I-pod shuffle 1 will not show up in i-tunes or my computer - HELP!!!

I have the first version of the i-pod shuffle and was using version 9 of i-tunes without any problem until the computer died - the hard drive had to be replaced.
I have reloaded the software for the i-pod and i-tunes but when I connect the i-pod it does not show up on 'My Computer' and does not show up in i-tunes. A message does appear when I first plug the i-pod in asking me whether I want to overwrite the library on the i-pod with the library on i-tunes but beyond that it does not seem to register it's existence.
Furthermore I tried the suggestion of removing the i-pod, stopping the service through the i-pod device properties and then re-connecting the i-pod. When I do this the i-pod appears in 'My Computer,' however when I click to start services or open i-tunes, the i-pod dissapears again?
So many people seem to have this and related problems but there never seems to be a solution? Re-setting, re-starting and re-installing does nothing either.
Please help!

have you tried updating the fix version or the iTunes 9.1? they say it can recognize the 1st gen.

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.
merry christmas!

During the updation of 10.7 version of Itunes on my iphone 4s, my phone has gone into recovery mode & is not showing up in i Tunes nor in my computer (windows xp). What shall i do so that my phone gets connected & running??

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

HT1414 my ipad mini will not charge from wall socket and it will not show itself on i tunes via my pc... i have also substituted my power charger from my i-phone to no avail.

my daughter's i-pad mini will not charge up from the wall socket and it will not show itself on i-tunes via my pc... i substituted the power charger from my i-phone to no avail with the wall socket... seems like i read that the earlier i-pads have some problems with the lightning socket but can not remember exactly...there is no apple retail shop in the small city where i live but would travel to one if the fix is relatively quick or easy...otherwise, what can i do for diagnosis and repair?

Most likely your cable is bad and you need to get a replacement.

TS1538 My I-pod Classic is not showing up in I-tunes, but my I-pod nano does. What do I need to fix this?

When I connect my I-pod classic it automatically says its connected in the Classics window, but does not appear in I-Tunes. I have tried removing the old I tunes program and re-installing the newest version, I have done the toggle the hold button reset trick, and nothing. But when I plug in my nano it sync's the connects and shows up in I-Tunes. So that tells me my cord is good and the USB I am using is good. Any help would be great.. Thanks

1) Plug in the USB then the 21 pin dock connector to your Classic while iTunes isn't open and if your computer makes a little du du noise it means its installing the iPods Device software and should work once its finished
2) Try using a different USB port or cord and see if that makes a difference
3)Contact Apple directly by phone and there support line is here http://www.apple.com/contact/

HELP: Lost all my music and my ipod does not show up in I-Tunes.

Okay, my Ipod was stuck on Do Not Disconnect. I rebooted it by hold menu and middle button. Well now the problem is that all my music is gone. I hooked it up to the computer so I could sync it again in itunes thinking that the music would reappear. But i can't do that cause my ipod isn't showing up in I-tunes. I double checked to make sure it's plugged up, but nothing? How do I get I-tunes and the computer to recogize my i-pod.
PLEAS HELP

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Still no joy, see these.

When I put a Pre Recorded CD into my computer it's not showing up on my i-tunes file, does anybody know why?

In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show SIdebar. After inserting the music CD, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.

Reset
Have you tried rebooting the device? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. If this fails, connect it to a power source and try again holding them for at least 20 seconds.
Restart computer
Disable security software
Can reinstall itunes but make sure to follow the article with security software off the whole time.
