  • I have videos on my ipod that wont show up in itunes!!!

    There are two videos on my ipod that I want deleted but they wont show up in itunes. Can anyone help me? They take up too much space on my ipod and I want them gone without having to restore everything.

    Dumb question - How did they get on your iPod if they are not in iTunes? Anyway, you can try swiping across the title and deleting it within the iPod. Then sync. If they appear to return, they are in iTunes someplace (you can search for them).

  • 8g Second Gen, iPod Touch wont show up on iTunes?

    I use a Mac OSX, Snow Leopard.
    I've tried several different chargers with my iPod, but it wont show up on iTunes. iPhoto will come up and say it's synced, and the iPod itself will show that it is charging. But it wont show up on iTunes so I can listen to my music or add songs. This is random, and has never happened before.
    Any help?

  • My Ipod 5 wont show up on itunes? help

    So i downloaded the newest itunes today and i plug my ipod 5 to the computer and it wont come up on itunes/// i cant get no more music

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

  • My fifth generation ipod nano wont show up on itunes... please help!

    I've had my fifth generation ipod nano for about five months now. Nothing has gone wrong with it. the ipod would show up on itunes with no problem. But today i plugged it in to my computer, itunes popped up as usual, but then another pop up came:an ipod has been detected but could not be itentified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod, then try again.
    I unplugged and plugged my ipod several times, but nothing was fixed. I even changed the cable and did the same, but still, nothing happened. I tried resetting my ipod and then plugging it in, but nothing was fixed. then i put the ipod on disk mode and THEN tried to see if it would show up, but it still wasnt fixed.
    I really need my ipod to show up on itunes!can anyone help?
