Ipod wont sync and now wont even show up on itunes
I recently got the new iMac and tried to upload music onto my old ipod. when i plugged it into the USB drive i chose to "erase and sync"and it erased all of my music off of the ipod and then was unable to load anything. I then plugged the ipod back into the computer and it shows up in the finder but not itunes.
I have the latest version of itunes (9.2) and my itouch can download just fine.
my ipod is the classic 160 GB and it isn't that old (about 3 years). I'm not really sure what to do so if you could help me out that would be great! Thanks!
Hello bluebubbles4bees,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried resetting the iPod with it still connected to your Mac? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. Does that do any good?
If not, perhaps take a look at this Apple support document.

When I was updating my ipod touch 4g 8g 4.3.3 the USB came out and now it just shows connect to itunes and when i try to update it comes with error 6. I do all of the help things and nothing happoned
First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
Next try DFU mode and restore.

If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You are not alone with this problem. -

My iPod was stolen and now I can't access my iTunes account
My iPod was stolen and within half an hour my iTunes account was locked from an attempted hack.
I reset all the passwords and have since gotten a new iPod but anytime I try to login to my account everything freezes. I can access it online and on this forum, obviously, but my laptop running windows7 freezes instantly and my desktop computer running windows XP freezes as soon as I try to go to the store.
How do I fix this? It happens on both the computers I had authorized for that iPod and I'm not sure what to do.
Do I need to delete my account and start over? If so how would I do that? I've been told it is extremely difficult and usually results in the loss of use of iTunes on any computers you had authorized before.
At this point I don't even care about the money I'll lose on my old account I just want my music back.This won't get your old messages back but will help with new ones: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

IPhone4S: tried to update to iOS6 and now will only show "connect to iTunes" screen
I've got an iPhone4S and tried to update to iOS6 via iTunes. While installing, a message came up on my computer saying that "iOS6 could not be installed due to an unknown reason" (I'm paraphrasing b/c I didn't write it down, figuring that I could just re-do it). Ever since that message came up, neither iTunes or my computer recognizes that the phone is plugged in. Also the phone sceen is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen, which displays the USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo. I've done the 10 seconds reset, updated iTunes, etc., and everything else that the iPhone troubleshooting suggests. Nothing is working, and my phone is totally un-usable. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!
1)I tried tinyumbrella. But it stills stucks in Recorvery Loop.
2)Tried also using DFU mode buty tinyumbrella isn't detecting the device in DFU mode.
3)I also tried iRecovery and results are same.
4)Is there anyother way to break the recovery loop as i don't have any backup for my device. -
i just bought this off a friend.. so i need help. its not like i can take it in.
pleeeaaaaaaaasssee someone no what to do- Reboot the computer and then try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and restoring.
- Next try DFU mode.

Hello bsae14,
I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

I have an iPod 2nd Generation and it won't show up in iTunes
So I got a new laptop and I wante to transfer my music from my iPod onto it, so I plugged it in the new laptop. I accidentally clicked that it was okay for all of my music to be erased, which is not what I wanted to do.
Anyway, so I figured that I could just hook my iPod up to my old computer (which is a dinosaur and barely functioning) and get the music back onto my iPod. But it said to get all of it on there, I had to download the latest version of iTunes which I ha not done since probably 2008.
After I downloaded the newest version, i hooked my iPod into the comuter, and it began syncing. It had been on step one of the syncing proess all day (approx. 8 hours) and it wasnt moving, so I unhooked it, thinking something was wrong, and that I would try again.
Ever sice then, Windows would recognize that my iPod was plugged in and ask to transfer my pictures to Microsoft Word, but iTunes did not register that my iPod was plugged in..
HELP!!
thanksIt already restored on my new compuer, so now it's completely wiped.
But when I plug it into my old computer it's only registering when I put it into recovery mode, and then it won't let me recover it because of a network probem ot being secure, so it is telling me to try again later.
It says "The iPod software update server could not be contacted." -
it wont even show the symbol that its dead please help me
Connect it to a wall charger for at least 30 minutes. After that time, while it is still connected to the charger, Reset it by holding down the sleep and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the buttons. Might take a few tries.

My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?
I have my iTunes settings to prevent my iPod from synching automatically.
Open iTunes (without the iPod Touch connected) , go to "iTunes"--->"Preferences"--->"Devices", select the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from synching automatically", select "OK".
I would then close iTunes and then reopen it. Verify that the settings you just changed are intact.
Log into the iTunes store and update any Apps that you may have purchased.
Connect the iPod Touch via USB with iTunes open. You will see the icon on the left side under "Devices" as normal, however it will not automatically sync.
Click on the "Device" in iTunes and from there you can manually adjust all the items you want to sync and then select sync when you are ready.
I sync mine this way because I feel it gives me more control over the syncing process. Also, I always log into the iTunes store first, check for updates to my Apps and then connect the iPod to manually sync.
So, to me, I guess that perhaps is a way to "force" the sync but in a controlled manner.
I hope that helps. -
my ipod got disabled and it says to connect it to itunes but the computer i use got reset so it lost all the memory of itunes and i re downloaded it and it says it cant connect my ipod to itunes because i need to put the pass code in on the ipod but it wont let me because its disable some one help me out.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help
From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod. -
