IPod nano 3g will not connect to my Mac Pro.

I have already tried different ports, cables, and all software is up to date. I have also restored the iPod several times. I plug it in, the iPod says it is connected, but it never shows up in iTunes or Finder. Then the iPod says it is disconnecting. Any ideas on what to do?

Try manually placing the iPod into Disk Mode using the instructions in this Apple support document. This should help mount your iPod as an external drive on your Mac.

From there, try reformatting the iPod using Disk Utility using the instructions on this page.

My airport extreme is working but will not connect to my mac pro

my airport extreme is working and all other devices connect except my mac pro computer, How do I resolve this problem?

Hi fdrussell,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Were your Airport Extreme and Mac Pro communicating earlier? If so, what changed?
First try shutting down the computer, and recycling the power to the Airport Extreme. Then start the Mac Pro and see if that resolves the issue.
If needed, perform a Hard reset of the Airport Extreme:

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my mac pro

hey, so i have an iphone 4s with the latest update iOS7.1 and a macbok pro which is also up to date with itunes 11.1.5. The entire time ive had this computer and this phone all i had to do was connect the two via USB and my computer recognized my phone as well as itunes and proceeded to sync all my things automattically sometimes it would do it even if the devices werent connected but even if they were close in proximity they would connect, no problem. BUT now it will not do that when i connect it via usb neither one recognized that they are connected my phone will charge but thats about it, every once and a blue moon my phone will recognize the computer and ask if the computer is trusted to which i select "trust" and then it tells me its unable to connect but that barely happens most of the time nothing. Ive tried the typical restarting my computer, restarting itunes, searching for updates but its not just itunes that doesnt recognize my phone its my whole computer it seems, what could have happened to make these two devices unable to connect? how do i fix it?

My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Its not even in the device manager

My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Not to charge or connect to itunes. My usb ports work fine with everything else. I went and bought a new wall charger that came with a synce cord and it works fine, as a wall charger with wont work with my computer. Ive done the whole rebooting, re downloading itunes, redownloading apple software, the whole 9 yards.
What exactly happens when I plug my ipod touch 4g up if it turns on like it suppose to but instead of going to the home screeen with the little lighting bult in the battery is just acts like its not even plugged in. It just goes to connect to itunes screen.
I sent it to apple and they told me that whatever was wrong with it wasnt under warrenty but didnt tell me what it was. Ugh! It doesnt have water damage, I checked the indicators. So what do I do now? I would rather not go and get it fixed and spend 100 dollars. I would rather try and figure it out myself. Help please!

From what Apple said it appears you have a hardware problem. I would either pay to get it fixed or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discus it with them.

IPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi no matter what

My white 8gb iPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi, I have reset the network and the entire iPod. When I got it for Christmas 2011 it worked perfectly for a few months then all of a sudden it stopped connecting, every connection I try to connect it to says the same thing; unable to join network... I am getting fed up, my first gen iPod Touch will connect to the wifi no problem, but the thing is it keeps crashing. I can't use it for more than a couple of minutes and it goes back to the home screen. If anyone could help, it is greatly appreciated!

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My Time Capsule will not connect to my Mac? TC yellow light is blinking.

Just bought aTC and it will not connect to my Mac. The yellow light is blinking on the TC. Can you help?

It is a problem for sure..
Apple assembled this page of gogars to help you.

It is however mostly just links some of them very old.
Reset the TC to factory and start again.. make sure you have ipv6 set to link local only on wireless at least .. as well as ethernet if you use it.
No luck do a fully manual setup..

No, you are not. Apple merely encourages there customers to secure their own data. Only fools choose to not have a passcode lock. I hope for your own laziness that you never keep any personal data on your phone... otherwise you are setting yourself up for major issues when your phone falls into the hands of an unscrupulous person.

New iPod Nano gen7 will not sync

Some backround info;
My iMac 27" harddrive was recently replaced (11/2012) by Apple because they said it was defective (replacement was covered by AppleCare).
I have recently purchased an iPod Nano gen7 and connected it to sync with my iTunes library.
My iMac is running OS X 10.8.2 and my iTunes is running Ver. 10.0.2. The iPod Nano gen7 is running Ver. 1.0.2.
My iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both installed prior to my harddrive repalcement are syncing all of my tunes from my old hard drive and tunes added after the harddrive was replace. My complete iTunes library runs from 2007 to present day and is stored in the iCloud.
Listed on my iTunes account, iTunes in the Cloud under Manage Devices are 1) My iMac, 2) My iPhone, and 3) My iPad, Missing is my iPod Nano.
On my Itunes page listed undet "STORE" is a listing called PURCHASED that only shows tunes purchased since my harddrive was replaced.
My problem is that my just purchased iPod Nano gen7 will only sync tunes installed since my harddrive was replace, non of my tunes from my old harddrive.
How can I get iTunes to sync all of my iTunes library to my iPod Nano gen7.
Any and all help will be appreciated.

I have the Same problem we always have this with tech in our house! I came to find this problem after using a faulty socket box, I hadn't noticed that while my iPod was charging in my Belkin USB Adaptor that the Red Light on the Adaptor was flashing (Power On and Off) consistently because of the power not getting through to my adaptor, so while reading my tech magazine there was a rather loud 'BANG' so as you do you go and have a look so I pushed my charger in to the socket harder and the light did not come up on my iPod or my Adaptor meaning that something was wrong with the adaptor... So I checked my iPod and it would not switch on or do anything for that matter!
Please help me on this one guys, i'm not usually the one struggling with tech!

My IPod will not connect with my computer has been freezing up and I have already tried restoring it. Does anyone know of anything else that can done?

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect the iPod to your computer. If it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
- If it did not show, see if placing the iPod in recovry mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.

TS1363 iPod Classic 160gb will not connect to Macbook.

My iPod classic will not connect to my macbook. It is recognized by my wall charger, speakers, and FM transmitter in my car. I've had this trouble for some time, but before I attributed to my previous Macbook which had a few other problems. However I just got a new macbook, and it is still not coming up in Finder nor iTunes. Any advice is much appreciated!

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your Mac? Have you tried another USB cable just in case?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the Mac?
