Say So

Call apple tech support.

it used to work, but suddenley it doesn’t…

yeah… just call them up.

Or… did you put anything else on your iPod that shouldn’t really be on there according to the law? Because I think that if there’s something on your iPod that isn’t from YOUR computer… it might be messing things up.

ahh thats happend to me :(:( HEEEEEEEELP!! x

omg it’s happening to me too.

what is happening is, that if you have illegally downloaded some songs or put on some photos through the “copy and paste” method they are causing a problem and need to be deleted, then it will work.

your welcome.

This is because your iPod iTunes is not responding to your iPod. To fix this, you need to reset your iPod. Don’t worry, it won’t erase anything. Just hold the Menu and middle button for about six seconds until the Apple logo appears. After that, wait and your iPod should respond to your ccomputer again.

Hope this helps!

I have same problem. I tried to reset it, it still will only charge. I don’t have any options except library in itunes and most things are grayed out. I can’t take my photos off because there’s no photos showing on itunes. please help.

I finally got it working by reinstalling itunes. Hope it works for you!

your ASS is stupid because that isnt that hard to do

ok maybe someone here can help me. mine says it can’t be synced because all the playlist selected for syncing no longer exist but i still have all my music and stuff. i did something and all my music got erased from my ipod and i cant put it back on

no you don’t need to get a new ipod. that happened with mine too. it’s really kinda of a pain in the ass. you have to just kinda play with it and stuff cuz i had no idea what to do with it but some how i got my music on to it. but you don’t need to get a new ipod. read the manual and call circuit city or something.

the same thing is happening to my ipod as azz_01 everytime i plug my ipod in it shows up but i cant sync it just brings up the ipod software licence agreement

bj im getting so pissed with this $700 piece of crap i got the music on there through dropping the music folder on my ipod symbol but i cant get any of them off now argggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Vera—thank you!!!! The menu + midle button totally worked. It was driving me crazy. I just wish I had read your post earlier. I would have saved myself an hour of grief.

Ok my ipod was working fine until today. I plugged it in but nothing happened. I checked device manager and the driver needed to be updated.After doing that my itunes pops up with no songs and videos and i can’t connect ipod without erasing. Now i can’t remove or add music or anything. What should i do? Plz reply

And unlike the rest fo you I’m not loaded so I cant go out and buy another one and my dads gonna kill me!!! Plz help me ASAP

Im having the same problem as everyone else here. tried reseting it and thats not working. My ipod wont let me download the update for the newer version its just coming up as an error and unable to find device. It’ll charge and but cant load or unload any songs or photos.

if ur reinstal itunes will everything be deleted ?

pressing menu and middle buttons worked for me..thanks a bunch!

I cannot sync my NANO so that the title DEVICE will SHOW on the left hand side. The message is telling me ” The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.6 or later.” I ALREADY DID THAT, Ive tried the menu button and the middle button, it WILL NOT show the DEVICE column on the LEFT HAND SIDE. However I do have songs on it that were downloaded off of my other 2 iPods. I NEED HHHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

Well i had the problem where it couldnt find my iPod,DON’T buy a new one. Just reset your computer and when your homepage pops up plug the jack into the computer and connect it to your iPod, then it will probably find your iPod. Hope it helps ^^; if that doesn’t work, call Apple

Okay, so I’ve never really had a problem with my ipod like ever, until recently it just stopped syncing my music. I have a couple new songs I want to add to my library, and they add on and everything, but don’t go to my ipod when I click ‘sync’. What do I do? :(

i have the f******** problem too….. anything els to do… i have doen everything…….. plizzzzzzzzzz help…

i have an ipod touch so instead of the menu and center button, what do i push?

I havw the same problem.. i go to my computer and my ipod is recognised, but then it disapears. It wont sync, I’ve resetted it, But if i reinstall itunes and it still doesnt sync.. I’ll have a ipod with literally No music on. HELP!

so i basically have the same problem as everyone: ipod wont sync.

ive tried: -resetting my ipod -draining the battery -reinstalling itunes

and yet, all it does is charge.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!

btw, ive also deleted everything of itunes.

i have the same problem, neither mine or my sisters ipod touch’s will sync. We’ve tried different plugs, resetting the ipod and the computer, i’ve run diagnostics and everything. What can i do? Does anyone know apples new zealand number?

if u reinstall itunes won’t your songs you bought get deleted ???????

