Zen Touch Doesn't Appear in Device Mana

Ok, so I can't get my player to connect NOMAD explorer says "Not Connected", but the device isn't even showing up in device manager.
I've installed all the lastest drivers, software, and tried using a different USB cable and different ports (all of which I know work), but to no avail. HELP PLEASE.

Did you expand the "Uni'versal Serial Bus controllers?" It should be in that list after you expand (the player has to be plugged in when you do this). If it isn't there, your computer has no idea anything is connected, at that point try a different cable cause it's probably the problem. You could also try a different usb port to see if it will recognize the player(if you haven't tried that already).

Ipod touch doesn't appear under devices. message - file not found.

My ipod touch doesn't appear under devices when I plug it into the computer. My mac tried to sync with the ipod touch and then gave me the message "ipod touch could not be synced. File not found." This just suddenly started. What file? and what happened to it? help, please.

PROBLEM SOLVED - I did not know that in itunes under "devices" there is a "hide" and "show" if you mouse over the area to the right of the word "devices". My ipod touch was somehow hidden. I still do not know why I got the "file not found" message.

Back-up / Retrieve Files from an external hard drive that doesn't appear in Devices

Someone please help!
I am going to write the "history" from my disk utility repair here so that other's who copy and paste into search may find it:
(PLEASE SCROLL 13 ROWS DOWN)
Verify and Repair volume “Your Hard Drive Name”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.

Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Ok. I would really love to reformat this disk, but I have stuff on here from film school that I CAN NOT lose
Question:
How would I go about backing-up the disk if the image doesn't appear under devices? I went to the "Restore" tab/button, but I can not choose the hard drive in the first field. I could have sworn my hard drive was formatted for Mac, but I may have formatted it back to FAT32. I know the disk still functions because when it is powered on, it cycles with/without being connected to my MacPro, but after that, it will only cycle if connected (confirming connection). It does run again when I connect the firewire cable. Here is my equipment:
8-Core MacPro 16GB-Mem RAID
MacOSX 10.6.8 | 2 X 1TB Internal HDD
Aug-2008 15" MacBookPro
(That I used the Maxtor-External with mostly)
DEVICE IN QUESTION
500GB Maxtor One-Touch Plus
FireWire 400 6-pin Connection Bus (2 Ports)
Purchased in Early 2008 from Staples
I can fit the back-up on my 2nd HDD in my MacPro or in my other External:
2 TB G-Technology G-RAID External
1 x eSATA | 2 x FireWire 800 9-pin | 1 x USB 2.0
Self Powered DC-IN
I have had a nightmare searching for answers, so any options you might have would be tremendously helpful. I can't lose the data because I have everything I did during film school on there. That stuff is basically what you pay for when you go to film school, you pay to show what you can do and what equipment you have used. SAVE ME FELLOW APPLE PEOPLE!!!! We COMMAND, as well as CONTROL!

Get Disk Warrior that will repair the problems without requiring that you reformat the drive - $99.00 on a bootable CD. Will not work on a FAT formatted drive.
You will need to use Drag and Drop to save your files by copying them from the bad drive to a good one.
To reprep the drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Hello,
Take a look at the Apple support article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274, iPad: Basic troubleshooting. In particular the section "If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad" might be useful as it leads to a Troubleshooting Assistant.

