Everyone who can't get their iPod to show in their iTunes source list!

I had the same problem and noticed a lot of different topics about it so i just posted it here....what i did was updated my itunes then rebooted my computer then updated my ipod and rebooted my computer then restored my ipod, disconnected it from the computer then plugged it back in and it worked! good luck hope this works for you

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem...
When I open the iTunes store all album artwork is a black box. This goes for all songs in my library as well as any song, album, movie that is displayed in the iTunes store. If I try to watch a movie trailer, I get the audio but not the video. This just started happening this week.

  • 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?
    Thanks

    Hi. 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.

  • IPod won't post in iTunes source list; cannot transfer songs.

    I connected my iPod to my Mac G5 but the iPod icon did not appear in the iTunes source list as expected. There was also a button for ejecting the iPod after transfer. In the past this procedure prompted an auto transfer of my current music library/play lists from iTunes to iPod.
    I got some sort of "overload" message upon plugging in the iPod, had to force quit. Got a recharge anyway.
    Tried another plug-in: "Do not disconnect" message on iPod screen. iPod still not appearing in iTunes source list.
    (Nothing wrong with my 2004 purchased iPod 20GB; works fine.)
    I suspect that the iTune update downloads I accepted are to blame. Maybe the newer iTunes version does not recognize my 2004 iPod.
    I tried reinstalling iTunes and was prompted to update/restore my iPod to factory settings, which involves clearing its song contents. I am not inclined to do that because as it is, I cannot transfer music from iTunes to iPod.
    Please advise if you know how to resolve this issue. Thank you.

    Have you tried quitting iTunes, then connecting your iPod? If iTunes then launches, and the iPod doesn't appear in your Source column, can you open prefs and change anything for the iPod's settings (which you can only do if the iPod's connected)? I'm wondering if you've got Enable Disk Use turned on - that sometimes can interfere with iTunes accessing and syncing. Were you able to connect your iPod successfully to any other Mac?

  • HT1386 I can't get my iPod Classic to sync with iTunes.  My iPod Classic is up to date, and i have downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  When trying to sync, it gives the message "The iPod "Brad D's iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found."

    Do I have to un-install and re-install iTunes or do I have to restore my iPod Classic (I don't want to lose everything in my music library)?

    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive for storage is not a good thing.  It usually means the hard drive is faulty.  That is the likely reason for getting an error during the attempt to Restore.
    If you use a Mac, you can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    If it goes into Disk Mode, connect the iPod and instead of running iTunes, run Disk Utility.  Does the iPod appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?  If it does, select the iPod device in the sidebar, not the volume indented below the device (if there is one).  Go to the Erase tab.  Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Name does not matter.  Click on Security Options and choose to write a single pass of zeros over the entire disk.  This serves as a good "stress test" for the iPod's hard drive.  Back on the main window, click Erase.
    This takes longer than a regular erase, but you should see steady progress.  If it errors out, or stalls for a LONG time (like hours), the hard drive is likely to be faulty.
    If it completes successfully, quit Disk Utility, run iTunes and try to do another Restore

  • I can't get my iPhone5 to show up in iTunes 11!

    In my house, we have have one three year old Mac that My Mom and I sync our iPhones to using iTunes(obviously) She only uses it to charge her phone and update her games, but I use iTunes for everything that is considered a feature. Since this iTunes 11 came out, only my Moms phone will even show up in the library, and I would like to get mine on as well, so I can sync all my files, help anyone?

    ok, I removed ATV from the devices list on iTunes and also disconnected on ATV.  I unplugged and restarted the ATV.  I unplugged and restarted Airport.  I went to ATV and chose connect to iTunes, got the passcode and ATV still does not appear in iTunes.  ATV does not show up in iTunes preferences/devices list.
    Any suggestions?

  • TS4036 I have had to do a factory reset on my ipad3,when i restored via i.cloud not all my apps were restored how can i get them back,they show on the back up list on my ipad in icloud,any help is appreciated thanx,   Andrew

    I took my Ipad to my local Apple store as it would not d`load or update apps. They factory restored it,on icloud backup restore not all my apps were restored including some i`d paid for, they show up on my list of appsin icloud, how can i get them back? any help very welcome, thanx...Andrew

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Can't get through one TV show purchased on iTunes without Homeshare timing out

    My Apple TV is up to date, as well as my imac. Netflix is working pretty well now but it really bugs me that I can't get through a whole TV show that I purchased on iTunes without the Homeshare timing out. If I go to watch on my computer, it works fine. This is somthing between my computer and my Apple TV which is especially maddening because it all Apple! I have spent a lot of time on this and I am not a techie. very maddening - about to throw the darn thing in the trash!

    It is likely an issue with your local network.
