If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Also maybe this. I Am still not clear about your problem

  • My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden

    Hello, My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden.  Today before I went running I downloaded some new podcasts to listen to.  I plugged in my iPod and for some reason iTunes could not recognize my iPod nano.  I run iTunes on Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro and have successfully synced my iPod before with this system.  I do not know why it doesn't work now.
    Per the instructions on Apple Help, I went through the troubleshoot steps (i.e., restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, updating iTunes, etc.).  When all that failed, I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but this still does not work.
    I cannot afford to purchase help through Apple, but I like running and I like listening to new stuff when I run.  Can someone please help me on this board?  I am pretty good with walking myself through simple computer steps.
    Thank you in advance!

    Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

    Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, itunes 10.7.0.21, ipod 5th gen ios 8.3. I know I am not running the latest version of itunes for the

    lastest version of itunes. That message would come up everytime I was charging said ipod with itunes open. I just updated to iso 8.3
    and now I don't get that message anymore when I have itunes open.I tried turning off ipod/computer/restarting, nothing. I tried going

    3. Click End Process.
    4. Click Yes.
    5. On the Start menu, click Run. Note that the Run windows may appear behind the Windows Task Manager window.
    6. Enter this text (including the quotation marks):

  • Itunes does not recognize my Ipods

    I am running Windows Vista 64bit.  All of a sudden, my itunes does not recognize my Ipod touch or Ipod Nano.  As a matter of fact, I am not sure they ever connected since I installed 10.5.1.  I have tried to uninstall and install itunes like Apple suggests several times but I get the same result.  I have had the installation fail by not installing Apple Mobile Device Support so I somehow managed to install it eventually.  However, the result is the same.  Still not recognizing my IPODs.  The Ipods are recongized by Windows as I can see them in the Windows Explorer with no trouble.
    I tried to go back to 10.3.x and it did not work because it did not recognize something created from a newer version of itunes.  So although it looked like it installed, it never opened.
    How do you fix this?  Is there a way to install an older version of Itunes without loosing any data?

    I believe my problem is related to an incomplete uninstall of itunes.  I folled the directions in the Apple support pages but I have a feeling those directions are not complete.  I found this page on the interntet on how to completely remove itunes:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
    and I was wondering if anyone had used this or something similar.  Anyone know anything about this procedure?

  • Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano

    itunes does not recognize my ipod nano 6, it is a used one and has 1600 plus songs, it shows the songs, but won't let me do anything with them

    I had this exact problem. I had to plug the iPod into a USB port on the back of the computer tower not the fron ones. Hope this helps.

  • The new version of iTunes does not recognize my Ipod-prior to this version, had no problem, Ipod showed up as list under the Imac library.  Now getting synch must erase setting! Help

    The new version of iTunes does not recognize my Ipod-prior to this version, had no problem, Ipod showed up as list under the Imac library.  Now getting synch must erase setting! Help

    well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine  so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

  • Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit

    Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit. Is this a driver issue? Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?
    Message was edited by: Mark DiGiacomo

    hi sally,
    see if this user tip by Yorkwill helps:
    +In the end what works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:+
    +1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in+
    +and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really+
    +matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).+
    +2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:+
    +o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)+
    +o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).+
    +o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!+
    +You should find the driver info in a sub folder of+
    +C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B+
    +Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder+
    +name into note pad – you’ll need it later)+
    +If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not+
    +been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.+
    +3. Locate the ipod-camera device:+
    +o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >+
    +Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager+
    +o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as+
    +‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.+
    +4. Update the driver:+
    +o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on+
    +‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.+
    +o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’+
    +o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check+
    +‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.+
    +In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder+
    +containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example+
    +above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), +
    +then click Next.+
    +You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue+
    +installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come+
    +to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.+

  • Itunes does not recognize my ipod

    Since im using Itunes to sincronize my Ipad 3 Gen, my Ipod Classic 160 Gb its not recognized by Itunes in my laptop windows 7 64 bit.

    The first thing is does windows recognize the ipod? If not chekc your cable's connection to the tower and your ipod. If windows still doesn't recognize it, you could have a bad cable or connector on your iPod. You could also try a different fire wire/USB port.
    If the connection is good and windows does recognize the iPod, does iTunes just not allow you to transfer to the iPod? By this I mean, can you see the iPod's name under the Library, Store, etc. in the iTunes window? If this is the case then you need to associate the iPod with that computer. This will cause you to delete all the files on your iPod and update them using the current track list.
    If neither of these are the case, let me know.

  • ITunes does not recognize my iPod Nano Gen. 4

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina with the latest version of iTunes installed on it and an iPod Nano Gen. 4. The problem that I have is as follows: My Mac does recognize my iPod but just as storage device. iTunes does open when I plug in my iPod but I cannot find any iPod icon on iTunes and therefore cannot upload anything to the iPod via iTunes.
    I have performed a reset procedure on the iPod, restarted my Mac, and tried out different USB cables and ports but iTunes still does not recognize my iPod.
    How do I solve this problem?
