IPod doesn't appear in My COmputer or iTunes

ok, I use to use my iPod on my PC, now I use it on my laptop, so I installed iTunes on my laptop attached it, and of course I get the little prompt about link it to "this" computer, this being my laptop, which would then erase everything on my iPod, I said no because I wanted to back up all my files on my PC iTunes, so I did but now my iPod appears on neither My Computer or iTunes. Can someone help?

Same here, except i tried to restore my ipod because it wouldnt load any more music even though there was plenty of space. Now my ipod is musicless and its not showing up on itunes or my computer.

I can't get my new (used) iPod shuffle to appear in My Computer or iTunes Devices

I can't get my used iPod shuffle to appear in My Computer or iTunes Devices. Any ideas?

Which iPod shuffle model is it? This article about syncing the shuffle shows the four types.

As a test, you can try shutting down (powering off) and disconnecting all USB devices (including hub). Start it up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected (if it's not a laptop). Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB port.

My ipod does not appear in my computer nor itunes

my ipod does not appear in My Computer neither in Itunes> i am unable to load anything into ipod. it is a new ipod

Have you tried the troubleshooting here:

Ipod does not appear in My Computer or Itunes

I copy many files to my 60Gb's Ipod yesterday(In the "Notes" folder-Around 13Gb). Then I ejected it and it worked as usuall(Plays Music and I could see the files on "Notes" ). But today I connected it to the computer and it does not appear. I have uninstalled and installed Itunes again...I did the same with the Windows Xp, but it does not work. When I plug it on the computer, the computer freezes. I tried to plug it on other Computers and it does not work aswell.
What do I need to do to make the Ipod work again?

Hi Stefano!
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer.
If it is sucessfully recognized in iTunes, then try restoring it.

Doesn't appear in My Computer or iTunes but still charges?

About six months ago I purchased a 4GB iPod Nano (3rd Generation). It has worked for me perfectly until the past week.
I hook my USB cable up, plug in my iPod, and it dings multiple times instead of just once like it used too. It is no longer showing up in iTunes or My Computer, although it does charge.
I first thought it to be a faulty cable, so I borrowed my friends, same thing happened.
I then thought a faulty port, so I tried my three other ports and still nothing.
I think there may be something wrong with my iPod because I hooked up my cousin's iPod up with my cable and it worked perfectly fine, it showed up in My Computer and iTunes, unlike my iPod.
Any suggestions, tutorials, just anything would be greatly appreciated!

Ok.
Try connecting the iPod to the computer, and then when the iPod shows "Do Not Disconnect", reset the iPod while it is connected to the computer...
Reset iPod
Leave it connected while it boots up and then see if Windows recognizes it. See if that does the trick.
Also, make sure you've gone through these steps...

Finally, try reinstalling iTunes (and restarting your computer after)...

When it installs, make sure there aren't any funny error messages or anything like that.

TS1363 iPod doesn't show up on computer after iTunes update.

Less then a month and it was working just fine. Did the new download for iTunes and now the iPod won't work. The computer will not see it and the message telling me that a iPod is there but ... I can't remember... I have waisted the whole day using every option on every page ever listed on this thing. If I can't get a fix other then what I have already tried, I will take it back to the store, get my money back and buy a different product. I was warned not to buy Apple, I thought that I was safe as this was made more then a year ago and is still listed on most lists as one of the best. WRONG!

there are a million posts about this SAME issue. A LOT of people's crashed right around thanksgiving, or whenever itunes 6 came, some people on the discussions page have found fixes but they don't work for everybody... if you are using a PC and not an iMac then ur going to have to go through a lot of steps. Whereas if you buy an iMac (which ipods just so happen to be compatible with) then ur not going to have too many problems. COINCIDENCE???

My iPhone doesn't appear on My Computer after iTunes installation, how do I fix it?

Hello, I just installed the latest version of iTunes on my Windows 8 Developer Preview. Suddenly my iPhone disappear on My Computer. How do I fix it?

sounds like your LCD is broken. Replacing it would fix your problem. If you're handy with mechanical things you can replace it yourself, there are plenty of video's online who show you how. Order the parts and do it yourself, or you can pay roughly $50-75 to have it replaced.

My ipod doesn't charge or come up on itunes on my computer. What can I do?

If it still does not work after restoring to factory settings/new iPod that either indicates a hardware problem with the iPod or that the doc is not compatible with your model iPod and iOS. you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to hear what they have to say.
