IPod now showing up in iTunes?

I just updated to iTunes 11.1.5, and my iPod's iOS is completely up to date. I tried to sync it to my computer earlier to add songs to my iPod from the computer, and the computer is recognizing the iPod, but the device isn't showing up on iTunes. I've tried redownloading iTunes, and restarting my computer. I've looked at many different things, but nothing seems to work. Any help telling me how to get iTunes to sync with the iPod? (iPod 5)

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

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!

While updating my iphone software it got intruppted and now showing connect to itune not getting restored

while updating my iphone software it got intruppted and now showing connect to itune not getting restored please help

Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
4. Allow iPhone to reboot;
If you are still unable to get the phone to power on, charge, or connect to iTunes; it could possibly require service. (hardware replacement)

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.

What does "other"other" mean? I was attempting to transfer my iPot music to my MacBook.That the music is gone is okey, however my iPod now shows about 35 Gs of "other"

I was attempting to transfer my iPod music to my MacBook.That the music is gone is okey, however my iPod now shows about 35 Gs of "other". Unless I hear otherwise I will delete it if someone tells me how.

The 35G of others is most probably your music, that got lost during a failed sync Operartion, which did not terminate correctly.
If you want to recover these, refer to an earlier post by Zeevoneer

Would be good if you have the time to read the last paragraph, link to ilounge site.
Have a nice day.
PS: if you don't have the time, just Restore your iPod, and re-sync your library data to the iPod.

IPod Touch shows plug into iTunes

iPod Touch shows plug into iTunes. I did this, it took 2 hrs. to update then tells me it doesn't see the device to Restore. I see the iPod icon in the left column under devices.

What fixes many problems in programs is to uninstall and reinstall. If you lose all your apps and music, and the problem is not fixed, I give you the right to curse as loud as you want.

Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?

Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear? The computer seems to recognize it as a camera device, rather than a mass storage device. Does this have anything to do with the problem? When plugged in, a window pops up asking which photo program you'd like to use, and if you cancel, that's it. Even if you try to open a photo program, and download your photos off of the ipod, it still won't show up in itunes.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

Do you still have the "Music Video" Smart Playlist in iTunes? If you right click on a video file, which normally shows up under "Movies" you can pick the video type of Movie, Music Video, or TV Show. When you select "Music Video" the video file drops out of the Movies section and if the Music Video playlist is present will show up there.
You might have deleted that playlist so it wouldn't be on the iPod either.
So create a Smart Playlist where the rule is Video Kind IS Music Video...

MY Ipod is showing cord and itunes logo and not responding

MY Ipod is showing cord and itunes logo and not responding

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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.

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!

Everything working perfectly now. Thanks!
