Hi,
TO check if its your computer see if you have service pack 2 (right click on my computer and go to properties and click on the gneral tab) if not it can be downloaded at microsoft.com. If you have SP2, check it on someone elses computer who has the software installed. If you dont have anyone close to you who has a computer with the software installed check out the apple stores they do basic trouble shooting the store (you have to make a reservation at apple.com/retail, or you can make a walk in appointment). If you dont you can call apple support 1-800-275-2273. If you dont want to call support you can send your ipod in for repair at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod
Good Luck

IPod not showing up in iTunes and have done every thing in Suport

I ve just bought a 5th gen ipod with video yesterday . installed the new itunes and set it up , but every time i connected the iPpod it kept saying it was corupted and needed to be restored or try another USB port ...
I did all that about 7/8 times and still nothing , so I re-installed every thing again and reste the pc and low and behold it started to work (so I know that it can work on my pc )
so I ejected the iPod and when I went to plug it in again it came back up with the iPod is corupted and now it shows up in windows but not in iTunes any more and Ive followed all the suports addvice and now just dont know what esle to do.
Can some one help ?

Connect your iPod to a rear port on your computer then connect your keyboard and mouse. Disconnect ALL other USB devices including printers, external hard drives, modems, printers, scanners, incense burners, cameras, etc. and disconnect from any network you might be on. Now give your iPod a much higher drive letter such as M or P or Z: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2369954#2369954

Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it

Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it but it dosent show up under devices so i cant sync any music!!the screen on the ipod would usually say "connecting"or"do not disconnect"but it dosent say that anymore!!Ive been trying to fix it for DAYS but i cant find a good enough solution.PLZ HELP!!(p.s. i have a 4th generation nano)

Hey there,
A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
Hope this helps.

IPod frozen and not showing up in iTunes, I've tried everything

My iPod Nano (2nd generation) has "Do not disconnect" on the screen whether or not it is connected to the computer, and it will not show up in iTunes, and I do not think that it is showing up in "My Computer." I think I have tried everything that the support section suggested, but my iPod still says "Do not disconnect" on the screen and iTunes freezes up every time I try to restore it.
What happened:
I went to the iTunes store and bought an album, so then I plugged in my iPod to get those songs on my iPod. If it matters, I'm using my mom's laptop for iTunes because my computer does not have XP, and I plug the iPod into the USB slot. My iPod's screen showed the words "Do not disconnect" and I waited for the iPod to show up on iTunes and for it to say updating or whatever it does when it puts new songs on it. Well the iPod never showed up, and iTunes had frozen. I did the good old "ctrl + atl + delete" and iTunes was not responding so I clicked "End task." Then I went down to click on iTunes again and it would not come up. I tried again, and nothing. I clicked on iTunes in the Start menu and it wouldn't come up. So then I decided to restart the computer so that I could get iTunes to work. The computer turned off, but would not turn on. It showed the same screen for about 10 min and nothing was happening. I was afraid to disconnect the iPod since it still said "Do not disconnect" so it was still plugged in. I then switched off the power on the laptop, and tried to turn it back on. It was stuck on the same screen again, and I waited for about 10 min, and I finally disconnected the iPod and the computer promptly started up. The iPod still said "Do not disconnect," and pushing buttons did nothing. I pulled up iTunes and plugged my iPod back in, but iTunes did not show the iPod on the side like it should. So I closed it and tried again, and after about 20 tries of restarting the computer, unplugging and plugging the iPod, and reopening iTunes, I eventually got the iPod to show and it asked to restore it, so I clicked ok. As it was restoring the bar was moving back and forth and then it just stopped, and I moved the mouse and realized that iTunes had frozen again. I was forced to "End task" and I had to restart the computer. I've gone through this cycle about 20 times, and about every 15 min I will get the iPod to show up on iTunes (but it does not recognize the iPod's name or the type of iPod) and no matter what I try to do next iTunes freezes up and I have to restart the computer. Sorry for the long read, I just didn't want to leave out any detail. I've been trying to get it to work for a few hours and I'm getting very frustrated, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The select button + menu button thing worked, I just realized that when I was trying it before the hold was still on (since I was "toggling it"). I feel stupid...

