iPod Classic does not appear in iTunes

My macbook release 10.9.5. iTunes (version 12.1) does not recognize my iPod classic Model # MB147LL version 1.2.2PC. I tried to reboot, reset, update, but it will not recognize to sync the iPod. My computer recognizes the iPod but not iTunes.

The latest version of iTunes (12.5.1) should work on OS X 10.9.5.  Is there a reason that you are using an older version of iTunes.  A classic iPod should work with even older versions of iTunes, but there may be a problem with the specific version you have (fixed in a later version).

If update does not help (or if you don't want to update iTunes), given that the iPod is recognized by the system, it seems to have a data connection.  Try to put the iPod in Disk Mode.

How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

Before you connect iPod, stop (power off) MacBook and disconnect all the USB devices.  Plug the MacBook power adapter (so it does not work on battery).  Startup MacBook, launch iTunes and connect the iPod (in disc Mode) on a USB direct on MacBook, by himself.

If he picks up iTunes, it should invite you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  This erases the iPod, so if you're OK with that (because the content of the iPod is in your iTunes library), do the restore.  If all goes well, the iPod appears in iTunes (normally) after the restoration.

  • Bought the new computer windows 10, itunes has changed location of support for external hard drive. The music does not appear in itunes.

    BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

    Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

    The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

    Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.

    For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split.  You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.

  • The application icon does not appear in iTunes

    Hello

    is it normal that the icon does not appear in iTunes when you upgrade the application Developer in there to test?

    It only shows the app grey symbol.

    Is that going to show when the application is modified by the app on distribution?

    Thank you

    Jill

    In the meantime, I found the solution to my problem: when you download the assets, you have one which is optional (1024 x 1024 px).

    It seems that one uses iTunes and I got one.

    (Maybe they shouldn't make it optional, since you really need)

  • IPod Classic does not recognize Itunes library after updating 12.4.1.6

    After (sigh, unconsciously and unintentionally) update my Itunes 12.4.1.6 Macbook Pro, my Ipod Classic is as it does not recognize the Itunes Macbook is the parent library. I made a few additions to the Macbook Itunes playlists, but my Ipod sync... at least do not unintentionally erase all currents (gulp, 157 GB of data) and re-import the entire library again. Is there a way to get around this? I did have this problem - at least I don't remember having it-advance updates to Itunes, where the Ipod no longer recognizes the Itunes Macbook as his home library. I ran a "check disk" on the Macbook and Ipod, and they are both clean, no sign of corruption. FWIW, I use the laptop on Mavericks, OSX 10.9.5.

    Did you have to add your media to the library after the update? See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.

  • Episode does not appear on iTunes, but appears when nor subscribed

    Hello

    I downloaded the fourth episode of my podcast today and has been advised by the covered app that my episode is available to listen to. The episode appears in the overcast and plays very well. However, the episode does not appear on my podcast page in iTunes and it does not appear in the Podcast app unless you subscribe.

    Here is the link for the episode, when I tried to share it via the Podcast application:

    https://iTunes.Apple.com/us/podcast/how-original-podcast/id1071503575?MT=2#episo deGuid=http%3A%2F%2Fkyledempster7.podbean.com%2Fe%2F4-tuvok-and-neelix-sold-sepa % 2F validity

    By comparison, here is a link to another episode which MADE its appearance on itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2.-podcasting-gal-named-jones/id1071503575?i = 361647167 & mt = 2 (there's no podbean.com)

    Here is a link to the podcast page: hope that makes sense.

    Just curious to know why applications like covered (who apparently away from iTunes) will present 4 episode, but iTunes will not. Thank you!

    Episode 4 was posted ago less than 8 hours as I write, so it is quite normal that she only appeared in the iTunes Store yet. When you add a new episode to your stream and download it, it immediately appears for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the stream directly and the store is not involved.

    However, due to the multiplicity of the podcasts in the store (in thousands) the store caches the flow and it checks updates periodically. For this reason, there are usually 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the store: sometimes it can be lower, and sometimes the whole process seems stuck and it may take several days.

    Episode 4 appears when you subscribe in iTunes, you can expect it to appear in the store in a day or two.

    Episode 2, released today, shows for subscribers, both in the iTunes Store. You were lucky it as it can normally take 1-2 days for a new episode to appear in the store puts it in cache flows, checking them in some sort of rotation (Subscribers see pretty quickly as their iTunes application reads the stream directly).

  • IPod Classic intermittent not recognized by iTunes on Windows 10

    I have an iPod Classic which, until recently, has been working fine on Windows 10 via iTunes.

    Recently, he has started only not to be recognized by iTunes when I conect via USB.

    I keep trying different USB slots and that cures the problem - for about 2 days.  It is not reognised again.  I'm running to different locations to try USB!

    I bought a new 30pin to USB cord in the last 2 weeks.

    I just uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (an hour ago) and the same inability to recognize on an 'old' USB slot has occurred.

    I checked my installed programs - I Apple Mbilé Device Support installed (to 28.0 MB), but the icon is gray - should it be?

    BUT well, click on my PC-> selecting Manage-> expansion Device Manager-> expansion Bus USB controllers, I don't have an Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed.

    I have (twice in the last month) resorted to reset the iPod and lose all my music on it and then copy back to iTunes (I manually synchronize)

    Please - what can I do to fix this?

    Exclude you a bad USB cable anchor to buy a new one.  You tried multiple USB ports.  You have reinstalled iTunes software, and it seems that it works pretty well (and quite long) to do a restore and then sync everything back.

    You have a lot of other USB devices connected at the same time?  If you do, it is possible that your PC does not provide enough total power of bus for all devices at the same time.  Perhaps the iPod question began when you added a new device.  Sometimes, all devices are not drawing full power (as if the battery of the iPod is supported against when it is fully charged), and that's when the iPod connects very well.  And at other times, he has not enough power.

    As a test, turn off the PC (power off) and unplug all USB devices, including hubs.  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse USB connected, if used.  Do a Reset (reboot) of the iPod (hold the Menu and Center buttons at the same time until the Apple appears in the display).  Starting the PC and only connect the iPod to a direct USB port on computer.  Use this way for a while, to see if there is a difference.  It also tests the possible interference between USB devices.

  • iPod Classic does not show music

    It is a model of 160 GB of Genesis 6 I've had for several years without any problems before. Since a few days it has started planting iTunes when I plug, which means I can't synchronize. By force to close iTunes, I was able to format the drive and reinstall the OS via iTunes (which does not fear the device formatting), and it syncs as usual.

    However the real kicker is that when I disconnect the device on the finish of the interface shows no music or any content at all. Plug back on both iTunes and Windows Explorer shows that it is full of music files can I open and play using it as a HARD disk, but the device interface says that there is nothing at all.

    Several reformats, fresh installs and restarts of everything I think already tried. Any ideas?
