but on my ipod i get
the conected screen and it also charges

I may be wrong, but I believe in order to play music from your iPod through your computer, you must set it to manually updating.
Go to preferences (not sure what it is in windows, i think tools>>preferences).
Click on the iPod tab (the iPod must be connected)
Choose "manually update"
Click ok.

I have entered my password but it is saying not recognised and now I cannot access my ipod! Help please

I turned my Ipod touch on and it asked me for my password which I entered but it is saying it is the wrong password - I always use the same. I now cannot access my ipod. Not sure what to do??

I'm sorry but the only way to enter your iPod again Is to restore it to factory settings. go to iTunes and click on your iPod then click the Restore button. This will restore your iPod to factory settings. So back up your Music, Videos, and purchases before restoring. This will work trust me

I cannot access my ipod there is a gray screen

Kae,
Have you tried any of the 5 R's yet? If not, see this link.

Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced.

Connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery mode if necessary to allow the restore.

No, you will have to replace the switch or do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store.

TS1393 I cannot eject my iPod using either itunes or the eject button on bottom tool bar beacuse it says something is in use by another application or "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it" Synced new iPad

How can I eject my ipod when neither itunes not the "safe to eject" button will allow it. Itunes says "...cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." The safe to eject button says "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it." The has never happened before. The only thing new is that I added an iPad yesterday. Thanks.

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

hello - my ipod touch worked well until a couple of months of non-use. Now, I cannot access the internet thru my wifi. All my other devices have no such problem. I have tried resetting wifi, "forgetting network" turning wifi off and on....nothing works....can anyone help?

- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Does the iPod see the network? Error message? Does the iPod connect to other networks?

That sounds like you've engaged one of the automatic syncing options for your nano.
Plug the nano in, and go into the Device screen for the nano in itunes. Is "manually manage ..." unchecked? If so, check the box for it, and click okay. Disconnect and reconnect the nano. Is the content on the nano able to be selected in your iTunes now?

I have a new computer, and a new iTunes. My old computer crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I switch over my iPod and iPad to my new iTunes?

My laptop crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I transfer everything to my new iTunes to be able to sync my products with having to "erase" and start from scratch on evrything? Any insight will be greatly appreciatted! Thank you!!

Your iPad is married to its now deceased old computer. This is the reason for the necessity of a backup for your computer, which your iPad is not.
Your iTunes Store and App Store purchases will not be lost. Just don't "erase and sync" when you sync your iPad to your new Mac:
If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.

New macbook, old ipod touch.... cannot access music!!

I recently bought the macbook pro for college. I have an iPod touch, which is basically attached to me at all times. I am trying to open up my library on this computer but it continually says that this ipod is synced with another computer and I cannot access my music, add, or delete anything. How do I sync this ipod with my new computer, and/or UNsync the other computer (family computer which I will not have access to come august)
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ipod touch will sync with ONE computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer. This is the way it is designed.
You should move all of your info/music/pics/etc from the old computer to the new one first, then sync.

I cannot access facetime or messages on my Ipod touch anymore. I have restarted, restored and it still is not working..any ideas?

I cannot access facetime or messages on my Ipod touch anymore. I have restarted, restored and it still is not working..any ideas?

It asks for my apple ID and password when I try to access facetime or messages
. After I enter it brings me to an email to select-then verifies and brings me back to enter ID again.

TS4062 I cannot get a WiFi signal, which means that I cannot access all of the other features on my ipod. Is there anyway I can access all of the other features without Siri or WiFi?

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.
