3rd gen ipod won't sync with itunes 10.2.2

iTunes 10.2.2 will not recognize my 40gb 3rd generation iPod when connected via firewire. I tried connecting via USB but the iPod shuts down and disconnects after a few seconds. This is frustrating because I had no issues using firewire before upgrading to 10.2.2. Can anyone help with this issue?

Thank you kindly

  • 3rd Gen Ipod won't sync with Itunes since upgrade to Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and since then my trusty 3rd Gen Ipod will not sync with iTunes (9.0.3). It mounts in Finder, but does not appear in iTunes. The iPod will still charge, but it constantly displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message until manually ejected.
    Any help gratefully received.

    Thank you kindly

  • 3rd gen iPod Touch not syncing with iTunes 10.4.1 on Lion?

    I've had a 3rd gen 64GB iPod Touch for almost two years now and I've only had one problem with syncing it before. I followed this (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747) and it helped. But since I updated my MacBook Pro to Lion, this article no longer applies and iTunes hasn't recognized my iPod. My iPod does show up in iPhoto though. Everything is fully updated and I restored my iPod using another computer, but even after doing that my iPod isn't recognized in iTunes. Also, my iPod won't go into recovery mode. It shows the connect to iTunes screen but when I connect it, nothing happens. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod many times and I've tried everything I know.
    Now, since restoring, I have nothing on my iPod and I use it every day so any help would be appreciated.

    I figured out how to show the hidden files, but even after doing that, the files weren't there.  On the page that you showed me, it says "Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion" and since I am using Lion, it didn't work

  • 5th gen iPod won't sync with iTunes

    I have recently upgraded my iTunes to version 8. Now my iPod won't mount. I get the following error when I plug in the iPod: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I've restored at least 6 times and nothing. I have also downgraded to the previous version of iTunes and it still won't work. Please help me. Right now I have a 30Gb lump of coal sitting in my desk. (The restore obviously removed all my music for it.)

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

  • 3rd gen ipod won't connect with firewire.

    3rd gen ipod won't connect to itunes with firewire. USB connects rarely but drains battery quickly. I've rebooted the ipod and computer and updated itunes. No effect. Any remedies besides buying a new ipod.

    Answer to Question 1: - I connected the iPod with the USB, went to Disk Utility and erased the iPod. Now the iPod works with USB.
    Question 2 is still unanswered. Ideas?

  • I moved my music from the c drive to the d drive. All of my music is in itunes but my ipod won't sync with itunes. The syncing process is taking much longer than usual too. I left my ipod over night to sync and it didnt finish. Fails to sync every time.

  • Ipod won't sync with Itunes even after restore

    Hiya,
    When I plug my ipod into my computer, it recognises it's there, but it won't sync with the ipod & update the music on it.
    I restored the ipod using itunes so now there's absolutely nothing on my ipod at all, but it still won't sync with itunes, so I have a completely blank ipod...
    I've only had it for about 3 months so am not impressed...
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Miranda

    My was doing the same thing. But I figured out how to fix it. My computer was not recognizing the IPOD so I had to reset the drive letter. Click on Start, then go to the Control Panel, Click on Adminstration tools, Click on Computer Management, on the left hand side of your screen pick Disk Management from the box, it will take a few seconds then it will pull up a list of all your computer drives, highlight your Ipod, then right click and change drive letter or path, I changed it to "I" for ipod. My computer then recognized my Ipod. I opened up itunes and my sync worked then.

  • IPod won't sync with iTunes on Windows 7/64 bit PC

    I just updated my PC to Windows 7/64 bit. iPod will not sync with iTunes. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, and tried all the suggestions on the Internet (except restoring the iPod, too scary; and modifying registry on the PC, too too scary). The device thinks it has the most current software. The iPod tries to connect and appears briefly but then disconnects. A Windows message appears asking the following: "Do you want to scan and fix My iPod? There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it." If I tell it yes to scan it gives another error message that is it not recognized. If I tell it to skip the scan, the device disconnects and nothing happens. No syncing. I am at a loss as to how to fix this. Has anyone encountered this type of issue and if so - how did you resolve it. I don't want to restore the iPod as I do not know if it will ever connect and sync again and all the music on it now would be lost and the device would be useless. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Tikimom

  • Ipod won't sync with itunes, wiped itself, won't leave apple logo screen

    I think the problem showed up after I plugged my ipod classic into a Belkin (I think) ipod speaker dock. The next time I plugged it into my computer, it wouldn't sync with itunes. When there's no ipod plugged into the computer, itunes opens fine, but when I plug my ipod in, itunes will open then freeze. Unplugging my ipod makes itunes go back to normal, but with an error message that I can't sync my ipod. After going through that a few times this morning, I tried doing the middle button+menu reset, which left it stuck at the apple logo for around 15 minutes. It eventually took me to the language select screen, where I saw that all my songs and podcasts had been wiped from the drive. However, when I hover over the "settings" menu option, it says I only have 40 gigs free, which is the amount I had when I still had all my data on the ipod. I've also tried plugging it into my computer and formatting it through windows, but that doesn't work either. Do I have any options here? Thanks in advance

    Tried most of these (including swapping out cords in dfferent ports) with no luck. I tried to restore it as well but it won't let me do that either. The hard drive is working to the point where the ipod works normally with the exception of the syncing issue. I have also run the diagnostic and everyting is fine until the last one, the device sync test. It is able to see the ipod earlier in the diagnostics.

  • IPod won't sync with iTunes after iOS8

    I already posted about this but I will post again since I didn't receive any replies. I don't know if there is any way to contact Apple directly about this without having to fork up some money. My iPod Touch 5 will not sync with iTunes ever since the iOS8 update. It shows up in the menu, but will not sync. I click on sync or update, or even backup... nothing. It looks like it's trying to do something for about a second, then it just stops. I NEED TO SYNC MY IPOD. Please someone address this issue and fix it!!!

    Mac. And I wanted to add, when the iPod is in the menu, and I click on it, the "sync" button is grey--I can't click on it. The only way to access it is to go to, say, my photos and click or unclick a group of photos. Then it will show the "apply" button. I click on that and it says "starting sync" for a second and then it stops. And the menu bar at the bottom has a little bit of blue "Audio" a couple other little bits of color, then a whole bunch of yellow "other". It's like it recognizes that the iPod is there, but it's not connecting to its content properly.

  • IPod won't sync with itunes 7.7

    the other day i plugged my ipod in to update 4 new songs on it. i watched itunes put the songs on the ipod and said it was succesfull. so i took it with me and when i went to go listen to it it had no songs on it. so i took it home and plugged it in and when it synced the memory bar was all orange. so after trying different usb ports i restored it. after i restored it it will not sync with itunes anymore. the most it will ever do if anything is sync a little at a time then comes up with the error, "unable to sync because the required file cannot be written from or written to." if i click sync again it will do the same thing. does anybody know how to fix this?

  • IPOD 3rd Gen. Won't work with ITUNES 7?

    That's about it. Since I updated ITUNES my 3rd generation (20 GB) ipod won't respond (ITUNES says that I have to update it, won't let me)
    Suggestions?

    Hello,
    Are you syncing with your PowerBook running 10.5.8?
    You can't have the lastest version of iTunes installed as the lastest version of Itunes requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 and above
    Which version of iTunes have you installed? Go to iTines top left and then about iTunes.
