I Pod classic not appearing in i tunes

When I plug in my I pod Classic 80g the follwing error message occurs:
There might be a problem with some of the files on this device or disk. This can happen if you remove the device or disk before all the files have been written to it.
Scan & Fix (recommended)
Continue without scanning.
I have tried clicking both options, but although a scan appears to start, the dialogue box disappears and nothing happens. I have tried the "5 Rs" but am unable to restore as the device is not shown in I Tunes.
I also have an i phone which I have no issues connecting to the same laptop & itunes, so would appear to be an issue with the i pod?
Any ideas would be appreciated as I am at a loss with this...
Thanks abs

I have the ipod classic 120gig and am having the same problem. Just started today. I even tried Media Monkey and can't get it to recognize my ipod. Still searching the discussion groups for a fix.

  • My I-Pod Touch contains an audible book, which I can not remove.  It does not appear in I-Tunes, and this takes up so much memory that I can't sync my i-Pod.

  • Pod not appearing in i-tunes

    I've just brought a 5th Gen Nano. I previously had a 4th gen one which worked fine with i-tunes. However having rigged it all up today and making sure I have newest version of tunes nothing is happening.
    When I connect my pod to the PC it comes up with the auto-play option like any normal usb and nothing is appearing in i-tunes. I haven't got the devices option down the left or anything.
    Can someone please help! I've been without a pod for a month now and desperatly need it back!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks

  • Pod classic 160 appears on desktop but not in iTunes

    My new iPod Classic 160 appears on my desktop but not in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes installed (and reinstalled (twice)). When I first launch iTunes I get the warning that my iPod is using (old) usb 1 port to connect to my G4 (my beloved G4). This is correct, it is, I can live with slow sync. Anyway, I want to restore my iPod but iTunes freezes (crashes) after giving me his error message:
    'The iPod "Mark Carter's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-1302).'
    Then I have to force quit iTunes,etc.
    Also, I was listening t music on iPod but then it just seemed to disappear? Can still see albums/songs/artwork etc. but won't play track just skips through them.

  • TS1410 I pod Classic not recognized? What can I do?

    I pod is not recognized.  What can I do?

    missanoshka,
    if you select the MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.5.dmg file which you’d downloaded, and press ⌘i to Get Info on it, what information is shown for it under ▼ General: Size? My initial guess is that you could have an incomplete download of that file.

  • HT1386 My i-pad2 is now not appearing in i-tunes under devices?

    All of a sudden my ipad2 is not appearing under my device when syncing with the computer. I have checked cables, unplugged and re-plugged my i-pad. It started doing this after my last update.

    Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, reboot the iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I-Pod Classic Won't Play I-Tunes Movie

    I recently purchased Scott Pilgrim vs The World off of I-Tunes and was able to transfer it to my I-Pod however whenever I try to play it I just get a blank black screen that says "Chapter 1" with the counter set at 0:00. It plays my other videos just fine including an entire TV season I purchased off of I-Tunes.
    Also worth noting that this was a purchase not a rental.

    Well let me bump this, as this problem is becoming annoying. Again the I-pod nano I own, will not let me do anything, I.E Changing playlists, & the wheel will not work at all if it is warm, or not ice cold.
    Solutions needed thanks....Vegeta

  • Ipod Classic not responding in i-tunes

    My ipod classic is coming up with an error message in my i-tunes account stating there is a problem with this drive and that my ipod is not responding.
    Also, before I plug my ipod into the computer the itunes is working fine then when I plug it in, it goes to a hault and this error message shows up.
    I can't figure out why or what to do. We have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and the same things are still happening.
    I'm not sure if it is the new version of itunes that's the problem or if it's because our computer is now windows 8.
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm hoping someone else has maybe come across this issue and would be able to help me.
    Thanks!

    I had this problem with my iPod Classic a few months ago. I ended up reverting my iPod back to factory settings.
    This may also help;

  • ATV not appearing in i-Tunes (again)

    I've just bought a 160Gb ATV and cannot - after 2 weeks of trying - get i-Tunes to recognise it. I've downloaded everything relating to latest ATV software, bonjour, i-Tunes and Vista 64 compatibility, but still no ATV joy. I can download from i-Tunes on my laptop and ATV; they just won't talk to each other. I've followed the ATV help guides and read through dozens of threads on this site, again no improvement; although, i haven't seen any exact combination of my circumstances. Before I have an ATV sized hole in the window, does anybody have any suggestions?

    Make sure the cord is plugged in on the way and the cord is not broken or damaged! also make sure you have latest update of itunes
