Installed Leopard and my iPod is no longer recognized

I upgraded to Leopard the day FedEx delivered it. Everything seemed fine but this morning I dropped my iPod into its doc and it's not recognized. It has power and shows the battery charging and the screen displays the "don't connect" symbol. However it does not appear on the desktop and itunes does not acknowledge it. My external hard drive which is also a firewire 400 device is working just fine. It's a gen 3 iPod and it worked under 10.4.
I apologize of this has been asked. I didn't find anything when searching. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

i have the original problem with mine, but resetting my ipod doesn't help. it's stuck on the "do not disconnect" screen and my computer is not recognizing it at all. even after unplugging the ipod, the "do not disconnect" screen stays up and the only way to get it off it to reset it.
it also says that the computer is charging it, but when i turn the ipod on regularly, the battery life hasn't changed at all, even after being plugged in for 30 minutes.

  • Installed iTunes 10 - now iPod is no longer recognized

    I have tried for the last 4+ hours to get my iPod to work with iTunes 10 but to no avail. I am SO SORRY I downloaded this buggy program! I never had a problem before installing iTunes 10 now I'm stuck. I've tried uninstalling it and installing older versions but I keep getting an error message each time saying I can't open iTunes because it was installed with a newer version. I don't understand it. I uninstalled iTunes 10 but it is like it is still on my computer - keeping any older versions of iTunes to run. I also get an error message each time I reboot telling me that a synch file is missing from iTunes. Uninstalling and re-installing the newest version doesn't work either. Neither does running a 'repair' program. I guess until Apple offers a patch or they fix iTunes 10 I won't be using iTunes. Please be warned - iTunes 10 is full of problems. I would stay away from it until Apple decides to fix it.

    Additional information:
    The program iTunes is not started at this moment.
    When I connect my iPod Nano 5e Gen to the USB-port of my computer with Windows XP. The ipod is recognised by Windows XP as an drive within the explorer/my conputer.
    Then after a while iTunes starts and gives the message that the iPod can't be identified. And the iPod has disappeared from the explorer as an drive !! Further I can't get with my iPod in iTunes. What goes wrong?

  • De-install Leopard Because Cameras/Scanners/Itouch No Longer Recognized

    Leopard no longer recognizes my Canon SD600 or Epson 3170 in Image Capture. The whole OS has a MS instability feel. Itouch is no longer recognized. What's up??
    Anyway Is there an easy way I can back out of the Leopard upgrade without blowing away all of my date files?

    Hi Chris Metz;
    If you restore the backup you took before the upgrade to Leopard, that is the easiest way to get back to Tiger.
    I have to say that none of my systems or those that I help to support are suffering from any problems with Leopard.

  • I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade

    I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • After installing Leopard 10.5.3 Mail no longer works in SSL

    After installing Leopard 10.5.3 Mail no longer supports SSL (Port 993) with password authentication. Setting it back to Port 143 seems to be fine. While this is not a problem at home when I am on the road it is a definite problem. Are other users finding similar problems? What are the work arounds (besides changing mail programs)?

    No, all certificates are fine.
    Three months on 10.5.3? Really? It seems to me that we had 10.5.2 three months ago.
    Anyway, it seems that the mail problem may have been a coincidence with the release of 10.5.3 -- mail servers seem to be back up and mail, both SSL and non-SSL seem to be working as if 0730 EDT.
    This then becomes more of an Apple problem of letting the community know that mail is down -- and that problems are most likely not related to the update of Leopard. This would be particularly helpful since many of us (very many, I suspect) have the auto update configuration for doing system updates turned on.

  • Just Installed Leopard and all my files are GONE!

    Yesterday I installed Leopard and now all of my files are gone. I don't remember being asked how I wanted to install it...but on www.apple.com/support, it said that there were options like "Erase and Install." I don't remember choosing that, but if I had, is there any way to restore my files or does it do a zero erase of the hard drive? I don't have anything backed up, so thus far, I have lost 3 term papers that I was in the middle of and don't have anywhere else... Can anyone help?

    Even with minor OS patches and updates, I don't rely on "just do it" but verify and repair, backup, and only then apply updates (and lately, waiting a week first).
    Stop using that disk.
    See if Data Rescue II demo can see anything or not (you should install 10.4.10 on another disk drive and work from there, guess you are now?)
    Pre-existing errors that you weren't away of? If anything I've thought for a long time that installers should:
    warn about and offer to backup
    set a restore point in some manner
    verify and repair the boot drive
    ( and this would be done in Single User Mode behind the back )
    updates should be written to disk, but applied on restart, again in Single user mode
    No weekly or monthly backup routine or schedule? no DVDs with your photos and papers? not in 3 yrs!!! kind of hard to understand you never heard of backups, or burned a DVD of documents for "safe keeping."

