Help!!! where is the ipod disk icon????

ok....so I read the instructions for how to download text files into your ipod like fifty times....and i do everything it says there over and over again...but there is no " ipod disk icon" coming up anywhere. They said it would just appear on your desktop, and that is how you would be able to drag files onto your ipod. I don't know where to drag my files to....where is that ipod disk icon? I tried just dragging them into Itunes and all that, but it doesn't work, obviously. What do I do??? thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See these...

Anyhow, that is just how to do it.
The iPod will appear in My Computer as a drive on windows. What you are referring to is what occurs on Mac OS X.

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

Where did the Secure Site Icon go ?

I know the status bar was removed and an and on bar replaces it but
Where did the Secure Site Icon go ? Will not use FF without it !
I cant find anything about it. ( FF 40b7 ) How do I get it back ?
Not so little things like this will hurt FF. And YES I understand this is beta but come on guys/gals this is IMPORTANT !
I probably just missed something stupid but I could use some help please.

Every financial institution (bank, credit union,...), every news outlet (print/TV/Radio/blog) reaches out to millions of elderdly folks and other non-geeks and tells them to run away as soon as they dont see a Key or Lock on a secured page (or maybe so-called secured page from what I get you are trying to push through).
This is a major Change Management disaster waiting to happen... Not just for Firefox but for every web site using secure transactions. Countless organisations are going to get calls from users telling them, "Your site is not secured, Oprah and CNN told me so".
Go for color scheme or other visual indicator to warn of security level, but absolutely dont lose the icon !

Where is the iPod playlist in iTunes?

Hello dear members,
I have a problem with my iTunes, could someone kindly help me please? My iPod is old. It's the 20GB black and white one from a long time ago. Recently, I bought a new laptop with Windows Vista on it, and I got iTunes version 7. It detects my iPod, and I can put songs on it, but I just don't know where the playlist is! The library playlist is there, but where is the iPod one when I plug it in? It used to show up when I had my old laptop with an old version of iTunes. When I click my ipod, it only has four options: Summary, Music, Podcasts, Contacts. No playlist. Please help!
Thank you

You can only automatically sync playlists using Windows Media Player 0 as far as I know. There's lots of other software out there that can use the Media Transfer Protocol of the Vision:M, but I'm not sure what they can do.
Creative's software is desperately lacking in the playlist sync area, so you're not being a BDU

