Windows Can Not See iPod As Removable Drive

This may have been discussed before, but when I attach my iPod to Windows through USB interface it shows up in My Computer for a few seconds, then disappears. Is there a way to stop this? I would like to be able to access my iPod drive without having to use iTunes alone.

Click here and follow the instructions.

  • I can not see my external hard drive that is hooked to my airport extreme

    I have hooked my iOmega 1tb hard drive to my airport extreme but can not see it on my macbook pro. need help to set this up

    This is unsupported by Apple. You must configure Airport Utility to turn enable File Sharing of the drive in Sharing preferences and in the AEBS configuration. Then you have to "mount" the drive on your Desktop by selecting Connect To Server from the Finder's Go menu.

  • I can not see my Seagate Extreme driver attached to the Airport from XP

    I have a Seagate drive connected to the Airport USB port. I can see the drive from the Airport Utility but I can't even see it in XP.
    I have tried mapping a drive \\10.0.1.1\Seagate Backup+ Desk 0342 (and lots of variations)
    and I have tried \\10.0.1.1 from the run window.
    Any ideas?

    What model airport with what firmware??
    Seagate Backup+ Desk 0342
    This is not a valid network name. Please change the share name of the seagate disk to something simple.. like seagate.
    \\10.0.1.1 from the run window.
    Do you have airport utility for windows installed.. this will make life much easier.
    Are you using wireless?? Do you have internet via the AE?
    In windows explorer type the address as you did in run.. if it doesn't connect are you sure you have the IP correct?
    Please ping it from the command window.
    If it responds to pings but you still cannot open it.. Airport utility can open the AE, then the firewall is set .. turn off all the firewalls.
    What format do you have on the disk? Can you see the drive and access it from a Mac??

  • Windows does not see IPod

    For some reason my son's computer doesn't see his IPod Nano anymore. Where do I find the windows driver for the Nano?

    When the ipod is connected to the computer, make sure the ipod shows "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen and the circle slash is blinking.
    If not use this article to help troubleshoot the ipod.
    This article also shows how to set up for service.

    If the ipod does go into "Do Not Disconnect", then this is a really good article for troubleshooting the ipod not showing in iTunes.

  • Windows 7 not seeing iPod classic 80GB

    I can't seem to get my ipod to load onto my computer. It WILL show up in devices and printers, and in the device manager. it will NOT show up in my explorer or in itunes. furthermore, itunes will freeze up entirely once i plug in my ipod, and it can't quit or end the process at all until i unplug the ipod. I also can't convince my computer to eject the ipod once i've plugged it in.
    i've run diagnostics, i've reinstalled, i've reinstalled the drivers, i've restored the ipod on another computer.
    the ipod will load and work just perfectly on a vista machine, and loads fine into itunes.
    Any help?

    Perfect, thank you.
    That one's got a P55 chipset, and they've been cranky with iPod and iPhone connections on Windows 7 systems.
    Are you up to date on your BIOS? (A number of folks with Gigabyte motherboards have been able to get past the P55 issues with BIOS updates.)
    Alternatively, you could try the BIOS configuration change described in the following post. (Unfortunately, not all BIOSes are user-configurable in this way.)

  • I can not see my external hard drive

    I recently bought a new external hard drive for my pc. I have pictures, music and family videos, however I can see any video or pictures on my iPad using the same he'd.

    I download all pictures and videos that I had in the windows pc  in the new hdd.  I am trying to see and watch  those files on my iPad . I am thinking that since the files are jpeg and mpeg the iPad should read it.
    Am I wrong?
    Yes, you are wrong.
    You need to add the files to iTunes on your computer, then sync the iPad with iTunes.

  • Upgraded to Lion and now can not see my external raid drive

    I had a raid array set up in snow lepord using the OS X raid controler on my iMac. After upgrading to Lion, the drive is not reconized and there is no raid control panel (that I can find) in Lion. Anyone have a solution that will prevent me from losing all my data? Or can I go back to SL? I installed from the app store. No warning or errors. This is not a boot disk, just a data storage. Of course my time machine backup is on it too!
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Upgraded and found my USB drive fine but the drives on my SATA card were gone. Found the drivers for the SATA card in the Incompatible folder.
    Seems LION is fussy about some things. I have a MacPro with a VANTEC eSATA 2 port UGT-ST450CB card that isn't being recognized (It's not that old of a card either).
    Hopefully the techs are reading this and going to have a fix.

