IPod not showing up in iTunes and have done every thing in Suport

I ve just bought a 5th gen ipod with video yesterday . installed the new itunes and set it up , but every time i connected the iPpod it kept saying it was corupted and needed to be restored or try another USB port ...
I did all that about 7/8 times and still nothing , so I re-installed every thing again and reste the pc and low and behold it started to work (so I know that it can work on my pc )
so I ejected the iPod and when I went to plug it in again it came back up with the iPod is corupted and now it shows up in windows but not in iTunes any more and Ive followed all the suports addvice and now just dont know what esle to do.
Can some one help ?

Connect your iPod to a rear port on your computer then connect your keyboard and mouse. Disconnect ALL other USB devices including printers, external hard drives, modems, printers, scanners, incense burners, cameras, etc. and disconnect from any network you might be on. Now give your iPod a much higher drive letter such as M or P or Z: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2369954#2369954

IPod not showing up in iTunes, and...

Windows Vista, Home Premium, 64-bit.
Brand new 32GB iPod touch, 2G.
I bring it home from the store, plug it in, everything works perfectly fine. By that, I mean it charges, shows up as a device in iTunes, and gets all my songs and videos on it. I also install iTunes 8.2, since it tells me I should.
That was yesterday. Now, when I plug it in, it makes two beeping noises. The iPod itself doesn't react at all, the screen just stays black. The iPod doesn't charge, and it doesn't show up in iTunes.
So, I call Apple for support, and I get it. Uninstall/reinstall, messing with the AMDS service, everything I could. The guy brought it down to either a problem with the cable, or the computer, but said it doesn't seem like it's a problem with Apple.
After the fact, I try plugging it in again, while holding down the home button, and something new shows up. It says this:
"Found New Hardware"
"Windows needs to install driver software for your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)"
and it gives me these options:
"Locate and install driver software (recommended)"
"Ask me again later"
"Don't show this message again for this device"
of course, I choose the first one and I click it. It then says:
"Driver Software Installation"
"Installing driver software"
"Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) Searching Windows Update..."
"Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) Pending..."
After a few moments, something new pops up, while "Driver Software Installation" is still running, saying:
"Found New Hardware - Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)"
"Insert the disc that came with your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)"
"If you have the disc that came with your device, insert it now. Windows will automatically search the disc for driver software."
and of course, iPod touches don't come with a disc. It gives me this option:
"I don't have the disc. Show me other options."
so I click that, and it gives me a this:
"Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
it tells me I can:
"Check for a solution"
or
"Browse my computer for driver software"
I click "Check for a solution." Instantly, it says:
"Windows was unable to install your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)"
"Windows could not find driver software for your device."
"If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
there are no more options except for "close" at that point, and the Driver Software Installation says "Failed" as a status, so I just close it.
Here's the other catch. I'm willing to try about anything to get it to work, so I think "might as well plus it into my laptop." So I do. Within moments it says:
"New hardware detected: iPod"
and then:
"iPod USB drivers installed and ready to use"
my iPod begins charging, and would apparently work fine on my old laptop, running XP.
I have no idea what to do at this point. Any suggestions?

Aaand, FIXED!

HT1338 Iphones and iPods not showing up in iTunes and iPhoto

I have 3 Iphones in the family and 2 iPod touches and none of them are showing up in iTunes or iPhoto when I connect them to my Macbook Pro. Any solutions?

1. Try reboot iPad and Computer
2. Try un-install Avaria.

While syncing last time the computer turned off during the process and now when I try to get ont oitunes the phone is read only as a camera device and I cant sync my phone. I have tried re installing itunes and have turned every thing off and on. Help!!

While syncing my Iphone the computer turned off and now Itunes doesnt read the connection. A message appears that I have plugged in my camera on my pc.I have gone through turning every thing off and on and re installing Itunes but still no luck. Any suggestions?

If iTunes cannot see your iPhone.
First, try soft-resetting your iPhone. Press and hold sleep/wake and home button, ignore the slide bar - keep pressing.
When you see the Apple logon, let go. When the phone has restarted, plug into PC. Will iTunes see iPhone now?
If not, you'll have to do a DFU restore - please note that this will wipe everything on your iPhone. If you have a recent backup (iTunes does this by default), then you're in luck and you can restore everything back.
If not, then...hmm well... Oh bum. Maybe you have an iCloud backup? I haven't tried this so I can't comment.

My iPod icon is not appearing on my desktop or on iTunes.
Which therefore means I cannot load any music onto my iPod.
I have tried:-
- Resetting default settings on iPod,
- Getting the latest updater for iTunes,
- Installing from the iPod install disk,
- changing USB ports,
- Tried it on my work Mac.
...and still nothing at all.
Please can someone suggest something else to try - I need new tunes on my pod!!!
Thanks a lot

The only trace of the Ipod being connected to my computer is in device manager and is labeled "storage device." Apple is really ******* me off right now, someone please help!

Hey Apples Users, my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer

hey Apples Users,
my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer
Could anyone in there show me the best solution for the same
thanks in advance

First of all does, the iPod power on okay?
Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB ports, preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC tower (these are directly soldered onto the motherboard and receive much high outputs of power than the ones on the front).
What about a different USB sync cable?
What shows up on the iPod's screen when you connect it? Does it charge at all? Maybe try resetting it with it still connected to your PC. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
Many thanks

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.

Artwork is not showing up on iTunes and on my iphone.

Artwork is not showing up on iTunes and on my iphone. Why is this?

I am having the same problem, i edited everything multiple times, sometime my album artwork will show up and then disappear after time. I have tried everything, even wiping my ipads music library and changing each file to AAC format, the artwork remains in my itunes when i pull up a song but as soon as i transfer the music to my ipad, everything loads successfully...EXCEPT the album artwork. Really annoying!! I really wish i could find an answer before I load all of my music back on and just give up on the search for answers,
please get in touch with me if you find out how to fix this and i will do the same for you.
I have twitter, facebook, myspace, tumblr, about me, google & aol

You can't have an iMac PPC (PowerPC) if you loaded Snow Leopard. iMac Intel are the only Macs that are compatible with 10.6. So the first thing wrong you are doing is posting in the wrong forum, or giving us misinformation.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out exactly what you are running. A G5 is a PowerPC. Intel is Intel.
Also look at the operating system in that window and update your profile.
What version of iTunes do you have?
Has the iPad ever shown before on this machine? Once we have your correct info, I'll ask a moderator move this thread.

I phone 4s not showing up in itunes and not charging also

i phone 4s not showing up in itunes and is not charging alson when u plug usb cable in computer

it could be the cord. i have that same issue with my phone and it was the cord. you're not supposed to store the usb cord (or any other electrical cord) in a bunched up manner. anyway, i played around with my cord by bending it in different directions and now the cord works and my phone is recognized again. if all else fails, best to buy a new cord.
