IPod Touch or iPod Nano not showing in the Finder

Even though appearing OK in iTunes, they do not appear as drives in the Finder like CD's and DVD's.
What is the problem?

You need to enable disk use for the iPod nano. The iPod touch doesn't provide Finder access.

  • My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails.  I have to open each one to see what photo it is.  This has just recently started to happen.

    I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked.  This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
    Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

  • 6th Gen ipod nano not showing up at all.

    I recently bought an ipod nano 6th gen off Amazon and it turned on and is function fine, but I can't sync it with my current library. I'm using the same cord I use on my ipod touch so I assume it's fine there, I've just updated my itunes library and I've already searched through device manager, My computer and itunes to find the device, but it's not showing up anywhere. Any help please?

    Me neither.  I know the USB cable works okay with your iPod Touch, but can you try another cable just to see if that makes a difference?
    Also look at the Nano's dock connector to make sure it is clean and clear of debris or damage.
    And if nothing else, return it while you still can for a refund or replacement.

    I have a simelar problem. My wife had an ipod mini which was synced to itunes, I brought her a 4GB ipod nano yesterday and I told her just plug it into the computer and then it will have auto instructions.
    Actually what happens is nothing, I plug it in and it charges, nothing else. I have uninstalled itunes and downloaded it again but it still has my mums ipod mini songs on there.
    basically the ipod does not seem to sync with itunes...any help will be appriciated.

  • 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?

    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 Nano not showing movie artwork in list view.

    h title says it all. If you look at the photo over here, you see the videos icons are not displayed at the bottom of the screen in list view. Normally artworks will scroll from right to left gradually if artworks are present.
    These are my own videos (no bought from itunes), and they all have artworks. These artworks shows up in itunes but not in my ipod.
    Anyone knows how to get the icon showing in ipod nano?

    Connect your iPod to the computer and when the summary comes up click on the restore button and see if that works.

  • Ipod nano not showing up in itunes and getting message about problem with this drive, ipod nano not showing up in itunes and getting message about problem with this drive

    My ipod nano has been working fine for at least three years.  All of a sudden I get two messages.  First, "there is a problem with this drive, scan and fix it".
    And, an Ipod has been detected but can't be identified properly.  It's a 6th generation nano and I have Windows 8.  Any thoughts?

  • Ipod nano not showing in itunes

    Have installed iPod nano 4GB on Winxp pro service pack2 usb2.0. first install was with original cd. failed. tried all suggested remedies on apples site. failed
    downloaded fresh updates which were the same versions. installed and failed
    iPod shows in my computer and also as a running process but fails to show in
    iTunes or to auto start iTunes. have also tried both front and rear usb ports, the 6 second hold routine , and singing God save the Queen....but to no avail.
    are there any known conflicts with programs....have tried suspending AVG durring install. This is a brand new iPod. All ideas welcomed thankfully. also ran tests in diagnostic mode and had a fail on wheeltest...spinwheel. Is this a critical factor?

    I think the problem is the ipod updater software. I had the same problem when i applied the updater to 3 brand new nanos. I found a discussion thread which suggests that you format the ipod drive, which seemed to work. Basically you need to right-click on the ipod drive in your windows explorer folder view and select format. You may need to disconnect and reconnect your ipod to get this to work but once it has been formatted your i-tunes should recognise your nano.
    Hope it works!

  • Ipod does not show all the songs...

    Hi, I bought a new Ipod G5, I put the songs in the iPod but some artists when you select it, it just go directly to one of their albums without showing any other songs, and when i plug it on the computer, iTunes shows all that all the songs are in there, but the iPod it just not showing them, what's going on?

    Hi i found that if you go into the ipod options in itunes (Ipod must be connected), click on the advanced tabthere is a box you can check that says "keep itunes music organized"
    i checked this the updated my ipod all 60011 song show under artist now without having to put an album in every song-which by the way is waaaaaay annoying when you have over 3000 songs without an album. hope this works for you

  • Ipod Nano not showing in my computer or iTunes - have done everything?

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition on a Dell Inspiron 8500. I have done and checked everything including running Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and reinstalling iTunes 8; resetting ipod which works fine; checking IEEE 1394 card. One thing that doesn't show is in Device Manager/UBS Controllers it doesn't show it connected not even as a mass storage device. I have worked on this stupid thing all day and now it's 11:30 pm and still not working. It seems like there are a lot of people with the same problem. Someone please help. I don't know what to do next.
    I also have a ipod shuffle and it doesn't see it either; however, it does see it and work under Windows Media Player, but the Nano doesn't work there either.
    HELP PLEASE

    To reset iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector)
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons simultaneously until the Apple/iPod logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
    If you are still unable to reset your iPod, use only one finger from one hand to press the Center (Select) button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Menu button.
    When you reset iPod all your music and files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost. Date and time is preserved (unless the iPod reset itself because it had no power and then was reconnected to power). Other customized settings, such as Bookmarks, On-The-Go Playlists, Shuffle, Backlight timer, and so forth are preserved from the last time the hard drive turned on.

  • Ipod nano not showing in windows or iTunes

    I've just purchased a new 7th. gen Nano. I have a windows 7  laptop with iTunes 11.1.5.5 that is working fine with an ipod clasic.
    When I plug the nano in it doesn't show up in itunes or windows file manager. The only place I can see it is under Device Manager where it appears under other devices with no driver installed. If I try to install a driver it fails saying "Windows found a driver software for your device but encountered an error attempting to install it, USB MAss Storage Device.Access is Denied'
    Any ideas anyone please????

  • Ipod nano not showing up in ITunes 9.2.1.5 on Windows XP

I have tried all the suggestions for "iPod appears in Windows but not iTunes" article and I still cannot get her ipod to show up in iTunes. The computer I'm trying to get the ipod to work on is a desktop computer running Windows XP. I tried my mom's ipod on my laptop computer thinking maybe it was a problem with the ipod or the cable. It worked just fine. I have Windows 7 running an identical version of iTunes. I'm a grad student and I'm just home for the summer. I need solve this problem and fix my mom's ipod so it will work on her own computer while I'm away. Is there anything else I can do to get her iPod to show up in iTunes?
