Ahhh, help please, can't see ipod shuffle in itunes

I've downloaded the latest itunes after i bought a 1GB 2nd gen ipod shuffle. I plug it into USB and immediately it pops up asking me whether I wish to play or open the folder (like it does when I plug in a memory stick or my mp3 player). I choose cancel and then open itunes.
I can't see any option to add the ipod in itunes though, there's no ipod setup assistant that appears when I plug it into the USB port and I can't see any option to search for it.
I can see the ipod in My computer on the I drive, so the PC recognises it. How can I get itunes to do the same?
Thanks!

Well, I actually got a bit further now (although quite by accident). I went into "My Computer" and clicked on "System Properties." Then clicked on the "Hardware" tab and "Device Manager." When the list was populated, there was my iPod! It had a yellow warning sign next to it, so I clicked on it and followed the prompts...NOW my computer recognizes it and it shows up when I log into iTunes. HOWEVER, now I am getting the "cannot sync b/c the required disk cannot be found." *sigh* I'm a little more hopeful...maybe the tech support can help me from here??

HT1451 I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore. how do i transfer musci from my library to my ipod?

I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore. how do i transfer music from the hard drive to my ipod now?

Click on the button for the iPod on the iTunes header bar, e.g.:
or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" after which iTunes 11 will look much as earlier versions did. From there the process is exactly the same.
Regards.

How can I see Ipod download on iTunes. (It syncs but I do not see the synced data)

How can I see IPOD download on iTunes after syncing. The data syncs but is not visible on computer screen

For example, when I sync the contents of my address book to the computer using itunes, shouldn't I be able to see what content was transferred to itunes? When my calendar is synced shouldn't I be able to see on iTunes the events that I added to my IPOD?

Help Please - Can't See External Hard Drive

Hi,
Apologies for the length of this post, I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give me with this problem.
I've been using an Lacie external firewire drive for ages and suddenly I can't see the icon on my desktop or access it.
I realised a few months ago I changed the name of the drive and accidently put a space at the start of the title - is this the problem? I think it's been working fine up to today.
I can see the disk in Utilities and get the following error message when I try and verify the drive:
Disk Utility stopped verifying “ Audio Drive 1 ” because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit
And:- Verifying volume “ Audio Drive 1 ”
Invalid Volume Header
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid sibling link
The volume Audio Drive 1 needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
When I try and repair, I get the following:
First Aid Failed
Disk Utility stopped repairing “ Audio Drive 1 ” because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit
And:- Verify and Repair disk “ Audio Drive 1 ”
Invalid Volume Header

Many thanks for your help,

Can anyone help me with this: I recently bought an external hard-drive (maxtor seagate 1Terrabite) to backup everything on my macbook/PC/Playstation 3, but at the time of purchase i forgot that they all use different formatting systems (FAT32,NTFS etc) how silly of me.....
is it possible to partition my External HDD in separate formats e.g: one partition as FAT32 and another as OSX, so that i can backup all my data from all my different systems, like my PS3.
if this isent possible, the only other option i could think of is to just buy another external HDD but then it all becomes to costly
if anyone has an answer please email/IM me on [email protected]

I can't see ipod 3 in itunes or mac sidebar

Since updating to the most recent iTunes software I cannot see my iPod Touch in the side bar not in iTunes but if I disconnect it incorrectly I will get the message that I have disconnected a device improperly so it must realize it's there. I have no way of copying apps over to the iPod though.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Cindy

Is the sidebar turned on?
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
Do you have Windows? Of yes are you getting the error message that says a USB device (vice iPod) removed?

Can't See Ipod Songs in Itunes??

I have just upgraded to a new ipod nano 8mgb and I'm using itunes 9.
I want to add songs to my ipod manually rather than using sync. I have managed to do this but I cant see the songs I've transferred in itunes like I have in the past. I can see them on my ipod. What am I doin wrong guys?

Hello Hibbster,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you talking about viewing your iPod's content within iTunes?
If so, click on the small black triangle next to your iPod's name in the left hand pane of iTunes. This should open up a small list underneath with Music, Videos, and such. Go ahead and click on the Music one to view the content currently on your iPod.
Does that do the trick for you?

Do the tracks show up in the Recently Added playlist? If so then something has gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem. (Probably adding anything would do.)
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

Where can I find ipod updater so iTunes 10 will see my scrollwheel 10G ipod?

Where can I find ipod updater so iTunes 10 will see my scrollwheel 10G ipod?
I used it exclusively on an old iBook. (POS from the beginning - bad motherboard, replaced, went bad just out of warranty. So I use it for only certain things.)
Now I want to load the scrollwheel ipod (also POS, bad motherboard where the headphones plug in, can't be repaired) from my iTunes 10 machine.
iTunes 10 does not see the ipod with it's 1.2.6 software. iTunes 7.5 sees it but will no longer update itself or the ipod.
- my sig: Whatever we're talking about, please don't tell me to buy a new one unless you're willing to pay for it. Thanks.

A "scrollwheel 10G" (10 GB) iPod may be 3rd gen... If it's a 3rd gen iPod, the one with a "scrollwheel" and four "touch" buttons in a row between the screen and wheel (that glow orange), it will only work properly with a FireWire connection. Although it has a dock connector, it does not charge over a USB connection. If you Mac has a FireWire 800 port, you can use an adapter to connect to the old FireWire (400) docking cable.
Mine still works perfectly (it's had a few battery replacements) with the latest iTunes and Mac OS X 10.7.4. I think it has great sound...

It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).
