How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPod over a network?

Ok So I have an Apple Time Capsule which I use as my router and NAS drive. Though I also plug my iPod into the usb port on it. The iPod is recognized on my computer and over the network easily although how can I get iTunes to recognize it and be able to add music and video?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You can restore from backup since the screen-lock passcode is not restored.

Even though it's physically possible, I doubt an iPod is intended to work that way. Why do you want to do that?

What I believe you're seeing is the disk drive function of your iPod, which is different from the music player function. I'd give up trying to play music from your iPod while connected to a Time Capsule.

HT1351 How do I get iTunes to recognize my ipod classic?

How could apple make it almost impossible to use older ipods with itunes???

The latest iTunes works with my old 3rd gen iPod from 2003, and no doubt works with the original iPod from 2001. So I don't think the problem is iTunes.
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar, which is where the iPod appeared in previous versions. If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod should appear under DEVICES. It does not appear there when you connect it?
When you connect it, does anything happen on the iPod's screen? Does the iPod's battery charge when connected? Does the iPod still work (as an iPod) for listening to its music?

How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPod without losing all of my music?

I keep all of my music on an external harddrive. My computer crashed and once I fixed everything and reloaded all of the software, I tried connecting my iPod. All of my music is on the external harddrive and on my iPod, but I can't get iTunes to synchronize. I don't want to redo all of my playlists. Is there a way to get iTunes to communicate with my iPod without losing anything?

How do I get ITunes to recognize my IPod?

When I plug in my IPod, my computer knows that it's there, but ITunes won't acknowledge it. I think it might need to be updated, but I can't do that either, because the Ipod updater won't recognize it either.

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

My apps are not showing-up in the iTunes library but they are present in the apps folder. How can I get iTunes to recognize their presence?
Library-Apps-All (only three of several hundred appear).
Apps are still present in Users-Music-Mobile Applications
I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro.
Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files. If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud. Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.
