Ipod needs a restore and will show up on itunes but will not show up on my computer

is there any way i can still retrieve my songs before i have to do a restore?

Try:
- 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.
- Reboot the computer
- Try another USB port and cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try on another computer (do not sync) to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem

My ipod shows up in itunes, but does not show up on my pc as a drive

my ipod show up in itunes - but does not show up on my pc as a drive
cannot figure out why it now doesn't show up

Maybe
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
Did it show before?
If you connect to another PC does the iPod show up in My Computer?
Have you installed only camera or scanner programs on your computer?

I plug my iPod touch into my new macbook pro and the iPod icon shows up in iTunes, but does not show up anywhere in the finder or on my desktop...?

I need to transfer the music off of my ipod onto my mac but i cannot do that when my macbook will not recognize my ipod touch in the finder.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

After IOS 6 update I have lost my purchased ringtones. They show up in iTunes but do not show up on the phone

I have tried all the suggestions and nothing works. I can see the ringtones in iTunes but I cannot delete them as suggested. I have had to buy these ringtones twice I am not buying them (or any other for that matter) again.

I'm with you. I will NEVER spend another cent buying ringtones. It is such a RIP-OFF!!! It also lessens the experience of having an iphone. I have also lost my entire Music Library after a sync. I had over 800 songs. I read online that it is somewhere out in the hemisphere, but I don't know how to get it back. Now, my new Music Library only has about 77 songs, which I also lost after the ios 6 update. However, I did figure out today how to get those few songs back. I'm becoming less and less happy about being #TeamIphone:(
I want a refund for the ringtones/songs I purchased that I can no longer use or have access to.

TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device. I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy! Thanks for any help you can offer.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.

I have the same problem and it only affects the one song, everything else syncs

I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

Hello, bluebelle95.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

Changed image and description on xml for itunes, but has not shown up.

I changed the image and description for iTunes, but my iTunes site does not show the changes. Any suggestions?

Rob,
I actually have 2 podcasts.
S and S Show:
iTunes url:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=173173299&s=143 441&i=9388805
RSS url:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/SAndSShow
Religion, Politics & Other Stuff
iTunes:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=170839359
RSS:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/ReligionPoliticsAndOtherStuff
The description I added for the S and S Show has worked. But for some reason, the description for my other site will show up and then disappear.
The last time this happened, the description was gone from my xml file. I added it again, it then showed up again and now its gone again. No idea why this is happening.
Thanks again,
Scott

Metric shows real time value but does not show historical data

I am using OEM 12c.I am facing an issue and I don't know where to look for problem.
I had created one customized metric for percentage flash recovery area through metric extension.I deployed to it target databases.
When I check it through Database --> All Metrics it shows me real time value for metric,Collection schedule,upload interval and last upload time.IT is all fine.
When I check metric value history,
For all the columns like Last Known Value,
Collection Time stamp,
Average Value,
High Value,
Low Value
it shows no data.It even does not show anything in Metric Value History graph.
Even the metric test in Metric Extension works fine.
All the client agents are uploading the the data to OEM successfully.
Any help,guide is appreciated.

bit late but there are two options on metric creation "Alerting Only" or "Alerting and Historical Trending" - I assume you need the latter to show history so was this option used?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Ipod Nano 7 won't show in my itunes but will on other computers.

My ipod nano (7th gen) was working fine on my Lenovo (windows 7) laptop for 3 weeks. Then yesterday, itunes told me I needed to restore my ipod which I did.
Since then it will not show in my itunes. The Apple store couldn't figure it out. The device is recognized when plugged into my computer by everything else except itunes. After running itunes diagnostics, the device and software is not recognized and will not sync.
When I plug it into any other computer their itunes automatically recognizes the device. I have re-installed itunes twice as well as trying different USB ports and it makes no difference.The only time the device is recognized in my itunes is after I plug it into another computer, but only then it will tell me I need to restore the factory settings.
I have searched through these forums and tried a few things but no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
TT

Reinstall Winodws.

IPod nano 3rd generation showing up in ITunes but will not synch

I created new playlists in iTunes about 2 months ago and they synched to my Nano with no problems. I created a new playlist yesterday, plugged in the Nano via a USB and I can't get iTunes to synch with Nano. So the current playlists on it do not show up in iTunes and vice versa. I do have the latest version of iTunes installed

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
