Having problems cinnecting Ipod Classic to Itunes

Hi,
Has anyone had problems getting the Ipod Classic connected to Itunes?  Never had this problem before.  Could it be the updated Itunes software?

Hello boff
If you are trying to migrate your music from your iPod to your new computer, it will only move over any purchased content associated Apple ID. If you want to move over your music, check out one of the many options to move your music from your old computer.

  • HT1351 Am having problems syncing iPod classic 160gb to iTunes within Windows 8. Can you help?

    I bought my iPod Classic 160GB from new in April 2012.  For several months, I ran it through an older HP laptop running Windows XP home edition (service pack 3 I think?).  I did however, use a Toshiba external hard drive to store all CDs/podcasts/photos etc.  All worked very well and I put a fair amount of music (via CDs and podcasts) on the iPod via iTunes.  All worked successfully.  I changed computer earlier this year - another HP laptop but now running Windows 8.  I've downloaded the up to date edition of iTunes AND have also transferred all existing material/files from the same Toshiba external hard drive to the iTunes in my new computer.  (think I did this correctly?)  So far, so good.  I have placed some more music on the external hard drive and into iTunes and wanted to sync with my iPod.  I connect iPod to the computer.  It's recognised in iTunes as the window comes up showing iPod's serial number and settings etc etc.  The iPod screen shows 'sync' and the top of screen in iTunes also shows 'syncing' however, after a few seconds, this stops and the iPod screen shows 'OK to disconnect' without having transferred any of the new music onto the iPod.  Although all the existing music remains on the iPod (the stuff that was there before), the copule of new CDs hasn't been transferred over.  Can anyone help me solve this problem?  I hear that there are some problems at the moment syncing iPods within Windows 8.  Anybody else had this problem?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hello hindzee,
    The acticle below goes over how to sync content to iPod Classics. The section titled "Syncing automatically" will most likely be the most helpful protion of that article for you.

  • Problem syncing iPod Classic with iTunes

    A couple of days ago I purchased several albums from iTunes, but none of the songs will sync with my iPod Classic.  I just purchased some other songs, and they synced fine.  I have the current version of itunes and have never had this problem before.  I have approximately 7,000 songs on the iPod. I have tried everything I know. Any suggestions

    Hey catwoman001,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! iPod software version 2.0.5 is available for the iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009). If this is your model, you may want to update the iPod. If you are having issues with your iPod, the following troubleshooting assistant may help:

  • Problems with iPod Classic and iTunes

    Since a previous post of mine (where I was complaining about the bugs on iPod Classic and/or iTunes) has been deleted, at last I have the confirmation that some Apple fellow is reading these posts.
    So my question is addressed to any Apple employee that is reading this:
    Should I return my iPod Classic or should I wait for Apple to provide any fix/update/informations?
    Thank You

  • Is anyone else having problems syncing iPod after latest iTunes upgrade?

    My iPod will not sync after the iTunes 10.4 upgrade - first it tries to reload every song in my library, then it quits and says 'cannot copy due to duplicate file name' and this is while my iPod colored data bar says all the stuff is still there?

    It gets worse!  I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and am trying to synch a Mac Book, MacBook Pro, iphone 4s, and two iPads via iCloud.  I have got a colassal unadulterated mess! 
    I have now seen as many as 10 duplicates in my various address books and on the web version of icloud.  I tried manually deleting entries from the web version of icloud and somehow lost my wife's contact info. 
    I have several email accounts and contact lists I am trying to synch, My .mac and .me accounts, a gmail account, a yahoo account, a commercial account.  I also specified twitter and am trying to add facebook.  I also have an MS/Outlook address book on my Mac's that I am trying to synch up. 
    The way that icloud is handing contacts is just a total disaster.  I've been an IT guy and worked with computers for over 40 years and I'm going nuts trying to figure out the logic of what the heck is going on. 
    I see a disasterous result of merging data into contacts.  It appears that records that did not match were merged and I have data from multiple contacts in the same record. 
    As I said, i have as many as 10 (or more) duplicates in the address book, and in some cases I lost entries such as my wife's!.
    What a freaking MESS! 

  • I am trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes 11.0.4 but cant. Cant find source on itunes either.

    I am trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes 11.0.4 but cant. Cant find source on itunes either. Can anyone tell me what procedure to follow. I also cant find source on itunes. Ipod do show the connection but cant see anywhere on Itunes
    can any one help with any information

    I'm having sync issues too since I've updated to 11.0.4.  My ipod 160 will no longer sync properly or will hang when attempting to sync yet my 4th gen touch doesn't have any problems.  I am thinking about uninstalling it and rolling back to an older version of itunes.