HELP!!!!!

Thank you sooooooooooooo much for the advice “VERA”

so, my ipod is not syncing. it keeps saying that “ipod cannont be used because it requires 7.6 or later” didnt say that untill i clicked the update thing. so..its not working. ive tried menu + middle button & reinstalling itunes. dont know what to do?

itunes is stupid. and i hate my ipod. no point if i cant put any new music on it.

ok i felt stupid after this but if your ipod isnt letting you sync music to it click on your ipod the go to the summary look where it says options and make sure you have the box checked that says manually manage music and videos. sorry ciara this doesnt apply to you i dont know what to tell you about that wish i could help.

my ipod say ipod cannot be syced be the playlist thing does not exist

Click on “Start” and right click on “My Computer” Click on the fourth option, it should say, “Manage” A pop up should appear and click on “Device Manager” (Its located on the left-hand side of the screen) If you scroll down near the bottom of the list and notice that their is an “!” next to the iPod then that means that their something wrong with the connection.

If their is then right click on iPod and it will install the iPod into your computer

i pluged in my ipod to the usb but dont see the sync on itune? what do i do?

yeah just restart the ipod by holding the menu and middle button until the apple logo appears, when you tunr it back on it should start syncing again it worked for me when this happened.

Just resset the ipod dumbass. Hold the menu button and the middle button. Freakin’ fuck tard. Go to school bitch.

Thanks to melbune for the advice! It works for me =) Your mom - uh you’re not so bright because that didn’t effin work.

OK!!! I was about to lose my mind because the 80gb ipod my hubby bought me last xmas was goin crazy on me. It would disconnect itself and not stay on long enough to even show on my new pc, even though it was still showing on the ipod itself that it was charging?!. i tried disconnecting and reconnecting manually about 1000 times NOTHIN”!!! i would get msgs about corruption and device not found/recognized but I FIXED IT!!!! (I dont know for how long but it works!!!) I read so many of these forums but they all said restore but I couldnt connect long enough…one thread said “PRESS MENU AND MIDDLE BUTTONS ABOUT 10 SECS UNTIL APPLE PIC SHOWS ON IPOD THEN PRESS AND HOLD FORWARD AND PREVIOUS BUTTONS FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECS. (they called it “hard reset”) and now it suddenly works, ipod shows up and was recognized and syncing!!!!! YAY!!!

i had the same problem, i re-installed itunes and nothing happened, so i reset my ipod by pressing the menu button down and now it works!

i got an itunes card and i bought songs and tryed to sync it but it keeps saying ipod sync is complete and the new songs are not on my ipod.

I’m also having the same problem…I just recently purched an iPod touch and everytime I connect to my computer all it does is charge and I’ve tried everything that you guys have listed above and I just wanted to know if there are any other options…thanks in advance if you are able to help me out

TO ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING THE MESSAGE:

THE SOLUTION IS HERE: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080501162034AAcM9h4

hm…I have that problem, but to me, computer says :” USB not recognized!”

So, my Ipod USB is not recognized in computer…what should I do??????

I can’t sync my Ipod…~

To begin with, ensure iTunes is not running, and your iPod is not connected. Make sure you read through the following steps before your begin.

1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (this is the Device Manager), this will need to be used later, but you’ll need it quickly when you do.
2. Start iTunes
3. Connect iPod
4. Go to your iPod Settings and select “Enable disk use”
5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Hit OK
6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
7. Quickly switch to Device Manager window and right-click on any item there and select “Scan for hardware changes”
8. Switch back to iTunes, where you should have a nice, working iPod!

Hope this helps everyone, please post you results

omg the same happend to me! read Veras, it works after that!

I would like people not to swear when they post. There are lots of frustrating things about ipods but people are upset enough about the potential loss of music and time… So , hey, let’s be nicer to each other. I think the i in Ipod stands for irritating, inexplicable and intimidating. Peace to all.. Bronco
