Can't update/restore after intalling itunes 7.0 or see ipod in source list

I have a complicated issue. I just installed itunes 7.0 and my ipod won't show up in the source list (which had been a problem before with 6.0). Thinking this had to do with my Toshiba laptop, I disabled my high-speed usb port. But one of the later steps (to fix the toshiba problem) is to open the ipod updater and then restore the ipod. I can't do either of these because for some reason my updater is the 6.0 version still and gives me an error saying it's no longer supported and i have to use itunes to update (which I can't). I don't know what to do! I need help!

Hey there
I had issues trying to update my ipod (60g) after upgrading to itunes 7. Finally figured it out!!! I had to disable my Norton internet security - firewall and everything worked fine!!! It took maybe 10-15 mins to update the ipod to version 1.2 - then another 30 minutes to upload all my podcasts. I have no idea why it uploaded each one. Almost like during the update to version 1.2 - my podcasts (only the podcasts) were deleted and then reloaded again. Weird!!!
SO... hopefully you have a firewall that you can disable for about maybe 30 mins - just enough time to let the ipod update then you should be good. took me 4 friggin days to figure this one out!!!!
Hope this helps!!

IPod in source list

My iPod still appears in the source list even though it is disconnected.
Thanks,
Brian

This was an essential feature (continuing to list the ipod after ejection) especially for those that managed the contents of multiple ipods off of the same itunes account. I hope it was just an oversight and that the feature will be enabled again.
In my case, when I initially upgraded to iTunes 7 the unmounted devices were displayed only until I mounted them. After that, they would not display until they were remounted.

Keeping iPod in Source list

Hey all
I know there is an option to keep your iPod in the source list even when it is not actually connected to your Mac. However I'll be buggered if I can find it or remember where it is. Can anyone point me in the right direction because I have looked everywhere I can think of and can't find it! D'oh
Thanks in advance...

Unfortunately the "Keep This iPod in the Source List" function for the iPod shuffle that was in previous versions of iTunes isn't included in iTunes 7.
You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

Cannot add CD to Source List

ITunes 5 or 6 will not add a pre-recorded CD to the Source List. It flashes the CDDB window up for a second...then nothing. The OS labels it "Audio CD" on the desktop.
I have re-installed the OS and iTunes and blown the prefs...same result.

I have the same problem on both my iMac G5 (Home Machine) and my PowerBook G4 (Work Machine). As a classroom music teacher, we are constantly making new compilation CD's (all okay under Australian Copyright Laws) for our classes and sharing these CD's between the music staff. As I have found out, if iTunes (v. 4.9 & v.5.0) cannot obtain a match from CDDB, the Audio CD will only show up on the desktop and not in the iTunes Source List.
A work around is to disconnect from your internet source. For me, it is a normal disconnect from the internet, ensuring that there are no "connect when needed" preferences turned on. At work, I manually disconnect the ethernet cord from the back of the PowerBook. Whenever I have done this, the pre-burnt CD appears in the iTunes Source List.
If you do not want to disconnect from the internet, then you will need to go to "File -> Add to library... ->" then choose the Audio CD from the Desktop. This has worked for me also, but it does mean adding the track names and then converting to AAC or MP3.
Hope this is of some help.

I'm not seeing my Options button for keeping iPod in Source list

I've recently bought an iPod Shuffle which is working fine. However I do have one problem - in the User Guide it states that iTunes can be set to keep iPod Shuffle in the Source list when it isn't connected. I want to do just that but can't!
Guide tells you to select iPod Shufle in the Source list and click the Options button. My problem is that I don't see an Options button when I click the iPod icon!
In the guide it looks like I should see a panel of 4 buttons - an iPod icon, a what looks like an equaliser icon, then what I can only describe as a flower icon and then the eject iPod icon. But I'm not seeing it!
I'm getting very frustrated now, I've downloaded the latest iTunes software and I've looked on the help pages but nothing has helped.
Please can some kind soul tell me how I can find this Options button. Many thanks! Ruth

Ruth,

ITunes won't put Ipod in source list

The Ipod says 'Connected' when I plug it in
It's fully charged
I just loaded iTunes 9.0.2.25
There's no source list in iTunes, so no Ipod to select
Ipod does not show up on Windows Explorer
Ipod appears to be in disk mode - Settings -> About -> 3rd screen to right shows serial number
Ipod does show up in Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Disk Drives -> Apple iPod USB Device
Computer 'dings' when I plug the Ipod in, and I can 'eject' it from the eject devices safely icon on the toolbar. It shows up as Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device.
What do I need to do to get the iPod to show up in iTunes?

