My ipod no longer shows up properly?

My ipod used to appear as Luke's Ipod, now not only does it not show up at all in itunes, it appears only as Apple Ipod anywhere else. I've reset my ipod and itunes, re-installed itunes, restarted the mobile device serivce, emptied the Temp folder, tried different cables and tried a different computer. I haven't found anything that helped so far. Any ways to fix this?

Backup the iPod then restore from backup. See:

  • When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting?

    When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

  • Why do music videos no longer show up properly?

    After updating to OS5 I notice that music videos no longer show up properly.  
    I have most of mine in playlists, and it show the songs, but only plays the music, not the video?  
    When I view them in 'Videos' I have no option to sort or show them in a different way! 
    Considering the iPad is probably more slanted toward movie content, the lack of features for music videos is very disapointing

    I think this has always been a lacking feature in the iPad videos app but now it is even worse as you can't go into the music app, context navigate to the video you want and play the music video.  It was irritating in the past as it took you back to the lack luster videos app with no sorting or context other than the video tile navigation, now it is TOTALLY un functional.
    APPLE DEVOLPMENT please use the video app with 200+ music videos and see how you like it!  Or does anyone know of a replacement or more advanced app that will allow a better browse and play interface. Apple's is so basic that it is 'still' just painful!
    Music video playlist and shuffle on the iPad would also be nice but sort would be awesome!
    Thanks for any info from anyone on this topic that I have long hopped to be resolved but it is going backward and we are loosing features.
    The new music interface isn't any better in my opinion either, play buttons at the top so your hand has to be over the top of the screen,  store button at the bottom left vs top right as it would be more intuitive like other app purchase button positioning. 
    Anyone know how to make music videos sort better on the iPad (by artist would be awesome)

  • Websites no longer show up properly using osx 10.6.8 ffox 36.0.1

    i am pretty sure it's the fact I am still using OSX 10.6.8 but some websites no longer show up properly the way they show up on OSX 10.10
    even in safari websites no longer show up the way it does on the new OS. I have also downloaded the latest flash player. I like using snow leopard to me it is the best version of osx in many instances and would like to continue using it. It looks like the html or flash code cannot be deciphered.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Missing icons are usually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you might see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters instead.
    In your case you have a font installed in Windows that covers this range.
    You need to make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts to make Firefox use fonts that are downloded.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).

  • My ipod no longer shows in my itunes help, my ipod no longer shows in my itunes help

    my ipod is no longer showing up in my itunes, it use to i have tired everything, it will only charge can you tell me what could be wrong and how to fix it please

    There may be various issues associated with updating to iTunes 10.4.1 but I was able to fix my problem with iTunes not seeing my devices. iTunes would start fine but connecting my iPhone or iPad would result in the beach ball hang. I noticed the same thing would happen if I tried to click on the MobileMe icon on the status bar so it pointed to a sync services problem. Looking in "~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices" I saw some "ErrorInfo.txt" files with "SyncDataDirectoryCorruptedException, reason = The Admin Database does not exist. It should have been created by upgradedb."
    I had already reinstalled Lion to get iTunes10.4 back which didn't help so that step may not be necessary but I restored "~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local" from my Time Machine backup from the day before the 10.4.1 update and that fixed my problem.
    I've re-updated to 10.4.1 and everything still works.

  • New iTunes update, iPod no longer shows up in iTunes

    Got a update request from iTunes today and accepted the upgrade for iTunes and QuickTime.  I ignored the warning from Microsoft that this was not approved for XP (stupid, but I doubted that Apple would trash my connection).  After the install, I no longer have my iPod show up in my iTunes.  I have done a System Restore, deleted iTunes and reinstalled, deleted iTunes and manually removed all left over folders and then reinstalled; followed all of the troubleshooting items at http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/ and lots of other things over the past 6 hours.  I am really tired now.  Does anyone have any help.  Note that the iPod charges through the ISB port, the wi-fi worksm the apps and music and library items show up in iTunes.  The only thing that is missing is the iPod showing up in iTunes so that I cannot sync.  Also when I open iTunes I get this message:
      Warning!
      iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs,
      you need to reinstall iTunes.
    I need to sync. Help.

    Good news now.  After two more uninstall/reinstalls I now get my iPod showing up in iTunes.  I still get the:
    Warning!
      iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs,
      you need to reinstall iTunes.
    box every time I open iTunes, but this is an annoyance, not a disaster.  Still any help in stopping this pop-up would be appreciated.  Also I have sucessfully imported a CD to iTunes, so I am not sure what the warning is about.  (I do not have a downloaded song to try to burn to a CD however).

  • IPod no longer shows as device

    My first visit to iTunes interface in about a year.  (Tired of the songs living in my iPod; time to remove them and replace with a different batch from my purchased music).  The iPod is plugged into my Mac, but it does not show as a device in the left-hand column.  The last time I used the interface, it showed as a device.  I simply dragged songs into it, or deleted songs from it.  Is there a tutorial showing the new method?  Thank you. iTunes 11.0.2(26).  Mountain Lion.

    Do you have the Sidebar showing? (View > Show Sidebar)
    It's off by default in iTunes 11. Connected devices are instead listed under the Devices button in the upper right.

    I have the latest iPod Touch with 100 songs on it. Suddenly, (because this hasn't been a problem before), only three songs show up on iTunes in the computer (MacBook Pro). Why can't I see all 100 songs on iTunes like before? They are on the iPod. I have updated everything. I need to manage them and they don't show up to manage! Thanks

  • IPod no longer showing any music.. help?

    I was listening to some music on my iPod through my PC and I was using Winamp (I've used before and no problems) and when I unplugged my iPod all of my music had disappeared.
    The photos are still on there and the mp3 files seem to still be there - I just can't access them when they are not plugged into the computer. Literally all playlists, artists, albums and songs have disappeared.
    I have tried downloading programs to extract the music from my iPod and then start over as my music isn't in iTunes (it is a new PC), but it comes up with an error message that the iPod Control file is corrupt..?
    Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions on fixing it?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    That file tells the iPod where everything is and what to look for.
    You may need to restore your iPod (keep reading though)...

    You may also be able to use the repair function of this program to get the iPod to recognize the songs on it...

  • My ipod no longer shows up on itunes or my computer after i recently installed an update on my ipod?

    All it says on my ipod is it connected and disappears right away.

    So you can't get your iPod to stay connected to your PC and iTunes is that correct?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port?  Have you double checked to make sure the connections on each of the cable are snug?  What happens if you try a different USB port or sync cable?

  • My iPod touch(4th gen.) no longer shows up in the iTunes sidebar, any ideas?

    Does anyone know why an iPod no longer shows in the iTunes sidebar?

    Assuming a PC
    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
