When I plug my ipod in it doesn't say "do not disconnect". I cant add music. Please help me!
Dell Windows XP
First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
iPod does not appear in iTunes.

When restoring the iPod, put it into disk mode first.

i plug my ipod in and the lightening icon doesn't pop up on the battery but that never appears. then i look later on and i will have full battery, but my ipod isnt charging at the moment and it doesnt connect to my computer?????????
Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

It also could be due to a defective Lightning cable. Other uses have had problems with the cable. -
Why when i plug my iPod Touch 4th gen in does it not ask me to upgrade to iOS 5?
my ipoid is a 4th generation touch and ive seen the upgrade for ios5 and when i plugged it in it was supposed to ask me if i wanted to upgrade and it never has. ive tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in but it wont ask me and i cant see that theres any other way to do it. also when i check the summary page and click on check for update it tells me that this is the current version.
it wont ask you if its already installed on it.
but you can always download it manually from internet and
connect your ipod back in itunes pess shift and click update for a pc, press options and click update for a mac. Then select where you saved the file after downloading.
befor that if the file is in .zip format you have to change it to .ipsw format for it to show in tunes......

hello all,
i normally shop on my ipod touch (because frankly i cant be bothered to plug it into itunes then shop! ) to shop for apps and song and etc. and because i have a wall charger in my room theres pratically no need to go the computer! so sometimes when im on the computer i want to use my ipod touch as well so i charge it on the pc.
well to cut the story short everytime i want to shop on itunes it comes up with this note that says "your ipod is synced with a different pc etc" then it comes up with erase and sync? so my question is what does syn mean? because im worried if i choose ok it would get rid of all my apps
- someone help me!- It means what it says. Your iPod is synced with a different iTunes library. To transfer purchases to this computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- If you want to make this computer your syncing computer see ths previous discussion:

My ipod has an itunes display on the screen. all i can do is turn it on and off. I plug it in to a computer and itumes opens and says it is a iphone instead of a ipod. Any help?????
Thanks
DaronTry:
- 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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have music on my PC that I would like to transfer to my Mac. I am getting rid of my PC and don't want to lose all the music on it. I was wondering if there is a way to sync the music on old computer to my new computer. I tried to sync my Ipod and Ipad to the Mac but because it is a new Itunes it was going to erase everything on my Ipod and Ipad. How do i avoid losing all music and apps on both of my devices?
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar. -
