IPod 1st Gen (Scroll wheel) not recognized by iTunes

iPod 1st Gen (with scroll wheel) will not connect to iTunes 12.1 on MacBookPro.  Charging when I plug it in, want to add music to it, but iTunes will not recognize it.  Anyone have any suggestions or does anyone know if this iPod is no longer supported by iTunes?

    My ipod touch 4th generation is not recognized by itunes or my computer.
    It has a list of instructions as to how to fix it and I followed them until it said to load the driver for the device from a disk.
    I have no such disk nor do I know of one.
    My computer said the driver is present but there is a problem installing it.
    Does anyone know of what disk they are talking about?

    Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?

  • Ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount to iTunes

    My ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount on iTunes (using a Mac).  When plugged in, it appears on my desktop as if it were a jump drive.
    I was planning on re-formatting it with Disk Utility but I'm not sure if this is a good idea.  I also realised that the Format is listed as Windows NT File System (NTFS) when I have the disk utility window open.  If I need to format with Disk Utility, what format option should i choose? (i.e. Mac OS Exteneded (Journaled), Mac OS Extended etc.)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Now when I connect the Ipod to my Mac, it mounts as a Device on iTunes.  I want to sync only a few items from my library onto this iPod - when I attempt to do this (by either adding the specific music to the "music" section on the iPod or creating a playlist and using Autofill to fill the iPod), the iPod says that it has Synced but when I disconnect the iPod, there is no music on it.  Why?

  • 5th Gen iPod Touch w. iOS 7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1

    On Wednesday I updated my 5th gen iPod Touch to iOS 7, and ran the latest iTunes 11.1 update on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5.
    For two days, everything worked fine, but today, when I plug in my fully charged iPod it is not recognized by iTunes.
    Some salient facts:
         1. My iPod shuffle is recognized by iTunes without problem when I plug it in to any USB port on my Mac.
         2. I tried all of Apple's troubleshooting suggestions - restarted iPod and computer, tried connecting to different USB ports on my Mac.
         3. My iPod touch will still charge when plugged in to my Mac.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    I did try all of Apple's troubleshooting suggestions.  It was the cable - Thanks for the tip!
    It didn't occur to me to suspect that my still-new, Apple-brand cable went bad the same week Apple released two major software updates.

  • After installing 11.2.2.3 iPod Classc. is wiped/"dead" (not recognized by iTunes, Win7 find the unit in explorer) and my iPod Touch refuse to comm with iPod interface in the car. Just wait for a iTunes update?

    Hi,
    I installed 11.2.2.3 2 days ago and have since then not been able to sync my iPod Classic (not recognized by iTunes anymore and alll data has been wiped but show up in Win explorer when in Disk mode with my label on it "Nik's iPod") my old iPod Touch appear to have all data left but doesn't communicate with my car anymore.
    Nedless to say none of the other Apple devices in our house will be updated or connected until this is resolved.
    Is this related to the iTunes update?
    If so should I just wait for a new update to come out that can help me get these things sorted?
    I have tried most of the different remedies listed in this forum to no avail and being computer illiterate (not comepletely but anyway) I just want to know if this is a known problem that I can successfully fix with a bit of fiddling or if its time to seek out a genius bar somewhere and get some help.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for the help but I am unfortunately still not able to get my iPod Classic to connect. I have tried all the tricks in the article that you linked to.
    One thing is that when I reset the iPod (menu and center until the logo pops up) I get a critical error in iTunes and it shuts down. Could that indicate that my problem is with the iTunes installation rather than the iPod?
    I have tried to re-install iTunes before but maybe I shpuld give it  a go again?
    Brgds,
    Nik

  • Ipod in recovery mode is not recognized by itunes

    My Ipod has entered recovery mode, but it is not recognized by itunes.
    It has the recovery mode screen with the Itunes logo and all, but even when I disconnect it, shut it down, hold the home button and connect it again, Itunes won't recognize it (I have already tried with two different computers, PC and MAC).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • My iPod has quit; no lights, not recognized in iTunes or Computer

    Yesterday, my Shuffle (2nd generation) quit while i was running in a light mist/rain. It's done this before and i can wait 3-5 hours and it will play again. Now however, it will not play. No lights come up on it (Green, Orange or Red). It also is not recognized in iTunes or on my computer so i can Restore even if i wanted to. Any ideas?

    Looks like you've already done the first thing you shouldn't do in this case, namely to connect it to a power source UNTIL it's been allowed to dry.
    To dry it, put it in az plastic bag filled with uncooked rice. The rice will draw out the moisture. Let it sit in the bag for several days...
    IF you consider yourself adept with tools:

    and blow it dry with compressed air.

  • My IPOD Classic 160GB is now not recognized by iTunes and will not sync

    I have a 160GB IPOD Classic that now will not sync with iTunes. Both the iPod and iTunes have up to date software versions and I am connecting thru a MAcBook Pro running OS X 10.10.2. I have synced this iPod i the past with no problems and now it does not appear in the iTunes source list.
    I have tried the rest options that the Troubleshooting guide suggested and now at a loss for the next step.

    This is a problem caused by 10.10.2, only way to fix it at the moment is to revert to 10.10.1.
    Quite a few threads on it on other sites and only that one solution. Make sure you raise a feedback to apple though.