  • Installed Leopard and now MacBook can not run on battery

    I installed Leopard and now if it is disconnected from the power it will shut down immediately. It worked fine before.. How do I fix?

    You might try to reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and/or PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory). Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM?

  • De-installing Leopard and re-installing Tiger

    After installing Leopard, my Final Cut Express won't work, so I want to de-install Leopard and Quick time 7 and re-install Tiger and earlier versions of Q Time. Do I do this?

    By erasing your hard drive then reinstalling Tiger and all required updates. Be sure to backup your files first so they can be restored after the reinstallation.

  • Just installed Leopard and now I can't send an e-mail

    I just finished installing Leopard and now I can't send or forward an e-mail. It wont even let me click on send. I'm not getting any error messages either. Anyone know why I can't send an e-mail?

    Since upgrading to Leopard, we have had trouble sending email. Usually couldn't but sometimes it would allow an outgoing message. Hours spent with tier 2 tech support, at Apple, AT&T and Netopia. All Mail settings were verified as correct. I saw a possible solution somewhere else in this discussion forum and tried it. Now Mail is working fine, with consistent email sending. Solution for us was to get the DNS numbers from AT&T and enter them on the Mac under System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS. The only DNS number listed there was the one for our Netopia 3347 modem. I clicked the + and added both the Primary and Secondary DNS numbers provided by AT&T. Clicked "OK", "Apply". Then I rebooted--don't know if that was necessary--but now email sends easily and so far no more "server does not support authentication" error messages. It was an easy solution, so it's worth a try.

  • After install Leopard and iTunes 9

    After install Leopard and iTunes 9, iTunes lock, when I connect my iPhone.
    What can I do?

    It was a permissions problem causing it.
    Get Info and the Sharing And Permissions section did not show it up.
    File Examiner (http://www.gideonsoftworks.com/filexaminer.html) shoed the problem with the permissions and allowed me to give the files the correct permissions again.
    From what I have been reading, the whole permission 'system' under Leopard seems to be a bit screwy anway. File Examiner seems good in that it shows you the 'real' file system permissions and not the 'user friendly' meaningless name Leopard gives.

  • Install Leopard and Snow Leopard from an external drive?

    Hey guys,
    I have a 120GB ext drive and was curious as to if its possible to install Leopard and Snow Leopard from it if I have the DMG's. I guess my main question is how would I setup formatting in Disk Utility?
    Thanks!

    Set up two 10GB partitions and a third partition for the rest of the drive on the external drive, use Disk Utility to "Restore" the mounted installer DVD to a 10GB partition on the drive.
    Plug the drive into a Mac and hold the option key down during boot. Select the installer you wish to use.

  • My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes.

    Hi There,
    The title actually says it all..
    (My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes 7.4.2, although the iPod works fine.. iTunes keeps saying to reset it, but I don't see why I should)
    The iPod seems to work just fine, so I'm not in a big hurry to erase all my songs audio books etc..
    I am thinking that this is a problem with Macintosh iTunes version 7.4.2, from what I'm seeing, but how should I proceed?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Eric

    Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you.  Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

    After installing OS 7 my iPhone is no longer recognized by car stereo even though it is hard wired in.  It doesn't even charge!  What gives?

    You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
    This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they  therefore respond
    So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
    try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

  • Startup abort and startup hard drive no longer recognized

    i went to install leopard and the disc verified itself and i picked my startup disk and archive and install and started the install then got the message that the install failed and contact the manufacturer. then my original startup disk is not recognized to install on at any time. i had repaired permissions and verified the disk prior to trying to insall leopard and now i cannot pick it at all and with disk utility and trying to erase it i get it cannot be erased because of some use. any ideas. should i reinstall tiger and see if that works? thanks

    That could have been caused by any of several factors.
    Did you have eDisk installed?
    Do you have enough free space for an A&E? Remember the A may take up 15Gb
    If you have a backup, reinstall Tiger from it and go through all the steps again, but choose an erase and install and then migrate your previous settings from your backup.

  • Trying to restore my Mac OS  after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password

    I am trying to restore my Mac OS after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combinationcommand-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
