Ipod not seen on computer or iTunes, and has no icon while loading...

my iPod Video 30GB has worked fine on my PC since I got it, and everytime I plugged it into my PC, the iPod screen displayed the message "Do not disconnect the USB cable". Just some few days ago, the message was not displayed at all, and the iPod was not seen on iTuned or on My Computer. The iPod still gets recharged, but it does not show up, and does not display the "Do not disconnect USB cable". I have connected the iPod on my a mac and it worked perfectly fine even though my iPod is Windows Formatted. But it just does not work on the pc anymore. please help! I have tried so many things but nothing seems to work!!!!

Follow these instructions. When you restore the iPod from backup as the article says your iPod will also be updated.

Hi Rumond!
First tried putting your iPod into disk mode, following the steps here.
Then, with your iPod in disk mode, connect it to your computer.
Is it recognized in iTunes that way?
If not, then have you seen all of the suggestions in these two Knowledge Base articles on the matter?:
iPod is recognized by Windows but not iTunes
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod

It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro. I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

How do I upload music from my iPod to my new computer's iTunes Library?

To try to explain this simply;
I recently purchased a new computer (Toshiba laptop),
I have already uploaded some CD's to my Library and synced my iPod Touch to my Library,
But when I connect my iPod Classic to my computer's iTunes tells me that my iPod is already synced to another Lirbrary and gives me the options of either to "Transfer Purchases" or " Sync and Erase",
I've tried to "Transfer Purchases" but it seems to upload literally only iTunes store purchases but I want to upload ALL of the music from my iPod to my Library because I have purchased albulms from a (deleted) Rhapsody account and I also have Youtube converted songs (which basically makes up my entire Library),
I also have uploaded files from my old computer with an external hard drive but I have absoulutly no idea how to find them,
So! I need to upload my music from my iPod to my Library without deleting music from my existing Library or my iPod
Please help! And please explain as well as you can, I get confused easily..

The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:

Ipod is seen by computer, but not itunes

My 40 gig ipod suddenly isn't seen by itunes, so I can't update my podcasts, music, etc. It shows up on my desktop though. My older 20 gig shows up and works fine. I just did the latest Itunes update hoping this would fix the problem, but it didn't. Apple are you listening, there are many who are having this same problem!

First, try resetting your iPod using the two button combination.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
If you've already done that or it does not help, connect the iPod to your Mac. Run Disk Utility. The iPod should appear as a hard drive in the sidebar. Select it (the drive not the volume indented below) and go to the Erase tab. Note - Proceeding further will erase your iPod.
Volume format should be +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+. Name does not matter. Click the erase button.
If this completes successfully, quit Disk Utility and run iTunes. iTunes will hopefully go through the initial setup screens. You should tell it NOT to sync and use the Restore button to put it back to original settings. Then you can sync it if you normally do so, or load it manually.
Apple are you listening, there are many who are having this same problem!
This is a user forum, but even if Apple was "listening," a 40GB iPod is a few generation removed from the currently in-production model...

5 th Generation ipod crashed after I downloaded recommended itunes updates on my computer. Any ideas what I can do

My 5th generation ipod was working perfectly. I downloaded recommended itunes updates on my dell pc with xp operating system. A couple of days later, I plugged in the ipod to charge it. When I next attempted to eject it, the screen was black and it will not turn on. Does anyone have any advice or information as to what I can do?

Ipod not seen by windows or itunes

Hello, I'm totally frustrated and have been searching for hours. Please someone help.
- Nano 8 gb
- Windows xp
Neither Windows (my computer) nor Itunes sees my ipod. Ipod is working fine: did the menu/select thing, cable is good.
When I plug the ipod in the usb port I hear a bleep and I get a message bottom right "new hardware found ipod"and the icon is a usb cable. Ipod is not in My computer window. Ipod is not seen by Itunes
Tried Device Manager/I see Ipod with a ? Yellow. If i right click on it and do update driver the ms computer management system crashes and sends error report.
I tried dowloading the USB driver and placing it in the directory, but I got stuck because there is no windows/inf directory. I tried to update the usb driver with the same ms crash.
I'm completely frustrated, please can someone help me.

I was having the same problem the other day. I'm not sure what it was but I think it has something to do with the i tunes and i pod 1.2 update.
What I did was:
1. Uninstall i tunes
2. Restart my computer
3. pluged my ipod in a slow usb line
4. waited until my pc recognized it in there. It took a little while.
5. re installed i tunes from apple.com
6. waited until i tunes recognized my ipod
7. updated my i pod with my library it took a long time because i was in the slow usb plug.
8. re plugged my ipod into a 2.0 usb line
9. i tunes recognized it.
10. I then updated my ipod to the new 1.2 version
11. The problem started happening again
12 I repeated what I did before and now it is working.
It was very frustrating! I hope it works for you.1

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).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
I hope that helps you.
