ITunes doesn't see my iPod video 30 gb! Please help me!

When i connect by usb 2.0 my iPod, the pc see the iPod as an external drive and It seems to be empty, while iTunes says that there isn't any iPod connected. The latest iPod software is installed. Opening the iPod while it isn't connected to the pc, there isn't any file but in the settings is written that almost 10 gb are full and 20 gb are free: this should be ok because before that these problems appeared that was the memory used. Of course I can't update the iPod or reset it to default because the iPod updater doesn't see any iPod connected to the pc while it is really connected... Well, windows sees my iPod while iTunes doesn't see it so i can't make any operation on the iPod and when it isn't connected to the pc i can't listen to the music... Please sombody help me!

  • Itunes doesn't see my Ipod video

    I downloaded the new Itunes 7.0.2 because I bought the new 30gb video Ipod. Its the second day I spend in trying to connect Itunes with Ipod. It is working as harddisk but Itunes says that I have to reinstall Itunes in order to make the connection. I did it, I restored the Ipod, I started windows with the selective start escluding every program that may cause conflict, I've done ALL the tips provided by Apple in the website.
    Now I really don't now what else I can do except throw my fu* Ipod from the window... PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

  • ITunes doesn't "see" my iPod Touch but Windows 7 does. What can I do?

    Windows 7 using "MTP USB Device" driver so it recognizes that it's an Apple iPod but iTunes doesn't see it. I have spent the entire day following the "install/ininstall/start AMDS/stop AMDS" instructions ad nauseum...still no love. Frustration maxed out!

    Did you try here:

    Did you do this:

  • ITunes doesn't see new iPod nano and creates 'iPod' folders on the Desktop

    My mom got a new 5th Gen Nano. When it is connected to my parents' iMac (G5 with built in iSight running Leopard), iTunes doesn't see it. The strange thing is that the iPod itself goes through the normal synching procedures about every 30 seconds, and every time it happens, it creates a new 'iPod' folder on the desktop. The really strange thing is that each folder is actually a mounted volume that cannot be ejected and the only way to remove them is to reboot the system. Right now, there are 11 of those folders on the desktop (I am connected via screen sharing in iChat.
    Any idea what to do about this one?

    So, I found out how to fix this issue. In "My Computer" right click on the iPod and format it. I chose to format it using FAT and Default allocation size. After that, I opened iTunes and it recognized my iPod Shuffle. It said it wasn't formatted properly but gave me the option to restore it to factory defaults which fixed everything. Way to go Self. Thank you. You're Welcome

  • 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.

  • Itunes doesn't see my ipod shuffle and I want to reset it to factory default

  • Itunes doesn't see my ipod

    I've recently built a new computer, and ever since, I can't get itunes to see my iPod. I've uninstalled and re-installed itunes, and my drivers twice now, and no luck.
    Anyone else experience this problem. How do I remedy it?
    phread

    I experienced the same thing and gave up. Perhaps, because I used an older USB swich.
    But since I know I was going to buy a new PC - I held off until i got a new machine. Now I am disappointed since ipod/itunes won't work seemlessly with vista - that is from Apple's own statement. I am advising all my friends and people who consult me to hold off with ipod. And even recommended to buy other mp3 players instead until apple gets its act together. I was expecting apple developer to be on top of Vista and be the very first to have seemless interface being always on the cutting edge and all. There really is no excuse since Vista has been released way ahead of time for businesses. I am quite disappointed. Apple is being a bit petty and arrogant to tell users to hold off Getting Vista.
    GOOD luck on your ipod. Try uninstalling ipod first, then update your USB to 2.0 (hubs and all)- then reinstall ipod with itunes.
    This seems to be your issue as it is close to mine. Sorry about the venting.

