Why isn't my Ipod showing up in Itunes on my new computer?

I bought a new computer, which runs on Windows Vista. When I go to connect my I pod to the computer, it shows up on my computer but does not show up in I tunes. What can I do to fix this issue? Thanks in advance for suggestions.

  • How do I transfer the music content on my old IPOD (click wheel) to Itunes in my new computer for subsequent transfer to a new IPOD

    How do I transfer music on my old IPOD( click wheel) to Itunes on my new computer(Windows 8) for further transfer to a new IPOD nano

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Can't add itunes library to my ipod etc since installing itunes on my new computer. HELP!

    I have just installed itunes on my new PC and am trying to add some songs onto an ipod.  The songs were purchases from the Itunes store.  I go through the process of drag and drop onto the device (its the same with my ipad and iphone) but it won't work.  Since installing itunes on my new computer I have bought an album off itunes and it downloaded with no problems - but any of my old purchases won't transfer over.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.  I haven't as yet transferred over my music libray from my old PC (songs that I burnt )  so not sure if it would be the same.  I would have thought that songs that have been purchased in itunes should easily transfer.  Help please?

    Move the files for your new purchases out to the desktop.
    Migrate your library properly from your old computer as given below.
    Move the files stored on the desktop into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder.
    Migrate iTunes Library
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I download music from my ipod nano to my itunes on my new computer?

    After buying a new laptop, I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes but after hooking up my iPod nano and turning on my home sharing the songs have not transferred from my iPod to my iTunes.  I am not sure what else I need to do.  If I sync my iPod and try to update it with my newest song purchases it will erase all of my old songs that are now only on my iPod.

    You need to copy your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one.  See How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support.  If you no longer have access to the old computer (or a backup of your data), see thus user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.  For future reference iPods are not designed or suitable for use a data storage device.
    Also, there is a built-in limitation such that any iPod can only be synced with one library a time.  When you install iTunes on a new computer, and do not transfer the complete library (database, media, artwork, ...) from your old one, iTunes will recognize this as a different library from that used for previous sync operations and will always erase the current content of the iPod before syncing from the new library.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • My devices no longer show up in iTunes on my new computer.

    Neither one of my devices (iPhone 5 and iPad 3) will show up in my iTunes on my new Asus Windows 8.1 computer. They show up as devices on This PC in Windows, but not on iTunes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything. I've stopped and started the Apple Remote Device app (don't remember the exact name...) and nothing is working... Getting really frustrated because I can't sync my photos from OneDrive
    Any ideas???

  • Why isn't my iPod being synced by iTunes?

    I'm running Windows 8.1 on a new laptop. For whatever reason, my older iPod (model MB754C) isn't syncing with iTunes. I tried to Restore to factory settings and now it won't load my music (that's all I have) onto my iPod. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!!!!!!

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    Are you receiving any error messages when attempting to synchronize your music?

  • Why won't my itouch show up in Itunes or in my computer?

    When i plug my itouch into my computer, it shows that it's charging but nothing pops up that it's been plugged in and it doesn't show up in my itunes. My itouch and itunes are both up to date. I've already tried unistalling itunes and reinstalling it and it doesn't help. I've also tried the trick where you got to the device manager and look for apple usb something and nothing is there, does anybody have any suggestions?

    You have a hardware issue.  Try a different USB port.  If that doesn't work, try a different docking/charging cable.  If that fails, check the USB properties in Device manager.  The ports MUST be USB 2.0.
    Also, try using a different computer....

  • I have a 5th Gen iPod Video, I no longer have the original computer i used to synch with, how do I get my music from my iPod on to my iTunes on my new computer?

    I have looked on here, and all I can see are solutions involving the use of both old and new computers, as I dont have the old one anymore I am hoping someone might have a workaround.
    Thanks

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

  • Transferring songs on Ipod to itunes library on new computer

    I recently purchased a new computer and would like my ipod to synch with itunes on my new computer rather than uploading all my music again manually--- extremely time consuming. How do I do this without losing everything that is currently saved on my ipod???

    Set your iPod to manual update. Do this on your original PC first then when you connect it to the new one, it won't auto-sync to the new empty library. There's a tutorial here:http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html
    If you no longer have your old PC read this before connecting to the new one: "How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93779
    If you still have your original PC, you can in fact use your iPod to migrate your current iTunes music folder to your new one: "How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173-en
