Ipod dosent come up on itunes

My ipod is charging but dose not come up on itunes what should i do should i just disconect it from the usb?

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

Did you:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

IPod wont come up in iTunes

When I connect my iPod to my mac, it is reconized by profiler, so the usb ports definetly works, but will not open in iTunes, when I had a pc it would just automaticlly open, it dosen't here.

Hi skippertech;
Since you are looking for help with an iPod, of type unknown, maybe you would have better luck if you posted over in the forum for whatever iPod you are having the problem getting connected.

I've forgot my passcode on my Ipod and it says Ipod is disabled connect to itunes, but when i connect it to itunes it doesn't even come up at the side, i don't mind if i lose everything just what do i do?

this is the second time i have forgotten my passcode to my ipod touch, the first time i had no problem with resetting everything, it worked fine, this time it says ipod is disabled connect to itunes, so i plug it into my laptop and i sit there staring at the side bar on itunes till it comes up with my ipod, but it doesn't, when i do this on another computer it lets me restore it, but then it stops halfway and said cannot do this since ipod is locked with a passcode, please enter the passcode and try again, but if i cant get into it how can i put in my passcode? is there any way that i can find out my passcode, or any other way i can reset my ipod
its an ipod touch 4th generation

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:

HT1386 Ive been through the troubleshooting. My ipad (1st G) &my ipod touch wont come up in itunes when connect them 2 my comp. It's not the USB cord or ports, everything is updated &my app store wont come up on ipad when on wifi. how to fix these probs

My ipad (1st Generation) and my ipod touch will not come up in itunes when I connect them to my computer. My computer is a MAC and it is brand new with the updated system. Also, when I am connected to my wireless internet at home, my app store will open on my ipod touch, but it will not open on my ipad.
My USB ports work with other devices that I have, such as my camera, and I have tried plugging in the ipad and ipod to different USB ports on the computer, but itunes still won't recognize them. The USB cord that I use works. I know this because I use the same cord to plug into the wall charger and it charges both the ipad and ipod fine. Also, my itunes has been updated to the most recent version (I update it every time that it's an option). I HAVE noticed, though, that my ipad and ipod never ask me to update itunes on the actual devices themselves.
What can I do to solve this issue??? THANKS!

Back up first (Time machine) as much as possible.
Un-install and re install Itunes.
First and foremost download the updated iTunes from apple website. After downloading Uninstall itunes and all its component ( Dont worry, itunes library where your movies and music is located will not be deleted. Please follow instructions on the apple support page). The problem might be the AppleMobileDevice.kext

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You mean it appears in My Computer but not in iTunes? If so, check this first:

TS1717 I plug in my Ipod but it doesn't come up in Itunes like it did before. Can anyone help? Thanks

I plug in my Ipod but it doesn't come up in Itunes like it did before. It always came up under Genres, etc. I don't know what to do. There is an Icon on the top Right of the screen and when I click on it the information on my Ipod comes up. I can't do anything w/it after that. I would appreciate any help at all. Thanks to any and all.

Make iTunes 11 look and function more like iTunes 10:
From the upper left corner, choose “Show Menu bar”
From the “View” menu, choose, “Show Sidebar”
Now your iPod device shows up as is did before.

My ipod touch 4g is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to update to iOS 5. My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics. Please help

My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

You can try 2 things:
Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.
