    this is only for everyone using Windows XP...
    search for ipod in microsoft help and support....
    here's a bit here's what microsotft says: (paraphrased)
    To resolve this problem, delete the UpperFilters registry value and the LowerFilters registry value. These values may cause access problems. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then click the UpperFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E980-E325 11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
    4. Locate and then click the LowerFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10 318}
    5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
    6. Exit Registry Editor.
    7. Restart the computer.
    it worked perfectly for me!make sure to follow the directions. it's easy and resolves many Windows XP problems related to ipods. for more info try microsoft help and support and just serch for ipod. it list a bit more info there. it doesn't say anything about reinstalling the apple software, but just to be thorough i unistalled itunes and quicktime before anything just to start with a clean slate, then reinstalled them from my ipod disk after the restart. then i downloaded all the updates from apple. my ipod has never worked better. good luck. theres no link to the page just search for ipod in windows help and support for exact text...

  • Please Help-- 1st Gen iPod not showing in iTunes or desktop :(

    My 20g iPod doesn't show up anymore in iTunes or on the desktop, but the iPod itself does say "do not disconnect" when it's connected to the USB port. It's plugged directly into my computer and I've tried switching ports, so it's not that. I was able to connect my friend's nano, so the problem can't be the port.
    I've done the 5 Rs without success. I only have OS X 10.2.8, so can't upgrade to iTunes 7. I had iTunes 6.0.5 but changed back to 6.0.4 after hearing that it might help with the iPod problem. Nothing seems to have changed, though, the iPod is still unrecognized by iTunes and the desktop.
    I've read a bunch of posts saying to repair disk permissions, but when I open Disk Utility(which does show the iPod) my only options are Verify Disk and Repair Disk. Verify and Repair Disk Permissions are there but are in grey (can't click on them.)...
    And my warranty ran out ages ago, so the Apple people won't help me. Great for them, but I'm screwed.
    So I know very little about how these things work, and everything I've tried has failed thus far. Any advice you have would be wonderful!
    EMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   Mac OS X 10.2.8

    Update: I get this message when the iPod is plugged into the computer:
    "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To use the unreadable volumes, click Initialize. To continue with the disk inserted, click Ignore."
    There are three options: Initialize, Ignore, and Eject, but none of them do anything. ??? I'm clueless as to what to do here.

  • IPod not functioning

    My iPod Mini has a lock on the left side of the clock and an arrow, on the left side of the lock pointing toward the lock . The last song played remains on the display. The display remains dark and does light up when attached to my computer or plugged into an AC outlet. None of the controls function and the unit does not seem to charge when the unit is plugged into the USB port. The iPod is not recognized by iTunes and does not appear in the iTunes Directory. Does anyone know how to get my iPod working

    This morning I found the battery barely charged and my display blank. I toggled the power switch and the apple appeared on the screen. I pugged the unit into the computer and iTunes recognized the iPod. I performed a restore and I am just waiting for the battery to recharge before I attempt to see if it will play the music that was synced on it
    Thanks for responding

  • Help, Daughter's iPod not working

I've reset it, it's wiped out the songs and playlists. It won't shut off and when I press select and menu to reset it, it clicks and gets really hot. Anyway to fix this or do I have to send it in?

  • Help me please ---Ipod touch 4th

    My daughter ipod touch has been disabled bc of so many tries with the passcode. I was able to restore the Ipod once before. It has been locked again I have tried restoring it and I get an error 1611.I have tried it on different computers too and I get the same error or a different one....Happle wants to charge me $113 to send it in which i cold almost buy a new one. this ipod is in good shape. Does anyone have any idea what else I can try to fix it please.....

    Not a good error.
    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. in that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HELP!! Ipod Not showing on my comp

    it used to work fine but since few days ago, when i connect my ipod to my pc it wont show up anything, not even in itunes.
    i tried it on other comps and it was working fine.
    so i guess i got problems w/ my pc but i have no idea how to fix this.
    I tried plugging it on a diff port and same thing happened.
    I can't restore my Ipod because i got some important files in it.
    If u kno the solution plz let me know!!!

