Ipod isn't showing up as a removable disk

It connects to Itunes no problem but it won't connect to my hard drive for some reason.

So you are saying that it does not show in My Computer?
Have you tried:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer       
Have you installed any camera or scanner sofwtare?

  • Ipod isn't showing up as a playlist for easy transfer of manually selected songs?

    Hey Apple Support Community.  Previously iTunes allowed me to add songs individually to fill up my ipod bu right clicking and adding the song to the ipod by way of the "add song to playlist" option in the drop down box.  Sunddenly my ipod isn't showing up as a playlist for easy transfer of manually selected songs?  I've had to create a temporary playlist and use the "autofill" on the ipod screen to add the songs I want.  It's kind-of tedious.  What happened?  Has iTunes changed the way you're allowed to fill up your ipod?  Or is there some glitch in my ipod that iTunes can't see it so as to provide it as an option for being a playlist?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
    mike

    a few typos:
    "bu" should be "by"....fill up my ipod by right clicking...
    "Sunddenly" of course should be "Suddenly"

    What file system format is the iPod formatted with?  FAT32? To check, right->click on your iPod's from under Computer and choose Properties.
    Have you tried to reformat it yet to see if that resolves the issue?

  • Ipod has been reformatted and now shows up as a removable disk drive any he

    I-pod has been reformatted and now shows up in windows as a removable disk drive can not get updater to recognize. any help?

    Wow...I never thought there would ever be such a screwy problem like this on such a large scale....has anyone noticed how many similar posts have been posted in the last week or so? Not saying this never happens to anyone--in fact, it's happened to me beofre, but it was simple to fix...but the same problem happening with so many people at about the same time*...I don't know, it's kind of strange...anyway....
    Yeah, I'm a Mac/Apple guy to the core, and have been since 7th grade (about 11-12 years now). Yet, I can't help but look at my iPod as if it has self-destructed. I was listening to it (w/ tape adapter, of course) on the way home in the car, then unplugged it for literally five minutes, got into my apartment, plugged it in my dell Latitude, and poof it had been reformatted. So, the moment I plugged it in, its funcionality basically vanished. The 5 R's have been useless thus far, and I can't even reformat using Explorer, because Windows tells me that the 1 GB iPod now has no storage capacity. ***? Strange, strange. Anyhow, sorry for the rambling, but this really confounds and frustrates me. APPLE....HELP US PLEASE!
    *Don't get me wrong: I'm not a conspiracy nut; it's just hard to wrap my mind around this right now.

  • 4thGen iPod isn't showing up in iTunes

    I have a classroom set of iPod 4th gen that I am trying to update using a different MacBook than I had used previously.  I am logged into my iTunes account for the ipods but the ipods do not show up on the computer.  Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

    See:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Note that you can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. So if you update on a different computer the iPod is erased and replaced with the media in the iTunes library of the new computer.

  • None of my songs that i bought on Itunes are downloading and my Ipod isn't showing up it keeps saying apple moblie device servcie?

    Type "apple mobile device service" into the search bar at the top of this page by "Support" and read the resulting help articles.

  • IPod nano being read by Windows as "Removable Disk"

    I have a 4gb nano, current firmware 1.1.1. Now, I've updated it before to the music on iTunes (back when it was on 1.0), but then one day, the iPod suddenly showed the exclamation/folder icon. So I restored the iPod with firmware 1.1 (it recommended I update, so I did), but my computer couldn't recognize the iPod. It kept showing a little baloon (I'm using XP) saying that the device could not be written to (only when I unplugged it, however). So, I thought that maybe it was just trying to write to it very slowly, but after leaving it there for a day, supposedly "writing" to the iPod, there were no results. I updated to 1.1.1, thinking that maybe 1.1 had a bug that caused this, but then I was confronted with the problem of nothing recognizing it at all. Windows now shows the iPod as a "Removable Disk", and when I double click it, it shows the loading mouse for about a minute; until it says
    "E:\ is not accessible.
    The Files or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
    NOTE: I have NEVER used any third party software like linux or "hacked" my iPod.
    So, after looking around, I followed the method here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Because I could see the device in My Computer but couldn't open it, and iTunes didn't recognize it.
    However, it was not a success, so I tried the method here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343
    But that also didn't work. I am now at a loss for explanation, can anyone help me? This is my mother's iPod, and she's leaving on a business trip in two days; I'd like to get her music back on it so she can use the iPod on the plane. Any ideas?

