I've hooked up my iPod mini with two different USB ports and iTunes still won't show my mini and update it. It's driving me nuts. It shows up in My Computer but it is not appearing in iTunes.
edit: Oh and the iPod is charging just fine like it normally does.
I have the same issue. When I first connect my mini, it shows like do not disconnect message like usual, but then it pops back to the main menu after about ten seconds.
It shows up in my computer for as long as the do not disconnect message is displayed, but never in iTunes.
It was working fine about five days ago, and nothing has changed as far as I know.
I have tried restoring it and restarting my computer.
