my ipod does show up in disk utility though

Does it appear in Device manager?  See here more details.

Have you tried a different USB port as well as a different USB cable if at all possible?  Does it appear when you connect it to another system?

    I had to format my PC in an emergency. And I had my photos in my computer and my ipod classic. When I formatted the PC I lost all my photos but I have it in this ipod. Could somebody help me to get these photos back into the computer. I have not connected it to the computer because it says it will sync and erase all the data in my ipod and I will lose my photos. I can't lose these photos. They are my precious memories

  • How can I reset ipod classic when error message 439 shows?

    how can I reset Ipod classic when error message 439 shows?

    The easiest solution and apparently the only approved solution via Apple (although a pain if you haven't backed up your device) to restore the phone if you can't figure out the passcode. It will erase everything but if you have a fairly recent backup then you will be fine...you may only lose anything that was added after the last backup. You can also try searching the Apple Support pages and forum to see if there is another solution. Ultimately, it's a plus to a certain degree that there is no easy way to change the passcode....if someone "found" it and wanted to try to get in to it....but it's a pain when it's a situation like yours.

  • Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes.  Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

    I've had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been connecting it to my laptop to sync any downloaded tunes from iTunes.  Unfortunately, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do I now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

    If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

    How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

    That would be via home sharing.
    Make sure  it's enabled in iTunes (file - home sharing) and Apple TV (settings - computers)
    You would then access on Apple TV using the computer icon. Your computer would need to be on and running itunes

    You need a third-party program like the paid PhoneView or TouchCopy. The free iFunBox may work.
    BTW this is the iPod touch forum.

  • HT1339 how to restore an ipod classic with error 1415

    how to restore an ipod classic with error 1415 latest operating system

    Hey there beaver17
    How are you?
    Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
    I did the following:
    My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
    The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
    It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
    Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
    Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
    I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
    Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
    If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
    Kind regards

  • My ipod classic has started making a mewing sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It will not play except when connected to my computer.  I tried resyncing and that did not work. How do I fix this problem?

    My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds.  It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me   I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work.  How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting?  I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily.  Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks.  Karen in GA

    Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

  • How to put my iPod classic music onto my iPad?

    Hi I was wondering how to move my iPod classics music on to my new iPad. Thanks.

    You will need to sync your music via your computer's iTunes, you can't connect an iPod to an iPad for copying music. If you don't have the music on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy music purchased from iTunes from the iPod via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you don't have it on your computer nor on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Anyone have a syggestion on how to get my Ipod touch working again besides putting it into restore mode

    Anyone have any ideas on how to get an Ipod touch to charge or sync without putting it into restore mode, I've prettymuch tried everything thats been put online so far

    Tried DFU mode?
    To do this follow these instructions:
        1. First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the Computer's USB port. Turn on your Computer's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
        2. Hold down the Home button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) and the Power button (located on the front bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
        3. Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
        4. After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your Computer as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
        5. After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.
        6. You will know when you have put your iPod Touch/iPhone correctly into DFU mode when the display is blank and that you do not have anything on your device.
    Once you have done this click restore and iTunes sould start to dowbnload and install the latest firmware.
    #Please note this will reset your iDevice to factory settings
