IPod no longer shows as device

My first visit to iTunes interface in about a year. (Tired of the songs living in my iPod; time to remove them and replace with a different batch from my purchased music). The iPod is plugged into my Mac, but it does not show as a device in the left-hand column. The last time I used the interface, it showed as a device. I simply dragged songs into it, or deleted songs from it. Is there a tutorial showing the new method? Thank you. iTunes 11.0.2(26). Mountain Lion.

Do you have the Sidebar showing? (View > Show Sidebar)
It's off by default in iTunes 11. Connected devices are instead listed under the Devices button in the upper right.

While updating ipod touch we now have a blank screen. I have updated itunes but am unable to sync because the ipod does not show under devices. I have tried shuttng down and restarting but only have a blank screen or ap0ple logo. Sometimes the screen shows connect to itunes but that has been it.

When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting?

When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

Brand new iPhone shows in Devices; iPod touch no longer shows in Devices

I bought an iPod 4 today and was able to sync it with my existing iTunes library. I connected to USB port, it showed in Devices & in My Computer (XP), no problem.
However, my iPod Touch, 8 months old, will NOT show up in iTunes or My Computer now, and I have NO idea why. I did ALL the troubleshooting, including uninstall/reinstall iTunes, restart computer, etc. If the USB works for iPhone, I assume THAT is not the issue. After 5+ hours working on this, I am over it and wish someone could help. Apple sent me to all the troubleshooting articles and now they are closed.
???????

Start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The drivers in windows that sees the iPod as a camera is different that the drivers that see the iPod in iTunes.

My ipod no longer shows in my itunes help, my ipod no longer shows in my itunes help

my ipod is no longer showing up in my itunes, it use to i have tired everything, it will only charge can you tell me what could be wrong and how to fix it please

There may be various issues associated with updating to iTunes 10.4.1 but I was able to fix my problem with iTunes not seeing my devices. iTunes would start fine but connecting my iPhone or iPad would result in the beach ball hang. I noticed the same thing would happen if I tried to click on the MobileMe icon on the status bar so it pointed to a sync services problem. Looking in "~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices" I saw some "ErrorInfo.txt" files with "SyncDataDirectoryCorruptedException, reason = The Admin Database does not exist. It should have been created by upgradedb."
I had already reinstalled Lion to get iTunes10.4 back which didn't help so that step may not be necessary but I restored "~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local" from my Time Machine backup from the day before the 10.4.1 update and that fixed my problem.
I've re-updated to 10.4.1 and everything still works.

External Hard Drive no longer showing in Devices

My external hard drive no longer shows up as a device on my MBP. It has worked fine since the day I plugged it in.
The Time Machine is using the HD, and continues to do it's backups, so power and USB connection is not an issue
The HD shows up in Disk Utility (The Time Machine portion AND the partition that I've been using for storage)
I ran a repair on the partition in Disk Utility and it checks out OK
I can access this partition from VMware Fusion, so the windows side of the MBP sees it, and it's operational
Used the HD all day yesterday without issue
I've restarted the MBP to see if it would find the HD partition after a restart, it doesn't
I've unplugged (USB) and powered-off the HD, and when I power-on, it still isn't seen.
Any ideas?
John

If TM is turned on and it still doesn't show up then do a SMC reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

T500 Laptop Model 2242-CT0 - Integrated Camera No Longer Shows in Devices

Laptop is about 14 months old. Integrated camera was working fine. I was using Skype the other day & it could not find the camera. I went into Devices & uninstalled the driver. Then the camera disappeared from Devices altogether.
I downloaded/installed the latest driver for the camera: version 1.32.500.0 (7tca23ww.exe), rebooted, but the device list still does not show in devices (yes-"Show Hidden" is selected).
Running Win 7 64 bit.
Latest updates for windows are installed. I periodically get an error message popping up that "Device driver failed install", but that's it.
Attempts to run hdwwiz to install the camera were not successful, as I do not see any "Camera" listed under the Ricoh drivers section.

