Ipod mini from ebay. not showing up on usb, no default disc plz help!

hi there,
i recently bought an ipod mini from ebay.com. The ipod is in good running condition and works great with the songs i have on it that i got from my friends computer. The only problem is that i cannot get songs from my computer to my ipod mini because it doesnt show up when i connect it to my usb port. I never installed the disc that comes with original ipod's because mine did not come with one since i got it off ebay. Do i have to have the installation disc that comes with ipod's that you buy from the store installed on my computer to be able to use my ipod mini?? Or is there something i can download from the net for windows that would solve my problem? Pleas help!
-Thanks,
Jimmy

I am amazed, that after reinstalling iTunes 9.2.1 on MacOS 10.4 after removing the kernel extension and the package receipt everything works as expected.
before reinstalling, the iPod touch neither did load, nor showed up in System Profiler.
So – problem solved, back to normal …
many thanks
Michael

It is unclear, what if any issue actually is occurring.

I have a ipod mini from 2005, it will only work on my charger. I did get a new ipod 4touch, how do i get the music to the new one if i don't know the password of the mini. My ex-husband set it up for me, i not aboout to call and ask for the password.

I have a ipod mini from 2005, it will only work on my charger. I did get a new i pod touch 4, how do i get the music from the old mini to the new touch. I have never put any music on it myself, my ex-husband did it all and has the password. I never new it. I'm sure not about to call him and I don't think he'd give it to me anyway. Please help!!!

I don't think the password will matter, because you can't use anything on the iPod or in iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
The simple software "lock" used on iPods should not prevent you from off-loading the song files. Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Then, you can do a Restore on the iPod to give it a fresh start and sync it (and the iPod touch) as desired.
NOTE: For songs purchased by you from the iTunes Store, you can also re-download them to your computer at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library

I am aving trouble importing songs from CDs. I completed the process as instructed - using the "import this CD" button (I have done this many times successfully).
The import process ran OK. When the Import process completed, I looked in my music Library and the songs were not there.
I repeated the process - same result. Nothing in my music library.
What should I do?

When I load the CD, iTunes recognizes it and asks me if I want to Import the CD.
When I click on "Import CD", the song titles are retreived and show up. The iTunes bar at the top of the screen shows "Importing track 1" or "Importing the song by title". Each song is imported, and I can see each song being impotrted via the iTunes bar at the top of the screen. iTunes shows that the CD has been imported, and the system dings when the import is done.
This is exactly the same as every other time I've imported CDs. The only difference is that the songs do not show up in the library.
Thanks

Hello kismet_kracker,
What happens if you place the iPod into Disk Mode with it still connected to your Mac? Does it then show up in Finder as a mounted drive? Here are instructions for putting your iPod into Disk Mode.

Ipod songs ratings are not showing in Itunes (manually managed)

Hello,
Ipod songs ratings are not showing in Itunes, however I can see the ratings in my iPod Touch 4 (that is manually managed). I have an iPod 3 an it works. Why?
I don't want to sync anything, I'm looking the songs that are in the iPod through iTunes and the rating information is missing.
Any ideas?
Thanks & Regards

