My ipod does not appear in device list

iTunes does not recognize my iPod Touch. It does not appear as a "device". What does appear is "Sync George Lance's iPod". There is no problem syncing but
can't manage the iPod. I have gone through the un-installing and re-installs of all of the Apple S/W to no avail.

Keep in mind, the new iTunes is in a different format.  To revert to a more familiar format:
In the top menu bar in iTunes, select
1.  View
2.  Show sidebar
Is the device now on the more familiar left hand pane or still not recognized
iOS device not recognized by iTunes (Windows) - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
iPod not recognized in "my computer" and "iTunes" (Windows) - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369.

  • IPad does not appear in devices list on itunes

    When I connect iPad to laptop it does not appear in the iTunes devices list. I have tried all the recommended Apple support actions reinstalling iTunes etc but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your tip. It didn't work in quite the way you outlined but it did help me to get my IPad recognised by ITunes. When I did what you suggested ITunes came back with something like ' can't connect to your IPad because the driver is missing, delete and reinstall ITunes to resolve this problem' . When I did that the IPad appeared in the Devices list.
    I assume from this that the device driver was defective. Many thanks.

  • IPod does not appear under devices in Itunes

    These problems started a couple weeks ago: When I connect my iPod classic to my Windows 7 laptop, it doesn't appear under devices in iTunes, but the iPod says its connected. Also, a little blue sheild appeared over the iTunes icon on my desktop. When I click on iTunes, a message comes up telling me to turn off compatability mode before I open iTunes for best results because it was running on an earlier version of iTunes. I've tried switching the compatability around and all of the troubleshooting options possible for iTunes but nothing has changed and my iPod still does not show up in devices. What sould I do?

    The blue shield is Windows 7 telling you, to log in as Administrator, it need this higher priviledge to add devices like your iPod to the Machine.
    Perhaps, you can go to Microsoft forum, for the how_to override. (must be install and run iTunes as Administrator)
    Have a nice day!

  • Iphone does not appear in device list in itunes?

    Cant sync my iphone

    I have two iPhones (iOS 4.3.5 (8L1) & 4.3.4 (8K2)) that do not appear in iTunes. For both phones, I have followed all steps at
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
    except re-installing iTunes which seems like a ridiculous thing to do. I have updated my iMac to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) and have the latest iTunes 10.4 (80). Also, my two iPhones do not appear in iPhoto 9.1.5 (615) either.
    Since I rebooted my iMac I'd assume that is similar to your advice to stop and restart services.
    Any further suggestions?

  • When I open iTunes my iPod nano does not appear in the list of divides so that I can click on what I want to since.

    When I connect my Ipod Nano to my Mac it does not appear in the list of devices, so I can't check what I want it to sinc, such as music videos. It will sinc thr music automaticlly. I can't tell it to sinc anything else.

    the same exact thing happens to me except that when i plug it in it tells me not to disconnect it. i had a friend who told me to leave it plugged in no matter how long it took.. i waited for 5 hours or more for my ipod to do something and i got so mad i just disconnected it.it didn't do ANYTHING AT ALL. so, if someday you find out how to make yours work.. can you tell me please? i'm desperate!

  • My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer.  This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

    My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either.  This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed.  How can I get it going again?

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod does not appear in itunes after windows scan and fix

    Two days ago, I restored my Ipod classic using Itunes 9.2.0.61. After restoration my Ipod started freezing Itunes and Vista. At a point, I saw a blue screen and my computer forced a shutdown. When it rebooted, Vista kept asking to automatically "scan and fix" problems on my Ipod. Thinking that would solve the "freeze" problem, I stupidly went ahead to have Vista scan and fix my Ipod. Now the freeze problem is gone, but my Ipod does not appear in Itunes. I have tried the five Rs from Apple, but that has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • CDs loaded, Artist name does not appear in ARTISTS list

    Among all the CDs I've loaded and songs purchased, I have 2 Carly Simon
    CDs on my video iPod. However, Carly Simon's name does not appear in my
    list of ARTISTS in the Music Menu.
    I did a sync with my iTunes list and the songs are indeed loaded.
    Why is her name missing from the list and how do I get it back?
    It used to be there!
    Thanks-

    I just found the answer on the discussion board.
    In my SETTINGS I had compilations turned on.
    When I switched it off, Carly Simon was back in my
    ARTISTS list.

    If it is a version 2 ATV, it will not appear in iTunes except where you can select it for Airplay. With the new ATV2, you go in the opposite direction (ATV2 to iTunes) after you have enabled sharing. The ATV1 could both store (sync) and/or stream content. The new one cannot. The ATV2 will appear as an AirPlay device in iTunes and in the iPod and Video areas on an iPhone, iPad, etc.
    If your ATV is a version 1, you will have to reset it and go through the setup process using iTunes....
