My new ipod nano appears on my desktop but not in iTunes

Initially the setup of the iPod nano work perfectly on the iMac, it came up in iTunes and synced everything without a problem. I then plugged it into my Macbook Pro just to charge it and it came up in iTunes yet I never synced it.
Later I went to sync music onto the nano from the iMac and it is appearing on my desktop, not in iTunes. I have tried reseting the computer, changing USB ports, restting the iPod and nothing has worked. What should I do??

Hello!
You need to put your iPod into Forced Disk Mode and restore it using iTunes.
Try resetting your iPod by following these steps:
1. toggle to hold switch on and then off again
2. press the Menu and Center/Select buttons together until the screen goes black (should take no longer then 30 seconds)
3. as soon as you see the Apple logo let up on the buttons and press down the Center/Select and Play/Pause buttons until a checkmark appears on the screen.
4. connect your iPod to your computer and restore thru iTunes

IPod Classic 80GB shows on desktop but not in iTunes, so will not sync

My work Mac has just been upgraded to 10.5.8, and with it iTunes to 10.1. Now, when I connect my iPod, it appears on the desktop but not in the iTunes panel. As such, it won't sync any new content.
There is no problem with the cable, as the iPod charges while connected. I've tried resetting the iPod about a dozen times, which has no effect (once in a while the iPod says it is synchronizing, but this only lasts a few seconds and then disappears). Is there anything else I should try before I take the big step of formatting the iPod? I'm reluctant to do this because at the moment I at least have an iPod full of music - if I format and it still won't sync, I'll have a useless empty black box! Is it possible to go back to the previous version of iTunes which was syncing fine?

Have you seen this?
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.

My ipod shows up on my desktop, but not in itunes 7.

Let me start out by saying I've never had any itunes + ipod probems before. Everything has run smoothly up until now.
Last week I upgraded my OS to 10.4.7 because I had been running on 10.2.8 since 2001 and itunes wouldn't let me download albums containing music videos. So I decided it was time for the upgrade. I also upgraded to itunes 7 and had been previously using itunes 6. This is when the problems started. Now whenever I plug my ipod into my computer with my firewire cord, my ipod shows up on my desktop, but not in itunes and I am completely clueless on what to do. No error messages pop up or anything. My ipod charges and that's about it. I tried doing the 5 R's, but none of that helps. I have a feeling it's itunes's problem and not my ipod's. I was thinking that maybe if I uninstall itunes 7 and re-install 6, everyting would work again; but I don't know how to uninstall itunes and I don't want to risk losing my library. I'd just like for itunes 7 to recognise my ipod and update it. Can anyone help me?

My iPod is a click wheel...I think that's fifth generation?
I've always used my firewire cable to update my iPod. I've tried using USB in the past but for some reason it always says that my iPod has low battery and won't let me update it, so I just use firewire. Can I not use firewire with itunes 7?
I'll try using the USB again. It's laying around here somewhere. Just gotta find it.

IPod Mini is on the desktop, but not in iTunes

I know a variation of this question has been asked a zillion times, but for some reason I can't seem to find the answer. Anyway, I'm a recent switcher to Mac and used my mini for years on the PC, but when I hooked up the mini to my new iMac it only shows up on the desktop, not in iTunes. However, when I plug it into the USB port it actually opens iTunes, but just doesn't show up. Anyway, I saw some other posts about running a restore via iPod Updater in the Utilities folder, however, there's no iPod updater in my utilities folder. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any help here?

I can see my ipod noano 2nd generation under finder but not under itunes. I can't upgrade the music on the ipod nano if itunes doesn't show it. How can't I fix this problem?

See this article first.

If still no luck, try a low level format of the iPod using Disk Utility and the instructions provided in this article.

IPod nano recognized in MY Computer but not in iTunes

My iPod nano is recognized under My Computer but not in iTunes.
I formaatted the iPod nano as FAT32 using the format option when right-clicking on the drive in My Computer.
I installed the latest version of iTunes software. I adopted the five R's approach to resolve my issue. I have wanted to restore the iPod but this option is not available in iTunes, since the iPod is not recognised by the software.
The iPod diagnostics option in iTunes indicates the following:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Dell Computer Corp. Latitude L400
iTunes 7.0.2.16

IPod nano appears as USB drive, but unrecognised by iTunes for Windows

I have a video iPod, and my daughter has a iPod nano. Yesterday, when I tried to load new songs on the nano, iTunes failed to recognize it. I tried the 5 R's -- I am able to update the nano using the iPod updater, and I tried updating, as well as restoring. the iPod updater is able to see the nano and I was able to restore. So now I have a nano that I am able to navigate the menus of, but thee is no music on it of course.
The nano is not recognized by a second computer as well. The video iPod is recognized by both computers, so I suspect the problem is with the nano.
We use the same user account for both devices, and it has worked without a flaw for the past 2 months.
Does any one have suggestions?

