Ipod not showing in explorer

When I connect my iPod Touch to my computer it shows in iTunes but not in any of the file managers

Try here since that is how you import photos from the iPod to the computer.

Why isn't my Ipod not showing up on itunes

IPod not showing up on computer or in iTunes

My iPod mini (It's the older version of iPod mini in the darker colors) recently stopped showing up on my iMac and iTunes. It charges, but since it doesn't show up, I can't add music or anything.
I already looked at the support page Apple has for this problem and I tried everything and nothing helped me. The only thing I didn't try was resetting my iPod, which I don't think will work because not only does my iPod not show up, but neither does my sister's and my mom's.
My sister has the same model of iPod mini as mine, and my mom has the slightly newer mini (with the brighter colors).
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this problem? I gave up on it for awhile, but now I really need it resolved. Thank you in advance.

It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.

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.

7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore

7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore. Tried all the apple troubleshooting. Help?

I have tried all the 'Rs' that Apple recommend. As said, I can't hook up the iPod to my computer. I have tried to reset the iPod manually (holding the select and menu button) - but this doesn't work.
If there is another (manual) way to restore the iPod, I would love to hear about it.
As said: as for restoring the iPod - I can't get any contact with my iPod with my computer at all.

Updated iTunes and iPod software iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes

Updated software since computer said there were updates. Now I'm having trouble with iPod not showing up under devices. Have gone through all the steps under troubleshooting. Nothing helped. Had this same problem periodically in the past, as well. Itunes also says I have an app I reinstalled today due to it not working properly, and it won't synch with iPod. (earlier today, iPod was showing up and synching properly, but this app wasn't getting downloaded to the iPod. Just shows up in iTunes. HAve tried restarting computer, iTunes and iPod, but no luck.

Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up. I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.

IPod not showing up in Windows explorer / iTunes - not responding to reset

I have updated my new (1 day old!!) iPod nano to the newest firmware (1.1.1.)... and now I can't use the iPod anymore.
It doesn't show up in Windows Explorer. When I try to connect to it via Run, it says: 'E:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'
When trying to open Windows Explorer, it freezes - not showing any harddrives.
When trying to connect to it via CMD (dos)... It reads: 'The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'
I have tried all the soft resets, hard resets etcetera. I have uninstalled the USB driver for iPod, uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled them both, used different USB ports. But still no success.
I can't connect to it via iPod Updater, because Windows won't connect to it.
The iPod itself does respond, although I can't find any data on it anymore.
How do I get my iPod to work again: connect to my windows / iTunes player? Please, any help is appreciated!

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 or playing songs, but is showing gigs being used

Hi,
I've got a 4th generation ipod. I sent it back to
have the battery
replaced. when it came back, it looks as if my
music was all wiped
out. But... if you go under menu --> about, it
shows that i am using
about 14 gigs of space.
I can even hook this ipod up to my computer and
'explore' it through
the drive letter and see the hidden files and
actually play the music
using Microsoft Media Player or RealPlayer.
I am trying to get the music off of the ipod into
my external hard
drive so that i can reformat the ipod to fix it,
but i am not having
any luck. I've tried copypod and ephpod2 with no
luck. It starts to
copy it, but is never able to finish it.
If you know of anyone that can do this, please
let me know.
Thanks,
Henry

I don't know if the ipod still works with my old windows laptop- wouldn't it erase all the data if I plugged it in to an empty itunes library? :/
And uhm... no, basically. It's not showing up on anything on the macbook, though on the ipod screen it says it's charging, which is what's quite puzzling.
Yeah, my ipod was transferring music until about a week ago or so, so I thought it probably wasn't that, but better safe than sorry!
The ipod itself seems to be fine- I was listening to it this morning, no problems at all. I guess it could be the cable- but I don't have another ipod to try on my macbook, if that's what you meant.
I'll see if I can go into the nearest Apple store sometime this week and see if they have anything to say about this!
Anyway thanks for the reply!

IPod not showing up at all on Mac but works fine on Windows?

I've been searching for an answer on these discussion boards for hours and have not yet found any situation that was quite like mine and I'm getting a bit frazzled and worried.
I have a 120GB iPod classic, which I've used for two years with an ACER laptop and it works perfectly. Two months ago, I switched to a Macbook Pro and synced my iPod with it; again everything worked fine. My iPod was synced with the Mac and all the new music had been transferred.
Today, I've been trying to connect my iPod to my Mac but nothing happens. It only charges (and I can't even be sure that it IS charging because the charging green sign does not show up on the iPod). It does not show up in Finder, or in the iTunes source list; it does not sync. I've reset it a billion times, restarted my mac, switched USB cords and USB ports, even downloaded and installed every software update imaginable but nothing is working.
If I leave the iPod connected to the Mac for a while, something even more alarming happens. It connects for around 3 seconds, and then ejects itself repeatedly. It's like watching someone go insane.
Naturally, I freaked out and tried to connect the iPod to a PC and it is working perfectly on the PC. Please, someone help. I have no idea what's going on.

Did you download and install the latest version of ITunes over the existing installation?

Be sure to try everything else mentioned in this article.

What if you connect the iPod in Disk Mode?

If the iPod is recognized okay on the PC, try restoring it there and then reconnecting it to your own laptop.

Sub folders not showing in Explorer view

Hi,
We have a totally standard Sharepoint 2013 installation. We've noticed this week that in some document libraries when opening them up in Explorer view it doesn't display all the sub folders in that library/folder. It's a real pain when users have a folder
with 20+ documents and want to move them somewhere else and can't because one of the folders aren't showing up. Manually moving them one by one is pretty tiresome.
If I remove the subfolder in Sharepoint and then recreate the folder in Explorer view that works fine, so it's not that the name is too long. It's not a permission thing since I'm site collection admin. Same issue on Windows 7 and Windws 8. Tried different
logins. Just can't wrap my head around this issue or what's causing it.
Any ideas?

Hi Kristoffer,
I have seen an attribute for folder object which could control SharePoint folder hide or show in webdav explorer view, you can use PowerShell to output the problematic folder property, see if it the case, then use the PowerShell code to set it's property
with blank value to make it show in explorer view,
Use the PowerShell to get the folder object and then check the property value with this code line $folder.Properties["vti_winfileattribs"]
#folder can be site, library level and folder level
$folder = (Get-SPWeb http://sp).Folders["shared documents"].SubFolders["folder1"]
#hide folder
$folder.Properties["vti_winfileattribs"]="00000016"
#show folder
####$folder.Properties["vti_winfileattribs"]=""
$folder.Update()

My daughter's iPod not showing up in my devices.

Just started using the new updated iTunes. Wanted to remove my daughters iPod and move it to her own account on her own computer, but I can't find her iPod in my devices. I clicked on my account and went to manage devices, it tells me I have 5 devices associated with my account, but her iPod is not listed, nor is my other daughters iPod. iTunes knows the iPod is there because I was able to update it, it even knew it was "katie".
How do I proceed? How can I remove her iPod from my account?
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The an iPod appears under Devices in the sidebar.
If iPod does not show under devices see:
