Ipod icon not coming up

i just bought a ipod classic and just subscribed and downloaded itunes,
i downloaded all my cds to itunes but when i plug my ipod into the computer
nothing appears on the itune (i guess a ipod icon should appear so that
i can transfer all my music to my ipod) hellllllllp

I think Im having a similar problem with my second ipod classic 80Gb.
Initially I had trouble getting the first ipod to be recognized by my PC but eventually it recognised it, I named the ipod and had no more problems from then on. But I had no idea what I did to make it work.
When I connect the second ipod it says it is connected on the ipod and the PC recognises it as a device that is working properly with the right driver but it wont show in My computer as a drive and I cant get tot he "Getting Started" stage to name the ipod. I have tried numerous things including reinstalling itunes, reloading the driver, disconnecting all other usb accesories ect.
Can someone please Help??

IPod icon not available in iTunes and Desktop

Okay gang here's one for you. While working on my Mac G4, I had ejected my iPod icon as I was getting ready to shut down for the day. Next day after downloading music from iTunes I suddenly noticed I no longer had the iPod icon on iTunes or my desktop.I have the U2 4th generation iPod. I have tried everythintg except standing on my head while doing the five R's. Nothing has brought back the icon. My iPod is fully charged and plays, but I can not place the new music in my library on it. HEEEELP PLEEEEASE!!!!!! Thanks

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Ipod icon not in 'source' list

HELP! On accedent...(I didn't think I needed to read the manual because by brother was showing me how to work it) I disconected the iPod when it said 'do not disconnect' just a couple of times. Is that a big deal? Only once has the little ipod icon appeared in the 'source' list. It isn't appearing now. It won't download or upload (or whatever) my other songs that I just put into my library. I tried 'authorizing' and 'deauthorizing'. It worked once, but it won't work now. Apparently, a bunch of people are having trouble with iTunes 5.0. Apple are you out there? What do I do? ANYBODY...PLEASE HELP!!!

Never mind I sort of fixed that. I REregistered my ipod, and now it recognizes my ipod. But it won't let me load on the songs I bought from the music store, only the songs from my cd's. I tried to deauthorize my computer, but I don't think that did anything. That may be because I don't have the main desktop, I have my own seperate desktop. If you know what to do...please tell me!!

IPod icon not showing in settings so can't set up homeshare, how do I sort

Trying to set up home share but in settings there is no iPod icon has anyone any ideas,thanks

On iOS 5 + the iPod app has been renamed as Music, and if you are connected to a network you should get an option under Settings > Music for Home Sharing where you can type in your iTunes account and password - if you are not connected to a network then you won't get that option. If you've also enabled it on your computer's iTunes, and iTunes is open on your computer, then you should see an option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app for accesing your Shared library

What do i do if my iPod is not coming on

Hello,
I have had my iPod touch for about a year now and last night I locked it and it has not come on since then. I would like to know what I can do
I have a blue iPod touch 5th generation 32 GB running iOS 8.0.2.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

IChat AV mulit user Video Icon not coming up can't do multi video

Help.
I am trying to use the Multi video conference feature on iChat AV on different G5 dual processor machines but the multi video icon does not appear. My final goal is to host with the machine I am listed here and allow the other users to use theie G4 Power books.
I have tried using Jabber, .Mac, and AIM accounts but none have given me the icon and/or allowed me to set up a multi video conference chat. I am also using all iSight cameras so the environment is pure Apple as it should be.
Any help or show me to a discussion board?

Hi Ralph,
Good that your tables/annoucements begin to look quite good!
About "the Cron scripts in the early hours",
please have a read of this Tiger-updated info:
you still need to run the "cron scripts" manually, once or twice a month is plenty, but there is an enhancement since 10.4.2 that allows to sleep at night, and meant to have the tasks automatically run. Not yet fully reliable though.
Details and a simple example:

My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either. This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed. How can I get it going again?

My IPod is not showing up in my Itunes, I tried my phone as well and it is not coming up either. I have tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling. It worked the other day but it is not working now. Please somebody help me!!! What to do?

Hello,
Can someone please help me!? I am trying to put music on my IPod and it was working the other day. I can not get itunes to recognize my Ipod. I have tried to unistall and reinstall Itunes. I have tried all the steps on the site and can't get it to come up. I tried my IPhone which was also showing up just the other day and it also is not showing in Itunes! Please help me. I need to be able to put music on my IPod for my work.

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.
