NOT ON ITUNES ONLY STORAGE DEVICE

My ipod will not go on itunes. only comes up on my computer as a storage device. I troubleshooted for two days following all directions nothing worked. I have three other idops and just got this on ebay brand new from japan. did not know that this was coming from there. Hope it is not broke.

Two things to know:
1. Any instructions that tell you to enable "Audiobooks" in the Preferences > General section are a couple releases old. Apple changed "Audiobooks" to just "Books" when they launced the iBooks Bookstore. Just make sure Books is checked, and both your eBooks and your audiobooks will appear in the Books source list.
2. You probably need to turn on sync'ing for your audiobooks. Connect your device (here, the iPhone 4), select it in the DEVICES section of the iTunes sidebar, then select the Books tab in the sync configuration area. You'll have to scroll down to the Audiobooks section, because eBooks and audiobooks have separate sync settings.

Ipod does not appear as a storage device in My Computer Folder

Hello all!
I am new at this. I am switching computers and learned that I can use my Ipod as a storage device to transfer all of my music into the new computer. I have the directions but am stuck at the point where I need to copy the itunes folder in My Music to the Ipod (which should show in the My Computer folder but it does not. Any ideas? Is there an easier way to do this? Thank you!

Hi! Thanks!
Yes I do have disk mode enabled. Anyway, I circumvented the problem when I used a transfer cable to copy files and settings from my old computer to a new one. My itunes library was transferred to the new computer. The only problem now is that all of my non-itunes music was copied twice in the new itunes music library in the new computer. Don't understand why.

Internal Flash Not Mounting as Mass Storage Device

I just switched from a Storm to a Tour. In Mass Storage Device Mode, the Storm would mount as two drives -- Blackberry1 for device memory and Blackberry2 for the SD card. The Tour only mounts Blackberry2. Anybody know why the difference or if this can be corrected? Thanks.

I used to see that same thing on the tour, but now I can not. I want to see my SYSTEM MEMORY IN WINDOWS EXPLORER!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
I have a verizon tour 9630.

Itunes and Storage device

I have DNS-323 storage device which supports itunes connection. So I connected this device to my network and they show up in my itunes under "Shared devices".
This shared devices have audio files and mp4 video files. I am able to see Audio files when I click on the device but not able to see mp4 files.
Any idea what is going on?
I downloaded today morning latest version of iTunes (most probably 9.1??)

PCI USB Card Does NOT Work With Mass Storage Devices

I have a StarTech PCI card with 6 USB 2.0 ports that I inserted in my 500 MHz (overclocked) B&W Power Mac G3. It works great for any USB device EXCEPT for any hard drive or DVD/CD-RW drive. I checked the system.log file for errors. Nothing shows up in System Profiler or Disk Utility, obviously. Here's what it consistently says:
Dec 16 23:33:28 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 674.997 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 6 of hub @ location: 0x62000000)
Dec 16 23:33:33 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 679.977 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
I'm running the latest version of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3. What is wrong? StarTech doesn't have a driver, but nothing should be necessary. Is there a 3rd party USB Mass Storage Device driver that might work better than the Apple generic driver? PLEASE HELP ME! I cannot live with USB 1.1.

Some users have reported problems with certain brand cards and their controller chipsets, so trying a different card may resolve the problem. Keyspan and Macally are often mentioned as being more "Mac-friendly" than some other lessser-known brands or generic cards. Does the card have a mini-power port to supplement the power requirements? With USB 2.0, each port is on a separate bus, so a card with six ports should have one. To minimize the overall draw on the available power, I prefer to install USB cards with as few ports as are needed.

Following an upgrade to Itunes 11 my computer is not commecting iTunes to my devices. Thus can not sync

Hi sandraUU,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your devices, this article may help:

HT1420 itunes account will not authorize with only 2 devices authorized

After having to Reset the SMC due to computer locking up, The itunes account will not authorize. In Apple ID account I show 2 active authorized devices. But my Macbook Pro that was previously authorized will not allow me to authorize it. Error message on the itunes app states that there are already 5 devices active.
I reset the ACL user account, did a permissions repair, reset computer user password.
I continue to have the same error message.

iDevices are not authorized, only computers are.
What happens when trying to download the media on the computer? The above is confusing and difficult to read.
Stick to the facts please.