IPhone doesn't appear as device and sync of local files has stopped working

Oh my god!! why is it so complicated to do something that simple. Add a feature that lets us add our own mp3 directly in spotify with spotify managing them as itunes would (saving in right directory with renaming etc. Make people use your app instead of itunes) And automatically sync the content with devices. It's just too complicated now.. go to prefs add a custom source folder, put all the songs there.. go back to main screen and try to find the iphone (that never appears, I don't even know how to look for it). I never succeeded in adding my mp3. Now I can't see my device anywhere either. I added the song on the desktop app, but with some pain (first tried with itunes source but that doesn't refresh automatically and even if I restarted the app nothing appeared) so I chose the 'folder' source (quick and dirty way to add songs). I added the song to a playlist and tried to sync with my phone (on the same wifi yes).. no nothing happens, the song is there (on the phone) but greyed out (when I click on it it says content not synced, connect the phone on the same wifi bla bla bla) I don't know why it's so complicated.. From the beginning of spotify it never has been userfriendly, even when the phone appeared in device I always had problems and gave up. Hurry up guys! Apple released there own fully integrated streaming service so if we can't play our songs in the same app we will use the one that let us do that. Hopefuly some day we won't have to do this anymore if the streaming services get common and used by everybody, it will put some pressure on artists and they will see that this is the future. Sorry if I may appear rude.. It's getting late and I'm tired.Keep going guys you're doing a great job. But please fix this asap. I'm starting to have a lot of songs that are not on spotify :( And no I don't want to reinstall the iphone app. I don't want to loose my preferences and have to sync my 10gb songs all over again. (Yes I only use spotify localy, I don't have an 'unlimited' data package). Bye :) and as Bon Jovi would say.. ♫♫♫ Have a nice day! ♫♫♫

Until just recently, connection between iPhone app and Windows (7) app has worked fine. I've been able to sync local files to my mobile device. Since two-three weeks ago it hasn't worked. Some Windows updates have been installed and Spotify app has been upgraded. I know I'm on same WiFi and that the iPhone has memory space for the sync, and I'm doing the exact same procedure as always before. I've also tried on both my jobs WiFi and at home. Any ideas?

Apple TV (1G) doesn't appear in devices list when connected via ethernet

After upgrading to OS X Lion and iTunes 10.4 my Apple TV (1G) doesn't appear in the devices list when connected via ethernet. When I switch to wireless lan the device is shown and the sync process starts but can't copy the new films. The copy operation stops every time and sometines the device disappears from the list.
Despite of the upgrading of OS X and iTunes all the settings are unchanged.
Anyone an idea?

Since my last update, I've gathered more information. I'm almost certain this is not entirely a 10.7.1 issue, if an issue in 10.7.1 at all. 10.7.1 may have changed something that caused this issue to appear,but where I was having this problem weekly if not daily, I no longer have the problem. I changed routers. I was using a new D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit RouterDIR-655. This router was causing me pain with lock ups. I replaced it with a Cisco Linksys E4200. I have not had a lockup in over 2 months now and not one sync issue with Apple TV nor my new iPhones, which sync wireless to iTunes on my Mac Pro.
Thinking about how my network is wired leads me to believe the issue was in the router, or maybe a network communication change in 10.7.1 that the DIR-655 was not supporting correctly. My MacPro and a few other hardwired access points in my house go directly to the router. My AppleTV and Airport Extreme are connected to a Gigabit switch and the Gigabit switch is then connected to the router. I also turn off the wireless capabilities in my routers, as I prefer to let my Airport Extreme handle those duties. This all means my normal hardwired communication path from my Mac Pro to Apple TV was going through the router, to the switch, to the Airport Extreme and then to my AppleTV. My Apple TV is connected to the LAN port on the Airport extreme. By going wireless on the MacPro, I was bypassing the router altogether.
As I started out saying, since I replaced my router, my sync issues have also gone away. If your having Apple TV sync issues, you might want to look at the router as well. Also, while I can’t remember the exact settings, I had opened up or enabled UPnP and other router settings in the DIR-655 to see if that would resolve the sync issues and it did not. In the end, I just spent the money and bought a new router and life is good now.

Zen Touch doesn't work with Napst

I just got a Zen Touch, thinking that it works with Napster files. AM I mistaken? When I try to transfer Napster files I get a "license missing" error. (I am a current Napster subscriber).
Help!

The pay downloads should work. The Zen Touch will have to support Napster To-Go (and you'll have to pay more per month) to transfer the things you download as a part of a premium subscription.
But again, the $.99 downloads should transfer.

