My ipod won't show on Itunes or Mac

Hi.
I have my Ipod since a few years and it has always work good. I think it's Nano gen 5 (the first one with a camera). Before, I was able to syncronize it with Itunes without any problems but now I can't see it anywhere, like it's not connected to my Mac.
I know that the problem isn't the outlet on my ipod because I can charge it on my stereo system. And it's not the USB on my computer either cause everything else is working. So I can't see where the problem is.... I have the latest version of Itunes and my ipod is charged. It also doesn't show on my computer at all, anywhere (doen't appear in the finder). Help? Please..!

In a situation with a data connection problem, there are four possibilities
Software on computer - Since you said it worked before, assuming there have been no drastic changes to your system, you can probably rule out a software problem on the computer.
USB port on computer - If you have not already, I would shut down (power off not just restart) the Mac and disconnect all USB devices, including any hubs.  Start up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected (if normally used).  Do a Reset of the iPod again
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
Run iTunes and connect the iPod (by itself) to a direct USB port on computer.  The fact that you said it charges on your "stereo system" but it does not on the Mac's USB port (same cable?) makes me think there may have been a temporary issue with the USB port, or some conflict with other connected USB devices. But if this test does not help, since you have confirmed the port works with other devices, you can rule out USB port problem.
USB docking cable - You can rule out a faulty cable by trying another Apple device with the cable you have, or by trying another (known-good) cable with your iPod.
If you can rule out these three things, the fourth possibility is a hardware problem on the iPod. Although you said it charges on you "stereo system," the cause could still be the iPod's dock connector, because it has different "pins" for data and for power.  Or it could be a problem on the logic board.  Or something else.

  • Replacement iPod won't show in iTunes 6.0.5

    I purchased a 60GB video iPod Feb 2006 from the online store and the HOLD button stopped working, 3 days ago.
    I went to an Apple retail store and received a brand new replacement iPod against the 1 year warranty.
    I brought the new iPod home and it spent 1 1/2 days reloading my music (6,844 songs, no pic, no vids).
    Everything was fine :)
    I made several changes to songs in my iTunes and added more music and connected the new iPod to my Dock:
    1) The iPod appears on my Desktop like usual, but not in iTunes.
    2) All of the icons in the menu bar on the top right corner, flash continuously.
    3) When I have another App open while the iPod is still connected, iTunes keeps popping to the front, as if something is going to change/update, but nothing ever happens. And when I switch back to the app I was using, iTunes just poppes back to the front again. I tried quitting iTunes, but it just opens itself back up again.
    4) I left the iPod connected and iTunes open during this weird behavior, thinking maybe it's just taking longer to update, but after 4 hours, there's been no change.
    5) I've tried 4 out of 5 of the R's, haven't tried RESTORE just yet.
    6) I opened iSync app just to see if the iPod would be recognized, and it was BUT it gave an error after updating saying the iPod was not available for an update.
    7) I have not and will not be updating to iTunes 7 or 7.0.1 because I am still running OSX 10.2.8. I am using iTunes version 6.0.5
    What in the world could have happened in only a matter of hours to this iPod?

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • IPOD won't connect to ITunes.  Mac OS Can't repair the disc and Partition Failed.  Help!!

    Hello,
    I am distraught because my IPod Classic won't connect to ITunes.  My Mac won't even recognize it after a few seconds, and I have to keep resetting for the Mac to recognize it.  Mac OS can't repair the disk, and said to reformat.  I tried to partition, but that failed with the error message: couldn't unmount disc.  I don't mind losing all the files, and am really just hoping that it will work again.  I have virtually zero technical knowledge, and thought I might reach out to see if any savvy users know a trick or two that I might try. 
    Thanks for all your help,

  • New ipod won't show on itunes but old ipod will

    I bought a brand new 5th gen ipod and installed the software and it only installed the ipod updater, so as i already have a 3rd gen ipod and itunes on the computer i uninstalled all ipod and itunes software that had previously been downloaded and started again from scratch with the new ipod. This time it downloaded itunes as well as the ipod software but did not ask me if my new ipod needed configuring. After restarting my computer as suggested i connected the new ipod to the computer and it shows up on windows as new hardware been installed but nothing else happens. It doesn't show up in itunes or ipod updater, however the old ipod does.
    Can anyone please help me?

  • Ipod won't show on Itunes nor Computer

    Ok, i'm sure that this question was frequently asked on this fourm, but i really do not want to take the time in searching. Recently, my computer was whipped out and all my songs were deleted. So now i'm on my laptop, and i want to undate it. I found my songs, put it on itunes 7. But when i plug my ipod to the laptop, nothing shows up. Others may say that the computer might mistaken it as something else, and i tried to follow every instruction it says, but there is the point when the lab is not there, and i can't change it...

