Disconnected iPod during synch

I accidentally disconnected my iPod while it was synching, now when I plug it in to my computer, my it doesn't show up in iTunes and then iTunes freezes and eventually crashes. I've tried resetting it a few times, it hasn't helped. I don't know what to do. Please help me!

Since they are already removed I would make sure you have the latest ipod software, if not download it, and then reformat and resync the ipod. Reformatting will erase everything on the ipod, but it's already gone anyway. I would also go through the itunes prefs and see if there is anything checked that might do this.
Also, make sure you have the 5.0.1 update of itunes isntalled.

My Ipod has stopped working properly since the laptop shut down during synching.
My ipod is being slower and wont show any music. when I go into general settings it says the music and videos are loading..
It wont let me into settings all of the time either.
My applications and games have become slow or unresponsive.
The ipod keeps resetting itself, I have tried resetting it to no avail.
I tried plugging it into itunes but it freezes itunes and wont show up on my computer.
When I switch off the ipod it shows a spinning wheel until the battery dies, which could be nearly 2 hours!!
does anyone have any advice as to what to do?
currently ive reset it - nothing has happened
ive let the battery drain itself then recharged it to see if that would make a difference - no difference
Help ASAP needed

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

IPhone disconnects during synching

Out of the blue, my iPhone disconnects during synching. Each time is happens during the synch with contacts.
(I did add new contacts this morning. But I assume that my phone should support adding new contacts??)
Note: The error message says that the iPhone has disconnected, but it is still showing as being docked under 'Devices' in iTunes.

Hey klayon,
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac Pro and not plugged into a keyboard, monitor, or mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1286
You can also try Resetting the Sync History in the iSync application preferences.

"iPod classic synched with a different library" error

I get an error saying that my iPod is synched to another library - but I can't get that library to display the contents!! When I open my iTunes, the library is empty and I get the error message. How do I get the original library back (i.e. to display) instead of the current (empty) one?? I have over 42GB of music!!
Anyone???

Sorry about the delay, chris.
no actually, just replace the "owner's iPod" name in the error message with the name of the shuffle...etc. but the rest of the message is the same.
Thank you kindly. That rules out a possible complication/ramification of a Windows drive letter confusion (that can cause the name of a different ipod to appear when an ipod is plugged in).
Backtracking to something from your initial post:
that was the library that existed each time I pulled up iTunes... now, no library of songs is listed, and none of my playlists are on the computer, unless I have my iPod connected to it.
What I'm wondering here is if someone has accidentally created a second library on the PC in your user account, as per:
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
If you have multiples libraries in the same user account, unless you actively choose to open a different library during the start-up process, by default the last library that was open in iTunes is the one that will open when you next launch iTunes. So if a new blank library was created, and that blank library screen was open when iTunes was closed, that blank library would keep coming up each time iTunes was launched in the ordinary fashion. (And your ipods would say that they were synced to a different library if you connected them while the new blank library was open.)
So, next time you open iTunes, try choosing a library (as per the document I linked to earlier) and see if you can find your previous library. If the original library was in the default location, the following document may help with locating its .itl file:
What are the iTunes Library files?
Can you find another library file, with your music in it?

Ipod is synching Other Files

My Ipod/Itunes seems to be creating it's own files during synch. My music library is stored on my NAS drive Y:. It's about 52 GB.
My 60GB Ipod however, is synch-ing huge amounts of Other files all of a sudden - up to 19 GB of Other files.
After some investigation, I can see on the Ipod a large number of files that are named in the same syntax of four capital letters.mp3, such as:
AFQH.mp3
AMOC.mp3
AMUR.mp3
etc.
These files do not exist in my music library, though when I double click on them Itunes will play the song fine - they appear to be full duplicates of other songs in my library.
I've restored the Ipod several times now, even re-naming it once. I did an experiment with only synch-ing 2 files and that worked fine.
I have Itunes set to only copy music - there is no video or other files to copy.
Has anyone seen this before or know what is the solution? I figure I'm going to need a larger Ipod soon, but I don't want a new one to start synching 19 GB of Other...
By the way, my synch of selected files/lists only to my Iphone works fine.
Thanks!

