My iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation don´t show up anymore in iTunes after upgrade to iTunes 10.5 and MacOsX 10.6.8 Snow. What can I do??

I was using iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation together with iPod Shuffle 1st generation with inferior versions of iTunes and MacOS X without any problem. After I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6.8, the iPod Shuffle still appears in iTunes normally, but the iPods don´t appear. Its not a problem of the USB because because it happens with two different USB cables which worked just fine before. Any idea how I could get the iPods working again?? Thanks a lot!!!

I have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen, MacOS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.5, and my iPod still works when I plug it in.
So it's not the software, because mine still works. Do your iPods have a lock on them? If so, try unlocking them and then plugging them in, usually when your iPod has a passcode lock it won't show up in iTunes until you unlock it.

    It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.

  • IPod touch 32 GB (2nd generation) bricked

    I recently bought an iPod touch 32 GB (2nd generation). It was working just fine until Safari completely crashed and I had to perform a reset by holding down the Sleep/Wake and Home button (as described on the Apple Support site). After that the iPod touch just keeps hanging on Apple logo without loading the Home screen. Because of it iTunes can't connect with the iPod.
    This is the second time this has happened to me, the first time it completely bricked my iPod and I had to exchange it for a new one. I'm curious to what is causing my iPod touch to stay stuck after a reset with no apparent way to bring it back to a functional order.
    Any thoughts on the matter? Note that I'm using the original firmware (v2.1.1) and not some jailbreaked version.

    This happened to me as well but I found out by accident that when doing a hard reset (holding sleep and home buttons together) that it took my 2G 32GB iPod touch literally 10-15 minutes to restart itself after seeming to freeze at the Apple logo. In fact, I had tried to put it into DFU mode and got the same "software not installed" error in iTunes then did the hard reset and decided to wait. Then ~ 15 minutes later the iPod Touch started up like nothing had happened and I was able to do a restore in iTunes although it probably wasn't necessary but I decided to do one anyway. My iPod Touch has worked great since then.
    Needless to say, I made a suggestion to Apple through their feedback link that they need to have either a spinning circle or progress bar at that Apple logo screen so people don't think that they're bricked.
    I would try plugging your iPod Touch into a wall outlet adapter (USB may work but I didn't want it connected to the computer at all) or make sure you have a full battery then do a hard reset and wait a while, at least 30 minutes to an hour to see if it restarts itself then do a restore (optional) to be on the safe side. Hopefully that will work for you like it did for me.

  • Can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes after upgrading to Itunes 7

  • I have an Ipod touch 32 gb 2nd generation.  I was listening to it and it got hot and will not charge or turn on or do anything.  Can someone help?

    I was listening to my 32GB ipod touch 2nd generation and it got real hot and quit working.  i can not get it to do anything.  I have let it rest for several months and I can not get it to do anything.  Can anyone help?

    Do you have Apple Care for it?
    If not, you may want to walk it into the nearest Apple Store and ask for assistance there...
    Good luck in any case.

  • My iPod Shuffle 1st or 2nd generation is not recognized in iTunes

    We have had this iPod Shuffle since Aug 2008 I believe but only recently started using it.  It was working fine, but when connected to the docking station, I see the status light blick orange 3 times.  No recognition in iTunes.  I have restarted my computer, restarted the iPod, disconnected from the docking station and turned off and turned back on.  It seems to be getting a charge as the light turns green when you turn it on.  We did just get a new iPod a week ago and I don't know if that is some how confusing something.  My 5yr old is not understanding why I can't put different music on for him to dance to   If you can provide any help, I would appreciate it!!  I have a MacBook Pro and I am assuming since my iPhone charges and other iPods, it is just an issue with this earlier shuffle and not my USB ports

  • Touch 1st or 2nd Generation??

  • My music on the iPod touch 4g isn't sorted out by little sections anymore. For example songs with the letter A and then there will be a marker for all A lettered songs, but my ipod does not do that to all of my music. How can i fix this?

    My music on itunes doesn't have the markers anymore, how can i fix this?
    So my songs should be listed like this:
    A
    Advice
    B
    Bang
    C
    Chinter's will
    K
    KannaZuki No Miko
    L
    Lights

    The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

  • Safari says not connected to internet on certain sites when connection is good and IMG[] images don't show up anymore?

    I recently updated to 10.6.8 from 10.5.x and have been having some issues.  First, Safari will say that my computer is not connected to the internet, but it is.  I can be on YouTube, for example, and then try to go to eBay, and it will say not connected to internet, but I can go to Google and it will be fine without doing anything.  Almost like it cannot connect to the server, but the message is that I'm not connected to the internet.  I can turn Airport off and back on and get on most pages that wouldn't open originally.  It's not site-specific.  Sometimes it's Google, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, forums, etc. and other times those same sites work just fine. 
    The next problem, which I feel is related is that IMG[xxx] images won't open some of the time now on forums that have Photobucket and Tinypic IMG codes inserted into threads.  It will just show the blue box with a question mark.  I think that's because my Safari can't open the image hosting websites because sometimes when I click on the blue box to open the link, it says not connected to the internet and Photobucket seems to be one of the regular problem sites. 
    I've tried clearing my cache, reseting Safari, and a few other suggestions on here from similar problems, but I haven't seen a post describing my same issues exactly.  I have not tried Firefox and would prefer to keep using Safari. 

    Try repairing permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup  disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Select:  Repair Disk Permissions
    This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.
    When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • My iPad mini and iPhone 4s don't show airplay button since last iOS upgrade

    I have an airport express connected to a stereo system and I used to play music with airplay from iTunes in either device or even my computer. Now the button disappeared. How do I get it back.

    Yes, of course... I figured that wiht my iphone and now that I was trying to use the ipad I forgot it. Thanks for reminding me. It's so counter intuitive based on previous paradigm. All the outdated discussions are still popping up on help search and send you on a wild goose chase. Very frustrating.

  • What is the difference between 1st and 2nd generation of the Itouch?

    Can someone tell me the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation of the itouch? I'm looking to upgrade from my nano to a 32gb Itouch.

    The speaker is a big plus. Who wants to dig up their headphones just to play a quick game of Lux Touch or play with your light sabre without anyone else hearing the sound effects :)? The lack of a volume control is also a major complaint of IPT 1G users. The only thing that should swing you back to the 1G is the iPod accessories you already have that may be rendered obsolete.
