TS3716 Why does my ipod not appear in itunes, but does appear on my macbook desktop?

It's a 5th generation ipod (I think) and says Connected Eject before disconnecting on its screen

Right or control click the iPod icon on the desktop then click Eject.
Disconnect the iPod then restart your Mac then launch iTunes connect the iPod.
See if it shows up under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.

Why is my iPod not recognized in iTunes?

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Why is my iPod not connecting to iTunes?

I have tried every USB port on my laptop and cannot seem to get my iPod to connect to iTunes so I can update the music on my idea. Any ideas?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

Ipod not recognized in itunes but is in windows

okay, what should i do here, i followed all the steps in the article on this on the support site, i reinstalled, disabled conflicting processes, every step in that article about if my ipod is recognized by windows but not itunes, what should i do now??? cuz i'm baffled, my ipod is flashing do not disconnect, and has the spinning icon in the top left corner indicating that it is doing something, is there anything i should do to get it recognized in itunes?

Hi, I kind of have a similar problem. I have two Ipods. One is an Ipod video and the other is a 4GB ipod nano. And i'm having problems with the nano. My girlfriend once disconnected while it was playing on itunes. Since then i haven't been able to get it to work. I've tried everything. Windows won't recognize it and neither does Itunes or the updater. When I open the updater it says initializing and it freezes. Itunes wont read it at all, and windows, well when i go to "safely remove hardware" it comes up there it says "Apple Ipod USB devie". I'm not sure if its recognizing it at all. But it wont disconnect it. The nano itself works fine! Well actually when she disconnected it the nano wouldn't turn off. Until i connected back to the computer and restored it. And thats when it wouldnt' come up on my PC. If anyone can please help me, or has had the same problem and worked around it, any advice will be greatly appreciated . . .thanks

IPod not seen by iTunes, but is seen by Explorer

Hi, I just bought an iPod 30GB and installed iTunes 7.1.1.5 and when I opened iTunes and plugged in the iPod, iTunes tells me something like this:
The application required to communicate with the iPod is not installed correctly. Reinstall iTunes to install the iPod application.
Naturally, I already have done that, but I also did everything I could find on "iTunes Help" and "iPod Help" regarding iTunes not seeing the iPod while Explorer does.
If anybody has any suggestions please reply.
Or if anyone ran into the same problem I am in and they could fix it. Please tell me how you proceded.
I am going at sea for the next two months, so I will look at all the suggestions once at get back and then give feed back on that at that time.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Pentium 4 Windows XP 2.4GHz, 1.5 GB RAM

At first, my iPod was working just fine with iTunes 7 then I started to get the same problems as others have been reporting. I found the solution but it was just better for me to go back to the previous version of iTunes(which gave me no problems) until iTunes 7 is fixed. So, I don't think Firewire has anything to do with it.

Ipod not connecting to iTunes but it is connecting to mac

Hi,
My Ipod classic stopped connecting to itunes a couple of days ago. I went and update itunes to the latest version and updated my mac to mavericks and it still is not connecting to itunes.
It appers on my desktop so I know it can connect to the mac and it will charge while connected. I also plugged in my ipad 2 and iphone and both of those can connect and sync with itunes. I used the same USB cable to do this too.
I have tired to just delete itunes and reinstall but I am not able to.

Hey there bxhonda,
It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod in iTunes, but you can see it on the desktop. I would use the following troubleshooting in the following article:
iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/#
Start with resetting your device. There are additional steps in the article to try if you need them:
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

After the latest update of iTunes does my iPhone and iPod not connect to iTunes but connects fine to Windows?

I recently updated iTunes and when I went to put music on my iPod, however, iTunes could not pick anything up even though windows was. I then tried my iPhone and I had the same issue. I have gone through the steps off this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, and my problem was not solved. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and got nothing. What should I do now?

I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and got nothing. What should I do now?
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Help - My 5th Generation Ipod not recognised by ITunes but 1st Gen Ipod is!

