IPod not showing up in new 7.0 iTunes

I have had this problem several times since the new 7.0xxx iTunes has come out. I follow the steps in the diagnostic help topic and I eventually am able to fix the problem, but it is a different fix that works each time and it has been taking nearly half a day to resolve the issue (this is getting tedious!!!)! Is there something that is probably causing this issue to reoccur? Is there something with iTunes 7.0 and Norton SystemWorks that is causing this to reoccur? I never had any problems prior to 7.0 and obviously we can't go back to previously version since all files were transposed and reinstalling previous version 6.0 just causes errors. Thanks.

if this has just started happening for you with 7.0.x, it might be worth checking on the possibility from this document:

IPod not showing up on computer or in iTunes

My iPod mini (It's the older version of iPod mini in the darker colors) recently stopped showing up on my iMac and iTunes. It charges, but since it doesn't show up, I can't add music or anything.
I already looked at the support page Apple has for this problem and I tried everything and nothing helped me. The only thing I didn't try was resetting my iPod, which I don't think will work because not only does my iPod not show up, but neither does my sister's and my mom's.
My sister has the same model of iPod mini as mine, and my mom has the slightly newer mini (with the brighter colors).
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this problem? I gave up on it for awhile, but now I really need it resolved. Thank you in advance.

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.

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 Not Showing Up In The List In Itunes

Hey, ive had problems with my ipod lately. basically when ever i plug my ipod into my computer, it appears in mycomputer and itunes also opens. i have run the diagnostic in the help menu in itunes and it is detecting my ipod HOWEVER it will not show up in the list on the right hand side!!!! I have tried all the things suggested by apple such as reinstalling and many other things like ending the process etc. no luck.. plz help!

Have you tried simply resetting hte ipod while it's connected to the PC?
If that doesn't help, here is an article with a long list of other stuff to investigate.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
You need to expand each link and read all the stuff. For example, under
"Connect iPod to a high-powered USB port"
the 4th line down says
+If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.+
That is a step you wouldn't want to skip, as it can really narrow things down.

IPod not showing up on my Mac or Itunes

I got a 30 gb video iPod this past Christmas and have had no problems until the other day. Now when I plug it in it doesn't show up on my Mac or in iTunes. It does show up in the System Profiler. I've tried everything in this article multiple times: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950. The only success I've had is with restoring my iPod, but then of course I have to wait an hour for everything to get put back on there. Does anyone have a solution?
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.7) iTunes 6.0.5

It's only the iPod video and iPod nano that cannot be synced over Firewire. They can be both charged and synced with USB.
If you're having trouble with the iPod being recognized after the latest update, try the following.
Windows users
Force the iPod into disk mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Connect the iPod to the computer
Click Start > Run
Type compmgmt.msc
Click on "Disk Management"
Let the computer go through its connection process
Find the iPod's volume
Right click on iPod and click on Format
Set the format to FAT32
Leave the rest of the settings on their defaults
Do not perform a quickformat
Start the format
When it's done, your iPod should appear in iTunes, although it is recommended that you restore the iPod after formatting it. It's not recommended to do this on a 60GB iPod
Mac users
Open your Finder
Go to Macintosh HD
Go to Applications
Go to Utilities
Go to Disk Utility
Select your iPod's volume in the left-hand column
Click on the "erase" tab
Volume Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Uncheck "install Mac OS 9 driver)
Click the erase button
It's recommended that you restore the iPod with the iPod Updater after running disk utility on it.

IPod not showing up on desktop or in iTunes, thinking I have to re-install.

My iPod isn't showing up when I plug it into my iMac G5 and going through the help menus, I've found that it suggests re-installing iTunes before trying to restore my iPod.
I have a color screen 20 GB iPod that I purchased about a year ago.
Now, will re-installing iTunes dump all my ratings and notes and cover art I've collected and modified over the past year?
It seems to me that my iPod is full of songs I might not like to listen to as much and podcasts I'm never going to listen to in the first place, so it seems to me that I'd be better off just restoring the iPod instead.
Any suggestions or people who have the same problem?
I will reward helpful hints, and this will be posted on the iPod board as well. Thanks.

