Computer Ejects iPod When iTunes starts up

Please help!!! I have read every forum and tried zillions of things to get things working without any joy.
When I connect my iPod it shows up in my computer, but then as soon as itunes opens (and it does so automatically) the computer ejects the ipod so it no longer appears in my computer and cant sync with itunes; itunes cant detect it.
Its a 5th gen Ipod
Im running windows 7 32 bit
I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes about 5 times (mmost recently an hr ago)
I have updated my drivers through device manager
Its not the usb cord/port as my old crusty ipod still connects fine!
Please help! It is driving me batty!!!!!!!!

What other burning software do you use on your PC? There is a reason why this happens. When an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some people, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists...
First, I would tell you to go to your computer manufacturer's website and download all new driver's for your optical drives. Run CD Diagnostics in iTunes and post them here if you still have problems. Here is an Apple Article that discusses this issue:

There are other work arounds as well if you want to know that. Post back if you still have problems.

    My Ipod Classic appears in My Computer when I connected it to my new Windows 8 pc. When Itunes starts my Ipod is no longer appears in My Computer and is not shown under Devices in Itunes. It appears that Itunes disconnects my Ipod from the pc. My Ipod still sync's up fine with Itunes on my old Windows XP pc.

  • IPod Unit in Computer Resources list disappears when iTunes Starts

    When iTunes Starts and detects the iPod device the iPod disk resource, in computer resource list (e.g. iPod (G:)) disappears. In this way any action I made to iPod fails.
    I tried all but it doesn't working.
    help me....

    I tried two different USB ports each a failure. Other USB items are as follows: wireless mouse + keyboard bundle, wireless network adapter, digital camera (sits there all the time), and 500 GB Western Digital external hard drive. I am on a network but nothing from the iPod or iTunes accompanying folders are shared. Originally I had G: but it is now I:.
    At the moment it works again (for now). I don't know why it worked for me but I tried a non-official iPod song loader and when that didn't work I just deleted everything on the iPod (hidden files too) and the next time iTunes tried syncing it asked to set up new iPod controls. After that it stayed on the My Computer folder and I could reload songs through iTunes. I haven't tried it more than this once because I don't want to jinx it. I don't suggest my way because it was probably dumb luck.

  • Automatically play music when iTunes starts? is it possible?

    hello,
    i just wanted to know if there is any way to automatically start playing songs when iTunes starts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Is there any way to restore this!?!
    You can usually redownload content through your iTunes Store account. Some content that is redownloadable is determined by the country where you live. However, have you not been also storing all of your iTunes content in the media libraries in the iTunes app on your computer?

  • Hi! I bought a song on itunes, and now it won't play on my computer or iPod. Itunes on my computer keeps telling me that I'm not authorized to play the song on my computer, even after reauthorizing it. Is there anything I can do to play the song?

  • ITunes Library.itl keeps disappearing when iTunes starts

    I just updated to iTunes 10.8.0.40.  Now my iTunes Library.itl file keeps disappearing.
    When iTunes starts, I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder inthe "Music" folder."
    I copy a backup from the "Previous iTunes Library" folder and then iTunes will start.  However, the file disappears again as iTunes is starting.  Right after it disappears, iTunes displays a message that says, "Checking iTunes Library..." followed by "Updating iTunes Library..."  Then I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  A folder was specified instead of a file."
    The process repeats endlessly.  How do I stop iTunes from deleting the iTunes Library.itl file as it starts?

    I fixed this by removing iTunes and installing MediaMonkey.  Most of the music I have in iTunes has been ripped from my CDs and MediaMonkey found all of those MP3's within a couple minutes.  The last time I had to rebuild my iTunes database, it took two days because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from analyzing the volume.  The few albums that I bought through iTunes, I will burn to a CD and re-rip.  Despite the name, MediaMonkey seems to be a much better program for managing music and runs significantly faster on my little HP mini.
    This is the fourth and last time I'm dealing with the problem of iTunes deleting my database.  Good riddance iTunes.

    Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • What is it that resets the Music Location when iTunes starts?

    So whenever you have your Music Location set to a mount on a remote device. Such as a share on a Time Capsule for instance if the mount isn't present when iTunes starts iTunes will always reset the Music Location back to it's default.
    Is there a way to stop this from happening?
    Can I make it so that mount is always available before iTunes or iTunes Helper starts?
    Both I and my wife on her Air want to share the same remote device for our music library but we don't want iTunes to keep reseting the Music Location.

    Option selects the iTunes library file, which is most likely in the /Music/iTunes folder on the Mac HD.
    The iTunes music folder is on the Time Capsule which needs to be mounted.
    As Robert noted, add the Time Capsule to your Login items.

    Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:

  • TS3418 SyncServer crashes on Windows XP, when iTunes starts iPhone sync

    SyncServer crashes on Windows XP, when iTunes starts iPhone sync...Help!

    Many thanks, Paul.
    Modname is corefoundation.dll and Modver is 1.630.16.0 offset 0004183c
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch properly now?
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

  • Windows 7 uninstalls iPod touch when iTunes starts

    Hello,
    I just received my iPod touch replacement for my 1st gen nano, but iTunes cannot identify properly on Win 7 64-bit. I've tried the various
    supposed fixes, but no resolution. I did notice that if I uninstall the iPod in Device Manger, then reboot the machine, the iPod is recognized
    by the OS as a mass USB storage device as it should be. But when I start iTunes Windows uninstalls the iPod, and thus probably the reason
    for the iTunes error. I haven’t run across this issue searching for the resolution. Anyone else resolve this?
    Thank you
    -John

  • Cannot update or eject Ipod using Itunes 7.

    Hey all.
    I can see that Itunes 7 is giving people quite a bit of grief. I have installed it and when i try and update my 60GB Ipod with version 1.2 (my current version is 1.1) it comes up with the message "Ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application". It will not let me eject my Ipod through itunes for the same reason, i have to eject it using Windows.
    I have tried with three different Ipods and it is the same for all of them. I have also tried resetting my Ipod manually with no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am posting a possible solution to all these problems I and so many of you have said you've experienced. I think I had two things working against me:
    1) I did not have a 2.0 USB port when trying to update my ipod to version 1.2. I think this effected the connection and iTunes ability to recognize my iPod.
    Anyway, I put in a new USB 2.0 card in my computer, giving me new ports off the mother board, and my connection and update worked.
    2) I was not giving it enough time. After I installed the USB card and everything I tried to update my iPod a couple of times, but still had a long slow stall that I did not wait through. I kept at it though and a few days later I set it up to update and left to go out to dinner. Hours late I came back and found things different. I used windows to disconnect my iPod and then noticed a dark "working" bar on my iPod. It was finally updating the device. I waited a while unitl it was finished and then diconnected and ever since then I've got version 1.2 on the iPod and things are working better.
    So, my advice: check your USB ports and then give it a few hours.
    I really hope this works for you. I worked on this problem for two months and I'm so glad it finally came through. I wish Apple would post some more resolutions that are better than mine.
    Good luck,
    Galahad

  • After ejecting iPod in iTunes

    Hi,
    This is not really a problem, but when I've Ejected my iPod Nano in iTunes, and I yet want to load music onto it, how do I reconnect the iPod (without having to pull the USB-cable out of my computer, having it to think, pushing the USB-cable into my computer, having it to think long)?
    Thanks,
    Jurriaan

    From what I know, that is what you have to do.
    Now, when iTunes is done updating the Do Not Disconnect should disappear from your iPod. (And the main menu appears). When that happens, there is no need to actually hit eject. Then when you want to update again, go to file-->update iPod in iTunes.
    But once you eject it, Windows will not see it again until it is reinsterted.