I like beating my head against a wall and so kept looking into this. Finally found a post on CNET, related to SP 2 - you can't have something mapped to the drive after your last hard wired drive. iTunes or the iPod has to use that drive location. I had a network directory mapped to my E: drive, right after the DVD/CD drive of my laptop at D:. I moved that network directory to the end of all my mapped network directory drives to free up E:, connected up my iPod and voila!, there's my iPod in iTunes. The iPod synced right up and came alive.
I started this Friday night - it's Sunday night now. Just like an emergency room - never have an accident on a weekend - you won't get any help other than that you can give yourself.

Photos tab is not selectable in the source list iPod nano

Dear all,
Could you please help me out? I want to import photos on my iPod nano (3rd generation). I want to do this by dragging a folder to the iPod in the sources list in iTunes, but I do not succeed.
The 'photos' tab does not appear when I collapse the 'iPod' in the source list in iTunes. What is wrong?
Thank you for your answer (in advance.)

*I want to do this by dragging a folder to the iPod in the sources list in iTunes, but I do not succeed.*
You can't add photos the same way as you add music, you have to choose the folder in the photos tab.
The 'photos' tab does not appear when I collapse the 'iPod' in the source list in iTunes. What is wrong?
The photos tab isn't in the source list, it's one of the preference tabs that appear in the main window when you click on the iPod icon in the source list.
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
On a small device like the 2GB Nano I would tend to leave the "Include Full Resolution photos" box unchecked as these will take up a lot of space on the iPod and are only useful if you want to copy photos from one computer to another. iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view.
iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view. if you want to include full size photos so you can move them from one computer to another check the "Include Full Resolution photos" box. When you want to change the photos on the iPod you simply add or remove the photos you want from your iPod Photos folder and sync the iPod.

IPod not showing up in iTunes source list

Hi,
My fifth gen iPod is not showing up in the iTunes source list. I've tried the troubleshooting recommendations (unistall and then reinstall iTunes, delete the iPod/bin file and then update iPod software, etc.) The only one I have not tried is restoring the iPod to factory settings because that would erase the entire contents and since I can't see it in iTunes I couldn't add them back in.
Does anyone know what I can do to get the iPod to show up in the iTunes source list?
Thanks

Hi. I'm not sure I'm using this discussion form correctly. Anyway, I'm on an iBook. OSX 10.2.8 and recently purchased a fifth gen ipod. connected everything just fine and have been importing some CDs to itunes and updating songs on the ipod for a couple of days. Listening to music, the whole deal.
today, was trying to eject my ipod and computer froze. Restarted my computer and everything is gone from my ipod. Started the procedure of updating the ipod to reload the songs (still in itunes library) and realized that ipod is not showing up in my itunes source list.
Did the 5 Rs. Haven't reinstalled software cause not sure how.
Any help?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First try resetting your iPod again (several times
may be needed). Connect it to your computer, and see
what happens.
If your iPod appears in "My Computer", then have you
tried out all the suggestions in this article?:
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
In your case, you'll probably need to assign your
iPod a different drive letter (because your computer
may be recognizing the iPod as a network device).
If your iPod doesn't appear in "My Computer" however,
then try the following. If it already does, then
assign it a different letter following the
instructions further below.
I'm presuming that you've read through all the
suggestions in this article below, correct?:
iPod doesn't appear in Windows or in
iTunes
Restoring may be worth it, by the way, because
restoring formats your iPod to your computer, so it
may be recognized after doing this.
Have you tried the Five R's?
The
Five R's
If there are other hardware devices that are
connected to your computer's USB ports (printers,
camera), then try disconnecting them, resetting your
iPod, and connect your iPod to your computer once
more.
Try getting your computer to recognize your iPod by
also: operating in manual disk mode:
Putting your iPod into disk mode
Assigning your iPod a different drive letter
Now, see if your iPod is recognized by Control Panel,
and try assigning it a different drive letter:
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if
you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on
the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left
panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel
windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a
few moments when it gets recognized in this drive
window), and click on "Change Drive letter and
Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like
(further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod with network device /
Changing drive letter
I hope this helps you, post back if you have issues
with performing any of these things.

