iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
If you are unable to get the device into Disk Mode, it's likely that the iPod needs servicing. The Hard Drive is probably shot.

  • IPod not showing up on computer or in iTunes

    My iPod mini (It's the older version of iPod mini in the darker colors) recently stopped showing up on my iMac and iTunes. It charges, but since it doesn't show up, I can't add music or anything.
    I already looked at the support page Apple has for this problem and I tried everything and nothing helped me. The only thing I didn't try was resetting my iPod, which I don't think will work because not only does my iPod not show up, but neither does my sister's and my mom's.
    My sister has the same model of iPod mini as mine, and my mom has the slightly newer mini (with the brighter colors).
    Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this problem? I gave up on it for awhile, but now I really need it resolved. Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
    If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.

  • Ipod not showing on the computer, but still charging

    Basically... I plugged my iPod into the computer a few days ago, and nothing happened- usually itunes opens automatically, but it didn't this time, so I opened up itunes to see what was happening, and the ipod wasn't showing. I checked in Finder, but there was no ipod there either.
    I've read through all the literature about these sorts of problems, but the strange thing is that my ipod is showing as charging- so it's obviously got some sort of connection to the computer going on, even though it's not shoing up on the computer screen.
    I bought my MacBook not long ago, and before, I had a PC... so my iPod is configured for running on Windows... I don't know if this affects this problem or not, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
    Any help would be much appreciated, cause I'm totally lost here! Thanks in advance

    I don't know if the ipod still works with my old windows laptop- wouldn't it erase all the data if I plugged it in to an empty itunes library? :/
    And uhm... no, basically. It's not showing up on anything on the macbook, though on the ipod screen it says it's charging, which is what's quite puzzling.
    Yeah, my ipod was transferring music until about a week ago or so, so I thought it probably wasn't that, but better safe than sorry!
    The ipod itself seems to be fine- I was listening to it this morning, no problems at all. I guess it could be the cable- but I don't have another ipod to try on my macbook, if that's what you meant.
    I'll see if I can go into the nearest Apple store sometime this week and see if they have anything to say about this!
    Anyway thanks for the reply!

  • IPod not showing in my computer or ITunes

    I have had my IPod video 30Gb since Christmas 2005 and have had no problems at all with it until now... The last time I connected it to my PC it just showed the battery charging symbol and it never appeared in ITunes. I am doubly confused because my husband has the identical model (albeit 3 months younger) and his still works fine. I have tried resetting my IPod, using a different USB cable/port, reinstalling software and nothing. I would like to try restoring my IPod but don't know how to do that if it isn't recognised by ITunes.
    Has anyone else had this problem; if so how did you solve it?

    Hey!
    Have you seen this yet.....

  • Ipod not bieng recognised by computer or i-tunes

    I need some help please! my ipod was fine just a couple of days ago but just recently my ipod would not connect to itunes or my computer. Now all my ipod does is charge off the computer but nothing else. i have followed all the steps in re-installing, updating, restarting, etc; but NOTHING works! any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    My mini just started working, I'm not sure how though. I had been tryin to reset it for a while, among many other things,(holding menu and select down for 6 to 10 seconds) but it was not working. I tried restoring, I don't think I did it and I had been trying to do updates for a while. The last thing I did was go to the "/support/ipod" site and stumbled into the software update site and followed the instructions as best I could. The I connected the ipod and waited for a few seconds, then I held held menu and select down and the menu came up! I was amazed! I hope this may help someone, I have got to go to sleep now.

  • Ipod not recognised in my computer or i tunes

    tried uninstall and reinstall i tunes twice no luck, read discussion about windows recognising i pod in my computer under usb device - not there- saw article about updating drivers telling me to go to run program from start and giving dode to input which opened device manager clikd plus sign to expand usbports - articl asked if red light next to my device right clik to do somthing or other mine was a yellow flash so i right clikd and one of the options was to find and update driver this worked job done im back in business.
    im glad i didnt take apples help advice and try the three arrses because they forget to tell you that this wipes your 120 gb of music a small detail and for me it was a years work moving it from record to ipod format and naming all the tracks which i didnt particularly want to do again. Phew what a relief! thanks for nothing apple! but im not bitter i love my ipod its not the wheel nuts its the nuts behind the wheel as they say. now i can get on an finish filling it up all ineed to do now is find out how to change the name of the ipod good luck keep trying everything except the support advice from apple- power to the people

