Ipod not recognized in itunes but is in windows

okay, what should i do here, i followed all the steps in the article on this on the support site, i reinstalled, disabled conflicting processes, every step in that article about if my ipod is recognized by windows but not itunes, what should i do now??? cuz i'm baffled, my ipod is flashing do not disconnect, and has the spinning icon in the top left corner indicating that it is doing something, is there anything i should do to get it recognized in itunes?

Hi, I kind of have a similar problem. I have two Ipods. One is an Ipod video and the other is a 4GB ipod nano. And i'm having problems with the nano. My girlfriend once disconnected while it was playing on itunes. Since then i haven't been able to get it to work. I've tried everything. Windows won't recognize it and neither does Itunes or the updater. When I open the updater it says initializing and it freezes. Itunes wont read it at all, and windows, well when i go to "safely remove hardware" it comes up there it says "Apple Ipod USB devie". I'm not sure if its recognizing it at all. But it wont disconnect it. The nano itself works fine! Well actually when she disconnected it the nano wouldn't turn off. Until i connected back to the computer and restored it. And thats when it wouldnt' come up on my PC. If anyone can please help me, or has had the same problem and worked around it, any advice will be greatly appreciated . . .thanks

My ipod is recognized in itunes but it doesnt not respond 2 uploads

My ipod is recognized by my computer and the itunes sidebar but it doesnt upload songs that are in my library into the ipod itself. I've tried uninstalling the itunes program and reinstalling it but it doesnt work. i've also restored my ipod but that didn't work either. please help me i haven't been able to figure it out for a while!! is there any way i can fix it, or should i take it to the ipod store??

Is the iPod connected to the same computer you normally sync it with or is this a new/different iTunes library?
If it's a different computer, that would explain the problem as an iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. If you want to connect the iPod with a new/different iTunes library, you must restore the iPod to factory settings first to associate the iPod with the new library.
If it's the same computer, are you sure you don't have your iPod configured for manual management. In other words, is the Manually manage music option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?\

Ipod appears empty on itunes, but still says 9GB used! pls help.

I connected my ipod to a friends computer, and it seems to have 'wiped' it. The ipod shows up in itunes, but there is no music on it. However, it says at the bottom (and in exlporer) that I have used 9GB, so I assume my music is still on it. No music shows up on the actual ipod either, but my photos are stil on it. I can't figure out whats happening!
I would be very grateful for help!
Thanks

I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
What is "it" and what is "windows"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery 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 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.

IPod Touch recognized by iTunes, but not Vista

I've recently re-installed vista and now I have a recognition issue. When connecting the ipod for the first time since the re-install it does the usual "new hardware found" and tells me that the ipod is ready for use only it won't show in My Computer, or in the list of devices I can safely remove. iTunes recognizes it, and so does Device Manager, which is odd. Whenever I connect the iPod windows makes the usual device connected sound, but it never shows in My Computer which means that other media programs I might want to use to transfer music to and from the iPod won't recognize it either. I've gone through the steps for the usual "not recognized by iTunes" and "recognized as a camera" troubleshooting since my problem doesn't seem to be as common as those. So far I've got no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

You need to install iTunes in order to install the necessary drivers.

IPod is recognized by iTunes but songs won't show up on device

I bought a brand new 32gb ipod touch 5th generation last weekend. I put about 8gb of music onto it. the music displayed under the "on my device" section of my ipod in itunes however when i disconnected my ipod the only songs on it were ones that were purchased through itunes. I contacted apple support twice and both times was told to restore my device and put everything back on again. the second time the process worked by syncing only certain artists/albums but not with single songs.
when i finally got it to sync (after a total of 8 hours wasted and 35gb of music added and removed after 2 full resets) some of the album art doesnt show, the song titles/artists don’t show up, it plays the wrong songs. all my music is tagged correctly and i cant figure out why this won't work. all the songs i added show up as "unknown title/unknown artist" yet when i click them they all play songs with titles and artists
i dont know why i cant just drag and drop songs like every other ipod i’ve ever had (a total of 5 over the years). if anyone can help me with this i'd really appreciate it. I've wasted so much time on this and apple chat support is broken right now

Remove and reinstall iTunes by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Next, try
Try DFU mode and then restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Try on another computer as a test to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem. You will have to restore the iPod on this computer.
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod classic recognized by iTunes, but does not sync properly...

When I sync (automatically or manually, I've tried both) my 160gb iPod on iTunes, the iPod says "Syncing" for a few moments before changing to "connected" (as if it were done syncing). My iTunes shows that the iPod is syncing, yet nothing happens.
I have reset my iPod, and restarted my notebook, but this problem seems to persist. I have not restored my iPod and/or removed iTunes and reloaded it, as both of these take significant time.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would go the restore route myself. Shouldn't take super long. Ya not quick, but sure beats not being able to sync it at all.
Cheers,
Patrick

HELP! My ipod shows up in itunes but none of the songs show up.

I need HELP. I just restored my ipod mini and manually put my songs from home onto my ipod. Everything worked great. I took my ipod to my work to download a few podcast and when I connect it to the computer, Itunes opens and recognizes my ipod. BUT there are no songs listed under Device/Ipod/Music etc. I can drag and drop a podcast to the music file and it acts as tho it transfers fine and shows up in the music file. When I disconnect and try to find it on my ipod it is not there. Why don't my songs (384 songs on my ipod)show up under Device/Ipod/Music ???? I have spent half the day trying to check the support and no one seems to have this problem. I am not able to update the playlist or anything. It recongizes my ipod but not anything on it. I am baffled. Please Help! Thanks

IPod not recognized in iTunes, but my iPhone is

I used several different apple USB cords and they all recognize my phone, but not my iPod... It just charges
I plug my iPod into my laptop and its charging but no iPod icon is popping up in my itunes.. can someone help??? But my iPhone gets recognized instantly
Message was edited by: AlexV1

I don't know if this work 100%, since both my iPod Touch and wife's iPhone were not being recognized. Thus, I knew it was not the USB cable or ports. Worth a shot, though...
In one forum, I tried something and it worked.
In Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor, I stopped iTunes Helper.
Then I downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of iTunes.
Once I restarted iTunes and plugged in my devices, they appeared just like they used to.
Hope this helps.

IPod Classic recognized by iTunes, but won't sync? (Windows 8)

iTunes recognizes it and I can go to the menu that displays the filled memory, options (enables disk use, sync only checked songs, etc.), and "sync" button. The iPod screen says that it is connected and charging, and it does not freeze. The computer doesn't have any issues; iTunes (11.0.0.163) doesn't crash or anything.
Everything seems fine, but when I click the "sync" button, nothing happens. I tried changing some settings and hitting "apply" instead to sync it, but that doesn't work either.
My computer is running Windows 8, and I've heard that some people have been having problems with using iTunes on this operating system. The only solution I've found is to make sure disk use is enabled, but that hasn't worked for me (it seems to only apply to newer models of iPod, not my Classic). I honestly don't know what I'll do if Windows 8 is incompatible with Classics because I just spent a lot of money on the iPod and this is the only computer I can use!
I'd love some help with this. Solutions are preferable of course, but even if you can just identify whether this is a problem with me/my computer or with Apple vs Windows, it'd be much appreciated! Thanks

What seems to have worked is checking "manually manage music and videos" and dragging all my music onto my iPod, instead of just letting the normal iTunes sync work.
I'm still upset about this, but as long as I can SOMEHOW get music on my iPod, I can wait until Apple fixes this problem. Which they better do.
