How do I re-mount the iPod after unmounting?

This may be a silly or over asked question but I don't know the answer and it is troubling.
After I copy music to the iPod and then 'eject' the iPod, there are times that I realize I wanted to move more music over but I can't find a way to have iTunes/Mac bring the iPod back online unless I remove the connector and then reinsert it. For such a cool device I would think there is a better way than that.
Is that the only way to do it or is there a trick or tip?

The easiest way is to close iTunes and reopen it, not
the most elegant solution but effective.
Agreed and thank you.

    Hello ListenIt,
    While the following was written for the iPhone, the process should be the same on your iPod Touch.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • TS3694 I am trying to restore my ipod and it stopped moving before the restoration was completed. How do I re-set the ipod. I can't turn it off.

    How do I turn off I pod touch?   The restore screen is stuck

    Thanks for the assistance.  I was able to restore my I pod after letting the battery run down.  I then synced the I pod to my new computer.  Most of the songs moved from the cloud to the actual I pod drive.  But, many of them did not.  I tried downloading them from the cloud on my I pod, but this didn’t work.  Will I be able to restore the missing songs?  Thanks, Cleveland.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You will probably need to create an apple Id for you grandson, so you can call that ID instead of yours.

    Sambino,
    You should be fine. Just make sure that you download and install the P2 drivers for your PB. Also, if possible transfer directly to your external. P2 cards can eat up a lot of space very quickly and you don't want to overburden your system drive.

  • How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

    How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

    First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone
    I am selling my Portege R830-10Q so I want to restore it to factory settings (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
    I have successfully brought the laptop to factory settings by using the _TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard_ and choosing *Recovery of Factory Default Software (Recover to out-of-box state)*. However, at the end of the recovery process and after everything is re-installed I was not able to TURN OFF the laptop. I was only given the option of restarting it. After restating it, the Windows set-up process starts.
    I don't want to set-up Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows set-up for the person who buys the laptop from me. How can I switch off the laptop after the system recovery without having to set up Windows?
    I'd really appreciate your help.
    Regards
    Pedro

    When recovery procedure is finished and you are asked for restart just press power button and switch it off. I think it only thing you can do.
    Anyway, why not to start Windows and go through setup option. New owner can change this basic settings anyway. As username put Admin and language and keyboard can be set as default.
    For instance, if you have German recovery image set everything to German. New owner can change it anyway.

  • The Updater cannot "Mount" the iPod?

    everytime I turn on, reset or plug in the iPod, the Apple comes up for like 10-20 seconds, then the folder with exclamation point comes on. When it's plugged in, it will shortly connect to the computer, then it will automatically reset and go back to the apple and so on and so forth. When I tryed using the latest updater, it said that it couldn't "Mount" the iPod, anyone?
    thanx,

  • I have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipods. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone?

    i have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipod touches. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone or rather using my apple id? Is this possible? Does each device need its own apple ID and/or icloud email?

    Try unchecking your phone number and email address (if present) under You can be reached by FaceTime (iMessage) at in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime on their devices.  Also uncheck their email address (if present) on your phone.
    Otherwise have them use separate Apple IDs for these services (tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with a different ID).  You can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.
