My ipod doesnt show up in Itunes!! Help!!

I have read the posts on here and tryed some things like going to my computor and device manager but then couldnt find the mass file or ipod file, what should i do?
thank you

Hi Alec2822,
First, try forcing your iPod into disk mode, following the instructions from this article.
Then, connect it to your computer. Any success with being properly recognized by iTunes?
If that doesn't work, then check out the suggestions in these articles:
iPod is recognized by Windows but not iTunes
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod
Fast user switching on a Windows computer is not supported for iPods
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date

    With your iPod connected to your computer and iTunes running, select your iPod form the left pane, click the File menu in top bar, from there select "transfer purchases from iPod"

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    - If still problem, see it iTunes nows sees the iPod so you can restore the iPod.
    - Next see if placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovry mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Last, try DFU mode and restore.

    If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.  It might help.

  • TS1363 my iphone 4 doesnt show up in itunes. it is also locked on the 'connect to itunes screen' when unplugged from the computer. help me!

    my iphone 4 doesnt show up in itunes. it is also locked on the 'connect to itunes screen' when unplugged from the computer. help me!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 &amp; above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • My 40 gb iPod doesnt show any text on the screen

    My 40 gb iPod doesnt show any text on the screen. The screen will light up and there is an audible clicking noise when using the navigation wheel. Hooked up to my iTunes the iPod also no longer shows up. Ive tried reseting with no luck. Any help is appreciated.

    If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not resolve the issue, it's likely that your iPod's screen will need to be replaced.

  • Why Doesnt My 30gb Ipod Doesnt Pop Up on Itunes

    my ipod doesnt pop up on itunes since yesterday i been tryin to put new songs but i cant cause it dont pop please someone help

    When you connect your iPod to your computer, is it flashing the Do Not Disconnect symbol?
    If it is, try the steps in the articles I posted above, if you haven't already.
    If it's not...
    First, try a different USB port. If you're still having the same problem, try a different USB cable.
    Let us know if you're getting any error messages when you plug in the iPod.
    If you're on a desktop computer, sometimes it helps to have the iPod connected directly to a USB on the BACK of the computer tower. So, if you're connecting your iPod to a USB on the monitor, or on the keyboard, or the front of the tower, try a port on the back. Also, if you're connecting the iPod through a hub, skip the hub and connect DIRECTLY to a port on the computer.
    If you've done all this and it still isn't working, let's see if the iPod shows up in the Device Manager.
    Click on Start, right click on My Computer, click on Manage.
    In the left-hand column click on Device Manager
    Does anything in there represent your iPod? Does it have a yellow triangular warning symbol on it? (Note that you may want to check under Disk Drives and Universal Serial Bus controllers if you don't see it).
    If you're seeing something that indicates it is the iPod (you can double click on them to see more info) double click on it and choose the option to uninstall the device. Then, restart the computer with the iPod attached and let it go through the normal process of installing new hardware. Then see if you can get iTunes to recognize it.

  • My iPod doesnt show the artist but has the songs

    Hello, My iTunes says that it has downloaded an artist onto my iPod nano, but when I go into the artist menu, it doesnt show it. Please help me!
    Packard Bell   Windows XP  

    One possible reason is that you've inadvertently imported the cd as a 'compilation'.
    To check, highlight the songs in iTunes, right click and select 'get info' and make sure you have "no" selected in the box marked 'part of a compilation'.
    You will have to reconnect your iPod to iTunes again to reflect the changes you have made.

  • IPod not showing up in iTunes (but it worked before)

    Hey... this is my second day of having my iPod and all was working fine. I had loaded songs into iTunes and was able to transfer them onto the iPod..
    The problem I am having now though is that I always leave my computer on at night, but I turn off my monitor. I went to sleep last night and when I turned on my monitor this morning, my computer had shown that it had been reset (it was prompting me to log in) so I did so, and now my iPod wont show up in iTunes anymore... but it does show up in windows explorer.
    Any fix to this? I've restarted my computer several times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and also stopped the iPod process in the device manager thingy and restarted it, but to no avail.

    I've posted several questions over this and no one has helped me either, i've done all the delete, uninstall, reinstall, computer management things too, and nothing has worked for me either, I am quite disappointed at how I am not getting any help. Hope you find someone who can help you!

  • Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it

    Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it but it dosent show up under devices so i cant sync any music!!the screen on the ipod would usually say "connecting"or"do not disconnect"but it dosent say that anymore!!Ive been trying to fix it for DAYS but i cant find a good enough solution.PLZ HELP!!(p.s. i have a 4th generation nano)

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.
