IPod shows up as disk but not in iTunes on Yosemite

Hi,
I have an iPod classic, previously owned by a different family member on a different library. I wanted to erase and get my own content on. The problem is that it does come up as a disk in Finder, but not in iTunes.
I have used on various other computers (all Yosemite), no problem. Just on this one it doesn't work.
I have tried to create a new library, same problem.
I have tried under a different user, same problem.
All other iOS devices work fine.
Same problem for all iPod (classic, nano, ...) which show up as disks, but not in iTunes.
The only difference is that I have Yosemite Server running on the same computer. Not sure whether this could be the reason?
Thanks
Patrick

3G iPod Shows up on Desktop but not in iTunes

I am having the same problem with my 3G iPod. It has been working flawlessly for many years but I tried to mount it and update my songs and it will show up on the desktop but not in iTunes. It does show up in the system profiler. I reset the iPod via the updater and keypresses. I trashed the plist files for the iPod and iTunes. Still nothing. I switched my firewire cables to different ports. Nothing.
What was strange was that Yami-pod does not see it as an iPod either so it is not just iTunes.
My iPod shuffle works just fine and mounts right away in iTunes.
This is on my eMac where I store my music. I have not tested it yet with the Macbook.

I tried hooking the iPod to the MacBook and it worked like a charm. I then moved the iPod back to the eMac and I still had the same problem. At my whits end I decided to zap the PRAM with the Command-Option-P-R trick and to my surprise the iPod launched iTunes and started syncing when I restarted the eMac.
I had no reason to think that there could be a problem with the PRAM as I did not have any other problems but it does seem to have been the problem.

Ipod shows up on computer but not in itunes

my ipod shows up on my computer and when i plug it in it says do not disconnect but it is not recognized in itunes. i have tried to plug and unplug it, update software and reset it while itunes was open and ipod was plugged in nothing works what do i do?

Have you Tried all the 5R's yet? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ if iTunes isn't recognizing it you might need to restore using the iPod updater.

New MPB - iPod shows up in Finder but not in iTunes. Help please!

I just completed a 95% successfull migration from my old MPB to my new MPB. iTunes seems to work fine, sees all my music and I have authorized the new mac to play the music.
However, when I connect either of my two ipods I get the same result - it does not show up in iTunes but immediately shows up in Finder. Given the same thing happens with both ipods I suspect there is some silly little setting I have to go through. Can anybody help please?
The MBP is a brand new 13" with the smaller processor. The iPods are a 2nd generation 40Gb and the 120Gb Classic.

So I ended up reinstalling iTunes. That almost solved it, but when I also restored the iPods it seems to be OK.
Must say I'm disappointed that a brand new Mac behaves this way (and ironically it did not even have the latest software installed...).

2. gen iPod nano sometimes shows up in Finder, but not in iTunes

Hi!
My brand new 8GB iPod nano that I got for christmas sometimes seems to have problems connecting to iTunes. Every now and then (perhaps 1/4 of the time?) it will show up in Finder, but not in iTunes (I haven't enabled "disk mode" yet, so when it shows up in iTunes, it is not visible in Finder). Also, on one or two occasions, it showed up in iTunes, but wasn't recognized.
Whenever this happens, I just eject the iPod from Finder and disconnect it, and on the second try (on one occasion - third try) it will show up in Finder.
What could this be? Bad connectors/cable - or iTunes just not very reliable?
MBP 15" C2D 15" 2.33/2/160 - MB (white) 2/2/120 - PBG4 12" 1.33/1.25/60 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

These problems return every now and then.
In addition, if the iPod is connected, is shown in iTunes and has already synced properly, it will sometimes reset if I try an additional manual sync from the File menu. It's a rather benign error, since it will connect and sync as soon as the iPod has restarted.
I also had one freeze of the iPod while playing.
This is my first iPod, and I'm used to computers that run for months or years without a reboot. Is it just normal for an iPod to freeze/reset every now and then? My Nokia phone does it too, but then I expect more from Apple...

Ipod shows up on PC but not Mac?

Hi there, I've got a strange problem with my year-old Ipod video 30GB.
I accidentally unplugged it from my computer before ejecting it last week. Everything was erased, and since then it won't show up on my Mac at home or at work. It doesn't pop up on the desktop or in ITunes.
I've tried everything: reset, different firewire, usb -- even connected it to a PC to try and restore it. (A lot of help the restore instructions are if the IPod doesn't show up on your computer!) Strangely enough, the IPod showed up on the PC harddrive and itunes and I restored it there. But it's still not recognized on my Mac when I plug it in.
What's extra weird is that when plugged in, teh IPod's "Do not disconnect" sign pops up. So the Ipod knows it's plugged in, but the Mac computer doesn't.
Does anyone have any ideas / has had the same problem? If not, what does one do after their warranty expires to get help? Because all the contact numbers seem to be for people with warranties.
Thanks so much!!!!!

Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
