Is it iTunes? Or my Computer?

Just today, iTunes isn't seeing that my iPod is plugged in. But when i do plug it in, it's charging. So no syncing is happening. What's going on? Please please please help!

Here's an entire sequence of steps to try. Obviously, if the early steps don't make your iPod visible, you won't be able to complete the remainder. Post back with results.

  • How do I move ITunes from one computer to another

    I am trying to move my ITunes from one computer to another. I downloaded ITunes on my new computer and loged in with my account information. Then I pluged my IPod into the comuter and imported all my songs. I thought that everything would come over but none of my apps did. I want to synce my IPod up with my new computer how do I do it?

    Backup everything to an external hard drive with this User Tip.
    Use the same process to clone the library into a new empty iTunes folder on the new computer.
    Deauthorise the old box if you don't need to access protected content on it any more.
    Use SyncToy from time to time, and in particular before every iTunes update, to keep the backup up-to-date.

  • My iPod touch isn't being recognized by iTunes but my computer recognized it.

    It recognized before but isn't working now. I tried all the troubleshooting and nothing is helping. What can I do?
    My iPod is an iPod touch 5th gen and I have the latest version of iTunes on my computer. Help me please!

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

    Perfect, thanks.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

    I have synced my iPhone numerous times and some of the memos in "Voice Memos" on my iPhone wont go over to my iTunes program on my computer. I have a folder titled "Voice Memos" on my iPhone and one of the same name on iTunes on my computer. But after I sync I only get 6 out of the 9 voice memos on my iPhone.
    How do I get the rest (or all) of the memos from my iPhone copied to my computer?

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show the artists, but some do not show up on my iPad or iPhone?

    My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show all the artists, but most artists do not show up in Music on my iPad or iPhone? I recently fixed the song titles coming back from Match update changed to Track ** by going thru every song's info (command i) and typing in the song title manually (fortunately I had a hard copy of all my song titles and artists and only had about 160 songs to do) and that fixed the problem. Now, both the song titles and artists show in my iTunes, but NOT on my ipad and iphone Music (There are a few that show up). I tried to test my "re-typing artists" into info manually on a few, but it didn't work. I also tried adding "Single" or "None" to the albumn title, but no go. Any suggestions?

I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

  • HT1933 Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

    Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

    Hello Amy,
    You can but the method varies depending on the Apple TV that you have.
    From the article How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390:
    To rent movies from the iTunes Store on your computer
    In iTunes on your computer, click iTunes Store.
    In the iTunes Store, find a movie you want to rent.
    Click Rent. Your rental should begin to download immediately.
    Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
    Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Movies button.
    Select the movie, and then click Move.
    After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
    You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
    If you have Apple TV 2nd gen. or later you can use Airplay to play it on your tv through the Apple TV.
    Here is the article to help get that setup and going.
