IPod Not showing up in iTUNES! UREGENT!

When I plug my ipod into the computer, it shows up on my pc, but not my itunes. I have recently restored my iPod, because I kept freezing on the apple logo. I hada corrupt file.
I don't know why this isn't showing up at all.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!
Thanks.

Try right clicking on your iPod in My Computer or Device Manager, select disk management, and format your iPod (FAT32, not a quick format), and while you are in the area assign it a much higher drive letter like M or P or Z. After this Restore it in Itunes.

  • 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 (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 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:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • 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.

  • Windows Service Manager 32-Bit Has Stopped Responding/iPod not showing up in iTunes

    Hello,
    I've scoured this forum for answers but I cannot find any result that works. I have an iPod classic that I've connected to my Gateway running Windows Vista for over four years without issue. When I was using iTunes 9 the other day, I plugged my iPod into my computer, but it only connected to My Computer and didn't connect to iTunes and update my iPod accordingly. So, the iPod is charging and the iPod is showing the "Connected, Eject before disconnecting" screen, but it isn't adding new music (which kind of defeats the purpose of buying new music). I thought it was because I was using 9, so I downloaded iTunes 10, but the issue still popped up.
    This hasn't pop up today after I installed 10, but back when I was using iTunes 9 the following error came up on my computer: "Windows Service Manager 32-bit Has Stopped Working." Now, no error messages pop up, even though the problem persists.
    I've tried suggestions in this post as well as in this post. Also, with the fix being recommended in those threads to change the code in Notepad by clicking "edit" under the System tab under My Computer? There's one problem - there is no edit button on my options. I've included a screen grab to prove this.
    I don't know if the relative age of the discussions makes any difference - maybe a new fix has com up and i'm just not finding it? Plus, since this issue began with iTunes 9, I can't help but feel like getting rid of iTunes 10 is going to help the issue, either.
    This is incredibly frustrating, not being able to add new music to my iPod, so if anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it, as previously recommended ones aren't useful.
    Screen grab of iPod connecting to My Computer, but not iTunes:
    Screen grab of the lack of an "Edit" button in the place to edit codes as recommended in previous topics:

  • 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!
    Thanks to this: http://technicallyeasy.net/2009/03/restoring-a-previous-version-of-your-itunes-l ibrary/
    Everything working perfectly now. Thanks!

  • Ipod not showing up in Itunes

    When I plug in my ipod, it doesn't show up in itunes at all.
    but it charges fine, and it shows up in my computer.
    What do I do?

    I have this problem with several versions of iPods nano. They are mounted on the desktop but don't show up in iTunes. Interestingly, the iTunes window comes to the front, so it thinks something should be happening -- like showing the iPod in its sidebar list -- but it's not happening.
    I have found the following works:
    Quit iTunes
    Plug in the iPod
    When iTunes is launched with the insertion of the iPod, it seems to show up in the list but not when iTunes is already open.

  • Ipod not showing up in itunes when connected

    I get a message that says the device has been detected but can't be identified and to reinstall itunes.  I did that and it is still not showing up.  I have reset it and tried most suggestions that I have found.  Short of going to the Apple store, is there any other way to get it to show up.
    Thanks

    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”

  • Menu bar icons vanished and iPod not showing up in iTunes anymore

    All menu bar icons on the right side (keyboard, clock, battery) vanished.
    It's not possible to get them back by mark their visability in the system configuration. The system just ignores any attempt to do that (I can mark the check box, but nothing appears on the menu bar; after leaving and returning to the panel, the mark has gone).
    Besides of that, my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes anymore (but does on the desktop).
    My laptop may be physically damaged as it fell down to the floor a few days ago.
    Can anybody help?

    Have you run the Apple Hardware Test and also Repair Disk?
    THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
    1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
    2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger, on the Menubar at the top of the screen.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3.Click the First Aid tab.
    4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
    6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
    7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
    9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
    10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
    Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number.
    Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.

    Hi,
    TO check if its your computer see if you have service pack 2 (right click on my computer and go to properties and click on the gneral tab) if not it can be downloaded at microsoft.com. If you have SP2, check it on someone elses computer who has the software installed. If you dont have anyone close to you who has a computer with the software installed check out the apple stores they do basic trouble shooting the store (you have to make a reservation at apple.com/retail, or you can make a walk in appointment). If you dont you can call apple support 1-800-275-2273. If you dont want to call support you can send your ipod in for repair at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod
    Good Luck
