ERROR MESSAGE WHEN CONNECTING IPOD TO PC

My ipod shuffle has been working fine for over one year. Yesterday I went to connect the ipod to the docking station on the PC to charge it and an error message stating "USB device not recognized" pops up. The Ipod doesn't open up when itunes is open and the computer does not recognize it at all. I tried different USB ports and the same problem occured. I reinstalled Itunes multiple times with no luck. I even tried the ipod reset utility program and nothing. PLEASE someone help, I am out of ideas and i dont know what to do, HELP!!

If you proceed you will lose all of your music. You weren't using Time Machine on your laptop?

Error message when connecting Ipod

Ok, so I just got the 5th generation Ipod 60GB. and when i first got it it worked fine, i was able to download my music onto the ipod. now all of the sudden i keep getting this error message, two. THe first one says that Itunes has had an error and will be forced to closed. The other one says "the instruction at "0x7c809784" referenced memory at "0x8818cdoe". The memory could not be "written"" And this happens everytime I connect the IPod and causes Itunes to close. I have tried reinstalling Itunes, I have reset my Ipod, I just don't know what else to do! Help Pleaaaaaaaaaaase! I would be forever grateful.

This is OS X's way of saying your iPod's hard drive (or RAM drive in this case) is corrupt. Or at least it thinks it is. Is the iPod playing music? If so the first thing I'd try is rebooting the computer, disconnecting and connecting the iPod's cable, and try again.
If you select initialize (and you'll have little choice if the above didn't work) your iPod will be erased. After this is finished, run the iPod restore/update software and you should be able to sync it again.

ITunes sends error message when connecting iPod touch

I have an iPod touch 2nd generation, and I decided to reset it as it was having problems, and now it displays the connect to iTunes message like when I first purchased it. I connected it to iTunes like it wanted, but when I connect the iPod to iTunes, iTunes displays the following error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "iPod touch" because an unknown error occurred (0xE000001)". I am not an uninformed person on these matters and have tried everything I can think of i.e. updating iTunes, using a different dock connector etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Maxwell,
This is most likely a USB connection issue.
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the computer, using the cable that came with it.
If the issue persists, try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286

Windows - No Disk error message when connecting Ipod to computer

I recently connected my Ipod to the Computer as I have done for the last year and I am now getting an error message reading: "Windows - No Disk". It then asks me to insert a disk. I cannot cancel out, continue or retry which are the three choices. I eventually have to Ctrl + Alt + Del to close out Itunes. Can anyone help? Thank You.
Dell XPS Windows 2000

I have been ejecting it. This problem only began recently. I read through about 30 pages of this forum and found someone postoing about the same problem. They said it may be McAfee Viruscan in the background.I'll check that out.

Error message when connecting ipod nano

My ipod nano has been working just fine, then today when I connected it to my computer I got this message: "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read. To continue with the disk inserted, click 'ignore'." Then you can click "initialize" "ignore" or "eject." The ipod does not show up on the desktop or in iTunes, and although it charges, it did not update. Resetting did nothing. I tried clicking ignore and eject - neither did anything. I was afraid to click initialize in case it did something terrible to my ipod! Any ideas?

Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.
You can download iTunes for your computer here.

ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
-Plugging in your iPod to your PC
-Ignore the error messages
-Go to My Computer
-Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
-Right-click on it and select Properties
-Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

Error message when connecting 80GB Video iPod

I'm getting this error message when trying to connect my 80GB Video iPod:
"The iPod (name) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)."
Never seen this one before.
I haven't synced this iPod for a few weeks but it always behaved fine before, taking a few seconds to appear in iTunes (v7.5) then syncing perfectly when I hit the Sync button (I have it set to manually sync only because sometimes I want to change the contents or only sync music).
Before syncing on this occasion, I did an iPod software update via iTunes - iTunes said there was a newer version (1.2.3). After the update, I disconnected the iPod for a few minutes (somehting I wanted to check content before syncing), then reconnected it. At first iPod took about a minute to show up in iTunes - way too long. I Reset the iPod and tried again but still LONG delay to appear in iTunes (again about 1 minute). I did another Reset - same result. Then I did a complete Restore, after which syncing to restore the contents gave problems - it refused to finish the sync. I had to disconnect and start again, syncing the data one section per sync session - Contacts, music, videos, iCal - which seemed to work fine. Then I disconnected, waited a few minutes then reconnected the iPod to check. It wouldn't connect at all. Did a Reset, tried o connect again and it did connect but then proceeded to resync all my contacts taking almost 30 minutes (way too long) to do so (I had made NO changes in Address Book since that data was put in there). I tried to reconnect again but then got the error message (above). Did another total Restore and the same shenannigans happened. Now, I have an iPod with data on it and works fine, but iTunes won't recognise it - just gives this error message every time.
By the way, my 8GB Nano (software 1.1.3) seems to sync fine on the same system, same computer.
Could this be the 1.2.3 iPod software giving issues? I appreciate any help because I also use this iPod for recording for my work, which getting a little urgent now.
Many thanks.

Thanks Zevoneer, but no real success. I did all that but when I tried to sync after it, it got partially through the sync (about 10% I'd guess) and presented an error message saying that the disk couldn't be read form or written to (sorry but I forgot the error number). I disconnected the iPod, waited a few minutes then reconnected and again got the message but then the ipod continued to finish the sync, even though almost all of the music and 2 of my 4 videos didn't go over to the iPod. I'm now thinking that this just isn't satisfactory reliability from the device since I use it a lot in my work and rely on it. But this new iPod is only a few months old, had very little use and only made about 12 recordings - In comparison, I've used the Nano heaps but now want to move over to the bigger one, basically for more capacity and bigger screen for video. I wonder if it's a hard drive failure in this iPod?

HUGE Error Message When Syncing IPod!!!

alright well first of all i have the new nano 4G ipod. Recently i added a TON of new songs, and apparantly i went over the size limit that my ipod could hold. In other words I had more songs on my itunes library than could fit into my ipod. I found this out when I tried to sync my ipod after adding all of these new songs. This is the error message I got: "ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
Now it gave me a temporary playlist before but i accidentally deleted so now I get this message. I really really really need help is there anything at all i can do I'm seriously going to die if this doesn't work soon =[

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection
