ITunes wont see I have an ipod

I had to uninstall all of my ipod software to install iTunes and now I installed everything the ipod software and musicmatch (eww) and now I don't want music match but if I uninstall musicmatch my ipod wont tell iTunes it's their. Any idea? I got Ipod First Generation.

FOR WINDOWS:
Connect ipod if tunes opens close it LEAVE IPOD HOOKED UP ! control alt delete in processes RIGHT CLICK AND END ipodservice.exe,then open start and click run and put this in "c:\PROGRAM FILES\iPOD\BIN\iPODSERVICE.EXE" /service
Leaving the ipod HOOKED UP NOW REBOOT LEAVE IPOD HOOKED UP may take a few minuets be patient...when rebooting is done itunes should open and recognize your ipod ...This worked for my new 80gig ipod just purchased 2 days ago and pluged in ipod it formatted to windows ok but itunes would not update or recognize ...This info is from Jeremy in ohio tech support for apple he is good (seems to know what he is talking about ), first 2 tech's i talked to were useless . Now ipod is auto updated very happy auto dnloaded music to new ipod (6,787) songs and all is ok ...This is not a fix for scratchy audio this is making ipod able to read your ipod by shutting off ipod service then rebulding it (restarting ) and worked fine for me ...If not sure go ahead and call tech support on this fix for updating ....Thanks all Good luck..

Itunes wont see the music on ipod classic

itunes wont see the music on ipod classic

If you can see the songs but they are "greyed out" it's because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.

IPod wont work after update! iTunes wont see it! Help???!!!

Hi
After updating the updater my iPod is no longer recognised by itunes. When i plug my ipod in it says do not disconnect and is recognised by the computer, but not itunes. The updater window comes up saying i need to update but it will only give me the option to restore. I have done this. I have tried resetting also, but this doesn't work. I have uninstalled the updater, and reinstalled it. The problem persists. It comes up with an error when i do have the option to update. Now my ipod, when turned on, display the little apple sign, and then the folder with the exclamation, and shortly turns itself off. It has no songs on it now. I've only had it about 8 months so it should still be covered under the warranty, but ideally i would like to solve this problem without sending it off.
Did you work out how to sort out yours? Or can anyone help me with mine!
Please!!!

"Did you work out how to sort out yours?"
Did who sort out theirs?!
What is the error message you refer to when you tried to update it.
If you've seen this and it doesn't help then it may need service.
Folder and !.
There is something you can try. If your iPod is recognized in 'my computer' you can try formatting the iPod through Windows, then you would need to reformat it using the iPod updater. This proceedure isn't normal, but can be used in extreme troubleshooting circumstances.

I bought a new computer authorized it, and transfered my purchased items, but itunes wont let me manage my ipod through itunes, i.e. I cant arrange my spring board install or uninstall apps through itunes everything on the ipods apps page is unclickable?

I can't change anything on my ipod through itunes what might be the problem? I stransfered everything, I authorized my computer but I cant use the apps page on itunes all the apps inside the ipod picture and on the side are faded and I cant click on any of them, and I need it to arrange my apps in my ipod , since its much easier this way. any solution?

Because you changed your syncing iTunes library. You can only sync to one iTunes library. If all yur apps and music and other stuff in on your new computer you have these options:
- Restore from backup. Check the Devices tab in iTunes' Prferences to see if there is there. You can tell by name and date. If it is there then restore from that backup. If the backup is not there you need to go back to your old computer and move/opy the iPod backup to the new computer. That file is located:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
- If you do not have the backup all you can do is to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync everything from the new computer. You will lose app data.

ITunes wont see my iPhoto library! Unknown Error -50

Ive recently replaced my external hard drive.
When I try and sync any ipod I get the error 'Unkown Error -50'.
This stops happening if I untick the photos syncing from iPhoto option.
Why is my Itunes not seeing my iphoto folder?
Tc

I have the same problem. If I recall correctly, the usual "solution" is to trash your iPhoto prefs and cache and rebuild the library (a simple "rebuild the library" from within iPhoto doesn't seem to work).
I guess I keep hoping a more elegant, less time-intensive solution comes along, but it's my guess Apple has no idea (or care) that this problem persists.

Tried to update, now comp/itunes wont see phone which only has cable and itunes showing

Hi, I tried to update iphone to new update, I updated itunes first but when I tried to update the phone I got unknown error (code was 1604 i think) first had phone in dock so tried again and the third time I went to try with the original cable but Itunes/my computer wont see it. the screen has a picture of the usb cable with arrow pointing to Itunes logo. I have tried the Apple help which included reset (both buttons 10 seconds) using different usb port and others from general help.
Can anyone help get the basic operating system back onto the phone please.

ITunes not seeing iPhoto Albums in iPod interface

All other iLife apps see the iPhoto albums but not iTunes. The Albums are not listed - just a blank window. When I try to sync all the photos from iPhoto to the iPod I am getting the -50 error.
I have done the 5R's to the iPod.
Any ideas?
TIA
MJ

I followed your last instructions but I still get the error-50.
I think I have narrowed it down to an iPhoto problem.
I created a new iPhoto album and then created some smart+regular albums and iTunes could see them and sync them to the iPod. I then added about 1500 photos, at some point iTunes refused to see the albums again.
I will keep at it until ...... if all else fails I will just take the photos that I want on the iPod and export them to an folder and added them to the iPod that way.
Thanks for your input.
MJ

An unknown error occurred -54 in itunes this happened after i'd bought new iPod touch and synced it to my iTunes can you not have two iPods on iTunes account??

Please help i bought a new ipod touch and synced it to my itunes account so i had both ipod touch's on it and now i have an error flashing at me and i don't know what to do??

== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.

ITunes wont sync purchases with my iPod touch?

I have an iPod 5th generation and my boyfriend has an iPod touch, both synced to the iTunes on this computer. He recently bought some songs through his touch on our iTunes account.
on the purchase history, it shows that the songs were bought, and when I go to the song itself in the iTunes store on the computer, it shows the song as being previously purchased. but yet, I cant seem to get it onto my iTunes, even though its showing fine on his touch. I should be able to get it, right?
