  • The finder on my mac won't recognize my iPod

    I have a MacBook Pro from mid 2011, I believe, and when I plug my 4th gen iPod touch it won't recognize it in finder. It comes up in itunes fine and I checked the finder preferences, iPods should show up.  This is my first mac; I'm used to Windows. Am I doing something completely wrong? I just want to get my pictures off my iPod.  You do that with finder right?  Thanks for the help!

    Unlike Windows, my iPod only shows in Itunes, not Finder. You are in a sense locked out of navigating files on iPod (iPhone, iPad) as well as being able to copy etc.

  • My Mac won't recognize my iPod shuffle 2nd generation

    My Windows recognizes my iPod with no problem. But, whenever I plug my iPod into my Mac, nothing happens. I've tried resetting it, restoring it, I've restarted the computer and iPod, I've installed programs that may help the Mac recognize the iPod... and still nothing happens. I've read online that it could be useful for me to reformat the iPod from Windows to Mac but I have to do this through restoring it, which doesn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I don't know what else to do... does anyone know how to fix this?

    At this point I'm not really sure what exactly was the cause of the error (and I suspect neither the Apple staff knows), but I can definitely confirm that the solution I've tried works. The idea is to basically be able to plug the iPod Shuffle 2G without opening iTunes, and then reformat completely the iPod from scratch using the Disc Utility tool. The only way (or at least one way) to do that is to launch the Mac in safe mode. These are the steps I followed, taken from user JWA:
    "+I fully charged my iPod 2nd Gen with portable charger. Then connected to my shut down Mac.+
    +Booted into into safe mode (hold down the shift key on startup). This will not allow iTunes to start with the iPod is connected. My iPod did not show in the finder, this I think is a good thing. I started "Disc Utility" and erased my iPod.+"
    "+I restarted my Mac, iTunes started up and suggested I restore my iPod, when I clicked Restore the finder then didn't like the format and I ignored that dialog box. To my delight, the next box wanted me to name my iPod and I started with a fresh iPod and all is well. I hope this helps!+"
    Like I said, I'm not sure if the issue is actually with the MS-DOS FAT32 format or something else, but reformatting the iPod seems to fix the problem. Just make sure that when you launch the Disc Utility tool in safe mode, that the iPod shows up as one of the drives. If not, remove it and put it back in the dock. It should show up as a drive. Then you can erase it.
    Good luck!

  • I updated to ios6 and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod.  I have done all the roubleshooting suggested but still no go.

    Ever since the ios6 update, my iPod is unresponsive and iTunes doesn't recognize the device.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and stillno change.  I have followed all the recommended steps from the apple support page.  Any suggestions?

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HELP!! itunes doesn't recognize my ipod touch and i've tried everything!!!

    Alright, so i got an ipod touch this morning and came home to put music on it. first things first, it read it as a camera. i downloaded the new version of itunes and that seemed to take care of that problem. I tried everything on the apple website to try and fix the problem but it just won't read it. It works fine on my mom's computer but all my music is on this computer. what can i do??

    Ok people after messing up three days with my jailbroken ipod touch cauze my itunes didn't recognize it i figured out that the problem is first windows recognized it as a imaging device o as a camera, i found in the device manager was listed mi apple ipod under portable devices and there was the problem it has to be listed under universal serial bus controllers named as a apple ipod so this is what i did but first make sure u have correctly installed itunes and the apple mobile device support:
    1 open the device manager or windows button + r is run and then type devmgmt.msc
    2 look for the portable devices and find the apple ipod or wherever that is listed on your pc.
    3 once u find the apple ipod do a right click on it and click on uptade driver software
    4 take the manualy opcion or browse on my computer and then look for this folder on your computer C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    there should be the driver that itunes recognize and your windows wont recognize your ipod as a camera again but i repeat u have to make sure u have installed the apple mobile device support u can get it by extracting the itunes+quicktime package using winrar. so click on update or next what ever on the update process and next time itunes will open your ipod for sincying thanks to forums ilounge.com

  • My mac won't recognize my ipod

    I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find a post that specifically pertains to my situation. My 4g 20gig iPod works just fine, it plays all my music and I'm not getting any weird icons or anything, but when I plug it into my computer nothing happens. It doesn't come up in iTunes, it doesn't come up as another source in the finder, and I can't see it in the disc utility. I tried resetting it, reinstalling iTunes, plugging it into my dad's Mac Mini and have had no success. (The apple website says to restore it, but I can't restore it without my computer seeing it first, so that seems useless.)
    My dad has a 4g 40gig iPod that is working just fine and is recognized by both computers, so I guess the problem is with my iPod.

    Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

  • Itunes won't recognize my ipod nano, and my computer is only recognizing it as a storage device. How do I fix this? I want to add music...

  • Plugin check says that Java 1.6.0_29 is vulnerable and should bl updated on Mac when 1.6.0_29 is current and is already on the machine. Glitch?

    RMI Registry Issue
    A bug in the rmiregistry command included in this release may cause unintended exceptions to be thrown when an RMI server attempts to bind an exported object which includes codebase annotations using the "file:" URL scheme. The RMI servers most likely to be effected are those which are invoked only by RMI clients executing on the same host as the server.
    RMI annotates codebase information as part of the serialized state of a remote object reference to assist RMI clients in loading the required classes and interfaces associated with the object at runtime. Exported objects which are looked up in the RMI registry and invoked by RMI clients running on hosts other than the server are usually annotated with codebase URL schemes, such as "http:" or "ftp:" and these should continue to work correctly.
    As a workaround, RMI servers can set the java.rmi.server.codebase property to use codebase URLs other than the "file:" scheme for the objects they export.

  • After transferring music to new Mac, Mac won't recognize iPod

    I just recently transferred my music from a PC to a new Powerbook G4 using my iPod in disk mode. I erased everything on my iPod, then loaded it with music in disc mode to put on my new computer. But now, I need to erase the stuff on there in disc mode so I can put it back in the normal mode.
    Just when I thought I was figuring it out, my Mac won't recognize my iPod. Do I need to reformat it for a Mac since I was using it with a PC? Be gentle, I'm new to Macs and don't know the lingo or my way around very well yet.

    Exactly what steps did you follow?
    1. what do I do with original iTunes folder?
    It's on your old computer.
    What do you want to do with it?
    2. how do I get iTunes to read/ingest playlist and songs?
    If you copied the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer then you simply need to open iTunes.
    Since it is the exact same library, everything will be there as it was on old computer.

  • Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

  • New version itunes (Dec 2012) won't recognize my ipod touch.

    Since installing new itunes on computer, the program won't recognize my ipod.  It does recognize my daughter's iphone.  I've gone through several troubleshooting lists, restarting devices and doing everything recommended.  I did a tutorial to help me recognize the new features and the one that's supposed to be there for my device just isn't.
    Help?

    I've had the same problem. Go in and unplug all devices.Go to Control panel> Uninstall programs> Uninstall all programs accotiated with Mac ****If you are Windows**** (Itunes,Itunes update,Ipod touble shoot). Just go into list a separt by Developer and click on each and uninstall each by apple/ Macintosh, what ever yours says. Restart Download the newest version of itunes then. It should work.
    P.S. Where are you from? ( What state?)