IPod not showing up in iTunes (but it worked before)

Hey... this is my second day of having my iPod and all was working fine. I had loaded songs into iTunes and was able to transfer them onto the iPod..
The problem I am having now though is that I always leave my computer on at night, but I turn off my monitor. I went to sleep last night and when I turned on my monitor this morning, my computer had shown that it had been reset (it was prompting me to log in) so I did so, and now my iPod wont show up in iTunes anymore... but it does show up in windows explorer.
Any fix to this? I've restarted my computer several times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and also stopped the iPod process in the device manager thingy and restarted it, but to no avail.

I've posted several questions over this and no one has helped me either, i've done all the delete, uninstall, reinstall, computer management things too, and nothing has worked for me either, I am quite disappointed at how I am not getting any help. Hope you find someone who can help you!

Ipod not showing up in Itunes on Mac computer

When I plug in my ipod touch to my computer it does not show up in Itunes. do I need to reset my ipod touch?
Help!!! I have done all the things to troubleshoot this situation other than reset my ipod. I am afraid to do this. I don't want to loose anyting.

I would try:
- Rebooting your computer
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing would be lost.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Trying another USB port and cable
- The troubleshooting here. You di not say what you alread tried.
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- Last would be to place it in recovery mode and then restore it. However, you will loose everthing on the iPod. Restoring from backy and syncing will then restore you iPod to what it was before the last backup. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Ipod not showing up on itunes or computer when plugged in

Trying to sync my ipod touch, but when I plug it in it doesn't show up on my itunes or on my laptop, a prompt just comes up saying something about the camera. I have windows 8. I need help, I don't know how to fix this problem by myself.
I also have a problem, syncing new songs onto my ipod touch, it wouln't let me put my new cds on it, so if someone can help me fix these problems it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

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
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests

*HELP PLEASE* Ipod not showing up in iTunes

hey every-one, when i plug my ipod cable into my computer, nothing comes up on Itunes, so i can't put any music on my ipod, but my ipod still charges...
Please help me..
Thanks.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

Ipod not showing up on itunes?? Help please ASAP.

I am having some problems with my nano. I plug it into my computer and go to itunes. My ipod does not show up, and I can't charge or sync it. This has never happened before...
Please Help!

I just started having the same problem, also. I plug in the IPod, and my computer tells me that the IPod USB Driver "has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP" (whatever that means). I tried, for hours, using the tips provided by Mac (e.g. the 5 R's, and re-installing the driver) to no success. If anyone can provide help, it would be much appreciated.
This problem literally started today. (I even tried re-installing ITunes to no avail!)

Ipod not showing any music, Itunes dies when connecting

Hey everybody,
Here's my problem: Earlier on I loaded 40 songs on my Ipod Classic and was charging it for a little while. When I disconnected it, it told me no songs were in it's library. I reconnected the Ipod to my computer several times and everytime I did so, Itunes died on me, and a Windows window popped up informing me that the external harddrive was perhaps broken and it could attempt to fix it. I didn't do that yet since I have no idea what it's actually going to do and I was hoping there'd be a way to reset it complettly over itunes after all. I've worked my way through the apple support, rebooting etc etc, got no effect whatsoever though. Hope you can help me out.

That is helpful but not exactly what my issue was. It only showed how to drag general music into iTunes, not how to drag self-created playlists back into a folder along with "__'s iPod Selection" in iTunes and on the iPod.

Ipod not showing up in itunes or on computer

after updating to itunes 9.1 my ipod will not show up anywhere on my computer. It doesn't even do anything when i plug it in. Although everytime since then a message comes up after logging into my computer about the applesync notifier had some sort of error and CoreFoundation.dll was not found. I re-installed itunes and that didn't help so i uninstalled MobileMe and now the message does not come up,my ipod still doesn't connect though.Any help?

It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.
