No longer recognizes when iPad/iPod are plugged in

Mac will no longer mount my iPad and iPod.   Both components recognize that something is being plugged in, but nothing happens on the Mac end.
Have tried so far:
switching out cables
using different USB input
restarting and hard reboot
Any ideas?

Have a look at these two

    You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited.  See this article for more details.

  • My iPad only has sound when the earphones are plugged in. The switch that controls the volume works then, but not when I take the earphones out. Suggestions?

    Hi, snewc.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when a device is not recognized in iTunes.

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
    iOS: Force an app to close

  • Nano plays music out loud even when ear buds are plugged in?

    Nano plays music out loud even when ear buds are plugged in? its like the external speaker is always on, i cannot figure out how to turn it off....HELP SOMEONE

    You don't have to shout - typing in caps.
    The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
    
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

  • I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

    I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

    Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

  • 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?

  • When my ipod is plugged into my computer music disappears, sometime it tries to upload songs, clears my playlists, and can't locate the songs files. All the same songs are in my Itunes library on my computer. What can i do?

         When I plug my Ipod into my computer it shows all my songs on it as reloading onto the device,
    and sometimes it can't locate the files or they are just gone. All my songs are in my Itunes library
    on my computer, and I do have it in my settings not sync the Ipod with my computer so I can
    manage the content myself. It has happened multiple times.
          I have cleared my Ipod off as well as my computer, and put all the music back on without seeing
    any improvement. And as of today when I tried again it shows some songs on there but with 3 copies
    of the same song trying to upload onto my ipod. And have of my playlist where empty. I am getting
    frustrated and don't know what to do. Help.

  • Windows Freezes When New Ipod 60gb plugged in

    When I plug in my video ipod, my windows xp will slow down. I can click things in the desktop and nothing will happen. Sometimes I cant click the start menu. It shows that the "new hardware" is plugged in. If I unplug it, all the things i clicked on open and windows runs fine. If I leave the ipod plugged in for a few minutes, like 2-5, it will eventually open up itunes and connect to the ipod but I dont like how slow it takes to connect. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

    Same Problem with a Dimension 4500 with USB 2.0 so I am not sure that's the problem. It appears to be all about being patient for the PC to recognize the IPOD and get Itunes up and running. The things get better.
    When updating the IPOD I get a message after 50 or so MB are transferred that the update has stopped because the disk is not accessible.
    My guess on all this is that there is a incompatibility with the USB drivers

  • Playlists delete everytime iPhone and iPod are plugged into iTunes

    I'm not sure if it's a setting in iTunes or what, but whenever I plug my iPhone 4 AND my iPod touch into iTunes, all of my playlists are deleted. My iPhone 4 is running 4.2.6 and iPod is on 4.2.1, neither are running altered or jailbroken software. Running iTunes 10.1.2.17. Music is set to manually manage.

    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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar          
    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • After upgrading to Lion , itunes does not recognize my ipad, ipod touch anymore.

    Yesterday I updated to Mac OSC Lion on my original Intel Macbook (the first Aluminum Macbook) with 4GB RAM.
    Today I had a run in with my ipad and ipod touch, both of whom are not being recognized by itunes anymore.
    My ipod shuffle and classic are still being recognised and do sync.
    I have read through the support pages and annoyingly even factory-reset my ipad, which cannot be used anymore due
    to itunes not recognizing the device !
    System profiler does show either ipod or ipad being connected to the usb port. Resetting of the devices did not help (see above)
    Any clues to this inconsistent behaviour differentiating between classic ipods and ipod touch/ipad ?
    js.

    update: It seems like the XCode update did interfere with itunes. I reran the XCode install this time with itunes not running. This seems to update all necessary drivers and Library items correctly.
    After this IPad and IPod touch were working fine again.
