Ipod Touch charging but still not visible on iMac

Hi all,
first post here and looking for some wisdom.
I have an [I]iPod Touch[/I] that I have used with my [I]PC[/I] with no issues.
I now have an nice new shiny [I]iMac[/I] and want to play music as I work.
The problem is that when I plug my [I]iPod Touch[/I] into the [I]Mac[/I] it charges but is not seen by itunes.
[LIST=1]
[*]I have uninstalled itunes on the mac, reinstalled the latest version (V10).
[*]I have rebooted my iPod touch.
[*]I have changed cables and ports.
[/LIST]
Still no luck.
I don't want to sync it with the mac...yet ( in the process of decommissioning my PC. ), I just want to play music via my mac!
I have done a fair but of searching and everything points to the fact that this should not be a problem, but alas I can't see my itouch on the mac.
I have the itouch set to manually manage.
Any advice or help is appreciated.
Cheers

Any tips?

Ipod Touch Charges but does Not connect.

Hello,
I do not know much about computers and even less on how to fix any issues but here is my problem
When I connect my Ipod Touch, it will charge but will not show up in my computer. I have a Dell Laptop Windows 7.
here is what I have tried
Uninstalled Itunes and then Reinstalled it. (I deleted Everything related to iTunes)
Rest iPod by holding the Power and Home button. I even Turned it off and then On.
I went into my Computer under Services and Stopped then started my Apple Mobile Device and made sure it was on Automatic Start Up Type.
Plugged it in my Sister's Laptop and it installed the linked to her iTunes no problem.
ANy ideas?

Did you do everything here:

Ipod now charging, but still not showing in windows

Hi people,
I left a post a few days ago, when my computer would not even let the shuffle charge
however,
now the shuffle is charging and playing music, but windows or itunes still wont recognize it, so i cant try the disk manager approach or the ipod updater approach either!
someone help!
thanks

If you are really using WindowsME it will never work in iTunes, you'll have to use 3rd party software such as Xplay or Winamp. As far as it appearing in Windows, be sure you are using a rear port on your computer and no other USB peripherals are conflicting with it. You migh also try using a short USB extension cable or port extender to get a better fit if your USB ports are spaced closely together.

Ipod will charge, but is not found

Hello, I have had my Ipod Mini since march of this year(2005) and it has been working great up until about a few months ago. My Ipod will charge but is not recognized on the computer, and I have tried it in every one of my USB 2.0 slots(10 of them).
When it is recognized sometimes it will update the songs onto my Ipod and then it will just disappear from my computer, like its not connected, but it will still charge. What I want is for when I open "My Computer" it will show that a Ipod is connected and I can open if from there. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be welcomed. And yes, I have tried every one of the support things on the site and in my Ipod booklet.

Ive restarted my computer many times and its still the same, it only works about 15% fo the time, and when it does rihgt when it finishes updating it will act like its not there anymore.

My iPod touch charges but no longer plays thru my Onkyo or Phillips home theater systems. Works fine with friends iPhone and both systems worked fully with this iPod in the past.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Charge it for 15 minutes with the wall charger. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

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.

Ipod touch charging but not being seen in itunes

ATM, I've restarted my ipod touch up to 5 times and reinstalled itunes at least 2 times completely. Still, I get the error:
"Itunes could not connect to the Ipod because an invalid response was received from the device."
My mac is updated (unless you count the spending safari update!) I also tried it with my co-workers iphone and I get a similar response. Itunes lags for a moment, and then the error pops up. Both devices acknowledge that they are connected to USB and start charging.
I plugged my ipod touch into a family member's mac and itunes recognizes it there. Please help me out?

Did you also reinstall Apple Mobile Device Service? See this article how to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

Ipod touch charges but Macbook does not recognize

I have had my Ipod touch for about one year but have not hooked it up to the computer for awhile now. I went to sync it to itunes today and it would not do anything. I am using the latest version of Itunes, my firewire cable and port is working fine as the Ipod charges when it is hooked up. I really don't know what else to try. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Yeah I was using the old firewire cable that came with my old 2nd generation Ipod. Unfortunately I lost the USB cable it came with, guess I'll have to buy a new one. Thanks for the help though.

