IPod 6th Gen won't restore on Win7 but will on Win8

I bought a 6th generation 80GB iPod classic from eBay. I've tried everything to get it to connect and sync using iTunes but it's nothing but issues. It will initially connect and tell me it's corrupted but I get either a 1415 or 1439 error. I've been through all of that troubleshooting multiple times as well as the 5Rs with no success. I've run chkdsk /r and performed a low level format, restarted, and tried to restore but still nothing. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite. I have access to 2 other laptops: a Lenovo, also running 64-bit Windows 7 and a newer model Toshiba Satellite running 32-bit Windows 8. The Lenovo gives me the exact same issues but the Satellite running Win8 does not. I am able to connect, restore and sync with no issues. I haven't been able to find a similar situation through all of my Google searches. Does anyone know what could possibly be the issue with my (Win7) laptop? Some setting or missing files/update?

appreciate your response - just tried this approach. cycled to apple sign, so I plugged into usb cord, immediately went to that **** do not disconnect warning - will let it set for a while to see what materializes.
Couple questions - out of curesicity (sp) -
1) when you plugged in did the system reconize your ipod? I thought there was a spot between store and playlists that ID's the devce - i see nothing. use to say the name I had set for my iPod
2) did you ever have to go thru restore?
3) did you have to pull down your playlists from your library to sync - I can not get to the "sync Ipod" selection
I have wiped all apples files and restarted from scratch - still no luck.
again thanks,
Fristrated Mike

  • My nano 6th gen won't restore

    my nano 6th gen won't restore keeps asking me to restore.
    any ideas what i can do to break this cycle?

    Are you using the latest version of iTunes and have all the latest Windows updates and patches installed?  It might not hurt to try plugging the iPod into a different USB port, preferably a high powered 2.0 one on the back of your PC.

  • IPod 3rd gen won't restore

    I have a 3rd gen iPod shuffle I bought a month ago. It's been working great until one day I went to listen to it and it told me to "Please restore iPod on iTunes." I did so, got all my songs back onto the iPod and went to eject it. When I hit eject using iTunes, it tells me that "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." It won't let me restore it either for the same reason. When I eject the iPod from my Finder it ejects fine. However, when I plug my headphones in and turn it on, I can't get any music to play. Please help?!

    Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting.  If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
    Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
    Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
    In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

  • My iPod 4th Gen won't restore?

    It's stuck in recovery mode and it won't connect to iTunes when I plug it into my laptop, and when it did, I waited for half an hour for it to update, then it came up with an error. I had to update to a different version and it wouldn't do it actually on the iPod, my iTunes is the latest version, too. What can I do?

    Then I can't help, There are many different error messages and different solutions for each

  • The terrible "RED X" has shown up, and my iPod 6th gen. won't go into disk mode. Tried slamming it against a table, but that doesn't work. What do I do?

    I've had this thing for a long time and it started having the "go to support page on the apple website" red x on the screen. I can't restore it to Disk Mode because it won't let me. I've tried slamming against a table like some people have recommended and I can hear it trying to work on the inside but not totally, and nothing has changed. What do I do?

    There isn't much else you can do other than have the iPod's Hard Drive replaced. Apple can exchange your iPod for a refurbished one of the same generation and capacity or you can send it to a third party service center to have them actually put in a new HD for a little less.

  • Ipod 6th Generation won't sync with Itunes but is being recognised as a device on windows

    Recently had to get my laptop set back to factory reset. I have reinstalled Itunes and uploaded my music back on Itunes but my Ipod wont sync. The Ipod itself is saying that it’s connected and my laptop is recognising it as a device and saying that it is working correctly. I’ve reset the Ipod and had a look at the firewall on my computer (Windows and the free Avast software) but everything seems to be working correctly. Anyone have any ideas? 

    do you ever unplug your iPod without ejecting it first?

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

    iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
    This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
    Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What solved my problem:
    I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
    Additional details:
    I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.

  • Ipod 6th gen not showing any music after successful sync

    Hi all,
    My ipod 6th gen has just started doing something odd.
    When I plugged it in it said it couldnt be read and I had to restore it.
    I did this, but now when I sync'd all my music back to the ipod, it seems to work, but when I unplug the nano and try to play some music there is nothing available to play.
    Any ideas?
    I have the latest version of itunes, and the ios on the iPod is up to date.
    The Sync seems to work, and in itunes you can see that there is music on the ipod. But the ipod itself shows nothing available to be played.
    Pls help!!!!!

  • My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

  • Can you watch films on the iPod 6th gen?

    Can you watch films on the iPod 6th gen?

    Hello,
    Unfortunetaly you are unable to watch any sort of movie, video, or film on the 6th Generation iPod Nano.  This is simply because the screen is too small.  The 4th, 5th, and 7th Generation can however watch videos. 
    Hope this helps,

  • Just updated ipod touch to ios6 ipod crashed and won't restore

    just updated ipod touch to ios 6. ipod crashed and won't restore just flashing screen black to white help

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod 6th gen not working

    Hi there, I bought an ipod 6th gen just over a year ago, while using it, I noticed the screen get grainy just before my battery went low.  Now the screen is black and wont charge.  I am wondering if it is the battery or the ipod itself.  I never dropped the ipod or abused it anyway, I dont really want to buy another one, if this is going to happen, has anyone else had this happen, or know what the problem is?

    - Have you tried when connected to other networks?  Maybe the router is blocking the ports used by Safari and the other apps.
    - What kind of network are you using? a personel or bussines?

  • Audio stuttering in podcast app, IPod 6th gen.

    Audio stuttering in podcast app, IPod 6th gen. I don't know what triggers it, other audio is fine- only podcasts. Set on 1x speed. Affects all podcasts (not a media problem).
    I can't see any setting that could be affecting it.

    Just tried that and did not work. Also I do understand and have made podcast lists in the app. The problem for me is that when done with the podcasts I can't just reach down and get my Ipod unless my truck is not moving. Think safety of everyone on the roads.
