Ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount to iTunes

My ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount on iTunes (using a Mac). When plugged in, it appears on my desktop as if it were a jump drive.
I was planning on re-formatting it with Disk Utility but I'm not sure if this is a good idea. I also realised that the Format is listed as Windows NT File System (NTFS) when I have the disk utility window open. If I need to format with Disk Utility, what format option should i choose? (i.e. Mac OS Exteneded (Journaled), Mac OS Extended etc.)
Thanks in advance!!!

Now when I connect the Ipod to my Mac, it mounts as a Device on iTunes. I want to sync only a few items from my library onto this iPod - when I attempt to do this (by either adding the specific music to the "music" section on the iPod or creating a playlist and using Autofill to fill the iPod), the iPod says that it has Synced but when I disconnect the iPod, there is no music on it. Why?

Java applet works in windows and does not work in linux

Hello, guys!
I'm working with site which is located in vpn network at work.
I use browsers firefox 3 and opera.
When I want to open java applet using firefox or opera at first everything is fine then on the last stage of loading(judging by progress bar) applet hangs(progress bar hangs) and when I reload page firefox shows in the bottom bar: applet <applet's name> bail.
In windows everything works both in ie6 and firefox 3.
On both environments I have the jre 6 installed.

To solve this problem(feature?) I disabled DirectX-based acceleration for Java 2D but that works for javacpl.exe and does not work for my applet.

My ipod will charge but does not show in itunes or windows

I tried to use my ipod as a disk to transfer my itunes library from my desktop to my notebook (both Dell), now my ipod charges, but does not show up in itunes or on either of my computers. I have used the advice of going to control panel and unchecking the box under power management but that didn't work, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE HELP ME?
I have windows xp on one and vista on the other, if that helps.

This worked for me, don't know if it will for you. Have ITunes open. While IPod is connected to computer press(at the same time) the menu and center buttons until your screen goes black and shows the apple icon then immediately press the forward button. Your IPod should show up. It won't hurt to try it, even if it doesn't work. Hope this is of some help to you.

My ipod touch is using location services of china and does not show the place where i am living in india.

when i use location services through wi-fi my ipod doesnt show my exact location and uses china as default location , so i am encountering problems while yousing apps like watsapp or wechat etc. plz give me a solution

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. or finds one that has it location as China. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. However, I do not know if that applies to India. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

IPod classic (first generation) does not synch on Itunes 9.0.3 on Mac

I have an Ipod classic 160 Gb (first generation) that is not synchronizing in Itunes 9.0.3 on iMac (OS Snow leopard). When connected in the usb port, a hard disk icon is displayed on the desk, ITunes is started (if not already atarted). The Ipod shows "connected" and I can see a "synchronizing" for a very short time but the Ipod never shows up in Itunes window. My other Ipods (Touch and shuffle) are properly synchronized. I can synchronize my Ipod classic on a PC (Windows) using Itunes 9.0.2.25. I tried to reinit the Ipod (toggle Hold then Menu-Select). I also tried to reset to factory. I tried swith the Ipod to Hard isk mode. I also re-install Itunes on my iMac. I rebooted the iMac. I used different usb ports. Nothing works and I'm clueless.

i know u fixed it, but i had the same problem (my ipod 2nd generation would not appear on my itunes version 9.0.2 on my mac OSX 10.4.11, it appeared on the desktop but not in itunes as there was no device subheading) i fixed this problem by plugging my ipod into another computer and syncing it to that itunes, as the problem is not with the ipod just with itunes. when i plugged it back into my computer it gave me the device option, and i could sync it with my songs, it shows up every time now! hope this helps someone!

Ipod "Forgetting" songs, and Does not get recongnized by Itunes...

Hello,
I have a problem with my Ipod 40GB Black & white Screen w/ clickwheel.
This problem has happened before but now it just got worse.
My Ipod "Forgot" all og my songs, I can't see any of them.
Now beforehand, I would normally plug it in, which I did, and Itunes opened and showed me all of my songs on the Ipod. So, I Ejected my Ipod. And I turned it on, nothing, the songs were still missing.
So I went to try plugging it in the next day... Itunes opens up, but it never shows my iPod.
Even though Itunes does not recognize it, Windows does detect it and I am able to access it as the disk.
No it is not in disk mode either. and resetting it didn't help.
Then I went to try it in another computer, same problem, Itunes opens up but never shows my Ipod, but Windows Still recognizes it and shows it as a removable drive.
What can I do?
Nick

Try DFU mode and then restore

Next try on another computer.
Problems like yours happens since downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

IPod keeps blinking and does not start up!

Hi,
I braught an iPod of model number A1236 a year back. And did not use it for past 6 months.
Yesterday, I tried connecting it and it was working fine. Unfortunately, I just pulled off the USB cable without a safe remove of USB from windows or an eject from iTunes.
From that time, whenever I connect my iPod to my windows XP pro machine, the screen keeps blinking with the apple logo. Niether its recognized as USB device by windows nor iTunes recognizes it.
I tried, the troubleshooting steps provided in apple iPod technical site, none of them helped and I am also not able to put the iPod to disk mode.
I am not sure whats to be done next and I am afraid if I spoiled my iPod. Please suggest what to do next..
Thanks,
Jade

IPod music, movies etc. does not show in iTunes

I'm connecting my iPod to my Macbook Pro with Mac OS X Tiger. It is formatted for Windows because I use my iPod with both PC's and Macs. I've conected it many times before with no problems. Now when I connect it to the computer, the Summary page comes up. It says that capacity is n/a and I can't view any of the other pages (music, videos, etc.). The iPod still plays music fine. Any suggestions?

:-) the problem is solved. Thanks to a great typ in one of the other discussions with alt+cmd+S iTunes looks again like something I recognize. After removing the iPod from iMac and also from the connecting "holder", turning it on ad off, rebooting the iMac, maggic happens and the iPod now shows in iTunes and everything works just fine.

Windows: iphone does not show in itunes

Hi all,
I used to sync my iphone with itunes on my notebook.
I realy dont know what changed but: from one day to the other, itunes does not recognize the iphone any more.
( the cable seems to be ok, since when I connect the iphone to a different computer, itunes fires up ok)
I checked the support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 ), so:
i have the usbaapl.sys file in system32/drivers; ok
the apple serverices are running; ok
BUT: the iphone is not listed under USB devices in the device manager
(btw: the windows camera diaglog fires up as expected, when the iphone is connected )
I restarted my notebook, reinstalled itunes, turned the Iphone off and on - no change.
I realy need my iphone to sync again - so please help.

The only other option I can think, is that you should try a program called revo uninstaller. It will go through and not only uninstall the program but also delete all registry files and files/folders related to the program. Before you do this, you should backup iTunes onto DVDs or to a hard drive.
If this doesn't work, then it is a problem with the Windows OS itself and not with the iPhone software on Windows.
One last thing, when you connect your iPhone, do the following:
-Right click on My Computer and select Manage
-Select Device Manager
-Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers
-Do you see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver"?
-Try right clicking on it and select uninstall.
-Disconnect and reconnect your iPhone.
