My ipod keeps restoring and wont show up.

Everytime i plug in my iPod a message keeps coming up telling me to restore it well i restore it and the message keeps coming up i tried going into the control panal and all that stuff but my ipod doesnt even show up in there or in my computer folder. please help.

Is that a "recovery mode" message, littlehippie?
If so, and the iPod otherwise seems to be working fine, it's probably worth checking on a Windows drive letter confusion, as per the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Ipod is FROZEN and WONT SHOW UP ON ITUNES/COMPUTER!

    My second generation Ipod is a little more than a year old and has worked splendidly until this last monday.
    Five days ago my ipod would not play a song, and when i tried to skip it, it wouldnt play that song either. The CD cover would also not show up.
    This has happened to me before, so i did what i normally do to fix it, plug it into a wall charger for a whole day. However, this did nothing. Today, I took it off the charger and plugged it into my computer, a little beep sounds but wont show up on itunes or my computer.
    It began to charge with my computer, but then it froze completely. Im unable to change the song or turn it off (when i take it off the computer it is still frozen for hours with the backlight and charging sign in the battery)
    obviosly i can not restore it if it wont show up on itnes, and i can not put it in disk mode if it is frozen!
    is there anything i can do?

    Mine did the same thing, hold down the center button then press menu hold them both down for about 10 seconds. You may have to do it more than once. I hope that helps!!!!!!

    Try to reset the device:

    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • My ipod touch shows up as a camera on my pc and wont show up at all on itunes

    my ipod touch shows up as a camera on my pc and wont show up at all on itunes

    Hi
    I was having the same problem for ages. I followed a apple advice section telling me to check the processes for apple mobile device manager, and check for the applusb.sys driver, and they were both there and working. I would advise you to do this. If they are not showing, then the article says to re-install itunes. here is the article by the way. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852
    However this did not fix my problem. So I decided to try re-installing the actual driver, instead of the whole of itunes. Try this, as it worked for me
    (I don't no how good with computers you are, so I'll put simple steps, sorry if it seems patronising!)
    1) Go to start, and Run
    2) Type "devmgmt.msc" without speech marks
    3) A screen with your computers name at the top, with seperate sections for things like keyboards and moniters should have come up. At the bottom you should see Universal serial bus (usb). Expand it and look for apple ipod, or somthing similar (there's prob only be one by apple) If it's not there make sure your ipod is plugged in!
    4) Right click and go to properties
    5) Click the 'Driver' tab
    6) You should see 'Roll back changes' as an option. Click that and accept/press yes to the prompts that pop up.
    7) Wait for a few seconds (may take a min or two) until your back to the previous screen described in step 3
    8) Now Under 'portable devices', apple ipod should be listed. Right click that, and choose 'Update driver software' Choose to automatically search.
    9) Again wait, and when it's complete Apple iPod should show under universal seriel bus (usb) section again.
    10) Exit out of device manager, and open up itunes. Your ipod should now be there. You may need to un plug it and plug it in.
    What this effectivly does is re-install the device used to search for iPods by itunes. For some reason, mine and probably yours ran into problems.
    Hope you found this helpful, and I'll check back later if you have any problems or questions.

    I tried to restore my iphone 5s but it shut off during the restore and wont turn back on I tried reseting it with the home and power button but it doesnt work and I tried connecting it to itunes but it doesnt show up

    Did you try to connect in recovery mode, as explained in this article?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If this does not work, get it checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or by Apple:

  • My ipod is locked and wont inlock

    my ipod is locked and wont unlock. it says that I have to wait 23,646,570 minutes
    i have no clue what to do need help!!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
      Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

    back up the device in icloud and restore it back to factory settings after doing so setup as new and see if the issue is still there. If it's not merge your icloud info back into your device by just loging in with your apple id after the the setup is complete.

  • Ipod will charge but wont show in itunes

    It says its charging, doesnt show up in my computer and wont show on my itunes.  How do i get it to show up as a device??

    doesnt show up in my computer
    that's expected behavior. the Touch doesn't support disk mode so would, by default, not show up in "my computer".
    wont show on my itunes
    check out thissupport article. also, make sure Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and started.
