  • Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it

    Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it but it dosent show up under devices so i cant sync any music!!the screen on the ipod would usually say "connecting"or"do not disconnect"but it dosent say that anymore!!Ive been trying to fix it for DAYS but i cant find a good enough solution.PLZ HELP!!(p.s. i have a 4th generation nano)

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help - iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer

    Would someone PLEASE tell me how to get my iPod to show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer?
    According to our PC XP computers, we do not have an ipod and it won't charge when plugged into USB. It worked fine for 10 months until this morning (10/26/06). We have ruled out bad USB drive by using flash drive on that USB and it worked fine. Reseting ipod does not work (ipod does not respond to reset command hold toggle then hold menu + play for up to 10 sec). Reseting ipod within ipod menu does nothing. ANY suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem with my brand new 2 GB. I have reloaded software, gone through the "5 R's", tried the ipod on my PC and on my laptop -- neither computer recognizes or charges the ipod. Any info greatly appreciated.

  • Iphone not being recognised by itunes, but being recognised as camera.

    I've updated everything, restarted my computer, restarted in services... it's being recognised as a camera folder, but not coming up in itunes. I need to download some apps using my computer, as my iphone has changed it's app store to China, but itunes has kept it as England, which means I cannot download apps without itunes.

    I have the same issues. itunes 5.0.1.4 doesn't recognize my mini. ipod updater doesn't recognize my mini either. i have uninstalled itunes 5 and reinstalled 4.9, but it didn't work still. something in itunes 5 changed something in my system that reinstalling 4.9 doesn't fix it. updater just shows that i have no ipod connected. if i try to get updater to check for my ipod during the updater installatin, it just sits there and says "waiting for ipod". it's not my usb port because i can read and write to my ipod. i did the entire list of chores that apple suggests on the site including disabling all other functions and services, reinstalling the com port, uninstalling everything, reinstalling everything, getting windows install clean up, e v e r y t h i n g! nothing worked.
    I then installed itunes 4.9 and updater 1.4 in my other laptop. i was able to update to firmware 1.4 using that computer. when i put the ipod into that computer w/ itunes 4.9, everything works fine. of course, it asks me if i want to link that laptop w/ my ipod. i said no, because i want to use my original laptop w/ the ipod.
    anybody have a solution for this? it's like we all have the same symptoms and going to the same doctor and we end up having to diagnose ourselves. this is extremely annyoying and inefficient.

  • My iPod shuffle is not found in iTunes but is found on Windows

    Ok here is my problem. When I purchased my iPod I loaded the iTunes program onto my computer from the disk that was included. For awhile I was able to import songs and add them to my iPod. After a few weeks I tried to add more songs to my iPod but when I connected it to the USB port in the back of my computer the iTunes program said there was not an iPod connected. At that time I did all of the 5 R's and eventually iTunes recognized my iPod and I was able to add my songs back to it. When I tried to add songs a few weeks later it did the same thing. I have tried every USB port that is located on my computer and it still does not show in iTunes. I have done ALL of the 5 R's. I have deleted the iTunes program and everything associated with it and reloaded it again (I have done this 3-4 times). My iPod is showing up in Windows but it is not showing up in iTunes. I have looked at all the manuals online and done everything they have told me to do and I still can't get this thing to work. So now I have an iPod with no music on it and can't get the program to acknowledge my iPod. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Question -
    When you say your iPod is recognized by MyComputer, is it showing as an Apple iPod or a Removable Disk?
    You might want to try restoring the iPod once more, and if it doesn't correct the issue or if you're unable to restore, you can go ahead and format the iPod through Windows. Doing so will erase everything on the iPod, however, it normally allows iTunes to recognize it right away.
    To reformat the iPod through Windows:
    -Connect the iPod and wait for it to be recognized in My Computer.
    -Right Click on the iPod's icon in My Computer, whether it is an Apple iPod or a Removable Disk.
    -Click on Format
    -Click on QuickFormat
    -Click on Start
    When it is complete, iTunes should open more or less automatically with the iPod Setup Assistant, where you can rename it and sync files to it.
    **Note: Sometimes, when going through this, your computer will become extremely sluggish. It is important to be patient, and not click on the buttons more than once.
    Good luck!
    Feel free to reply with more questions, or if you're having more problems.

