My computer can't see my iPod

Hello good folks,
I need some help!  Something happened to my iPod 2nd generation recently, and I would sure like some help to figure it out:
My computer can't see it when it's connected via USB (doens't show up on My Computer (Windows XP) and
iTunes won't sync up
It never finished charging; it's been going for over 24 hours now and it still hasn't finished charging.
Unfortunately, I'm in Cusco, Peru where there are no authorized Apple support and I'd really love to get it working again.  The music on public transportation here isn't exactly to my liking and I have a 45-minute commute each way.
Anyone out there have any suggestions?  Thanks so much!

  • Can't see my ipod in itunes and my computer

    I can't see my ipod in itunes  and my computer. There is an error code 10
    please help

    My problem is almost the same, I went to plug my 60g iPod into my PC USB port, and it locked up my computer and iPod. Now my iPod is stuck on the Do not disconnect screen and hasn't even changed the time at the top, still stuck at 10:05AM. I'm getting kind of upset here. I haven't even had the thing for over a year yet and I keep it in good shape.
    Any ideas on how to fix would be helpful.
    Thank

  • Ipod Connexion - Error 10 - Can't see my Ipod on my PC

    Hi,
    I have a new Ipod Classic 160Go but I can't use it on my computer.
    If I try to connect it, I get an "error 10" message saying that Ipod can't be installed properly.
    If I remove Itune 7.6, my computer recognize my Ipod as a mass storage device and I can see it under file explorer.
    When I install Itune, my computer can't mount my Ipod anymore with "error 10" message, even as a mass storage device...
    I tried other USB port, but steel the same.
    I'm using the same Ipod with my office computer with Itunes 7.6, and everything is working properly...
    Does anyone as any idea on how to deal with this situation ??
    Thanks

    Not sure what you mean.
    You won't see the music/vids/apps, unless you put them there.  They do not magically appear.

  • How come I can't see my Ipod Touch on Itunes?

    When I had the 9.2 version (the one before 10), just recently before I changed it to 10, my Ipod Icon wouldn't show up on Itunes so I couldnt sync my ipod or do anything, even though it was plugged and was charging. So, then I was like okay, maybe that's my cue to download the newest version of Itunes. Well once I did that, I could sync and see my ipod again on Itunes for a few days, but just now, I plugged in my Ipod and it's doing the same thing again! It's charging, but I can't see my ipod and its options. So I'm not sure if it's my Ipods problem or maybe it's not compatible to the version? I have the 2Gen Ipod touch. Anyone know?

    i too have a 2nd gen Touch and it works fine with iTunes 10.
    try this:
    (a) download the [_*Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048]
    (b) reboot into _*safe mode*_
    (c) launch *disk utility* (in applications/utilities), +verify disk+ and +repair permissions+
    (d) run the combo
    (e) after running the combo, let the Mac reboot normally and +repair permissions+ again.
    (f) run +software update+ from the  menu and install any updates offered.
    connect your Touch now. what happens ?

  • Computers can't see my ipod

    I've plugged my ipod into multiple computers, with both its firewire and a usb cable. The ipod always says 'do not disconnect' but never shows up on screen or in itunes.
    On one machine with multiple users I got a 'this ipod is in use by another user' and on one (the last one it worked on) I saw 'this device is a format that macintosh does not understand'.
    I have performed the restore function and tried to get it into disk mode to reformat, but neither works.
    Other than not being recognized by any computer, it works fine, charges in the stand, plays music, etc. But I have to be able to mount it, so wonder how to get it workin again.

    Nope, thanks though. I tried removing the .kext file without success. Also ran ipod updater, but the computer doesn't see the ipod. However, both system profiler and disk utility see it.
    When I ran verify in disk utility I get the following:
    Verifying volume $B!H(Be-Learning Services iPod$B!I(B
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Keys out of order
    The volume e-Learning Services iPod needs to be repaired.
    Volume check failed.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
    1 volume checked
         0 HFS volumes verified
         1 volume failed verification
    I ran repair disk and get this:
    Repairing disk for $B!H(Be-Learning Services iPod$B!I(B
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.

    So does it have to go back to Apple now?

  • How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

    I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
    When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up:  Calendars, Contacts and Notes.  I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
    When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer!  WHY?!?
    When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
    HELP, please.  I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
    Thanks in advance...
