  • HT201413 Why does iTunes not see my iPod when connected?

    My computer does not see my ipod when I connect it to it.  Nor does it come up in iTunes.  How can I sync my music with this problem going on?

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart your computer
    > Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iDevice Settings (will not delete everything)
    > Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your iDevice shows (should show as a digital camera)
    > Restore iDevice completely (will delete everything)
    > Make sure both iTunes and iOS firmware is Up-To-Date

  • Itunes Not Seeing My Ipod but Is Seen By My Computer

    First of all i have spent a good few hours looking at other peoples threads and i can see this seems to be a very common problem. I have a 30gig Video 5G ipod and it was originally installed on my laptop. The problem i have is i dont have much space on that laptop so i decided to move my ipod onto my pc. I have copied over all my itunes folder and its now installed and working on my pc.
    The problem is my ipod is not seen by itunes and therefore i cant do anything with it. I have tested it again on the laptop to determine its deffo a computer problem and it worked fine on there. Both Pc and Laptop are using the latest versions of itunes,
    I have tried the various methods that have been explained and still no joy. I have even restored my pc back to the orig installation date with no joy.
    I am hoping there is a solution as i dont want to have to re-install windows but its not looking like i have much choice.
    I bought this ipod of a colleague and he has had the ipod installed on more than one pc. Is it possible that the ipod has reached its limit of pc's it can be assigned too.
    I await your repsonse and thanks in advance

    There is an Apple article on trouble shooting this problem, have you tried it?

  • Why is itunes not seeing my iPod?

    I have followed the troubleshooting support page for starting and stopping services, deleting temp directories, cleaning the registry and etc. Followed each one, one at a time, and still here's what I have going on. My iPod is seen by Windows 7 (64bit) and it appears in my computer as an iPod. The first thing the iPod does is once it's connected to windows; windows says the device must be formatted in order to be used. I hit no, because the restore will do this anyway. I open itunes, and no device is listed. I tried (just to see if it would help) to go ahead and hit yes on the reformatting, and once I get to the disk formatting screen, I hit format disk, and it says "this device could not be formatted."
    I have used this iPod for a while, and a few months ago, I synced up... went to the gym, and my playlist and music was gone. Haven't got it working since.
    Any ideas?

    Update: left it on the usb port all night, itunes finally saw it. I did the restore, and when it restarts, itunes says the ipod is corrupted. Tells me to run the restore again and again. Any ideas on this one?

  • I do not see Nike iPod button in iTunes 11 when I connect my iPhone 4S

    I cannot sync my running data from iPhone 4S with Nikeplus.com. I use Nike+iPod application (I think it is part of iOS)
    iPhone is running iOS 6.0.1
    When I connect my iPhone to Mac, in iTunes 11 I do not see Nike+iPod tab or button or anything.. While all Help and supports documents tell me I should sse it.
    What did do wrong?
    Cheers,
    Vladimir

    If it's a digital copy (as opposed to an iTunes purchase) then I think that you only get one download of it (iTunes film purchases can be re-downloaded in some countries) - in which case, if you've downloaded it to your computer, then if you want a copy of it on the iPad as well, then you will need to sync it to the iPad by connecting it to your computer's iTunes i.e. you can't just download it again. If you just want to play it on the iPad then you can stream it to it via home sharing (so your computer and iPad will need to be connected to the same network), but that won't put a copy of it on the iPad.

  • ITunes not recognizing original IPod touch after new one installed

    I tried to set up new IPod touch but itunes wouldn't recognize it. Downloaded latest version of itunes. Was able to set up new IPod touch but now old touch not being recognized by itunes. Went through the troubleshooting guide with no positive results. Old (unreconized) touch is fully charged. Restarted computer. Restarted itunes. Changes usb ports. Nothing working. Any ideas?

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you for your reply to my posting about iTunes not recognizing my iPod Touch after upgrading to Leopard.
    iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Thanks for setting me straight on this.
    iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to your posting, I had already read the article you referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
    Prior to your posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
    Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent you referenced was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

  • ITunes not seeing my iPhone4...

    This is prolly an old one, but here goes...
    Phone arrived yesterday, attempted so sync on MacBook pro (running Leopard), iTunes not seeing phone.
    Re-installed iTunes 9.2, everything fine.
    Today, attempting to do some more syncing, and, once again, iTunes has amnesia.
    What's going on here?
    Any help would be truly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Just got my iPhone 4 today -iTunes doesn't see mine. Did your issue ever resolve? The phone says NO SERVICE. Was that your issue, too?

  • Rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device.  ??

    rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device.  i'm brand new at apple tv - do i need to enable it or something?

    Is it the little black box? If yes then it is the 2nd model. It won't show up in iTunes as there is no syncing involved. The only time it does is when you connect and need to restore the device.
    You need to enable home sharing in iTunes and on ATV

  • Itunes not recognizing my ipod after restoring it

    My ipod decided to go crazy on me, so I followed the 5 r's. After restoring the ipod it is no longer being recognized. I have restarted my computer, downloaded the latest software, used different usb ports but to no avail.
    There is no icon in devices that pops up. When i run a diagnostic is states that an ipod is connected.
    Any helps?
