Pod not appearing in i-tunes

I've just brought a 5th Gen Nano. I previously had a 4th gen one which worked fine with i-tunes. However having rigged it all up today and making sure I have newest version of tunes nothing is happening.
When I connect my pod to the PC it comes up with the auto-play option like any normal usb and nothing is appearing in i-tunes. I haven't got the devices option down the left or anything.
Can someone please help! I've been without a pod for a month now and desperatly need it back!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

  • My I-Pod Touch contains an audible book, which I can not remove.  It does not appear in I-Tunes, and this takes up so much memory that I can't sync my i-Pod.

    How can I remove this from my i-pod?

  • I Pod classic not appearing in i tunes

    When I plug in my I pod Classic 80g the follwing error message occurs:
    There might be a problem with some of the files on this device or disk. This can happen if you remove the device or disk before all the files have been written to it.
    Scan & Fix (recommended)
    Continue without scanning.
    I have tried clicking both options, but although a scan appears to start, the dialogue box disappears and nothing happens. I have tried the "5 Rs" but am unable to restore as the device is not shown in I Tunes.
    I also have an i phone which I have no issues connecting to the same laptop & itunes, so would appear to be an issue with the i pod?
    Any ideas would be appreciated as I am at a loss with this...
    Thanks abs

    I have the ipod classic 120gig and am having the same problem. Just started today. I even tried Media Monkey and can't get it to recognize my ipod. Still searching the discussion groups for a fix.

  • I POD not charging when I tunes recognise it

    Hello,
    Just bought a video I-POD 60 GIG.
    I installed the CD, connected the device and left it charging for 24 hours. Then I created a library synchronized it and start enjoying the music.
    I let the battery run just to see how long those would last.
    I then plugged the i-pod again. Here what happens:
    1) Plug I pod
    2) Do not disconnect warning pops up and battery start charging
    3) I tune starts
    4) I tunes recognize I-pod and synchronies music battery still charging
    5) Synchronization end and Battery STOP CHARGING
    Why batteries stop charging? Has anybody experienced something similar?
    I run Win 2000 on a dell D810 laptop. I have 4 USB 2 ports if I choose not to start I-tune automatically when I connect I-pod this charges without any problem.
    I uninstalled I tunes re-installed it but no success.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you
    Enrico

    Thank you for your reply, but since when this happened the battery status icon was rd I would assume the battery is not fully charged and should start charging.
    Also when the I-pod goes to sleep there is no sign of battery icon.
    Might be an I-tune bug?
    It may be the battery is charged up already. When iTUnes gets done syncing the iPOd it goes back to the main menu on the iPod and there will be a baby sized icon in the top right corner with a battery and a lighting bolt on it, after awhile the iPod goes into a semi sleep state this is when the battery icon will cover the screen much like the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" Icon http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/anatomy/3/

  • HT1386 My i-pad2 is now not appearing in i-tunes under devices?

    All of a sudden my ipad2 is not appearing under my device when syncing with the computer. I have checked cables, unplugged and re-plugged my i-pad. It started doing this after my last update.

    Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, reboot the iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I-pod not accessible in I-tunes

    Well this is a rather random question. i plug my 120G i-pod classic into my MAC, and i-tunes comes up, everything works great, i can sync it with computer just fine... but when the i-pod shows up in the "device" section on the left side of itunes screen, i can click on the arrow next to it to make a drop down bar that includes, music, movies, podcasts, etc... And if i click on the music section under the i-pod, all my music on my i-pod is listed, just as it is in my library of i-tunes. However, it's all "greyed out" so to speak.. like i can't click on and play/edit any songs under the i-pod's music.. i have to change it in my music library and then re-sync the whole thing... is this normal? I thought i could access the music directly on the i-pod from i-tunes and it would automatically update the i-pod?
    Any comments/ suggestions? THANX!!!

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
    Please note that by editing/changing the songs on your iPod in this manner, the changes will not affect the songs in iTunes, only on your iPod.

  • ATV not appearing in i-Tunes (again)

    I've just bought a 160Gb ATV and cannot - after 2 weeks of trying - get i-Tunes to recognise it. I've downloaded everything relating to latest ATV software, bonjour, i-Tunes and Vista 64 compatibility, but still no ATV joy. I can download from i-Tunes on my laptop and ATV; they just won't talk to each other. I've followed the ATV help guides and read through dozens of threads on this site, again no improvement; although, i haven't seen any exact combination of my circumstances. Before I have an ATV sized hole in the window, does anybody have any suggestions?

    Make sure the cord is plugged in on the way and the cord is not broken or damaged! also make sure you have latest update of itunes
