IPod connects to the computer, but not to iTunes

When I connect my 30 gb iPod to the computer, the "do not disconnect" screen appears on the iPod, but it does not show up on a Source list on iTunes nor does it update. The iPod does appear in the Finder, so I know the connection is made. I have OSX 10.4.11 and just updated to iTunes 8, but this problem occurred prior to the update (I was hoping the update would solve the problem!). What to do???

Yep add me to that list too, and I have tried the menu and select button on the ipod all that happens is the contrast goes very faint, tried the combo thing and it tells me it can't be installed on this computer, tried the 5 R's on the ipod frequent question page, all do nothing, totally un impressed with Apple for the first time, never had any problems but version 8 of itunes really needs bugging out before it was released, if anyone has any other ideas please do add them as I have just bought a whole load of music which is sat on my library and cant move to ipod...oh and I have also tried the create a new account and see if that works, well I could see the ipod but couldnt transfer the contents back to itunes - sooooooo unhappy can't do apple care as classic ipod is way past 2 years

  • Our IPod connects to the WIFi, but not to the internet.

    Our IPod connects to the WIFI, but not to the internet.  We have a wireless router which we connect our MACBOOK to the internet and our IPod.  The MACBOOK works fine, but not the IPod.  It shows to be connected to WIFI, but whenever we try to connect to an internet site i.e. Sarfari, we get an message "Safari cannot open the page becuase it is not connected to the internet".  We have tried rebooting, but it has not helped.

    Try:

  • My ipod connects to the computer but will not charge, can you help?

    My ipod will not charge. I have tried charging via the mains and via the computer. The computer recognises it but it still won't charge. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Another charging source?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

  • 5th generation ipod is recognized by computer but not by itunes.

    Every time I try to sync, iTunes doesn't respond. I just get the spinning beach ball and I must force quit. The computer recognizes the ipod but not Itunes. Both work fine independent of each other.

  • Ipod shuffle recognized by computer but not by itunes

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. I have just purchased an ipod shuffle and went through all the installation okay to find the ipod just blinks in orange mode and is not recognised or picked up by itunes. There is no symbol present in the sources bar.
    The computer has picked it up and describes it as a usb disc drive. The drivers for it look to be windows ones and can be found in the device manager under disc drives. I tried to change the drivers but found it just kept replacing them with windows ones.
    I downloaded the help pages and went through the lenghty process of uninstalling ipod and itunes and reinstalling them, making sure my norton security center was disabled, but I still encounter the same problem.
    Is there anyone who has had similar problems or can advise me what to do please.
    many thanks.

    Hi
    Did you get any further with this? I bought a shuffle today, and have exactly the same symptoms, haven't found a solution yet.
    Thanks.