Hi Franramone,
First, try these five iPod troubleshooting steps, and see if they help with anything:
The Five Rs
There are a few different possibilities of what might be causing a "required file/folder cannot be found" error message when syncing an iPod.
So, let's go ahead and work through some steps to try, one-by-one, and see if anything seems to work for you.
The basic procedure with the following instructions would be to disconnect your iPod from your computer prior to actually performing the task.
Then, when you are complete with that step, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer again, to check if you are still getting the error message. Repeat this kind of sequence as you go onto each next possibility to try:
<hr>
Corrupt Photo Cache folder:
Sometimes the "iPod Photo Cache" folder(s) on your computer can be corrupted in some way, which causes this error message.
Try deleting this folder off your computer:
1 - Go to "START > Search".
2 - Select "All files and folders", and make sure that you are searching over your entire main hard drive.
3 - Then, type "ipod photo cache" in the blank, and click "Search" to begin searching.
4 - When the search is complete, delete any "iPod Photo Cache" folders that you may find on your computer, by pressing the Delete key, or dragging the folder to the Recycle Bin.
<hr>
iTunes needs to be reinstalled:
It's possible that iTunes needs to be reinstalled, perhaps because some required installation files were not loaded properly, or have been deleted.
Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Now, restart your computer once more.
<hr>
Corrupt iTunes Library files:
-- It's possible that there is some sort of corrupt file in the iTunes library, which is causing this error.
When you are getting this error message, does it seem to occur when it hits a particular song(s) in the sync?
Try using the technique described in this article, for help in doing this.
If so, then try tracking down where which song that is, and then attempt to play that song in iTunes.
If you think you've found the culprit, delete it from your iTunes library (with your iPod disconnected), and reimport it into your iTunes again.
-- Make sure that your external hard drive is connected. If you store your iTunes library songs on an ex. hard drive, then make sure that it is connected to your computer, or else you will have files that cannot be found in your iTunes library.
<hr>
USB issues:
This error could also be caused by something with your computer's USB connections with your iPod.
-- First, try connecting your iPod to a rear port, not the front one.
-- With your iPod disconnected, try unplugging all other USB and FireWire devices (except your keyboard and mouse).
-- Update or reinstall your USB drivers. For instructions, see the steps in this article.
-- Also, you could try using a different USB cord. Disconnect your current one from your computer and your iPod, and restart your computer. Now connect the new USB cord (if you have another one) to your computer, and connect your iPod.
<hr>
Firewall issues:
It's possible that your firewall or antivirus software is blocking an iTunes process (like iTunesHelper.exe, for example), from running properly when your iPod is connected.
First, let's determine what Internet security software you have.
If you're not sure, you can go to "START > All Programs", and browse along the list for your security program.
(Make sure to do the following with iTunes closed and your iPod disconnected.)
Here are a couple of firewall/security programs that come to mind, that we have kbase articles (or I have the security program myself) about how to allow iTunes onto it:
If you're using your Windows firewall, then you can use this article to enable iTunes on it:
How to enable iTunes on Windows XP firewall
If you're using McAfee Personal Firewall Plus, then use the instructions in this article to enable iTunes there.
(That article above only mentions "iTunesHelper", but allow anything Apple/iPod/iTunes related on that list... not sure if that is the only one listed there, but look around anyway).
If you are using something else, then usually, you launch the program, and go to some sort of section like "Settings", then go to something that says "Firewall settings", "Internet Permissions", or something similar.
Try to find a list of applications that it "Allows/Blocks".
Then, like normal, enable "iTunesHelper.exe", or "iTunes.exe", and "iPodService.exe" or anything else iTunes/iPod related (again, not sure if there are many things on that kind of list).
Now, after you've enabled iTunes processes on your firewall, restart your computer. Then, check your firewall again, just to make sure that your settings haven't changed back to default, and are still allowing iTunes.
Then, connect your iPod, and see if it syncs with iTunes or not.
<hr>
Let's test something...
If that does not fix your issue, then I would also like to do a little test with how something acts on your computer for you:
With iTunes opened and your iPod disconnected, go to Task Manager (CtrlAltDelete), and click on the "Processes" tab. Here, there ought to be these three processes listed:
iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, and iPodService.exe.
Carefully watch those three processes (if they are all there), and leave your Task Manager up and runnning so you can see what happens.
Now, connect your iPod to your computer.
Do those three processes stay in your Processes area when the iPod is connected? Or does some other strange thing occur?
For example, do either of those applications only stay for a few seconds when your iPod is connected, then promptly disappear?
Now that were done with the test (please describe the results of what happened in a reply), you can move onto some other possibilities:
<hr>
Other causes:
There could also be other things that could cause this error.
For example, if your computer is out-of-date with its Windows Updates, that might be a contributing factor.
You could try enabling disk use in iTunes, then resync your iPod with iTunes, and see if the error still occurs. (for instructions on disk use, check disk use
This could be a digital signing issue on your computer, too. See this MS document on that for details:
Detecting digital signing issues in Windows XP
In addition, I would suggest that you could try reinstalling your iPod's software update files.
See this for instructions:
What to do if iPod can't be updated because the firmware file was corrupt or not found
For some more ideas on "other causes", you could take a look at what is mentioned in this article. (i.e., running Chkdsk on your hard drive, or keeping your computer up-to-date with its downloads).
<hr>
I hope one of those things solves your issue!

Please Help Me Install the Ipod Software...I get errors ;o(

Hello,
I already downloaded the Updater (2005-10-12) and Itunes from this website. I had a USB problem before when I was going through the Ipod setup. But that problem is solved now. When I get asked to connect the Ipod, I connect it using the cable that's provided. It says "Your ipod is now connected". It now asks me if I want to format my ipod and i say yes of course...However, I get a new message that says "error communicating with your ipod" (or something like that).."please disconnect and connect again" which I did...more than a couple of times. I reset my Ipod already and started all over again but nothing happens....
What should I do? Can someone please help me? pls? ...
I have the 20GB ipod (new) and I'm running Windows XP.
Thanks!

hello again...
I got through the ipod set up process...i'm now trying to install itunes and it gives me the 1607 error...i'm now trying to follow the instructions (from one of the threads here) to fix this error and it says:
Fix
To fix this issue, you need to determine the version number of the IsScript engine you need, download it, and install it.
1. Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver from the machine.
2. Right-click on the installation file that you are trying to install and select Properties.
* The typical names for installation files are setup.exe, update.exe, installer.exe, etc.
* Your installation file can be found on the CD where you are running the setup from.
step number 2 is unclear to me. when i go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver, the folder "driver" has only three folders "7", "8" and "11"...which one should I go to then?

Copying dependent files, Where is the application server icon?!?

I have looked at the Dreamweaver help sites and I cannot figure out where the application server icon is! I am currently running CS3 on a mac thats running OSX 10.4, and I'm trying to upload my site from a different computer than I originally had the files. First I expand my files window in the window>files menu. But then I have no idea where the 'application server icon' is which is supposed to re-link all my dependent files I think? Please, anyone can you give me the co-ordinates of this icon?? I will love you forever!
-Thanks,
Dylan
feel free to contact me at [email protected]!

Sounds to me like they are talking about the Connect to Server Icon,

My new 6th generation ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the help guide and the ipod is not recognized anywhere on the computer, not even as an 'unknown device.'

I can't find any answers to this question besides a discussion from 2006 regarding a "SPTD driver installation" with a broken link. I don't think it's the cable because I can still charge the ipod, but the device is not listed in My Computer or in the Device Manager or anywhere. The ports work with other USB cables including my web cam. Help, anyone?

If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure. If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
