My ipod touch does not connect to the computer..  how to make the itunes connect to the ipod touch?

My new macbook pro does not seem to recognize my ipod touch.. 
The sync screen is not appearing and it is not connecting to itunes. 
The Ipod is not getting electricity from the usb port.
The USB ports work well with the flash memories.
What could be the problem?

If you can, try a different USB port.
If you can charge the iPod from a wall outlet, charge to 100%, then try connecting to your Mac.

  • HT1535 The music I have in my i touch does not match or sync with music on my Mac.  What is the best way for me to sync both devices without losing any music?

    The muisc I have in my i-Touch does not match up with the music list in my Mac, therefore have issues syncing.  Is there anyway to keep all those songs without losing some of it?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How to make my iTunes Library use the music which is already on my NAS?

    Hi there,
    I know there have already been some posts around the forum about having the iTunes library on external harddrives or NAS's.
    Though my question is different to that question and the solution for those can't seem to cater for my issue.
    In the other posts, most of them have the music on their MAC's or MacBooks already, and it was more of a migration of their iTunes Library.
    My situation on the other hand is this:
    I have recently bought a MacBook Air and sold my PC Desktop. Before I sold it, I backed up everything to my NAS, so my music is now sitting on the NAS.
    I am now trying to have my iTunes library on my NAS instead of my MacBook Air. Since my MacBook Air is only 128GB, I cannot store all my music on my MacBook Air then migrate it to the NAS (Via some of the solutions I've found online). So those solutions would not work for me.
    That is why I am here, asking this question:
    If my music is already on the NAS, I have a clean iTunes (No music in it), and I don't mind if I my music folders get re-arranged from the doings of iTunes. How do I make my iTunes Library accommodate the songs I have on the NAS?
    The reason I want to do this is because currently I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air and Apple TV. My home sharing is on, so as you can imagine, if I wish to stream songs, it would be handy to have them in iTunes.
    This is my first question, once this is solved, hopefully it will simultanously solve a second question I have in mind (Regarding having all my TV shows and Movies to be in the iTunes Library as well, the contents are currently on my NAS too).
    Your help would be greatly appreciated, as I am new to OS X (Always been a Windows person, as I was a big gamer).
    So far, I have to say, my experience on OS X and the Apple ecosystem is fantastic!

    Typing in all caps indicates shouting is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many simply do not read such posts.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    You need to copy everything from one computer to the other.

  • Ipod Nano does not appear in "My Computer" and "Itunes"

    I was charging my Ipod Nano. I erased all the songs from the nano to create a new playlist. The Ipod froze in the "Do not disconnect" phase. It was disconnected a few hours later (not intentionally). Now it has disappeared from Itunes and the computer does not recognize it. The Ipod screen still says "Do not Disconnect". I have tried to reconnect the device many times. I have tried to "toggle the hold button" and even shut the computer down and restarted it to see if it would recognize the ipod. No luck. I cannot turn the ipod on and the screen is still dark and the "Do Not Disconnect" seems to be perminant. HELP!

    See if any of these articles help.
    Windows XP cannot detect an iPod.
    USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

  • My ipod nano does not appear on my computer no matter what i do

    Iv tried for 6 months to get my computer to recognize my ipod nano.iv downloaded itunes 7.3, my ipod is fully charged, all my usb ports are updated and in device manager its as if nothing has been plugged in. Iv tried putting my ipod in disc mode and when i plug it into the computer it does nothing and still reads: ok to disconnect.nothing seems to work! I plug it in to my computer and nothing!!! Iv contacted apple and have even taken to ipd into the store but they were no help. my friend had experienced the same thing and said she tried for a year until one day her computer just decided to read her ipod. can somebody help me.........

    the same exact thing happens to me except that when i plug it in it tells me not to disconnect it. i had a friend who told me to leave it plugged in no matter how long it took.. i waited for 5 hours or more for my ipod to do something and i got so mad i just disconnected it.it didn't do ANYTHING AT ALL. so, if someday you find out how to make yours work.. can you tell me please? i'm desperate!

  • Firefox 37 does not handle mjpeg like 36, how to make my cam work again

    I have an Axis security camera that worked fine with firefox for years before I
    upgraded to 37 (or 37.1?). The image no longer streams like it should. It is
    just shows the first frame. The "reload" arrow-circle makes firefox show
    the current static image, but still no streaming.
    Without other changes, I downgraded to firefox 36.0.4 and it works again.
    Format is M-JPEG. Problem both on Win7 and ancient WinXP.
    I thought firefox directly handled Motion-JPEG.
    Camera works in IE after loading an app or java or something.
    Am I missing a new extension or add-on or check box on this format ?

    Is your Java up to date in version 37? Check your other plugins as well:

  • I've moved an internal hard drive with all my music and library files to a new computer --- how can I get itunes to import the whole library while keeping my metadata?

    I've always kept all my music on its own dedicated internal hard drive.  Now I've got a new PC, finally made the switch to Windows 7 from XP, and I've moved my internal hard drive over to the new machine.
    I installed iTunes, but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to import the music and library files, keeping all my playlists and metadata.  Why is this so hard?

    If your New to You Used Mac is froom mid 2012 and originally came with Lion installed on it you will need to Reinstall that version using the Online Internet Recovery system and then at first boot of the new install use the Setup Assistant system to copy over all the data from your wifes old hard drive.
    To access the Online system at startup hold down the Command + Option/alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. From the resulting screen that cames up, Mac OS X Utilities, select Disk Utility and then the top most entry for the hard drive, left hand panel, drive model number and size, and then the Partition tab. Repartition the drive as One Partition, You Must do that to get ride of the Mavericks Recovery HD partition which is hidden. Name the partition Macintosh HD with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Once that is done exit disk utility and select Reinstall Mac OS X.

  • HT1473 I want to keep my music on my external hard drive to free up room on my computer how do i get itunes to recognise the hard drive to play the music?

    I would like to keep all my music on my external hard drive but I can't seem to get itunes to recognise my hard drive.  How do I get itunes to recognise my hard drive so I can play the music off there rather than copying the files over each time?

    Click the icon to launch iTunes
    Immediately press and hold down the shift key
    Keep holding shift until asked to create or choose a library
    If iTunes opens normally close and go back to step 1.
    Browse to the iTunes Library.itl file you want to open.
