IPod not showing up in Windows explorer / iTunes - not responding to reset

I have updated my new (1 day old!!) iPod nano to the newest firmware (1.1.1.)... and now I can't use the iPod anymore.
It doesn't show up in Windows Explorer. When I try to connect to it via Run, it says: 'E:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'
When trying to open Windows Explorer, it freezes - not showing any harddrives.
When trying to connect to it via CMD (dos)... It reads: 'The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'
I have tried all the soft resets, hard resets etcetera. I have uninstalled the USB driver for iPod, uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled them both, used different USB ports. But still no success.
I can't connect to it via iPod Updater, because Windows won't connect to it.
The iPod itself does respond, although I can't find any data on it anymore.
How do I get my iPod to work again: connect to my windows / iTunes player? Please, any help is appreciated!
iPod nano 4GB Windows XP

I have tried all the 'Rs' that Apple recommend. As said, I can't hook up the iPod to my computer. I have tried to reset the iPod manually (holding the select and menu button) - but this doesn't work.
If there is another (manual) way to restore the iPod, I would love to hear about it.
As said: as for restoring the iPod - I can't get any contact with my iPod with my computer at all.

Mapped Drive B:\ to a network share but does not show up in Windows Explorer.

I mapped drive B: to a network share but it does not show up in Windows explorer. I can go to the drive by typing b:\ but is not visible in explorer. But if I login as local admin it shows up in windows explorer. Any suggestions?

Hi Lloyd Reeves,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
Disconnect the mapped drive and map it again.
Ensure the user is using an administrator account; or change another user account to have a try.
Create a shortcut for a share folder and see if it will disappear.
In addition, it would be helpful for future troubleshooting if you could help to collect the following information:
Which method did you use to map drive?
Was there any error message in the Event log? If so, please provide the detailed information.
For your information, please refer to this similar case:

Expanded Raid Size Not Showing Up In Windows Explorer

Hello,
Using Server 2012R2. I had a 32TB RAID 6 array and added more disks. I used MegaRAID Storage Manager to 'expand' the logical disk to70TB. The expansion/initializing is complete, according to MegaRAID. However, when looking in windows explorer, the volume
is still 32TB.
In the 'Server Manager -> File and Storage Services -> Volumes' it says the volume is still 32TB with some free space.
In the 'Server Manager ->File and Storage Services -> Volumes - > Disks' it says volume capacity is 70TB and 38 is 'Unallocated'
Is the volume really still 32TB after waiting 8 days for MegaRAID to expand the array or is windows explorer just not refreshing the information? Or, is there something else I must do?
Any help is appreciated.

When I try to do this, I get the error...
"the volume cannot be extended because the number of clusters will exceed the maximum number of clusters supported by the file system"
I searched around for that error and found that 4k size clusters won't allow volumes over 16TB.

I entered those commands and here were the results for that volume.

Ipod does not show up in Windows or Itunes! tried everything!

Here is the problem:
This is a new problem. Ipod worked fine on this computer until recently.
Ipod 5th gen does not show up in My Computer or Itunes.
It seems that it happend after I installed the latest update to Itunes.
What is happening:
When Ipod is plugged into my USB (the same one I always used before) it never shows up in my computer or itunes and always says "Do Not Disconnect" never stops!
What have I tried:
I plugged it into my friends laptop! It worked fine. Window found it.
I then used updater on it
I did the 5 r's over and over again. Nothing
I have reinstalled Itunes and tried that a few times
I tried different USB ports, nothing
I tried putting other items in my USBs and they work fine
IPOD just refusses to be seen on this computer again.
Any ideas? Thanks. This comp has my library and it is the one I use daily.

Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

IPhone not showing up in Windows Explorer

Hi,
My Environment is:
iTunes v9.0.2.25
iPhone 3G; OS v3.1.2
Windows Vista
When I connect my iPhone to my PC, I do not see the device under Windows Explorer nor in Device Manager. However, iTunes does pick up the iPhone and I can sync ok.
I have tried the following -
I have gone to Device Manager and uninstalled "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" from under "Universal Serial Bus Driver". I then disconnected the iPhone and reconnected, which then caused Windows to re-install the driver. However, it still does not appear under "Portal Devices" or "Imaging Devices" in Device Manager and it still does not appear under Windows Explorer.
I have also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, still no luck.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I have had exactly the same problem with both my desktop with Windows 7 and my laptop with Business Vista since the latest iTunes upgrade two weeks or so ago. I think it must be an Apple error and I am not very willing to fiddle with my machine to correct it. I think Apple should tell what is going on and give us a fix. My iTunes is 9.1.0.79 and iPhone is 3.1.3
An all my photos are stick in the phone, which is a nuisance as I use it for work and I am having to email them all to myself.

SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC/MS/MS Pro card-reader slot not showing up in windows explorer.

I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre, purchased only four weeks ago. It product family is IdeaCentre k410, machine type 10089. Anyhow, the problem is: I inserted a microSD / microSDHC, both of which seem to fit into the slot fine, though neither registers under anywhere in windows explorer, neither in the root of C://, nor in any of the subdirectories, or on the main listing of mounted file systems. I used the Lenovo Driver Updater and re-installed the SD Card Reader driver, to no avail. Any help would greatly be appreciated. As well, the computer runs Windows 8, which has some features I'm unhappy with, and although this is not a windows forum and I don't mean to create a thread that deviates from lenovo-specific topics, I was wondering if there is anything in either the machine architecture or the software of Windows 8 that could hinder m in installing a dual-boot system so that I might have the option of running a variant of linux as a sub-operating system, as I did with windows XP.????? OK any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, thank in advance. I really want to be able to retrieve some writing files I have stored in that micro SDHC card. As another aside, does anyone know the max limit of RAM this computer can take and if it is DDR or some other type?

hi BrokenHalo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Regarding your questions:
1. When you inserted the SD card, do you hear a sound that a device is inserted and under Device Manger, do you see a Card Reader?
If not, try to:
a. boot intto the BIOS by pressing F1, load defaults by pressing F9 then press F10 to save and exit BIOS.
b. Reseat the front panel connectors (see page 23 of the hardware maintenance manual)
2. To install linux (i.e. Ubuntu), see if you can install Ubuntu via UEFI. If you're unable to do so or if you want to install other OS, try to:
a. Boot into the BIOS by pressing F2 and set the following settings below
UEFI Boot Mode = Legacy
Secure Boot = Disabled (if applicable)
CSM = Disabled / Legacy or Other OS (if applicable)
OS Optimized Default = Disabled or Legacy (if applicable)
b. When finished, press F10 to save and exit BIOS then try to install Ubuntu via Wubi or insert your Windows installation disc to install a different OS.
3. As per this pdf data sheet, the Lenovo K410 has a max RAM of 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 but Crucial reports that this unit can take up to 16GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 - check this site.
Hope this helps

Lightroom watermarks not showing up in Windows explorer.

Quick question for everybody. I imagine there's an easy solution for it, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
The company I work for needs to manage and watermark many different types of photos (perfect for Lightroom.) The only problem is, when Im uploading photos to our website, the Lightroom watermarks dont show up in the thumbnail preview of Windows Explorer. When I right click the image thumbnail and select "preview" the full size image preview pops up with the watermark. I guess my question is, is there any way to get the Lightroom watermarks to show up when viewing files in Explorer in large thumbnail view? It would save my a lot of time and frustration.
Thanks ahead of time!

Im including this image in case I did a terrible job of explaining my problem.

How do I get to my bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar that do not show because my window size does not allow them to show?

