HT4236 When I plug my IPOD into my Mac, no device image appears, it doesn't seem to recognize that I have my I POD connected.
I have an IPOD Tough and a MAC. When I plug my IPOD into the MAC, no IPOD device icon appears on the MAC. Additionally when I go to Itunes, there is no IPOD device listed. How can I get the MAC to recognize the IPOD?

When I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?
when I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?
Try a different USB port on your computer. If your using a PC, the port on a keyboard is not strong enough; plug it into a USB port on the computer tower.
Be sure to wait awhile; mine sometimes takes a couple minutes to connect.
Another tip would be to open i-tunes before plugging ipod in.
If it still doesn't work, try resetting your ipod by turning the hold button on and off, then pressing and holding the center and menu buttons until the Apple logo shows up. When ipod returns to main screen, plug it into the computer again.
If nothing works, you may have a bad connection cord. -
I have music on my PC that I would like to transfer to my Mac. I am getting rid of my PC and don't want to lose all the music on it. I was wondering if there is a way to sync the music on old computer to my new computer. I tried to sync my Ipod and Ipad to the Mac but because it is a new Itunes it was going to erase everything on my Ipod and Ipad. How do i avoid losing all music and apps on both of my devices?
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar. -

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized. The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect. The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable. When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine). There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo. Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue? I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?
that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes. -

When I plug my iPod into the computer, itunes won't come up on the screen and my iPod is not recognized anymore and it use to be. Please help because I can't sync it at all because it won't show up as a device on the right hand side of itunes.
Try
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
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

When I plug my ipod into my computer the computer dosnt read it and I get a messege saying that the device is drawing to much power. How do I solve this problem???
I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen. What iPod model do you have?
When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
At one point i got a message that it was corupted.
Where and when did this message appear? -
