or
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
- Then do the other actions of:

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.

Ipod not being recognised by itunes..but by pc

Gosh..it seems like a lot of us have problems!!
I had everything working fine. Tonight I imported some cds - then I plugged in my mini...ping...(ie connected)..but it's not showing up in itunes. It does show up as an 'e'drive in my computer. I've reinstalled itunes 5.01 (I had gone back to the version that came with the disk!).
Anyone got any suggestions...I'm going on hols tomorrow!!

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.

Why does it tell me to go to support and I cant find my ipod on my computer or itunes?

Dude I totally have that same problem with mine. I've done all the trouble shooting I possibly can. It's so aggrivating because I can't put anything on it or take anything off of it. The charger cord does have kind of a little slit in in but I'm not sure if this is the problem. My suggestions are to contact apple themselves, at least that's what I'm doing.

HT1212 look my friend blocked my ipod so it says "ipod is disabled" "connect to itunes" so plugged my ipod to my computer but itunes wont pop up. what do i do?

Look my friend blocked my Ipod so it says "Ipod disabled" "connect to Itunes" so i pulgged my Ipod to my computer but Itunes wont pop in my coputer when i plug in my Ipod. What do i do?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

Ipod Back to computer with iTunes

I have a lot of music on my Ipod but it all got erased from my computer. I either want to burn the music from my Ipod onto a CD or take the music from my Ipod and put it on my computer. Now i don't think theres a way to drag and drop music off ur ipod so i wanna find an alternative way. If someone could please answer this question it would be helpful or else i won't have this music anymore i need A BACK UP. Also my computer is updated and working fine so theres no problem there.
Thanks NJregulator

For windows only
1) If Itunes is already installed disk use may need to enabled so you can see the Ipod in my computer. Itunes hides your ipod from windows otherwise.
2) Make sure you can view hidden files. In MY computer go to tools>folder options>view>show hidden files and folders.
3) Windows should see the ipod and your music should be on your ipod in several hidden folders. To be safe I would copy it all to say your desktop.
4) Install Itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and the Ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ (if you don't already have it installed)
After that drag the copied folder to Itunes (drag and drop or in Itunes (File>add folder to library)
You may need to authorise your new computer by playing it in the library first.
There are third party software that will let you take the music of for windows and mac.

IPod not being recognised by iTunes or My Computer: How to Fix It

For anyone whose iPod is not being recognized by "iTunes," and does not show up in "My Computer," but does show up in "Device Manager," and in "Safely Remove Hardware."
This is a problem with the program DAEMON Tools, which can only get on your computer if you downloaded it. So if you didn't, then this post will probably not help.
First, uninstall DAEMON Tools. Then, search the computer for the following two drivers:
dtscsi.sys
sptd*.sys
Delete them both. You may need to uninstall, and then reinstall "iTunes." Your iPod should work fine after this.
Dell Inspiron 600m Windows XP

I'm not certain if you mean you can't find where to download it if you want to have it, or you can't find it to get rid of it, so I'll answer both:
If you wish to download it (which I do NOT recommend because of issues with spyware, try a program called Alcohol 120% instead) go to
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php
If you wish to get rid of it, it should be on your list of "Add or Remove Programs," if not, it isn't on your system

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
- The troubleshooting here. You di not say what you alread tried.
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- 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:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Original ipod not showing up in itunes when connected to computer

My original ipod has worked fine until a few months ago. I connected it to my 10.4.7 Mac and it won't recognize that it's hooked to the computer. The ipod screen just says "OK to disconnect". I downloaded the new itunes but that didn't do anything, and I'll try the 5 R's, but any ideas if that doesn't work? It's not full, so I don't know what's wrong with it.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
Still no joy? See these.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.

Try it in disk mode.
