-   the ipod icon wont show up on itunes-   shyi

Jan 02, 2009

-   when i plug in my ipod the icon doesnt show up so i cant put any new music on it or even view anything i already have on my ipod and the only way i can disconnect it is to use the icon at the bottom of the computer screen. -   jordansFLYY

-   My iPod was fine until a few days ago. Its now like an MP3 when you plug it in and instead of popping up on iTunes, it says its on an F drive and still wont let me put music or anything else on it :( even worse, when i was messing around with it trying to fix it, I deleted all the songs that were already on it so now I have nothing. I tried plugging in my sisters iPod in my laptop and its the same.
Please help.

i had the exact same problem with my ipod.

whenever i plugged my ipod in to my computer, it just charged and itunes didnt reconize my ipod.

so i saw the comment on here that said to reset your ipod when it was plugged into your computer with itunes open and it worked!!

(to reset your ipod press the menu button and the center button at the same time and hold them down for a couple of seconds till the screen goes black)

i hope this works for anyone else who has the same problem with thier ipod!!

youre ipod wont be detected because it's not an ipod, it onlu looks like an ipod but the firmware is not from apple. many country clone ipod. so the best thing to do is download s1mp3 tools to detect youre pirated ipod to your pc... these will work..

I was having trouble getting my ipod icon to show up as well.  It turned out I was accidentally using my firewire cable, rather than my USB cable.
