IPod Mini doesn't show up in ITunes and won't upload songs.

My iPod Mini shows up on my computer, but it doesn't ever show up in ITunes. I am using a computer that already had ITunes installed and was used by my sisters iPod. Does this matter? The manual says ITunes should open automatically and then transfer songs; ITunes doesn't open auto. and won't transfer songs to my iPod. Help!!!

  • My Ipod nano doesn't show up in itunes and in finder just like an extern unit. What has happened??

    Just like above. The history is
    An old ipod (4, 5th generation)
    A few months ago my friend tried to sync it to her windows computer and had to erase all music (it's been compatible to mac always before) but then she could't put in any new music either.
    Then it's just been laying around uncharged.
    Now I try to sync it to my new macbook pro (itunes 1.11) but it doesnt show up in itunes. When i plug it in itunes show up over all the other programs but i cant find the ipod in it. In finder it's just a device with "NO NAME"
    i don't know how to fix this, please help me!

    Hello Solverlona,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iPod Nano is not recognized correctly in iTunes, but is recognized in Finder but seems to be seen as a storage device.
    First, I would start with the iPod 5rs for your model iPod Nano
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    I would next try the steps outlined in this Troubleshooting Assistant if the above steps do not fix the issue:

  • Hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone. how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?

    hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
    how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
    the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
    like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
    before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
    first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
    Many thanks

  • IPod touch doesn't show up on iTunes

    ey everyone I'm having some trouble I'm currently running windows vista and when I plug my touch into my computer it doesn't show up on iTunes? Anyone got any idea how I can fix this? I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but it didn't work , any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ok people after messing up three days with my jailbroken ipod touch cauze my itunes didn't recognize it i figured out that the problem is first windows recognized it as a imaging device o as a camera, i found in the device manager was listed mi apple ipod under portable devices and there was the problem it has to be listed under universal serial bus controllers named as a apple ipod so this is what i did but first make sure u have correctly installed itunes and the apple mobile device support:
    1 open the device manager or windows button + r is run and then type devmgmt.msc
    2 look for the portable devices and find the apple ipod or wherever that is listed on your pc.
    3 once u find the apple ipod do a right click on it and click on uptade driver software
    4 take the manualy opcion or browse on my computer and then look for this folder on your computer C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    there should be the driver that itunes recognize and your windows wont recognize your ipod as a camera again but i repeat u have to make sure u have installed the apple mobile device support u can get it by extracting the itunes+quicktime package using winrar. so click on update or next what ever on the update process and next time itunes will open your ipod for sincying thanks to forums ilounge.com
    u dont need to switch usb ports is anyone has questions about ipod touch in general or itunes please email me at [email protected] or [email protected]
    there is a comunity for free sftware wich i'm on it and is for helping people i had the same problems and with itunes and the rolling back installation of the apple mobile device support so i hope u solve your problems

  • IPod Mini doesn't show in windows (vista) as well as iTunes

    When i connected my mini to laptop with latest iTune, it suggested to download later firmware and it went thru fine. after i restart my laptop, neither laptop nor iTuens detect my iPod. Device manager shows "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". Tried all possible solutions without any luck.
    1. disabled enhanced USB host controllers... no use
    2. tried to delete "upperfilter" and "lowerfilters" as suggested in other post... those entries are not there at all.
    3. tried with older versions of iTunes... no use.
    4. Tried on other desktop and laptop, same issue.
    can someone suggest a fix please. Thanks a lot in advance.
    Cheers,

  • IPod classic doesn't show up in iTunes.

    Dear All:  Having problems with my iPod.  I tried all of the iTunes diagnostics recommended.  Have executed soft resets..but not a complete restore. Any ideas or other steps to follow?

    Have you tried Resetting your iPod while it's connected to the Mac? That usually works for me when it fails to show up first time. Toggle the hold switch off and on a few times then hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear.

  • My ipod touch doesn't show up in iTunes.

    uninstalled, reinstalled - didn't fix.  Any ideas?

    Have you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    The old iPod are still compatible with the recent OSXs and iTunes versions.

  • IPod Touch wasn't showing up in iTunes (Windows), won't let me restore it.

    Ok, so I got a new computer recently, as my old one was decimated by a virus. Yesterday, I tried to connect my ipod touch to the new computer for the first time, but it wasn't showing ip in itunes. I've tried everything in the troubleshooting guide, but nothing there has worked.
    I have not, however, tried using a different computer, as the only other one nearby is my old one, and I am hesitant to connect my ipod to it as that computer still has the virus on it.
    So today I decided to try restoring my ipod in the hopes that that would do something, but every time it gives me the 1611 error and tells me that my security software is interfering with the process. So I go about updating both the security software (avast and malwarebytes) and my computer, but I still get the same error. When I tried uninstalling the software, it did the same thing.
    I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I'm hoping that I just overlooked a step or something like that. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great.

    DId you also disable the computer's firewall?
    Have you did this:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    See if running this tells you anything.

  • Ipod Classic does not show up in iTunes and will not sync

    My ipod classic does not show up as a device in iTunes. It was working just a week or so ago, but each time I plug it in the screen says connected, then switches to Ejected, you can now disconnect, then says OK to disconnect and then goes to the home screen. Can someone advise me on what is going on and what I need to do to fix it! Thanks!!!

  • Ipod shuffle dose not show up in itunes and slow down my computer

    hi i can see my ipod shuffle in my computer as removeable hard drive not my ipod name anymore and also i can't see my ipod in itunes at all and every time i connect my ipod shuffle it slow down my computer (very slow) and use my CPU 100% all the time my other usb hard drive(not ipod) works fine its only my ipod i also try to use all my usb port but its still the same thing.
    and it can't be my windows because i have just reinstall windows 3 days ago
    can someone help me fix this

    I think I can add a bit to this problem.
    My iPod stopped working during the first use after running the iPod Updater 2005-11-17. When a button is pressed both green & amber lights up.
    When plugged into my computer, iTunes (vs 6.0.1.3) does not recognize it is there. Naturally, I tried to run the updater again (2005-11-17 version) and the program hangs. It does not use up the cpu though (~3%). Eventually, after ~5-10 min the updater recognizes there is an iPod and then the restore button can be pressed. However, soon after the updater gives the error "Firmware update failure. Disk write error"
    I reinstalled iTunes and the iPod updater as well as tried to use the new updater (2006-01-10) and same error. I am in the process of checking the drivers now. But I still don't know what is causing this error...

  • IPod Touch doesn't show up in iTunes

    So I've been reading the support site and this forum for 2 days and I know this is a common problem, but I've tried everything.
    Environment:
    PC w/ Visa SP1 (Intel 975XBX Motherboard)
    32GB iPod Touch (new with 1.1.4 software)
    After many itunes reinstalls using all the hints about complete removal and iPod resets I always end up in the same place:
    iPod shows up under MyComputer
    Driver gets installed by Vista and reported as good.
    Under device manager iPod shows up under external devices.
    Under device manager there is NO entry for Apple Mobile Device under the USB port section.
    After a call to Apple tech support, they said it is a PC problem with the USB mass storage driver. I got new versions of BIOS and driver inf files from the Intel website for my motherboard but still get the same results.
    Any hints ? Apple has pointed the finger at the PC and is no longer any help.

    I have the same problem as well, my new laptop doesn't recognize my ipod touch either(16gb) though i plugged my brother's ipod shuffle on an my laptop picked it up. The only difference between my old comp (that picked up my itouch) and my laptop is that the laptop has vista and my pc has xp. The only thing i could think of doing would be redownloading the driver for my itouch to my laptop but i couln't find anything to that nature.