    It wasn't being recognized by anything... including the updater. But after searching through other threads, I found that other people have had this problem as well; it seems the firmware is the prime target for the scre-up. Thanks, Benoa, for the steps! Although you've probably heard it enough times already.

  • My iPod only connects to my computer as Removable Disk (E:)

    A few days ago I updated my iPod G5 with itunes and everything was working perfectly and as it was finishing, it said something about not being able to update or something like that. Now, everytime I connect my iPod to my laptop, it just shows a "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the taskbar and when I look in "my computer", it shows my iPod as Removable Disk (E:). When I click on the folder, it just freezes up and says, E:/ is not accessible the file or directory is corrupted or unreadable. Can anyone help me out please?? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now have this problem?
    Did the iPod stay connected before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Could be a loose antenna connectin

  • My pc will not show my memory card/removable disk

    Hi.
    My first MP3 player, I chose Creative Zen 4 gig, I have added an 8 gig sd card the problem I have discovered is that my PC does not list the card as a removable disc as stated in the manual therefore I cannot add files to it.
    Some advice pleas.
    regards
    Brian

    Hello NewUser2,
    Welcome to Creative forums!
    You still need to put the device in Removable disk mode. Here's how to do it:
    In the main menu, select Memory Card.
    Select Removable Disk.
    Connect your player to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Your memory card appears as a removable disk under My Computer in Windows Explorer.
    Use the drag-and-drop method in Windows Explorer to copy files to and from your memory card.
    When you have finished copying files, safely disconnect your player using the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Taskbar.
    Warning!
    DO NOT disconnect your player, or attempt to remove the memory card, when files are being transferred. Disconnect the player only when file transfer is complete.
    Notes
    When you select Removable Disk, you view the contents of your memory card only, not the contents of your player. Playback stops when you select Removable Disk.

  • My iPod isn't showing up in my iTunes?

    My iPod has been discharged for a while because it wouldn't show up in my iTunes library.It said to keep it on the charger for about 30 minutes. After an hour I came to check on it and it still was not recognizing it. I went on Youtube and seen it has happened to other people.It's an iPod Photo and I'm trying to fix it for a friend.Do any of you know anything about that?

    Sorry I can't help but the same thing is happening to me. I have a 60GB ipod photo which has sat basically unused for years because I can't seem to get it recognized. Today I tried the procedure to switch it to disk mode which was successful. I could access the data on it using my iMac.
    But when I try to use it in iPod mode it seems to be permenantly stuck on "do not disconnect" and isn't recognized by itunes. It seems to appear in system profiler though.

  • My iPod isn't showing up in iTunes

    I have a Second Generation iPod touch ( I know its old but a broke college student can't be picky) and it doesn't show up in iTunes anymore.  I just bought some new music and now I can't import it to my iPod.  Is my iPod no longer supported in iTunes because of its age or am I doing something wrong?

    Hi ..
    The second generation iPod touch cannot be updated beyond 4.2.1.
    Instead of importing from iTunes, you can re download purchase for free right on the iPod >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • TS1538 My iPod isn't showing in itunes i have tried all the suggestions yet nothing is working

    The Windows 8 which I have recognizes that my iPod is connected however iTunes does not. I have tried all the things others have suggested as help guides but they are not  working or simply too complex to do myself. All I want to do is put more music on my iPod but it seems like too big of an ask.

    See

    - 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 Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • TS1425 just downloaded the latest i tunes and my ipod isn't showing when connected also no side br

    I have just down loaded the latest Itunes update but when i plug in my Ipod Classic it doesn't appear. There doesn't seem to be a side bar either. How do I transfer stuff onto my Ipod now?

    I don't have an iPod just an iPhone as soound as I installed iTunes 11 I had icon on the menu bar across the top of the screen on the right labeled iPhone. When I click that icon the iPhone windows opened up so I could work with my iPhone. I would suggest you look at the top bar of the iTunes window for and iPod icon.
    In the clean up of the GUI for iTunes the side bar was removed.
