Sometimes, iPods decide to play peak-a-boo. Other times, they decide to just hide on you. If your iPod decides to take a siesta on you and doesn’t show up in iTunes, don’t worry – follow the below iPod repair steps:
- Update your iPod firmware.
- Uninstall iTunes and reinstall as well as other iPod-related software.
- Update to Windows XP SP3 or Vista SP1 if you haven’t already.
- Remove any new software that caused the iPod to stop being recognized.
If you have a Mac, chances are your iPod will always be recognized since iTunes is primarily designed for the Apple operating system. If the above computer repair steps don’t work, you’ll need to visit a computer repair shop.
