I installed a ipod shuffle, named it differently, now my ipod classic is not recognized by computer or itunes.  How do i fix?

I installed an ipod shuffle with different name.  Now my ipod classic is no longer recognized by computer or itunes.  It appears that Itunes decided that I had replaced the classic with a shuffle.  Classic battery doesnt seem to want to charge, and cannot restore.   
How do i fix?

  • Ipod mini is not recognized by computer, or itunes

    I bought this ipod mini off of ebay, and it did not come with the cd. I have installed itunes, but when i plug the ipod in and the found new hardware thing doesnt pop up, and itunes doesnt recognize the ipod is plugged in. The ipod works fine, and i have reset it. Any suggestions? Do i need that cd??

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Make sure that the iPod updater is installed...
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download
    Install that and see if the iPod shows Do Not Disconnect on the screen. If it does then open the iPod updater and restore the iPod. If it doesn't then try resetting the iPod with it connected to the computer...

  • IPod classic (160gb) not recognized by computer

    I have a 7th gen 160gb iPod classic which isn't recognized by my computer. I recently replaced the hard drive and battery and it seemed to go off without a hitch. After I put the front plate back on the screen lit up and everything was working. I connected it to my computer and synced it to my iTunes library, although it only would only sync 140 songs out of my 6000 song library. I connected my iPod a few more times and eventually the computer stopped recognizing the USB device. I restarted my computer, my iPod, I tried a new USB cable, and I tried plugging it into my other computer. No matter what my iPod wouldn't get recognized. When I plug it in the screen lights up and it charges but my computer doesn't recognize my iPod as a device.

    It seems to be working now. Amazing!
    I would like to thank you both for the help, CaliforniaHighwaysGuy and AncientMumu.
    Here's what I did. I wasn't getting folder acces from my Windows XP because it was Macintosh formated.
    So I connected it again to the Mac and used an online tutorial to be able to access the hidden files through Terminal. (I'm not sure if it's allowed to post links to tutorials from other sites, but I'll look into the rules and post, if possible).
    Had to relaunch FInder a few times as it stopped responding from time to time. Went to iPod_Control > iTunes and erased all the files.
    Disconnected the iPod, as it was still not recognized by iTunes (10.6).
    Connected it to my Windows, wich has the 10.4 version of iTunes. Restored (Windows format) it and disconnected.
    Went back to the Mac, and it was recognized. I Didn't restore it.
    I've already transfered one album and it synced just fine. (One of the problems I was having is that the music transfer was really slow).
    Already reconnected the iPod and it was once again recognized after a few seconds.
    I really appreciate all the help.
    I'll try to updated this post in a few days saying if it's still working properly.

  • My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

    My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.  The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device.  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect.  The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable.  When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine).  There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo.  Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?  I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

  • My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...

    My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...
    I feel like there must be an issue with the library location, but I don't know how to correct that.  My Dad recently wiped my computer and deleted Windows XP and installed Windows 7.  I don't know what he did, but my iTunes library is still intact it seems. However, I've added quite a few podcasts that I'd like to sync to my iPod.  When I connect it, it goes through the sync process, but ends quickly and says its safe to disconnect.  None of the new podcasts are on there though.
    Also, there was something really wrong with my iTunes account.  When I went to buy something from the store, it wouldn't accept my password, and when I went to reset it, it wouldn't recognize my birthdate and month (I had the correct username).  I ended up creating a new account and purchasing a song.  This time, it did sync the new song onto my iPod, but not the podcasts I'm trying to sync.
    As far as the library location, is there anything particular that has to be included in that library in order for it to be recognized by iTunes when you sync?  Awhile back (before my Dad worked on my computer), I had changed the folder location to my external hard drive, but in researching, I saw that I still had in another drive some folders with music that is currently on my iPod.  So it looks like I have some stuff on two different drives... Maybe this has something to do with it not syncing right?
    I did check, and my Firewall doesn't have iTunes blocked.
    As you can see, I'm not very experienced with all of this... Sorry for the confusion.  If you are interested in helping me and have any questions, please let me know.
    I'm hoping someone will be able to help me... I desperately want to be able to listen to my podcasts, as I'm a stay-at-home Mom of 4 little ones, and the podcasts are kind of an "escape" for me when the children are napping or playing. :-) 
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Oh my goodness!!  I am absolutely thrilled right now B-rock!!  I don't know how I missed it, but when I went back to change the setting like you mentioned, I noticed that the very top box that says "Sync Podcasts" wasn't checked!  I have no idea why... But my heart started to race when I checked that box and all of a sudden it started syncing all my podcasts!!  It's gonna take a long time (I have 385 of them!), but I am just so happy you helped me with this problem.  Thank you SO much! 

  • Ipod Nano not recognized by computer (or itunes) but charging.. so connected

    worked until this am (though I think I had this once before, a couple years ago, too often follows itunes updates)
    connected to computer (win 7) this morning and it is not recognized by computer (or itunes)
    can't find it looking in Explorer
    but, it is charging so... it is connected
    have tried everything except re-installing itunes... if the computer is not seeing it, and it shows the connection when itunes isn't open...
    would that make any difference?

    Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with your iPod shuffle not showing up in iTunes. Also make sure that you have the cable plugged in completely to your iPod Shuffle and not just slightly pushed in.

  • My Ipod Classic is not recognized by my PC but is recognized on my laptop.

    Hardware: Ipod Classic 32
    Software: Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3
    Issue:
    If I plug the ipod to any USB on the pc I get a notice that says "USB device not recognized"- If I go to the drivers and uninstall, and then reset, it will recognize the unit- briefly flashing the red "do not disconnect" sign and then do the same thing stateing that it's unrecognized.
    However, If I plug the ipod to one of the laptops, there is no issue at all. (I've done the disc mode as well)
    I went so far as to uninstall all the drivers and reset them all and then the ipod was recognized but my keyboard was disabled!  So, I reset again and everything works but the ipod is still not recognized.
    Additionally, I have a slot where I would plug a camera memory card and it also stopped working around the same time the ipod did. The odd part is that if I plug the camera via usb, I can upload pics with no issue- just can't use the slot for the memeory card.
    I was thinking that this is an issue with the driver but it seems intermittent as I have left the ipod plugged a for a while a few times and sometimes it will just start working out of the blue.
    I am not sure what else I can do. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Ssssssss sounds whenever the letter 's' is sung on my iPod Classic but not on my computer -

    sssssssssssssssss sounds whenever the letter 's' is sung on my new iPod Classic but not in the itunes library on my computer - any suggestions?

    Do you mean the s sound is too prominent? If so, check the EQ setting on your iPod. If it's set to something like "speech" or "treble booster", turn it off and see if that makes things better for you.
