IPod not showing up in iTunes source list
Hi,
My fifth gen iPod is not showing up in the iTunes source list. I've tried the troubleshooting recommendations (unistall and then reinstall iTunes, delete the iPod/bin file and then update iPod software, etc.) The only one I have not tried is restoring the iPod to factory settings because that would erase the entire contents and since I can't see it in iTunes I couldn't add them back in.
Does anyone know what I can do to get the iPod to show up in the iTunes source list?
ThanksHi. I'm not sure I'm using this discussion form correctly. Anyway, I'm on an iBook. OSX 10.2.8 and recently purchased a fifth gen ipod. connected everything just fine and have been importing some CDs to itunes and updating songs on the ipod for a couple of days. Listening to music, the whole deal.
today, was trying to eject my ipod and computer froze. Restarted my computer and everything is gone from my ipod. Started the procedure of updating the ipod to reload the songs (still in itunes library) and realized that ipod is not showing up in my itunes source list.
Did the 5 Rs. Haven't reinstalled software cause not sure how.
Any help?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First try resetting your iPod again (several times
may be needed). Connect it to your computer, and see
what happens.
If your iPod appears in "My Computer", then have you
tried out all the suggestions in this article?:
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
In your case, you'll probably need to assign your
iPod a different drive letter (because your computer
may be recognizing the iPod as a network device).
If your iPod doesn't appear in "My Computer" however,
then try the following. If it already does, then
assign it a different letter following the
instructions further below.
I'm presuming that you've read through all the
suggestions in this article below, correct?:
iPod doesn't appear in Windows or in
iTunes
Restoring may be worth it, by the way, because
restoring formats your iPod to your computer, so it
may be recognized after doing this.
Have you tried the Five R's?
The
Five R's
If there are other hardware devices that are
connected to your computer's USB ports (printers,
camera), then try disconnecting them, resetting your
iPod, and connect your iPod to your computer once
more.
Try getting your computer to recognize your iPod by
also: operating in manual disk mode:
Putting your iPod into disk mode
Assigning your iPod a different drive letter
Now, see if your iPod is recognized by Control Panel,
and try assigning it a different drive letter:
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if
you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on
the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left
panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel
windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a
few moments when it gets recognized in this drive
window), and click on "Change Drive letter and
Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like
(further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod with network device /
Changing drive letter
I hope this helps you, post back if you have issues
with performing any of these things.

ATV not showing in the iTunes device list? Check your HTTP proxy config
Seems like many people are having trouble getting their ATV to show up in the iTunes Devices list. Here's my situation, and the root cause:
1. I have a small network at home consisting of one LAN with a number of computers, and a gateway router that provides DHCP, DNS and HTTP (web) proxy services
2. I found that my ATV would display in the Devices list only when the ATV and at least one Mac were isolated from the rest of my network; when I connected them back to the rest of the LAN the ATV disappeared from the Devices list (in the simplest case this isolation was a crossover cable between the Mac and ATV)
3. when connected to the whole LAN, the ATV could successfully contact the iTunes Store (trailers, etc) but would not show up in the Devices list
4. I could ping the ATV from the Mac running iTunes every time (i.e. I did not have a basic connectivity problem; e.g. "ping appletv.local." always worked)
5. I started with my ATV on v1.1, when I upgraded to 2.0 and turned on the the iTunes' "Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes" option ATV always appeared in the speaker list (i.e. even when it wasn't in the Devices list)
I had gone through the Apple troubleshooting guides, with no change.
After a lot of elimination I discovered that my problem was with my web proxy settings: my Macs were configured to use my gateway router for HTTP, and it seems that iTunes connects back to the Apple TV via HTTP - these requests were sent to the proxy and rejected (as they were for an address on the inside LAN; this is the way my proxy was configured).
I fixed the problem by using a PAC file specifying my LAN as "DIRECT" (e.g. below). An alternative would have been to configure my proxy to allow connections from the LAN back into the LAN (but be careful about allowing access from elsewhere, e.g. the Internet).
Here's my PAC file: my LAN is in the 10.0.0.0/8 address space, domain *.home.lan. (iTunes seems to contact the AppleTV via it's IP address, e.g. http://10.0.0.169:3689/ript/fp-setup?fairPlayID=4a5...):
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
// simple hostname
if (dnsDomainLevels(host) == 0) {return "DIRECT";}
// match Host against local domains (w/ optional :port)
var dom = /(127\.\d.d+.d+|.local.?|10.d+.d+.d+|.home.lan.?)(:d)?/;
if(dom.test(host)) { return "DIRECT"; }
// All other requests go through port 8080 of proxy
// should that fail to respond, go directly to the WWW:
return "PROXY proxy.home.lan:8080; DIRECT";
The reason the ATV was successfully appearing in the Devices list when it and a Mac were isolated from the rest of the LAN was that the Mac was unable to reach the proxy, and falling back to the 'DIRECT' connection.
Note: if you don't have basic connectivity, e.g. if ping appletv.local. doesn't work, then the above is almost certainly not your problem.

Message was edited by: af3556Hi There,
I have the exact same issue going on that this person described in this thread, but with the EXCEPTION in my case being that, after I have plugged my device into my laptop and uplugged it (about 10 consecutive times), my iTunes FINALLY recognizes my iPod Touch.
This is extremely frustrating to have to go through this scenerio each and every single time I want to synch and charge my Touch. Is there any way to correct it, so that the device would be recognized immediately when I first plug it in? It used to work this way (prior to the v.10 update, most likely).
Thanks! -

IPod Classic will not show up in iTunes
Okay. I'm sure this has been posted somewhere before, but I don't have time to surf through all those posts, so here's my problem. I had an old MacBook with an iTunes account and my iPod Classic would sync up to it just fine. Now I am using someone else's iMac and my iPod will not show up in iTunes. The iMac recognizes my iPod; the icon for it will show up on the desktop. iTunes also somehow recognizes my iPod, because when I hook it to the usb, iTunes automatically opens up. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it (twice) via the steps you get from Apple support. I've also tried misc. other tips apple gives you, and to no avail. I'm tired of trying the same old thing- nothing ever works!! Any suggestions???? Thanks!

TS1368 My PC will not connect to the iTunes store
My PC will not connect to the iTunes store, I have no problem with my iPhone or iPad. But with the PC all I get is the icon showing it trying to connect, but never successfuly. I have the latest iTunes software and no problem with my internet connection or any other websites. This is particularly annoying as I cannot purchase direct from the store on my PC or transfer any pruchases made on my iPhone or iPad to the other device
When I click on the store it just never opens, I do not receive any message. I try to "refresh the page" and nothing. While having the store selected I go to "help" and check for updates and i get a message; "The iTunes updatte server could not be contacted" and it prompts me to check my internet connection which is fine. None of the items under the "Store" respond with anything.
I ran a iTunes Diagnostics/ Under "Which Tests do you want to run" I check only "Network Connections" and the results that I receive is...
Network connectivity:
Network interfaces, verified
iTunes Store connectivity:
Internet connection, verified
Secure link to iTunes Store, FAILED

My iPad will show up in my computer, but will not show up in iTunes.
I have windows 8 and the latest software of iTunes on my computer. When I plug my iPad in, it shows up in my computer, but it will not show up in iTunes. I have tried everything besides resetting my iPad from the troubleshoot guide on the apple website. My mom just got an iPad mini for christmas and iTunes will not recognize her iPad either. I don't know what else to do.

i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
thank youWelcome to Apple Support Communities
Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your MacBook Pro isn't supported.
To mirror your MacBook Pro's display onto the Apple TV, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot even if AirPlay Mirroring isn't compatible -
My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection
As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.