  • Can't Eject iPod Classic in iTunes 10

    After syncing my 160G iPod Classic with iTunes 10, I could not eject the iPod Classic in iTunes 10. It says the iPod is being used by another Application (when there is NONE except iTunes 10). I had to quit iTunes 10, and eject the iPod Classic via Finder Window. There were a couple of times where I had to perform OPTION-APPLE-ESC before I could eject the iPod Classic. Is there something wrong with this version of iTunes - anybody having same problem? Or could it be my PPC iBook G4? <Don't think so.>
    With all the complaints I've read about iTunes 10 (yah, the icon does look horrible, Steve, despite what you may say - it looks soooooo 'bland'), I suspect it's the latest-but-no-longer-greatest software, iTunes 10.
    Any suggestions/assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Else, I may go back to the earlier version, where I had no problems at all.
    Much thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    I'm having a similar problem ... nothing but problems with iTunes 10
    In my case, my iPod nano is showing up as a device in Finder and even when I eject it from iTunes it remains in the Finder for some time. When I reconnect the nano then iTunes starts playing music, but the nano does not appear in iTunes (although it shows up again in Finder.)
    I have to restart iTunes for the nano to show up again. Disk use is not enabled. I've also had problems with the nano occasionally showing up with the incorrect info (image etc.) in the Summary window.
    I had none of these problems until I upgraded to iTunes 10 (other than it showing up in the Finder.)
    I suspect it will not be easy to go back to iTunes 10 because iTunes 10 upgraded the iTunes Library (as far as I remember.)

  • Ipod Classic with Itunes 12.1 - Warning

    First off,
    Known issues - immediately after 12 dropped, pretty much all functionality involving Ipod classics was broken. Mac OS recieved a patch that fixed this, Windows has not, and there has been no addressing this issue thus far.
    My stuff: Ipod class 120gb 8 years old, windows 7 64bit gaming rig, windows 7 64bit laptop. Gaming rig has been updated to 12.1, laptop was kept in version 11.
    The problems: Most common - Ipod will disconnect seconds after being plugged in, leaving no chance to do any diagnosing whatsoever.
                          Less common - Ipod will show up and be interactable in Itunes, click Sync and get stuck in a never ending loop, stuck on song 1 of X forever, I left it doing that overnight - a good 16 hours - just in case, click restore and get an error 1439 (or similar number, basically same error) Ipod cannot be restored
                          Least common -  upon clicking "restore Ipod" the computer will blue screen, complete system crash resulting in a system recovery or total loss of data
    The fix(for me anyway) - use itunes 11 - Thankfully I had an old laptop that still had version 11.something installed on it, I was able to transfer my non-itunes store music to it and everything is just peachy
    I reiterate - These are known issues, I have found dozens of forum posts on various websites complaining about just how fantastically broken the itunes 12 update has been, and many people have resorted to downgrading back to 11, a not-so-broken version. But here's the kicker - Itunes version 11.0.0.163 has NUMEROUS problems that result in either failed installation or instant crashes whenever you try to launch it, or if you're lucky just crashes whenever you try and access the Itunes store through it. Good luck trying to find someone to help you with installing these old versions if you run into one of these problems.
    If you have an Ipod classic and a windows 7 computer DO NOT update to Itunes 12, it will not work, and most support operators will run you through hours of diagnostics just to prove that your ipods hard drive isn't crapping out from age.

    Thank you Bka131! I have exactly the same problem (your most common: appears, then disappearing). I already spent DAYS to try, remove iTunes, drivers, re-intall, uninstall any competitor SW that is able to sync music...
    Today, I tried with the latest iTunes just issued (12.1.0.71) and still the same issue: my iPod classic appears for 1 sec in iTunes, then disapear...
    This is incredible. Do you know if some people ARE able to sync their iPod Classic with iTunes 12.x? Or do Apple wants to kick out all the "old" iPod Classic and force us to buy new iPxx? I can not believe they could not fix such big bug more quickly ...I did not find any official announcement from Apple that this is a known but unsolved bug ... Very strange as this seems to touch many users…
    Do you have a safe place where I can download iTunes 11.xxx?

  • Transferring songs from a Windows-formatted iPod classic to iTunes on Mac

    Hi everybody, I'm curious to see if this is even possible. My husband's Windows laptop died for the second time in three years, so he decided to switch to a Mac after seeing my MacBook last longer than both of his Windows laptops. :o) Anyway, now that the Windows hard drive is dead-and no, he didn't back up his songs to CD-he wants to transfer the songs on his Windows-formatted iPod Classic to iTunes on his Mac. I tried Yamipod, but it said "firmware unsupported" and quit-I suspect the Windows format had something to do with it. He has a lot of songs ripped from CDs and he doesn't want to lose them or have to spend time re-ripping them. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help!

    same thing happened to me. I purchased iPod Access from the internet (for about $15). This program will let you transfer your music and playlists from your iPod to your library
