How come I can't see my Ipod Touch on Itunes?

When I had the 9.2 version (the one before 10), just recently before I changed it to 10, my Ipod Icon wouldn't show up on Itunes so I couldnt sync my ipod or do anything, even though it was plugged and was charging. So, then I was like okay, maybe that's my cue to download the newest version of Itunes. Well once I did that, I could sync and see my ipod again on Itunes for a few days, but just now, I plugged in my Ipod and it's doing the same thing again! It's charging, but I can't see my ipod and its options. So I'm not sure if it's my Ipods problem or maybe it's not compatible to the version? I have the 2Gen Ipod touch. Anyone know?

i too have a 2nd gen Touch and it works fine with iTunes 10.
try this:
(a) download the [_*Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048]
(b) reboot into _*safe mode*_
(c) launch *disk utility* (in applications/utilities), +verify disk+ and +repair permissions+
(d) run the combo
(e) after running the combo, let the Mac reboot normally and +repair permissions+ again.
(f) run +software update+ from the  menu and install any updates offered.
connect your Touch now. what happens ?

Mailboxes on Mac - can i see on iPod Touch 2G?

Recently got an iPod Touch 32GB 2G (2.1.1) and i want to know if there is any way to sync (and therefore see) all the mailboxes i have on my Mac with the Touch?
The only way i can see it working so far is to move the mailboxes from 'On My Mac' to the '.Mac Account' i really don't want to do this. Is there any other way??
Thanks.
PS: i tested with moving one mailbox to the .Mac Account, and it also remained On My Mac... is it possible that it could function this way? as in the same box existing in two places, and when a message gets moved to it (either manually, or with a rule) then it is saved in both places??

pretty much want it to sync. I guess more detail is needed! If i'm using the Mac, and message arrives that is controlled by a rule, then it gets moved to a mailbox that is On My Mac. if i then sync the Touch, only messages that are in the Inbox are sent to the Touch, and any messages that have been moved, i would not be able to see/read/reply to from the Touch.
Maybe i didn't fully understand what you said. When you say 'add them manually' do you mean to add the mailboxes manually on the Touch? i haven't found a way to do that yet. is there a way?
what did you mean by connection?
sorry for the confusion!

Why can't I see my iPod Touch in iTunes

I've carefully followed the trouble shooting guide, re-installed iTunes, restarted the computer and yet the iPod is not being recognized by iTunes, hence I could not add apps and sync them to my iTouch 4th Gen. What else should I do?

No, they use different cables. I have the iPhone 5 which uses the lightning cable and the iPod Touch 4th Gen which uses the 30 pin connector. But I don't think the cable might be the issue since the iPod charges when I insert the cable through the USB port.
I've carefully followed the instructions on the "additional information" page but could not find this
Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig and drag it to the trash. Still I went through the process till the end, restarted the MBP and re-installed iTunes but the device can't still be recognized by iTunes.
I've tried resetting/restoring the device, but got stuck on that part where an arrow and the cable with the word iTunes was displayed on the iPods screen because I could not go any further since it still did not appear in iTunes. Therefore there was no way for me to click the restore button to reset the device.
The only other option for me is to try it on another computer, maybe try it on my office desktop. I hope it somehow resolves the problem. I will make an update of my progress when it happens.

Can't sync my iPod Touch with iTunes, get -50 error message

Does anybody know what -50 means? This pops up when I first plug it into my Mac, and all it says is "cannot be synced due to an unknown error (-50). First thing iTunes tries to do is backup my iPod, then that message turns up. I tried upgrading to the latest iPod software (2.2.1, I think), which didn't help; I'm running iTunes 8.0.2 (I think; that print is light and really small under "About iTunes").
I have not tried anything like restoring the iPod yet-I wanted to check first before doing anything, and the other thing that I noticed is that I can't restart my iPod by holding down the Home key (according to Apple's own support page). I never get the red slider. Any ideas on that?
Thanks so much,
Kathleen

OK, I wound up going to my local Genius Bar, and here's what we did:
1) reinstalled iTunes ...still didn't sync
2) repaired disk permissions...same thing
3) created a new user account on my MacBook and checked to see if my iPod touch would sync then...it did
4) went back to my user account, re-restored my iPod Touch and deleted the iPod backup file...and then it synced. At this point, it looked like it was a corrupted backup file.
When I got home and hooked it up to let it finish syncing, I realized that none of my photos had been transferred to my iPod touch, so I told it to...and the -50 error came up again. Another round of restoring the iPod and deleting the backup file, then I told it to load my photos from the My Pictures folder, rather than from iPhoto (which was the original setting before all this happened)...and it was fine. So my guess is that something in iPhoto 6 is tripping up the iTunes software (or vice versa) and screwing up the backup/sync process. I'll continue to keep an eye on it and see if that holds.
Thanks to Ariel at the Genius Bar in the Apple Store at the Menlo Park Mall, Edison, NJ! You were a great help, and thanks for your patience!

HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I can't see my ipod nano in itunes

I am setting up my new nano and can't see it as an option under devices in ITunes

To see the songs on the iPod when it's connected to the computer, is this what you are doing?
Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Click the little triangle next to the iPod, so that it points down, and you should see a "drop down" list of iTunes media types, indented under the iPod. On of them should be Music, and your playlists (that are on the iPod) should also appear on this list. Select Music, and over to the right are all the songs that are currently on the iPod.
You should be able to see these songs when using the iPod (as an iPod). So, the second question is, how are you playing (looking for) the songs on the iPod? By playlist? By artist? By album? By genre? Some other way...?

Can't see my ipod playlists in iTunes

I created a folder in itunes in order to organize my playlists. As soon as I did that the playlists on my ipod nano disappeared from itunes. I deleted the folder I created (in itunes, that is), together with its playlists and the problem still persists. I just added a new playlist to the ipod and i can't see that either in itunes. When the ipod is disconnected from ipod, I can see the playlists on the ipod but i can't see them in itunes, period. When I add songs to the ipod they just go to the songlist, not to any specific playlist because I can't see any anyways. Help.

The problem is not about updating. When you connect your ipod to itunes, you are supposed to see the playlists that are on your ipod on the computer. In my case, I do not see the playlists that should be on the ipod. When you add a playlist to the ipod you are supposed to see those playlists in itunes. While I do see them on the ipod when I disconnect it from itunes, I do not see them when the ipod is connected to itunes. It is making the process of organizing my music impossible. So the problem is not with automatic or manual updating. The problem is with seeing the playlists in itunes.

CAN'T SEE MY IPODS CONTENT IN ITUNES

When I go into Itunes it show my Ipod but doesn't list whats on my Ipod. Have spent so much time on this. I was clicking and dragging songs into my Ipod but now that it's full I can't delete or add any more music because I can't see the content.

I had some funky problems with viewing my new Nano on a Vista computer. First it detected it, but didn't display it. Then it displayed it but wouldn't let me put music on it.
Although I didn't get a BSOD on my Laptop after reading the issue was related to the software that detects a plugged in Ipod I followed the instructions below. Works fine now
Followed the instructions on this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2280?locale=en_GB and it worked.