My ipod is doing this too!!! I can't figure out what is happening. It seems that every time I sync my ipod it synced .02GB of other content all by itself. At one point, the other content disappeared on it's own, but that was months ago. Now I have over 2GB of other content on my itouch (8GB). Not cool. Let me know if you hear of how to get rid of it.

I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

I'm having this same problem and can't find a solution that works in the apple support community. What's frustrating is that this used to work seamlessly with Windows. Then I bought a macbook pro and upgraded to OS X Mavericks and a lot of stuff broke.
I'll call apple in the morning.

HT201628 My girlfriend accidentally rebooted her iPod during an update, and now it won't boot. How can this possibly be fixed?? She says the OS has been wiped. You know how to fix this??

My girlfriend believes she's wiped out the OS on her iPod 4th generation she said she did this by accidentally rebooting her iPod during an update, and now her iPod just shows the apple logo then fades to white. My question is, can this be fixed? Or is a new iPod necessary??

If you live near an Apple store take it in for diagnosis. Don't forget to make an appointment online first. If you don't live near a store, you may get help by searching "youtube" for DFU Restore ipod. This is not difficult to do but it requires proper timing to get the device into DFU mode.

I backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

i backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it.
Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
-Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
Or
-Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
-Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
-From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
-Click the Restore Backup button.

My ipod wont synch with itunes,

I moved my itunes from my laptop to my pc using the ipod as a hard disk, and now my ipod wont synch, sometimes it starts and then just hangs and says cannot copy blah blah blah due to an unkown errer 50. When i run the diagnostics the ipod cannot be found but it shows up in the list on the left of itunes and attempts to synch. Any help would be much appreciated as im desperate to get it working again, i only moved my itunes from my laptop because it is dieing and did'nt want to lose all my music, it seems that i may have inadvertantly lost it anyway!

Hi, thank you for the reply, unfortunetly i have tried all the suggestions on that link (and quite a few more).
The message is completely random as to whether its a download from the itunes store or something i have imported or a cd that i have added to my itunes. I have got to a point now where it will synch a certain amount of tracks (or photo's, books, etc) and then just give me an -50 message regardless of what it is i am trying to synch, my 80gb classic has now become a 50mb classic!

Error message when disconnecting ipod

When ejecting my ipod error message comes up 'cannot disconnect ipod there is content being used by another application' .What is the solution?

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried logging out of your account and back in? Or how about rebooting your computer to see if that helps?
I would also try resetting your iPod by pressing and holding the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. Then try ejecting the iPod again.

You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

Stopping iTunes 7 from disconnecting iPods?

How do you stop iTunes 7 from disconnecting iPods after updating? I have two Nanos and two iPod 5th Gens connected to iTunes 7. After they sync, most of the iPods will disonnect from iTunes and it is usually random for which iPods connect/disconnect. Under previous versions of iTunes, all of my iPonds would remain connected after syncing. Can anyone help here?
Thanks!
Z.

But this requires manual ejection--something I never had to do in previous versions of iTunes. Call me lazy, but I really do prefer the old functionality...
Thanks for the suggestion!

I can't get my ipod to synch with my conmuter or itunes. But my kids are able to synch their ipods.

I can't get my ipod to synch with my computer or itunes. I've checked the USB ports, my ipod is charged and my kids are able to get their ipods to synch.

Have you tried using a different known working USB cable? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.o port on the back of your PC? What happens if you reset the device with it still connected to your PC? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try removing all other USB devices (minus the keyboard and mouse if applicable) and reboot your PC. Then reconnect your iPod after opening iTunes. Any luck there?
What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac running iTunes. Is it recognized there?