9100 Internal Flash Not Seen as Mass Storage Device

BB 9100 (OS5) when connected USB to laptop does not show the internal memory "Blackberry1" drive. Only the media card shows as "Blackberry User Tools" drive.
Tried on both WIN7 and WIN XP platforms and get same results.
Sync with DTM 6 works fine. USB BB Smartphone driver is 4.1.0.4.
My Bold 9000 (OS5) and Torch 9800 (OS6) show both the internal memory and the media card as drives on the same laptop as trying with the 9100.
Is the "Blackberry User Tools" drive the equivalent of what I'm used to seeing as two separate drives on the Bold and/or Torch?
Is this unique to the Pearl? Anyone else?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Then, yes, that's part of the 256MB of device memory. That's the same memory used for the OS. I don't recommend using that for any storage of media or documents. Make sure most everything gets saved to the media card. Otherwise you will fill up your device memory and eventually the OS will delete call logs, emails, texts, etc.
Your 9000 (as well as some other devices) has an extra memory location that works like a built-in media card. That's different than the 256MB of device memory on your 9100.

ICloud not usable as general storage device?

I was a big fan of iDisk, then it changed to iCloud. Without reading much about it, I thought when they said it was changing, it would be for the better, and like an idiot I just paid the $100 and went with it. I actually NEED to use it to transfer some files into the cloud so I can access them from work and home occasionally, and now if I understand right, I can't just do that? The files are anything from Access database files to Excel, Word, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc. Please advise. You can't tell me all of these file types can be created in iWork and maintain their native file formats without corruption at some point. I would give anything to see that nice little blue cloud icon on my desktop where I can drag and drop and not have to worry about all this, and now, I feel jipped, or pretty stupid b/c I can't find this answer anywhere. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

USB storage devices not being recognised

Product:
13" Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display (Late 2013 model)
OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.2)
2.4GHz i5, 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3, 256gb HDD
Issue:
- macbook unable to recognise USB storage devices.
- can be found on disk utility but 'greyed out'.
- cannot be found under devices in finder.
- tried restarting laptop, no effect.
- additional storage via Nifty + 64gb micro SD is working fine.
- apple products (iPod/iPhone/iPad) and printer/scanner working fine, only storage devices appear to be affected.
- USB-ethernet adapter appears to be working w/o problems too.
- last technical thing done to the computer was SMC reset 5 days ago for power cable light not working properly (fixed with reset).
Hello everyone,
I seem to having some issues with my macbook and the ability to use USB storage devices. The SD card slot appears to be working fine as I have a nifty device attached on. I'm not sure exactly when this started to happen but it was working last week for sure.
I've put some succinct notes above for anyone who is willing to help out and is able to use it to determine the problem but I don't think it's a hardware issue. Maybe it's a bug with the new OS X update over the weekend?
I've attached a screenshot of the disk utility below as well.
If anyone could help me out then that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Some users on another Apple thread had success in running Kext Utility last November with similar issues.
I ran kext utility 2.6.1, restarted my computer and everything was working again.

How do I download a movie to my phone? when I click 'rent' through itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage my local device storage usage in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but this has not helped.

How do I download a movie to my iphone 3G? When I click 'rent' in itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage storage on my device in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but don't know how to change my storage so that I can rent and watch the movie on my phone. thanks for any help you can give.

I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it.

My Ipod Touch 4G is showing up as a storage device in my computer but not on Itunes.

So I have a Ipod touch 4g. It is showing up as a storage device when I connect it, but not in Itunes or any other third party program. My IPod has connected to this computer before on this version of ITunes and worked fine. Now, it's just not. I really need help. I have tried everything, reseting my Ipod, the services with right clicking computer and clicking manage, reinstalling Itunes (2 times) and restarting, nothing works. I have read tons of other peoples discussions and nothing worked. I have checked for viruses and uninstalled all Third party programs I have, nothing seemed to work. I really need help.
Thank you!

ITunes recognizes other mass storage devices/network but not iPod

When I plug my iPod into the computer, Windows and iTunes recognize that the iPod is connected. A windows bubble from the sys tray tells me that a mass storage device was detected, and a iPod icon appears in iTunes. However, iTunes does not connect to the iPod; for some reason it connects itself to the network (ethernet connection) or to my external hard drive (USB connection), in that order. It will recognize the network as the iPod, unless it is disconnected, and then it will recognize the hard drive as the iPod. If neither of these devices are connected, then the computer doesn't recognize the iPod at all unless I restart it. Thus, to get the computer to recognize my iPod, I have to disconnect my network, and my external hard drive, restart the computer and plug in the iPod. After this point, I can reconnect both devices and everything works. What's going on?

hi ephmike!
that sounds like classic symptoms of a Windows drive letter confusion problem. let's see if this document will help:

the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
any suggestions?

Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.