    I would definitely check if your computer meets system requirements for the iPod. You can determine this by going here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1447
    Another suggestion, is to make sure your USB drivers are up to date. Take a walk through this article. It's pretty easy to follow and may resolve your issue:

  • 2nd gen ipod won't show in itunes after 7.3.1.3 update - win xp

    hi.
    home built xp pro Sp 2 machine - NO USB 2.0 ports. 1 gig ram
    iPod Nano 4 gig, been working fine since september.
    iTunes decides to update to 7.3.1.3 last night overnight.
    It updates but I forgot to reset in the morning.
    plugged in the ipod to charge/sync. itunes didn't come up.
    realized I had to reboot after the update. did that.
    itunes came up and updated my saved music library on the pc. (89 gig, btw) This took several hours.
    plugged ipod back in. iTunes didn't see it. This was on a hub. tried it on a port on the motherboard. iTunes saw it & started to sync. Great! Then after about 3 minutes of syncing I got an error saying that "this device cannot be synced, the folder could not be found."
    WHAT FOLDER IS IT TALKING ABOUT?!?!
    Since then, I cannot get iTunes to see my iPod, The iPod registers that the device is connected and charges but windows says the device has failed to install & device manager tells me "Unknown device" (yes I did have it configured for disk use.) and iTunes will not bring up the device to sync.
    I've tried resetting & reconnecting.
    I'm leery of re-installing because I do not want to have to re-load & re-register 89 gig of music in my iTunes library.
    Since when has a USB 2.0 port become required for functioning?

    Well you tried 'everything', that I thought of, I would think that Antivirus is the main culprit or that install a Windows Plugin that emulates Mac OS X.
    Anyway here is a helpful link from CHG, http://cahwyguy.livejournal.com/1220479.html
    Read the 4th Paragraph on disk diagnostic, it may tell you that your hardisk is dying and need to be replaced.
    Good Luck!

  • Ipod won't connect to itunes on Mac

    Updated to 2.0 this evening and now my itunes on my mac won't recognize my ipod. It keeps throwing error 0xE800001 at me. Everything worked fine when I started the update. I've tried it on several ports on my computer all with the same issue.
    Funny thing is it works on my PC laptop but not my Mac Pro.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    On and I have tried to restore the ipod several times, including deleting the iphone 2.0 update from the computer and having it download a fresh one. All to no avail.

  • My iPod won't show up in iTunes but it does in my pc, isn't iTunes problem!

    My iPod won't show up in iTunes, but it does in My Pc. And I want to say that is not an iTunes problen, cause I have an iPod nano, and it works perfect with iTunes and with windows. My iPod won't show up in any computer at all, so I have read all the articles here in Support, and none of them give me a solution. I need to restore my iPod but I can't cause doesn't appear in the source list in iTunes. Do I have to send it to Technical Support? Please Help Me someone, cause I've been posting messages for one week now, and I haven't got an answer!! Pleaseee!!

    You can try putting it into disk mode to see if it makes it easier on iTunes to recognize it.
    To put your iPod into disk mode:
    1) make sure your hold switch is OFF (NO ORANGE SHOWING)
    2) hold the menu button and the center button at the same time for about 6-10 seconds until you see an apple logo
    3) AS SOON AS you see the apple logo, release the two buttons and hold down center and play/pause
    4) If you've done this properly you should now see Disk Mode Ok To Disconnect with a checkmark (when connected to your computer you should see Do Not Disconnect with Disk Mode at the top)
    After you have the iPod in disk mode...see if iTunes picks it up then.
    Keep me update.

    my ipod won't show up on my computer. I have another ipod touch, that works fine. What should I do? Do I need a different ipo usb cord for the nano?

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.

  • Help!!! iPod won't sync with iTunes, iTunes freezes!

    Hello, I'm sorry if this topic is already in an other one, but I couldn't find it.
    First of all, I'm very pleased with my iPod Classic 160Gb, finally I can carry my complete collection with me. Since I'd installed the 8.0.1 update for iTunes, my iTunes freezes immediately, and my iPod won't show up in iTunes, and the screen of the Classic is stuck on "Connected".
    If I don't connect, iTunes works perfectly, even with my iPhone (Everything works smoothly).
    What is the problem?, I've tried everything, Reboot iPod Classic 160 Gb, reïnstall iTunes (complete deinstallation), i tried different USB-ports of my laptop, other USB-cabel, reboot PC. All updates, even my USB-ports. Can somebody please tell me what's happening? And solve my problem?
    I didn't found this same problem in any of other topics, if someone finds the same topic WITH an answer, I would be pleased.

