My new ipod device won't show up when opening itunes

I just received a refurbished iPod due to a defective one under warranty, but the device will not appear when I go to iTunes. My Mac has only version 10.4.11, and does not offer any software updates. How can I get my previously purchased apps and music in itunes to download to my new device if my new device does not appear??

- To sync with your computer you need to update the operating system on your computer to at least OSX 10.5.8. That is a paid update.
- You can redownload you apps (and your music if you are in a country with iCloud) by the following directly on your iPod assuming that the iPod has iOS 4.3.3 or later.

    I must have missed a step.  My old windows laptop died.  Tried syncing iTunes library from old laptop to new iPod touch.  Didn't work.  Downloaded iTunes to new windows laptop.  Logged into iTunes from new laptop and Authorized new windows laptop.  Uploaded a few CDs into new laptop's iTunes library.  Old purchased songs appeared on new laptop, however only uploaded songs from CDs will sync to new iPod touch. 
    Help!

  • My iPod Touch won't show up on my iTunes and I've tried all the suggestions on the support page.  What do I do now?

    I've had my iPod Touch for a couple years now and I went to upload music and a movie on it today and my Macbook wouldn't recognize it.  I tried the two other macs in my house and none of them recognized it.  I tried all the suggsetions from the support page, but none of them helped.  What else can I do?

  • Document Images won't show up when opened by Windows Users

    When using Pages or Microsoft Office 2004 for MAC to create documents that have .giff, .jpeg or.jpg images in them my Windows based recipients can not view the images.  This was also an issue with HTML pages I created in TextEdit.  The recipient can see everything in the document or page except the images which have a red "x" or a blank screen with a message that states "quicktime and a decompressor are needed to view this file".  It even happens when the recipient has the same update of quicktime that I do and when I use MAC's Grab utility....Please help, this issue is adversly affecting my grade in technology class and since the instructor is not a MAC user they have offered no help or sympathy. What's really frustrating was there was no issues viewing images in documents before the end of March.

    All documents have a .doc extension and again I have to ask why one picture on the same document might show but not the other and why this only started at the end of March?  This was not an issue I had before then.  I could try saving as a PDF but the assignments must be turned in as a .doc or .rtf so a PDF format would not help me. I have the same issue whether I use .rtf or .doc.  I assume it is a Quicktime issue or a setting I have made or changed.  I read a few online forums where people had difficulting viewing images in PP or QT and they attributed it to a bug in the QT update that could onlybe fixed with a complete OS re-install and not reinstalling QT.  It makes sense in someways, given that this is a new issue, however why does it randomly select images?  I can't afford a complete OS install.  I guess I will have to take both my PC and MAC to the Apple store an hour from here and have someone look at what I'm experiencing.  Another hassel I was hoping to avoid, but I can't keep ignoring random loss of images for the rest of my life and I get the feeling this is an issue that doesn't have a forum answer.
    Thanks for trying though....

  • Song in itunes library not showing up when opening itunes.

    Computer crashed. Had to install itunes again. My songs Library do not show in itunes. But if I search for them I can see the folders.

  • Why is an iphone connection show up when opening iTunes

    When I open iTunes on my Mac, why is my iPhone appear on the left margin as if it is plugged up to my computer?

    Sounds like you have wi-fi syncing enabled on your iPhone.  But just because you see it in iTunes doesn't mean syncing has commenced.  Normally that happens only while on external power, or if you manually initiate the wi-fi sync.

    Try

    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
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • I have an old Ipod that won't show up on Windows Explorer but shows in Itunes., I have an old Ipod that won't show up on Windows Explorer but shows in Itunes.

    I have an old Ipod that won't show up on Windows Explorer but shows in Itunes., I have an old Ipod that won't show up on Windows Explorer but shows in Itunes.

    In iTunes, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.
    There should be a checkbox that says Enable disk use.  Check it and Apply the change.  It should now appear in Windows, when the iPod is connected.
    NOTE:  When Disk Use is enable, you have to eject the iPod (in iTunes) before physically disconnecting it from computer.

  • New ipod touch won't connect to itunes

    My new iPod touch won't connect to itunes on my iMac.  I have several devices already connected to this itunes library, any suggestions?  Thanks.

    You need iTunes 10.5 or later and that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

  • New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

    New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

    No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
    A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6.8 here:

  • My 2nd Gen iPod Touch won't show up in iTunes but does appear in My Computer

    When I connect my 2nd Generation iPod touch to my laptop it will not appear in iTunes. It does, however, appear in my Computer.
    I have worked through all of the troubleshooting guides on the Apple Support section, and have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice.
    This message appears every time I plug my iPod in, and frequently whilst it is still plugged in charging:
    'MobileMe Service has stopped working.' This is a pop-up window produced by Windows, I know this is the 'service' that picks up an iPod's prescence but stopping and restarting the service does nothing. My iPod still won't show up.
    Please help, I am willing to faff around a bit. Might it be a problem with Windows itself? If so, how would I go about fixing it?
    Thanks in advance,
    P.S I have the latest version of iTunes, and the operating system of my iPod is 4.2.1.
    My version of Windows Vista is 32-bit.

    I have the same problem with my 2nd gen itouch.
    I've tried other computer and my childrens iPods work on my computer so not a windows problem.  I've tried reinstalling iTunes and resetting itouch as per apple support pages but nothing, it doesn't even show on my computer. Any help greatly appreciated :-)

  • My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.

    My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.  I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now".  I can't press the okay button to start the download.  What should I do?  All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
