    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried the 'Purchased' option in the top right corner of the Store window in iTunes

  • 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.

  • Hey Apples Users, my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer

    hey Apples Users,
    my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer
    Could anyone in there show me the best solution for the same
    thanks in advance

    First of all does, the iPod power on okay? 
    Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB ports, preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC tower (these are directly soldered onto the motherboard and receive much high outputs of power than the ones on the front).
    What about a different USB sync cable?
    What shows up on the iPod's screen when you connect it?  Does it charge at all?  Maybe try resetting it with it still connected to your PC.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Iphone not showing up in itunes & not connecting to computer

    Rite...
    When i plug my iphone into my computer (WinXP, SP2) via the dock and straight from the USB cable, it does not show up in iTunes, Windows does not recognise it as a USB device and the camera pop doesnt show up. Basically Windows isn't recognising it at all.
    I've tried:
    restarting my computer.
    reinstalling itunes.
    creating a new account on my pc, installing itunes and seeing if it connects; it did and worked fine, i logged out and and back onto my own profile, my iphone showed up and synched fine. I then restarted and the same problem occurred.
    I've tried it in all my USB ports, and none want to read it. I have also tried other USB devices, which also don't want to be recognised. This wasn't the case a couple of days ago.
    Also my iphone docked and synched fine after the upgrade both to itunes and the iphone.
    Anyone else having this problem? I think it's a general USB problem with my PC, anyone have any ideas.
    Argh it's annoying!!

    I tried this:
    "The problem seems to be that the install process treats everything PC like a Vista machine. If you go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE you'll find an oddly named directory inside it like usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B.
    Go into it. You'll find USBAAPL.CAT, usbaapl.inf and usbaapl.sys.
    What I did was right click on the .inf file and pick install (don't know for sure if it needed that, but I'm not going to omit any steps just in case).
    Open up C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and copy the usbaapl.sys file there.
    Open up C:\WINDOWS\inf and copy usbaapl.inf there.
    Again I right clicked on the .inf file copy in the C:\WINDOWS\inf directory and hit install. It then created the corresponding usbaapl.PNF in that directory.
    I unplugged the pod from the usb port, rebooted the system, plugged the pod in again and voila, there it was. It found it and installed correctly"
    Which didn't work.
    - My iphone appears in the Services under 'Apple Mobile Device Service'
    - I can't verify the iphones driver because nothing is showing up in device drivers/managment
    -I have USB 2.0

  • Iphone not showing up in itunes

    I have just installed windows 8 developer preview on my system but now my iPHONE 4 is not showing up in itunes , It works in b/w sometime,, ny idea ?

    iTunes 10.5 does not support Windows 8. 
    NEVER be surprsed when existing apps don't work in a new beta OS version.  If you grasp the concetp of beta testing, the "Developers Preview" is meant for testing and development only, not routine or mission critical use.

  • IPhone not showing up in iTunes 8.2.1

    I downloaded the new version of iTunes 8.2.1, and now my iPhone 3G is not showing up in iTunes.
    Please help. is there anyway I can fix this problem? Can I download an old version of iTunes on Apple's website? Or is there another website someone can recommend?
    Thanks.

    That seems to have done the trick. I had restarted the computer after the update, obviously, but hadn't done so after restarting the iPod Touch. Thanks!
