  • Ipod 160g does not appear on itunes but it appears on windows when in disk mode

    my ipod 160 g does not appear in itune (disk mode or not) but it appears in windows as IPOD (F:) only when it's in disk mode. I tried reseting it by holding the menu and center button it stop but then it goes back to the apple logo screen and stay on untill the battery dies and nothing else happens how can I reset it to is factory settings?

    When you connect it in Disk Mode, leave it charging the iPod Battery till Full Charge.
    In the meantime, 30 minutes or so into the charging, ( I just want the Ipod to have sufficient power for any harddisk Operation)
    go to Window Explorer (or My Computer),
    Select the Ipod, right click properties, ->tools->error checking->Check Now->fix error
    After the error fixing (may take a while but then you still have to wait till the battery charging is complete.)
    Disconnect the iPod from the PC.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete. - Done above
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

  • IPhoto does not appear on desktop, only in Dashboard mode

    Hey guys,
    Has anyone had this problem - the iPhoto window does not appear on the desktop, and can only be seen in Dashboard mode. Once that tiny window in the Dashboard mode is clicked, the program hides.
    I hope to hear from someone soon about this. Thank you!

    Are you using separate desktops with Spaces? If so, try disable it and see if the window shows up. Otherwise you can try trash the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder
    Regards

  • Ipod mini does not appear in windows explorer or I tunes

    Two days ago, I purchased an IPod mini for my daughter to take to college. Directions seemed certainly clear enough to connect.
    Unfortunately, I have spent two days trying to transfer music from itunes, on three different computers (two of of which are about a year old) utilizing at various times all of the USB ports available for use between the three computers.
    I have updated windows and the Itunes and Ipod updater software for all of the computers.
    I have reset and restored the Ipod numerous times.
    On my laptop, the Ipod appears in Windows explorer but not under "Source" in Itunes. On another computer (a 3 year old Dell) it neither appears in Itunes or Windows explorer.
    AT no time, does ITUNES automatically start when it is connected through a USB port.
    Needless to say, I am frustrated and sorely disappointed that connecting this has become so difficult.
    Before returning and giving up on the Apple, I thought I would try this discussion forum to see if anyone had any additional ideas.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your recommendation! I did, at one point, try to get the apple logo to appear but it never did and I'm not sure why.
    Meanwhile, we exchanged it for a different one.
    This time it worked but only after the shop I bought it from updated the software for us.
    The ipod, however, still doesn't automatically start itunes when it is connected; for some reason. Itunes has to be started, and the the Ipod needs to be connected. After a short while, it then appears under source and songs can be downloaded.
    But, after all that, it now works!!!!!

  • My 6th Gen iPod nano is not recognised in iTunes, but is in windows.

    Up until this morning my ipod was working fine with iTunes. I updates iTunes this morning and then a message came up stating that iTunes knew there was a device but it couldnt access it or something along those lines. It said if this problem continued I should reinstall iTunes. I evenutally reinstalled iTunes, I also restarted my iPod and stopped and starting the services. I tried to delete the Temp file in Local, but it wouldn't let me. I have tried restarting my laptop, plugging the USB into a different port. Nothing seems to be working.
    Any suggestions on how to get it working again?

    Hey Sue13228,
    Good troubleshooting so far. I would also try out the steps in the following link:

  • IPod classic is not recognised by itunes but is by windows - please help

    Hi there.... as title suggests my ipod as of today is refusing to be even recognized by itunes despite it being perfectly happy in my computer. I have tried every step that itunes support suggested with the end result meaning that it now has none of my music on it, so that went well.
    Just before it properly went down I would get something along the lines of Cannot sync - \"Required File Could Not Be Found\" Any ideas?

    Hi, I've been bothering with the same problem on the last two days, and also tried everything apple support had to offer, but to no effect.
    By accident and pure luck, I got out of this mess by the following steps (that will maybe help you):
    Go to "My Computer".
    Look out for the iPodClassic Drive.
    Open it.
    Open the folder "iPod_Control"
    Open the folder "iTunes"
    Look for "extras". It's the iTunes Data Source.
    Open it.
    There I was. iPod back in iTunes.
    Hope it will work out for you, too.
    Cheers.

  • Mp3 does not play in iTunes but plays in Windows Media Player

    Dear group,
    iTunes will not play a particular group of mp3s I have but the same mp3s play fine in Windows Media Player.
    Winamp cannot play them either.
    I've searched the net a bit and found many mentions of it but no solutions which work for me.
    Also, these same mp3s are on my iPod and they play fine.
    Any clues what is causing this bizzare problem? The files are not wma do not have DRM or anything like that.
    I have tried reinstalling iTunes and Winamp.
    Thanks

    Do the tracks import into iTunes even though the will not play? If so try selecting a track, then go to Advanced>>Convert ID3 tags and select None.
    If that allows the track to play you can select multiple tracks to convert.

  • TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

    iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.

    Mike:
    Just had the very same problem.  iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1).  I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere.  Didn't work.  What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes.  Once it restarted it was there and synching.  I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
    Try this.  May work for you as well.

  • My ipod touch2 does not appear in itunes

    My ipod touch does not appear to be connecting with itunes. The last time I synched my playlists was in Feb. and did not have a problem. I've never had this happen since the original ipod. I've updated the itunes software a couple of times since. Could that have affected the connection? I'm at a lost.