    In my case the problem started with latest update (10.01.022). After the update I haven't been able to connect my Ipod 5G or my kids brand new Ipod Touch 4G.
    I have removed Itunes and all other Apples software, reinstalled Itunes+Quicktime. I have disabled and enabled USB Mass Storage in Device manager. Tried with two different cables, 5 different USB-ports... Everything, but nothing helps.
    I noticed also, that normal USB-memory stick doesn't work any more on my computer
    We are not alone with this problem. E.g. google search for:itunes does not recognize windows 64 gives 72300 hits for last week only!!!!
    It is obvious that the Itunes update has a bug, and I hope Apple comes with a fix asap.

  • Ipod not showing in Itunes or My PC

    My ipod wont show on My COmputer or I tunes. I recently connected it to a MAC and disconnected it wrong. I have tried everything on the support section but nothing seems to work. Do you have any ideas????

    I had this happen once when I got impatient for it to show up and used the Windows "Safely Eject Hardware" wizard to get it disconnected. I had to reboot the PC in order to see it again. Have you rebooted the PC?

  • I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which died,when I open my iTunes it does not show the new iPod, and refuses to allow me to sync my existing library, the new iPod does not show in my computer only on devices, any suggestions ?

    Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?

    Hey there longislandmacca,
    It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:

  • Ipod shuffle not showing in my computer

    I have the same problem everyone else and none of the antidotes or fixes seem to work for me. My ipod shows up in the device manager as an ipod but shows as other device. Also the ipod doesnt show in my computer at all. I keep getting a cant "find driver" but yet I have the drivers in system32 I meet all the requirments and my USB ports work fine. I know these are the right drivers because I downloaded my ipod on my parents pc{which is the same as mine} and everything worked fine. Somehow the USB ports are not directed to get the driver or the path has changed. Should reinstall my operating system(windows xp home)??? Please help

    My computer supports two Shuffles (but not at the same time). When they're plugged-in they don't show up in "My Computer" but in the Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager they're recognized simply as "Apple iPod USB Device" with no driver installed. They, nonetheless, work just fine and are recognized by iTunes in its Source List. I wouldn't worry too much if your computer has a problem recognizing your Shuffle -- the important thing is to get it working with iTunes.

  • Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it

    Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it but it dosent show up under devices so i cant sync any music!!the screen on the ipod would usually say "connecting"or"do not disconnect"but it dosent say that anymore!!Ive been trying to fix it for DAYS but i cant find a good enough solution.PLZ HELP!!(p.s. i have a 4th generation nano)

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipod touch not showing up in 'computer'

    My ipod 4g is not showing up in 'computer' on Windows 7. It shows up in iTunes, but not in computer. I tried updating itunes and ipod, still no luck. I need it for my pictures, and iCloud is too complicated to use easily.
    Please help!!

    We have 16 pupil iPads at our school supervised by a Mac Air and we can't see the photos on any of them on the Mac, a Windows 7 or an XP machine. The unsupervised machines used by the teachers are fine. Is this a common problem? If so, is there any way around it not involving PhotoStream?

  • My ipod not recognized by the computer or itunes?

    Ok, the iPod works fine playing music and watching videos and everything else it is supposed to, and it charges fine. But when i plug it up my PC to sync new music, the screen on the iPod does like normal and goes to the gray and orangeish screen that says Connected, then immediately says Disconnecting iPod and shows the little progress bar as if you had ejected it. How can it do this on it's own before anything has recognized it?
    I have done everything that the Support on here has said, the 5 r's and all that, and nothing. Checked device manager on my computer and it actually says that is is plugged up and recognized, but has a yellow exclamation point beside it. The properties of it says this error...
    "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)"
    These errors occurred two days again until now, i have made no recent updates on my computer or iPod to have damaged anything but these problems randomly occur. it's really odd and if someone could help me it would be great.

    Have you carefully worked through each and every suggestion in this Apple support document?
