IPod takes 5 minitues to show up in iTunes

Ehen starting up iTunes, it takes about 5 minutes before my iPod shows up on the left side. I did a restore but that didn't help. How can I fix this problem?

Check your Mac's System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items and see if iTunes Helper is present.
If not, go to iTunes in your applications folder, control-click and select "show package contents". Navigate to the resources folder and find iTunes Helper. Drag it to the login items list. Restart your Mac (or log out and log in).

    With your iPod connected to your computer and iTunes running, select your iPod form the left pane, click the File menu in top bar, from there select "transfer purchases from iPod"

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    hey Apples Users,

    Could anyone in there show me the best solution for the same
    thanks in advance

    First of all does, the iPod power on okay? 
    Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB ports, preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC tower (these are directly soldered onto the motherboard and receive much high outputs of power than the ones on the front).
    What about a different USB sync cable?
    What shows up on the iPod's screen when you connect it?  Does it charge at all?  Maybe try resetting it with it still connected to your PC.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd generation not showing up in itunes

    ipod shuffle 2nd generation not showing up in itunes and when in its dock blinking orange.

    I believe blinking orange means the iPod shuffle is in use by the computer (in some way).  That's actually good, because it means it is at least recognized as being connected to USB.
    If you have not already, be sure to try shutting down the computer completely (power off), with the iPod NOT connected.  Also, follow this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle.

    Turn on your computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect the iPod shuffle.

  • Ipod is FROZEN and WONT SHOW UP ON ITUNES/COMPUTER!

    My second generation Ipod is a little more than a year old and has worked splendidly until this last monday.
    Five days ago my ipod would not play a song, and when i tried to skip it, it wouldnt play that song either. The CD cover would also not show up.
    This has happened to me before, so i did what i normally do to fix it, plug it into a wall charger for a whole day. However, this did nothing. Today, I took it off the charger and plugged it into my computer, a little beep sounds but wont show up on itunes or my computer.
    It began to charge with my computer, but then it froze completely. Im unable to change the song or turn it off (when i take it off the computer it is still frozen for hours with the backlight and charging sign in the battery)
    obviosly i can not restore it if it wont show up on itnes, and i can not put it in disk mode if it is frozen!
    is there anything i can do?

    Mine did the same thing, hold down the center button then press menu hold them both down for about 10 seconds. You may have to do it more than once. I hope that helps!!!!!!

  • How do I restore my 80gb ipod if it doesn't show up in itunes?

    My ipod seems to have gotten corrupted somehow, it show everything stored on it as "other" an orange bar, no music, no videos, no pics. Also it doesn't show up in the itunes source area so I can not restore from there. I tried the 5 R's, didn't really do anything but get it into disk mode. Anyway if there is another way to restore without itunes your help is appreciated.
    Jack

    There is no way to restore your iPod if it doesn't show in iTunes, although if shows up under "my computer" you could try a reformat there.
    I only know the instructions for XP so I'm not sure if it's the same with Vista.
    First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
    To exit forced disk mode, reset the iPod.

  • IPod touch 4th gen wont show up in iTunes, but my old iPod nano does.

    So I've looked up this issue on multiple forums and here, but it seems like everyone is having a simmilar issue, but not the same. I've gone through just about everything here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369 and I've tried all the trouble shooting and everything. I thought that maybe it was an issue with my cheap USB but I recently purchased an apple brand one and it still doesn't work. My iPod doesn't even show up as an iPod in the connected devices on my computer, but it shows up as a camera or something. I have a Toshiba Leading Innovation laptop with Windows 8, and a 4th generation iPod touch. My older iPod nano connects to iTunes just fine. I'm thinking it's an issue with my iPod touch but I have absolutely no clue how to fix this. Can anyone help?

    The Nano uses different drivers than iOS devices like the iPod touch
