ITunes 6.0.4 not recognizing most current incarnation of iTunes Music

The contents of my iPod (which is currently unconnected for safety's sake) appears to be reflected in the Music>iTunes>iTunes Music folder. iTunes 6.0.4 seems to be loading an older Library.
Is there a way to re-import this music without needing to either back it up or create a duplicate on the hard drive (or a removable drive)?
I have also thought of simply recovering from iPod, but would need to free up the same amount of space taken by the contents of the iTunes Music folder.
Thanks for any help!

From the Keyboard Shortcuts in the iTunes Help menu:
iPod shortcuts
Prevent iPod from automatically updating when you connect it to your computer
Command-Option as you connect the iPod to your computer (hold the keys down until the iPod appears in the iTunes Source list)
After that you can use Senuti or iPodRip (latest versions on versiontracker.com) to transfer songs and/or playlists back to the iTunes Library.
Hope this helps.

  • My phone is not showing up in itunes.  I want to sync it.  I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes.  What do I do now?  It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac.  Help!

    With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up.  If not, you are having a sync problem.  If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

  • Ipod nano and shuffle are not recognized by my computer or itunes

    When I plug in the ipod, both the nano 6th generation and the shuffle, the device is not recognized by my computer or itunes.  It will be recognized by my computer for a few seconds and then disappears.  The device will show up on the right side of the screen in itunes but not on the left.  The troubleshooter tells me it is a compatability issue.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, i have turned off the compatabilty mode, nothing works.

    What displays on the iPods screen when you have it connected?  I assume you have tried another known working USB cable?
    Is iTunes up do date on your PC (currently at 10.7)?
    Have you tried connecting to another PC or Mac?

  • IPhone 4s not recognized by MacBook Pro nor iTunes

    I am currently running iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4s and OS X 10.9.4 on my MacBook Pro Retina Late 2012. I recently reformatted my computer by means of a bootable OSX installer and I did a completely clean install. For some reason, my iPhone is able to charge, but not recognized by my computer nor iTunes at all. Nothing comes up.
    I have followed the directions in the following:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US
    and
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24169239#24169239#24169239
    Neither solution seems to be working. I have done the following:
    reinstalled my iTunes multiple times
    reset my networking on my iPhone a few times
    restarted my computer
    updated all my software
    checked to make sure USB cables work
    tried multiple iPhone charging cables
    I'd greatly appreciate some guidance in regards to this. Thanks!

    When you say a bootable OS X installer where did you get the installer?  Is it one you created yourself?
    You might want to try restarting the MacBook Air holding the Command and R keys.  From Utilities on the menu bar, choose Install Mac OS X.  That will reinstall using an installer from Apple.  Install and see if that changes the behavior.
    I did the following from this website:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html
    Option 1: Use createinstallmedia
    Hidden inside the Mavericks installer is a Unix program calledcreateinstallmedia, provided by Apple for creating a bootable Mavericks installer. If you’re comfortable using Terminal, it’s a relatively simple tool to use. The program assumes your account has administrator privileges.
    Note: This method does not work in Snow Leopard. It works only in Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks. (The resulting installer drive will let you install Mavericks over Snow Leopard, but you can’t create the installer drive while booted into Snow Leopard.) If you need to create a Mavericks install drive while booted into Snow Leopard, you should use the Disk Utility instructions, below.
    Download the Mavericks installer from the Mac App Store and make sure it’s in your main Applications folder. (This means that if you followed my advice to move the installer out of your Applications folder, you’ll have to move it back, at least temporarily. The Terminal command I’m using here assumes the installer is in its default location.)
    Connect to your Mac a properly formatted 8GB (or larger) drive. Rename the drive to Untitled. (The Terminal command used here assumes the drive is named Untitled.)
    Select the text of this Terminal command and copy it:sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities).
    Paste the copied command into Terminal and press Return. Warning: This step will erase the destination drive or partition, so make sure it doesn’t contain any valuable data.
    Enter your admin-level account password when prompted.
    The Terminal window displays the progress of the process, in a very Terminal sort of way, by displaying a textual representation of a progress bar: Erasing Disk: 0%... 10%...20%... and so on. The program then tells you it’s copying the installer files, making the disk bootable, and copying boot files. Wait until you see the text Copy Complete. Done. (see the screenshot below), which could take as long as 20 or 30 minutes, depending on how fast your Mac can copy data to your destination drive.
    You now have a bootable Mavericks-install drive.

  • HT1923 i have installed the updated itunes but it is not recognizing my devices can anyone help

    i have installed updated version of itunes but it is not recognizing my devices can anyone help

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • TS1538 My ipod touch still not recognized by my computer or itunes

    I just bought a brand new Ipod Touch. I plugged it in to my computer and my computer will not recognize it but other things are recognized by the device manager. I installed and reinstalled the newest version of Itunes and it isn't recognized by my computer or Itunes. I checked the USB cables, restarted the computer, restarted the Ipod and did everything in the article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and it still can't be recognized!! What should I do now?!

  • My iPod classic is not recognized by my computer or iTunes

    My iPod is not recognized by my computer or iTunes. It worked fine a few months ago but now it doesn't even sync. I tried everything from turning it on/off, reinstalling iTunes, checking the connectivity issues and etc. After going through the connectivity test the only thing I found odd was that it said that the iPod classic running firmware 1.1.2 is not connected. Could that be the issue? And if so, how can I get that firmware running again?

    I have the same issue with my ipod classic, and have gone through these steps. However, when i come to the step where it says to reinstall: "
    Next, open the new version of iTunes and connect your iPod to your computer.
    Select your iPod in the source list and click "Check for Update" under the Summary tab.   iTunes will check to see if your iPod needs to be updated and perform the update for you. "
    there is no ipod listed in the source list to check for any updates under the summary tab. Itunes just DOES NOT see the ipod at all. And this is where I am stuck....further instructions PLEASE!!! Thank you....

  • My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?

    My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?
    Model iPod 2 Touch, 8G, It stoped working less than a month after it was purchased but I never sent it back for repairs or warranty to Apple.. Is there still a way to repair it on my own. It just simply does not turn on or charge and it is not recognized by iTunes when I plug it in to my MacBook Pro.
    Please advise...

    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 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. The appointment is free.