Ipod disappears from itunes source list after installing update 1.0.2

i plugged in nano to install more music. itunes asked if i wanted to install update 1.0.2 on my ipod, i clicked ok, and it installed. But the ipod never restarted or reappeared in source list or windows device manager (except briefly in devices when connected screen on ipod appears - but clicking stop just produced an error message that there was nothing to stop). it just cycled on ipod screen through apple logo, main screen and connected. ipod works fine otherwise. tried resetting ipod, restarting pc, different usb (although the original works fine when recharging son's mp3), reinstalling itunes - all no go. can't restore ipod as not registering on itunes or pc. any ideas before i grapple with apple phone support?

All,
I've seen this one more times than I care to. At first, I thought I had a bogus unit. After replacing the first one, hooked up with a knowledgeable in-store associate who helped me part of the way.
Leodis' assessment of the update is correct. Apple needs to resolve the download portion of this update. It appears that the music, videos, and other content are downloaded, but the unit is left in an invalid state, causing it to cycle endlessly with the startup screen (Apple logo).
In the short term, the best advice is to NOT download the update.
If you are stuck with a unit still in this undesirable state, relax. There is hope.
First you need to disconnect your unit, and reset it. First slide the lock button back and forth (from lock to unlocked). Next press Menu and select (middle button) at same time, waiting for Apple logo to reappear (or disappear). Next press the Pause/Play button along with select button. This will take your unit to "disk mode". At this time, the screen should show a check mark and a message indicating it is ok to disconnect.
Before you reconnect the unit, it might be best to remove the iTunes software from your machine (using Add/Remove programs). I had to do this in order to get the software back to an "original" state. Basically, getting back to a point where you will be asked/prompted for updating the iPod software (of course, you will refuse this). Don't worry about your music, videos, etc. All of that library information should still be there in the original location (not the iTunes library location). You could also export the library, then re-import it later.
Now you can re-connect your unit up with your machine. Wait until it is recognized by your system.
Next go into "My computer" folder, you should see the unit there. You will want to right click the icon, and chose "format". This will re-format the internal flash hard-drive. Don't worry. It will not do anything to the ROM containing the bootstrapping software. Basically, you can't hose up this product, short of taking a hammer to it (which maybe by this point you might have contemplated that! )
After the re-format, you want to install iTunes again. Go thru the same motions as before. Bu this time, it will pop up a panel indicating that the unit is in themiddle of a restoration. That's ok. Click ok. Then, once the unit is recognized by iTunes (appears in left panel), select the unit, and go to Summary tab. On that page, you want to click on "Restore" button to restore back to factory settings.
During this restore, at some point, you will be prompted for that iPod update. Refuse it!! Don't do it. That's where we all got hosed.
After the restore is complete, your unit will be functional again.
At this point, go on your merry way and reload your media content back into the local library and then sync to your unit. This is also a good point to import your saved library info, if you exported it.
Enjoy the nano!!!
Sorry this is a long post. Unfortunately, it took a few days to figure this out. But at least it is possible to avoid the issue. I've verified these steps on both WinXP (home edition) and WinXP Pro.

My ipod nano 4th generation was set up/registered using my mac computer. Unfortunately it was plugged into a pc and all my files, (song, pics, etc) were erased. When I plugged my ipod into my mac to sync it again, it wouldn't even appear in the source list. I can't even click on it to restore it. It's simply not there. Any ideas on how I can get it to appear in my source list and sync it again using my mac? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
