  • My iPod does not mount to the desktop!

    Under my system profile, my computer recognizes that my iPod is present, yet it does not mount to my desktop or iTunes. What could be wrong?

    Good, I'm not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try.
    Here's a way to do it without Terminal.
    In finder, go to the "Go" menu and choose "Go to Folder". In the box that opens, type "/Volumes". When that opens, you are looking at the devices mounted to the operating system. If no iPod is there, then even though the system sees the device, for some reason it can't mount it at all.
    If you have permissions problems, then you might have to enable the root account. If that's the case I can give you directions on how to do that, but I don't think you'll need it as long as you are an Administrator of the computer.
    If that folder opens, and you don't see your iPod, let me know. Even though I have seen this happen a bunch of times, I'm having trouble recreating it at the moment, so I can't test to see if I can manually mount it. I'd like to try to give you directions to do so.
    Otherwise, if you see an entry for you iPod, try clicking on it and see if you get in.

  • Ipod touch does not mount

    ipod touch 4G ios 6.0.1, iTunes 11, OSX 10.7.5.  When I attempt to sync with a wire, iTunes does not always recognize the ipod.  I need to reboot the entire system to get it to work properly. Any thoughts?

    I have the same problem. I have to reopen iTunes first, then reboot the iPod, and everything seems to work fine. But I have to do that pretty much all the time unless it's within a couple of minutes of quitting iTunes. [I have OS 10.6.8, iTunes 11.0.1, and the latest iPod OS update.]
    I also noticed that when the two ARE connected, I often have to recheck the sync calendars button in iTunes, which doeesn't seem to hold. I wonder if there's a connection....

  • Ipod touch does not turn on the screen shows USB cable and ask to connect to the itune, itune message pops up can not connect because it is locked with pass code how can i turn on this device?

    My son's ipod touch 3 screen shows a USB cable image and ask to connect to the itune. Itune does not connect with the message shows: this device is locked and can not be connected to the itune before you unlock it" I have no idea how to turn on this device and how to connect this to the itune, any help is highly appreciated.

    Try to get it to recognize it by using DFU Mode. Then restore.

    If you can, try a different USB port.
    If you can charge the iPod from a wall outlet, charge to 100%, then try connecting to your Mac.

  • I recently updated to Itunes 12.0.1.  Since then, the Music tab under my Ipod Touch does not give me the option to automatically use ITunes Match to sync all my music.  Now my Ipod memory is full, which is creating a problem.  How do I fix this?

    I recently updated to Itunes 12.0.1.  Now, when I plug in my Ipod and go to the Music section, the Itunes Match option is unavailable.  Which means that my music is taking up too much memory on my Ipod Touch.  How do I re-enable the IMatch option so that my music will automatically be in the cloud?

    Hello pib1617,
    iTunes Match can be enabled on your iPod Touch via Settings -> iTunes & App Store.
    Turn on iTunes Match. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Sign in if you haven’t already.

  • Why the iPod Touch does not support GPS Bluetooth Reciever

    Why the iPod Touch does not support Bluetooth GPS.
    I had to make a jailbreak justto install and use roqyBT a Bluetooth GPS receiver,
    This aplication run witch these software:
    TomTom
    Navigon
    iGO
    Maps
    Google Earth
    Around me
    And run wich several receives as iBT 747, QSTARZ Q-1000, Holux M-1000 and my Nokia LD-3W.
    But I didn´t like to use Jailbreak, I only make the jailbreak to use a GPS bluetooth.

    Ipod touch supports bluetooth for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer to peer apps from the app store.
    Why is not a question that can be answered here.
    Only Apple would know.

  • TS2771 why my iPod touch is not turning on

    why is that my iPod touch does not turning on???

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch does not appear in tunes

    My ipod touch does not appear in itunes when I plug it in.  I have tried everything I can think of, including erasing all content on the ipod, starting over, restarting the computer, etc.  When I restart the computer, sometimes iPHOTO comes up automatically, but iTunes shows no device connected.  What should I do next???  HELP!  (I just installed Snow Leopard OS, if that might have something to do with it)....

    I have the latest iTunes version installed.  I tried all the USB ports.  I will take the pod home and try it in one of our computers there.  Other things plugged into the USB ports work fine.  Any idea why it would recognize the ipod as a camera, but not appear as an ipod in itunes?

  • IPod Touch does not sync any info

    hey there, my problem is that my iPod Touch does not sync anything from the "info"-section shown in iTunes, neither Contacts nor Calendar nor Mail Accounts...
    In contrast it's no problem with my iPod nano (1. gen).
    i hope that someone can help me. thank you and excuse my shabby English. _
    everytime i try to sync Contacts and so on, i get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync 'Contacts' to the iPod, because the Sync-Server can't sync the iPod" (i tried to translate the originally German message...)

    Im having this problem as well and it really defeats the purpose of having a calendar on here if it won't work. Mine seems to only want to try to sync one of my 6 calendars I want to carry with me, but even then that one calendar doesn't update all events. It's very selective/random.
    I also find that the odd photo album is randomly ignored. But the iCal sync is important for me. Why Apple just doesn't allow a direct link from iCal allowing multiple calendars is beyond me. If the iPod Touch is running a copy of OS X anyway, why not just make the Calendar app basically identical to iCal? And make it work!

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

    I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods."  Here are my suggestions.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
