My ipod touch shows up in Itunes, but does not display sync screen.

It does not sync or backup. The backup bar gets stuck at about 5%. I have removed and reinstalled iTunes several times and still nothing. I have also restored the ipod and that did nothing as well. Please help

No error messages. I just can't drag anything into my music folder and if I check a playlist, artist, song or anything the "apply" button stays greyed out and I can't sync.

I plug my iPod touch into my new macbook pro and the iPod icon shows up in iTunes, but does not show up anywhere in the finder or on my desktop...?

I need to transfer the music off of my ipod onto my mac but i cannot do that when my macbook will not recognize my ipod touch in the finder.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

HT201263 My iPod Touch shows the Apple logo but does not respond to holding the home and lock buttons or being plugged in. iTunes does not recognize it either

I plugged my iPod into my computer to retore it and proceeded to do so as told. The only thing that happened after that was that the Apple logo keeps showing up and nothing else. My computer/iTunes no longer recognizes my iPod either.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Ipod Touch Shows Up Into Itunes, But I Can Click On It To Sync, Its Locked Or Something?

Hi, i need Help, ever since i updated iTunes to the newest one i been having an issue, i plug in my ipod touch 5g and it shows up in itunes, but problem is i cant click on it, shows my device is plugged in but its locked or something and i cant open it to sync my ipod. as seen in picture the device shows up but i cant click on it wont let me, i cant go to the sync page.

That means that iTunes is not seeing the iPod properly. Try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
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
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IPod Touch listed device in iTunes, but no option to sync

I am having a problem syncing my 4th gen iPod Touch with iTunes on a Windows Vista Ultimate PC. Here are the symptoms of my issue:
I have connected the iPod Touch with its USB adapter to the PC.
The iPod shows as a connected Portable Device in Computer in Windows.
The iPod charges while connected.
When I connect the iPod to the PC, iTunes opens automatically. The iPod is listed under "Devices" in iTunes, but when I click on the device, the screen just shows an iPod logo. I do not see the tabs ("Summary", "Apps", "Music", "Movies", etc.) and no summary information about the iPod is displayed.
When I right-click on the iPod under Devices, the only menu option is "Eject". In addition, the "File" menu options "Sync Songs on iPod" and "Transfer Purchases from iPod" are greyed out/not available.
I have tried using a different USB port, powering off the iPod, restarting the computer, and checking that the iPod shows as functioning in Device Manager in Windows.
I have the latest version of iTunes (10.4.0.80)
I have synced three other iPods successfully to this PC with this version of iTunes (each iPod, including the one with which I am having the problem, syncs to iTunes on a separate Windows User account to keep the libraries separate). Therefore, I don't believe there is a problem with my installation of iTunes.
Given this background, does anyone have any ideas how I can get this iPod to sync with iTunes? Thank you in advance for any advice you might be able to give me.
Regards-
BPT

Ipod touch 5 recognized by Itunes, but won't actually sync

Hi ~
I recently updated my itunes and ipod software. Now, my ipod touch 5 does not sync correctly. I go through all the motions of syncing my ipod, and itunes said it synced with my ipod, but I do not see the changes on my actual ipod. It is like there is a disconnect between my ipod and itunes, even though itunes thinks is has synced my ipod. None of my new playlists have transferred over to my ipod, and none of my new music from CDs has transferred either. My purchased music is fine of course.
Also, when I do sync my ipod, the little explanation of what's going on during the sync seems odd. It never says the items that it is transferring. All it desribes are "photos," "looking for apps to update," and "waiting to apply new changes." Nothing about music. This seemed odd to me because this was not like this before I updated, when I got a detailed description of the music that was being transferred.
Help please! I have tried rebooting my ipod, restarting itunes, authorizing my computer again, and re-syncing my entire library. The itunes software recognizes all of these changes, but not the ipod.
Thanks ~

Carolyn, does actually work? I've heard people tried that with no changes after. :(
miss elinor if you try it please let us know how you get on x

Ipod Nano detected by Windows & Itunes but Does not Show up in Itunes

Please help....
Brand new Ipod Nano 1 gig.
Shows up in itunes when I go under help and the diagnostics tab...(itunes fully updated)
Shows up in my computer
did the drive letter thing
turned the power option for the my usb to always on...
The diagnostics from itunes shows I'm runnning firmware version 1.1 on my ipod nano which makes sense because I'm unable to update the software because itunes will not recognize it in the main menu.
I have another ipod hooked up to this computer occassionally.
Not at the same time though....
Please help!

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device. I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy! Thanks for any help you can offer.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?

Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear? The computer seems to recognize it as a camera device, rather than a mass storage device. Does this have anything to do with the problem? When plugged in, a window pops up asking which photo program you'd like to use, and if you cancel, that's it. Even if you try to open a photo program, and download your photos off of the ipod, it still won't show up in itunes.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

IPod Touch shows plug into iTunes

iPod Touch shows plug into iTunes. I did this, it took 2 hrs. to update then tells me it doesn't see the device to Restore. I see the iPod icon in the left column under devices.

What fixes many problems in programs is to uninstall and reinstall. If you lose all your apps and music, and the problem is not fixed, I give you the right to curse as loud as you want.

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.
Here is an article you can refer to below:
