IPOD shuffle does not show in itunes

New IPOD shuffle nver showed up in itunes
Installed itunes again, no way

Did this work before on this computer, and it is not working now for some reason?  Or is this the first time you are using it with this computer?
Make sure the plug on the USB docking cable is completely inserted into the headphones jack, as shown in this document

If that's not the problem, watch the shuffle's light as you connect it to USB.  Does it come ON?  If it does, what does it do?

  • TS1363 1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes (windows 7)?

    1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC (but shows up in my computer).  Tried all the Apple trouble-shooting steps (some several times).  It used to work with Windows 7 on this PC.  Are there other steps I can try? 

    I'm not sure what "all" means, unless you state them, so if you have not done so already, you should use this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle

    Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected.  Run iTunes.  Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
    Since this is a first gen iPod shuffle that IS recognized by the computer (so it's probably not a bad USB connector), you can also try using the iPod Reset Utility

    This is for the first and second gen iPod shuffle only, and does a lower level reset than using a normal Restore in iTunes.

  • My shuffle does not show in iTunes? old model.

    my shuffle does not show in iTunes? Tryd everything. What can I do?

    If the "old model" is the 2nd gen shuffle, are you using it with the original USB docking cable that came with it?  It has a mini-dock at the iPoid end.   The docking cable for the 3rd and 4th shuffles do not work with the 2md gen shuffle, because the connector is different.

  • My iPod Touch does not show on itunes

    When I plug in my iTouch to the computer and open iTunes, the device does not show on iTunes. I tried restarting the computer and reconnect the usb drive, but it still does not show. The device is recognized on My Computer so I think something is wrong with iTunes.

  • Ipod music does not show in Itunes

    Hello! I am new to the forum and was hoping someone could provide some advise please. I previously used Windows with my Ipod - they were synced. I have since purchased a Macbook Pro. My previous Itunes playlist (windows) is on the Ipod, but no longer on my current Itunes (macbook). I want to play music from my Ipod on my Mac and possible transfer music from the Ipod to the Mac. I have ticked 'manually manage', when I plug in the Ipod, however, it does not show any music Ipod content on Itunes. Am I missing something basic? Thank you so much.

    Hi...
    possible transfer music from the Ipod to the Mac.
    First, if you have not done so, launch iTunes on your Mac. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now connect the iPod.
    Now from the menu bar again click File > Transfer Purchases from ...
    For "non" iTunes purchases you may need to use a third party utility.

  • Podcast category for iPod Touch does not show in iTunes

    When connecting my iPod Touch to iTunes, the "Podcasts" category no longer appears in the sidebar under "Devices". The category DOES appear under the Library portion of the sidebar, however. I prefer to manage and sync my podcasts manually within iTunes, but I now have no way of removing old podcasts from my iPod.
    I'm running iTunes 10.0.1.22 under Windows XP and my iPod Touch 3rd generation is running iOS 4.0.

  • My ipod shuffle does not show up on my computer

    My computer does not recognize my ipod shuffle 4th generation

    Hello dcollins1960,
    From what you are describing the iPod will not show up in iTunes when you connect it. I found an article that may help you with the iPod issue you described.
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communties.

  • IPod shuffle does not recognized by iTunes after restore

    Hello
    I have a iPod shuffle (4th gen) and a windows laptop.
    After restoring my iPod shuffle (as directed by iTunes), iTunes does not recognized my iPod anymore.
    The data in the iPod has been deleted (ie return to the factory settings), but iTunes does not proceed to prompt me to name my iPod and set up sync options etc, it simply does nothing and does not recognize my iPod. 
    I went on My Computer, and reformatted the iPod shuffle again. As a result of the reformatting, iTunes recognizes my iPod but it requires me to restore my iPod back to factory settings again. It became a cycle of either recognizing the iPod but asking me to restore it; or does not recognize my iPod after restoration.
    Please kindly assist me with this situation as it is rather frustrating.
    iTunes is in the latest version as I have attempted the trouble shooting support on the webpage.
    Many thanks.

    Hi priscillayeung,
    If you are having issues with your iPod being recognized by your Windows computer but not by iTunes (or being recognized but requiring a restore, which then causes it to not be recognized again), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Ipod classic does not show in itunes or my computer. Can anyone help?

    I'm hoping someone can help me out.
    I've had my Ipod classic 80GB for about 5 years. Yesterday for the first time, I encountered a major problem. My Ipod does not appear in either Itunes or My computer when connected by USB to my laptop.
    The I pod just displays the message 'connected - eject before disconnecting'. Also my Itunes and internet explorer freezes while the I pod is connected.
    I've researched the problem online all day and still no solution. Have already reset the Ipod to factory settings, performed diagnostics both on i tunes and disk mode on the ipod itself. The latter displays the information 'Reallocs 0 and Pending Sectors 2, which from my research indicates that the disk drive on the ipod itself is still ok.
    Is there something I'm missing here? Or is it time to get a new Ipod classic?
    Would be extemely grateful for any advice.
    Thank you
    Dario

    - however once i reached the crutial stage of
    actually switching the 'terminal services' from
    disabled to manual, I get an error message on my
    computer "Error 5: Access denied" and nothing on the
    site gives any indication of what to do in such an
    eventuality.
    Do you have an administrator account on your computer? If you are not logged in as administrator, do so before attempting to change the to manual. However, I myself am having the same problems with my own ipod..

  • Ipod shuffle does not connect to itunes anymore

    Hi
    I am having trouble getting my Ipod Shuffle 4th Generation to show as a device in Itunes. I think this has been the case since I undertook recent upgrades. I have followed the trouble shooting assistant and have had no luck. Suggestions appreciated.

    That's for iOS devices...

  • TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes

    My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes, and is not recognized by my computer. I am using a MacBook Pro purchased six months ago, with all software up to date. I am using the most recent version of iTunes,and the original factory connector.  It does charge through the computer, but is not seen by the computer.  I have gone through all of the recommened troubleshooting, and have verified that the connectors are plugged in properly.

    Thanks for a reply
    The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
    I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
    I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

  • 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.
