IPod doesn't appear in the finder nor on the desktop when connected

Hi,
My iPod touch 2nd gen doesn't appear in the finder nor on the desktop when connected, is it normal maybe because its a flash drive and not a harddrive, I don't know...
By the way, everything is normal with iPhoto and iTunes.
Sincerely

The Touch and iPhone do not have disk mode, that is why you can't see it.

  • IPod doesn't appear in iTunes 7 or on my desktop

    After recieving my new MacBook Pro, and upgrading to iTunes 7.02, transferring all of my music and files from my PC to my new Mac, and then restoring the iPod (5th Gen, 60gb) and syncing it to the new iTunes (big mistake, had i known this earlier...) my Mac and my PC won't recognize my iPod. It will recognize other people's iPods, using the same USB cord, but not mine. The library plays just fine. I've tried just about everything, the 5 R's, "downgrading" to iTunes 6, on both computers, completly deleting everything music related on my Mac, and then redownloading: still nothing works.
    I've been searching on this site for awhile now, but I still havn't really found anything to help me out.
    At least Im not the only one with this same problem.
    My iPod plays and charges fine, I just can't upload any music onto it.
    Any suggestions would be VERY helpful. Good thing my 1 yr warranty just expired last week, haha.

    well, I did a full restore to original settings (it didn't let me back out to 1.2, so it's still 1.2.1), and everything is working fine now. or was. it just had a problem playing music this morning (the play triangle came on but the music didn't start/progress bar didn't move) until I reset (holding menu and center down for 10 seconds). that was one of the other issues I'd seen before too. I don't want to reload 70G of stuff once a week. I'm a bit bummed about this.
    So far the computer is still seeing it when I plug it in. The only thing I did different this time is I don't have "enable disk use" turned on (yet). I did try multiple ports, direct on the computer and through the back of the cinema display. for those of you that it's not working for don't forget to check the hardware profile and see if the usb internal hub sees it. for me the iPod OS seemed to freeze up -- even if I unplugged it I would have to reset it before I could get it to bring the menus back up. It definately acted like a software issue of some kind.
    Okay, I just turned "enable disk use" on, disconnected and reconnected and had the same failure I used to have after a number of no-problem connections. besides turning that on, I let Delicious Library write it's files into the notes sections, I did nothing else. I turned "enable disk use" back off and it connected just fine (twice so far).
    I guess I'll leave that off for now. best of luck to those whose problem isn't as easy to fix.

  • 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?

    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.

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • Remote disk doesn't appear in my finder.  also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

    remote disk doesn't appear in my finder.  also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

    Hi i also had a recent problem with a stuck cd in my 12" powerbook slot loading drive. I would suggest attempting all the operating system problem solvers first that are covered in other discussions on this site, such as holding down alt + command(apple logo thingy) + F + O straight away when starting up your computer. This brings you to the open firmware where you type "eject cd."
    My problem seemed more physical than a glitch in the operating system The CD would try to eject several times each time failing with a horrid grinding unhealthy sound as if something was blocking it. After a while the computer seemed to disable the act of even trying to eject the disc and the cd would not be recognize on my desktop or anywhere else.
    After days of suffering and failed attempts I managed to get the disc out by getting another cd that was not important, and placing it in the mouth of the slot loading drive and carefully bending the cd gently in a wrist swiveling manor so that the slot got pushed wider. This sounds foolish behavior I know, but cds have a nice flex to them which softens contact with the soft aluminum metal. After a slight widening I tried ejecting once more and it thankfully worked. The disc that came out was incredibly scratched so I came to conclusion that the drive had been squashed a little bit down the line.
    Any way hope this works and sorry about the essay.

  • I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina. Checked my OSX and it is version 10.8.1... trying to find a way to upgrade to a higher version. In the app store it doesnt show the update nor downloading the new Mountain Lion OXS doesnt work. Please help

    hienn,
    Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

    I just upgraded my Internet service to 12 MPS. It doesn't appear to work any faster than the 3MPS I had before. The AT&T guy said it may be the computer rather than the connection. I have an iMac intel core 2 duo, running OS 10.5.8. It has 1 GB of memory. I have plenty of memory left. Is there something I can check on the computer to see if it's capable of running faster with this new Internet upgrade?

    You certainly are going to see improvements if you download big files, i.e. Apple updates, or watching trailers also at higher resolution.
    You won't see much difference if you use peer to peer download.

  • When clicking on the Finder icon in the dock the Main Menu grays out ... what's wrong ... how do I fix?

    Product: iMac, OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
    Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 32 GB 160 MHz DDr3
    Storage: 3.12 TB Fusion Drive
    PROBLEMS:
    1. When clicking on the Finder icon in the dock, the main menu grays out and the window with documents, applications etc., does not pop up.
    2. iMac is not showing up in iCloud.com and, not syncing with my MacBook Pro, iPad Mini and iPhone.
    This situation seemed to appear after doing updates on my iMac.
    TROUBLESHOOTING I'VE TRIED:
    1. rebooted,
    2. repaired permissions,
    3. booted in safe-mode and let the basic tests run then rebooted to normal mode. Afterwards, the problem seemed to be corrected, however, it re-appeared shortly thereafter and still exists.

    Go to the Finder's General preference pane and reset the New Finder windows show: option.  Try changing it to some other folder, try it and then back again.
    If that doesn't jump start it try moving the com.apple.finder.plist file from your Home/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop, reboot and then reset the Finder preferences.
    For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!
