See these troubleshooting articles.
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 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?

  • Imac 10.7.5 doesn't recognize iPod touch 32gb 5th gen, iPad and iPad mini all work ok

    imac 10.7.5 doesn't recognize iPod touch 32gb 5th gen, iPad and iPad mini all work ok.

    I just don't get it. I got the iPod from a friend which didn't use it at all. If I connect my iPad or iPad mini to my mac, they all get connected well and iTunes sees them too. iPod touch not for some reason
    The iPod touch is completely new, no missing contacts etc. It works on other macs as well. Only my iMac doesn't see the iPod Touch. Maybe I can repost this problem in The IMAC section in stead of the iPod Touch, since I think its a iMac problem from now on...
    please help!

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    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".

    Will it charge when connected to a wall outlet? The USB port on your computer must be 2.0

    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.

  • 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.