  • IPod Video anomaly - please help if you can

    Hey, anyone else have this problem? -
    I have a 30GB iPod video, brand new. During the most recent/its first software update, iTunes froze. I gave it a cautious 10 minutes to see if it would work out, but I eventually had to close iTunes in the task manager. I did a WinXP 'safe disconnect' for the iPod, which I figured was my best option. Anyway, the screen was frozen on the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen - a problem which, after trolling the boards, a lot of people have when disconnecting.
    So I did a soft reset, then tried again. Gave it even more time, and it finished updating -- that status bar likes to freeze for a long time, at least on my computer.
    My problem is this: since then, the iPod display freezes constantly when it's disconnected and I'm using the navigation - usually within 30 seconds of me turning it on. The backlight will stick on, the screen will get slightly skewed, and a couple small, patch-like color bars pop up around the screen. It still clicks like I'm navigating, but the screen's frozen. The only way to get it back is a soft reset, but it will often repeat the performance after it's done that.
    Freezing seemed to coincide with the backlight timer, so I changed that setting to 10 seconds, and it froze after 2 seconds of inactivity anyway.
    This iPod is only a month old, it's never been dropped or gotten wet or anything. And aside from that iTunes freeze, I've never pulled the plug on it. I've tried everything on Apple's Support page, but it hasn't helped.
    This happens 4 out of 5 times I navigate on the iPod. Is something fried/do I need to send it in? Or is there something I haven't tried?
    Thanks to anyone who reads, double to anyone who replies. Cheers

    Hey, thanks for the reply. I've restored twice already and it hasn't helped... but I don't have those four options when I select 'Restore.'
    However, noticing that difference prompted me to (I can't believe I didn't double-check this earlier) check my version, and I'm still running 7.0.0.70. I can't imagine how that could be causing the problem, but i'm going to install the newest version and then do another restore. I'll post the results.
    Thanks for the advice though

  • ITunes doesn't accept my iPod touch anymore. Help?

    I am not sure if this is an iTunes problem, an iPod touch problem, or a combination of the two. Everytime I plug in my iPod touch, I have to restore it to factory settings, and then repurchase anything I bought on the iPod before I plugged it in. This is the third time in a row that this problem has happened, and I am getting frustrated. Help?

    Have you tried here:

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    What are you using to create the video? You might want to look at QuickTime - Creating Video for iPod, Exporting iMovie HD to iPod, and Syncing Videos to Your iPod.

  • Updated to Itunes 7.0.1, doesn't see my ipod via USB1.1!!

    Hi
    My itunes/ipod were running fine under USB 1.1 (older computer) until I updated to 7.0.1 - now itunes doesn't see my ipod!! The iPod shows up in device manager, though, and my machine even mapped a drive to it when iTunes timed out (I removed that).
    Everything was fine until I updated. sigh.
    I found an Apple page that said they don't "support' USB 1.1 - could it be that iTunes 7.0.1 just doesn't?
    thanks in advance for any help!
    Brian

    yup same here
    its a crapshoot, sometimes it happens other times it does not
    only way round this i found is to do this:
    reboot windows
    and reboot iphone
    eventually they will see each other.
    what causes it? poorly coded itunes for windows, who knows.
    but its something i've had for many versions now, 9.2.1 is nothing new. but it does seem to happen more now.

  • Frozen in "Do Not Disconnect" iTunes doesn't see iPod

    I have never had one bit of trouble with my iPod until today. I plugged it in, the Do Not Disconnect comes up, the clock is frozen, no charging happening and iTunes doesn't see the iPod. I tried the "restart" and nothing is working. What do I do?
    I haven't upgraded to iTunes 8.1 yet, would that help?
    HELP!

    OK, so I tried the Reset again. Still didn't work. THEN I saw this:
    Tip:
    +If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.+
    Tried it again and now it's all better.

  • ITunes doesn't see iPods

    starting last nite my iTunes doesn't see either iPod that always appeared when plugged in. I changed my connecting wire without any better results.

    Bentley, try downloading and re-installing iTunes. I had a similar problem on my Macbook - I could see my iPod in the Finder but iTunes couldn't see it. I re-installed iTunes and voila, it was there.
