to date versions.
Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the response... that still didn't work for me but this latest iTunes update seems to have fixed the problem!

  • IPod Nano shows on desktop, but not in iTunes

    I haven't used this iPod Nano with my G5 since it was new. Today I connected it, and it shows up on the desktop, but it doesn't appear in iTunes. I unmounted it and connected it again. each time I do that, it tells me it's detected a software update, but when I check, the dialog box tells me it's current.
    any help, please?

  • IPod appears on desktop but not in iTunes

    When I connect my iPod clickwheel (via Firewire or USB) to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.7) it mounts on the desktop and I can open it as a disk volume; but iTunes (8.2) doesn't see it at all. iTunes does see my iPhone. Restarting makes no difference. Disconnecting and reconnecting also makes no difference.
    Any ideas?

    Hey there,
    Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document relating to this issue? If not, check it out. Hope it helps.

  • Pod classic 160 appears on desktop but not in iTunes

    My new iPod Classic 160 appears on my desktop but not in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes installed (and reinstalled (twice)). When I first launch iTunes I get the warning that my iPod is using (old) usb 1 port to connect to my G4 (my beloved G4). This is correct, it is, I can live with slow sync. Anyway, I want to restore my iPod but iTunes freezes (crashes) after giving me his error message:
    'The iPod "Mark Carter's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-1302).'
    Then I have to force quit iTunes,etc.
    Also, I was listening t music on iPod but then it just seemed to disappear? Can still see albums/songs/artwork etc. but won't play track just skips through them.

  • Ipod nano mounts on desktop but not in itunes

    A brand new ipod nano 4gb, ordered from the online Apple store & a christmas present to my wife, mounts on her powerbook G4 osx 10.3.9, but not in itunes 6.0.1. The latest ipod updater 05-11-17 is installed. I have restored the nano, removed iPodDriver.kext and downloaded and re-installed 10.3.9. Everything seems to work on my G5 which I used to restore the nano using ipod updater 05-11-17.
    What can I try next short of contacting Apple for a new ipod nano?
    1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 15" silver powerbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   512 MB DDR SDRAM

    OK, I restarted the powerbook with the ipod plugged into the computer. Previously I had been plugging the iPod into an active computer. And lo and behold it is now recognized by iTunes. I'm not marking the Question as answered, because it may not work next time.

  • 5th Generation Nano Mounts on Desktop But Not in iTunes on MBP.

    My iPod mounts fine on my Mac Mini but not MBP. It only mounts on Desktop. I have done the 5 - point checklist suggested by Apple but to no avail.

    Since you know it is working on your Mini, focus on the MacBook Pro. I would suggest a reinstall of iTunes to start. Make sure you are running the latest updates for whatever OS you are running as well.

  • Shuffle appears on desktop but not in itunes

    My shuffle appears on the desktop, it appears in system profile but it does not appear in itunes. I have done reset, retry, restart. I could not do reinstall or restore since both of those steps require itunes to recognize the shuffle.

    Did you try the Reset Utility?

    My computer stopped recognizing my 6th gen nano.  I have un then reinstalled itunes as I was prompted.  Still nothing.  My account is up to date and my last purchase was a few weeks ago.  Apple wants me to purchase @ 29.99 an opportunity to speak to a tech.  Hoping someone out there can offer some assistance.  Thanks.

  • IPod Mini is on the desktop, but not in iTunes

    I know a variation of this question has been asked a zillion times, but for some reason I can't seem to find the answer. Anyway, I'm a recent switcher to Mac and used my mini for years on the PC, but when I hooked up the mini to my new iMac it only shows up on the desktop, not in iTunes. However, when I plug it into the USB port it actually opens iTunes, but just doesn't show up. Anyway, I saw some other posts about running a restore via iPod Updater in the Utilities folder, however, there's no iPod updater in my utilities folder. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • IPod Classic 80GB shows on desktop but not in iTunes, so will not sync

    My work Mac has just been upgraded to 10.5.8, and with it iTunes to 10.1. Now, when I connect my iPod, it appears on the desktop but not in the iTunes panel. As such, it won't sync any new content.
    There is no problem with the cable, as the iPod charges while connected. I've tried resetting the iPod about a dozen times, which has no effect (once in a while the iPod says it is synchronizing, but this only lasts a few seconds and then disappears). Is there anything else I should try before I take the big step of formatting the iPod? I'm reluctant to do this because at the moment I at least have an iPod full of music - if I format and it still won't sync, I'll have a useless empty black box! Is it possible to go back to the previous version of iTunes which was syncing fine?
