TS1363 iPod won't appear in iTunes but shows up on my desktop

When I  to connect my iPod, it appears on my desktop, but not in iTunes.

Thank you for the response!  I went to this article, and tried to follow the instructions.  It said to:  Go to
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
Click Go.
Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the Trash. (Do not move the similarly named "
However, I do not have a file named  com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig.
Any ideas?

  • IPod won't appear in iTunes or in My Computer. Help please

    Hello
    my iPod is fully charged (2nd gen nano), and charged up last night.
    When i plug it in to put more songs on, it won't appear in iTunes or my computer. I know that the USB port is working fine, becuase i tried my pen drive and that was fine, and the iPod screen lights up.
    I've dont the first 4 R's - Reset, Retry, Restart and Reinstall.
    But i don't really want to do Restroe, because it will wipe everything off my iPod, and if i then still can't get it to sync, then i'm abit screwed.
    Any toher ideas from anyone?
    Any help would be good
    thankyouu

    When the screen lights up, is there anything on the display? If it's just a white lit up screen, try to force it into disk mode (which can be difficult if you can't see anything). Essentially, turn the hold switch off so there's no orange color beneath it, hold the menu & middle buttons for 10 seconds and then immedidately hold the middle & play/pause buttons for 10 seconds. If it appears in iTunes at this point you may want to consider restoring.
    If this is not the case and you see the normal display when it's connected to the computer, I'd suggest connecting it to a different USB port (preferably one directly on the back of the computer - avoid connecting the iPod via USB hubs, keyboards, printers, etc). Try this step even though your USB port works with other devices. You might also try a different USB cable if you have one from another iPod.

  • 1st Gen iPod Nano not appearing in iTunes, but DOES appear as a disk

    Good Afternoon All,
    I have a 1st Gen Nano 1GB that up until iTunes 9 was syncing fine, but now - Nada.
    The Nano is in disk mode and appears just fine in Finder, I can eject it and it's charging fine but iTunes 9 won't see it.
    I have:
    - reset the iPod (not restored because it won't show up in iTunes)
    - updated iTunes to r9 and checked for any other outstanding updates
    - Re-installed iTunes 9
    - this morning I applied the 10.6.1 update
    - The update forced a reboot of the iMac so I have rebooted since the issue started
    I can't do most of what is in this KB article because it won't appear in iTunes (hard to restore otherwise, right?): http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
    My iPod Touch's (both 1Gen) connect to the same USB port/cable combination just fine and applied the 3.1 update to both through the same port/cable.
    I don't want to restore the Nano if I don't have to, I have some Nike+ run data on there I don't want to lose, but I suppose I can pull it off in disk mode first if I have to restore.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Fortunately I solved my own problem, but unfortunately it took an iTunes downgrade.
    My daughter's iBook was getting dog slow so I decided to pull a "PC" and reload fresh Leopard to clear out the gunk and get her to trim the fat from her iTunes and other directories and clear the mung left over from the original Tiger to Leopard upgrade.
    As part of that I initially skipped the iTunes 9 update and connected the iPod to iTunes 8 - it was recognized instantly and uploaded my Nike+ data.
    I did notice that the Nano is still PC formatted from back in the day before I switched to Mac. I am going to try connecting it to my iTunes 9 iMac again, and if nothing comes up I am going to restore it in iTunes 8 to Mac format and then see what happens in iTunes 9.
    I will update here.

  • IPod won't appear in iTunes or Desktop until I reset every time

    Hi All. Sorry if this has been covered. I read the article on this (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950), but it didn't help.
    My problem:
    I have the 30gb 5th-gen iPod and an Intel 1.83 Mac mini (10.4.8). Recently, every time I plug in the iPod, the computer refuses to mount it. The iPod screen displays the "Do not disconnect" message, but the computer and iTunes don't see it. If I perform a soft reset (middle button + Menu) the computer will then recognize the iPod, but I have to do this every time!
    I looked at and tried the suggestions in the Apple support document listed above, but none of them resolve the issue. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I have a similar problem well its more serious though -- I accidentally unplugged my 80 GB video iPod prematurely from my Intel based Mac Mini without ejecting it in iTunes and now the iPod is stuck on the Do Not Disconnect screen even after it was unplugged -- plugging it back in does not help any.
    I have tried restarting my Mac Mini with it plugged in does not help at all -- tried pressing the hold switch back and forth on my iPod a 5th generation video version nothing -- iPod does not appear on my Mac Desktop, any Finder windows nor does it appear in Disk Utility or iTunes.

  • Songs inside disappeared and the iPod won't appear on iTunes & Windows!

