FOR ANYONE WHOS IPOD WILL NOT APPEAR IN ITUNES NO MATTER WHAT YOU TRY!

Hey Guys i suffered from this problem for a frustrating three weeks before i tried somthing completely random and it fixed my problem.
My ipod would appear in mycomputer and itunes would even open when connecting my ipod but would not appear in the menu. TRY THIS!
1. goto start menu
2. Click control panel -> Administrative tools -> Computer management.
3. Click disk management under the storage tab.
4. Right click your ipod (must be plugged in and possibly in disk mode) and select format.
5. In the file system tab select "FAT" NOT "FAT32"!!, select 'perform quick format' and click ok.
After this step my ipod appeared in itunes as a corrupt ipod!
6. In itunes restore your ipod since it is now on the menu.
THIS FIXED MY PROBLEM!! i hope this helps anyone with the same problem. :D!!!!
It is really hard to find a real soloution for problems like this instead of the old "reinstall itunes" I REALLY HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU!

  • My iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what i try.HELP

    my iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what HELP

    Have you tryed to restore the iPhone too ?
    Restore the phone in iTunes using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup.  However, the greyed out WiFi is often due to a hardware failure requiring replacement of the phone.
    This may help http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_touch_user_guide.pdf

  • Ipod will not appear in itunes or on desktop... tried EVERYTHING

    My 4th generation (black and white display) ipod will not update ever since i was updating it, and my computer was, for some reason, forced to restart. Now, whenever i plug my ipod into my computer using the firewire port, my ipod flashes the 'Do not disconnect' screen, and the battery sign at the top signals that it is charging. But my desktop computer (iMac G5) will not recongnize that my ipod is connected on either the desktop or in itunes. I have tried the '5 R's', and re-booting my computer and forcing into disk mode. I now have no idea what to do...
    HELP!!

    In case you can see your iPod under the disk utility, try to do the following
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    If you cant see your iPod there, then
    Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

  • IPod will not appear in iTunes...

    I have a 1st gen, 4 gig iPod Mini. If I connect it to the computer, nothing happens. If I connect it to the computer in Disk Mode, it appears in My Computer, but not in iTunes. What can I do to fix this?
      Windows XP  

    Hi, I was having what I thought was problems with one of my sons iPod mini that was not been seen by the PC or iTunes. The simple solution was there was not enough charge in the unit. Solution- fully charge unit then connect to PC. This may not help your problem but it maybe another thing to check.

  • IPod will not appear in ITunes, why? how?

    I'm using the latest version of ITunes thats available from Apple's website (v7.5.0.20) I am unable to get my 30gig Ipod to appear as a device within ITunes. I have been able to do this before I upgraded Windows from XP to Vista.
    Any ideas how to get the device listed?
    Thanks

    Is the iPod fully charged? I believe that when the battery is low it won't show up...

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • IPod does not appear in ITunes updated for OS X 10.10

    My iPod does not appear in iTunes, the desktop, or under devices in the newly downloaded version OS X 10.10. Is there a way to have it displayed?

    I am also having this problem.  My 120GB and 160GB Classics, neither will show up anywhere on 10.10.
    Not in the system report under USB, not in iTunes, the screens don't show that they are connecting.
    Quite annoying..

  • Ipod does not appear in itunes after windows scan and fix

    Two days ago, I restored my Ipod classic using Itunes 9.2.0.61. After restoration my Ipod started freezing Itunes and Vista. At a point, I saw a blue screen and my computer forced a shutdown. When it rebooted, Vista kept asking to automatically "scan and fix" problems on my Ipod. Thinking that would solve the "freeze" problem, I stupidly went ahead to have Vista scan and fix my Ipod. Now the freeze problem is gone, but my Ipod does not appear in Itunes. I have tried the five Rs from Apple, but that has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    I don't want to installed again because I just did that and didn't work!
    I want to use my iPod on this computer and system.  Can this be fix?

    Hey TheBurntApple,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone connecting to iTunes for Windows. While you may have already attempted most of the steps in this article, I wished to provide it to you just in case something was omitted.

  • My music will not appear in iTunes

    I recently downloaded the newest version of iTunes. Now when I go to open iTunes on my desktop all of my music files have disappeared. When I look on my hard drive, I can see my music files stored in the iTunes folder but for some reason they are not appearing on iTunes. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

  • My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer.  This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

    My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either.  This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed.  How can I get it going again?

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

    and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there some setting I may have accidentally turned off?
    Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

    Try reinstalling the AMDS >  iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X

    For sound issues check System Preferences > Sound
    Make sure the Mute button is not selected.
