Help Please - can't see Ipod in Windows or itunes

Just got a new 30 G Ipod and it worked fine when I intially plugged it in. After that, I haven't been able to get it to show up in itunes or windows or charge for that matter. I've tried the various times with no success. Any ideas???? I have a shuffle that works fine.
Getting really desperate!!!

See these.
USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod</font color</a>.
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
iPod does not appear in iTunes.
Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive
iPod battery doesn't charge.
As it won't charge, might be a faulty cable?

  • Ahhh, help please, can't see ipod shuffle in itunes

    I've downloaded the latest itunes after i bought a 1GB 2nd gen ipod shuffle. I plug it into USB and immediately it pops up asking me whether I wish to play or open the folder (like it does when I plug in a memory stick or my mp3 player). I choose cancel and then open itunes.
    I can't see any option to add the ipod in itunes though, there's no ipod setup assistant that appears when I plug it into the USB port and I can't see any option to search for it.
    I can see the ipod in My computer on the I drive, so the PC recognises it. How can I get itunes to do the same?
    Thanks!

    Well, I actually got a bit further now (although quite by accident). I went into "My Computer" and clicked on "System Properties." Then clicked on the "Hardware" tab and "Device Manager." When the list was populated, there was my iPod! It had a yellow warning sign next to it, so I clicked on it and followed the prompts...NOW my computer recognizes it and it shows up when I log into iTunes. HOWEVER, now I am getting the "cannot sync b/c the required disk cannot be found." *sigh* I'm a little more hopeful...maybe the tech support can help me from here??

  • Installed Itunes7 - now when conected can't see ipod in windows or itunes

    As per subject, i have just downloaded itunes 7. No problems. I have previously had no problems with connectivity but now I connect the ipod in the same way and nothing happens - not in windows or itunes. Anyone got any ideas, thanks

    Same deal here, and I'm ready kick some Apple ***!!!! Those stupid ******'s sent out new software that has totally hosed everything. I tried all their feeble suggestions. I was finally able to get itunes7 to recognize my ipod, but only after having to restart the ipod service several times and then opening up itunes. But that was for naught because I'm not able to do anything with it. When I try to add music I keep getting a "required folder cannot be found" error. And when I try to update or resotre I get a dialog that says that it's trying update my ipod, but it just keeps going and going. I let it run for over 12 hours the other day. NOTHING!!! I figured to **** with 7 and tried going back to an older version, but guess what. Once 7 is installed the music file formats are incompatible with the older itunes. Not only am I not able to connect, but when I try to play music from itunes7 the sound is "jumpy". I don't know what they were thinking.

  • Help Please - Can't See External Hard Drive

    Hi,
    Apologies for the length of this post, I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give me with this problem.
    I've been using an Lacie external firewire drive for ages and suddenly I can't see the icon on my desktop or access it.
    I realised a few months ago I changed the name of the drive and accidently put a space at the start of the title - is this the problem? I think it's been working fine up to today.
    I can see the disk in Utilities and get the following error message when I try and verify the drive:
    Disk Utility stopped verifying “ Audio Drive 1 ” because the following error was encountered:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit
    And:- Verifying volume “ Audio Drive 1 ”
    Invalid Volume Header
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Invalid sibling link
    The volume Audio Drive 1 needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    When I try and repair, I get the following:
    First Aid Failed
    Disk Utility stopped repairing “ Audio Drive 1 ” because the following error was encountered:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit
    And:- Verify and Repair disk “ Audio Drive 1 ”
    Invalid Volume Header

    Invalid sibling link
    Volume check failed.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

    Many thanks for your help,

    Can anyone help me with this: I recently bought an external hard-drive (maxtor seagate 1Terrabite) to backup everything on my macbook/PC/Playstation 3, but at the time of purchase i forgot that they all use different formatting systems (FAT32,NTFS etc) how silly of me.....
    is it possible to partition my External HDD in separate formats e.g: one partition as FAT32 and another as OSX, so that i can backup all my data from all my different systems, like my PS3.
    if this isent possible, the only other option i could think of is to just buy another external HDD but then it all becomes to costly
    if anyone has an answer please email/IM me on [email protected]

  • Can't see ipod in itunes or my computer

    HELP.Tried all recomended fixes in help forum. Background: power outage while ipod connected to PC. ipod frooze. Have reset ipod and ipod works, however when connecting to pc it is not visible in my computer or itunes. Have deleted itunes (V8) as recommended in help forum, and reloaded itunes 9. Done all the stuff and still can't see it. Have loaded itunes on my sons PC, and he can't see it either. Run diagnostics under help menu in itunes and says "ipod not connected", however it is showing charging on the ipod. Under my computer(right click)/properties/device manager, it shows "Apple ipod USB Driver" when I plug it in. It does not show up under my cumputer(left click) or in itunes. It used to work fine prior to the power failure (African curse). As I've said, I have done all recommended fixes mentioned in the Apple support pages. It seems to me that the problem is still with the ipod. When I plug it in the ipod charges and all the menues and options are available as if it weren't plugged in. It does not show connected or anything. Hope this gives a good description of what I've tried and happend. Thanks Drummer boy1960

    my ipod isn't registering to my computer or itunes either, and since it is not charging it wont turn on. Can I ask what you did to fix yours?

  • I can't see the EXS window

    I'm trying to create a sampler instrument in Logic Pro 9 complete installation.
    I start a project with a software instrument and select the EXS24 as Input... But I can't see the EXS window. All the instructions I have found so far tell me the next step is to click Edit in the top left of the EXS window... but I can't see how to make it appear.
    Thanks for your help...

  • In Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    in Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed
    Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
    So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
    Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

    I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore.  how do i transfer music from the hard drive to my ipod now?

    Click on the button for the iPod on the iTunes header bar, e.g.:
    or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" after which iTunes 11 will look much as earlier versions did. From there the process is exactly the same.

  • Help, I can't import my CD songs to itunes for Windows

    Help, I can't import my CD songs to itunes for Windows.
    My computer crashed. All my songs on CDs were titled by numbers "01", "02" etc. So I have many songs on various CDs titled "01" for example.
    When I've tried to import various CDs, it seems like the different songs having the same names are confusing itunes, and my song tracks are getting mixed and muddled.
    What can I do? Thanks for any help.

  • Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

    If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
    If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.