    Well, the iPod started showing this icon with a folder and an exclamation mark, so I reset it a few times. Prior to that, some of the songs didn't play properly. This hasn't happened before though.
    So I connected it to the computer and reset it but nothing seemed to happened. I tried putting it on Disk Mode but still, same results. What's worse is that it wouldn't even appear on iTunes and My Computer anymore. Even if it does to the latter, the window just freezes when I try to access the drive.
    Then I unplugged it and found that all of the songs disappeared! I then checked the memory available and it showed that I only had 492 MB / 18.5 GB available. What the **** is happening here?
    I'm using the old-school iPod. With non-color LCD display, 20 GB. I have yet to try installing the new version of iTunes (but other than that, what can other ways can you folks recommend me?).
    Can anyone help me out? My head's starting to spin already. :[
    If I am in the wrong portion of the forum, just tell me so. I'm kind of new here and don't have the time to browse each section thoroughly. D:

    Have a look at this post.

  • IPod won't appear in iTunes when connected to computer

    Hey, I've tried 2 different connectors but it's not registering at all. At first the computer registered it but acted like it was a digital camera or some other device and would let me into folders but wouldn't open it in iTunes, and now I'm getting nothing from it - any thoughts?! Thanks

  • Ipod Nano not recognized by itunes but appears on the explorer. Log message

    My ipod doesn't appear on itunes but is recognized by windows. It used to work before.
    I have found several answers to this problem but no one can't solve the problem : 5R, Terminal Service, Ipod Service, Restore, Reset, Usb, Last version of Itunes....
    With the last version of Itunes, I have launched the diagnotisc and the result is four green led.
    I have recorded the log file and into this one there are few message that show errors (I have copied only interesting messages):
    [SERVICE: 0x140,08:48:25 ERROR] Did not find first letter of stage
    [SERVICE: 0x980,08:51:21 INFO] Device 1 not in intermediate state. It appears to be truly mounted.
    [SERVICE: 0x980,08:51:21 INFO] File does not exist!
    [SERVICE: 0x980,08:51:21 INFO] [1] CreateFileW error 0x3
    [SERVICE: 0x980,08:51:21 INFO] [1] WriteNewPrefs FAILED!
    [SERVICE: 0x980,08:51:21 INFO] [1] ReadDevicePreferences() failed!
    I can't understand these messages but I have the feeling that they have a relation with the hidden file Preferences store in ipod_control\device
    When I tried to open Preferences with "bloc note" of windows it doesn't work. Maybe this file is corrupted seen that I can open the file "SysInfo" which is in the same repertory. When I format the Ipod with FAT32, these files reappeared with the next power on and I have always same problem.
    Does anyone know if this file "Preferences" is readable with a valid iPOD?
    What mean "Did not find first letter of stage?" of the log message?
    Thanks for your answers,
    Nicolas

    If its brand new and doing this, return it with receipt.

  • My G3 Won't appear on Itunes or Desktop. Think I've tried everything...

    I have a MAC OS X Version 10.3.9
    My generation 3 Ipod won't appear on ITunes or my MAC desktop.
    I have tried all of the suggestions on the page everyone kindly directs me to (docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950).
    I have borrowed several cables to no effect.
    I can't restore my Ipod ( because it won't communicate with my MAC)
    I have a 100 GB external HD with firewall.
    The last time my Ipod worked it was plugged into the external HD.
    Should I buy a new cable with a USB plug?
    Do I have dead "plug-ins" on my MAC?
    Help...I need my daily podcasts for the hour-long commutes.
    Thanks
    iMAC   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I have tries the cable on another Mac and my ipod did appear. So the problem lies with the Mac and not the iPod.
    Will a USB connector help? What other things should I try. Help!

  • 5G iPod won't appear on my desktop or iTunes using USB 2.0

    My new 5G iPod won't appear on my desktop or iTunes when I have it connected to a new 2.0 USB card in my G4 733. I know the USB card works because my old iPods work through it. My new iPod only will work through the old USB 1.0 port. I've reset it (with it attached to the computer) and done all that Apple says to do.

    I am having a similar problem with my Nano. Shows up in itunes, but freezes up under USB 2.0. Other devices work fine on the card, usb 1.1 has no problems, and if I update music on my nano on the 1.1 port, and then plug it into the 2.0 port I can still update Calenders onto the iPod via iTunes.
    Also, i applied the ipod updater and since this was happening under Panther, upgrading to Tiger made no difference, so I can't see this being a software error.

  • How come my iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes?

    My iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes. I've never had any problem like this until we got that new charger and USB cord that comes with the 5th Generation. We just barely managed to get it to charge with my HP laptop. Before the device was considered "unknown" and was rejected by my computer, but then I found an article that said to uninstall the USB driver or whatever, and we did so, so now it's able to charge. We got all happy, thinking that it was going to apear in iTunes now, but it's still not there. It's said to be "Apple iPod" whenever it pops up after being connected to the computer, but it doesn't open in iTunes. I tried going under "File" and then "Device", and then trying to sync, but it appears gray and won't let me click on it. I don't know how to get it to open there. Can anyone help me? Please?

    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try again.
