Sorry, I don't know what that means.
Have you had a chance to look through these?
USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

  • Third-generation iPod appears in "My Computer" but not iTunes

    I am sure this problem has been brought up many times before, but my iPod is not showing up in my iTunes but does appear in my My Computer folder. I have tried the troubleshooting options available on the Apple support page and have done other web searches for some help but nothing to avail. Can anyone help me?

  • IPod shuffle appears in My Computer but not in iTunes after upgrade to 8.1

    I recently upgraded to iTunes v.8.1. Now my generation 1 Shuffle shows up in 'My Computer' but not in the iTunes 'devices'? I followed the iTunes 'help' advice - even reloading iTunes but to no avail. Anyone help please?

  • IPod will connect to computer but not to iTunes (I followed the apple website guide already)

    My iPod touch 4th gen WILL connect to my computer but not iTunes. I ran the diagnostics in iTunes and Apple mobile service is running, iTunes is updated and iTunes says everything is ok EXCEPT it says there is no iPod connected, but my computer says it is.
    The apple diagnostic is located under the "Help" tab in the "Run Diagnostics" button.
    Everything is a green light and is ready to go, except the last diagnostic which says that I do not have an iPod connected. The problem here is that I do, It is also a new iPod and when I plug it in I hear the computer beep that signifies that an external device has been connected.
    My sister also has this problem connecting to the same computer (the only computer with this problem).

    Have you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    including:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • 5th generation ipod is recognized by computer but not by itunes.

    Every time I try to sync, iTunes doesn't respond. I just get the spinning beach ball and I must force quit. The computer recognizes the ipod but not Itunes. Both work fine independent of each other.

    Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • Ipod is recognized by computer but not by iTunes

    When i plug in my ipod 5 to my windows computer, it beeps and a windows page pops up asking if i want to import pictures or view files off the ipod but iTunes does not recognize the iPod, it does not show up as being connected to the computer on iTunes.

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • IPod connects to the computer, but not to iTunes

    When I connect my 30 gb iPod to the computer, the "do not disconnect" screen appears on the iPod, but it does not show up on a Source list on iTunes nor does it update. The iPod does appear in the Finder, so I know the connection is made. I have OSX 10.4.11 and just updated to iTunes 8, but this problem occurred prior to the update (I was hoping the update would solve the problem!). What to do???

    Yep add me to that list too, and I have tried the menu and select button on the ipod all that happens is the contrast goes very faint, tried the combo thing and it tells me it can't be installed on this computer, tried the 5 R's on the ipod frequent question page, all do nothing, totally un impressed with Apple for the first time, never had any problems but version 8 of itunes really needs bugging out before it was released, if anyone has any other ideas please do add them as I have just bought a whole load of music which is sat on my library and cant move to ipod...oh and I have also tried the create a new account and see if that works, well I could see the ipod but couldnt transfer the contents back to itunes - sooooooo unhappy can't do apple care as classic ipod is way past 2 years

  • Ipod shuffle recognized by computer but not by itunes

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. I have just purchased an ipod shuffle and went through all the installation okay to find the ipod just blinks in orange mode and is not recognised or picked up by itunes. There is no symbol present in the sources bar.
    The computer has picked it up and describes it as a usb disc drive. The drivers for it look to be windows ones and can be found in the device manager under disc drives. I tried to change the drivers but found it just kept replacing them with windows ones.
    I downloaded the help pages and went through the lenghty process of uninstalling ipod and itunes and reinstalling them, making sure my norton security center was disabled, but I still encounter the same problem.
    Is there anyone who has had similar problems or can advise me what to do please.
    many thanks.

    Hi
    Did you get any further with this? I bought a shuffle today, and have exactly the same symptoms, haven't found a solution yet.
    Thanks.

    Peter,
    Peter. I had the same problem (only after installing 5.0.1). The only solution I found to work was to uninstall 5.0.1 and install the previous version that came on the packaged disk.
    Something I noticed, however, is that you can still download and successfully run the most recent iPod updater software. The 9/23/05 iPod updater release works just fine with iTunes 4.7., but it would not recognize the iPod when running 5.0.1 (iPod service error). There is clearly a commong problem with many Windows users with the 5.0.1 release. Don't know if it's a bad iPod service script or what...but it doesn't work for a lot of users (although I, too, had access to the iPod as an external drive in explorer). Haven't seen anything from Apple on it, though.
    Would like to see this fixed, soon!
