Ipod not showing up in itunes, computer asking to fix but nothing happening

I plugged my ipod into my laptop and it said it was corrupted. Since that I’ve done the five r's and tried to scan it to find the problem. Nothing is working. The ipod just says recharging don't disconnect and then I get the message disk corrupted do you want to scan and fix. If I say yes nothing happens if I say no nothing happens. It shows up in my computer but won't let me look in it and itunes never brings it up. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem. I've been able to get it into disk mode, but then iTunes won't recognize it and so I can't restore it. This is the second iPod I've this happen to (the original one I bought and it's replacement) within two years. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • 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 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

    - 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:

  • 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 Touch shows up on My Computer, but freezes iTunes, and does NOT show up on iTunes, how can i fix this?

    I have honestly spent countless hours trying to fix this, I FINALLY got it to show in My Computer, driver is updated, I have re-installed iTunes numerous times, recently did a FRESH Windows 7 Ultimate re-install, i can't restore the iPod (because it has been restored, and I can't even access it via iTunes) My iPod is NOT broken, it works on my laptop fine, it shows up on iTunes and My Computer, no problem. However, I need to use my iPod on my main computer for songs (iPod's practically new by the way) Like my question states, my iTunes freezes up, and it's very strange because it freezes, then a couple minutes later iTunes works fine, BUT my iPod doesn't show up on the side like it's supposed to. I've done everything, I hope I get some good support, thanks in advance!

    Edit: I have the latest update for the driver, and iTunes, iPod has 4.3.3

  • Ipod not showing up in itunes or on computer

    after updating to itunes 9.1 my ipod will not show up anywhere on my computer. It doesn't even do anything when i plug it in. Although everytime since then a message comes up after logging into my computer about the applesync notifier had some sort of error and CoreFoundation.dll was not found. I re-installed itunes and that didn't help so i uninstalled MobileMe and now the message does not come up,my ipod still doesn't connect though.Any help?

    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.