Hi SU
Hope this helps.
When I connect my iPod touch to iTunes on my PC - under library there is a Music folder and under iPod there is a Music folder. Which music folder isn't showing the track rating?
If the Library Music folder isn't showing ratings then see A) Updating Ratings in Library Music
If the iPod Music folder isn't showing ratings then see B) Seeing Ratings in iPod Music
I have 20000 tracks in iTunes and 5000 tracks on my iPod which I am rating as a listen to them. 1000 have ratings 4000 have none.
A) Updating Ratings in Library Music
This is on a PC. When you manually manage music on your iPod the ratings you assign on your iPod aren't automatically synced to iTunes but it is easy to do it manually and only takes a few minutes.
1) in iTunes on a PC click Music under iPOD, sort your tracks by the Rating column and select 5 star tracks.
2) Click File > New Playlist From Selection and call it 5 STAR. This creates a new playlist on your iPod.
3) Right click the 5 STAR playlist and click Export. I save the playlist export file to my Desktop.
4) Click File > Library > Import Playlist > navigate to the location you exported the playlist to (in my case Desktop), select 5 STAR and import. You may get a warning saying some tracks don't exist, you get this if you change track info in your iTunes library, it'll omit these tracks from the playlist your creating. 5 STAR playlist will appear under iTunes Playlists.
5) Select 5 STAR under iTunes Playlists and you will see your 5 star tracks from your iPod but the Rating will be blank. Select all tracks, right click, select Rating and then *****. All the tracks will now be rated 5 star.
6) Right click iTunes Playlist 5 STAR and select Delete, this won't delete your tracks.
7) Right click iPOD Playlist 5 STAR and select Delete, this won't delete your tracks.
8) You can repeat this process with your 4 star stracks then 3 star, etc.
9) an optional step. Once I've rated my tracks I delete them from my iPod.
I do this process every few weeks when I've got a reasonable batch of tracks to update ratings in iTunes.
B) Seeing Ratings in iPod Music
In iTunes iPod Music my tracks are sorted by rating and I mistakenly thought the rating column is blank. I clicked on the Name column to resort and saw some of the tracks had ratings. I then noticed that when I clicked on iPod music it didn't display tracks from the top of the list (my 5 star tracks) which I expected but half way down (0 star tracks) which is why I thought there was a problem. So now when I look at my iPod music in iTunes I scroll up the list to check they are showing ratings before doing A) above.

Mini speaker does not show any light

My x mini speaker does not show a blue or red light at the side and now won't play and when I try to recharge it to the laptop it shuts the laptop down straight away, it's like it's just died, what to do

Hi,
The cable the came with the speakers to charge, is that a USB cable? If it is, test the ports with anything you can that's USB. Even better would be something that also uses the ports to charge from. Just to make sure the issue is not the port. If you have another port, then you can also try it through that.
It does really look like it's that speaker. Check those few things, if the issue only remains with that speaker. Then yes the speaker's essentially useless to you.
I hope this answers your questions.
Thanks for the reply.

I purchased song on ipod but it does not show up. It took my money. When I go to repurchase it says 'already purchased'. Where the heck is it?

In iTunes select Store > Check for Available Downloads.
If that does not force the content to download, contact iTunes Support.

My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes. I've removed and reinstalled itunes, stopped and started apple mobile services and changed out cables. Ipod is charging when connected. I've also done a complete rollback to factory defaults.

Did you remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Run this to see if it helps determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem'
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hey Apples Users, my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer

hey Apples Users,
my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer
Could anyone in there show me the best solution for the same
thanks in advance

First of all does, the iPod power on okay?
Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB ports, preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC tower (these are directly soldered onto the motherboard and receive much high outputs of power than the ones on the front).
What about a different USB sync cable?
What shows up on the iPod's screen when you connect it? Does it charge at all? Maybe try resetting it with it still connected to your PC. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Contacts from 2010 not showing info in 2013

I recently upgraded from 2010 to 2013. When the contacts moved over i cannot find all of the information like anniversary date that was in the details tab of 2010. Is there an icon or setting that i am missing to see all of this previous information?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, Contacts from 2010 not showing info in 2013, then please follow these steps: -
After switch from Outlook 2010 to 2013, simply press
CTRL+3 to see an overview of all your Contacts folders. If the folder is there and holds your contacts, then either the folder has not been set as an
Outlook Address Book or Outlook Address Book Service is broken in your mail profile.
If the contacts are not in the contact folder, then you either forgot to select the folder when creating an export, or didn’t select the folder when importing the
PST-File. You can take a fresh copy of your backup or the pst-file that you imported from.
Then connect to the pst-file in Outlook via:
File > Open > Open Outlook Data File
Now, check the contacts folder again. If you did not find your Contacts in that pst-file, you can select them all
(CTRL+A) and move them (CTRL+SHIFT+V) or copy them
(CTRL+SHIFT+Y) to your main contact folder.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Updating my iPod mini from a second PC

I want to update my iPod mini from a second PC. When I start to do so I get a message that my iPod is linked to another iTunes music library and am asked: Do you want to change the link and replace all existing songs with those from this (the second) library?
Of course, I don't want to so I'm stuck and unable to update unless I'm willing to lose what's already on my iPod. Is there a workaround? Any advice much appreciated.

Click 'no' to this message, then select iPod options by right clicking on the iPod in the source window and change the transfer method to manual.
This is how you will have to keep it whilst you are using more than one computer to update your iPod.
