Connected.. then OK to disconnect. identified by windows but not itunes

By this point i am very fed up with apple, my ipod, and itunes. I have had this problem since i first bought my ipod nano3g 8gb. I have windows xp, my itunes is updated and this problem persists with all 3 usb ports on my computer. when i plug in my ipod it says "connected" then it ejects itself. I can see that the computer recongnizes it and i hear the ding that goes off when it is plugged in. Then it disconnects. I have tried resetting it, uninstalling/installing itunes, and alot more. I need to restore my ipod because when i went to the apple store, and they restored it it worked fine for a month or two, then the problem happened again. I cannot restore my ipod if it is not being recongnized by itunes. I really dont know what to do but i have tried the support pages on the apple website already. Im open to any suggestions, but i have been on this website so many times. Nothing helps.

I have had the same problems as you...This happened with my iPod classic (80 GB), so I got it replaced. Incidentally, this iPod classic is the last of its kind (80 GB)...Maybe because they don't work. At the "concierge" the Apple staff said it was a hard drive problem. They replaced my iPod with another 80 GB classic, and it worked for loading songs from my computer exactly twice. Now I have the same problems as before. Anyone know a version of iTunes that maybe this wouldn't be a problem with? I'm running the newest version. Is this problem only with 80 GB classic iPods?

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • IPOD detected by Windows but NOT iTunes – possible solution

    I have a new 30GB Video IPOD with an AMD PC running Windows XP SP2 and like many others posting on this site, my iTunes stopped recognizing my IPOD. ITunes did work correctly immediately after my initial software installation and I was able to sync some music, but it failed thereafter and I was unable to add any more files. Like many other users, I tried all suggested fixes including the 5R’s, uninstalling and re-installing the software, changing selective start-up items using “MSCONFIG”, etc. Nothing worked – until I tried the following…
    1) Uninstall iTunes & IPOD updater software using Windows Add/Remove Software tool in the Start/Settings menu
    2) Reboot Windows
    3) Connect IPOD to USB port (Windows should detect the IPOD)
    4) Run the original IPOD CD installation disk, load the IPOD Updater software (but not iTunes …yet)
    5) The IPOD Updater software loads first, so when prompted to load iTunes, wait (you may minimize the window), go into the IPOD Updater software (Start/Programs menu) and open the IPOD Updater window by clicking on the icon. If your system works like mine, the IPOD should now be recognized and the “RESTORE” button should now be available. Don’t click the “RESTORE” button – just leave this window open (minimize the window if you wish) and go back to the iTunes install window.
    6) Continue with the installation of the iTunes software.
    7) Once installed try opening the iTunes program to see if IPOD is detected (at this point it still didn’t work for me)
    8) With the IPOD still connected, and the IPOD updater window still open, go to Add/Remove Software (Start/Settings) and click on “remove” iTunes – you’ll be prompted to “Repair” or “Remove”. Choose REPAIR. Once this process is complete, try opening iTunes again – at this point my computer now recognized the IPOD

    i could do everything fine up until step 6), the installation of itunes. when i tried to, with the ipod updater window still open, it said it could not continue without closing the updater program. any suggestions?

  • Ipod showes up on windows but not itunes

    I am having trouble getting my ipod synced back up with itunes. I have tried everything as far as uninstalling itunes and bonjour and all the others.I also tried updating drivers and a few other suggestions from tech support. I brought my ipod to a friends house and it showed up on his computer. So we tried to see if his ipod would show up on my itunes and it did. Also windows recognizes the ipod but something is keeping the itunes software on my computer from connecting to my ipod touch. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I have tried several places and everyone seems to be stumped.

  • Windows but not iTunes is recognizing the iPod

    My friend has a 20 GB iPod (Gen. 4) and whenever he connects it to his Toshiba Satellite (running Windows XP and purchased in Taiwan) the computer pops up with a window asking if he wants to have the device open in Real Player, Windows Media Player, or Do Nothing.
    The iPod says Do Not Disconnect for a while and then that disappears and it goes to the main menu showing no signs of being connected. During this time, iTunes does not detect the iPod at all.
    I then opened My Computer and the drive is listed there (the icon was actually an image of a generic mp3 player for a while and now it is a regular removable drive).
    I open that drive and there are no folders listed at all (this is after the iPod has gone back to its main menu) and I can't access the music folders even when I say to show hidden folders and files. I tried everything in Apple's help files online before coming here.
    The odd thing is that I have an iPod mini, have had no problems connecting with my Dell Inspiron 9300 and for the **** of it I connected his iPod to my computer and it worked perfectly.
    The iPod was quickly recognized by my iTunes and I could see all the music on his iPod. I have the same version of iTunes and iPod updater as him too.
    This leads me to believe that the problem is with either iTunes on his Toshiba, the Toshiba itself, or his Chinese Language version of Windows XP. Please help!!!

    Not to encroach on Mike's territory but both of these programs have device control in their Options settings, particularly Windows Media Player. It's likely that both are set to open automatically when any MP3 player is connected to the computer. You might be able to disable the function there.

  • Help please! Ipod Classic appears in Windows but not Itunes: Tried Troubleshooter and TS1363

    Hi There,
    My ipod classic won't sync with itunes It appears in windows 7 and itunes even opens when the device is attached. Unfortunately the device doesn't appear in itunes and consequently won't sync. I have tried using the troubleshooter but to no avail and have also tried the suggestions in the help article TS1363, also to no avail! Performing the diagnostic in itunes reveals that the ipod is attached and performing correctly according to itunes but there is a problem syncing. I'm stuck as to what to do next! Help!
    Hoping you can make me smile again
    Thank you

    is there a way to have itunes see the ipod shuffle it worked for three months even though when you hit the itune icon it say itunes is not installed correctly.  This is after you reload itunes and it say successfull install have removed and reloaded itunes at least 5 times.  Apple is of little help have spent hour on thier diagnostics.  one thing odd it says to remove a program called quicktime that i never find.
