Pc cant see my ipod

I plugged my ipod into my pc and itunes told me that it needed to reformat my ipod. I said OK and then did a restore. After i plugged it into the mains as directed my pc wont recognise my ipod. It just sees it as a drive.
Does any one have any ideas what i can do to fix this please?

  • Cant see my iPod in Itunes and cant connect to store

    When I open my iTunes my iPod touch dosnt appear under Devices.It is fine when I plug in my iPod Nano (it recognises that no problem).Also when I try to connect to the iTunes store it comes up "the network connection was refused.Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active,then try again".
    I have turned off my Firewalls and I have allowed access in my Macafee before trying it again but to no avail. I have tried it on my friends PC and it worked perfectly. I have uninstalled and installed the 7.5 version of iTunes umpteen times but still nothing.
    Please someone help me.I have paid £199 for something that dosnt want to play !!!

    I forgot to mention that i have tried everything on the apple website and nothing works.

    I had that happen to me the very first time I tried using it. But I reset the Ipod, then connected it and Itunes was able to find it.
    I'm not sure if that is your problem, but have you tried that?
    I'm a novice myself, trying to learn all I can as I recieved the Ipod for christmas, and am still learning.
    I need to learn how to get my music videos from DVD onto my Ipod.

  • I cant  see ipod nano on itunes,

    I cant see Ipod Nano (6th gen) on itunes windows vista operating system.

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

  • Help! -Itunes wont sync, Set-Up Assistant pops up, Cant see iPod contents..

    I have several problems happening at once - please help if you can!
    When I connect to iTunes, my iPod starts to sync, but then I get an error message "Cannot synchronize ----'s iPod. Unknown Error (-48)"
    It then jumps straight to the Set Up Assistant, as if its the first time I've connected my iPod! (I've had it for a year now). I'm too scared to go through that option in case it wipes the music/video off my iPod.
    After all this, my iPod's name Imine) is actually visible in the left side panel of iTunes - BUT, i cant see any of the contents ie songs, video etc.
    Funny thing is, I can still load songs & video onto the iPod, and it synchronizes and saves. But, I just cant see anything thats on the iPod (meaning I cant edit or delete, which is annoying), as iTunes only recognizes it as a brand new ipod.
    So, what can I do?
    I've tried to reset the Ipod, and reloaded iTunes. I've even used an earlier version of iTunes on a different computer and the exact same thing happens there (which leads me to believe somehting happened to the iPod).
    I dont want to restore the iPod - I have nearly filled the 160GB capacity and I simply cannot back it up anywhere as no computer i have has enough memory and all my original music is overseas at home.
    Why is itunes not recognising the ipod, but it still saves data on it??? How can I bypass the Set Up assistant?? (its irritating).
    Please help!!

    I am also having the same problem. This is my second ipod (I've added a shuffle and already had a nano). The nano works fine. When I connect the shuffle, it is grayed out in the left pane. The main view only shows two tabs, Settings and Contents. It doesn't seem to matter how I have the syncing setup.

  • The bottom part of the screen is like bright it looks all weird i cant see annything in that part my ipod still has the 1 year warranty do u guys think i can get it fix for free or would i have to pay?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If you iPod is defective, within warranty and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • What can i do when my ipod screen goes white and i cant see anything?

    Please! Somebody give me some advice on what to do when my ipod is white and i cant see anything? i can listen to music but i cant see what i am listening to?

    If none of the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting do any good, you'll need to have the iPod either serviced or replaced as the LCD screen or ribbon cable is damaged or faulty.
