iPod vanished from network

[Goffee]

Doesn't matter if its plugged into a PC or Mac, my iPod (4th Gen) won't appear on the network for others to listen too. I doubt networks have good-taste filters and all the right settings are ticked for sharing... That's the only advice you get from official support channels.

In summary, used to appear on other's iTunes screens - now doesn't. We've all upgraded iTunes to various versions over the years, this started with a late 6 version and 7 hasn't cured it.

Any help gratefully received.

Have you considered doing a Restore Factory Settings on your iPod? I believe Apple recommends doing this if you're having trouble with it. If you keep your entirely library on iTunes, it should just sync right back up after the restore is complete.

To do this, you simply click on your iPod in the iTunes list and then click the Restore button. On a 4th gen iPod, you then unplug the iPod (once it tells you to), plug it into mains power with the adapter and then reconnect it to your machine.
