Classic not showing on desktop - but it is in system profiler

I have an iPod classic that is showing up in my system profiler, but not on my desktop. The face of the unit says that it is connected - but iTunes will not recognize it.
Please help.
Thanks

I have already tried resetting the iPod, as well as restarted the laptop several times.

IPod Classic 80GB shows on desktop but not in iTunes, so will not sync

My work Mac has just been upgraded to 10.5.8, and with it iTunes to 10.1. Now, when I connect my iPod, it appears on the desktop but not in the iTunes panel. As such, it won't sync any new content.
There is no problem with the cable, as the iPod charges while connected. I've tried resetting the iPod about a dozen times, which has no effect (once in a while the iPod says it is synchronizing, but this only lasts a few seconds and then disappears). Is there anything else I should try before I take the big step of formatting the iPod? I'm reluctant to do this because at the moment I at least have an iPod full of music - if I format and it still won't sync, I'll have a useless empty black box! Is it possible to go back to the previous version of iTunes which was syncing fine?

Have you seen this?

Hard drive will not show on desktop?

Please can someone help? when i connect my iomega ego HDD to my macbook pro it does not show on the desktop and i can not access it? i have gone to FINDER and the preferences say it will show. I have gone to the SYSTEM PROFILER and it shows as connected in the USB as a High speed Bus - Iomega ego HDD (so i know its working) also i have gone to DISK UTILITY and it registers as 500 GB external raid.
Does anyone know how i can access my hard drive?

lloydie9143,
I would suggest if there is no important data (or data that cannot be moved to another device) to erase the external and reformat the drive.
System Profiler can see it which is a good sign and is recognizing the HDD, but reformatting it can often correct many of these issues with drives mounting and showing up for use.
I hope this helps
GL!

Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.

That will let you transfer your non purchased content
For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist? IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists. In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs. In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate and listed by Al Green, cowboy junkies etc... How to fix this so the ipod part of my iphone will show & play the soundtracks as albums... thanks.

What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If you have chosen selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres - if Pulp Fiction is available under the Albums section to be selected as an Album to be transferred to your iPhone, is it selected?
If so, when you select Albums via the iPod on your iPhone, the album is not available there to select?
You can always create an iTunes playlist with these songs placing the songs in your preferred order.

Ipod Classic in disk mode does not show on desktop or finder

Ipod Classic in disk mode shows in Itunes but not on desktop or in finder? Can't add any files to it.

With the Finder as the front most application, choose Finder -> Preferences -> General and make sure there is a tick mark next to CDs, DVDs, and iPods, under the option Show these items on the desktop.
Any luck there?
