Cannot see iPod in iTunes any longer.

Here is our version of iPod: U2 version: serial number JQ446QG0S2X Model: M9787LL
I am using iTunes 7.7.1 (11)
Our computer is a Powerbook G4
Version OSX 10.4.11 (Panther - I think)
When we plug it in, the icon does not come up in the Devices/Library area any more.
We are not sure why this occurred. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
FYI: Version OSX 10.4.11 (Panther - I think) *10.4.11 is Tiger*
And... when your iPod acts up... try resetting it. Here are the instructions:

Need to restore ipod, but cannot see ipod in Itunes:

Can I use Disk Utility on my Mac to restore my ipod. My ipod shows up on my harddrive but doesn't appear in Itunes. I cannot access any commands to set it back to factory defaults.
Maybe Disk Utility or a terminal command will work?
The disk is formated at a Fat32, but I don't have access to a PC anymore.

You can use Disk Utility to either repair the disk on the iPod or erase it and format it. Then restore it in iTunes.

I have an old iphone and have a new one as well. I would like to use my old on as an ipod but itunes not longer recognizes it. Any ideas? I have been using it for a month with no problems until tonight. I restarted my computer..still no fix.

Looks like its fixed. I am syncing it now. A lot of the answers are for the new iphone so i had to mess with a bunch of settings as well. My old phone is now an 8 gig ipod. the books app no longer works and that *****.....but better than nothing...

HT1920 The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists. Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's. Is there a way to access the itunes account?

The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists. Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's. Is there a way to access the itunes account?

Only downloads from iTunes will be tied to that iTunes account, unless you subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded the other songs from your computer to it. If you can't remember the account's password then you could try seeing if you can get reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
If that doesn't work then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
When you've got access to the account you can update the primary email address on it to be one that you still have access to : http://appleid.apple.com
If you don't have the music that wasn't downloaded from iTunes on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

TS1369 Why i cannot see Ipod icon into my laptop after i connected to my laptop with usb cable

Why i cannot see ipod icon into my laptop after iconnected to my laptop

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. The sidebar is where Devices appears.
Otherwise:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I cannot see 'Subscribe to iTunes Match' in menu

In spite of all the latest updates I cannot see' Subscribe to Itunes Match' in the Store menu. Help

That will be it then. Im in the UK. Should be made more obvious on the site. Thanks

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod. How can I get them back on ipod?? They are showing in music library on itunes still.

If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

ITunes cannot see iPod

OK, so iTunes somehow was able to hook up with the shuffle and pulled all my purchased songs off it. I am now on a different computer. I canot access the iPod itself though to place new songs on it. iTunes cannot see it. I am worried that the USB port sees it as a memory storage device instead of iPod. Any thoughts?

I cannot run my ITunes any longer. Error message says lITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITunes

Has anyone had any luck getting ITunes to work properly on a Windows 7 PC lately? Up until today, I could not open my ITunes at all because it said the disk was locked. A very helpful person at Apple Care told me to go into properties and release the read only box. I did and it did not help. So I uninstalled ITunes and downloaded the newest version. Now I get the message: ITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITunes.
Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

If you have a retail Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 DVD lying around, install it. If not, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Cannot see songs in iTunes

Hi. I am having problem with my iTouch 5th gen. I cannot see all my songs in my iTunes. I can see my applications and the likes but not my songs. I can still see that my iTouch still detects the songs but not the iTunes. Can someone please help me.Thanks

I am going to assume you have put things back to the default arrangement you get when you install iTunes. That is, an iTunes folder in My Music and your iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.
The simplest solution if you don't mind losing counts, ratings and playlists is as follows:
Close iTunes.
Drag iTunes Library .itl and iTunes Music library.xml out of the iTunes folder to your desktop.
Open iTunes and an empty library is created.
Go to Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General and check that the locaton of the iTunes Music folder is correctly set.
Now use File>>Add folder to library to add your iTunes Music folder.
If you want to retain counts and ratings etc it would take some more investigation to try and work out exactly what happened. A good stating point would be an exact step by step explanation of what you did - including the exact name of any folders you moved and where you moved them to.

HT4623 I cannot see or install itunes on my iphone 4.

I can see the itunes icon in greyed out in the Settings/General/Restrictions and it is off. I cannot turn it on. Any idea why itunes won't work?

Try Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).