In the 3.x versions of Firefox there was an area after your last bookmark in the bookmark toolbar where you you could click and access all your bookmarks in the toolbar if the window size was not big enough to show them all.
Now in 4.o all that shows are the bookmarks in the toolbar that fit in the window size. So if I have my browser window set to 900 pixels I can only see the bookmarks in the toolbar that fit in that area and I have no way of getting access to the ones that are not showing unless I make my window bigger. But even then my window can only get so large because of my monitor size at which point I can not access any of the other sites in the bookmark toolbar.
Am I missing something or is there a glitch in the 4.0 version?

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately there is no chevron sign after the last bookmark nor after the "Bookmarks" text that if clicked takes me to all my regular bookmarks and oddly does not even list my Bookmarks Toolbar folder. If I want to get into my bookmarks toolbar folder I have to the top menu and click "Bookmarks" next to the "History" link and then navigate to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder. Something odd is definitely going on and it's getting annoying.
Any suggestions welcome. I attached a screen shot so you can see.

IPod Touch not showing up in Windows or iTunes

Whenever I plug my iPod Touch to the computer, it doesn't show up in iTunes. When I connect it, it reads - "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunction and Windows does not recognize it." The Unknown Device is my iPod that's plugged in. When I pull it out, that Unknown Device is gone.I'm on Windows XP Usb Root Hub. Not on 2.0/ But my iPod and iTunes have been able to work for more than a year. My cellphone works when I connect it to the USB port, but the iPod doesn't read at all.I have tried just about everything. I have reset my iPod, reinstalling iTunes, reinstalled AMDS, etc. My iPod works with a wall adapter, just not when it's connected to the PC.I hope these details help enough.

Have you double checked to make sure the Apple Mobile Device service is installed and running?

IPod not showing up in windows or iTunes...HELP ME!!!!

PLZ HELP ME!!! i need to know what i can do to fix my iPod...i already tried reseting it and the whole thing with the hold button!!!! the problem really is that when i hook up the dock connector to the iPod..the iPod doesn't light up like usual..yes it is charged so that isn't the problem....oh plz help me!!

We've had this problem since the release of iTunes 7
The problem is NOT the iPod (we've got several replaced from Apple). The problem is iTunes and some Windows-drivers.
Still, we haven't found which drivers that causing the problem, but if you install a new copy of Windows XP with SP1 and the iTunes, it works. But after installing a couple of programs, SP's etc, it fails!
Then iTunes says your iPod is corrupt and want you to restore it. When trying that, it stops and says it can't do that. Changing drive letter etc doesn't help either.
However, if you use an older version like 6.0 it works but ONLY if you have NOT installed 7.0 -> before. Uninstalling 7.0 want work.
This is something we have reported to Apple but they don't care about it at all. Which not is so bright as you can replace the iPod during your waranty and that cost Apple alot of money and time.
"We" are 9 computer technican's and all of us have iPod's. This message is only valid for iPod's over 30GB. iPod Nano etc is NOT affected

IPod not showing up in Windows or iTunes? Showing up as removable disk :F ?

I have a 5th generation iPod Nano and I have had it for about a year. I tried plugging the iPod into my computer (Windows), but my computer and iTunes do not recognize it. The first few seconds when I do plug in my iPod, I go to My Computer and I see my iPod with my name beside it, but after about 2 seconds, it changes to Removable Disk :F and then it disappears completely after another second. Last night, when I upgraded my iTunes version, the iPod connected fine, but today, my iPod has not been recognized at all. Help please?

Ipad not connecting to Windows 7 (not showing up in windows explorer or Itunes)on to windows 7 device manager driver

After having someone fix problems with my windows, I now cannot connect my ipad to my computer or itunes. I get a yellow triangle with exclamation point in the device manager. I have tried to uninstall and install, and disable and unable. I also tried reinstalling itunes. However, nothing has worked. It might be a problem with the correct driver not being on the computer. It finds Apple Mobile Device USB Driver but cannot install because "one of the installers for this device cannot perform the installation at this time." Any ideas?

Hey ct1110,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. The following resource provides some great steps, some of which you may have already tried. Specifically, I recommend running through the steps in “5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed”:
