Why Doesnt My 30gb Ipod Doesnt Pop Up on Itunes

my ipod doesnt pop up on itunes since yesterday i been tryin to put new songs but i cant cause it dont pop please someone help

When you connect your iPod to your computer, is it flashing the Do Not Disconnect symbol?
If it is, try the steps in the articles I posted above, if you haven't already.
If it's not...
First, try a different USB port. If you're still having the same problem, try a different USB cable.
Let us know if you're getting any error messages when you plug in the iPod.
If you're on a desktop computer, sometimes it helps to have the iPod connected directly to a USB on the BACK of the computer tower. So, if you're connecting your iPod to a USB on the monitor, or on the keyboard, or the front of the tower, try a port on the back. Also, if you're connecting the iPod through a hub, skip the hub and connect DIRECTLY to a port on the computer.
If you've done all this and it still isn't working, let's see if the iPod shows up in the Device Manager.
Click on Start, right click on My Computer, click on Manage.
In the left-hand column click on Device Manager
Does anything in there represent your iPod? Does it have a yellow triangular warning symbol on it? (Note that you may want to check under Disk Drives and Universal Serial Bus controllers if you don't see it).
If you're seeing something that indicates it is the iPod (you can double click on them to see more info) double click on it and choose the option to uninstall the device. Then, restart the computer with the iPod attached and let it go through the normal process of installing new hardware. Then see if you can get iTunes to recognize it.

  • 30GB iPod won't connect to iTunes applications and is now frozen

    So I'm nearly useless on a computer and I recently received a 30GB iPod for Christmas. It had been running fine until about two days ago when I had my computer updated and installed a 200GB hard drive keeping my older hard drive as a slave.
    Once I did that and transferred my iTunes to the active hard drive I couldn't get my iPod to work anymore.
    It no longer shows up in iTunes and the iPod updater doesn't even recognize it. It only shows up as an external hard drive under "my computer" heading. I've tried resetting it and it still doesn't work. I'm currently removing all of my iTunes files and reinstalling the whole lot in hopes that it may help fix the problem.
    Unfortunately now my iPod has frozen up and when I start it they only display is the title “disk mode”, a check mark and the “ok to disconnect” dialogue. And none of the buttons are responding so I can’t reset it.
    Has anyone else encountered this or have any advice on what to do?

    I have a somewhat similar issue.
    I cannot connect my 30GB video iPod to iTunes. The iPod plays my song files; however, when I connect the USB cable to my iPod the 'do not disconnect' image appears; furthermore, the iPod doesn't show up on the 'source panel' of iTunes.
    I still haven't figured out how to fix it.

  • Why doesn't iPod icon pop up in iTunes when plugged in???

    ^^^^
    How can I have the iPod icon appear on the source menu when I plug it in? I've had the iPod for two months and everytime I plug the iPod into the computer, the icon automatically appears in the source icon and the songs start to update. But I tried today, and no icon at all. I haven't done anything different to the computer either. How can I update my iPod?
    Thanks,
    JayDee

    Look for these programs in Task Manager > Processes tab
    click the box to show processes from all users
    Click on "Image Name" to sort alphabetically
    ItunesHelper.exe - should be running under your account
    iPodService.exe - should be running under SYSTEM account
    iTunes.exe - should be running under your account
    Are they all there?

  • Why won't my iPod touch connect to my iTunes on windows 7?

      It has nothing to do with the usb, restarting the computer or ipod, restoring the ipod, or any of that. What else could it be?

    It's not an ipod problem. It connects to my computer and charges, it just won't connect to iTunes.
    I don't have the newer version of iTunes because it won't let me install it. Whenever I try to update my itunes to the newer version this pops up:

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • Why won't my iPod touch show up in iTunes or Windows, tried ALL the support troubleshooter "fixes"

    Hi:
    I've had this problem since first connecting the Ipod. It won't show in either iTunes nor in Windows explorer/my computer. I've also tried the same 
    setup on Windows 7, same PC a with a dual-boot with XP Pro setup. I've carried aout all the troubleshooting steps suggested here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 & re-installed all necessary software, latest versions.Can't find any conflicts on PC.....anybody got any suggestions?
    BTW iPod is 3rd. generation.

    It turns out that I had to reinstall iTunes from scratch. I got the tip from
          iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier
    I'm 95% sure it had to do with me installing Xcode 4 to get the "FileMerge" utility for some other development effort totally unrelated to Xcode.
    Regardless, it's working again.

  • 30gb ipod not showing up in itunes and desktop

    My iPod icon is not appearing on my desktop or on iTunes.
    Which therefore means I cannot load any music onto my iPod.
    I have tried:-
    - Resetting default settings on iPod,
    - Getting the latest updater for iTunes,
    - Installing from the iPod install disk,
    - changing USB ports,
    - Tried it on my work Mac.
    ...and still nothing at all.
    Please can someone suggest something else to try - I need new tunes on my pod!!!
    Thanks a lot

    It seems like we have the exact same problem. My Ipod had this problem, so i sent it in, Apple supposedly sent me back a brand new working Ipod, gues what!? THIS one doens't work either. The only trace of the Ipod being connected to my computer is in device manager and is labeled "storage device." Apple is really ******* me off right now, someone please help!

  • HT201269 Why can't my ipod shuffle be ejected from Itunes?

    This is the last problem I am having with my Apple product.  This is a brand new Ipod shuffle, to replace my first Ipod which broke, I have had so many problems getting it to work.  Among other things I got error messages and had to reinstall ITunes which I couldn't do but finally succeeded after visiting this community.  I am very annoyed right now.  I need help!  Must be a simple thing.  I just want to get to the gym!!!

    Hi,
    Thank you for helping me.  There was no Ipod shuffle community in the menu so I went for Ipod Touch, sorry about that.  In the end I ejected my Ipod Shuffle through my lap top, it works fine.  When I clicked on the eject button I got a message that the device was being used by antoher device or something like that. 
    To use my new Ipod shuffle I had to restore the original settings and was able to build a playlist for the gym, that's all I need!  Originally I wanted to use the voice over feature, I wanted my playlists from my Ipod nano to sync up to my new Apple device but that didn't work so...  I am not a techie and having to reinstall, restore and the like irritates me.
    Thank you for trying to help me.

  • Please help - why won't my Ipod songs transfer into new Itunes?

    I have a new Macbook, and want to move all the songs from my Ipod into my Itunes library on this computer. Nothing works. Can someone please help?
    Please note - currently my library is on my crappy HP. But I did read that you can transfer all songs from the Ipod alone (including those not purchased from Itunes).

    I use an application called Senuti. That transfers all content from your iPod to your Mac, including non purchased content. It's free and easy to use. With your iPod connected to your Mac, launch Senuti and the rest is pretty simple. I would suggest you create a folder on your desktop and set your destination to that folder in the Senuti preferences. Also, it's a good idea to keep everything organized by checking the artist and album boxes in the preferences as well. Like I said, it's pretty easy. Good luck.
