Ipod hooked up; not showing on desktop or in itunes

As of today, I'm having problems with my MacBook recognizing my ipod nano 2G. I've already tried the 5 R's and all that, but nothing is working. Suggestions?

Hey thanx but this isn't working.. i have had my ipod for about a week now.. it took me 2 days to actually get sons on it. i was plugging it in and it said it was syncining and it was complete, but no songs were loaded on. Then by chance one day they just loaded on. A couple of days later i went to charge it up and now it "USB device not recognized- one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned,and windows does not recognize this" when i got through the link that you gave me http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
it doesnt show up as "ipod" or "mass storage device" instead it is "unknown device" when i go to update my driver it says that there is no better driver than what i am using. wheni right click on the device and select properties then driver then driver details it says "no driver files are required or have been loaded for this device" i have tried the five R's, i have tried re-installing itunes i am stuck for ideas! i have spent more hours trying to fix my ipod than i have spent listening to my music. This would have to be the worst purchase that i have ever made!! PLEASE HELP

  • Ipod touch does not show up under Devices in iTunes, but it does in iPhoto

    My iPod touch does not show up under Devices in iTunes, but it does show up under iPhoto.  Can anyone help troubleshoot this problem?

  • TS1591 iPod 7th gen not showing up in iTunes (Macbook Pro) on first try

    hi guys. i have an ipod 7th gen and just recently bought a macbook pro. what i noticed right away was that whenever i try to plug in and update my ipod, the icon shows up on the desktop but the iPod itself does not show up in iTunes. i have to unplug then re-plug in my iPod and that usually does the trick. a trick which is annoying to do because im sure most people with iPods dont have this problem. help please

    Hey there Miles,
    It sounds like your iPod isn't showing in iTunes when you connect it to your Mac. I would start with this bit from the following article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3716
    First, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod.
    If you still cannot get the device to appear in iTunes, use the following link to help troubleshoot it:

  • Items on ipod that do not show up on Device list, want to remove them

    A pod cast and a video I downloaded from itunes and copied to my ipod are on my ipod but when I connect the ipod they do not show up on the lists of items on the device. I can see and play them on the ipod, but cannot find them on the list of items on the ipod when I connect to itunes...
    I want to remove them and can't
    baffled....

    They should be able to help you. You must have the iPod set to manually managed. Podcasts generally work best when set to auto-sync.
    To find these files it is easiest to create a smart playlist on the iPod itself with the right rules to find the files while it is set to manually manage. To delete files through a smart playlist you will need to hold the "Alt" key on the keyboard then hit the Delete key. Atl/Delete is for Mac but may be a combination of Delete and Shift, Control, or Windows key on Windows PCs.

  • Camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected

    Kodak camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected.  Trying to download pictures and adding my music to ipod shuffle, Anyone have any suggestions.

    Have you plugged in another USB device to ensure that the USB ports are working?
    Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Does the Ipod Classic 120 GB still connect to itunes? Because mine will not show up at all in itunes!

    My Ipod classic will not show up in itunes at all but it says its charging and that it is connected to the computer! I have my itunes updated fully and it still does not work! So i am thinking that maybe its not able to connect anymore because of the new usb connecters or the version of itunes! But i dont know so i really hope i can get this resolved!

    Hello Riio312,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes.  I found a couple of articles that might help with this. 
    If you don't see your iPod in the My Computer section of Windows, follow the steps in this article:
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    If Windows recognizes your iPod but iTunes does not, follow the steps in this article:

  • IPod Touch is not showing up in My Computer

    I realize that there are several other topics that talk about this problem, but so far none have really helped me. My goal is to have my iPod Touch be recognized as a camera so I can upload all my photos from my Saved Photos to my computer and finally clear up some much needed space on it. Please don't refer me to software that will allow me to move photos from my iTouch to my PC because either they are all only trial versions or they don't allow me to access the images from my Saved Photos album.
    Currently my iPod Touch does not show up in My Computer. I'm running Windows XP. Checking my Device Manager for the driver, the only driver that comes up that relates to my iPod is called Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling that driver (and one I was able to get the iPod to show up in My Computer as a camera but when I clicked on it, it said that there were no pictures in the device [and I clearly do], and after uninstalling the driver again and reinstalling it the icon went away). I've read that maybe uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling it might fix my problem, but I'm weary to uninstall it for fear that I might loose all my applications that I've synced into iTunes as well as my purchases and all the movies and things I've downloaded.
    If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or further questions about my problem, PLEASE say so because this is very urgent and I need all the help I can get.

    Also, I forgot to add that my iTouch is a 1st Gen I believe (I'm sorry, I got it for a Christmas gift, but I'm pretty sure it's a 1st Gen).

  • My ipod touch is not showing up on itunes

    my ipod touch is not showing up in devices on itunes

    Unplugit then replug it and that should work. If not unplug your iPod , on your computer right click my computer>manage>Services>iPod service>right click stop service> Then click restart service.
    Pug your iPod back in, and that should fix it.

    Did you try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Next try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
