My mac air doesn't see my iPod in devices

My Mac air doesn't recognize my ipod in devices - any one know what the answer is?  It' the latest 6th generation so not old.

In iTunes? That's the only place you'll find it.

  • My Power Mac G5 doesn't see my Firewire connected devices..

    Both my Firewire devices are not being recognized by my Power Mac G5. My captured material is on a Maxtor One Touch II Drive connected via FW 800 and my Sony Dsr 11 is connected via FW 400. Both stopped being recognized at the same time. If it was only one device I would guess it was FW cable causing the problem. Does anyone have any advice?

    In addition to what Christina said...you could also try swapping the FW cables front/back. IIRC, our 'dead' G5 preferred certain FW devices to be connected to certain ports.
    Also, when rebooting...go for the 'Guinness Solution'. Shut everything down, have a Guinness/beverage of choice/take a walk, (this allows the FW connection to 'reset'.
    Then power on the deck first. Check System Profiler to confirm that the G5 'sees' that device, then FCP should see it as well.
    Another option is to get an eSata or FW PCI card. Even though Macs have multiple FW ports, they're still running on the same buss. The PCI card provides another buss. If you go that route, research thoroughly to make sure you purchase the correct type for your model of G5.
    Hope that helps,

    EDIT...have you done any recent software updates? Your profile lists G5/FCP6/Leopard, which should be fine, but some QT updates can cause issues. Let us know exact version of QT you're running.

  • Updated to Itunes 7.0.1, doesn't see my ipod via USB1.1!!

    Hi
    My itunes/ipod were running fine under USB 1.1 (older computer) until I updated to 7.0.1 - now itunes doesn't see my ipod!! The iPod shows up in device manager, though, and my machine even mapped a drive to it when iTunes timed out (I removed that).
    Everything was fine until I updated. sigh.
    I found an Apple page that said they don't "support' USB 1.1 - could it be that iTunes 7.0.1 just doesn't?
    thanks in advance for any help!

    yup same here
    its a crapshoot, sometimes it happens other times it does not
    only way round this i found is to do this:
    reboot windows
    and reboot iphone
    eventually they will see each other.
    what causes it? poorly coded itunes for windows, who knows.
    but its something i've had for many versions now, 9.2.1 is nothing new. but it does seem to happen more now.

  • Mac Pro doesn't see third monitor

    Guys:
    My Mac Pro doesn't see all three of the monitors that I have hooked up...what am I doing wrong?
    I previously came to you for your expert advice about video cards...I went and upgraded my Radeon 4870 which was running two monitors (Eizo and NEC) to a ATI Radeon 5870 in order to run three monitors (my new Cintiq)
    When the Cintiq was not hooked up yet, the Mac saw the Eizo and NEC. When I connected the Cintiq...the Cintiq and the NEC show up but not the Eizo.
    I went and upgraded the video card so I could run all three monitors because I didn't want to plug and unplug the Cintiq whenever I needed it. I believe I did my due diligence as far as research was concerned to ensure this would all work together...I'll be pretty bummed if this configuration can't do three monitors not to mention the financial cost.
    Any help would be appreciated...as always.
    Thanks!

    I read your links, if I understand correctly, it may work with Dual Link DVI adapters?
    My monitor connections are:
    Eizo: DVI with the cord that came with the monitor (unsure if DVI single or dual link)
    NEC: VGA to mini display
    Cintiq: DVI to mini display (think it is a single link DVI)
    Thanks!...so what do I need to go buy?
    Here's a partial answer (need more info to answer about single vs. dual link, more about that later).
    In the Mac Pro (Mid 2010)... document I referenced above there's a key note:
    Note: The Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adaptor and Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor are considered active adaptors.
    So if you get the apple mini-displayport to VGA adaptor that will count as one of the active adaptors.  I use one of those incidentially but I am not sure but it may be that all mini-displayport to VGA adaptors are consider "active".
    Now for the single vs. dual link DVI question.  It depends on the max resolution of those monitors (or the max you want to run them at).  Single link DVI has a max resolution of 1920 x 1200, while dual link DVI can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600.  So that's why I cannot answer this part of your question (you didn't specify the max resolution).  If you only need single link active adaptors they will certainly be a lot cheaper than dual link. 
    Also note, you should only need two active adaptors on the card to support 3 monitors.  So only one of the remaining connections needs to be an active adaptor.  The other can be passive (much cheaper).