  • Windows Service Manager 32-Bit Has Stopped Responding/iPod not showing up in iTunes

    Hello,
    I've scoured this forum for answers but I cannot find any result that works. I have an iPod classic that I've connected to my Gateway running Windows Vista for over four years without issue. When I was using iTunes 9 the other day, I plugged my iPod into my computer, but it only connected to My Computer and didn't connect to iTunes and update my iPod accordingly. So, the iPod is charging and the iPod is showing the "Connected, Eject before disconnecting" screen, but it isn't adding new music (which kind of defeats the purpose of buying new music). I thought it was because I was using 9, so I downloaded iTunes 10, but the issue still popped up.
    This hasn't pop up today after I installed 10, but back when I was using iTunes 9 the following error came up on my computer: "Windows Service Manager 32-bit Has Stopped Working." Now, no error messages pop up, even though the problem persists.
    I've tried suggestions in this post as well as in this post. Also, with the fix being recommended in those threads to change the code in Notepad by clicking "edit" under the System tab under My Computer? There's one problem - there is no edit button on my options. I've included a screen grab to prove this.
    I don't know if the relative age of the discussions makes any difference - maybe a new fix has com up and i'm just not finding it? Plus, since this issue began with iTunes 9, I can't help but feel like getting rid of iTunes 10 is going to help the issue, either.
    This is incredibly frustrating, not being able to add new music to my iPod, so if anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it, as previously recommended ones aren't useful.

    Screen grab of the lack of an "Edit" button in the place to edit codes as recommended in previous topics:

  • Ipod not recognized after installing itunes 7.3

    I've upgraded to itunes 7.3 on my Windows Vista desktop and now none of my IPODs are recognized and I'm getting the following message:
    "your IPOD needs to be reformatted for use with Windows"
    I've double checked and my IPOD shows that it is formatted for windows. And, when I go to try to restore my IPOD, I get an error message saying that it cannot be restored.
    I do NOT have this problem on my Windows laptop - everything works fine with iTunes 7.3 on my laptop.
    Is this a problem with Windows Vista and iTunes 7.3??
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    macfixit.com has instructions on how to go to oldapps.com and revert to iTunes 7.2 :
    iTunes 7.3 (#3): Downgrading to iTunes 7.2; Deleting and restoring the library for -50 errors; more
    Downgrading to iTunes 7.2 For many serious issues with iTunes 7.3, the only viable fix is reversion to iTunes 7.2. Unfortunately, Apple does not maintain old versions of iTunes. As such, if you did not keep a copy of the iTunes 7.2 installer (as described here), your options are limited. Fortunately, OldApps has a mirrored copy of iTunes 7.2 available for download.
    In order to downgrade to iTunes 7.2, follow these steps:
    1. Delete the following files:
    The iTunes 7.3 application (located in /Applications)
    com.apple.iTunes.plist (from ~/Library/Preferences)
    iTunes.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    iTunesX.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    2. Download and install iTunes 7.2

  • IPod not showing up in iTunes (but it worked before)

    Hey... this is my second day of having my iPod and all was working fine. I had loaded songs into iTunes and was able to transfer them onto the iPod..
    The problem I am having now though is that I always leave my computer on at night, but I turn off my monitor. I went to sleep last night and when I turned on my monitor this morning, my computer had shown that it had been reset (it was prompting me to log in) so I did so, and now my iPod wont show up in iTunes anymore... but it does show up in windows explorer.
    Any fix to this? I've restarted my computer several times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and also stopped the iPod process in the device manager thingy and restarted it, but to no avail.

    I've posted several questions over this and no one has helped me either, i've done all the delete, uninstall, reinstall, computer management things too, and nothing has worked for me either, I am quite disappointed at how I am not getting any help. Hope you find someone who can help you!

  • Ipod not showing up in Itunes on Mac computer

    When I plug in my ipod touch to my computer it does not show up in Itunes. do I need to reset my ipod touch?
    Help!!! I have done all the things to troubleshoot this situation other than reset my ipod. I am afraid to do this. I don't want to loose anyting.

    I would try:
    - Rebooting your computer
    - Resetting the iPod.  Nothing would be lost.
    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.
    - Trying another USB port and cable

    - Last would be to place it in recovery mode and then restore it.  However, you will loose everthing on the iPod.  Restoring from backy and syncing will then restore you iPod to what it was before the last backup.  For recovery mode see:

  • Ipod not showing up in itunes or ipod updater

    my ipod worked fine...then i realized i had to install the ipod updater so i did that...then by accident i unplugged my ipod video while it said do not disconnect, now my ipod doesn't show up in itunes, but does in my computer...also my wireless usb adapter is my interenet connection and has stopped working...in my network connections, hi speed and wireless options do not even show up anymore...what could be the problem? also nothing is showing up in my device manager...what is wrong? plus when i open the ipod updater which is where i would do the restore...neither of the buttons are clickable...i think something is wrong witht he ipod updater software

    There are some bad sectors on the hard drive of the iPod, see if you can do a Restore on a window base PC, if so, reconnect it back with your Mac and hopefully it will get recognized for you to do the following :-
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes and click “Restore”
