My ipod does not work on my laptop but it works on my PC

When I plug in my ipod to my laptop, it doesn't load up but when I plug it into my home PC, it starts up right away.
I looked through all of the options that are selected on the PC to see if there are any differences but I dont see any. Maybe I uninstalled something on my laptop that is needed to connect my ipod to the laptop.
HELP!!!!

Make sure "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" is checked.

IPod does not charge or turn on but is recognized in Windows and iTunes

A couple of days ago after disconnecting my iPod in iTunes the iPod display went blank. It will not turn on nor will it display if it is charging if it is connected to the wall power adapter. I tried reseting it and I let it sit for 24 hours like the apples website said and nothing happened. What did happen is that Windoes recognizes it and so does iTunes and the hard drive spins and is acessible. I let reset it and let it sit another 24 hours and it still does not turn on nor will the power adapter recognize it. The display does not appear broken and it physically looks good.
Any ideas?

The only thing you haven't mentioned is whether you've tried to restore it. If that doesn't work, it looks like it will need service.
Restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Put the iPod into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

30GB ipod does not play videos, it loads but does not streams...

i have a 30gb 5gen ipod, ant it has a problem... it doesn't plays video. video clips i used were converted in itunes, so it had to fit the requirments. video loads ok, but when i try to play it it shows play sign in the left up corner, however nothig hapens, just black screen. when i push the forward buton it goes forward and i can see that the video clip loaded well, it's just not streaming, looks like it is on pause or something. i have tried to restore it, reinstall it... nothing helped
please help!!!

Hard Reset the iPod as below- this does not delete or erase any song or data.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

LXDM does not come after root logout (but it works fine after normal

I recently installed Arch with LXDE (and LXDM as login manager).
Everything works fine, except one strange feature I hope to solve thanks to this post.
I think I have to configure something on LXDM or X11.
I'll try to explain my problem.
When I boot computer, LXDM come.
If I login as one of my normal users, no problem: I can login and logout as many times I want, and LXDM come every time I logout.
But if I login as root, then after logout LXDM no longer come (after root logout the standard console (no X11) come).
Any suggestions?
I very rarely login as root, but in such cases I do want LXDM after logout.

Of course logging as root is a very rarely thing for me.
With su and sudo I can perform everything.
The point is to compare the desktop environmnet of "root" and "giulio".
User giulio is customized: theme, icons, panel and so on.
Instead, root has the standard LXDE environment (standard icon, standard theme, etc).
Sometimes I want to see if I installed theme for giulio only or for all. To accomplish this task I login as root and launch LXAppereance program: if I see the new icon theme (for example) then I installed that for all, otherwise, i installed that only for giulio.
This is why I found such problem I'm talking about.
Of course this is nothing important.
I can live all my life without logging as root.
But, I prefer to have all the things ordered in my system.
Now that I see LXDM is not properly configured (after root logout) I prefer to fix it (this does not mean I actually continue to log in as root).
It's just to fix things.

Ipod does not respond to computer/Itunes, but reboots constantly.

I have been using the same Ipod since 2/14/2006 (Black 30GB-5th Generation). Never had any problems with it at all.
About 4 days ago, I updated to the latest version of Itunes (Ver 7.6.2.9.) and I have been having problems with my Ipod ever since. Everytime I connect my Ipod to the dock/computer to sync, it turns off by itself immediately and keeps rebooting over and over by itself when connected. My Ipod is not able to establish a connection with my computer or Itunes.
I have read other recent threads in regards to similar issues, namely "low battery" or a sad Ipod face, but I haven't had either appear on my Ipod yet. I have put Ipod in Disk mode and plugged it in with a full battery to no success, I have rebooted OVER 50 times in the past 48 hours. The battery is well charged and has not given me any issues, I changed the battery on the Ipod 2 months ago, but it never affected anything. I am able to charge the Ipod fully with my standard AC Charger. At first I thought it was that my computer was not giving enough power to my Ipod, but according to the other posts I read, that is not the case.
In addition, If by chance not enough power is the problem, how can I put more power in my Ipod when it is plugged into the USB port? Why did it change all of a sudden? Most dual AC Power Adaptor USB ports for Ipod have a firewire prong, but I do not have a firewire outlet in my computer to plug in. Can I connect the computer to AC power adaptor and then to Ipod docking station?
I have tried connecting Ipod to another USB port, no success either.
Help! Troubleshooting this on my own has taken its toll. I tried everything!

