Older iPod doesn't show in 11.1

Just went to do a sync with my older iPod 80GB to iTunes. Immediately got the "do not disconnect" message, but iPod not showing up in desktop app.
Will let it go for awhile to see if anything happens, but not sure...

In iTunes, go to the File Menu and select the 'Add to Library' option.
In the window that appears navigate to the folder that has all the music from the old version of iTunes (i.e. where the music is currently stored on your computer), and select the folder.
This should then add all the music back into your iTunes (it may make a copy)
You will now be able to connect your iPod and let it sync to the computer.

Older iPod doesn't show podcasts when syncing with new iTunes

Although I have had my older iPod for approximately 7 years, I have never had any problems with it until this latest iTunes update. Since the update, I my podcasts are not showing up on the iPod. When I click on "sync" it completes almost immediately (in the past it has taken time for my weekly podcasts to transfer). I think this might have something to do with the new podcast app organization that is used with my iPhone and newer devices that utilizes aps. However, I use my iPod for my daily commute, and if I can't find my podasts to listen to, I am going to be VERY disappointed in Apple's latest change. I am hoping that there is an answer to this problem, but am afraid my old iPod may be be in the process of becoming outdated...
Yes, I did scroll through my albums and artists to see if I could find the podcasts, but without success (unless I am just looking in the wrong place).
Help!! Has anyone else experienced and/or resolved this issue?
Thanks!

Hi Arryla
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Take a look at the following link. It should tell you how to do what you want.
Note the bit at the bottom as well, seeing as you are using windows.

HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

IPod Doesn't Show Up in iTunes or My Computer, But Says It's Connected

I'm running Windows Vista (something I highly regret ever getting), and I was given a new iPod by a friend, and since it was a different iPod than I used before, Vista kept popping a window up when I connected it asking if I wanted to download a driver. It had three options, I think, to browse for the driver, look later, or never ask again. Normally I would click the first two, and the iPod would show up in iTunes still (and the iPod doesn't even need a driver). The last time, I accidentally clicked for it to not ask again, and now the iPod doesn't show up in either My Computer or iTunes.
I really, REALLY hate this computer. Vista has caused nothing but problems, I tell ya. It's always one thing after another.

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Ipod doesn't show in itunes, vista installed, also, thinks it's syncing...

I really don't know what to put for a subject! Itunes and my ipod shuffle ran perfectly under Windows XP. I have a LOT of music successfully loaded (from itunes purchases and my own cds) on the 'pod. It plays fine. Problem is, computer bit the dust. I decided to upgrade to Vista instead of reloading XP (couldn't find the **** CDs to reinstall XP). Now, my ipod doesn't show up in itunes and I get that **** "ipod is synced with another library.. do you want to erase this ipod and sync with "this" itunes lib." box. "This" itunes library consists only of songs I've purchased from itunes.... none of the cd music is there. and the only option that itunes seems to be giving me is to blow away what's on my 'pod now and install the tiny library of itunes purchases. The wierd thing is, it's all on the same **** computer... just the OS changed (from XP to Vista).
What I WAMT to do is somehow get itunes to see my 'pod and copy the music that's on my pod back into itunes where it all came from in the first place and put my latest itunes purchases (since changing OS's) on my 'pod. Jeeze. sounds so simple. Unbelieveable.

TIA for any help.

WiFi ON/OFF button Doen't Work, the IPod doesn't show the on/off button in the Settings- General - WiFi

After My IPod Touch 4th Geneartion was broken I had to fix the screen, which cost me a lot, after a perfect restore through the ITunes I went to connect to my IPod to the WiFi network then the WiFi ON/OFF button Doen't Work, the IPod doesn't show the on/off button in the Settings-> General -> WiFi.
And another problem I encountered during this operation was that the Games I downloaded through the ITunes doesn't work, when I click on the icon ( Game Icon) it starts an then closes in a few seconds

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Try resetting it. If that doesn't help, try restoring it.
There are no user serviceable parts inside an iPod, and opening it will void the warranty.

Ipod doesn't show up after snow leopard update

since i made the snow leopard update my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes, in iPhoto it still works... any ideas to solve my problems?

First, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update...
If the system is up to date, try reinstalling the AMDS...

And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before connecting the iPod to your Mac.

Ipod doesn't show all the songs listed in Itunes even after sync is complete

I'm going through the same thing, I've tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer and that seems to help. I haven't gotten all my songs back yet, but I've got about 75% of it back.

My iPod doesn't show up on "My Computer" or iTunes and it doesn't sync or charge. Help please?

I have an iPod Classic, the 2nd most recent version. I havn't had problems with it until a week ago. Before I had the new iTunes update, a week ago, it wouldn't show up in my Device's or "My Computer" , wont sync and It wouldn't charge either. I thought to myself "Maybe I should update my iTunes, maybe thats why it's not working". I updated my iTunes library to the most recent software last night thinking it would help but... It didn't help at all and made things much more complicated. I don't like how the new iTunes navigates and the iTunes Helper isn't there now. I'm still facing the problem where it doesn't show up in iTunes AND it doesn't show up on "My Computer" AND still doesn'tt sync but the thing thats different is that it'll charge a quarter bit and say it's done, or it wont charge at all and stay on my home screen. I need help here. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If it does not even turn on
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I tried the Driver thing with updating even deleting and reinstalling still it doesn't show up in My Computer or iTunes.
I did show up like a week ago but then it said it needed a restore or something but now if I plug it in I hear the sound a device is plugin but nothing happens if I open iTunes I don't see the iPod.
I also tried resetting didn't work either
The iPod itself still works listening to music on it everyday but I want it to work in iTunes because I want to put new music on it.
Please someone help me

Have you tried these pages:
*[iPod Missing in My Computer or iTunes for Windows|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369]*
*[Ipod not recognized properly|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538]*
If you can't see the ipod in disk management or the device manager, before you connect the ipod, open itunes, select edit/preferences, leave this window open and click on show desktop. This will make itunes busy. Then connect the ipod, and try the above help pages.

Ipod doesn't show up in new itunes

I just upgraded to itunes 12.0.1.26 and now my ipod (4th gen touch, iOS 6.1.6) doesn't show up anymore. I've tried restarting and I've checked for Apple Mobile Device Support, which is as far as my troubleshooting knowledge goes. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks!

My iPod doesn't show song ratings in iTunes

When I am listening to music on the street, I give 1 star rating to songs i dislike, so I can delete them from my device when I get home and connect it with iTunes. In iTunes, there are the 5 and 4 tar ratings I gave to specific songs before I even put them on my iPod, but the 1 star songs aren't shown and when I remember a song title I gave 1 star and search for it, it doesn't show up. So now there is a bunch of "unliked" songs on my iPod touch I want to get rid of, but it doesn't show in iTunes and it is still there on my iPod. Pretty annoying.....

See if anything here helps: iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