    Ok seriously. We pay way too much for these things for crap like this to happen all the time. Apple has us all by the gonads b/c they know we can't get them to work any other way.
    Friday, my 80G classic worked just freaking fine on my home computer. After I reinstalled it b/c of some error with quicktime. I also connected it to my brother's laptop over the weekend it did fine. Used it on work computer today worked fine---after I had to uninstall and reinstall quicktime.
    Loaded the iTunes upgrade on work computer today, seemed to work fine after that.
    Now at home I get the following error: Your iPod needs to be reformatted for use with Windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your iPod now?
    I've tried for weeks now to back up my iTunes on both my computers and it always freezes. I was hoping after the new version this would be fixed. NOT so much.
    So in a nut shell....I CAN'T back up my stuff, b/c iTunes *****. Now in order to use it I have to reformat my iPod, which will erase all my stuff. So I'm SCREWED. I'm not usually a hostile person, but at this point I could scream!!!!!
    the apple/iTunes support team has been nothing but helpful on some duplicate song issues I've had in the past. Why in the H*LL can't they freaking fix this???
    If I have to reload 80G it won't be on an iPod. I'll sell the **** thing to some other sucker, find something else, or for pete's sake, go back to CDs.
    Don't tell me Apple doesn't have enough money or enough geniuses (genii) to figure this out with out it causing my time and money I've already spent.
    Rant over....

  • 20g ipod won't show on computer

    my ipod won't show up on my computer anywhere, it is making wierd hard drive noise, can someone please help me.

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”
    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning ! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery replacement (with pictures)
    http://www.kokopellimusic.us/KM_instructions.htm
    Have I tried this myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
    2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”
    What should I do with my iPod? Send it or keep it?

  • IPod won't mount in iTunes

    Hello there,
    I have a 20gb iPod that's nearly 3 years old & my PC is running Windows XP Professional with SP2. And I've got the latest version of iTunes (7.4.3).
    Recently my iPod started behaving strangely, skipping during songs sometimes, and sometimes hanging for several seconds whilst playing.
    Anyway, my big problem now is that the iPod won't mount in iTunes & iTunes hangs for ages when the iPod is connected.
    The iPod comes up in Windows Explorer as a Removeable Drive called "Apple iPod". This leads me to believe that I may have accidentally put it into disc mode?
    All the troubleshooting advice I've read suggests that if I can only get iTunes to recognise it, then iTunes should then automatically load the required software on to the iPod & everything will be hunky dory. That sounds all very well & good but iTunes is not currently seeing the iPod so it's not doing that.
    As I've said, the iPod comes up in Windows Explorer, but if I do anything with it, even just right-clicking on it for example, Windows Explorer hangs as well.
    Grrrrrrrr!!
    I know it is not a cable problem or a PC problem as I have tried several different cables & 3 different PCs, all with the same results.
    Please help!

    I'm having a similar problem with my sons 3 generation Ipod Nano.
    When I plug in my sons Ipod into my Apple G5 running OS X Version 10.4.11 and Apple Itunes 9.0.2... I too can't mount the Ipod on to Itunes.
    What I found is that my son plugged his Ipod into a Windows laptop and reformatted his Ipod by accident for MS Windows... now my son is only 10 and didn't know what he was doing and would admit he did it.
    How I found out was when I plugged in the two Ipods and hit Get Info
    His Ipod Nano had: FORMAT: MS-DOS File System (FAT32)
    and my Ipod Nano had: FORMAT: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    I asked him and he admitted that... that's what he did... this is after 5 hours of trying to mount his Ipod.
    Now here's the problem: His music and my music is all in the same account on the same computer (That being my G5)
    My G5 running the most recent version of Itunes 9.0.2 recognizes all of our other Ipods except his which just shows up on the desktop of my computer... BUT DOES NOT DOW UP IN ITUNES UNDER DEVICES like all the other Ipods.
    What I think I need to do is re format his Ipod Nano for Mac... Only problem is Itunes 9.0.2 doesn't allow that to happen.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

  • Triangle by iPod won't show up...at all.

    The disclosure triangle that is supposed to be to the left of the name of my iPod won't show up at all. It did once and that is it. I have restarted and restarted, unplugged and replugged, logged-in and logged-out, and exited iTunes numerous times and I can't get the arrow to show up. It is a pain and I was hoping that someone has experienced this before and can give me some suggestions. I'm relatively new to iPod/iTunes and I am just very frustrated and would like to manually put songs on my iPod but w/out the triangle to the left...I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance!
    Dell Inspiron 9100   Windows XP  

    I do have music on my iPod. When I first plugged it in it automatically put music on it. Then when the triangle appeared I could get to the summary tab and selected the manually sync music...and then I deleted some music I didn't want on it and ever since...no triangle. I can't even get to the summary tab w/out the triangle..can I? Thanks for your help...but I'm not sure the problem has been solved...

    I got frustrated when changing my password and ended up getting about five e-mails from Apple, saying the same thing.  Now my ipod won't show up in the itunes window.

  • IPod won't show up - firewire dead?

    My iPod won't show up on my Power Mac G4. Not it iTunes or in Finder. It does charge though. I had a M-Audio FireWire 410 that I unplugged while PM was running. Since then my FireWire devices won't show up in the computer.
    How can I find out if my firewire ports are dead?

    Here's my offering:
    Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
    First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
    Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
    If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.3.9 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
    If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
    For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
    Good Luck!
    Cheers!
