IPOD Mini not showing up on new ITunes

I just got an IPOD Nano and have been syncing it and my old Ipod Mini to ITunes. While the Mini was plugged in, i was prompted to update its software. Once I did this, I was asked to plug it into the wall plug...Now my Mini will not show up on ITunes like it was before...anybody know what is going on??

The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer

The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

Then you're doing something wrong. Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
Did you check the purchase history?

Hello!
My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message
" One or more devices is getting too much power from the USB wire" or sumptin like that.
I've tried this with two wires, so the problem is not there.
I reseted the iPod to factory settings but it didn't help.
Anyone??

My iPod will not show up on my iTunes following the newest update, yet says its up to date on software?

Recently my iTunes has updated to the latest version on my PC (a Windows 7), and although ios7 is recommended, my iPod tells me that it is up to date with the 6.1.6 it is currently running. It does not show ios7 to download at all, merely says it is up to date on its software. When I try and plug the iPod in to my PC with a USB cable to sync new music to it, it doesn't even register as being there at all. No device option is in the drop-down file box nor does it show next to the music, video and etc icons. I tried restoring my iPod to the cloud and that worked just fine, tried restarting both devices and replugging in the USB, but nothing seems to be working. No matter what I've tried from the FAQ, my iPod is not showing up or registering to sync. It worked perfectly fine before iTunes updated and any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The 4G can only go to 6.1.6. It hardware does not support a higher version

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 Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

Ipod will not show up after reinstalling itunes

Hi all,
I just replaced my hard drive and of course I lost my itunes library. After reinstalling itunes onto a new drive (Win XP), and attaching my ipod, my ipod does not show up. Itunes finds new hardware and brings up the library, but that's all. Any ideas?
Thanks!

My ipod is not showing up on my itunes and is on a screen saying connect to itunes because i just reset it.

I had reset all my settings and erased my data on my ipod touch, well then a screen popped up saying to connect to itunes, i did so and my ipod will not show up on itunes, help please and the screen will not go away saying connect to itunes either

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod mini not showing up in iTunes

I've hooked up my iPod mini with two different USB ports and iTunes still won't show my mini and update it. It's driving me nuts. It shows up in My Computer but it is not appearing in iTunes.
edit: Oh and the iPod is charging just fine like it normally does.

I have the same issue. When I first connect my mini, it shows like do not disconnect message like usual, but then it pops back to the main menu after about ten seconds.
It shows up in my computer for as long as the do not disconnect message is displayed, but never in iTunes.
It was working fine about five days ago, and nothing has changed as far as I know.
I have tried restoring it and restarting my computer.

IPod does not show in Finder or iTunes

My 2nd generation Nano won't connect to my Mac. The screen alternates between a screen with a dimmed-out Apple logo, a screen with a message saying to restore using iTunes, and a screen showing a the small charged battery icon and a message saying do not disconnect.
Of course I can't restore it using iTunes, because the computer isn't recognizing the iPod, and not disconnecting seems irrelevant, since it's not connected in the first place. (I've nevertheless left it plugged into the computer for about 3 hours in hopes it might resolve itself, but it doesn't look like it's going to.)
The 3 screens alternate at about 1 second intervals. I've tried resetting the iPod and I've tried connecting with a different computer. When I try to reset with the iPod not connected to a Mac, the screen just goes to black. Then if I try reconnecting the USB, I just get the three alternating screens again. (I have the latest version of iTunes, and the iPod software is up-to-date as well. I'm using Snow Leopard on my iMac and Leopard on my laptop.) I've tried restarting the computer. In fact, I'm out of ideas, so I'd be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions.

Hi CorCakalaka,
Just to let you know, you're not on your own. My 30GB 5th gen iPod is doing the same, but I'm running on Windows XP. Tried everything in the support pages and nothing worked. Tried on my Nano and no problems. Hopefully someone who has had this problem and sorted it will get in touch (fingers crossed)

40GB Orignal IPod suddenly not showing in Windows or iTunes on Toshiba

I recently had to reinstall my Windows XP operating system on my Toshiba laptop and when I tried to sync my 1st or 2nd generation 40GB iPod in the USB port, my computer no longer acknowledges the iPod. The Apple website solution for Toshiba laptop problems does not resolve my problem. I have the most recent iTunes software on my computer and my iPod plays and operates fine. Does anyone have a solution and/or could provide some insight to why this is all of the sudden happening?

okay, let's check to see if it's one of the non-Toshiba-specific suspects in cases like this.
while the ipod is plugged in, check to see if it is showing up in "My Computer".
if it isn't showing up, let's try:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
if it is showing up, let's try:
iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

My IPod is not showing up in my Itunes, I tried my phone as well and it is not coming up either. I have tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling. It worked the other day but it is not working now. Please somebody help me!!! What to do?

Hello,
Can someone please help me!? I am trying to put music on my IPod and it was working the other day. I can not get itunes to recognize my Ipod. I have tried to unistall and reinstall Itunes. I have tried all the steps on the site and can't get it to come up. I tried my IPhone which was also showing up just the other day and it also is not showing in Itunes! Please help me. I need to be able to put music on my IPod for my work.

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

Hi there,
I got the same problem as els1017 from time to time - the computer doesn't recognise the ipod mini after connection, but after a while (about 3-5 min), the notebk computer recongnises the ipod mini & charges it. i worried that my ipod mini is "dead" already everytime the computer can't recongnise it.
Any idea on the normal time for the computer to recongise the ipod after connection? i hv this ipod mini last june (still less than 1 yr), can i make the computer to realise the ipod mini faster?
tks...pmwcheung
Connect your iPod to your computer. Wait for the
iPod to realize it is connected to a computer. Then,
open My Computer, and see if there is an Apple iPod
or Removable Disk listed under "Devices with
Removable Storage."
Let me know what happens!

My ipod is not synching with the new itunes. Why?

I don't know why they say this new itunes is so much easier. I find that's not the case. I never had a problem syncing my music before. Now, it won't sync. When I go to the sync page, it says remove all of my music, videos and movies and sync it. I don't want to do that. What can I do?

transfer the song from the old to the new computer's iTunes.
you can use e.g. home sharing to transfer the song.
