Can't see either of my ipods

I was in the middle of updating one of my ipods in itunes, when I put in a new CD. I guess you shouldn't go this as it caused itunes to freeze up in the middle of my update and I was forced to do a "Force Quit" to close itunes and free things up. Well, now I cannot get my computer to recognize either my ipod or my ipod mini. When I plug it in, it just sits there frozen. It frees up instantly after I unplug it. I can't get ipod updater or itunes or disk utility to recognize it when it is plugged in. Since it is the same scenario for both ipods, I know it isn't a problem with the ipod but instead something on my computer is out of sorts. Any solutions?

No, I only have one firewire/USB cable to try. The cable has been working just fine though. I think it must be a 'software' issue as it seems too much of a coincidence that I am having troubles immediately after the 'force quit'. I doubt that would have harmed the cable.

  • AirPort Utility can't see either AEBS or AirPort Express using either comp.

    I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and an AirPort Express (APE). The dsl connects to the AEBS via ethernet (in the first slot), and the AEBS connects to the desktop via ethernet (in the second slot; it has no AirPort card). The PowerBook (PB) connects to the network via its AirPort card, and the APE is used to extend the network range.
    All of this worked as of last night.
    This morning when I woke the PB, it wouldn't connect to the network automatically. I tried to connect manually, but it wouldn't accept the password. (Maybe I'd forgotten, when's the last time I had to enter it?) I went to the desktop to set up the AEBS to reset the password. Both the AEBS and AirPort Express showed up on AirPort Utility (AU) on the desktop before doing so.
    After resetting the password, neither showed up in AU. (I suppose it's not surprising that the APE wouldn't, but the AEBS is connected via ethernet, and the ethernet is working or I couldn't connect here as set up.) I get the message that AU can't detect any Apple wireless devices. I rescanned several times with no luck. And I have pressed the reset button on the AEBS to no avail.
    I also can't see either the AEBS or the APE with the PB, which does have an AirPort card, as I mentioned.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Theirry, I had (among all the other things I'd done) already pushed the reset button for a little while, but that didn't work. So, not knowing what else to do, I pushed it and held it while I counted to ten three times, and that worked. Probably one could get away with less.
    After that, I had to start over again with the AEBS on AU, but I gave it the same network name and the password I thought I remembered, and the APE rejoined it automatically.
    I hope that helps.

    You can try using the 'official' Facebook app or Friendly For Facebook - not sure whether they work with videos.

  • Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

    Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
    -Andrew

    Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
    It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.

  • Can't see Video titles in ipod

    Hello,
    I put some home videos on new ipod. I named them, but when i use the ipod the videos play, but i can't see the titles. How do I need to name the files?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, only TV Shows bought directly from the iTunes Music Store will show up as TV Shows on your iPod (by default). You'll have to leave your videos labeled as Movies, if you want them to show up on your iPod. Sorry.

  • People can still see the content on iPod even it is encrypted.

    I don't know why even I set the password for my iPod, in the Locked Screen, before typing the password, I can still see the songs and play it on my iPod. It's not safe. Imagine if someone took the device and they can immediately see the songs that I listen to without typing the password. What can I do to keep the songs safe from people's eyes.

    I know I shouldn't ask but I just can't help myself... Why does it matter if other people know what songs you listen to?

  • I can´t see videos in my iPod

    What EXACTLY happens when you try to play a video on your iPod? Do you hear it but only see an icon on the screen? If so, go to (from the iPod main menu) Video -> Video Settings -> TV Out ... and turn that option to OFF (or ASK).

  • Can't see songs on my iPod when in iTunes!

    I have recently installed the new version of iTunes. Now, when I click on my iPod, it gives me the Summary, Music, Podcasts, and Contacts tabs. I can't find a listing of the songs that are on my iPod in any of these tabs. With the older version of iTunes I was able to see what tracks were on my iPod and edit them from there. It seems that now I can only sync my iPod or add tracks. I'd like the option to view, edit and delete them. I know there's probably a simple solution. Anyone know what it is?

    Click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view.

  • Changing computers, can't "see" my files on IPod menu, but I can in windows

    I changed computers, and followed the directions, essentially: used my ipod as a disk to move files from old laptop to new laptop. Did all the steps of consolidating files etc. OK, no problem. Then I can see all the music on Itunes on new laptop. Restore and reset IPod and then synchronized. Files load to the IPod (I can see on the IPod when I view outside of ITunes (i.e. windows explore). But, when I try to play or view any files going through the IPod menus, there isn't anything there, nothing in music, podcasts, videos, nothing. If I plug the IPod into the old laptop, restore, and synch, everything is fine. I've tried this about 4 times and cannot get this to work. What am I doing wrong?

    Copied media files to a HPFS+ (journaled) SimpleTech USB drive connected to my iMac. Files copied fine and can be accessed from the iMac with no problems.
    I connect it to the TC, the drive can be seen and mounted over the network but the files do not show up. The free space corresponds to the free space left by the files I had copied--but again the files do not show up.
    TC file sharing is on and is working fine as demonstrated by access to the internal drive without problem. And the USB drive shows up in the airport utility without error indication. Files copied over the network to the USB drive are accessible as expected (read/write/delete--no problem).
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Can't see *all* songs in iPod

    I just transferred several songs from my iTunes library to my iPod. And when my iPod is connected to iTunes, all of those songs appear at Devices > my iPod > Music. HOWEVER, when using my iPod, not all songs are visible.
    Can anyone help?

    Hello Anthony,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Where are you searching for these songs at? From under the Songs list on your iPod or elsewhere? Have you doubled check to make sure they are not marked as "Part of a compilation" from under the Info tab of its *Get Info* window in iTunes?
    You aren't getting any error messages while syncing are you? Have you tried removing all your music from the iPod and starting from scratch to see if that does any good?

  • On Win7 computer, how can I see all files on iPod touch?

    I have an iPod touch 4.3.5 (8L1), model MC540C. When it's plugged into my Windows 7 computer, I want to be able to see all the files (not just the photos). What must i do to see all the files?
    My ultimate purpose is to copy one file: the voice recording I created in the Voice Memos application. (The audio file is too big to be sent via email.)

    Illass,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Though PhoneView is Mac only, Touch Copy has a Mac version and Windows version.