  • Aperture can not see folders on Hard Drive

    Hi Guys, i have a problem that i cant seem to find an answer to.
    I have a mac pro with an SSD and 3 x internal drives. when i try to import files in to aperture i can see all the drives in the import dialog, and i can see all the folder contained therein, except for one of the drives. i can see the drive but no folders. If i use Lightroom i can see all the drives and all the folders contained in them. I have rebuilt the library i have even created a new library, but still no luck. Can anyone help.
    Thanks in advance

    Then I have no idea, sorry.
    Does Aperture at least see an image file, if you copy an image to the toplevel of that drive?
    Or if you sign into your Mac from a different user account? That will exclude problems caused by conflicting preferences files or import presets.

  • Can not see TC hard driver using istat pro or activity monitor

    I upgraded the firmware of TC to 7.4.1 yesterday, but I found the transfer speed was too slow and I noticed that I can not see the TC condition using istat pro or activity monitor. So I downgraded the firmware to 7.3.2. Now the transfer speed is fine but I still can not see the TC hard driver in the istat pro or activity monitor.(but I can access files in the TC hard driver normally)
    Can anyone help?

    I couldn't see my TC hard drive in iStat pro until I actually mounted the TC's Airport Disk using the Finder 'Connect to server' dialog. iStat Pro only gives me Used and Free GB for my Airport Disk. My TC is an old 500GB upgraded to 1TB running 7.4.2 firmware.
    As to checking the temperature, I'd be interested too. I have a digital thermometer taped to the top surface of the TC and it is reading 46C with an ambient of 17C. The TC sits on top of a cupboard with clear space around, and I am resting it on a spacer which lifts it 12mm clear of the cupboard to give it the best ventilation. The TC has been doing a long (08:00 - 21:00) Time Machine backup today.

  • Windows does not show ipod as a removable drive

    Hello Rea Meir,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Make sure the *Enable Disk Use* option is enabled for your iPod under it's Summary tab in iTunes. For more help and information, see this Apple support document.

  • IPod shuffle 2nd Gen....Can not see in iTunes or Windows

    Bought two iPods,one a Nano works fine the other a shuffle does not.
    I can not see it in either iTunes or Windows,it does appear to be charging via the USB Port (Lights Blinking etc) but nothing else.
    As I can not see it in iTunes I can not reformat or do any of the other fixes sugested by Apple.
    Now silly me I bought the items secondhand but unused so cant take this back to shop!
    Help,its really teeing me off!
    Thanks!

    Bought two iPods,one a Nano works fine the other a
    shuffle does not.
    I hope you're not connecting them to your computer
    simultaneously ... if so, connect one at a time.
    No connecting one at a time.
    I can not see it in either iTunes or Windows,it
    does
    appear to be charging via the USB Port (Lights
    Blinking etc) but nothing else.
    WHICH lights are blinking? The only normally
    blinking light should be orange...showing that it's
    in data mode AND that Windows recognizes it
    (assuming, again, that you haven't connected both
    iPods at the same time).
    It should show up in the system tray...
    Orange light flashes,does not appear in systems tray or in My Computer.
    As I can not see it in iTunes I can not reformat
    or
    do any of the other fixes sugested by Apple.

  • To connect my ipod to itunes with windows 8 not see the option to add to add songs from itunes library. As I can solve this?

    To connect my ipod to itunes with windows 8 not see the option to add to add songs from itunes library. As I can solve this?

    Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

  • Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- but can not see hidden files

    Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- read on how to do this, but this involves being able to see the hidden fiels -- but can not see hidden files...any suggestions. Would like to transfer these files from iPod Touch to new laptop without software -- is that possible -- if not can anyone recommend a good free software to use?

    There is no way to do so without software. I recently had a similiar task and was suggested to use iExplorer. It worked like a charm. 
    Refer to this page for iExplorer
    Here is the page I was helped with on this task for reference: Export Songs
    Hope this helps!

  • When downloading is complete, I can not see, run, nor access the file; it only appears in the "Downloads" window (and not the specified folder) and the only options permitted are to delete it, or to go to the download web site; what's blocking it?

    My PC's OS is 'MS Windows Vista Home Premium'. As my initil question states: When downloading, after the download completes, I can not see, run, nor access the file in it's designated folder. The download only appears in the "Downloads" window and the only "Right Click" options permitted are to "Remove From List", "Select All", & "Copy Download Link" I also can not double click to run it. What's blocking it?
    I have a similar problem when accessing .zip files that are attachments to my emails. Here, however, I can place the file in a designated folder, however, the .zip file and it's compressed content files are file-typed as "FireFox Document" and I get permissions errors when running an unzip tool.
    Why are my download files being quarantined ??? Is there a security setting option I need to change???
    To get around this, I'm using IE to download and install these files, but switching back & forth between FireFox & IE is a real pain.

    It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''
