D400: iTunes server doesn't show up in iTunes 9

Hello, I'm trying to setup the iTunes server and the documentation isn't too good.
I have music in the shared Music folder on the D400. I turned on the iTunes Server option. I expected to see a shared music source within iTunes but I see nothing. I'm using iTunes 9 and cannot see anything on a Mac or Win 7.
Is there anything I need to do? Can someone point me to better instructions on how the iTunes server is supposed to work?
Thanks! Kyle
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Even though it was set to automatically update this was not occurring. 
I clicked on the "Update Now" button on Settings and the server now appears in iTunes 9.

    Hi ChristianHelpplz,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
    I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
    Check your USB connections
    Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
    Try a different USB port.
    Try a different USB cable.
    Restart your device
    Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
    Restart your Mac
    Turn your Mac off and back on.
    Update your software
    Check for software updates on your Mac.
    Check for an iTunes update.
    Check your security software
    If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
    From:
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,

  • IPhone 3GS doesn't show up in iTunes

    (Sorry for the length of this, but I want to make sure that I don't leave out anything that I've done.)
    It all started last week when I installed Starcraft 2 on my Mac mini (the new one that came out in June 2010). Starcraft 2 crashed frequently due to the nVidia driver issues in 10.6.4, so the next day I re-installed OS X from the DVD that came with my computer to rollback to 10.6.3. Starcraft 2 worked better, but that's beside the point.
    Later that day I noticed that iTunes didn't show my iPhone 3GS when it was connected (I have had zero problems with this since I got my Mac mini last month). (I'm using iTunes 9.2.1, by the way). I searched a bit, and found the instructions to Uninstall and reinstall iTunes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224). I followed the instructions, and everything worked quite well.
    At this point, I thought the problem was either due to my re-install of OS X or Starcraft 2 (I'm using a USB headset, which could somehow be related).
    I was having other issues with Starcraft 2 at this point, so I decided to install Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. I did this, installed Starcraft 2, and played away.
    When I rebooted into OS X, again I noticed that my iPhone wasn't showing up in iTunes. I started to follow the uninstall steps again, and this time I noticed that iTunesHelper wasn't running. It wasn't running because it wasn't in the list of login items to run when my account logs in. Since I was part way through uninstalling anyway, I continued with the process and then reinstalled iTunes. Once again, iTunes saw my iPhone fine. This time I also manually added iTunesHelper to my login items (I had to right click iTunes.app, Show Package Contents, navigate to iTunesHelper.app, and drag it into the list of Login items; I did check the Hide checkbox, since I recalled it being checked during the first uninstall).
    It was a few days before I checked iTunes again (I rebooted a few times in here to play Starcraft 2 in Windows; note that I haven't ran Starcraft 2 in OS X since I installed Windows XP previously). However, once again my iPhone wasn't in iTunes.
    Since I want to sync my iPhone today, I once again follow the uninstall iTunes process. This time, after installing it and verifying that my iPhone shows up in iTunes (again, I had to manually add iTunesHelper to my login items), I immediately rebooted and connected my iPhone. It didn't show up in iTunes (which I kind of expected at this point). I verified that iTunesHelper was indeed running.
    I also tried connecting my wife's iPod touch (first generation), but it doesn't show up in iTunes either (not that I expected it to).
    I've tried changing the USB port the dock connector is connected to, but that doesn't seem to matter. I did not change the port during the last reboot attempt, so I do not think that the port itself is bad. I have it connected to one of the ports on the back of the Mac mini, not to one of the ports on my keyboard. Also, my iPhone does charge when connected to this port even if iTunes doesn't recognize it.
    At this point it sounds like the iTunes 9.2.1 installer doesn't do something that is required for the iPhone to be recognized by iTunes after a reboot, even though it sets things up properly right after installation. Based on the uninstall instructions, I compared the iTunes related files on my Mac with my wife's (a MacBook from early 2008, if that matters), and everything seems to be in place.
    I've seen quite a few other posts here regarding issues with iPhones (and iPod touches) not showing up in iTunes, so apparently this is a common issue, but none of them seemed to help my problem.
    Do you have any ideas of anything else I can try?
    Thank you very much!

    I think my problem is fixed now.
    For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
    A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
    I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
    So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

  • My ipod touch wont turn on!! i have tried EVERYTHING!!! rebooting , trying to put it in DFU mode , pressing volume , power and home buttons , charging it but nothing works!it doesn't show up in itunes. my warranty is expired. what to do please help!

    MY ipod touch 5 wont turn on. i tried holding the power and home button together to reboot but didnt work. i tried pressing only the home or power button but no response . it doesn't show up in itunes. i tried keeping i in charge but it doent even show the charging icon! it does not show the no battery icon either. i tried leaving it with no disturbance for a few hours but still no luck . it has no response . My 1 year warranty is already expired. is my ipod officially and completely DEAD????

