I pod classic unresponsive to reset not showing in windows Itunes

My IPod Classic is unresponsive, when it is plugged into the laptop, it is showing a white screen with a black circle through it, Do not disonnect.
I have updated windows and ITunes and restarted the laptop. I have reset the IPod several times it does appear to do this, as the apple sign appears, but then  asks to restore with Itunes then returns to white screen again with Black circle and Do not disconnect in the top left hand corner there is a constant moving 'loading icon'.
USB port reads as working correctly. It is fully charged via socket source.
Also there is a internal low scratchy noise coming from the IPod. It is less than six months old and was working fine up until now.
I also tried as a last resort to restore, after about 20 mins Itunes said it was unable to restore device.
Any similar problems out there?

So the iPod isn't recognized in iTunes on your PC running Windows XP?
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  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?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
How to reset iPod
Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • Hey Apples Users, my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer

    hey Apples Users,
    my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer
    Could anyone in there show me the best solution for the same
    thanks in advance

    First of all does, the iPod power on okay? 
    Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB ports, preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC tower (these are directly soldered onto the motherboard and receive much high outputs of power than the ones on the front).
    What about a different USB sync cable?
    What shows up on the iPod's screen when you connect it?  Does it charge at all?  Maybe try resetting it with it still connected to your PC.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    It was all working fine before but today my iPod classic 120gb 2009 just not showing up on iTunes 12.1. There has been no software updated installed and the computer recognised my iPad perfectly. i have changed the usb port, the cable and restarted both my mac and iPod.
    when i plug the iPod in the iTunes actually starts and on the iPod screen it says "connected" but it just is not showing the device.

    I think its not you.. its all of us..
    I think its a bug

  • IPod model A1059, freezes, unresponsive to all click wheel entries.  Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or on windows explorer.  What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    IPOD model A1059 appears frozen and is unresponsive to all click wheel entries. Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or in Windows Explorer.  What is the problem and is there a fix?

    If you are unable to reset the iPod (assuming the hold switch is not in the On position either), then you'll have to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then connect it to a charger and leave it to charge for a couple of hours.

  • I forgot my passcode and want to reset my ipod. However it is not showing up in itunes

    My ipod touch has a passcode on it and I can not reset it. It also does not show up in itunes. I have followed all directions
    on how to reset itunes, ipod, and my computer. I still can not get past my passcode. Is there anything else that I can try to
    fix this issue.
    Thanks,
    Dawn

    You'll need to connect the device to the new iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.  From there, restore it to factory settings.

  • 80 GB Ipod Classic does not show up in itunes or Win Vista Machine

    Hi, I recently updated my itunes software with ver.8 and since then my 80 GB Classic ipod does not show up in itunes or in my computer. Hence, I am not able to sync my itunes. When I connect my ipod it just shows "Connected - Eject before disconnecting" and just freezes there. Pls help?

    Hi. When I connect my ipod to any microsoft device, sometimes my ipod doesnt connect. I cant charge it, or restore it as it behaves like a useless piece of plastic.. I get a yellow bubble 'Device not recognized or has malfunctioned'
    This problem is bizarre! I cannot find anyone who actually has a solution for this problem! Apples standard answer is for me to reinstall my drivers or update itunes or windows. Done it. No solution yet.
    My ipod works fine.... sometimes. Its a completely unpredictable problem. Ive googled this problem and so many ipod classic owners have asked.. solutions ive tried: the 5r's, updating drivers, It managed to connect once, but now it wont. My ipod normally works fine on my PC, XBOX, laptop and Mac.. but sometimes, unpredictably, it wont be recognized by anything apart from the mac. For a month it would not connect at all and I took it in to an Apple store where they told me it works fine. Its not my PC.. its up to date, and theres no reason why it doesnt work on my XBOX because some times it does.. last night it did, today its broken again, I suspect tomorrow it may work. This is SO frustrating!!
    I have alot of experience in PC's and normally I can solve a problem by process of elimination, updating and reinstalling, but in this case.. everything seems fine. My only idea is that maybe its my Sync cable?? Which also makes no sense because it generally connects fine on the mac - and, why would a sync cable be unpredictable.. surely it either works or it doesnt. HELP PLEASE!!
    Nick.

    my serial for my 80g classic is 8K819CPKYMV and is under warranty until May 2009, i bought it in August this year.

  • IPod Classic will not show up in iTunes

    Okay. I'm sure this has been posted somewhere before, but I don't have time to surf through all those posts, so here's my problem. I had an old MacBook with an iTunes account and my iPod Classic would sync up to it just fine. Now I am using someone else's iMac and my iPod will not show up in iTunes. The iMac recognizes my iPod; the icon for it will show up on the desktop. iTunes also somehow recognizes my iPod, because when I hook it to the usb, iTunes automatically opens up. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it (twice) via the steps you get from Apple support. I've also tried misc. other tips apple gives you, and to no avail. I'm tired of trying the same old thing- nothing ever works!! Any suggestions???? Thanks!

  • Hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone. how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?

    hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
    how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
    the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
    like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
    before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
    first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
    Many thanks

  • Brand new iPod classic 160 gb won't show up in iTunes devices

    Brand new iPod classic 160 gb won't show up in iTunes devices. The iPod is fully charged, iTunes reckonises my iPod touch, iPad, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4, but not the iPod classic, although it says the iPod is connected it doesn't register in iTunes.

    I purchased a new iPod Classic 160 GB in August 2013 and it (the iPod Classic device) would not show in iTunes though it did show in the Apple Finder. I tried EVERYTHING numerous times including resetting the iPod, updating iTunes and trying everything in the book and in on-line tips. Nothing worked and I was about to give up when I tried using the Apple iPod Classic cable that actually came in the iPod Classic box. It worked!!! Conclusion? Dont just use any old Apple cable eg. from a iPhone or whatever; TRY the USB cable that came with your iPod Classic!!! I have 2009 iMac with the latest Mac OS BTW.

  • My iPad will show up in my computer, but will not show up in iTunes.

    I have windows 8 and the latest software of iTunes on my computer. When I plug my iPad in, it shows up in my computer, but it will not show up in iTunes. I have tried everything besides resetting my iPad from the troubleshoot guide on the apple website. My mom just got an iPad mini for christmas and iTunes will not recognize her iPad either. I don't know what else to do.

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • I can't recall my passcode to my older iPod touch (after the newer one got stolen) and it's not showing up in iTunes, how can I restore it to clear the passcode?

    I can't recall the passcode to my older iPod, iPod touch 2g 8GB, (someone stole my 4g) and it's not showing up in iTunes, is there any other way to do a 'restore' to clear the old passcode and be able to access the iPod? Anyone???

    The only way is to restore the iPOd via iTunes. Have you tried:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    P
    Have yu tried setting your 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.
    - Next wold be to place the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see it. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • TS1363 1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes (windows 7)?

    1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC (but shows up in my computer).  Tried all the Apple trouble-shooting steps (some several times).  It used to work with Windows 7 on this PC.  Are there other steps I can try? 

    I'm not sure what "all" means, unless you state them, so if you have not done so already, you should use this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected.  Run iTunes.  Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
    Since this is a first gen iPod shuffle that IS recognized by the computer (so it's probably not a bad USB connector), you can also try using the iPod Reset Utility
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
    This is for the first and second gen iPod shuffle only, and does a lower level reset than using a normal Restore in iTunes.
