why is my ipod classic ejecting itself from my laptop?

Is Enable Disk Use ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab? Does this happen when you plug the iPod into another available USB port?
Are there any other USB devices that are plugged in?

the store where i bought my CLassic doesn't encounter this problem.. i also lend it to my friend and it worked perfectly with him too.. i came up of a conclusion that my PC is the problem.. but how do i fix it?? are there any ipod drivers i need to install in my PC???
PLEASE HELP ME! I'M DESPERATE =) THANKS!!!
PS: MY Classic charges when it's connected in my PC..

hi, i thought i'd offer an alternative solution as i found something that worked for me.
i got my first ipod yesterday (the classic 80gb) and i have had this problem. it kept ejecting itself intantly. well...i managed to update it to 1.1.2 and sync it once but then i had this problem since. i tried different usb ports and also different cables but nothing worked.
this is what finally worked:
before, i always had itunes open and running then plugged in my ipod and i got this problem. i tried closing itunes, and just plugging in my ipod to the computer without itunes running and it didn't eject (nor did it open itunes for me as apparently it is supposed to) so anyway i connected and it held the connection without ejecting, then i opened itunes manually by clicking the icon and it held the connection. at this time i changed the settings to manually sync the ipod and to use it as a hard disc, and since then (only this morning) it has worked ok and not kept ejecting. hopefully it'll continue to work in this way. good luck guys hope it works for you too.
what a crappy company apple must be to have such a high profile product used my millions and it's just plagued with constant problems and bugs. my mobile has to do 3 times as many things as the ipod and it never has any trouble. sort it out apple!!!!!

Ipod Classic Ejecting Itself

My Ipod glassic keeps ejecting itself before a sync is even complete. I have tried reseting it, changing cables, changing ports, putting it into disc mode. I updated Itunes a few days ago and that seems to be the only thing that has changed since I last plugged in my ipod. It won't even let me restore it from my computer.

HT1320 why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

It's not a "fix," actually. If that is a 4th gen iPod connected using USB, you need to do what it says and plug it in to the white square power adapter that originally came with those models. Later Apple power adapters should work; third-party adapters may or may not work. It has something to do with voltage. The USB connection to computer does not provide the required voltage (although it's obviously fine for normal syncing and charging).
If that iPod is connected to a FireWire port, it apparently provides the required voltage, because that step does not come up during the Restore. That model was a transition between iPod connecting to FireWire and connecting to USB. Earlier models required FireWire. Later models only used USB.
If you don't have an adapter, and there is an Apple Store nearby, I guess you could take it to the store's Genius Bar. I'm sure they have a power adapter there, to complete the Restore. (Just don't let them re-do the Restore on a Mac, if you use a Windows PC. Different storage formatting.)

Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

is your battery charged? How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a playlist when it stops)? I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

Why does my ipod classic shut off unexpectedly

Why does my ipod classic (80 gb) shut off unexpectedly? This happens often and more so when the earphone (any earphone) moves. The only time it does not shut off is when my ipod is lying flat on a table.

Hey madelinefrommiami,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like it may be a hardware issue if moving the earphone shuts off the iPod. A frustrating situation for sure. Take a look at this page for information on available service options.

I bought an iPod classic in Japan from an apple store...

I bought an iPod classic in Japan from an apple store. I still have the reciept but obviously it is in japanese. There are 3 or 4 dead pixels stuck on the iPod screen. If I take it back to an apple store in the UK could I have it fixed? The iPod is less than a year old.
Thanks,
TehTom

If it was purchased less than 14 days ago, you can return it to the store for a full refund and buy a white one. Otherwise, no, you can't exchange it.

My iPod classic was stolen from my car is there away to recover it

My iPod Classic was stolen from my car is there away to use iTunes to recovery it ?

The only way that you can track it, is if you had find my iPhone app on, and it needs to be connected to a wi-fi network. You should change your iTunes password as soon as possible.

I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song...

I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song... I have to manually reset the iPod for the iTunes to run correctly, but then my music isn't added and iTunes tells me I have to restore the iPod... I've done this numerous times only to no avail... Someone please help!!!

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Why does my iPod Classic self-eject with Windows 7?

I've been having a complete nightmare with my iPod Classic 160GB. When I plug it into the USB, iTunes doesn't recognise it and, when I watch the screen, it shows the "Connected" screen then ejects itself and disconnects! Anyone know why and what I do to be able to use my iPod? BTW I'm running Windows 7 - which updates itself automatically.
I've uninstalled everything Apple, restarted and reinstalled iTunes - but nothing seems to work. HELP!!

Glad to hear its working properly.
Just to clarify, "self-ejecting" is not what I was describing. If you use automatic syncing and disk use is NOT enabled, iTunes unmounts the iPod's "disk" most of the time, and mounts it ONLY when syncing is taking place. So, looking at the disk from Windows (the "system"), it will be mounted when iTunes is syncing, but otherwise unmounted. So what you described originally, with the iPod's screen initially showing "Connected" and then not connected a short time later makes sense, because the system was mounting the iPod disk to sync and then unmounting it after syncing was done.
However, in the iTunes window, the iPod should continue to appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES, whether the iPod's disk is currently mounted or not. It appears in iTunes when you connect the iPod and should remain there until you eject (or disconnect) the iPod. If the iPod was disappearing from the iTunes window by itself, there was something wrong. And it sounds like it's been corrected with your actions.

Why does my ipod classic keep ejecting when I connect it iTunes?

My ipod 160 classic ejects itself.

Before I can click on it in itunes it ejects and disapears. I already had it in Disk Mode and have been able ot use it within the past year sucessfully. Now it won't stop ejecting itself. How can I fix this? I even tried a new ipod cable.
-Thanks!

Did you do a simple reboot of both the PC and iPod to see if that does any good? It wouldn't hurt to also remove any other USB devices if they are connected.
To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