Pentium 4, 2 GHz, 512 MB Windows XP

Problem solved
The fact that the Nano did not work on both computers was a coincidence.
Apple uses a special driver for the iPod disk (I suppose there is a packet filter or some special function in their driver that must sit between iTunes and the standard flash drive driver).
I updated the Nano again, and deleted as many of the hidden USB drivers as possible from the device manager. Then I connected the Nano to a new USB port and that did the trick.
I have not tried attaching the Nano to the old USB port yet.
Windows is terrible at managing drivers -- there is no systematic way of figuring out associations between drivers and software components. Perhaps someone from Apple could post a detailed method paper on how to identify and get rid of drivers installed when you use iTunes and the iPod, so that Windows can pick it up again.
When I connected my video iPod yesterday, it prompted me to update it, but I am the wiser now. I am going to avoid updating iTunes or the iPod software as far as possible.

NANO SHOWS UP IN DESKTOP BUT NOT IN ITUNES

I have a Mac OS X computer. When I plug in my iPod nano to the computer, it shows up on the desktop, but it will NOT show up in iTunes!!

If you use USB instead of FireWire to connect, it won't appear in iTunes unless you update to Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later. If you can't update your software, then use FireWire instead. Note: iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod (5th generation), and iPod classic can only sync via USB.

IPod is seen on the desktop but not in iTunes

I have a 20gig standard iPod that I purchased a year ago, and a few days ago all of the songs on it just dissappeared and it is no longer recognized in iTunes. But it does show up on the desktop and I can few files I have saved on it. Is there a way to fix this?

Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter: Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management. Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”. Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused. Usually, “M”, “N”, “O”, or something similar.
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Also try this (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.

Ipod classic shows on mac desktop, but not in itunes

I have an ipod classic that connects fine to my dell computer (with Windows 7) but when I try to connect it to my MacBook Air it shows up on my desktop but won't connect to itunes. I've made sure I have the most current version of itunes, and have tried multiple ways of plugging it in and have restarted my computer, but I still can't get it to show up. Please help!

Hello!
You need to put your iPod into Forced Disk Mode and restore it using iTunes.
Try resetting your iPod by following these steps:
1. toggle to hold switch on and then off again
2. press the Menu and Center/Select buttons together until the screen goes black (should take no longer then 30 seconds)
3. as soon as you see the Apple logo let up on the buttons and press down the Center/Select and Play/Pause buttons until a checkmark appears on the screen.
4. connect your iPod to your computer and restore thru iTunes

IPod shuffle appears in My Computer but not in iTunes after upgrade to 8.1

I recently upgraded to iTunes v.8.1. Now my generation 1 Shuffle shows up in 'My Computer' but not in the iTunes 'devices'? I followed the iTunes 'help' advice - even reloading iTunes but to no avail. Anyone help please?

hi haptic!
I had it all working fine until I formatted my pc. Now windows recognizes it but not iTunes or the updater, and I don't get any error message.
just checking. have you investigated these possibilities yet?
Strange iPod behavior when Windows confuses iPod with network drive
iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
iPod not recognized and Windows Device Manager is empty
... another thing to check if your Device Manager is blank is this possibility:
No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It
otherwise, try steadily working through this document (apologies if you've seen this one already, but there are things in this one that you didn't explicitly mention having tried.)
EDIT: sorry, got the link wrong first time around ...

Pod classic 160 appears on desktop but not in iTunes

My new iPod Classic 160 appears on my desktop but not in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes installed (and reinstalled (twice)). When I first launch iTunes I get the warning that my iPod is using (old) usb 1 port to connect to my G4 (my beloved G4). This is correct, it is, I can live with slow sync. Anyway, I want to restore my iPod but iTunes freezes (crashes) after giving me his error message:
'The iPod "Mark Carter's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-1302).'
Then I have to force quit iTunes,etc.
Also, I was listening t music on iPod but then it just seemed to disappear? Can still see albums/songs/artwork etc. but won't play track just skips through them.

IPod appears on desktop but not in iTunes

When I connect my iPod clickwheel (via Firewire or USB) to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.7) it mounts on the desktop and I can open it as a disk volume; but iTunes (8.2) doesn't see it at all. iTunes does see my iPhone. Restarting makes no difference. Disconnecting and reconnecting also makes no difference.
Any ideas?

Hey there,
Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document relating to this issue? If not, check it out. Hope it helps.
