Ipod "Forgetting" songs, and Does not get recongnized by Itunes...

Hello,
I have a problem with my Ipod 40GB Black & white Screen w/ clickwheel.
This problem has happened before but now it just got worse.
My Ipod "Forgot" all og my songs, I can't see any of them.
Now beforehand, I would normally plug it in, which I did, and Itunes opened and showed me all of my songs on the Ipod. So, I Ejected my Ipod. And I turned it on, nothing, the songs were still missing.
So I went to try plugging it in the next day... Itunes opens up, but it never shows my iPod.
Even though Itunes does not recognize it, Windows does detect it and I am able to access it as the disk.
No it is not in disk mode either. and resetting it didn't help.
Then I went to try it in another computer, same problem, Itunes opens up but never shows my Ipod, but Windows Still recognizes it and shows it as a removable drive.
What can I do?
Nick

Try DFU mode and then restore

Next try on another computer.
Problems like yours happens since downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • I have an ipod classic 120gb. Its not getting recognized by itunes.

    I have an ipod classic 120gb. Its not getting recognized by itunes and i am unable to format it even though it says i must if i want it to appear on itunes. It does'nt work on any computer so its not the usb. ive reset it a few times but no luck. Any ideas?
    Here is some of the info i got, im not sure however what they represent.
    Retracts: 534
    Reallocs: 216
    Pending Sector: 62
    PowerOn: 1253
    Smart/Stop: 469
    Temp:Current 27c
    Temp:Min 5c
    Temp:Max 56c

    If Windows or Mac can recognise it, then reformat it using a Hardisk Partition tool, if not, it is time to replace the Hardisk.
    The High Pending Number, indicates some bad cluster, which Hardisk firmware can't reallocate or remapped. This maybe due to, leaving the iPod in a Hot environment, damaging the Hardisk.

    Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
    You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Generation does not get to start-up screen

    Help!
         my ipod touch 3rd generation will not load the start-up screen but follows a cycle, connecting to the USB port of a computer the ipod shows Battery Low
    Indication; after about 3 minutes of charging the Apple logo appears and remains for approximately 3-5 minutes before the ipod turns off, and this cycles with
    battery charge.
    The ipod cannot be reset, and when connected to a computer running iTunes the ipod is not recognised, leaving me unable to follow the restoration or recovery
    instructions found on this site.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong and a potential solution to the problem?

    See if this program will get the iPod i recovery mode:

  • IPod keeps blinking and does not start up!

    Hi,
    I braught an iPod of model number A1236 a year back. And did not use it for past 6 months.
    Yesterday, I tried connecting it and it was working fine. Unfortunately, I just pulled off the USB cable without a safe remove of USB from windows or an eject from iTunes.
    From that time, whenever I connect my iPod to my windows XP pro machine, the screen keeps blinking with the apple logo. Niether its recognized as USB device by windows nor iTunes recognizes it.
    I tried, the troubleshooting steps provided in apple iPod technical site, none of them helped and I am also not able to put the iPod to disk mode.
    I am not sure whats to be done next and I am afraid if I spoiled my iPod. Please suggest what to do next..
    Thanks,
    Jade

Now I do not get the charging indicator. Is there anything I can do?

    Probably needs a new battery. 

  • Ipod touch or iphone does not show up in itunes

    Ok. So I have had this ongoing problem. Whenever I install an update to either itunes or my touch or iphone, itunes no longer detects the device. I have tried deleting the apple mobile device usb driver and letting it reinstall, powering on and off the devices and the computer, differnt usb ports, different usb cables. The only way I can get itunes to see the devices again is to completely remove all apple sw and reinstall. This is too time consuming to put up with  anymore. Now today, after a complete reinstall last night and no updated software of any kind itunes does not see my devices again. Windows detects the devices and mobile device usb driver comes up in device manager with no conflicts.
    Unless someone can point me in the right direction, I am giving up on itunes and apple.
    Windows 7 with latest gen itouch and iphone 4s.

  • Change in Country code does not get reflected in iTunes in iPhone

    Hi,
    I just moved to USA from India. In my apple id, I changed the contact info, and country code and ofcourse the payment card details. Then I synced up my iPhone on my laptop. When I try to search the apps (Bank Of America Mobile Banking) which are available on USA Store are not visible on my iTunes app on iPhone. But they are visible in iTunes on my laptop.
    I have rebooted my iPhone, laptop and then synced them. Still the issue remains.
    Thanks in Advance
    Anand

    I got it..
    Just tried to install an free application which was available in India store. Then I got a message saying I cannot use store from this country and it took me to USA store. From there I could download necessary app from USA store.

  • IPod Touch shows up on My Computer, but freezes iTunes, and does NOT show up on iTunes, how can i fix this?

    I have honestly spent countless hours trying to fix this, I FINALLY got it to show in My Computer, driver is updated, I have re-installed iTunes numerous times, recently did a FRESH Windows 7 Ultimate re-install, i can't restore the iPod (because it has been restored, and I can't even access it via iTunes) My iPod is NOT broken, it works on my laptop fine, it shows up on iTunes and My Computer, no problem. However, I need to use my iPod on my main computer for songs (iPod's practically new by the way) Like my question states, my iTunes freezes up, and it's very strange because it freezes, then a couple minutes later iTunes works fine, BUT my iPod doesn't show up on the side like it's supposed to. I've done everything, I hope I get some good support, thanks in advance!
    ~Thomas
    Edit: I have the latest update for the driver, and iTunes, iPod has 4.3.3
