IPod doesn't appear in iTunes and Windows

I have a next problem with connecting nano with Windows:
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes: iTunes 7 diagnostic write that host-controller of bus IEEE 1394 was not found.
Sometimes Windows see the demountable disk, but can't open it. Occasionally, when i charge nano, iTunes gives out the message, that iPod is damaged.
After connecting iPod to the computer, it shows the "Do not disconnect" screen, which not disappear after nano disconnecting. And I need reset iPod everytime after charging.
Does any help me?

I read this article.
I can't restore iPod because iPod Updater can't recognize it, when one connect to the computer.
How to solve the problem: as i wrote, iTunes diagnostic informs that can't find the controller IEEE 1394 (WiFi), but I HAVEN'T WiFi card on computer, I use USB 2.0.

IPod doesn't sync with iTunes on Windows Vista

Hi there!
I'm experiencing the following problem:
the iPod charges when connected to my pc, but doesn't display within iTunes (and Windows Explorer). The 'round load' icon displays for 2 seconds in my iPod when I connect it via my USB 2.0, then disappears.
A few times it has appeared, but then I got a message that the iPod isn't functioning properly anymore (with iTunes) and that the iPod needs to be reset.
When I'm chosing the option to restore, I see a window with a downloading bar but it seems to keep hanging. I tried to restore my iPod several times via this procedure, but even if I waited some hours it is still loading, so it seems to keep hanging within this process.
In order to see wheter this problem has already been known and solved, I've read through the knowledgebase.
I have read the following article:
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
Unfortunately, proceeding through these steps didn't help me further. Also, I read through the following threads:
My iPOD is not being recognized by my computer.....

iPod, when plugged in charges, but doesn't show up on windows, or itunes.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=736748&tstart=0
The action steps provided within these threads also didn't help me further.
Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
Thank you for your time reading this post, any help is appreciated.

I wonder wheter there is a possibility to add files like screenshots and process dumps in order to give the ability for further analysis.

They are now in the videos app!

Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

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 Touch not appearing in Itunes using Windows 7

If your Itouch doesn't appear in Itunes try doing this:
The problem is, for some reason, iTunes won’t install the Apple Mobile Device software or service. Even if you extract out the AMDS installation files, it still fails. The SOLUTION is to take the software and service from Vista for AMDS and manually install it. Then, it will work!
First of all, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download it from here. These instructions will NOT work for iTunes 8 or 9 anymore. If you’re unsure, just uninstall iTunes then re-install with the latest files. If you want to keep iTunes 9 and don’t want to upgrade to iTunes 9, let me know in the comments and I can get the files to you…I still have them.
Next, you need to manually copy the Mobile Device Support directory from a working Vista machine to your Windows 7 computer
Now, we need to install the correct driver for your iPhone / iTouch. Windows 7 incorrectly identifies the device as a digital camera. To fix this:
- Plug in your iPhone / iTouch (don’t have iTunes loaded at this time)
- Go to Device Manager (Click Start, right-click Computer, then click Properties. In the window that appears choose “Device Manager” on the left)
- Scroll down and find “Apple iPod” or “Apple iPhone” or “Apple iTouch”. It will likely be under the “Portable Devices” category.IMPORTANT NOTE: If your device is already listed under “Universal serial Bus Controllers” and not Portable Devices, you can skip these steps and go to Step 7.
- Right-click the Apple device and choose “Update Driver Software…”
- Choose “Browse my computer for driver software” in the window that appears
- It will ask you for a location; you want to Browse to this folder (location is the same in 32 and 64 bit Windows):
32-bit and 64-bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
– Click Next
- It should find the driver for your device; let it install that driver
Once you complete these steps, reboot your computer. Once you reboot everything should work exactly as expected!

When connecting Ipod, it doesn't appear in itunes or on desktop (Windows). Attempted to fix.

Restored ipod (through computer)- no success in fixing - and of course, lost all songs in ipod.
Now, ipod sometimes appears in itunes, sometimes doesn't.
I've had a little success transfering songs (albeit, inconsistently) back to ipod from itunes, but sporadically.
Itunes is working fine when playing songs on computer;
Ipod working fine when playing songs on ipod. It's difficult transferring songs back to ipod. I checked cable and port with other equipment. Cable and port appear to be working. When clicking on Safely Remove Hardware, computer identifies ipod as "drive 0." I need help on how to get my ipod to appear in itunes again and fix the transfering problem?

IPod doesn't appear in iTunes

My iPod Touch doesn't appear in ITunes, so of course I can't sync it.
Now, my iPod nano syncs just fine with the same cable and USB connection, so the problem must be with the iPod touch.
When I plug it in, I get that little "chirp" and the battery indicator appears on the screen, but that's it.
Any ideas what's going on? What should I do?

Try here. The iPod touch (and iPhone and iPad) use different drivers than the Nano.

IPod doesn't appear in iTunes or Device Manager.

My iPod has worked fine, until I plugged it into my computer, and attempted to upgrade to version 1.1.4, now my iPod touch doesn't appear when I plug it into my computer. It doesn't appear in iTunes, or in the device manager, it does however start charging. Also, it has completely wiped the enitire memory (Music, photos, videos etc).
I have tryed the "5 R's", restart, reset etc etc. None of it works. I have tryed re-installing everything (iTune, quicktime, etc) and that doesn't work.
I've tryed hard and soft resets, and I've tryed restarting the Apple Mobile Device thingy.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME
Pretty please

I figured it out
You have to put you iPod in recovery mode.
You do this by...
Turning off your iPod properly (hold the top button in for 6 seconds, slide the slider)
Then you hold the home button, an while your still holding it down, connect to your computer.
Keep holding, keep holding when the apple comes up, keep holdin until you see the 'Like to iTunes' picture.
Then iTunes should say it detects an iPod in recovery mode, an it should happen from there

IPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on desktop

My iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop even though it is charging though the firewire. Can anyone help? I tried the steps recommended in the support section of Apple's website, but nothing changed.

My iPod knows it's plugged into my Mac. It charges, shows up in the Finder, and very very occasionally even pops up in iTunes. Here's the thing though, it's about a 1 in 50 chance of iTunes recognising the iPod is plugged in, even when the Finder does.
I've gone through the endlessly entertaining process of restoring the iPod software (it's currently at 2.3, and was when the problem first showed up), unplugging and plugging it in countless times, and finally reinstalling 10.4. Things became flakey, albeit workable, from the day I first installed 10.4.
After reinstalling 10.4, the problems persisted. So when I saw iTunes 4.8 had been released this morning, I hoped a quiet fix had been included. First time it ran, my iPod showed up, but the second time, same old problem. It's present in the Finder, Disk Utility knows it's there, it works with iSync (or did when I last synced anyway), but iTunes usually completely ignores the device.
When it does show its face in iTunes, I haven't done anything special as far as I can tell (well, besides restarted my Mac, reset the iPod, and reconnected it countless times).
I'm lost for options. Next step is calling Apple.

My iPod Classic is in recovery mode and it doesn't appear in iTunes or Windows 8.

Okay, so my 160GB iPod Classic just decided to enter recovery mode for whatever reason. According to the troubleshooting information that I've seen, all I would need to do at that point is connect it to my computer and have iTunes recover it for me. But the problem is that neither iTunes nor Windows 8 seem to notice that it's there. Now, could someone please tell me how to recover my iPod while it's in this state?

did you try to do a soft reset?
Press MENU and the SELECT buttons simultaneously for over 10 sec.
It should reset itself.
Then, if youc onnect it to your computer, does iTUnes recognize it?
