IPod as USB...can't get iPod to show up properly in My Computer

Old computer crashed and now I want to transfer my files to a new computer. I know how to do this but the iPod will not appear properly in the "my computer" section. It shows up as a generic USB drive. I have tried everything to get it to be recognized properly. Can someone PLEASE help me? When I click on the iPod it lists 4 empty folders titled Notes, Calendars, etc. When I click on them, they're empty. Please note, itunes DOES recognize the iPod, but I need to transfer the old songs before using itunes again. Just don't want to lose so many songs. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

WHAT! Oh, come on. This was the only reason I was interested in iOS4. I mean really I knew a lot of features wouldn't work cause of the lack of procesor speed, but the Walpaper is just a static graphic, what is so hard with that? I mean three OS's ago I hacked my iPhone and got that feature working. Apple did the pooch on this one. I hope this is not like holding back features like they do on cars to sell the over priced ones.
Gee! I am so ******! I spent a living H E Double Hocky Sticks trying to get the darnm OS on my iPhone and none of the features except the very poorly implemented folder or is tit a tray directory thing. Well it's back to OS 3 and hacking it to get it to work properly.

  • I just bought a new iPod and I have it set up the same as my other iPod but I can't get notification to show on the lock screen like my old one does. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi.
    What is the exact notification you are waiting? This could be possible that the device has already been opened once. Don't you think?

  • I bought music from my Ipod, but I can't get them on my itunes acount on my computer. Any suggestions?

    I usually but all my music over itunes through my ipod. But i cant get the music on my computer's itunes. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

    Hmm. OK.
    Good place to go before connecting any "new" device to an iTunes Library is Edit > Preferences > Devices and check Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.
    The device may need to be unlocked from its lock screen before it will connect to iTunes.
    Once the device is displayed in the left hand sources pane the menu option Transfer purchases from "<Device name>" should be clickable.
    If the device doesn't show there may be unfinished driver updates going on.
    Have you authorised this computer (Store > Authorise this computer) yet? I chose the wrong wording earlier and signing into the iTunes store (if indeed that's what you meant/thought I meant) might not achieve the same ends.

  • Hard drive crash; but ipod OK; how can I get ipod music onto itunes?

    I had to do a complete recovery of my wife's computer. It appears my "drag" of Music folder prior to recovery did not complete. She has a working iPod with everything on it. How do I get the iPod music, podcasts, and such, back into a brand new and clean and blank  itunes?

  • Can't get the Daily Show to play on my computer...

    21.5" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.8. Tried reinstalling the combo 10.6.8 updater with no joy. Clips won't play in any browser- Safari, Chrome or Firefox. Flash plug-in 10.3.183.10 is installed. Used to play fine. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Ditto here. I have tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox and cannot get Daily Show clips to play.
    I have turned off Ad Blocker.
    I have updated Flash Player.
    I'm running the latest Mavericks OSX.
    What gives?
    The only thing that I can think of is I'm in New Zealand and Comedy Central has suddenly kiboshed videos outside the USA? They played fine before this format change.

  • Can't get Firefox to show websites properly

    I've never had trouble with Firefox before. I was using 14.1 when it stopped showing everything the way it was supposed to. I scanned for a virus, rebooted my machine, turned off the plugins and nothing worked so I decided to try Safari. I set up the plugins I wanted etc., used it for a while and decided I liked Firefox better. So I pulled up Firefox and pushed the reset button. This made it worse! I had checked for updates and it said I was up to date. To make sure, I went to Firefox download page and found an update. I downloaded it and the new version was just as bad. So, I decided to upload Firefox 15 - everything was still a mess. Check boxes don't show on any sites but if you remember where they are the spot will still work. Colors are showing up. Everything looks stripped to the bare bones.
    I deleted Safari and Chrome - I've canned my entire computer for viruses, file fragments, etc. I don't know what else to try! I'm disabled so my browser is my link to the world! I love Firefox when it works - please don't make me go back to IE!

    Hi giganut, I missed the part about the Shockwave Flash plugin (I assume it's Shockwave Flash and not Shockwave for Director). There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
    If you have Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you might also consider disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3, since that feature is currently being debugged. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

    My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.  I have the latest version of iTunes.  Windows has all the most recent updates too.  I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

    Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
    I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
    It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
    Please help

  • I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

    I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

    One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password.  If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it.  If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem.  If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
    If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

    i had the same problem. did a lot of research..my phone became unusuable. do you use the htc mail? if so that is your problem. there is a bug with it that it keeps eating your memory until you cannot use your phone. i had to do a hard reset. back to factory condition..not happy! but then went to the marketplace and got k-9 mail. that is now my default mail program. i have not had any issues since then. this is what i kept reading over and over for complaints on this phone. it is a major glitch and the only way, as of the time it happened to me, to fix it..
