How can I get my ipod classic to connect to my computer?

So I downloaded Sharepod to get the songs on my iPod to my computer. And now when I connect it, it'll charge. But when it goes to sync anything new it does it for a minute then starts ejecting then a pop up shows up saying that disk (D:) is not connected or something along those lines. I tried to reset the iPod, doesn't sync after. What do I do to get it working again?

Hi Gaskarthfan01,

  • How can I get my Ipod to play on someone elses computer?

    How can I get my Ipod classic to play on someone elses computer.  Not my home computer where my library is stored?

    The simplest -- and safest way for both sides -- is to use the same sort of cable you use for the AUX port on your car -- an min-jack to min-jack cable. Plug it into the headphone plug on your iPod, and connect it to the Line-In on the friends computer. This eliminates any risk of your iPod being detected by iTunes on your friends computer and getting corrupted, and also elimates any risk of malware attempting to corrupt the iPod. If you are worried about battery, simply connect your iPod to an external charger when you do this.
    When I'm at work, I never connect my iPod to my work computer. I just use an external speaker. The iPod is only connected to its primary iTunes, and then I only update that iTunes when it is absolutely necessary.

  • How can I get my iPod Classic to play playlists in the order I selected them to play ?

    I've had my new iPod Classic for a couple of months, and with the help of a couple of third-party books (e.g., the missing manual), I'm getting comfortable with its operation. But here's a baffling issue: It appears there's no way to select, say, three or four playlists in iTunes and to synch them to my Classic so that they play in the order I want, much the way I did for  many years with my 5-disk CD player. Note: I assiduously avoid shuffling, and I do all my synching in iTunes manually.  I'd be grateful for any help (or workaround) to deal with this irritating issue. Thanks to all. 

    On the iPod, create an On-The-Go Playlist.
    Navigate to the first Playlist you want to use; press-and-hold the Select (centre) button until the Playlist name flashes. This puts that playlist into the On-The-Go Playlist, which is located at the bottom of the Playlist menu.
    Now navigate to the second Playlist you want; press-and-hold the Select button until the Playlist name flashes. This has added the second Playlist to the On-The-Go Playlist.
    Repeat for each Playlist you want to add.
    Once you have added all the Playlists you want, scroll down to the end of the Playlist to On-The-Go list. If you go into the On-The-Go list, you will see all the songs form your other Playlists, in Playlist order. Simply scroll to the first song and press the Select or Play to start the first song playing.
    By the way, there was no missing manual. No manual was supplied.

  • How can I get my IPOD Classic to play books using Gracenote?

    In the past I have been able to use my IPOD classic to listen to books on my cars using the USB connection. My new Car a (2013 GMC Terrain) will play the book, but I have no control of it if I try to pause it, it will revert back to the radio view and I have replug the unit.  Unfortunately, GMC added the Gracenote indexing software to the Intellink, so that it doesn't recognize the books, only songs. Is there a solution for this? No help from Audible or GMC.

  • How can I get my iPod classic to output to my tuner which is mp3 compatible

  • HT2292 How can I get my ipod classic to show up in devices in itunes?

    I need help.  My Ipod classic does not show up in devices.   I go to device manager and it does not show up.
    help

    Apple's documentation doesn't mention this as far as I can see: however it's correct that subscribed calendars could not be viewed on MobileMe (though they did sync to other devices: however it would seem that what was synced was the details of the subscription, not the calendar itself, so that effectively the other device just subscribed to the calendar afresh).
    I think that, subject to  correction from someone who's managed to do this it's a safe assumption to say that you cannot view subscribed calendars on the iCloud website, and that this is very likely a limitation of the CalDAV process.

  • How can i get my ipod classic to play old podcasts first

    first of, the ipad classic is fantastic and apple will be wise not to discontinue it.  anyway, one thing that gets my goat, is that when listening to podcasts it plays the newest first in sequence.  Why on earth would this be right?? anyone know how to change it?
    kind regards

    It's possible that Apple have realised that this is an odd way to make the iPod work because the iPod Touch has a much improved listing for Podcasts. (I own both. Guess which one I use for Podcasts!)
    I realise this isn't much help to you now, but it does suggest that Apple have sorted it out for newer models and you may want to consider that if you ever think about replacing the Classic. And yes, it is fantastic.
    Now if only the iPod Touch had 160Gb of storage...

  • HT1459 I can't get my ipod shuffle to connect to my computer and I also can't find the serial number on it

    When I go to download my book the computer tells me that it's not connected.  What is all this nonsense I just want to get this I pod to play books, I have now spent three days trying to get something on to it and all I get from the computer is pages and pages of stuff, and that is not the s word I want to use, to read.  None of which has been helpful.

    Try these:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - The troubleshooting here:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Make sure the router is using one of the 2.4 Hz bans since the iPod does not support the 5 GHz N band.

  • My laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!

    my laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!
    Please help!

    Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
    If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
    If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
    You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

    You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.
