Ipod not on itunes.....help me

ok well i cant sync my music anymore at all nd on my main itunes screen it doesnt even have my ipod anymore i think ive tries everything to fix it someone please help me

Launch iTunes, connect the iPod, and wait for it to freeze up.
When it does, hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open your Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab.
Find iPodService, click on it, and click on End Process.
Click Yes in the confirmation dialog.
Close the Task Manager.
Wait about a minute or so and see if iTunes unfreezes and recognizes your iPod. If it does, click "Restore" on your Summary page to resolve any software issues with the iPod.
If the above does not allow iTunes to unfreeze you may be experiencing a software conflict on your system. Try the steps in this article, restart the PC, and then try iTunes/iPod again.

  • I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

    I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

    Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.  Please uninstall iTunes,  then install iTunes again.  Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    Many thanks. That issue will be causing the iTuneshelper error message too.
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Music on Ipod, Not In Itunes Library!

    Hi, PLEASE can somebody help me, I am going crazy with this. I recently got a new Vista machine and had to throw my old machine out, I was silly and didn't back up my itunes. So what I am wanting to do is get all the music off my ipod into my itunes LIBRARY, I can see my music on itunes when i plug my ipod in, but can't get it to sync to my itunes library. Any ideas/suggestions would be soooooooooo greatfully recieved. Thank you soo much.
        Windows Vista

    To get the music from the ipod back to the computer it would require a 3rd party program and would suggest you did a search through goggle for ( iLounge) This will have your answer/resolution.
    (Note: This is not apple software and can not be supported by apple)
    To avoid this in the future.

  • IPod not opening iTunes

    When I connect my iPod to my computer it opens up a folder for the iPod(like a removable disk) and not iTunes. How do I correct this?

    With the iPod connected launch iTunes manually
    In iTunes left column select your iPod
    Tick "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected"

  • Songs on ipod not in itunes

    The music that is on the ipod is the same on the computer. The only thing is the I can play all of the music on the ipod without any problems, but I can play less then half the music on the computer. Itunes keeps asking to locate the music because the original cannot be found. When I plug the ipod into the computer it updates only what the computer can play. It doesn't touch any of the rest of the songs. The computer shows the name of the song that can't be played that way it doesn't get deleted from the ipod. I hope I made sense with all that. The question is if itunes can't find the original songs to play and the ipod has the originals that do play is it possible to fix the problem by copying the music from the ipod back to itunes? If so would you please tell me how to fix this problem?

    If you're certain that those songs are no longer on your computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.

  • IPod NOT playing iTunes downloads - HELP!

    I thought it was an audiobook I downloaded, but I re-downloaded it tonight and it still didn't work. So I downloaded a song and just like the book, it went swiftly into iTunes and played fine.
    When I sync the iPod, the music comes over, but will NOT play. It tries for a few seconds, then moves back to the main menu.
    Surfed help and discussions and haven't found this problem.
    I have soft/hard reset, deauthorized/authorized, etc...but to no avail.
    Any Thoughts???

  • Ipod not recognized, please help!

    I am the recent owner of a 4th generation ipod nano, I also have a 2nd generation Ipod nano which works fine but when I plug in the new Ipod it says USB device not recognized and has malfuctioned. It is also not recognized by Itunes but my other Ipod works fine. I do not have the receipt for the Ipod so I cannot just go in and replace it unfortunately and I don;t think it is the cord because my other Ipod seems to work fine. I have tried updating my itunes and even uninstalled and reinstalled it but the same message pops up. The Ipod is dead and won't charge when connected to the Ipod but the screen turns on and it registers that it is connected. I have read a bunch of responses saying go in to the disk drivers and try and unistall and reinstall it but the Ipod just registers as unknown device and is only there for a few seconds because thats as long as the Ipod is recognized by the computer. Please help before I go crazy!

    Try restoring the iPod, you'll find instructions here:

    The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\TempFile is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
    AND

  • Old iPod shuffle library to new PC?  iPod not in iTunes

    Dear Forum members. My old PC died. The new PC sees the iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation on startup and it is in the "Computer" window. When iTunes starts up I get the error message "The iPod 'ts's iPod' is synched with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and synch with this iTunes library?" I want to keep the music on the shuffle if possible, but when I cick "Cancel" the iPod does not show up in iTunes and it's dropped from the "Computer" window. I can't follow Apple's instructions for transfering the music from the old computer to the new computer using the iPod as a disk since the old computer is fried. How can I get my new PC to see the library in my shuffle? Can I rescue the music on the shuffle and transfer it to my PC? I can't find an e-mail or phone number for customer support for Apple. Does such a thing exist?? Thanks for any and all input. Tom

    I am in the same exact situation! PLEASE someone help!