When i said reboot, I meant "restarts my Ipod".
I tried installing driver to no success. What could be wrong? My Ipod just doesn't communicate with my computer since the latest Itunes was installed.

I have an ipod touch which i am trying to authorize to napster by rhapsody but it cannot find a device! any help. it does not show in my computer but it works fine in itunes.

any help on this would be appreciated.
we think that is is because the system (xp) is not seeing the ipod in the my computer therefore the napster software has nothing to lach on to.!

Does it say that it works with iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch or iPhone)? iOS devices have a different format/file system than other iPods.

MacBook 07 running snow leopard 10.6 does not want to click anything but keyboard works.

I tried PRAM and I can't find my snow leopard disk. What can I do? It was worki ng fine last night and this morning it kept freezing our so I thought and didn't click anything. It automatically opens up the apple up to but can't click anything and doesn't even zoom on the apps on the bar at the bottom.

It sounds like your hard drive may be failing. If you don't have a bootable backup external hard drive or DVD, you may be out of luck. Take it in for service.

My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?

My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?
Model iPod 2 Touch, 8G, It stoped working less than a month after it was purchased but I never sent it back for repairs or warranty to Apple.. Is there still a way to repair it on my own. It just simply does not turn on or charge and it is not recognized by iTunes when I plug it in to my MacBook Pro.
Please advise...

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 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. The appointment is free.

I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4 and at first iTunes didn't work so i came on here and found a way to fix it. Now that I have fixed it my iPod does not appear on iTunes or on my computer.

I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4 and at first iTunes didn't work so i came on here and found a way to fix it. Now that I have fixed it my iPod does not appear on iTunes or on my computer.

Removed. Re-synced. Still not working. Factory reset the phone, re-installed music... made a GIANT "Other" file instead of actually adding any songs.
Factory resetting again. Any other solutions?
EDIT: If It helps, I'm doing this all over USB connection, not trying to sync music through wifi or anything.

iOS: Device not Recognized in iTunes for Windows

Help - iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer

Would someone PLEASE tell me how to get my iPod to show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer?
According to our PC XP computers, we do not have an ipod and it won't charge when plugged into USB. It worked fine for 10 months until this morning (10/26/06). We have ruled out bad USB drive by using flash drive on that USB and it worked fine. Reseting ipod does not work (ipod does not respond to reset command hold toggle then hold menu + play for up to 10 sec). Reseting ipod within ipod menu does nothing. ANY suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks.

I have the same problem with my brand new 2 GB. I have reloaded software, gone through the "5 R's", tried the ipod on my PC and on my laptop -- neither computer recognizes or charges the ipod. Any info greatly appreciated.

Ipod does not show up in I-tunes and does not allow me to Restore

My Ipod does not show up in I-tunes since I switched from my desktop to the laptop. When I connect to the laptop I-tunes freezes and stops responding. I have tried to update or restore my I-pod to start anew with my laptop but I get a message that says "Firmware update failure, disk write error"! My ipod still works but I cannot update my songs or sync it to the new laptop. Am I totally out of luck or can something be done to save this. Dont these come with a year warranty? Can Apple fix this if it is beyond my help?

well done pezdzpnzer!
Unfortunately I am not able to take advantage of the USB 2.0. Is this permanent or did I just have to turn it off originally.
hmmm. now the initial synch has gone through, we might try experimenting with re-enabling the high speed interface (mentioned at the end of the other document.
it may also be worth checking up on this document:
iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
if the problem comes back/persists, it might be worth heading to the Toshiba website and checking for updates for your make and model. on some Toshiba laptops there was a general issue with the USB that was fixed by a BIOS update, and that helped with the ipod connection issues ... but the reports i saw here (a few months ago) didn't mention a specific model as far as i recall.
merry christmas!

After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs

After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs. The stop shuffling after any interruption occurs. So If play in the card, get a call, answer it then go back to the music, I have to manually select shuffle. This did not occur prior to the IOS update.

WEP and Apple products are only somewhat compatible - as you are finding out. If you create your own passwords, then you have to follow specific rules - 48 bit, 5 characters, 128 bit, 14 characters. Shorter or longer, the password won't work.
If you are stuck with WEP (I'd update the laptops with a USB wireless stick before I used WEP, but that's your decision) try the following:
1. Use the 128 bit setting
2. Either create a 14 character password or use WEP key 1 (that's the hex key) in place of your password on the touch.
You could set up a second wireless access point and, as long as it used a different SSID, setup to run WPA2-AES encryption. That would take care of your modern devices.
