  • How to restore iPod when it doesn't appear in the Source List?

    About 6 months ago I stupidly wiped my iPod Nano (5th Gen) and reformatted it as fat32. I assumed that when I formatted it back to Mac OS Journaled it would work normally as an iPod again but it doesn't. When it is plugged into my Mac running 10.5.8, it appears on the desktop/mac harddrive (without its individualised nano icon) and it fails to appear in the source list in iTunes (10.2.2).
    I have tried everything I know how to do, including the steps outlined in this support document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
    I need to restore the iPod to factory settings, but need a way to do this not through iTunes seeing as the iPod is not recognised. Specifically, in the following support document I cannot complete step 4:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    One last thing I have tried is duplicating the files (including hidden ones) from a 5th gen nano that does appear in my source list, and placing those files into my apparently invisible nano but this has not made any difference.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I have basically been left with a bricked paperweight (due mostly to my own stupidity!) but would love to be able to use it again.
    Thanks for any help offered

    Hello kismet_kracker,
    What happens if you place the iPod into Disk Mode with it still connected to your Mac?  Does it then show up in Finder as a mounted drive?  Here are instructions for putting your iPod into Disk Mode.

  • My ipod does not appear in the source pane

    I must have done a big mistake as I have got a windows computer at home but plugged my ipod on my mac computer at work. From that day my ipod got empty. I thought going home and plugging it bac in my laptop the problem would it be fixed, but hasn't worked. I have tried any step available from thesupport site. Install and unistall everything about 100 times. The message that keeps appearing when I plug my ipod nano on my computer is: "ITUNES NO PUEDE LEER EL CONTENIDO DEL "IPOD DE XXX". HAGA CLICK EN RESTAURAR PARA RESTAURAR LOS AJUSTES DE FÁBRICA DEL IPOD", which it means I should restore to the factory setting, but once I tried to do it, on one of the steps takes from granteed that my Ipod appears on the soure pane of ITUNES, which it does not ever happen. I have found my Ipod file on the windows system and followed all the steps on that issue, but there has not been any kind of result. I have tried the menu in my ipod to restore it from itself but does not work..well, I have tried anything available from the advices from apple(have spent more than 4 hours on it) but can't get my ITUNES to recognice anything. By the way, I have aslo uninstalled my IPOD and with the CDroom, tryied to installed the whole thing again,..but nothinggg. GOt I tunes version 7. Any advice will be very helpful as I cannot stand going to work on the bus for an hour without my music...and Cannot afford another IPOD at the mo..
    Thanks in advanced.

    I have a very similar problem but I have done the 5 Rs and more---multiple times--and my iPOD and iTunes are just stuck in an endless cycle of Restore and Restart but rather than showing up in the source panel so I can put my music back on, the icon appears and tells me to restore again. I did everything including checking my USB ports etc. in My Computer and my iPOD refuses to get out of this cycle when iTUNES does bother to recognize it. Any suggestions other than the 5 Rs---because they are doing absolutely nothing.

  • IPod doesn't appear in the finder nor on the desktop when connected

    Hi,
    My iPod touch 2nd gen doesn't appear in the finder nor on the desktop when connected, is it normal maybe because its a flash drive and not a harddrive, I don't know...
    By the way, everything is normal with iPhoto and iTunes.
    Sincerely

    The Touch and iPhone do not have disk mode, that is why you can't see it.

  • My ipod doesn't appear with the letters that split up each letter songs, how do i fix it??

    so you know how when you go to music and tap songs. well mine does that but what does not appear on the screen is those letters that divide each letter group of the alphabet. you know it has all the songs starting with the letter a in one place divided by a border letter "A" etc. please help i think its a settings problem not sure, thanks.

    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Since changing to OS 10.7.1. my touch ipod does not appear on the screen or in itunes

    Since upgrading to OS 10.7.1, my touch Ipod (version 4.2.1, model PB528LL) does not appear on the iTunes as a device on the computer screen. It also seems that the ipod is no longer being charged via the USB connection.

  • Itunes will open, but my ipod doesn't appear on the screen

    i plug my ipod in and itunes pops up, my my ipod stuff doesn't! i wait for a bit, but my ipod is kind of frozen and it doesn't have that little sync icon in the corner. i disconect it and try to turn it off, but its frozen, so i leave it overnight and its all normal again. why does it happen?

    You might try resetting the iPod. If that doesn't help, you might need to restore it. See:

  • Where is the source panel?

    In order to restore my iPod (cause its nothing but a pain in the rear!) I have to do the following:
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel and you will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
    yea... where's the source panel????

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

  • I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    This sounds similar to the problem where new purchases will appear in playlists, but not the main music source, suggesting that iTunes is making a hash of the indexes. Somewhat bizarrely the solution for that one seems to be to download the current free Single of the Week, maybe it will help you too.

  • Want to remove a podcast that shows on the ipod itself but doesn't appear in the library under itunes

    I have a podcats on my ipod touch that doesn't appear in the podcast library that I want to remove.  Deleting all the podcasts & replacing them with new podcasts doesn't help.  Any ideas?

    Hi
    Go to the apple.com to download the latest iTunes and ipod updater and install accorindingly, then do a Reset of your iPod i.e. Press "Menu"+"Select" keys. Connect it with your iBook and open iPod updater, hope it will allow you to do a Restore. If failed, then press "Select"+"Play" keys to put your iPod in Disk Mode, connect it back with your iBook, open the iTunes and you will able to see your iPod there. Then open the ipod updater and do a restore. You may need to do a few attempts in order to achieve the solution