Hi HLemieux,
I researched your issue and this is what I found from the Lenovo Assisted Search:
"If your webcam on your laptop is not working, try these following steps:
1. Be sure your webcam driver is installed. (It can be found at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers.html)
2. By checking the webcam if it is disabled by Fn+Esc.
If you see the cross line on the webcam sign press to Fn+Esc to enable the webcam.
3. If you do not see the webcam sign on the right corner of display after pressing Fn+Esc, be sure your Energy Management is installed. (It can be found at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers.html)
After you download the Energy Management driver from Lenovo Website, install the software.
During energy management installation if you see the window as below “Utility” must be selected for Fn hot-key application (Utility is a software package under EM)
4. After installation of Energy Management please perform step 2 to enable Webcam if it is disabled."
Try this and let us know how it works for you.
Have a GREAT day!

ATV no longer shows in devices list

Is there a standard checklist to go through where everything must be right before ATV will show in devices. To try and fix i have done factory restore on ATV, re-installed i tunes on PC, reset router. Still no luck. I am running a VPN router also. Every thing was fine until a couple of weeks ago but don't know what changed. i tunes is also set to look for ATV.

Same thing happened to me several months ago. iTunes seems to suddenly drop ATV for the Devices list. Doesn't happen when I'm watching streamed video, just when the iTunes mac has nothing to do. It is not set to sleep. If you search this forum, you'll find countless posts describing this problem, with some that offer solutions. Trouble is, a solution for one person is a failed attempt for another. I'm still trying to figure this out.
There are so many variables involved; wired or wireless connections, how many routers used, where is the iTunes library and files (on the server or attached directly or mounted), on and on.
For me the usual fix is to close iTunes and invoke it again. That finds ATV and adds it to the Devices list. On rare occasion I have to unplug/replug ATV.
Good luck.

New iTunes update, iPod no longer shows up in iTunes

Got a update request from iTunes today and accepted the upgrade for iTunes and QuickTime. I ignored the warning from Microsoft that this was not approved for XP (stupid, but I doubted that Apple would trash my connection). After the install, I no longer have my iPod show up in my iTunes. I have done a System Restore, deleted iTunes and reinstalled, deleted iTunes and manually removed all left over folders and then reinstalled; followed all of the troubleshooting items at http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/ and lots of other things over the past 6 hours. I am really tired now. Does anyone have any help. Note that the iPod charges through the ISB port, the wi-fi worksm the apps and music and library items show up in iTunes. The only thing that is missing is the iPod showing up in iTunes so that I cannot sync. Also when I open iTunes I get this message:
Warning!
iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs,
you need to reinstall iTunes.
I need to sync. Help.

Good news now. After two more uninstall/reinstalls I now get my iPod showing up in iTunes. I still get the:
Warning!
iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs,
you need to reinstall iTunes.
box every time I open iTunes, but this is an annoyance, not a disaster. Still any help in stopping this pop-up would be appreciated. Also I have sucessfully imported a CD to iTunes, so I am not sure what the warning is about. (I do not have a downloaded song to try to burn to a CD however).

Songs on iPod no longer show up in iTunes

I have the latest iPod Touch with 100 songs on it. Suddenly, (because this hasn't been a problem before), only three songs show up on iTunes in the computer (MacBook Pro). Why can't I see all 100 songs on iTunes like before? They are on the iPod. I have updated everything. I need to manage them and they don't show up to manage! Thanks

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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My ipod no longer shows up properly?

My ipod used to appear as Luke's Ipod, now not only does it not show up at all in itunes, it appears only as Apple Ipod anywhere else. I've reset my ipod and itunes, re-installed itunes, restarted the mobile device serivce, emptied the Temp folder, tried different cables and tried a different computer. I haven't found anything that helped so far. Any ways to fix this?

Backup the iPod then restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
