HT1329 I cannot see my iPod in My Computer to transfer my iTunes on to

I am trying to move my iTunes to a new laptop. I have followed the instructions in the article above and all was going well until I try to copy the iTunes folder on to my iPod to transfer it.
I cannot see my iPod in 'My Computer'! Any ideas?

Try this:
Plug in your iPod,
1. Right click My Computer >> Manage and select Device Manager in the left tab.
2. Click Portable Devices >> right click Apple iPod >> Uninstall
3. Unplug and plug your iPod, now wait for windows to re recognize your ipod [ In Device Manager, you will see the new recognized Apple Ipod ]
4. Press F5 to refresh your windows explorer and see if your Apple iPod will show up with a camera icon.
Otherwise, refer to these articles:

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe. They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud). You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

I cannot update my iPod touch (iOS 4.2.1) because itunes (11.01) says its verion is the newest, which is defenitely not true.

HT1296 my computer crashed and I had to reinstall itunes and now I cannot sync my ipod with my computer

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes. Now I cannot sync my iPod with my computer. Any suggestions?

Was this issue ever resolved?
Ditto for me! I am so upset because about 15 years, I've had the same old Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player which worked perfectly fine until the day Gigabeat (the software) upgraded to a Vista-compatibility program which made the MP3 go haywired!! I couldn't get the MP3 player (again) to work as normal prior to the update. Then, two years later, the business no longer supports MP3 players, nor does it invest in software patches! Now I have a failed equipment ... though it still plays, but just won't let me work the controls to choose or select tracks! I can only operate the on/off button on the Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player! AND, concidentally, the battery seems to shorten (lessen)! Interesting...
Then, I decided okay, I had enough...I can't play over 5.000 songs just to return to start; I decided to purchase the Apple iPod Classic 160 GB Silver! I've had it only since March 2012. It worked wonderfully at first. It took me months to put all the music from my CDs to this magical device. And, then, all of a sudden, my computer CRASHED (ironically in JUNE 2012!!) and lost all on the hard drive ... perhaps it is not ironic afterall.
Here's a tall quesion to Apple manufacturer, are they preparing us to confiscate our equipment? It sure seems that way to me!
No support from Toshiba (which, by the way, are currently investing in so-called "green energy in nuclear projects" in the state of Texas), nor is there any support by Apple ... Interesting! Sorry for babbling. But I'm tired of big money making corporations putting on the bluffer masks on the public! Something just ain't right! Hold tight to your vinyls, tape decks, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs... This may be just another whim to making big time money!

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

Cannot get my ipod gen 2 to be recognized by itunes, and computer shows it as an external drive f... help?

I cannot get the ipod gen 2 to show as something to sync to the songs I have loaded into itunes. I also only see the ipod as disk f, like it was a travel drive. Help. My daughter wants to get a newer Ipod, but if I can not get this one to work, why would I want to bother? Someone please help.

to a hard factory reset of your device first. if that dont work try updating itunes software. if that dont work try different cables to see if the one your using is faulty. or it could simply be that your device is on its last life. it happens. but resetting your device to factory settings and restoring it should tke care of things. FOR NOW!

HT1329 Can I use my iPod to move my library with new iTunes 11.0? If yes, how??

can my iPod still be used to move my entire library from my old PC to my new laptop? I updated iTunes to 11.0, and the interface is completely new and different, and the previous instructions no longer work...

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Cannot see my USB on my computer

I have a 16 Gigabyte integral USB, I use it to store important collage works, however recently I used this USB device to try out the windows 7 ready boost and it was working fine until a few days ago when I want to update my collage documents that i realised
i could not see the USB on my computer. I have tried to uninstall all the USB devices from device manager and it still didn't work. I have also tried other similar techniques but no success. Any help would be much appreciated.

USB storage is slower than RAM. ReadyBoost only helps if your computer doesn’t have enough RAM. If you have more than enough RAM, ReadyBoost won’t really help.
1
Insert the USB drive that has the copy of ReadyBoost on it that you want to remove.
2
Click the "Start" button and then click the "Computer" or "My Computer" link.
3
Scroll to the "Device with removable storage" section and locate the USB drive that has ReadyBoost installed on it.
4
Right-click on the drive. From the resulting menu, select the "Properties" option.
5
Click the tab titled "ReadyBoost."
6
Click the option titled "Do not use this device." When you are finished, click "Apply," followed by "OK." ReadyBoost is deleted from the drive and the available space can now be used for extra storage.
Can you see your USB Device in diskmanagement ?
start - run - diskmgmt.msc
