You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

IPod frozen and not showing up in iTunes, I've tried everything

My iPod Nano (2nd generation) has "Do not disconnect" on the screen whether or not it is connected to the computer, and it will not show up in iTunes, and I do not think that it is showing up in "My Computer." I think I have tried everything that the support section suggested, but my iPod still says "Do not disconnect" on the screen and iTunes freezes up every time I try to restore it.
What happened:
I went to the iTunes store and bought an album, so then I plugged in my iPod to get those songs on my iPod. If it matters, I'm using my mom's laptop for iTunes because my computer does not have XP, and I plug the iPod into the USB slot. My iPod's screen showed the words "Do not disconnect" and I waited for the iPod to show up on iTunes and for it to say updating or whatever it does when it puts new songs on it. Well the iPod never showed up, and iTunes had frozen. I did the good old "ctrl + atl + delete" and iTunes was not responding so I clicked "End task." Then I went down to click on iTunes again and it would not come up. I tried again, and nothing. I clicked on iTunes in the Start menu and it wouldn't come up. So then I decided to restart the computer so that I could get iTunes to work. The computer turned off, but would not turn on. It showed the same screen for about 10 min and nothing was happening. I was afraid to disconnect the iPod since it still said "Do not disconnect" so it was still plugged in. I then switched off the power on the laptop, and tried to turn it back on. It was stuck on the same screen again, and I waited for about 10 min, and I finally disconnected the iPod and the computer promptly started up. The iPod still said "Do not disconnect," and pushing buttons did nothing. I pulled up iTunes and plugged my iPod back in, but iTunes did not show the iPod on the side like it should. So I closed it and tried again, and after about 20 tries of restarting the computer, unplugging and plugging the iPod, and reopening iTunes, I eventually got the iPod to show and it asked to restore it, so I clicked ok. As it was restoring the bar was moving back and forth and then it just stopped, and I moved the mouse and realized that iTunes had frozen again. I was forced to "End task" and I had to restart the computer. I've gone through this cycle about 20 times, and about every 15 min I will get the iPod to show up on iTunes (but it does not recognize the iPod's name or the type of iPod) and no matter what I try to do next iTunes freezes up and I have to restart the computer. Sorry for the long read, I just didn't want to leave out any detail. I've been trying to get it to work for a few hours and I'm getting very frustrated, any help would be greatly appreciated.

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

My iTunes will not connect to the iStore, I have tried everything!!!

I can browse the store but when i try to enter my account info and password it says the itunes cannot connect with the istore. I have not changed any of my info in the past 4 years!! The last time I got on the istore and bought something was about 6 months ago without any problems. I have tried everything!! Someone please help!

I do not think it is the user, I was able to connect to itunes store fine last tuesday 2/23/10 and then later in the day windows released a couple updates for vista at least and I have not been able to connect to itunes store since. I even uninstalled the windows updates and it still wouldn't connect, so unless someone has a better idea I think it messed something up. Oddly enough you can see apple updated this fix page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368 on the exact date, but none of these solutions work, so they are aware of it and should at least say they are working on it, if they even are.

New ipod will not show in itunes.

my computer isn't very happy at the moment. it randomly unexpectedly quits when i am using photoshop or quark, or really anything. it could happen right now... it hasn't been happy since it was crashed by my friend. he reinstalled everything, but it is still being touchy. i am taking it in for healing when my mac pro arrives via the mail. well... i got a brand new ipod nano and it won't show up in itunes. i tried all the updates. nothing works. i do not have a USB 2.0, i have the card reader thing. it doesn't work anywhere. it is probably my computer, but the ipod shows up on the desktop. why won't it show in itunes?

I believe it is a Windows setting issue. Try this:
Go to Control Panel
Choose Display
Choose Settings Tab
Change Screen Resolution should be at least 1024 by 768 pixels.
Accept the change.
Then you will see the CONTINUE button.
Please let me know if this solved your problem!

New IPod Will not show up or charge

I just bought my new 80 gig Ipod, and installed a new usb 2.0 card. Everything works in my USB card except for my new Ipod. When I plug it in, it starts charging...then the charging icon disappears and the apple shows up but it won't turn on. There's no light or anything. I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps, and nothing works. My computer doesn't recognize my IPod being connected to it either. Do I have a bad battery?

No, I dont think you have a bad battery, but have checked with this

Brand new iPod will not fully sync with iTunes

Howdy! My issue seems to be similar to the other thread "new 5G iPOd formatted for windows, no Movies tab????"
I purchased a new 30GB iPod yesterday and plugged it into my iTunes (7.0.2). After naming the iPod I set it to upload all my iTunes content to the iPod. Then the registration process comes up. Once I tried to complete it I got an error saying that the iTunes Store was having a problem and I should try again later. So, I waited until the upload was done and checked my iPod. None of my videos, audiobooks or any purchased content had been uploaded.
Having only owned a first generation iPod I was ignorant of what I should see in my iTunes window with this new one. I only have four tabs: Summary, Music, Podcasts and Contacts. On my Summary page the "Update" and "Restore" buttons are grayed out and the Software Version and Serial Number display as n/a. AND it was formatted for Windows (what's up with that?).
I went to the wife's computer and did a restore and a software upgrade (Version 1.2) and saw all these tabs that my iTunes didn't have! I was elated! Plug it back into my computer and I still have the same problem, nothing has changed. At least now I'm past the registration problem as I completed that on the wife's computer. When I try to manually move purchased content to the new iPod I get an error saying my software needs to be upgraded.
So, I believe that iTunes is confusing my new iPod with the old one. But, at least on the old one I was able to upload purchased content, if not video and photos. I did name them differently, so there shouldn't be any confusion there. One thing I find odd is that my old 5GB iPod has software version 1.5 where my new 30GB iPod has version 1.2. This must be the root of the problem.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

that sounds like the ipoddriver.kext has gone skunky on the Mac. see:
iTunes 7 for Mac: Restore option is not available
iTunes: No Photos or Videos tab in the iPod preferences pane in Mac OS X
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X

My ipod will not show up in iTunes or as a drive space, I've tried everything recommended!

I connected my iPod earlier today and it worked fine, I disconnected it properly and now after EVERYTHING reccomended (in all the support articles and many discussion questions recommendations.) What should I do? It charges in all docking stations...help please!

Hello cchloe,
Check out the following article that troubleshoots iPod not recognized by the computer. If it does not resolve it, there is more info on what to do if it still does not show up.

IPod will not show up in iTunes even after trouble shooting

For some reason, I cannot get m iPod touch to show up in my iTunes. It charges when it is plugged into my macbook and everything, but I cannot get it to be recognized by iTunes, even after following the trouble shooting.
The closest i got to it working was by holding down the restart buttons (the sleep button at the top and the on button on the main screen). When i did this, a message popped up saying that my ipod was in recovery mode and i needed to restore it. I clicked ok, and before i was able to click restore to restore my ipod, it disappeared from iTunes again.
Help?

i uninstalled iTunes for a third time, restarted my mac, and reinstalled itunes. plugged in my iPod and now it is successfully working

Ever since the update to the IOS7 my ipod will not keep the time. I have reset everything you could reset I have even reset it back to factory settings. I have tried setting the time and date to automatic and manual multiple times but nothing is working.

Please help!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
