Ipod appears in Windows, doesn't appear in itunes

My ipod appears in windows--i have it in disk mode so I can find it in my computer. However, it doesn't appear in the ipod updater or in itunes. I've tried resetting it, and i have the latest itunes and updates. What should I do? My brother's ipod is also having the same problem. We don't have any of those weird icons when we start up our ipods--no sad face or folder w/ the ! sign. Both our ipods worked fine until we updated itunes.

I'm having the same problem, my ipodnano is about a year old and I can't figure out what to do. I just installed the new itunes on my new laptop with vista premium. I'm desperate for a resolution, do you have any suggestions at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

  • IPod nano 1st generation doesn't appear in iTunes vers. 9.02 - HELP

    Since I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version 9.02, my iPod nano (1st generation) doesn't appear and I cannot synchronize it. Tried to change USB port, no result. Tried to uninstall iTunes and install earlier version 8.2 for Windows XP, but it won't open, saying that "the iTunes Library.itl cannot be read as it was created in a more recent iTunes version". What am I to do if I want to keep using my old nano?
    Desperate Sapiapple

    I am having a similar problem. Dusted off my daughters old nano to take to the beach. Tried setting it up on the old lap top I am taking with me and I could not get it working. After hours of diagnostics and troubleshooting matrixs it seems that I did not have drivers. Apple's troubleshooting says go to microsoft, MS's says go to apple for the drivers. Shows up as a faulted device. Did the updates to the USB drivers, etc. Put the player in disk mode (still would not recognize) My laptop says yes I have an I pod but it cant find the drivers to install it My other old laptop running old I Tune software seems to have no problem. I thought it was my problem I was wasting a
    Sunday on, now I am thinking that this is a problem with this latest version of I tunes.

  • My ipod shuffle (2nd gen) doesn't appear to be charging anymore

  • Speech Feedback Window Doesn't Appear

    In the beginning, speech recognition worked with some commands, but simply didn't respond to most others. Then the speech commands window suddenly emptied itself. I got a temporary fix for that problem, but now I find that the speech feedback window doesn't appear at all.
    I tried the advice in the help (switching it off and back on again; rebooting; deleting the com.apple.speech.recognition.feedback.prefs.plist) but it has not worked. And the plist file hasn't even recreated itself.
    Please help if you can.

    Hi. I followed the advice of another related thread and now I'm convinced it works.
    There's a bug in Panther that cripples Speech Recognition when the Address Book is activated to respond to speech commands. (Maybe it's b/c Address Book overloads the SR system?)
    Go to System Preferences > Speech > Speech Recognition. "Apple Speakable Items" is the only choice in my Recognition System window; so I didn't choose anything there but the default. Then, go down and make sure that Address Book is UNchecked (not On). I have all the other ones checked (On), such as Global Speakable Items and Application Specific Items, etc., and am not experiencing problems.
    Hope this works for you. It seems to have worked for many others. I have no other advice! Best,
    Walter

  • Facetime opens but the window doesn't appear?

    Facetime opens but the window doesn't appear. I am capable of accessing the setting a preferences from the top bar but the window is still not there. The green light for the camera also turns on. I am running mountain lion with the latest updates on a macbook pro with retina display.

    Yeah. Apparently there was a hardware malfunction. I took it too the apple store and they replaced the top clamshell. The repairs would have cost around $750 if it wasn't under warranty. I recommend buying AppleCare when you can.

  • Welcome window doesn't appear when installing CS5 on new imac

    I'm trying to install CS5 into my new imac but after I inserted the Application disc 1, nothing happens. the welcome window doesn't appear. No window to fill in serial #s, etc. Installed Acrobat with no problem though. Thanks.

    Thanks for your response Jeff. I'm still getting myself familiar with Lion and obviously handicapped with these tech stuff so pardon my ignorance. I didn't see the DVD icon the way I used to in earlier OS so just assumed it wasn't working the way Acrobat worked (the first DVD I inserted). Now, I transferred the contents of my backup drive onto my new imac and see both CS4 and CS5 transferred into the Applications folder. Does that mean the softwares are installed or do I need to install them through the DVDs? Don't want to accidentally screw up anything. If I just dragged and deleted CS4, does that completely remove it out of my iMac? thanks so much for your help.

  • The iTunes window doesn't appear, though iTunes is open.

    When I open iTunes, its window doesn't appear, but it plays audio files that I open from the Finder. The only iTunes window that I can make appear is the mini player (the control strip that contains only the playback controls), which appears when you select Zoom in the Window menu.
    I was using v.7.0.2 of iTunes when this problem started. Upgrading to v.7.2 didn't fix the problem. Neither did restarting my Mac.
    This problem began after I downloaded and played an audio file whose extension was "mpg" or "mpg4" (if I remember correctly).
    iMac G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    My question was answered by someone who suggested trying a solution, but that solution didn't fix the problem. To avoid deterring would-be solvers from writing to me, I'd rather not label my question "Answered."

  • I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    This sounds similar to the problem where new purchases will appear in playlists, but not the main music source, suggesting that iTunes is making a hash of the indexes. Somewhat bizarrely the solution for that one seems to be to download the current free Single of the Week, maybe it will help you too.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

    My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2. 
    I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
    I can't see it anymore in ITunes.  I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
    I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
    I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
    I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
    The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
    I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
    I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
    Many thanks for your help !

  • Adjust volume window doesn't appear

    I am running imove 08 (last version) and am trying to adjust the volume of background music (or clip volume) but when I click on the adjust audio button the window (as seen in tutorial video) doesn't appear.
    I have connected the external monitor I have used before (just in case the window is "somewhere else" and deleted the imove.plist file (to start with new settings).

  • Ipod classic 5th generation doesn't appear on Itunes

    When i connect my iPod to my computer it doesn't appear in my iTunes. I tried using disk mode and that doesn't work. I tried using developer mode and that didn't work. I re-install iTunes a few times and that didn't work. When I disconnected my iPod there was a notification and it said "USB device not recognized."
    When I connect my iPod to my computer I realized that it didn't have that screen (Do not disconnect) but my iPod does is charge my phone.
    Please help me!

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable

  • Inspector window doesn't appear

    I suddenly find that the inspector window won't appear. Media, color & fonts windows are fine. Quitting Keynote, and restarting haven't helped.

    Same problem here - the inspector is on the edge of the screen and I cannot move it back into view. Is reinstalling the only option? It seems like that is the #1 fix people give on these forums. Everyone knows reinstalling fixes things - the thing is most people don't want to reinstall.
    So, how do you bring a window back into view?
