Ipod does not appear as a storage device in My Computer Folder

Hello all!
I am new at this. I am switching computers and learned that I can use my Ipod as a storage device to transfer all of my music into the new computer. I have the directions but am stuck at the point where I need to copy the itunes folder in My Music to the Ipod (which should show in the My Computer folder but it does not. Any ideas? Is there an easier way to do this? Thank you!

Hi! Thanks!
Yes I do have disk mode enabled. Anyway, I circumvented the problem when I used a transfer cable to copy files and settings from my old computer to a new one. My itunes library was transferred to the new computer. The only problem now is that all of my non-itunes music was copied twice in the new itunes music library in the new computer. Don't understand why.

  • HT201272 Downloaded a track does not appear in my iTunes library or iTunes Computer folder (Windows XP)

    A downloaded track does not appear anywhere in my computer, but I can't download it again as my iTunes purchased list states it's already downloaded!  I haven't had this problem before so any ideas please.  Thanks

    I also have additional issues with this same issue. The songs appear on my iPhone and iPads via iTunes Match, but I do not see them in my iTunes before I manually update the match. iTunes downloads them somewhere as I have automatically download new songs feature activated, but they do not show up in my library. After updating the Match, I am able to manually download them from the cloud.

  • My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer.  This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

    My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either.  This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed.  How can I get it going again?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod does not appear in itunes after windows scan and fix

    Two days ago, I restored my Ipod classic using Itunes 9.2.0.61. After restoration my Ipod started freezing Itunes and Vista. At a point, I saw a blue screen and my computer forced a shutdown. When it rebooted, Vista kept asking to automatically "scan and fix" problems on my Ipod. Thinking that would solve the "freeze" problem, I stupidly went ahead to have Vista scan and fix my Ipod. Now the freeze problem is gone, but my Ipod does not appear in Itunes. I have tried the five Rs from Apple, but that has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • Ipod does not appear in the organizer.

    Hi All.
    I've installed the SDK 8 on my Mac OS x 10.5.
    While following the Apple "How to start" I'v tried to get my Ipod device info from the xcode organizer.
    Unfortunately my Ipod does not appear in there and it does being recognized by the Itunes 7.7.
    Can anyone please explain to me what can be the problem (and how to solve it??)
    Thanks.
    Yaniv.

    I digged into it as I had the same problem, I found this in the logs:
    7/17/08 21:49:46 Xcode[2242] Error loading /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/iPhoneR emoteDevice.xcodeplugin/Contents/MacOS/iPhoneRemoteDevice: dlopen(/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/ iPhoneRemoteDevice.xcodeplugin/Contents/MacOS/iPhoneRemoteDevice, 265): no suitable image found. Did find:
    /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/iPhoneR emoteDevice.xcodeplugin/Contents/MacOS/iPhoneRemoteDevice: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
    It turned out that XCode was running in 64bit mode, so it could not load the 32bit plugin. After toggling the 'Open in 32 Bit Mode' checkbox in 'Get Info' on XCode the device loaded (in 32 bit mode), then the iPod showed in the organizer.

    My iPod does not appear in iTunes, the desktop, or under devices in the newly downloaded version OS X 10.10. Is there a way to have it displayed?

    Not in the system report under USB, not in iTunes, the screens don't show that they are connecting.

    I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4 and at first iTunes didn't work so i came on here and found a way to fix it. Now that I have fixed it my iPod does not appear on iTunes or on my computer.

    Removed. Re-synced. Still not working. Factory reset the phone, re-installed music... made a GIANT "Other" file instead of actually adding any songs.
    Factory resetting again. Any other solutions?
    EDIT: If It helps, I'm doing this all over USB connection, not trying to sync music through wifi or anything.
