Ipod not showing up, locks up iTunes
I'm sure this is an old question but I bought a used Ipod mini and everything worked great for a while so I don't think it's a bad iPod. Downloaded iTunes 7.7 and got songs sent over and it worked fine for a week. Today the computer won't recognize the iPod and when I plug it in it locks up iTunes. I see the iPod in the device manager and it says it's working properly. Also the songs on the iPod vanished today as well. Nothing has happened (dropped, damaged, etc) so I'm at a loss. I tried uninstalling 7.7 and installing 7.6 but no difference. help! Like I said it worked great before, now nothing.
Vista Home, HP Pavillion 2GB, Dual Core.
Thanks!

i think since so many people are having this problem they should tell you how to fix it in the manual it comes with.
it would be alot quicker and LESS browsing and reading.

Ipod not showing up in Windows/Itunes
when i connect my ipod nothing shows up in my computer. I get an autoplay message that says, "what do you want windows to do.." but there is nothing in the list. And when I hit okay, the ipod doesnt show up in itunes. Once in a blue moon it does show up in itunes and i get a message that says the ipod is corrupted, but as soon as i click okay the ipod disappears from the list in itunes. I have reinstalled itunes, set power management to always let the USB have power, restarted, ect ect. But nothing so far. The ipod hardware itself cant be the problem because it comes up fine in my firends computer. Could it be my computer?? Idk thx! Also this just started happening w/ the new update of 7.0 in itunes...
Try the new shuffle reset tool.

The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer
The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

Then you're doing something wrong. Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
Did you check the purchase history?

Hi lindaasw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed? I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything. If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:

My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message
Hello!
My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message
" One or more devices is getting too much power from the USB wire" or sumptin like that.
I've tried this with two wires, so the problem is not there.
I reseted the iPod to factory settings but it didn't help.
Anyone??- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another USB port and computer
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My ipod touch does not show up in my itunes source list, and shows up as a digital camera in "My Computer". Any ideas?
Start here. Is ti normal and expected for the computer to also see the iPod as a comera since that is how you get saved photos from the iPod to the computer.

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.
Power iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)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.
