How do i get the ipod to mount in itunes, it is seen by disk manag. not exp

ok i have worked on this piece for the last 7 hours and to no avail. I've tried the 5 r's five times, I've copied the usbinf.inf driver to the windows dir, even though it was already there. I've tried to get the explorer to recognize the device, no dice, (although it does show up in the management directory as a disk drive with an actual "ipod" label. I've changed the disk name to "M:" and that didn't work. Formatting is not an option b/c the disk is not enabled or so computer managment says. I've tried reinstalling itunes and itunes updater several times. I even downloaded the applications again just to make sure they weren't corrupt.
The message i usually get out of the updater is
"unable to mount ipod." ,(after a wait that has made me age several years).
Im at a loss not only b/c of the time ive spent trying to work this out, and all the forums I've read, but the reason all this started is the ipod fried my last motherboard, a Gigabyte technologies 8KNXP ultra REV 1, when i plugged the ipod into the usb ***!!! I've tried everything short of DOS prompt (of which I have limited understanding) to try and get her working, any suggestions?!?!?

Try following the steps in this article, and try to go about restoring your iPod again. See if you can't get it to work...

Also, it never hurts to try to put the iPod into disk mode whenever you're going to restore it.

  • How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?

    How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?
    With Itunes 9 like earlier versions u have the option to group compilations for browsing, having the effect of not putting a huge list of artists in your view by artist list because they played one song on a compilation you have got. With my old Ipod classic this option was also available through the setting menu. Meaning my ipod exactly mirrored my itunes lists.
    I have recently purchased a ipod touch 32 and can find no settings that allow me to do the same. My artist list has risen from 200 to 400 because of this and makes finding albums by artists very annoying.
    I have looked on the itunes software and can find no mention of syncing this ability to the ipod either.
    Help
    Mike

    Yes i do this to group compilations in itunes.
    But when i then sync to the ipod touch the albums come up under compilations as desired but the artists also appear in the artist list which is not.
    On my old ipod classic it had a setting to group compilations the same as in itunes which would then remove these odd artists from the artist list.
    I can find no equivalent setting on the ipod touch
    Cheers

    Hi TheGuru146,
    It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    iPod nano (7th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

    Nastyassink-
    Apple's Camera Connection Kit includes both an SD adapter and a USB adapter.  You can use an SD card or an adapted Mini SD card with the SD adapter.  You can use a USB thumb drive with the USB adapter, as well as a USB adapter for other cards such as Compact Flash.  (Some card adapters draw too much current and require a powered USB hub to work.)
    It is required that the camera card or thumb drive be formatted as MS-DOS FAT, just as if it had been formatted in a camera.  Photos and videos must be in a folder named DCIM, and have names consisting of 8 characters plus suffix, just as they would have been named in a camera.
    Some video formats are not compatible with the iPad video player and must be converted on your computer.  (The iPad can read M4V, MP4 and some MOV files.)

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    My hard  drive crashed.  How do I get the music I purchased from Itunes back?

    Thanks Roaminggnome,
    I just spoke with a friend who like you is into Apple and he just walked me through the Cloud.  At least I was able to get those songs back. 
    Thanks.
    Do you know --- the last time I tried to back up my itunes it asked for 106 cd's do you how to direct the backup to the external drive?   By the way I found 3 back up cds from 2010 and 1 of the 3 cd's had an error.

    Genius Recommended Song List
    I think I figured out how to access the genius Recommended Songs sidebar. This should help those of you who, like me, use genius to find new music from the iTunes Store, instead of just to create genius playlists. It appears that you CAN access my beloved Recommended Song list from iTunes 11...only NOT from your library's Songs page, but through the Albums or Artists pages.
    1. Click on a song you want to see Genius Recommendations for so the song row is highlighted.
    2. Go to either the Albums or Artists page by clicking the appropriate button at the top of the library screen.
    3. Click "In The Store" at the top right of the new popup screen:
    On the Albums Page:

  • I updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?

    i updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?

    Without a backup on iCloud, there needs to be another device using the same @icloud address that is syncing to the notes.  Without that, there is no way to go back in time to create a backup before performing a major update.

    See the end of:
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • I redeemed my $25 itunes gift card on a new account with no email address how do I get the credit on my regular itunes account?

    I got a $25 itunes gift card and tried to redeem it on my regular itunes apple ID account and I had a message saying the code was invalid so I made a new account and redeemed it on that account but it doesnt have a valid email address and I cant even remember what it was how do I get the credit from wherever it is onto my regular itunes apple ID account?

    Qauzzy,  The credit was applied to the account you used at the time you redeemed the card.  There is no way to transfer the credit to another account.
    You might as well just spend the $25 on the new account, and then stop using it and go back to your regular account..
    For future reference, do not start a new account just because you have a problem with the code.  Rather, follow the suggestions in this document: iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes
