Can't see ipod in itunes or my computer

HELP.Tried all recomended fixes in help forum. Background: power outage while ipod connected to PC. ipod frooze. Have reset ipod and ipod works, however when connecting to pc it is not visible in my computer or itunes. Have deleted itunes (V8) as recommended in help forum, and reloaded itunes 9. Done all the stuff and still can't see it. Have loaded itunes on my sons PC, and he can't see it either. Run diagnostics under help menu in itunes and says "ipod not connected", however it is showing charging on the ipod. Under my computer(right click)/properties/device manager, it shows "Apple ipod USB Driver" when I plug it in. It does not show up under my cumputer(left click) or in itunes. It used to work fine prior to the power failure (African curse). As I've said, I have done all recommended fixes mentioned in the Apple support pages. It seems to me that the problem is still with the ipod. When I plug it in the ipod charges and all the menues and options are available as if it weren't plugged in. It does not show connected or anything. Hope this gives a good description of what I've tried and happend. Thanks Drummer boy1960

my ipod isn't registering to my computer or itunes either, and since it is not charging it wont turn on. Can I ask what you did to fix yours?

Setting up your phone "as new iphone" is covered in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If you have data on the phone you want to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards. Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
Since changing your iTunes library will erase your phone again, do the same process when you change back to your normal PC.

Can't see ipod on itunes

Good evening,
I can't connect to the iTunes store and can't see my iPod Touch or iPhone on iTunes

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.

Can't see my ipod in itunes and my computer

I can't see my ipod in itunes and my computer. There is an error code 10
please help

My problem is almost the same, I went to plug my 60g iPod into my PC USB port, and it locked up my computer and iPod. Now my iPod is stuck on the Do not disconnect screen and hasn't even changed the time at the top, still stuck at 10:05AM. I'm getting kind of upset here. I haven't even had the thing for over a year yet and I keep it in good shape.
Any ideas on how to fix would be helpful.
Thank

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

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?

My ipod nano 7th gen is not syncing. Where can i see it in itunes

You must be using iTunes 10.7 or later for it to register that your iPod nano is plugged in.

Hi! I bought a song on itunes, and now it won't play on my computer or iPod. Itunes on my computer keeps telling me that I'm not authorized to play the song on my computer, even after reauthorizing it. Is there anything I can do to play the song?

HT1386 I have a new computer with windows 8.1. I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer. I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet! How can I do

Apparently I wasn't clear. The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives. I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists. How can I do this?

Hard drive crashed. Can I import iPod to iTunes?

Easy,
Restart your PC, then restart your iPhone/iPad. Then once your computer reboots, connect the devices using the USB cable.
Let me know!

I purchased season 6 of mad men on AppleTV, can't see it in iTunes

I purchased season 6 of mad men on AppleTV (3rd gen), can't see it in iTunes. I am signed in to Store with same ID. It is iTunes 11. I check for available downloads and it says I have none available. But that season is not in my library.

Season's Passes don't go to your available downloads anymore. Grab it there:
