When I plug my iPod in nothing pops up!
You know when you plug an iPod in and that little window pops up and it let you import your photos? That won't pop up for my iPod touch 4th generation. I am plugging it in to the USB port on my computer and I want to import my photos and that little window does not pop up.
Did you try this:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
Next I would
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

HT1414 when i plug my ipod in nothing pops up?
When i plug my ipod in nothing pops up is there another way to restore your ipod on itunes or is there a way to fix this issue and have an icon pop up?
Try:
- 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 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.

When I plug my ipod in, nothing is in my itunes library?!
When I plug my ipod in, nothing is in my itunes library. I have been having some computer problems, but now there is nothing in my library. When I try to add a cd to my ipod it just goes straight to my library. My library is empty...HELP!!!
Glad I helped a little... With the computer issues your having I'm out of my depth. Is you library backed up in the cloud or on an other hard drive? At least then you could try a few things, but you're right, you may loose everything! Good Luck. Have you talked with a computer god about your issues? Sorry-- I can't help you more.

The cord works, theusb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall charger it works, but when I plug it into the computer, nothing, not even charging. P.S. it worked before I updated it to iOS 6.1.5
You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

What was the exact error message you received? When you removed and re-installed iTunes, did you use the precise instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process?

Ipod is Disabled connect to itunes , plug it to itunes nothing pops up and it wont let me recover...
Ipod is Disabled connect to itunes , plug it to itunes nothing pops up and it wont let me recover...
I have the same problem, first the usb itunes screen (pic above) showed up randomly. The computer recognized it at first, saying it was in recovery mode, blah blah. I tried to take it out of recovery mode, but the moment it shut off, the apple logo appeared and didn't go away. This kept happening, so eventually, I chose to 'restore' in itunes. It began to download and install this ipod software update (I'm pretty sure I already had the update). After that, I got this wierd error message, saying I couldn't restore. The ipod, which had the apple logo since the first restore, was then "unidentified" by itunes, and it dissapeared off of the devices list. (Note I did not even touch the cable, and it wasn't syncing anyways) I tried some other ipod USB's, done the recovery mode thing about 10 times, but no avail. Every time I try to do the recovery mode, the screen shuts off for about a second, then the apple logo appears and stays there until I try to recover it again. I have tried almost everything; plugging it back into the computer, plugging it into another computer that it has been recognized on before (which by the way is a mac). I've restarted the computer a number of times, checked for updates for itunes, and searched the web for solutions, but nothing. This is a 4rth gen 32gb ipod.

When I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?
when I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?
Try a different USB port on your computer. If your using a PC, the port on a keyboard is not strong enough; plug it into a USB port on the computer tower.
Be sure to wait awhile; mine sometimes takes a couple minutes to connect.
Another tip would be to open i-tunes before plugging ipod in.
If it still doesn't work, try resetting your ipod by turning the hold button on and off, then pressing and holding the center and menu buttons until the Apple logo shows up. When ipod returns to main screen, plug it into the computer again.
If nothing works, you may have a bad connection cord. -

Obviously not too smart with all this technology. I puchased a Blackberry Playbook Tablet and wanted to sync my itunes music, so following directions on the Playbook, I downloaded this app - Daniel Bingham Itunes sync - and when I went to my pc, I pulled it up, plugged in my Playbook and it did sync all my music from my Itunes library to the Playbook. However, now when I plug an ipod in my pc to charge or sync more music, my pc is not showing it recognizes any of my ipods being plugged in. It makes no mention of any of my ipods being connected! I also keep getting this "Found New Hardware Wizard" box that keeps popping up everytime I plug an ipod in - it originally showed up when I had Playbook plugged in to download all its info (I think) but it never completes, saying not compatible - so I click cancel. I have since clicked on remove New found hardware but it still pops up. Why does it continue to show with every Ipod now? Any idea on what I can do to repair this situation? Please help!

I am having a problem when I plug my iPod into my macbook. When I plug the cable into my mac I get the following message - "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, your USB device has been disabled." CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
The rest of the message in the pop up window says "To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much power has been disabled. Other devices may have also been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again."

When I plug my iPod classic (only three months old) into iTunes, it doesn't show up as a device on iTunes. I plugged it in to update last nightm, but all my music was erased and now it isn't even recognized. The iPod itself shows it being connected, but nothing on iTunes. Any ideas would be appreciated. eta2359

When I plug my iPod in to my computer iTunes crashes!
HELP!!! I've owned this iPod Mini for three months and now when I plug my iPod Mini in to my Mac labtop computer iTunes crashes and there isn't any more music on my iPod!!! What can I do????????
in time, your ipod will die permenantly. i know, its not a good thing to hear but yes, its surprising that you got it to work at all after it being through the washer. it was very smart to let the water dry out. i know people who panic and turn it on immidiatly to see if it still works. they wonder why it turns on, then off and never back on. but, sadly the water got into your hard drive. there is nothing you can do about it. dont try to open your hard drive though because they are made and assembled in dust free rooms. and i dont care how often you vaccuum, there is still dust in the air. where these things are assembled, the air is actually sucked out of the room so it is literally dust free. opening your hard drive will just make it worse, and may actually never work again if you do so. i have been repairing ipods for a year now, so if i were you, take my word for it.

When i plug my iPod in, it does not recognize it...HELP
When i plug my iPod Nano 2nd Generation in to anything-AC adaptor or computer- it starts charging, then all of a sudden stops charging after about two seconds. When I plug it in to my computer, iTunes doesn't pop up like is used to. This started after i tried to use my sister's cable on it (It fit, but now it doesn't work with either). Please, if you have any suggestions, help. I've tried to reset it and everything.
