I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC. I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it. How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well?

I can´t sync my iPod 3rd Generation with iTunes library

Hello, I´ve been trying for a while to sync my iPod with my iTunes library on my PC. It does show up on Windows as a drive and iTunes seems to know there is a device plugged in but then a message appears: "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because an invalid response was received from the device" I´ve tried several solutions, including: restarting the iPod Service, restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, emptying my Temp directory and restarting and changing my device´s Drive Letter. On rare occasions, when I give it another try, I manage to get the iPod recognized, but when I enter the iPod menu, the sync button appears grayed out or if I can click it and attempt to synce the iPod, it seems to happen in the computer, but no changes are made on the iPod. I´ve tried syncing only music and only "selected music and tracks" but no setting seems to be transmitted to the iPod. The iPod shows the "charging" icon but never the "syncing" icon. I hope somone can help me. I have also tried syncing over Wi-Fi, and in the iPod, I can see the Pc but it appears grayed out.
And, to my outrage, random songs have been dissapearing from the iPod randomly. It sounds weird but maybe it is because of iOS 5. I have an iPod 3rd Generation and iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). Both iTunes and my iPod say my software is up to date and maybe the iPod is too old for further updates but I only want to get my new iTunes songs into my iPod. Please somebody help me. Thanks very much!

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I can not get my IPOD classic to be recognized on my laptop

I have a new dell laptop and can not connect my IPOD classic to my iTunes library...the computer indicates that it does not recognize the IPOD at all...very frustrate...

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

I can't hear the music on my IPOD 60Gig 5th generation and can not see my videos

I can not hear the music, I can not see the videos on my IPOD 5th generation. I have restored it to the original settings and it still does not work.

That's likely an indication or one or more hardware failures of the iPod. You'll want to get the iPod serviced in order to gain full functionality of it again or start saving for a new iPod.

IPod shuffle 2nd Gen....Can not see in iTunes or Windows

Bought two iPods,one a Nano works fine the other a shuffle does not.
I can not see it in either iTunes or Windows,it does appear to be charging via the USB Port (Lights Blinking etc) but nothing else.
As I can not see it in iTunes I can not reformat or do any of the other fixes sugested by Apple.
Now silly me I bought the items secondhand but unused so cant take this back to shop!
Help,its really teeing me off!
Thanks!

Bought two iPods,one a Nano works fine the other a
shuffle does not.
I hope you're not connecting them to your computer
simultaneously ... if so, connect one at a time.
No connecting one at a time.
I can not see it in either iTunes or Windows,it
does
appear to be charging via the USB Port (Lights
Blinking etc) but nothing else.
WHICH lights are blinking? The only normally
blinking light should be orange...showing that it's
in data mode AND that Windows recognizes it
(assuming, again, that you haven't connected both
iPods at the same time).
It should show up in the system tray...
Orange light flashes,does not appear in systems tray or in My Computer.
As I can not see it in iTunes I can not reformat
or
do any of the other fixes sugested by Apple.

Answer the questions I posed, then we'll move on...
Thanks for the reply !