  • TS2057 mac mini doesn't see dvd

    Recently my mac mini doesn't see dvd's when i put them in to play.

    I have to agree with Dah●veed and use an > LG GE24LU20 Reviews that I call Brutus.
    Not only has Brutus spared the SuperDrives in both my 2006 iMac and 2010 Mac Mini, but he runs circles around the SuperDrives when it come to burning, importing, playing, even booting from System Install and Upgrade Disc's.
    Other External DVD Drives that are highly reccommended here in the forums, are:
    OWC's > SuperDrive DVD, DVD Dual-Layer, CD-R/RW, Blu-Ray Optical Drive Solutions FireWire, USB2, eSATA
    and the LaCie's > LaCie - LightScribe DVD±RW, Duplicators and Blu-ray - USB 2.0 & FireWire

  • Windows doesn't see my iPod

    I had my ipod connected and it worked just fine, I had to force my computer to turn off, hold down the power button, and now my computer doesn't see my iPod. I tried the data mode and the resetting and the restarting the computer. I can't restore the ipod, because I can't get the computer to see it. The ipod alone works wonderfully and it is charging. So it sees that it is connected to the computer, but the computer doesn't see it. Any ideas?

    I cannot download my new music because my ipod is not recognized. My usb port is working, I downloaded the new ipod version for nano and it is still not working. It does recharge when plugged in so why wont it recognize my ipod when plugged in ? Any help most appreciated.

  • ITunes doesn't see my iPod video 30 gb! Please help me!

    When i connect by usb 2.0 my iPod, the pc see the iPod as an external drive and It seems to be empty, while iTunes says that there isn't any iPod connected. The latest iPod software is installed. Opening the iPod while it isn't connected to the pc, there isn't any file but in the settings is written that almost 10 gb are full and 20 gb are free: this should be ok because before that these problems appeared that was the memory used. Of course I can't update the iPod or reset it to default because the iPod updater doesn't see any iPod connected to the pc while it is really connected... Well, windows sees my iPod while iTunes doesn't see it so i can't make any operation on the iPod and when it isn't connected to the pc i can't listen to the music... Please sombody help me!

    I've reinstalled iTunes 7, restarted all the services and had no detection yet.
    I re-installed iTunes 6.0.5 and it worked w/out a hitch.
    Does this have something to do with my pc not having any firewire ports on it? Or is there a work around ?

    Ok, I have been able to fool iTunes and my iPod to at least get it up to firmware version 1.2 BUT still doesn't see my iPod until I kill the iPod service then start iTunes. And this gets better, after it sees it my iPod drops and acts like it's disconnected yet my computer still sees it as connected!
    I too don't want to go back to iTunes 6 but it may have to come down to this.
    To regain your Library all you have to do is get ride of the xml config files and config folders, just leave your music folder and re-import your music files in 6 and you'll be set.

  • My Mac Mini doesn't start up when usb devices are plugged in.

    My Mac Mini doesn't start up when usb devices are plugged in.
    It just shows the "White screen of Death" when 1 or more usb ports are used.

    Haha. I just restarted it and it worked. Instead of turning it off and on. But thanks.
    By the way:
    Note: It is possible that the SMC could encounter an issue that may cause unusual system behavior typically related to the symptoms described below. In some cases, resetting the SMC may be the only correct method to resolve the issue, however, an SMC reset should only be attempted after all other standard troubleshooting has been performed.
    So I hope it is fixed for now. But could someone also post another solution?
