The iPod doesn't mount or appear in iTunes or the iPod Software Updater utility
- Make sure that the iPod is plugged into a high-power USB 2.0 port or FireWire port. The iPod won't be recognized if plugged into a low-power USB port.
Or
- Make sure that the iPod is not on a chain of FireWire devices. The iPod requires just about all the power a FireWire port can deliver and if it's on a chain of devices, it may not get the power it needs.
Or
- Your iPod may be locked up. To unlock it, reset it by holding down the Menu and Play buttons on the first three generations of iPods (or the Play and Select button on the mini and fourth-generation iPod) for about six seconds.
Or
- If you're using a Mac, restart the computer with the Shift key held down to disable startup items. An iPod that responds well to this treatment should be restored (see Restoring the iPod).
Or
- If the iPod still won't mount, reset it (see Cure 3) and then hold down Previous and Next on the first three generations of iPod (Play and the Select button on the mini and fourth-generation iPod) to place the iPod in Disk Mode -- a mode similar to the Mac's FireWire Target Disk mode that forces the iPod to mount. An iPod that mounts only when thrown into Disk Mode should be restored (see Restoring the iPod).
