this is getting rediculous. this is the 4th time i've tried to sync my ipod. if i have to troubleshoot and find a new way each time i sync to get my ipod to show up. something is wrong and needs to be fixed. if this persist i will stop using itunes, and maybe even ipods. my computer shows my ipod, but itunes can't see it? instead of designing new GUIs for itunes, maybe work on making it WORK!
iPod touch, iOS 5.1.1
- If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
- Then if necessary see:
I have the same thing. The sidebar is on, Bonjour is enabled, Apple Mobile is enabled, the cable works because the PC recognises the iPad as a hard drive, in Preferences the iPad shows up in Devices.
I've restarted the PC more than once - but no Devices are visible in iTunes. Turned on "Share my library" made sure - "Prevent iPads from syncing was NOT checked .... still no Devices.
I wanted to transfer a new eBook to my iPad but can't do it. I've done it before on this PC - before the iTunes 11 upgrade.

Hey! I figured it out. The Wi-Fi was on and connected - try turning it off.

nope. sidebar doesn't work. i fixed it once with going tonto some crazy windo and refreshing some apple program for mobile devices. didn';t work this time.
so... am i seriously the only one with this problem and no one knows how to fix it? is it cause i have like a gen 3 ipod touch with itunes 11.
No, it is not caused by a 3G iPod and iTunes 11.
