I cannot get my old ipod shuffle to sync because it does not show up in my devices list!!! I have tried letting it die and then plugging it in and still no success!! HELP!!!

To sync via wifi you first have to connect to computer via USB and check the box in the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes that sync via wifi.
Note you can only sync with one computer. If you change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the second computer.

Does the device show up in Windows Explorer when connected?
Have you tried going into Control Panel > Programs & Features > iTunes > Repair?
Have you proved the cable with a different device, or the device's connectivity with a different computer?

I am new to this. I downloaded Itunes and have a new ipod shuffle. I cannot get it to sync. Downloaded music to computer but now I am stuck! Help?!

I downloaded Itunes for 64 bit OS windows. Bought a shuffle, downloaded music to computer, but cannot get shuffle to sync. Looked at FAQS it says to go to "DEVICES" on Itunes store, but I don't even see that anywhere. Can someone help?

Where did you download it from and how ? If you downloaded it from the ibookstore in the iBooks app then it should be on the bookshelf back in the iBooks app (tap the Library button at the top left of the store if you are still in it). Only ibooks that you buy from the ibookstore or your computer's iTunes will show in the cloud for redownloading in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (and they will only show there whilst they remain in your country's store).
If you were using a site on Safari then unless you specified an app to download it into then it will only be in Safari's cache and will you won't be able to access it. If you did buy it via Safari then depending upon the site that you bought/downloaded it from then it might have digital rights management on it that will tie it to that store's apps/ereaders - if the site has its own app in the app store then download that and you might be able to download the book directly in it.
There is a FAQ for iBooks here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

IPhone4 will not sync and does not show up in a device list.

My son's phone was originally listed under my Apple ID.
He has since created a new one and says he removed it.
He is now trying to go under mine again but Itunes does not recognize his phone is plugged in.
I tried checking his other id and it doesn't show any devices registered.
I read on here that it should show any device and when it was registered so you couldn't do the switch within 90 days.
I also checked mine and it doesn't show registered on there either.
I just want to sync it with my apple ID.
We have tried all the troubleshooting steps on here with the phone as well as uninstalling and reinstalling itunes on the Mac.... and NOTHING.
Any suggestions????
Thank you!

TS4006 I lost my iPad and it's not showing up on the devices list of the Find my iPhone App

I lost my iPad and now it's not showing up on the Find my iPhone App devices list. I just have my iPhone and my iPad on it. I know that the app is enabled on my iPad b/c I have tested it from my iPad in the past. Any ideas why it's not showing up on the devices list? And how can I get it back on my device list so I can find it?

Is the app compatible with the iOS on the phone? Do you have automatic downloads enabled on the phone?

I have a fourth gen iPod Shuffle and I cannot find anywhere how to manage and view songs on the ipod, in iTunes 11 there is no intuitive way to view the songs at all. I guess Jobs thought, "why would anyone want to do that..lets make it impossible"

I have an ipod shuffle...4th gen.
I use iTunes 11. When ipod is
connected is shows but there is
no intuitive way to view and manage
songs on the product.
under the icon is only RECENTLY PLAYED and RECENTLY ADDED.
Click on the icon and then select music up top of the app does NOT
show you what is in the ipod but what is stored in itunes.
I am now thinking this was a Steve Jobs joke he played on customers.
Does anyone know a definative way to view and manage songs or
a third party app that permits it.?

I hav the same problem. When I "Control" click on the small triangle to the left, I do not get an option to pick Music.

I have an old ipod touch, and have just purchased a new 4th Gen one. How do I get my Apps from the old one to the new one. I've had to wipe the hard drive on my Pc so they aren't in my I tunes.

- Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Try making a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
- Connect your new iPod and restore the iPod from that backup if you wish.

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
