Ipod mini appears as "New Volume" in itunes

After using my new ipod mini in itunes successfully, the ipod suddenly stopped appearing as "Mary's ipod" but instead is now "New Volume" and is not recognizing any songs on the mini. I can seemingly load music into the "New Volume" but this is not connected to my actual ipod as none of the new songs show up in there. I have checked that I have the latest updater and itunes, and when I got to File --> Update ipod, the latter is greyed out. Any ideas?

This is what you do to change "New Volume" back to "Mary's iPod". When "New Volume" is connected to your computer, double click on it. The cursor should appears, you should be able to backspace on your keyboard, erase "New Volume" and type in "Mary's iPod" and then press "Enter".

"i want to know will yamipod copy everything to my itunes from my ipod like playlists and the name of the ipod , settings etc"
Yamipod copies music (including playlist). Your settings are stored on the iPod and will not change. That includes the name you gave it which should show up in iTunes whenever you connect the iPod.
Yamipod does not transfer play-counts, ratings etc.

Old computer crashed, how can I use my ipod mini on my new computer. I no longer have the original itunes software cd.

I have an ipod mini. My computer crashed and no longer have software. Can I still use my mini to go into itunes and buy music? I have a new computer, windows 7. Thanks.

Yes, you should still be able to use your iPod Mini on your new Windows 7 PC. Simply download iTunes from Apple's website and you should be good to go. You don't need the original software that came with it anymore as it's now bundled with the iTunes application.

HT1719 why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear on my devices on itunes?

Why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear under my devices on itunes when i plug it in? i have windows 7. I got the ipod today from a friend with their music. i deleted their music and added my own to the folder it was in. but when i unplugged it i still had their music and none of mine.

You need to restore the Shuffle in iTunes first. Then sync all of your music stored in iTunes over to it. Or is that what you did?

Plugged my iPod mini into a new pc, can't move music

I have plugged in my ancient iPod mini into a new pc that already has iTunes and a library of music that I don't want to lose. I have set this relic to 'manually manage music' and I am unable to move music from my iPod to my iTuens library. Help please.

Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

Thank you for responding.
Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
I will try downloading latest updates.
I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system. iTunes won't let me sync the music from my ipod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download. How do I fix?

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

Do I need to download my music from my ipod touch onto my new computer into itunes before downloading more music from itunes?

Do I need to download my music from my ipod touch onto my new computer through itunes before downloading new music onto my ipod?

No you can purchase it directly from the iPod and then sync it to the computer whenever it is convenient for you

Old iPod mini with a new iMac using a different iTunes library

I just bought a new iMac (never before owned one). I have an iPod mini with a bunch of music on it that I downloaded from a library on an IBM, which I no longer have. How can I transfer all of the music that is currently on my iPod mini to the library in iTunes of my brand new iMac? I can't seem to find any options that allow me to do this. It looks like I can only erase my iPod memory and replace with the Library on my iMac, which is currently empty. Please tell me that I don't have to re-create a new libray on my iMac.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the information. I just got done with the iPod. I was able to use Senuti to dowload all of the contents of my iPod into iTunes and then update my iPod mini's software and reload all of the songs back onto the iPod. It was freakin' awesome!!
You really saved me a huge headache and a boatload of time!!
Thanks again!!!

Ipod mini and the new itunes

I just downloaded the new itunes 7.0 or whatever it is and it totally messed up my ipod mini. I don't know if it was just the settings or what. Before I downloaded this i had all of my setting set so that i would manually move songs onto my ipod and I used it as a hard drive. After i downloaded it almost most of my songs stopped working. There is just an exclamiation point with a circle to the left of the songs and they will not play at all. Is there a setting i need to changed back because this totally *****.

Try posting in the iTunes forums, as this is more of an itunes question.
Just a suggestion, cause you will get more help in there.

Ipod mini recognized by pc and not itunes

So I'm this close to demanding a refunding and never looking at another ipod product ever again, but I'm going to make one last try. This is my second Ipod in having only owned it for 3 months.
My Ipod mini when plugged in is recognized by my computer and says the device is ready to be used. When I open itunes the icon for the ipod sometimes appears. When it does grace me with it's presence and I try to transfer music it doesn't actually do anything. It looks like it's transfering, but nothing new appears on the ipod when it is finished.
Buddy at apple says it might be a driver problem. How do I fix that? Windows is up to date and it's the one providing the drivers for the usb ports. My printer and camera all work just fine off the other ports in the grouping.
Someone must know something. And please no links to apple manuals or other info they have to offer. None of it works and I have tried it all. (ie restoring, restarting, software removeal and re installation, restarting computer, up to date programs....it goes on and on.)
Help!
ipod mini Windows XP

I hear ya angie, I and MANY others (see post started by KorosDragon) have had this problem. My problem is, sometimes I plug it in and everything is fine and dandy (iPod mini recognized by iTunes, I can transfer music fine, etc.), but other times like today, nothing is working. I'm at the point of selling this stupid thing and buying something more Windows-compatible, like an iRiver. So if you're under warranty and can just return yours and get a refund, I highly suggest you do so and find an mp3 player that's more compatible with Windows and a PC. Apple clearly has no clue as to what's going on with this issue (from reading other users' posts about how fruitless visits to the Apple Store have been), and it isn't in their best interest to find out.

I have an Ipod Classic that I am able to connect to connect ot my itunes, but I would like to know any possible way I can get my music onto my old Ipod Mini.
Thanks!!

Hello EQLC,
I understand your iPod mini is not able to sync to iTunes on your computer. Are you working with a Mac or a PC? I'll include some troubleshooting steps for both operating systems below:

Computer crashed, how do I get my Ipod songs onto a new computer with itune

Please help. My computer died and I lost everything on it. I have a new computer and have downloaded a new itunes 7.0

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

My first gen ipod mini does no longer sync with itunes 11.0. It says "cannot write or read". Ist this the end?

My first gen ipod mini (that I use in my car) does no longer sync with itunes 11.0. It basically says "cannot write or read". Is this the "end of life" of that ipod?

You mean you can't get to the Summary pane?
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 mini shows up as corrupted in iTunes but works on another PC

I know this is a long shot, but I'm having some issues with my iPod mini and am hoping someone here has heard of this before. When I tried to sync my mini up with iTunes v7 I got a message saying that my iPod was corrupted and that I should restore it. I did this and it didn't correct the problem. After trying several different fixes that I found on the support page I gave up and purchased a new iPod nano. When I connected the nano I got the same error. Upon further investigation I discovered that my mini and the nano work perfectly fine with iTunes on every other computer that I've tried. I turned to a friend for help and we discovered that my computer isn't recognizing that my mini is formatted - it's showing the system file as RAW instead of FAT32. When I connect it to another PC it shows the correct formatting. I've tried everything that I can think of and still can't figure out the issue. If anyone has had this type of problem and knows how to fix it I would be very grateful for your help!

hmmmmmm. by any chance do you have a digital camera?
i'm thinking it's plausible here that you could be getting a Windows drive letter confusion on the PC, where the PC is thinking that your ipods are a camera (or some other device with onboard memory storage).
that's actually also consistent with relentlessly getting some messages telling you to restore the ipod (even though the ipod is showing up as perfectly fine on the PC).
working on that theory, let's see if these documents are of any help:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
