Upgraded, doesn't recognize my ipod now (SYS)

I made the mistake of upgrading my iTunes and now it doesn't recognize my ipod. Instead it shows an ipod in the Source window named SYS with none of my music showing up. I think it still is reading something on the ipod because it shows how full my ipod is, I just can't get to any of the music. I mostly use my ipod for listening to music through my computer so it's a bummer that I can't get to it, and there is music on there that I don't have the cd for anymore so I can't just reimport it. Also, I completely removed the new iTunes and reinstalled the iTunes I used previously and it still doesn't work.
If anyone has seen this before or has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I'm not very computer-literate so talk slow.. haha. Thank you!

Can you run the iPod updater software and get THAT to recognize the iPod?

  • I updated to iTunes 10.2.2, and now it doesn't recognize my iPod Touch!

    I updated my computer to Snow Leopard, and I was prompted to update iTunes to 10.2.2. Okay, did that. Now iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod whatsoever! But my computer does as a whole: i.e., Aperture automaticaly opens as it usually does when I plug in my iPod.
    So this is great. And there's no bug fix; I've googled for the past hour now. Is anyone else having this issue and is there a fix? Because for now, I can't update my iPod at all!

    Have you seen this article yet?

    If nothing else, try upgrading to iTunes 10.3.1.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPod out of the blue

    My USB cable recognizes my iPod because the battery icon on the top right corner will show that the iPod is being charged by the computer, but iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod and doesn't open anymore, even when I open it manually. I upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes, but it still doesn't work.

    No I didn't change anything about the software/hardware. All of the sudden iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod, but my computer obviously still recognizes it because my iPod will charge when it's connected to my computer. iTunes just doesn't recognize my iPod anymore, so I tried to download the updated version of iTunes (I got it from another site because I went to the download website on Apple and there weren't any directions or any pop-up boxes to allow me to download anything).

  • My desktop all of the sudden doesn't recognize my iPod Nano when I plug it in (gives me an error message).  I've tried everything!  HELP!

    Up until yesterday, my nano was syncing just fine with my iTunes.  Out of the blue my brand new desktop doesn't recognize my iPod Nano device.  I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  I've worked through all the diagnostics apple had to offer... but nothing.  Can you help?

    Does this problematic song play okay in iTunes?  Have you tried removing and resyncing it to your device via iTunes?

  • My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

    My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
    When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?
