Computer/itunes wont recognize 30gig ipod classic

I have a 30 gig video ipod classic. It has always worked fine for me ever since i puchased it about 3 years ago. However, i recently received a Jensen ipod dock to play/charge my ipod. I have been using this to charge my ipod for a while. I have now tried to plug my ipod into my computer and it wont show up in my itunes. I can only charge it with this dock not, not my computer, or even my car adapter. I has recently noticed a sticker on the back of this radio that reads "For proper syncing, connect the USB cable between your computer and this unit prior to docking your ipod. I just tried this and still no luck with itunes recognizing either (the dock or my ipod) Has this happened to any one else? Anyway to fix it or am i just screwed?

try a reset

Both itunes and my computer do not recognize my ipod classic, have had this before and reinstalled the device driver when asked to do so. However now it doesn't, how do i get this done?

Neither Itunes nor my computer recognize my Ipod classic. Have had this once before and when asked to reinstall device driver, did that and problem solved. However now I do not get this message, so don't know how to reinstall.

Itunes wont recognize my ipod when connected..what is the deal?

why wont itunes recognize my ipod touch...

My Ipod is doing the same, if you work it out could you tell me?
I did go onto yahoo answers and they said to redownload itunes.
Then if that didn't work, to take the ipod back.

Itunes wont recognize my IPod.....states it is corrupted.

My Ipod Classic is corrupted I ran the check and hear is what it said:
Retracts: 59
Reallocs:1072
Pending Sectors: 6
Power on Hours:367
Start/Stops:231
Temp Current: 30c
Temp Min:8c
Temp Max: 50c
This started after I was playing it and it started delaying switching to different songs. Some songs wouldn't even play and it would just skip to the next song. I rebooted it and it would say my battery was dead, so I would charge it, but it kept doing the same thing. This morning, I plugged it into my computer and now all of my songs are gone....they are still on Itunes, but it is not recognizing my Ipod. I have tried everything from restoring to formatting;....please help me!!!!

HT1351 How do I get iTunes to recognize my ipod classic?

I have a library on my ipod classic. can't import them to itunes-it doesn't recognize my classic. i have read all the articles about how to connect, etc but none of the stuff worked.
I bought an ipod touch and now have to copy all my CDs into itunes to get the MANY songs to my touch.
How could apple make it almost impossible to use older ipods with itunes???

The latest iTunes works with my old 3rd gen iPod from 2003, and no doubt works with the original iPod from 2001. So I don't think the problem is iTunes.
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar, which is where the iPod appeared in previous versions. If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod should appear under DEVICES. It does not appear there when you connect it?
When you connect it, does anything happen on the iPod's screen? Does the iPod's battery charge when connected? Does the iPod still work (as an iPod) for listening to its music?

Itunes wont recognize my ipod, only when I restore it, wich i have done 4 times, still same problem, itunes wont recognize my ipod, only when I restore it, wich i have done 4 times, still same problem

Getting reeeally sick of this happening now.. everytime it sync's itunes tells me that it does not recognize my ipod device.. or something like that..
i have re-downloaded itunes, restarted and restored everythin several times, and done everything apple support tells me to try, but it just keeps happening. this is ******* me off.. please if anybody has had the same problem and managed to fix it, tell me, because im about to freak out here..

If you have also gone through the other applicable steps (and that are possible) in that article, all I can suggest is posting in one of the Category: iPod forums .
Good Luck!

New itunes wont recognize my ipod

i few days ago my ipod ran out of battery so i plugged it into the wall charger. the apple logo came up for a long time and when it went away all my songs were gone! so i plugged it into my labtop and itunes told me to update so i installed the new itunes and new updater. but now itunes won't recognize my ipod mini. and on my ipod in the about section, it says 0 songs, capactiy: 3.7 GB, space left: 1.7 GB. how could taht happen? i don't even have any songs and i only have 1.7 GB left? Please help me!

olemadrid, I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread, It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
Good luck.

I had to reset my iPod classic after it froze, now iTunes wont recognize my iPod. It says its connected to my computer too. Help?

I pulled my ipod off of my ihome to go upload some new music. Tried to turn it on, nothing. Tried and tried again and nothing would come up. Tried to charge it and nothing came up. So i reset it. The apple screen kept popping up and it would just stay there frozen. So I would try and try again and finally it asked for the language selection screen. I selected english and tried to connect it to my computer and the "eject before dicconecting" screen popped up but it wont show up in itunes. Everytime I unplug it it goes back to the apple screen? Any suggestions?

Hello Jeanne
If you are having issues with your iPod not showing up on your computer then check out the article below. What you need to figure out is if it does not show up at all or if it is just iTunes.

ITunes wont recognize certain iPods.

My computer (a Windows XP machine) will not recognize my sister's iPod nano or my friends iPod 3rd generation when I plug them in. They sometimes show up on my computer, but never in iTunes itself. My own 4th generation iPod shows up and syncs perfectly with my computer.
The other odd thing is that my sister's nano/ friend's iPod work fine on our other xp laptop. Which is a real pain as you can imagine.
The only possible thing I could think of is that my computer's harddrive is labeled I instead of the Traditional C. This happened when we replaced the harddrive well over 10 months ago. I'm not sure if this is at all relevant, but it's the only thing I can think of that sets my cpu apart from others.... And yes, I have upgraded ITunes to 7.01 or whatever./ (the newest version)
Any help is appriciated---I'm a lover of iPods, but am now cautious of buying anew one for fear it wont work on my neatly orgnaized computer.

The only possible thing I could think of is that my computer's harddrive is labeled I instead of the Traditional C - Yes, it is one of the reason behind it.
Secondly, please note that your friends' iPod 3rd gerneation, can only connecting via Firewire cable/port, it does not work via USB.
