Can't Eject iPod Classic in iTunes 10

After syncing my 160G iPod Classic with iTunes 10, I could not eject the iPod Classic in iTunes 10. It says the iPod is being used by another Application (when there is NONE except iTunes 10). I had to quit iTunes 10, and eject the iPod Classic via Finder Window. There were a couple of times where I had to perform OPTION-APPLE-ESC before I could eject the iPod Classic. Is there something wrong with this version of iTunes - anybody having same problem? Or could it be my PPC iBook G4? <Don't think so.>
With all the complaints I've read about iTunes 10 (yah, the icon does look horrible, Steve, despite what you may say - it looks soooooo 'bland'), I suspect it's the latest-but-no-longer-greatest software, iTunes 10.
Any suggestions/assistance is greatly appreciated.
Else, I may go back to the earlier version, where I had no problems at all.
Much thanks in advance.
Regards.

I'm having a similar problem ... nothing but problems with iTunes 10
In my case, my iPod nano is showing up as a device in Finder and even when I eject it from iTunes it remains in the Finder for some time. When I reconnect the nano then iTunes starts playing music, but the nano does not appear in iTunes (although it shows up again in Finder.)
I have to restart iTunes for the nano to show up again. Disk use is not enabled. I've also had problems with the nano occasionally showing up with the incorrect info (image etc.) in the Summary window.
I had none of these problems until I upgraded to iTunes 10 (other than it showing up in the Finder.)
I suspect it will not be easy to go back to iTunes 10 because iTunes 10 upgraded the iTunes Library (as far as I remember.)

    I need some help and can't find any elsewhere so I am trying here. I can't eject my Ipod from Itunes without turning my computer off. It says that it can't eject because there is shared files on my Ipod. I deleated all files with Itunes and still got the can't eject due to shared files message.

  • Can't synch iPod classic to iTunes after updating iTunes. a duplicate file name was specified.

    I can't synch my iPod classic. "A duplicate file name was specified." I tried on two different computers on which it had previously worked fine.

    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.
    See iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder for more info.

  • Finder can see my iPod Classic, but iTunes can't

    When I connect my iPod classic (80GB) to my Mac, it shows up in Finder with an iPod icon, and iTunes launches, but it never shows up in iTunes. There are no error messages, it just doesn't show up.
    I've tried restarting my Mac, reinstalling iTunes, refreshing my iPod (hold on/off, hold down menu/select until you see apple logo) several times. I have the newest version of iTunes and my OS is up to date.
    Occasionally, it just shows up as a drive in Finder, w/out the iPod icon. But, most of the time, the icon is there and iTunes opens.
    How can I restore my iPod if I can't connect to iTunes? I don't know what to do.
    Thanks.

    Update - I was able to restore my iPod using my Windows XP machine and now my Mac sees it in iTunes.

  • How do I revert my ipod to 10.10.1 so I can sync my ipod classic with iTunes again?

    My ipod can no longer sync with my iTunes library.  Someone suggested that I revert my ipod from 10.10.2 to 10.10.0.  How do you do that?

    Command-R to the rescue.
    Just hold down Command-R during startup and Lion Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Lion, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if Lion Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.
    When boot into Recovery and select item 1, you will be given a choice of a point to recover from.

  • I can't sync iPod classic with iTunes Match since I have updated to iTunes 11

    When I open iTunes (11) and connect my iPod (classic) it does not recognise the device.  I am using iTunes Match.   My question is how do I transfer the music from PC to my iPod?  I just bought a new PC and thought getting Match would be useful and save time transferring from my old PC.  It was fine to begin with until the iTunes 11 update.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    The iPod classic not bring recognized is unrelated to iTunes Match. You should post this problem to either the iPod Classic forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_classic or the iTunes for Windows forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows. Probably the former.
    FYI it is only iOS devices that cannot be synced via USB with iTunes Match enabled.

  • How can i transfer non purchased music from my iPod classic to iTunes?

    Recently, my laptop died and geek squad was unable to extract files from hard drive. How do I transfer non purchased music (burned cd's) from my ipod classic to itunes on my new laptop? Apple customer support suggested I engage support communities to find out about 3rd party software (not apple) that can accomplish this. Does anyone know of where I can find such software? Please and thank you

    Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
    At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

  • I have an old iPod classic that iTunes cannot find, I can't even restore it!?

    I have an old iPod Classic that iTunes cannot "find" even though it shows it. I can't even restore it. Works fine except can't synch with iTunes to add new music!?

    We (Appple techs) tried disk mode and that didn't work. At times the iPod would even "show" itself in iTunes and iTunes would say it was synching but when you looked at the iPod you could tell it wasn't ( it just said do not disconnect) and after 10 to 40 minutes later iTunes would say can't find iPod. We would then have to force quit iTunes because it was hung up and then just disconnect the iPod. The iPod works fine with headphones or a docking station, just can't add (or subtract) anything to it. It completely mystified all the techs in the store and all "senior" advisors on the phone- and that was about 4.5 hours getting tossed to one "expert" or another! Ah well, indeed stranger than life.

  • How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic.  ITunes wiped out all my contacts and there is even no place for contacts any more on my macBook.

    How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic.  iTunes wiped out all my contacts from my iPod classic and now I no longer even show a place for contacts on my computer when I plug in my iPod.

    You don't download iTunes by connecting your phone to iTunes and yes of course, by syncing your phone with your husbands computer, of course you will have lost all your stuff and you will have his.
    When you connect to iTunes, you sync.
    To get back all your things, then you need to sync your phone to the computer that you used originally to set your phone up - if this is your computer, then connect your phone to that and sync it with iTunes on that and you will get your stuff back, but when you connect to iTunes you sync and don't download.
    Ringtones should download automatically to your phone and if not, if you are getting them on your computer, then download them to your computer with your iTunes on and double click to get the MP3 file to open in iTunes and then sync your phone to your computer and you will get the ringtone on your phone.
