IPod does not appear under devices in Itunes

These problems started a couple weeks ago: When I connect my iPod classic to my Windows 7 laptop, it doesn't appear under devices in iTunes, but the iPod says its connected. Also, a little blue sheild appeared over the iTunes icon on my desktop. When I click on iTunes, a message comes up telling me to turn off compatability mode before I open iTunes for best results because it was running on an earlier version of iTunes. I've tried switching the compatability around and all of the troubleshooting options possible for iTunes but nothing has changed and my iPod still does not show up in devices. What sould I do?

The blue shield is Windows 7 telling you, to log in as Administrator, it need this higher priviledge to add devices like your iPod to the Machine.
Perhaps, you can go to Microsoft forum, for the how_to override. (must be install and run iTunes as Administrator)
Have a nice day!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

    When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using  previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

    Thanks Rudegar.
    Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

  • Apps does not appear under devices in itunes., apps does not appear under devices in itunes.

    I am trying to get my apps to appear under devices in itunes.  They appear in the general library but not under devices. 

    When you turn on your iPad, you will not be able to see your apps under iTunes - though there is an iTunes Store, which is a different thing. Ito get your apps to appear in iTunes, open iTunes on your main computer and attach the sync cable. Both the general library and devices will appear.
    When you disconnect the cable, you won't be able to see Devices.

  • CD does not show under Devices on iTunes

    I am a new user and would appreciate any suggestions. My iPod shows under Devices on iTunes, and I've had no problem buying music from iTunes store or loading to iPod.
    I have set iTunes to be the default player of music cds but they do not play when loaded (iTunes opens) and the CD does not show under Devices.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • My iPhone4 does not display under Devices in iTunes

    I don't know if my iPhone 4 got overheated due to the recent power failure, but I charged it the other day and have been trying unsuccessfully to connect to iTunes ever since.  My Mac does not recognize my phone - it doesn't open iPhoto or iTunes when I plug it in, and it does not appear in the list of devices.  I used the same USB cable I have always used for my iPod and iPhone - my iPod appears but my iPhone does not.  Additionally, I now must turn the phone off in order to charge it (it is at nearly 100% right now).  The iOS is 5.1.1, up to date according to the phone. 
    I've tried the following (most of which were under the link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591) with no success:
    Using a different USB cable: the second cable worked with my iPod but not my iPhone
    Using a different USB jack: the second cable worked with my iPod but not my iPhone
    Resetting all settings on the phone (a few times) - I'm afraid to Reset All Content and Settings as I'm afraid I won't be able to get them back
    Quitting iTunes and getting back in
    Restarting my Mac
    Reinstalling iTunes
    Also, I thought Devices used to show in the iTunes sidebar, even if nothing was connected - now I can see Library, Store, Genius and Playlists, but Devices does not appear unless my iPod is plugged in.  I tried leaving my iPod plugged in, and plugging my iPhone into another USB jack but still nothing.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I no longer am under AppleCare.  Thank you.

    Thanks Rudegar.

  • My ipod does not appear in device list

    iTunes does not recognize my iPod Touch. It does not appear as a "device". What does appear is "Sync George Lance's iPod". There is no problem syncing but
    can't manage the iPod. I have gone through the un-installing and re-installs of all of the Apple S/W to no avail.

    Keep in mind, the new iTunes is in a different format.  To revert to a more familiar format:
    In the top menu bar in iTunes, select
    1.  View
    2.  Show sidebar
    Is the device now on the more familiar left hand pane or still not recognized

  • IPod Nano does not show under Devices (in iTunes) but is recognized in My Computer and also iTunes opens up automatically when it is connected

  • SD card does not appear under "Devices" as it used to - cannot import.

    Helping to remotely troubleshoot an issue with my dad's iMac.  Basically, he has always put his SD card into the slot, iPhoto opens and it prompts to import. Something has changed (presumably he did not cause the change ) and now what happens is that iPhoto opens, however the card is not showing up under "Devices" - thus there's no prompt to import.  I TeamView'd into his computer to see for myself what was going on, and sure enough, the card does appear on the desktop (and in the Home window under "Devices") but there's no sign of if under the Devices list in iPhoto. 
    Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

    And for the future a good workflow is to import your photos keeping them on the SD card, properly dismounting the card and after at least one backup cycle has successfulluy completed reformat the card using the camera - this protects against lost photos due to problems and keeps the card format fresh to minimize problems

  • Not appearing under devices

    When I connect my iPod Classic, it does not appear under devices.  I do have it on my iMac desktop, so I think the USB is working properly.  The iPod also will connect to my PC with no problem; I synced yesterday evening.  I have the latest iTunes on both computers.
    Any ideas?

    See here: iPod does not appear in iTunes or iPod updater in Mac OS X
    And here as well if necessary: iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop
    Did it ever show up previously? If so, what has changed then? Have you recently installed any third party software/plug-ins/etc.?
