    can anyone tell me why my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer anywhere

    Hi lllaass,
    Do you know of any solutions to restore my ipod touch generation 1 or 2 I think.  Itunes says it cannot restore and now it won't work?  Do I have to go to an apple store or do you have any advise?
    Thanks!

    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Ipod Touch Screen wont time out?

    So about two days ago I noticed that my ipod's screen wont time out and turn off, if I for example decide to manually change a song rather then skip it from my headphones, it stays on, so i have to manually turn of the screen while I'm playing music..I don't know why I haven't changed any settings or droped it nor has any water gone in it. Is this normal? I mean its not too much of a problem but since I do use it most of the day at work it makes my battery run out much faster. Any help is much appreciated.

    It might be one of two things.
    I know you said you didn't change any thing but,
    Check under settings, general, and autolock it might be on 'Never' change that
    Or i might be misunderstanding.
    You might be use a stereo base and i don't know but if you are, the ipod, if on the 'Now Playing' page is up, will not go to sleep automatically

    - Try here to get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - Yu can also try another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
    - Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode. For that see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Try DFU mode:

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • IPod Classic 80Gb, wont show up in iTunes 8, but does in Finder

    Just plugged my iPod classic 80Gb in and it wont show in iTunes 8, although it shows up in Finder
    Tried a iPod reset. restarted my Mac but no good.
    Come on man I need to do a sync....

    I have a similar problem.
    This morning, all music was gone from my iPod, just like that. I had been having troubles with playing a couple of songs last night if that's connected. Anyway, I connect it to my Macbook. I try to reset it through iTunes and that was done, I pressed eject and ejected it when it said OK to disconnect -- although when I did so it said it wasn't ejected properly. Now when I connect it appears in Finder as a device (like that thingy that appears when you install stuff, a white thing) but it doesn't in iTunes. In fact, as soon as I plug it in iTunes freezes and I can't open it or do anything in there, the marker just shows that it's loading.
    What do I do?

  • Ipod billing screen wont take valid security key?

    Alright, so my credit card time expired for apple. So I go in a select a new date for it to expire the next time. But when I put in the security key for my card it keeps saying invalid key.(note this is on my ipod touch). The problem is, the key I have IS valid. So I went into my apple account(on the apple site) and put in the key, it takes it and everything. When I use my ipod and go to download music, applications, or updates it tells me I have to sign in. So I do, but than it takes me into a screen with my billing info asking for the security key and to set a new experation date. Again. I did all it asked for, hit done, selected a county, but it sends me back to the screen once again saying the key is invalid. The apple site will take they key and say its valid, but on my ipod it says its invalid... So I tried going in and re-entering my credit card info and etc.on the site and it worked, for the site anyways, not the ipod. So basically my problem here is: Itouch billing info screen wont take valid security key.
    Ive tried re-entering my info, making sure the adresses and everyting are the same, but nothing seems to work and I cant download anything to my ipod until this works. Please help!
    NOTE: Please dont send me a link to the part of the apple site telling me to redo my info, like I said, I already tried that.

    I am having the same exact problem. It's like I am not putting the right information, but I have quadruple checked several times. It asks for me to put in a a new security code then it takes me to city/county and it only has one option(which is the right one. I don't understand what is happening...I mean we have 3 people who have the same problem..is there an answer to this?

  • Please Help! When plugged in, Ipod (2nd generation) wont show up!

    hey, my old ipod i gave to my sister has suddenly not been able to appear when it is plugged in to the computer. I don't know how, but it's not in the columns and only charges on the ipod screen. Nothing happens at all with itunes and nothing pops up to show it's existance! What is going on!? Thanks:)

    i've had this problem before, adn the only thing that worked for me was to reset my ipod, and, if it shows up, restore the original settings to prevent it from happening again. i'm afraid that it takes a while to put all of your songs/podcasts/etc. back on your ipod, but it's the only way i know of. hope this helps!

  • Ipod 1st gen wont show up in itunes 4.0

    I recently upgraded my old imac g4 to 10.3.9. Now, my old shuffle will not show up in itunes 4.0. It mounts itself to the desktop, but wont show up? Any quick fixes out there?
    Thanks,

    Went through something similar on our daughter's old iMac G3. Solution there was to install the most advanced version of iTunes that we could which, I think, was 7.0.something. Her Nano then started playing properly.

  • Ipod connected but wont show up on itunes.

    Well, iTunes 7 is just an updated version of the iTunes you have. The screens and layout have changed slightly, although it only takes a day or two to get used to it. Also, I don't know what version of iTunes you have (go to Help>About iTunes), but I believe the only way to purchase from the iTunes store is with iTunes 7.
    Also, the iPod Updater and iTunes are now one system, so the iPod and all the information that goes along with it (available space, settings, etc.) show up directly in iTunes.
    Check it out here. Be sure to look at the links on the left side of the page.
    I hope this helps!

  • Ipod keeps restarting/ wont show up in itunes or my computer...

    Recently my ipod has been freezing after listening to it for about 20-30 minutes, i would reset it and it would remain frozen after the reboot until the battery died. Now it wont even take a charge, it keeps showing the apple symbol then the unhappy ipod face over and over until i disconnect it from the charge source. I took it to the apple store nearby and they gave me directions to reset my ipod, the problem is that my computer as well as itunes doesn't even recognize that my ipod is even hooked into the usb port. Any help or suggestions??
    Thank you

    I am having the same problem with my ipod. I managed to get the ipod into disk mode and then managed to get windows to recognize it and restore it, but after the restore process completed it just went back to doing the exact same thing again so I dont think that works. I am still trying to figure things out and I really dont want to pay over $300 to send it to apple for repairs when I can get a brand new 20GB mp3 player for the same price. I would like to hear any suggestions too.
