Computer wont recognize ipod in disk drive J!?

I recently recieved my Ipod Nano for my birthday, and everything was going as planned until I came back from vacation 2 weeks ago and tried to put more songs on my Ipod.
Once I put my ipod in the connecter which I had been using for the past 3 months, Itunes never came up so I clicked on it and my Ipod was not listed on the lefthand side.
I went to the apple websited and completed all of the 5 R's and still nothing.
I also went under "My Computer" and saw that disk drive J(the ipod drive) was said to be empty, but yet my ipod was plugged in and the screen on my ipod was blinking and said do not disconnect, like normal.
I checked the back of the connecter and the computer and i made sure everything was in tight, but still it claimed drive J, my ipod drive, was empty. Meanwhile all my songs were deleted somehow. I'm not sure how to fix this because I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything and yet nothing has helped!! Someone please help me out, i need my Ipod to work!! Thanks alot!

Try changing the drive letter?
For info, here's the link to the Microsoft Help and Support page:

    My iPod is sad.
    What does this picture on my iPod mean?
    Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

  • Computer wont recognize ipod

    I just got a new laptop and it will not recognize my ipod plugged in the usb. Went back and tried old desktop and it will not recognize either. Any ideas why?

    When you plug it in, does the iPod's screen change to indicate that it is connected (and/or charging)?
    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar.  To show the sidebar, from the menau bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    With the sidebar visible, when you connect the iPod, it does not appear under DEVICES in the sidebar?

  • Computer wont recognize second hard drive in target disk mode

    I've had trouble installing Leopard on my iMac (read this for full details: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196525&tstart=0)
    Long story short, I tried to hook up the iMac to my computer, starting it (the iMac) up in Target Disk Mode, in order to save some files before restoring the hd, but my computer wont recognize the iMac hd when it's connected. Is there any way to save these very important files?

    Because the drive might not be the only thing that isn't working, it could be your logic board or something else. Removing the drive will isolate it and allow you to see whether your data is recoverable without having to worry about what else is failing on the iMac.

  • I left a dvd in my macbook pro for a while and now my computer wont recognize that there is even a disk in there, nor will it eject it. how do i get the dvd out?

    i left a dvd in my macbook pro for a while and now my computer wont recognize that there is even a disk in there, nor will it eject it. how do i get the dvd out?

    Hold down the mouse button or trackpad clicker as you start up.
    If no joy, restart and hold the Option key. This brings up the Startup Manager, which will draw an Icon for each bootable Volume. When all are drawn, the Eject key is "live".

  • Time Capsule wont recognize my external hard drive connected to my router.

    I purchasd a Netgear N600 Ruter and connected a WD MyBook for Mac Hard Drive to it with the hopes of setting up a wireless Time Machine Backup system for my MacBook and iMac. Unfortunately Neither computer will recognize the MyBook Hard Drive as a Hard Drive for Time Machine. I can get to the files through the finder window just fine, but Time Machine won't recognize it as haveing space to back things up in. In disk Utility it stays that my external Hard drive is formatted to "Macintosh Formatting".
    Also in Time Machine>Select Back Up Disk>Other Time Capsule>Set Up it opens the Airport Utility. In Airport Utility If I go to File Menu and go to Configure Other it Requests a address and password. For the address I chose the files that the Hard drive is listed to which is smb://192.168.1.1...(etc) It says "An error Occured while reading the configuration." Do I need to reformat my external hard drive? I was on support for about 2 hours with the Router support and they finally said to contact apple Support. Any Ideas would be great. Please Help!

    Netgear made WNDR3700 and WNDR3800 as well as a specific Mac version.. all called N600 as well as some modem models also called N600.. So tell us a precise and exact model number.
    I think the Netgear are supposed to handle AFP file protocol, but we need the exact model to check... also if it can handle AFP since Lion.. because a lot of things changed and units that could do TM backups no longer worked. AFP in Lion increased security beyond what the firmware of the router could handle.
    You also need to understand, you cannot see a TM backup that was done on an external drive if it is plugged into a network device.. TM handles network drives differently to local drives.
    But there is no reason to do what you are doing.. In fact it is much better to leave the disk plugged into the iMac.
    You can still access it from wireless with your laptop, by simply sharing the disk to the network from the iMac.

  • Computer wont recognize voice commands

    I have been trying to calibrate my computer for voice commands, even when I am able to say the command examples and get my voice to the green but try for real my computer wont recognize any or most of my commands in any way either by holding a key down or saying a key word before commanding. I have an oklahoma accent but still my accent is not heavy. Any solutions?

    In the Speakable Items window, click on the purple circle w/the black "?" mark in the middle. That is a Help button.
    If you do not find a solution on the window that opens, make sure you click on the links at the bottom of the window:

    Consider updating your OS to the last Leopard version which I believe is OS 10.5.8. Your current OS is outdated.

  • My last computer crashed and my new computer doesn't have a disk drive. I downloaded the CS package, put in my serial number,but during install is is still requiring a disk. What do I do?

    My last computer crashed and my new computer doesn't have a disk drive. I downloaded the CS package, put in my serial number,but during install is is still requiring a disk. What do I do?

    is your cs6 a upgrade?
    if so, after entering your cs6 serial number you will be prompted to select the qualifying product from a dropdown.  select the product you own and enter its serial number.
    after entering each serial number at the correct time installation will proceed.
    if no, what files (names and extensions) did you download and what are the file sizes shown on your hd?
