ITunes does not see my iPod Video 60gb

I just recently bought a Powermac G4 AGP off eBay and installed Panther on it. I re-initialized my iPod for Mac format on my wifes iBook (the G4 said I needed to use firewire to do it, even though the iPod doesn't support firewire). I used the latest iPod updater, downloaded today and installed the latest iTunes revision. Anyway, Plugging the iPod into my G4 shows the iPod on the desktop but doesn't auto-launch iTunes. When I launch iTunes, the iPod doesn't show up in the list. It seems it's in disk mode since I can double-click it's icon on the desktop and see the Calenders and Contacts folder, etc. Anyone know why iTunes won't see it? Thanks.

I would start by reading the iPod 5 Rs and see if what is suggested there helps.

    My story:I just got a new ipod video 60 gb a few days ago. i installed everything and it was up to date. I have a pc with windows xp home edition. when i pluged it in all it did was make a sound like it reconized it. I spent hours uninstalling and reinstalling the updater and itunes. My sister had a ipod mini which worked still. I took it back to the store and it was fine on the macs there. The guy restored it but when i got home it still didnt work. I then had to got to N.Y. the next day. I kept tring and still nothing. I went down to soho and all they did there was what i already did. They told me to reinstall windows. two days later two of my uncles came and they didnt know how to fix it. but one of y uncles noticed that when you go to control panel and system and then hardwear and then device manager there was an ipod with an extension of a ipod in yellow with a ? mark. My uncle said that its the driver which is bad. They couldnt help me anymore. The next day i was like okay im going to figue this out. I unistalled everything including itune quick time and updater. Then i reinstalled it. Still nothing. But when you plug it in the first time it pops up with a new device and stuff like that and it pops up a page saying to install new device select where you want to install it from either a list or your computer. I then selected from my own location or the second option. i looked for the driver all trhough my c drive, under programfiles, derivers nothing. i then was angry and was like whatever i might as well try i386 cause i know theres a lot of stuff in there. it went to the page with the magnafying glass and then it start to load or install a mass storage device. then it said i need the service pack 2 disk which i did not have cause my computer came with it. i then searched the web for where it was located but nothing. i then saw it said i need usbstor.sys driver so i then searched the web and nothing. i then thought i should search the computer with the search on the start menu. i seared for usbstor.sys and a few folders poped up. i then located where it was and browsed to the fold where it ask me if i need service pack 2 disk and clicked ok it did some more installing and then the ipod said do not disconnect. i was so happy. but itunes didnot reconize but my computer did. i then restored it and then restarted my computer. it then took a few seconds to reconize it in itunes but then it work!! i was syked.

    itunes does not see any of my devices.  It used to. But not any more. Why. They show up in Windows. But not itunes.

  • Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes.  iTunes does not "see" the devise.  Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.  Also bought new USB cable.  The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

    Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista).  iTunes does not "see" the device.  Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.  Also bought new USB cable.  The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.  Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

    OK.  You merely erased the content and settings.  The IOS is still there.
    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures.  From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

  • My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden

    Hello, My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden.  Today before I went running I downloaded some new podcasts to listen to.  I plugged in my iPod and for some reason iTunes could not recognize my iPod nano.  I run iTunes on Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro and have successfully synced my iPod before with this system.  I do not know why it doesn't work now.
    Per the instructions on Apple Help, I went through the troubleshoot steps (i.e., restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, updating iTunes, etc.).  When all that failed, I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but this still does not work.
    I cannot afford to purchase help through Apple, but I like running and I like listening to new stuff when I run.  Can someone please help me on this board?  I am pretty good with walking myself through simple computer steps.
    Thank you in advance!

    Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

  • Itunes does not recognize my Ipods

    I am running Windows Vista 64bit.  All of a sudden, my itunes does not recognize my Ipod touch or Ipod Nano.  As a matter of fact, I am not sure they ever connected since I installed 10.5.1.  I have tried to uninstall and install itunes like Apple suggests several times but I get the same result.  I have had the installation fail by not installing Apple Mobile Device Support so I somehow managed to install it eventually.  However, the result is the same.  Still not recognizing my IPODs.  The Ipods are recongized by Windows as I can see them in the Windows Explorer with no trouble.
    I tried to go back to 10.3.x and it did not work because it did not recognize something created from a newer version of itunes.  So although it looked like it installed, it never opened.
    How do you fix this?  Is there a way to install an older version of Itunes without loosing any data?

    I believe my problem is related to an incomplete uninstall of itunes.  I folled the directions in the Apple support pages but I have a feeling those directions are not complete.  I found this page on the interntet on how to completely remove itunes:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
    and I was wondering if anyone had used this or something similar.  Anyone know anything about this procedure?

  • ITunes does not see shuffle

    I purchased an iPod shuffle for my girlfriend. Loaded about 40 songs then repacked and gift wrapped it before giving it to her. She has iTunes on her computer and it is updated. When I hook up her iPod, iTunes indicates it is not authorized so I authorize the ipod but the icon does not appear so it seems that iTunes does not see the shuffle. Please advise.

    Shuffles are a bit different, they can only hook up to one PC

    I would restore it to factory settings using your PC, then see if her PC will recognize it.

  • After updating iTunes for window 8.1 iTunes does not recognize my ipod touch

    My laptop updated to iTunes version 11.1.4.  And now when i hook up my ipod or iphone, itunes does not see it. My laptop still sees both but now i cant download songs to either device. Any ideas anybody?

    Re: Upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and now it won't recognize my iPhone Sep 18, 2013 2:15 PM (in response to davidsh_seattle) I was able to fix it!  iTunes can now see my iPhone5.   I followed these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538   And re-installed the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver".   •     Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu. •     Click "Browse my computer for driver software." •     Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." •     Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.) •     In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button. •     Use this window to navigate to the following folder:  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. •     Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead). •     Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. •     Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.  this worked to sync my iphone 5. not i4 or i3 phones(now ipods) In Device Manager I also noticed I had 3 apple drivers under Portable devices.  I deleted two of them. I updated the remaining driver, now I can sync my i5, i4 and i3.  You may have to View hidden devices.
