  • IPod does not show in Finder or iTunes

    My 2nd generation Nano won't connect to my Mac. The screen alternates between a screen with a dimmed-out Apple logo, a screen with a message saying to restore using iTunes, and a screen showing a the small charged battery icon and a message saying do not disconnect.
    Of course I can't restore it using iTunes, because the computer isn't recognizing the iPod, and not disconnecting seems irrelevant, since it's not connected in the first place. (I've nevertheless left it plugged into the computer for about 3 hours in hopes it might resolve itself, but it doesn't look like it's going to.)
    The 3 screens alternate at about 1 second intervals. I've tried resetting the iPod and I've tried connecting with a different computer. When I try to reset with the iPod not connected to a Mac, the screen just goes to black. Then if I try reconnecting the USB, I just get the three alternating screens again. (I have the latest version of iTunes, and the iPod software is up-to-date as well. I'm using Snow Leopard on my iMac and Leopard on my laptop.) I've tried restarting the computer. In fact, I'm out of ideas, so I'd be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions.

    Hi CorCakalaka,
    Just to let you know, you're not on your own. My 30GB 5th gen iPod is doing the same, but I'm running on Windows XP. Tried everything in the support pages and nothing worked. Tried on my Nano and no problems. Hopefully someone who has had this problem and sorted it will get in touch (fingers crossed)

  • When I download a new app from the App Store it does not show up on my home screen but I can find it in my settings but out from it says no data

    When I download a new app from App Store and press open when it's complete, it won't do anything, and when I look on my home screens it's nowhere to be found but if I go to settings and look under icloud and usage, I can find them but out from it says no data. I have tried deleting them and reinstalling but that's no working either... Please help me.. Thank you very much:)

    Try resetting the phone. Push both the home and lock button at the same time until it goes off. Keep them pushed until the Apple logo come up...
    Also, try deleting the app and downloading it again.

  • HT4623 My ipod does not show update settings in the About section

    My ipod does not show update settings in the About section how can i  get the update ios5 in order to get facebook on my ipod how can i do this

    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.

    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later

    Hi lindaasw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed?  I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything.  If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:

    Try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • Itunes freezes when connecting and ipod does not show up

    When I connect my nano 3rd gen in windows vista using itunes 9 my ipod does not show up and itunes freezes. the ipod remains with the connected screen and I cannot close out of itunes. Any help would be wonderful... Thanks!!

    I have (finally)solved the problem with my iTunes freezing! Here's what I did:
    1.I backed up my entire music library to an external hard drive.
    2.Then I completely uninstalled iTunes 9 from my computer.
    3.After a re-boot I then completely deleted my entire music library. (this can be a little scary so I double checked my music library back up on the external drive)
    4.I Googled iTunes 8 and found it at
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/
    5. I downloaded it but before I installed it I copied my music library back to my computer. I did not copy everything that was in my original iTunes music folder however, I only copied the music,album art work, applications,games,Tv shoes, and podcasts folders. I placed those folders in a new folder called iTunes on my computer. I did not include any of the iTunes database files eg: .itl / .xml / or .itdb files as these were created in iTunes 9.
    6. Now I opened iTunes 8.2 and added all of my music and other media content.
    7. Next I attached my iPod nano to my computer. Then Windows automaticly open a window asking me if I wanted to scan for problems or continue without scanning. I had windows scan for problems and once that was done my iPod nano began to sync. Oh what joy!
    I think, and this is only a guess based on what I've read here on Apple's discussion pages and my own experience, that there is a problem/conflict or bug with iTunes 9, Windows Vista and the 3rd -4th generation iPod. I will NOT be upgrading to iTunes 9 until Apple has addressed this issue. It seems to me that there are a lot of people having similar issues.

  • Ipod does not show up in I-tunes and does not allow me to Restore

    My Ipod does not show up in I-tunes since I switched from my desktop to the laptop. When I connect to the laptop I-tunes freezes and stops responding. I have tried to update or restore my I-pod to start anew with my laptop but I get a message that says "Firmware update failure, disk write error"! My ipod still works but I cannot update my songs or sync it to the new laptop. Am I totally out of luck or can something be done to save this. Dont these come with a year warranty? Can Apple fix this if it is beyond my help?

    well done pezdzpnzer!
    Unfortunately I am not able to take advantage of the USB 2.0. Is this permanent or did I just have to turn it off originally.
    hmmm. now the initial synch has gone through, we might try experimenting with re-enabling the high speed interface (mentioned at the end of the other document.
    it may also be worth checking up on this document:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    if the problem comes back/persists, it might be worth heading to the Toshiba website and checking for updates for your make and model. on some Toshiba laptops there was a general issue with the USB that was fixed by a BIOS update, and that helped with the ipod connection issues ... but the reports i saw here (a few months ago) didn't mention a specific model as far as i recall.

    Start here.  Is ti normal and expected for the computer to also see the iPod as a comera since that is how you get saved photos from the iPod to the computer.

  • My iPod does not show artists if they're in a compilation album anymore. How do I get them back?

    My iPod does not show artists if they're in a compilation album anymore. How do I get them back?

    You can find the Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
    Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side of the location bar.<br />
    During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.<br />
    If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.<br />
    You can middle-click that Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
    To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