    Assuming it was not a 5G iPod/iOS of 7 or above then changing the Apple ID PW should fix the problem. That is all you can do.

  • Ipod not found - will not sync; restored and lost everything. Please help.

    To whom it may concern,
    My iPod Classic has worked perfectly for the few years I've had it. I only use it a few times a month on average so it's still in really nice shape.
    Earlier today, I went to sync it like I do every couple of weeks whenever I add new songs, and something strange occurred. At first, it seems to say "Syncronizing..." but quickly stops and displays the "Connected" status instead - not long enough to sync even one song.
    Sure enough, I checked it and it had not updated.
    After using the "Run Diagnostics" option, it tells me "Device Sync Tests Results: No iPod touch, iPhone or iPad found."
    Yet - under "Device Connectivity Tests", it does say "iPod Found" and it shows up as a device in my iTunes - but not in my Devices (under Preferences).
    I followed every step in the troubleshooting guide that iTunes directed me to, each with the same results. As a last resort, I used a Factory Restore, which was what the website told me to do.
    To my horror, the problem STILL persists - and I just cleared out not only all of my songs, but photos that were very important to me that I only had on my ipod. I even tried to do a backup first, but my device would not show up under the "Preferences/Devices" category, I could not even save them before I restored it.
    Now I am stuck with an ipod that will not sync with my itunes library, and an ipod that has absolutely nothing on it. At least before I restored it, it had all of my old music and photos on it.
    This is very frustrating and upsetting. If there is anything that might be able to be done, please help - and please, do not send me back to the same webpage - I already tried everything there at least twice now.
    I also borrowed a different cable to make sure it wasn't my adapter, and there was no difference.
    To make matters worse, as I am trying to find someone to assist me, I received this message after entering my serial number;
    "It looks like your product is not covered for complimentary technical support, so you may need to purchase a single incident of support."
    This iPod already cost me $250.00 and that was steep in and of itself. I really do not feel that it would be fair to have to pay even more just to get some help when it malfunctions.
    If absolutely anything can be done, please help me. I would be very grateful.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    This issue has been resolved - my Support Advisor, Edgar, was able to discern what was causing the problem.
    It appears that, despite years of never experiencing this, one of the latest ipod updates actually altered my device's personal settings and changed it to "Manual" for all synchronizing; even performcing Factory Restores did not change it back to being automatic.
    My ipod is working as good as ever now thanks to Edgar. If anyone else is having this problem, please make sure you check your device's settings in iTunes and see if "Manual" is checked - even if you never changed the settings yourself and have no reason to suspect that to be the problem, as was the case here. If it is checked - uncheck it to enable automatic syncing.
    So relieved this was not a much more serious problem. I've missed having my music on the go. Thanks, Edgar!

  • Please help! all albums on ipod not showing in itunes library

    Hi,
    I 'd be very grateful if someone could help me please. I have an old ipod nano 4 or 5th gen, sorry not sure which. My problem is that only a few of my albums are showing in itunes although they are all on my ipod. I have tried syncing my ipod many times but it hasn't worked. I have also tried i the summary tab, unticking 'manually manage music and videos', but then get a message 'are you sure you want to manually manage music and videos on your ipod? All existing content on your ipod will be replaced with the contents of your itunes library'. Which I don't want, because only a few of my albums are on my itunes library! I want all the music stored on my ipod to go on to itunes, and I don't know why it dissapeared from itunes in the first place...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mari.

    Hi!
    If iTunes is recognizing that there is music on the device that isn't automatically syncing, do this:
    1: Go into the iPod area of iTunes.
    2: Find the Music tab.
    3: Select the unsynced music.
    4: Drag the music into the Music part of the iTunes library (should be on the left hand side).
    It is probably just not syncing automatically because you haven't told it that you want it to sync. This will fix it.

    Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?
