TS1363 I have a 5th Gen Ipod Classic which has just stopped being seen by iTunes.  I have reloaded itunes and rest my iPod but still nothing.  Any advice?

I have 5th gen iPod classic and although it is recognised by my windows vista software within the "computer" tab. iTunes does not see it.  I have totally reset my iPod and reloaded the iTunes software on my PC (which actually sorted my issues with mt 32gb touch) but to no avail.
Any assistance would be grately appreciated?

Nothing has changed frlom when it worked on Saturday to it not working on Sunday!  The iPod does not appear in iTunes on either my laptop or my PC.  The iPod appears to be fully functional, the wheel works and the date/time etc is all correct.  However, it is empty of all music and videos.  It was almost full (give or take 10 gb)
The display on the iPod says connected!  Is there a setting on it which changes it from an iPod to a disc drive?  Other than that, I can see what's wrong.
Everything is working perfectly apart from it's deleted all my stuff and the PC only sees it as an external hard drive?
As I said, my touch is fine

    Hello, Ray. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer.  Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.

    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.

    Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.
    - 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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Try a reset, press and hold both the home and power buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

  • My ipod touch 4g wont sync with itunes or show up in itunes , ive tried all of the troubleshoot steps from apple but still nothing. any one got any idea??

    does anyone have an idea as i dont really want to buy a new ipod and i need it as i am a dance teacher and i dont really like taking my laptop with me.

    If you mean that the iPod does not appear in iTunes then:
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Then try

    I would start with:

  • After updating to iTunes 11.1, i'm getting error 42404. Everything's working fine though, other than my iPod classic which is now getting automatically ejected when I try to connect it.

    I'm on Windows 8 64bit, and I have a 160gb iPod classic which has worked perfectly on all versions of iTunes including 11. Just a couple of days ago I updated to 11.1, and now when I open iTunes it gives me that error message. Re-installing or repairing iTunes has absolutely no effect, I've done that about 10 times now.
    Everything in the program actually works fine, but when I try to connect my iPod, it says "connected, do not disconnect" for about 10 seconds before flashing up the "sync in progress" screen for about half a second, and then it goes to "okay to disconnect".
    I have connected the iPod in disk mode and exactly the same thing happens.
    Any ideas? Is my iPod now a brick until apple does another update?

    Upgrading to itunes 7.0 just cost me 2 days of messing around and in the end I had to revert back to v6.0 and resore my lib.
    Apple CS was good but did not belly up the fact that 7.0 is defective in some cases and in the end told me I had a hardware problem!
    The main issue is that I could not get itunes 7.0 to see my ipod (very infrequently after a hard boot I would see it but would not be able to upload anything). Worked(s) 100% with v 6.0.
    This is very defintey 1/2 baked following in the steps of the other well known producers of sw that is not always functional/buggy the first time around.
    My computer is a x40 IBM laptop with xp sp2. Will have to wait a few more weeks to see how this pans out.

  • I have a 5th gen iPod Touch. I have made playlists in iTunes. I need to get them to the iPod. When I had a Classic, it was automatic. You could drag and drop using iTunes music to the playlist in iTunes and it would automatically sync to the Classic.

    I have a 5th gen iPoc Touch. In the past, with the Classic, I could drag and drop from my iTunes music to a Classic playlist through iTunes. Now, the playlist I create in iTunes doesn't show on the Touch. I have maybe 29 GB of music on my Touch. I have already created playlists in iTunes that have substantial amounts of songs in each. How can I get those playlists on the Touch without doing a total sync that wipes the iPod? Is there a way to do it?
    As well, I am noticing here that my 5th gen iPod doesn't show as a registered device. How do I register it?

    For how to sync see:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method

  • I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

    I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.  For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large.  Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small. 
    Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

    I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

I do not know how to solve the problem. I do not want to restore my iPod but I want to get my memory back. Please Help ME

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

  • TS1368 Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store.  I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card.  I am going to return both of these items it I cannot find a fix for this.

    Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
    Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
    Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:

    When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer.  There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day.  The iTunes app was downloaded the same day.  Since day 1 I have not been able to connect.  I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

    After restarting my computer:
    From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
    A new window opens and I get the following message:
    This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
    Please review your account information
    So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
    Welcome to the iTunes Store
    With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
    To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
    So I click on 'Continue'
    A pop up window says:
    We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later.
    And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
    After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops
