    Hello Amber,
    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 or 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:

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • TS1369 ipod touch not recognized by computer or itunes

    My iPod Touch is not recognized by my computer or itunes. I believe this happened after the recent upgrade for latest fixes.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Also, 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

  • Ipod Shuffle not recognized by computer and iTunes and does not charge

    I connected my iPod to my computer but for some reason, it is not recognized at all by the computer nor iTunes. It doesn't charge either. I have tried all the USB ports and since I have Windows Vista, I cannot use the Restore Utility thingy. I purchased my iPod about 2 years ago so a warranty replacement is out of the question. Since any choices have been kicked off, can anyone find a solution to my problem? TYVM pl0x

    Time to replace it: $49 2nd Gen shuffle at online Apple Store...

  • Ipod is not recognized by computer or itunes

    it still charges when i plug it into the computer though. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    hello,
    have you tried pressing the menu and center buttons simultaneously? this might help iTunes recognize the iPod.
    just a quick note, to get the fastest response and most relevant info related to your 1st Gen. Nano, you can go to the iPod Nano 1st Gen. discussion page.

  • 1st generation ipod touch not recognised by computer or itunes

    My first generation iPod touch is no longer being recognized by my laptop or itunes. It wont charge etc or even show up in my computer. It will how ever charge through other things, such as through an xbox and a power supply. The USB sockets work fine on my laptop, phone connects perfectly, only issue is with the iPod. The trouble shooting only dealt with itunes but none of the issues it bought up were relevant, everything it suggested has been tried and tested and doesn't work. What can i do?

  • The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer

    The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

    Then you're doing something wrong.  Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
    Did you check the purchase history?

  • Ipod not recognized by computer or itunes or anything!

    just got a new ipod after i lost my old mini and when i plug my ipod into my computer using a 2.0 USB port it isnt recognized by my computer or my itunes , it doesnt even make the connection noise. My friends ipods are recognized by my computer and itunes. How do i make it work?

    cant do any of the things in that artical because its a new ipod so i cant re anything to it.
    Have you at least tried the Five R's listed there?
    Another possibility.
    Since your friend has connected their iPod to your computer before (presuming that it's on manual update in iTunes), this could be causing drive letter confusion on your computer.
    In this case, try connecting your friend's iPod to your computer, and re-assigning the drive letter of the iPod:
    Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
    Then, put the iPod into Disk Mode, then follow these steps:
    1 - Don't plug in your friend's iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect the iPod.
    5 - Right-click on the iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign this iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).

    I hope that helps you.

  • My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message

    Hello!
    My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message
    " One or more devices is getting too much power from the USB wire" or sumptin like that.
    I've tried this with two wires, so the problem is not there.
    I reseted the iPod to factory settings but it didn't help.
    Anyone??

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another USB port and computer
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