    See if you missed anything here
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free. No warranty required

  • I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  Can you help?

    I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  One of the albums won't even play the music.  Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music.  Can you help?

    Hello dannugget
    Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.

    The update didn't apply correctly.

  • When I add to my iTouch playlist is doesn't show up in iTunes

    I like to manually manage my music so I dont use the sync option and never have, but for about a year now when I add a song to my playlist on my iTouch and connect it to iTunes it doesn't show up under "on this iPod". It use to bout a year ago, but after one of those updates it just stopped doing it. Also, when I add a song, iTunes updates ALL my songs, videos, apps and it backs it up... EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have over 3000 songs and it become very annoying to wait 10 sometimes 15 minutes just to add a 3mb song. I gave up a decided to sync everything to see if the problem would be solved but, not only did my music get wiped but it tooks hours to add all my music back AND it still wouldn't sync the playlists. Help!!!
    PS. I consider myself to have a lot of experience with the iTouch and iTunes, so don't post stuff like: "reset your iTouch" and "re-install iTunes" unless you KNOW it will work.

    They will only be on your computer's iTunes if you put them there. If you are in a country where you can re-download music then they should show under the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If they don't show there then you can connect your phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over.

    so i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

    If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer.  Do this to Reset your shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle.
    If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

  • My iTouch still doesn't show up in iTunes after the latest update...

    About maybe 1-2 weeks ago? I updated my iTunes to version 10.1.1.4 since I haven't updated it in A LONG time, then by the moment I finished updating, my iTouch's icon/option doesn't show up in iTunes anymore (before it was all fine).
    And an annoying message will keep showing up, with the messages:
    Title: Microsoft Windows
    "MobileDeviceService has stopped working
    Windows can check online for a solution to the problem."
    -> Check online for a solution (recommended) *which I clicked, and no help*
    -> Close
    I have tried connecting my iTouch to my other USB port on my PC, reinstalling iTunes, system restore (tried to get back to the oldest version I used, but failed).
    Out of solution, I waited for a new update to come, and it's here, version 10.1.2.17.
    But everything is still the same!! (And yes, I have repeated the possible solution I have tried before for the 10.1.1.14 version)
    While I asked for some helps on the internet, some people suggested me to reset my iTouch, because they think maybe something in there is broken or corrupted. But if I do reset it and the problem is still unsolved, I'll end up with an empty iTouch that can't sync anything at all...And I still need to use it everyday for internet purpose or whatnot...so I still didn't reset it yet...

    Just wanted to say that you're not the only one with the problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13009436

  • My iPad 2 doesn't show up in iTunes.

    I want my iPad 2 to sync with iTunes over my Wi-Fi connection, but my iPad doesn't show up in iTunes. I tried the Apple troubleshooter page, but when I try to install the Mobile Device Support driver, my Windows says the driver isn't made for my device. What should I do?
    Edit: My iPad does show up in Windows Explorer as a camera.

    Got it figured out already. I connected my iPad to the front side of my computer. When I connected it to the back it worked like a charm!

  • Auto-Run/Start Doesn't show up on iTunes

    Hi, I'm having a difficult problem about the Auto-Run/Start thingy for my iPod touch that doesn't show up on iTunes on my MacBook Pro 13". Just because I want to remove my pictures from my iPod touch so I can transfer into the MacBook Pro as Picture folders.
    So how come it didn't show up like the Auto-run/start pop-up thingy? I did it before (like last week). Why like that? How come I didn't see that one on Finder folder on my MacBook Pro?

    ah thanks... i already saw it on iPhotos.
    i always thought the device didnt show up on Finder but only can show up on iPhoto when i sync it on my Macbook Pro from my iPod touch.

  • Installed 8.2.1 - Now iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes

    I just installed iTunes 8.2.1 on my MacBook Pro (10.4.1), and now my iPhone (2.2.1) doesn't show up in iTunes.
    The troubleshooter says to reinstall iTunes (I've already rebooted the phone and the computer to no avail), but that seems risky. I don't want to lose my library. Any other suggestions?

    Hi Cyndi
    I have been fearing what you said about USB 1.0 since I got my first gen iPhone two years ago. I have an older Powerbook G4 that has one USB 1.0 port. When I got my first gen iPhone I never had any problems downloading or syncing with USB 1.0, but then the news of that first big update came along. People were having problems and some of them were being blamed on folks using USB 1.0 when the specs said USB 2.0 was required. So I went online and bought a USB 2.0 card to go into my Powerbook's PCMCIA slot and all was fine. But I still used USB 1.0 from time to tiem and it still worked OK. Slower, but OK.
    I've just updated iTunes to 8.2.1 and I tried my USB 1.0 port and knock on wood my 3GS synced just fine. Odd. ?????
    If you have a PCMCIA slot on your computer, try going to www.macsales.com for a USB 2.0 card.
