    Hi deaconspeaking,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Try looking for the iPod below the Search field in iTunes. If it doesn't show up below search, the second article provides troubleshooting tips that should help you out.

    You can easily check whether you've the Apple Mobile Device in your computer. 
    Right click 'My Computer' , then Manage => Services and Applications => Services.  Apple Mobile Device is listed in alphabetical order.  If none, it means you've not download iTunes into your computer yet.  If yes, please ensure the Apple Mobile Device is in 'Started' status.
    Good luck

  • Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. when l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Pls help

    Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete the process because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. When l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Please help! How do I restore?

    Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

  • I can not change albums when I plug my Ipod touch into my car.

    When i plug my Ipod touch 3rd gen into my 2010 Scion XD the screen goes white with an icon saying that is plugged in as an accessory. The problem with this is that when an album ends there is no way to flip to a new artist/album or anything without unhooking the ipod. So once you plug the ipod into the car it will only play the album that you already were playing with no option to change it. Is there a setting that i can change so the music touch screen will stay active when plugged into my car so i can flip through my library?
    Thanks

    This can happen if Restrictions are enabled on your iPod Touch and Installing Apps is turned OFF. You'll also find the App Store icon is missing.
    Check Settings > General > Restrictions and either disable restrictions or turn "Installing Apps" ON.

  • Plugged my iPod mini into a new pc, can't move music

    I have plugged in my ancient iPod mini into a new pc that already has iTunes and a library of music that I don't want to lose. I have set this relic to 'manually manage music' and I am unable to move music from my iPod to my iTuens library. Help please.

    Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
    If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
    If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
    You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

    I have a refurbished iPod Touch and it has been working fine with my computer except for sometimes there's a little delay in iTunes picking it up when I plug it in to my computer and now when I tried to plug it in to my computer it has the message that I posted in the title.

    First, make sure iTunes is correctly installed. You may want to reinstall it.

    If iTunes is installed correctly, hold down the volume down and sleep/wake buttons till you see the apple logo, then try again.

  • Plugged iPod Mini Into Wall Adaptor, and NOTHING!

    Ok so my battery died after a few hours (that's a whole other thread) and I put it into my backpack until I came home. I took it out and plugged it into my wall adapter. The screen came down for all of 30 seconds and then went blank! Nothing, nada. I then tried plugging it into the computer via the USB port and still nothing. Not only was there no screen, but iTunes did not open up and my computer could not recognize the USB connection. Right now all I want is for the darn screen to turn on, and then I'll tackle the iTunes issue.
    I'm not sure of the model, but it was purchased in September 2004.
    In the meantime, HELP!