Iphone doesn't appear in «devices» category when I try to synch it

When I connect my device (iPhone 4S) to my computer (which one is under Windows XP), my computer recognize my iphone as a camera. When I open iTunes, a speech box appears and says: «Iphone can't be used because Apple Mobile Device isn't launch.». I read the help section on Apple's site but it didn't help me. Maybe this problem happened to someone else !?
Please help me because I'm not able to synchronize my iPhone anymore.

Did you already make sure that Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and active on your computer?

Ipod touch doesn't appear in itunes (usb).

one morning my computer wouldn't boot. it was windows xp xp3.
turns out bios is dead and unfortunately destroyed c drive and so i cannot recover windows etc. fortunately itunes library on another still working drive.
new computer has freshly installed wxp xp3, but i cannot get itunes to see ipod. seperate (non)issue, itunes see library fine.
no other obvious windows problems.
ipod works fine, windows sees ipod but gives a triple-chime, device manager has yellow !.
ipod is seen by a livelinux on this pc, and it mounts to itunes perfectly fine on my other computers.
windows xp sp3 itunes 10.5.2.11. not sure of ios on ipod, not yet 5 but otherwise quite recent.
done ts1538. carefully. including links to other articles.
no security software.
help!

this turns out to have been a usb2.0 problem. although i have (only) usb2.0 ports, windows doesn't advertise it. i repeatly tried to update the motherboard (asus ku8) drivers with the latest usb drivers but it didn't help. device manager showed only "open" controllers, not "enhanced".
what did help is using device manager to update the usb host controller; this seems to have over ridden the manufacturer's motherboard drivers and causes the usb controllers to be seen as 2.0 "enhanced".
for now, this is no longer a problem for me, i was able to get the ipod recognized.

Zen touch hard dr

The hard dri've on my zen touch doesn't appear to be working.
It started freezing when skipping tracks.
Then I loaded it into recovery mode and tried to reinstall the firmware, but again it just froze.
Now I can only access my player in recovery mode and creative media source isn't recognising any of my 0GB of music.
The hard dri've makes a clicking sound when it's starting.
The thing is less than 60 days old, and week on I still haven't had an email response and the phone line was closed on friday and leaving me on hold for ages on thursday?
What kind of complimentary phone service makes me dial an international call only to leave me on hold?
Any suggestions/similar experiences.
And how can I get an RMA number? Is it only via the phone line?

I'm on my 3rd Zen because of alleged hard dri've failures (serious clicking sounds etc). However I have discovered that if you reboot it with a paperclip in the hole on the side while pressing the play button continuously, after the third or fourth attempt you can get into the "clean, format etc" menu. In other words keep trying with the reboot before going through the agony of changing the player. Incidentally I have found the staff on the helpline (based in Ireland) really helpful.
Good luck!

IPod doesn't appear in iTunes or Device Manager.

My iPod has worked fine, until I plugged it into my computer, and attempted to upgrade to version 1.1.4, now my iPod touch doesn't appear when I plug it into my computer. It doesn't appear in iTunes, or in the device manager, it does however start charging. Also, it has completely wiped the enitire memory (Music, photos, videos etc).
I have tryed the "5 R's", restart, reset etc etc. None of it works. I have tryed re-installing everything (iTune, quicktime, etc) and that doesn't work.
I've tryed hard and soft resets, and I've tryed restarting the Apple Mobile Device thingy.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME
Pretty please

I figured it out
You have to put you iPod in recovery mode.
You do this by...
Turning off your iPod properly (hold the top button in for 6 seconds, slide the slider)
Then you hold the home button, an while your still holding it down, connect to your computer.
Keep holding, keep holding when the apple comes up, keep holdin until you see the 'Like to iTunes' picture.
Then iTunes should say it detects an iPod in recovery mode, an it should happen from there