Can anyone help? This is driving me mad!
I recently purchased a 5th Generation 80gb Ipod. Before installing to my PC I downloaded the latest 7.2 version of ITunes together with quicktime. However whenever I plug my new Ipod in, nothing happens other than the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' appearing in XP asking for the driver to be installed and the Ipod Charging/displaying that it is fully charged.
I have spent hours going through the apple site and following their suggestions on this and have done the following:
Re-started the iPod service
Uninstalled and re-installed ITunes 7.2 (at least 5 times now!)
Deleted all my temporary folders and temp internet folders and cleared cookies, files, etc
Ran Windows Install Cleanup Utility to clean up any leftover installer files
Tried the Ipod in all of my USB 1 & 2 ports (My MESH PC is less than a year old)
I then contacted Apple Support who suggested I try my Ipod on another computer and if it didn't work to return it to them. So I duly installed iTunes (7.2) on my laptop at work and hey presto my Ipod was recognised and I was able to download a few tunes.
I glean from this that there can't be a fault with the Ipod itself??
Back at home I re- tried all of the things above and then after still no joy I connected my old 1st generation ipod to my pc and after some time ( at least 5 minutes) iTunes recognised the old ipod and syncronised. Using the same USB Port and the same cable I plugged in the new Ipod but still nothing happened other than being asked to install the driver once again!
Now all would be fine if I kept my music collection on my work laptop but unfortunately this is not possible and I could even get into serious trouble for having iTunes on there.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be really grateful as £200+ is a lot of money to pay for something that does not work!

The "driver" never was available from Apple. The driver files that Windows uses to communicate with an iPod are standard Windows OS drivers for a USB Mass Storage Device. If Windows cannot/does not recognize your iPod at all, not even at the driver level, it's likely an OS issue, unless the iPod fails to work on another computer as well. At that point you'd been dealing with a bad cable or bad iPod. Since another iPod works with the same cable, then it should be fine.
Try everything in this article that you haven't already tried:

IPod not recognized in iTunes, but my iPhone is

I used several different apple USB cords and they all recognize my phone, but not my iPod... It just charges
I plug my iPod into my laptop and its charging but no iPod icon is popping up in my itunes.. can someone help??? But my iPhone gets recognized instantly
Message was edited by: AlexV1

I don't know if this work 100%, since both my iPod Touch and wife's iPhone were not being recognized. Thus, I knew it was not the USB cable or ports. Worth a shot, though...
In one forum, I tried something and it worked.
In Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor, I stopped iTunes Helper.
Then I downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of iTunes.
Once I restarted iTunes and plugged in my devices, they appeared just like they used to.
Hope this helps.

My ipod shows up in itunes, but does not show up on my pc as a drive

my ipod show up in itunes - but does not show up on my pc as a drive
cannot figure out why it now doesn't show up

Maybe
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
Did it show before?
If you connect to another PC does the iPod show up in My Computer?
Have you installed only camera or scanner programs on your computer?

Ipod not appearing on Itunes...Please Help

It would be best to post your question in the general iTunes forums. This forum is for those administering iTunes U sites, so it's not the best place to ask general iTunes usage questions (which is probably why the original question has gone unanswered).

Why do my captions not appear in my image project?

Why do my captions not appear in my image project? Is there a command to turn them on?

Thanks in advance for your help.
OK so you are currently in Full Photo Edit and making a New Document
1 -- where in Elements did you type the caption on the photo?
For example
-- were you in the Organizer workspace when you typed in the captions ?
-- or were you in the Full Photo Edit using the PSE Text Tool when you typed in the caption ?
Note: My guess is that you entered the captions using the Organizer. That means that the caption will be in a metadata field within the photo file but you would not see the caption when manipulating a photo in the Editor.
2 -- Do you plan to print this 8 x 11 on your home printer ?
-- Knowing what you plan to do with the 8 x 11 will probably help to suggest alternatives that might give you the caption more directly.
-- Of course you could use the Editor Text Tool to paste each caption on to its image if nothing more automatic fits your needs for your custom layout.
