I tunes not recognizing my ipod..help!!! can't load new songs!
hi, i've used my own cord and my brother's cord to plug my ipod into my computer. the cord charges my ipod but my ipod doesn't register up on the itunes menu as "plugged in" so it won't upload any of the new songs i put on my itunes. it can't be the cord because it works with my brother's computer and ipod. i'd like to know if there's anything i can do or should i haul it to the local apple store? thanks!

Does your iPod work on your brother's computer? If it doesn't then it might be the iPod at fault.
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.
Still no joy, see these.

Can't load new songs, constant "do not disconnect" message
I got a 5th gen iPod for my old mac mini seeing as how the 6th wasn't compatible. When I first hooked it up to charge, it downloaded every song on my iTune. Later, when I tried to add some more songs, the iPod kept flashing the "do not disconnect" message. Also, in iTunes, it keeps showing me the "Welcome to Your New iPod" display. I went through and registered it and signed up for the iTunes store and it keeps showing up. Whenever I try clicking the "register later" or "never register" buttons, nothing happens and it goes right back to the screen. Is there something I'm missing?
Message was edited by: TheDommerThei wanted to follow up. i was getting ready to sell my ipod on ebay, so i hooked it up to my roommate's computer, which i worked on just fine, and erased all the songs on it. these were the songs it automatically uploaded from my itunes when i first plugged it in. i then decided to give it one last try on my computer, i was shocked and amazed to find that it works perfectly fine now. not sure what the problem was but wanted to let everyone know in case someone else had the same problem.

- Now browse to the location of the files you want to transfer and load them into the Music Library.
- Connect the Creative Mp3 player to your PC
- Click the menu button View and Right Panel View. Select your Creative Mp3 player here
- Now highlight the tracks from the middle window, which you would like to transfer onto your Creative Mp3 player and click the arrow pointing towards the right.

IPod touch won't load new songs
My iPod touch won't add any more files, although there is plenty of space. It gets stuck on "preparing to update." What gives?
Try:

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

My computer is not recognizing my IPod Touch, therefore I can not sync.
My computer is not recognizing my Ipod touch. I have used all the help tips and tried different usb ports with no change. The only other thing I can think of is that since I lost my cable for the Ipod, I am using the cable for my Iphone. Would this cause the problem? The cables seem to be the exact same, but perhaps I am mistaken.

I cannot download updates to Photoshop Elements 9. I get an error message that my serial number is not recognized or eligible. Can you help with this?
Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
What updates are you trying to download?
The last update was 9.0.3 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Photoshop Elements
The last supported Camera raw is ACR 6.5 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-ins -> Camera Raw
Do you have a reason to update?

Hi
My computer is not recognizing my iPod NanoPod - and as a result 'The Devices' section is not showing up in order to sync new Playlists to my Nano-Pod. Any suggestions?
Thank you.What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I did that it came up with another message that it was only good for a 32 bit version. I guess I do not have a 32 bit version. I just purchased my computer a few months ago and it uses the windows 7 operating system. What do I do now?
Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps. -
itunes is not recognizing my ipod. there is no sync under file. I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
can anyone help?Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
BTW... you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example. -
WIndows not recognizing my ipod shuffle ?!?
I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The orange lights up while charging and when I plug in the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my friend said it should)
I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and had the same problem. I just got this for my son for Christmas and needless to say he's a bit disappointed.
Did I buy a lemon?
Please help!!!