Now, will re-installing iTunes dump all my ratings and notes and cover art I've collected and modified over the past year?
No, it won't. Cover art is embedded in the song files and ratings and comments are stored in the 'iTunes library' file, which isn't replaced or deleted by re-installing iTunes.
Before re-installing iTunes, you might read this article.
It contains lots of useful information about fixing these kind of problems.
Personally, I would try the 5 R's first (Reset, Retry, etc.)
Hope this helps.

IPod not showing up on desktop nor in iTunes

My iPod doesn't seem to register on the desktop anymore. It was working fine until last night. The iPod screen would say that it's connecting and tell me not to disconnect. Then, it would go dark and you'd see the Apple logo, as if it were resetting itself. I've tried resetting it, but it appears to do the same thing after I've plugged it in again. Can I restore the iPod without plugging it in? Perhaps there's a corrupt file / mp3 on the iPod? How do I erase the iPod without plugging it in?

I was wondering if anyone was able to help you with your iPod problem. I'm having some of the same problems with the added "excitement" of a Do Not Disconnect showing on my iPod but nothing showing my iPod either on the desktop or in iTunes. I don't know what to do. I can't even restore it to factory settings because it doesn't show up anywhere. Was hoping you got some help and could share it.
Thanks

Older iPod not showing up for syncing in iMac iTunes

I've an older iPod, model MA497LL, i.e. an 8 GB, software version 1.1.3.
When I try to synch it, it does not appear on iTunes 11.3 on my 10.9.4 desktop.
Any fixes? Or is this guy past synching?

Hello ThisIssue
Check out the troubleshooting assistant in the first article below. It will walk you through a few simple steps like restarting your iPod nano and changing ports on your Mac. Another troubleshooting option is to put your iPod nano into disk mode and then plug it in and see if iTunes recognizes it to be restored.

I just downloaded latest version of Itunes and now my Ipod does not show up when I connect to Itunes, I just downloaded latest version of Itunes and now my Ipod does not show up when I connect to Itunes

I recently downloaded the latest version of Itunes. As soon as that was finalized, my Ipod stopped showing up on the screen when I was in Itunes and I can't sync new songs and audiobooks to it. How do I get my Ipod to work again? It charges up and plays just fine, it will not sync or update with Itunes. There is nothing showing on Itunes that I can manually sync it, either. That option can't be clicked on. I have no other devices other than the Ipod that syncs with Itunes now, I used to have an Iphone, but I don't anymore

IMG Menu is not showing Financial accounting New in ECC 6.0

Hi
We have completed a technical upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 but IMG menu of ECC 6.0 is not showing financial accounting new.I believe financial accounting new is the integral part of ECC 6.0 and both the menu Financial accounting and financial accounting new should show.
If anybody has face this issue,Please respond
Regards
Gaurav

Hi Markus,
I do have access to u201CActivate New General Leader Accountingu201D but help of this node says below points:
The functions for new General Ledger Accounting become available.
In the SAP Reference IMG, the previous Financial Accounting menu is replaced by the Financial Accounting (New) menu. Under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) and General Ledger (New), you can make the settings for New General Ledger Accounting.
You activate the tables of new General Ledger Accounting so that your posting data is written to them.
Caution:
If you already use classic General Ledger Accounting in your production system, you need to perform the migration of this data before you activate New General Ledger Accounting. Migration is only possible as part of a project. For more information, see the documentation in the SAP Library under Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Tools -> Migration.
I guess this tab is use at the time of going for the functional upgrade which I believe a separate project. We only want to have that both the node u201Cfinancial accountingu201D and u201Cfinancial accounting newu201D should appear.
Please suggest if you have any idea or any person who had faced the same kind of problem in past.
Regards
Gaurav Agarwal

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.