Music is on my iPod touch 1G but does not show up in the Music App

Been having this problem the last week. I synced my iPod before I went to bed, grabbed it and headed off to work on Tuesday. Once I got to work I went to use my iPod and when I opened the Music App a screen popped up saying "Updating Library...This may take a few minutes". I didn't think much about that as I have seen it a number of times after I synced quite a bit of new music or podcasts(the night before I had 3 new hour long podcasts that synced).
Set my iPod to the side as that usually does take a minute, turned back and the screen said "No Content" and then some line about buying music in iTunes. I was quite surprised as I had never seen this screen before. I turned my iPod off and back on and the same No Content message.
I checked my Photos App and those were still there and so were all my saved photos that don't sync. Checked some of my other apps and the settings and saved data was all there too.
Finally got the idea to check the About option in the Settings. Knowing that it would list how many songs and how much space was free. Opened that up and it said 0 songs but that I only had 1.4GBs of free space. Which tells me that my music is on the iPod but just isn't being recognized.
Got home that night and synced it and once done I checked it and my music was there. Friday this all happened again and I have not been able to get my music to show up again even though my iPod tells that I have 12GBs of something on there going by what the About page tells me.
The only change I have made is I finally updated from just Itunes 10.0.X to 10.1.4 on 12/20 of last year. I have a iPod touch 1G that is running 3.1.3.
Last night I did a restore and created a whole new iPod but the same issue has happened. I watched it sync my ~2800 songs but when I went to check them, No Content but the About page tells me there is 12GBs of space being used. Right now I am going to a back from from June of last year to see if that works but I doubt it. I also have an old install of iTunes 10.0.1 that I think I might try.
What else could be the problem?

Which version of iTunes are you using?

IPod nano charges but is not recognized

Good morning.
Im writing this topic, because I saw all the topics about this same problem, and none of them solved mine. I hope you can help me on this, so here is the thing:
When I connect my iPod to the 2.0 usb port, the ipod lights its screen, charges, but neither windows or iTunes recognizes it.
Ive tried going to:
1. Going to control painel
2. Double clicking System icon
3. Hardware < Manager of Dispositives < Universal USB thing
When Im there, I disabled the options at USB ROOT HUB on "Computer can turn it of dispositive to minimize waste of energy", as I have read on the other article to do, but it didnt help.
Here is something that Ive tried everything to understand, but I cant: In the same place (Hardware - System - Control Painel), when the iPod is connected at the computer, my ipod appears on that list! But it comes with an Exclamation Point right next to its name, and it says that it needs an software to make it useful.
The real message is:
The drivers for this dispositive are not installed.(Code 28)
To reinstall the drivers of this dispositive, click at 'Reinstall Driver'.
Doesnt iTunes install it or whatever? What can I do to get my iPod recognized by the iTunes and computer, and then sync my songs?
Please, I need someone's help!
Thanks a lot,
Andre.
Ps:. 1. iPod nano, 1st generation, 2gb.
2. Windows XP.
iPod nano 1st generation 2gb Windows XP

Did you ever find a solution for your problem. It is exactly the same as mine and I'm so frustrated with all the problems after spending so much money for something that is supposed to be fun.
I too have done everything suggested and still no answer. My computer will not install the driver or recognize the ipod exists.
If you did find an answer, please email me with anything you think may help.
Thanks

New ipod touch charges but doesnt display how much it has charged

I recently got a new ipod touch and it charges fine and everything, but when i switch it off and charge it it doesnt display how much it has charged (Although it does charge it) and sometimes if my ipod is switched off and i plug it into charge it swtiches it self on. Can anyone tell me if when it is switched off it is ment to display how much it has charged. Thanks

Just to make sure that I understood your last question, here's what the ipod is supposed to do:
If the ipod is switched completely off, it will not display anything, no matter if you push the home of sleep button. If you hold the sleep wake button for a longer time, the device will power up again, the same thing will happen if you plug in your switched off ipod into your charger or connect it to your computer via USB cable.
So, if switched off, the ipod can not display anything, not even a status bar for it's battery.

My iPhone was at 63% then suddenly died, it say its charging but still not turn on, what do I do??

I have tried everything and cannot get it to turn on, it comes up with the red battery icon saying its charging. But still nothing! Help!!

Do not attempt to force it to start after it has shutdown due to low charge. Fully charge before using it again. If it will not charge, try a different outlet, a different charger and cable, and if it still does not charge, take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the technicians.

I am trying to put a C.D. into my library so I can put it onto my Ipod touch. But its not working???

Right, so i am tring to import cds so i can put them on my ipod, but the thing is, once i import the songs i cannot even put them into my library or straight to my ipod. I have used this method before and dont understand why it is no longer working. Help please.
