Imac not showing the contents of my classic iPod and iPad when i connect them to the iMac?

imac not showing the contents of my ipod classic and ipad when i connect them to my imac?

That's not much to go on.
What operating system and version are you using? Are you using the most recent version of iTunes? If so, did you update prior to this happening? What other changes might have triggered this? What troubleshooting have you done already and what was the result?

  • Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it

    Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it but it dosent show up under devices so i cant sync any music!!the screen on the ipod would usually say "connecting"or"do not disconnect"but it dosent say that anymore!!Ive been trying to fix it for DAYS but i cant find a good enough solution.PLZ HELP!!(p.s. i have a 4th generation nano)

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.

    My IMac just stopped recognizing my Iphone and Itouch when I connect them?  Any idea why or how to fix this?

    Did You upgrade iOS on the iPhone and ITouch?
    It might be that you now need a new version of iTunes for the new version of iOS.
    I am guessing here because you did tell us very much to go on.

  • We have iphones, ipads and ipods attached to one itunes account. Is it possible to prevent the ipods and ipads from receiving texts sent to the iphone? Can we link them to "phantam" email?

    We have one itunes store account for all of our apple devices. I am now separated and my kids take their ipods and ipads to my exs. How can I stop my ex from reading my texts? I turned off the home sharing, but they, kids or ex, just turn it on.
    Do I have to have separate itune accounts for the other devices or can I create a separate email account and link those devices to that?

    Hi, RenegadeK. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This issue would be caused by all your devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime.  I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your/her/his device if possible.  Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.  Once this is done, I would recommend that either you/her/him create a new Apple ID specifically for iMessage and FaceTime here.  Then you/her/him would need to sign in to iMessage and FaceTime with the new Apple ID.  You can still keep the same Apple ID for purchases.  You can also change the password which will essentially disable iMessage for his/her account.  You could also just turn iMessage off.

  • I lost my ITunes library when my windows laptop had a major glitch. Have recovered about half of it. All of my library is on my Ipad- can pull this music from the IPad when I connect it to the laptop in ITunes? Thanks.

    I lost all of my ITunes library when my windows laptop had a major glitch. I have all of my music on an IPad and IPhone. Can I pull the music from the IPad or IPhone when I connect them in ITunes? Thanks.

    One application that's able to accomplish what you want is called Senuti.

    I've used it many times to recover music from my iPod to iTunes.

  • Mail on iMac not accessing MS Exchange server but both iPhone and iPad access the same account with no problems.

    I have been using an iPhone and iPad to access my work emails via our MS Exchange server for a number of years now with no problems at all.  I recently replaced my home PC with an iMac (first Mac I have owned) but cannot get it to communicate with the exchange server.  I've checked and re-checked the information on the iMac and my iPad - I even deleted the mail account on the iPad and input the details concurrently with setting up on the iMac - but the Mac will not access the exchange server.
    I receive the message "The Exchange server "---------------" rejected the password for user "------"  Enter you password again or cancel."  I am using the correct password.  iPad and iPhone are logging on using that password fine.  iMac just ends up repeating this message.
    Our IT support at work assure me that there is no reason from their end for it not to work, and reasonably point to it working using the iPhone etc.
    I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can provide a solution to this basic, but extremely frustrating, little problem.

    iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
    I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
    iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
    These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
    So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
    In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
    Good luck!

  • When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small.  Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

    When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books.  I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened.  Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto.  Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

    Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

  • My ipod shuts down when I connect it to the computer.

    My ipod works perfectly fine. But when I connect it to my computer it just shuts down. Sometimes it says low battery. And sometimes it just shuts right off. I tried to reset it, but that doesn't help. And my computer won't recognize it because the power won't come on when its connected. Any suggestions??

    If you put it into disk mode and connect it to your computer can you see it in Device Manager or My Computer?

  • How can i sinc the content on my existing ipod to my new pc without erasing all the content on my ipod?

    i recently purchased a new computer. now i cant sync any new music from i tunes to my existing ipod (classic) w/o getting a message to erase all of my existing content and start over. Help. is there a way to sync new music w/o erasing my existing ipod library?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods available for copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.  Once you have successfully done that, you can safely choose the Erase and Sync option.

    SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
    Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
    Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
    Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.
