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.

  • TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes

    My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes, and is not recognized by my computer. I am using a MacBook Pro purchased six months ago, with all software up to date. I am using the most recent version of iTunes,and the original factory connector.  It does charge through the computer, but is not seen by the computer.  I have gone through all of the recommened troubleshooting, and have verified that the connectors are plugged in properly.

    Thanks for a reply
    The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
    I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
    I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

  • 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/

  • HT4314 I have an IPhone an IPad1 and and IPod.  The game center on the IPod will not show any of the games.  Can anyone help with this?

    I have an IPod touch 4.2 and the game center is not showing any of the games.   My Ipad1 and IPhone are running from the same account and both work great. Any suggestions how I might solve this?  Thank u

    I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
    If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process.  Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

  • I have just bought a 2nd generation iPod touch , it has been reset to factory settings and has no option to update it ? How do I do this ? Also it will not show up in my iTunes or my computer could someone please help??

    Please help as it is starting to look like I have wasted money
    I bought an iPod touch 2nd generation and it won't let me download anything as it no been updated I know I cannot get the recent update but how do I get an old one ? , also it is not showing up in iTunes or my computer so I cannot put songs on can someone please help ??

    The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. To find apps for the 2G
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    To update to 4.2.1
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
      A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

  • Brand "product red" nano will not show up in i-tunes

    i have already been a nano user.
    i bought the ipod 1 gig and never had any problems with it.
    this year for chistmas my cousin got a new blue ipod nano.
    she wanted to use my computer to take some songs- i had to download new (latest) itunes version for her new ipod.
    even with the new version my own nano still worked.
    i bought a new nano - the product red nano- over the internet through the apple store.
    i plugged it to my computer thinking it would require usual walk through set up (name your ipod ,etc)
    in itunes it doesnt even show the ipod as being connected.
    THIS NANO IS BRAND NEW OUT OF BOX!!!!!!! WHY ISNT IS WORKING!!!
    ANY FEEDBACK OR SHOULD I JUST GO THE APPLE STORE?

    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.

    Still no joy, see these.

  • I have a gen3 iPod touch.  It shows the battery charging when I plug into my PC, but will not show as an extra drive in "my computer" and won't show up in iTunes either.  Can anyone help please?  I have exhausted all "help" options.

    I am trying to get my iPod touch (3rd gen), to show up in "My Computer" and in iTunes.  I am using a usb cable and it is connecting okay, because the battery is charging.  It won't show up as an external drive on my computer, and nothing in iTunes either.  I have used the exact same usb cable and plugged into the exact same usb port with a different iPod touch without having this problem.  I have swapped them back and forth and it seems to be a problem with this particular iPod, because the other shows up just fine.  I have already downloaded and installed the latest iTunes update, and I already restarted the computer afterwards.  The other iPod is a 4th gen touch, but that really shouldn't matter.  I would greatly appreciate anyone's help on this matter.  I know that I can't be the first person that this has happened to.  Thanks.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • My I pod touch is not showing up on my playlist for i tunes

    That's because it's not a playlist.  It's a device.  Mine shows two devices simultaneously because they're configured for wireless sync.

  • My 2nd generation shuffle will not sync with itunes. Why?

    I have done everything I can think of. I have restarted my mac several times, restarted Itunes and my 2nd generation shuffle will not show up in my iTunes. I just updated my iTunes and Mac to the latest version. Any help? Why wont my itunes connect to my ipod shuffle??

    When iTunes is NOT running, does the shuffle show up on the Desktop, or appear in Disk Utility (when you run it)? Or, if you run System Profiler
    Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report (if running Lion)
    does the shuffle appear as a device under Hardware/USB?
    If it is being recognized by the Mac in some way, you may be able to get it working again, using the iPod Reset Utility
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
    This utility is for 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffles only, as a "lower level" reset when you can't do a regular Restore in iTunes.
    If the Mac is not seeing the shuffle at all, there is probably a problem with the USB connection, probably the USB cable/dock or the connection point on the shuffle (headphone jack) becoming faulty.  To rule out the USB port in the Mac, be sure to try different ports.  If you have been using a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), be sure to try a direct port on the Mac.  And be sure to try it with ALL other USB devices (except standard mouse and keyboard) disconnected, in case there is some USB device conflict happening.

  • HT1369 Yes, my cousins Ipod is disabled and I connect it to itunes and it will not connect, it says "the device you have entered has a pass code, enter the passcode to connect." The problem is the keyboard to type in the pass code will not show up. What d

    Yes, my cousins iPod is disabled. It says "ipod is disabled, connect to iTunes", I did that and it will not connect to iTunes, because it needs the pass code. The pass code key board will not show up and I cant connect. Please help me figure this problem out, my cousin is depending on me. Thanks, a concern customer.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
