  • IPod Classic shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes

    My iPod Classic shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting guide, reset it 3 times and put it in disk mode, reinstalled and updated iTunes and still nothing.

    Hey there april_lee!
    I have a website for you that can walk you through the troubleshooting steps on your iPod classic. This will help you determine the source of your issue and hopefully get the iPod working for you consistently again. The website can be found right here:

  • 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 touch shows connection with home computer but can't access internet

    Just got ipod touch...and can't connect to internet on home computer.  Wifi is on and it shows connection to my home computer but I can access the internet.

    What iP address is shown on the iPod for network connection?  If it starts with 169 you are not connected to the network, the 169 IP is assigned by the iPod and not obtained form the router.
    I would try:
    - powering off and then back on yur router.
    - Reseting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

  • Music from iPod not showing up on new computer

    I recently purchased a MacBook after using iTunes with an HP laptop. Once I hooked my iPod up to my new Mac, many songs that I downloaded from sources other than iTunes and from CDs I had burned onto my iPod did not show up in my new iTunes.
    Also, any new music I purchase from iTunes, if I want to put them onto my iPod, iTunes tells me that I must erase all other files before adding my new purchases.
    Ideally I would like to keep all of the existing music from my old iPod and have it transfered to my new iTunes library.
    What do I do?!

  • 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 My Computer window!

    i have a 5th generation 60 gig video ipod and when i plug it into my computer, it shows up in itunes and i can update my music and things but it doesnt show up in the My Computer window, i have the "enable disk use" box checked and the "manually manage music" box checked also in the ipod settings in itunes but it still doesnt show up, what can i do to make it show up?
    5th gen 60 gig video ipod   Windows XP Pro   itunes 7.0.2

    If you have clicked on APPLY after setting it up for manual mode, then it should work. There is a way to do that manually without the aid of iTunes. Try this:
    With the iPod already on but NOT SYNCED TO ITUNES. Press and HOLD DOWN the menu and select (select is the center button) buttons until you see the screen go black, then immediately switch to pressing and holding down the select and play buttons until you see that the iPod has gone into disk mode. The iPod will have a white background with disk mode at the top of the screen. A black checkmark in the middle of the screen, and ok to disconnect right under the checkmark. Plug the iPod in after this and see how your system responds to it then.

  • Ipod not showing in itunes or computer

    What can I do to get my ipod shuffle to be recognized...Re-installing works when I first do it and then when I go into my library to check off some songs and back to look for my ipod--it is gone again!!

    I had 80 GB ipod before and it used to work fine , then last week I upgraded from 80GB to 160GB video classic and also i updated itunes to 7.4.1 , the first 2 days it was working excellent and on sunday morning my laptop did not recognise it , neither did itunes. It was unable to detect it . I was frustrated , so on monday i thought lets try on my office pc , also office pc did not detect. Then I did a hard boot of my ipod by pressing center button and Menu button simultaneously for few seconds and the apple logo comes and after that the menu comes , then i plugged in the ipod to my pc and now it detects as a drive. My office pc doesnot have itunes so i could not check wether Itunes detect it or not. I will check today evening that. but atleast now its detecting as a drive . I guess there is a serious problem in Ipod classic , also I found one other intresting problem. My previous 80 gig ipod was to work as a charm on my laptop external 2.0 USB device , but this 160GB classic doesnt work on external 2.0 USB device , I have to plug to my 1.1 USB port on my laptop which is very disappointing. My external 2.0 USB device shows error saying APPLE USB DRIVER NOT Found. I seriously know this is problem from ipod classic. Since my preious 80GB use to work like charm. I guess I have to update my laptop now.

  • IPod Nano shows up on "my computer", but "sync" is grayed out in iTunes

    This is my second iPod that has has the same problem on two different computers.  I have run diagnostics, and the only test that fails is the one to sync. I have went through all of the help steps located there, and still cannot get it to work.  Since this is the second iPod, and the same thing is happening I'm guessing it is not the iPod.  The first one was a 3rd generation, this one is a 4th generation Nano.  I would appreciate any help as I have done everything possible and nothing seems to make a difference.  Thanks

    Did you try reformatting it then?  If so, what happens when you tried?  What happens if you try connecting the iPod to your PC in Disk Mode?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

    iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    Then restore your iPod to factory settings.
