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 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 showing up in iTunes or My Computer, but used to.
This is stumping me. I got a blue iPod nano for Christmas from my mom, and the first three times I plugged it in to sync it, it would immediately show up and sync. But, I tried to sync it this week and nothing happened. It didn't show up in iTunes, My Computer, or removable devices. I tried EVERYTHING. I restarted my computer, all 5 "R"s, charging my iPod, safely removing hardware, and NOTHING works. I have a bunch of new songs I want to put on it, but I can't get my computer to recognize it. HELP!

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

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” -

That means that iTunes is not seeing the iPod properly. Try:

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:

I need to transfer the music off of my ipod onto my mac but i cannot do that when my macbook will not recognize my ipod touch in the finder.
This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases -
