IPod 60GB mounts only once in iTunes

I didn't know if this is an iPod or iTunes topic, so this place one the coin toss. For some reason my brand new iPod 60GB with original 1.0 firmware and latest iTunes/QT will only mount in iTunes once per application load. If I want to do further updates with iTunes, I have to quit and reload it. Is this a problem with me or do others have similar issues?

anyone?

IPod Classic will only sync with iTunes 11.0.2.26 in disk mode - can you help?

Hello, I am running Windows 8 64 bit with iTunes 11.0.2.26. This is a new PC and this is the first time I have tried to use it with my iPod. My iPod classic does not show up in Windows or in iTunes. The only way I have been able to sync anything is in disk mode. When syncing in disk mode the iPod appears in Windows and then disappears again when it ihas finished.
I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, but this has not sorted out the problem. The iPod device troubleshooter can not see the device. I have tried several different usb slots and two different sync cables. I can not see the iPod in device manager.
My iPod model is MB565 version 2.0.1 PC.
I would like to be able to sync my device as normal and to see if there are any updates available for my iPod classic, which as iTunes currently can't see the device, is not possible.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks!

Well I finally figured out the problem, not thanks to anyone from Apple for that matter. You would asume this problem has happened before and is still happening. The problem was I couldn't copy certain songs anymore from iTunes to my iPod Classic. When trying to copy certain songs I got an error.
If you have this problem it means your song file is corrupted. You can simply check this by trying to copy it from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Here you will also get an error message.
This means you need to replace all the corrupted files by a back up on your hard drive or download it again. I did this and now everything works fine.
Hope this will solve a lot of problems.

Are downloaded items viewable only once on the iPod?

As a test, I purchased one TV video (School House Rock's "How a bill becomes a law") and successfully downloaded it onto my iPod.
However, after viewing it only once, the item is no longer listed on my iPod.
Are purchased items only viewable once? Do I have to purchase this again in order to see and hear it on my iPod? The item is listed in my Purchase Folder, but not on my iPod folder, or on the iPod itself.

I can't say I've ever seen this issue before where an iTunes store item suddenly disappears from the iPod after viewing only once.
I suppose you could purchase another item and see if the same thing happens, if they are stored in your iTunes library at least you can put them back on the iPod once again.
Do they transfer back to the iPod again? If not, it may be that for some reason the iPod or it's software has become corrupted. This doesn't mean that the item is not on your iPod (hence iTunes refusal to let you transfer it again), just that the iPod cannot read it.
There have been an awful lot of strange things going on over the last 12 months or so with purchased music and videos.
Have you been through the basic troubleshooting steps of The Five Rs?
Did you know that you can report a problem with any item you've bought?
In iTunes click on the store tab, then "view my account". From there you can report a problem with that video.

My ipod will only register with itunes after restarting my laptop, after that it just charges.

I just got a new Lenovo laptop. When I plug my ipod in, it only registers with iTunes right after the computer has been turned on or restarted. After that the ipod just charges. I can find the ipod listed when I go to my control panel and click on my devices and printers section. There is an exclamation point next to it and it says status: Driver error. I've tried installing a new driver but it says mine is up to date. When I click on the device and go into hardware I can find another spot that says device status and a message box. In the box it says:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)
The driver could not be loaded because a previous version of the driver is still in memory.
After I restart laptop the ipod is reconized by iTunes when I plug it in and I can update it. When I go to the device in the control panel I get none of the messages about driver error. However, as soon I disconnect the ipod it all happens the next time I connect it unless I have restarted the laptop.
What can I do to make my iTunes register my ipod whenever I plug it in, and not just when I restart?

Hi Carcasscar,
It sounds like you are experiencing an issue where your iPod is not being recognized by your computer. I have an article for you that contains some troubleshooting steps that will help you address this issue:

Specifically, you may want to first take a look at the sections about restarting your Apple Mobile Device Service and verifying that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device. I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy! Thanks for any help you can offer.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

2 ipods. 2 Users. 1 itunes

I have an iPhone and my sister has and iPod, but we only have 1 iTunes because we only have 1 computer. We both have different music but it's all in the same library and we've been seperating it by playlists. However, it's getting annoying because we can't organize our music the way we want to. Is there a way that iTunes can recognize that there's 2 different people with 2 different libraries?

Hi, My daughter has an ipod, but i cant get my itunes account to recognise the ipod on my home computer...? Help please.

Hi my daughter has an ipod touch and my computer does not recognise the ipod when it is connected. Help please.

You may be able to buy a program to do this - not supported by Apple.
the ipod is not a storage device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchaes.
The music should be on a computer as that is where they came from in the first place.

3G Clickwheel Ipod won't mount after update to ITunes 7.0

I recently updated to iTunes 7 and ever since my iPod won't mount. I can't see it on my desktop, and iTunes says the iPod is corrupt. I checked to make sure the Firewire port is working, and as far as I can tell, it is. I have tried to connect the iPod using both USB and Firewire, with the same result. I have also tried another Firewire cord, and that didn't work either.
I don't think the iPod is corrupt, because it was exactly after I updated to 7.0.1 that it stopped mounting. I thought 7.0.2 would resolve this issue, but it has not. The iPod works as it should when not connected to my computer.
I do NOT want to reload the iPod to factory settings, because over 1900 songs would be lost (my hard drive crashed last year, and this is the only place I have of many of these songs). This seems to be a known problem with the new version, but I don't know how to resolve it. Any suggestions?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have the identical problem with my Ipod & Imac. I haven't updated my Ipod for awhile, and although it works just fine independently, once I plug it into either my Imac or Ibook, the computer will not recognize it so I can't add new songs.The ipod doesn't show up in ITunes, in System Profiler, Disk Utility. I'm using Itunes 7.02 and judging from some other newsgroups I have read, there are many Ipod owners with this problem. I hope Apple gets it fixed soon.
Imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!

Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Genres duplicating on iPod only - not in iTunes!

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me why Genres are repeated on my iPod? For example, I only have one 'Blues' in iTunes but my iPod shows four - all with different no. of albums/artists!
Thanks
Colin

Try this thread:- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6062086 for an earlier discussion of this issue. There are a number of potential causes however making sure each album title is unique and appears only once seems to be the key to clearing things up. At a guess you're going to find the same album title has been used by more than one band, changing the titles, e.g. *Album, Artist*, should help. Reset & resync isn't likely to help as this is a fault/feature of the firmware.

When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise?

Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

Itunes opened only once, now won't open at all HELP

just bought an ipod 30g video, shuffle and installed itunes as per directions. had trouble from the get go. managed to open once, put some songs on ipods, shut down and haven't been able to open since. NO ERROR MESSAGES. help please....

some preliminary questions (i'm checking on the two most common causes of error message free launch failures).
do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?
