Why does my iPod show up in iTunes when it is not attached via usb? nor is it being charged.

Is it something to do with how my wireless setup is set?  Or is it due to the new iOS 5 or iCloud.  Unless I have a logical answer, this is going to be a standing annoyance.

If it's the same on the iPod, as it is on the iPhone, then you probably have "Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi" enabled:
Click on your iPod under "Devices" in iTunes and check the "General" tab.

  • Why does my printer show up as "busy" when it's not?

    The situation is this: I set up my HP Laserjet 1200 via AirPort and everything worked fine until I started printing a pdf document from a client. As it was processing, I noticed that it was set up for US Letter paper instead of A4 (my default). So I went into the printer queue and deleted the print job. I also briefly turned my printer off and then on again, because it was still flashing; trying to print the deleted job. Then I changed the page setup in the document, and pressed "print" again. The printer icon started jumping up and down, and I was told in an error message that it could not connect to the printer: it was busy. It was not!
    I have temporarily connected my printer back to my iMac, but would like to have it working through AirPort instead, so any help would be much appreciated!

  • Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

    Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

    For both
    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.

  • How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?

        How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?  Currently it only syncs when I manually click on sync.
        Somehow I do have my 5th gen. iPod set up to sync automatically with the same iTunes / computer.  But I do not actually see a checkbox for either device.
        (yes, the 'prevent devices from automatically syncing' is unchecked)
    thank you!

    Turn off mobile data?
    Talk to your carrier about the usage increase.

  • TS3694 Why does my ipod keeps powering off, and when I turned if on, I have to press down the power button and the screen button at the same time ???

    Why does my ipod keeps powering off, when I have to turn it on ... I have to press on the power button and the screen button at the same time ??? over and over again. I just got this in December 2011 as a gift.

    I am having similar 'freezing' problems with many programs (Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.). I have done a clean install of Lion instead of an upgrade when it came out. Perhaps something went wrong with my install? I'm thinking about wiping and reinstalling.

  • IPhone 4S only shows up in iTunes when connected to the laptop through USB, even though wifi sync has been enabled

    Why will my 4S only show up in iTunes when it is connected to the laptop through USB? Even though I have ticked the box for the wifi sync and had no problems with it being plugged into the wall and still showed up in iTunes up until a few days ago. Help please !

    Connect your iPhone to your computer and click on it, you should see an option under options for 'sync with this phone over wi-fi' unclick it and it should stop connecting over wifi.

    Hello Raytw8425,
    It sounds like your phone is not recognzied in iTunes anymore. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
    1. Update iTunes
    2. Check the USB cable
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts
    If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    Do you have iTunes set up to sync manually? That is required to drag and drop

    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent syncing those songs? Settings>General>Restrictions
