iTunes recognises my iPad & iPhone but not my iPod

There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync with one computer/iTunes library or account.

Have you worked through each and every suggestion in this Apple support document yet?

iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop

B-rock

There are many people having issues syncing with iPods, particularly the iPod classic. I had the same issue and searched the various forums and found nothing but people asking for help. In the end I got my iPods to sync but doing the following, I do not know if this works for everyone and I do not know if you need to do all the steps, but this is what I did.

• Close down iTunes.
• Hard Reset your iPod - Press and hold the menu and centre button until it re-boots.
• Once the iPod is re-booted plug it into your Mac via USB without opening iTunes first, iTunes should just open itself with out your intervention.
• Now your iPod should appear in iTunes, well it did for me anyway.

Hope this helps.

Petebloke, thank you, thank you, thank you! I've tried everything that Apple recommended and nothing worked until I tried this. It was frustrating because my iPad was recognized but not my very old iPod which is where all my music was. Once again...THANK YOU!

I'm having the same problem but the master reset and connecting the iPod to my Mac before opening iTunes hasn't worked - any other ideas?

I am having the same problem after following the above directions
