IPod charges but doesn't come up in iTunes

    Hey all,

    i have a 5th generation 80 gig ipod. when i connect it to the computer it charges but it doesn't appear in itunes or in finder as a mounted drive / on the desktop.

    Any reasons why this might be? It only occurs with a spare cable i got for connecting the ipod as part of a travel kit. The original cable that came with the ipod works fine but the issue is only with the travel kit cable.

    Thanks.

    It might just need to be reset, have you tried that? (hold down the menu button and centre button until the apple logo appears)

    Such cables are not fully wired , I think you will find that only the charge and line out wires are installed in the travel kit cable , there are no Data transfer connections.
