Ipod automatically ejects whenever connected to pc

hi
i've recently purchased a new 5th gen ipod and had to update to latest version of itunes. whenever i connect the ipod to my computer it recognises it, but automatically ejects. i therefore can't get as far as accessing the ipod options in itunes.
any ideas on how to fix this?
j

thanks for the help guys. i did previously try the 5 r's (which didn't help) as well as changing the drive name (which i couldn't do because the drive was removing itself from My Computer before i could rename it). but i did fix the problem if anyone is interested. i dont know why it was doing all of this, but after i clicked "enable disk use" under the itunes/ipod preferences the drive ejected itself only after i told it to eject itself. which, obviously, fixed the problem.

My iPod automatically Ejects! :(

Hey guys,
When I go to sync my iPod, it looks as if its about to sync but it will automatically eject. If I keep trying iTunes will close.
I've uninstalled iTunes and then downloaded a new iTunes and installed that but get the same problem. I've restored the iPod as well.
Is there something else I can do?
Thanks

I recently had the same problem with my Ipod Classic 160gb, it turned out to be the cord so i just used a new cord and it fixed all my problems. Other suggestions are that your itunes is auto syncing and so your ipod doesnt see anything and ejects. I doubt this is the case because your ipod should be seen through itunes either way.
Hope this helped!
Thanks,

IPod immediately and automatically ejects when connected

This is driving me crazy! Every time I connect my Ipod Classic (160GB) to the USB port on my Windows 7 (64 bit) PC, it connects and then immediately ejects itself again. How can I stop it doing this? The consequence is that I can never see the Ipod in Windows or iTunes to do anything with it. All of the support instructions just have me going round in circles because they tell me to restore the ipod. However to do that you need to see it in itunes...except that I can't see it in itunes!

BUMP
exactly the the same my ipod connects then disconnects tried everything reinstalled operating system xp now have installed win7 still nothing.5r's nothing ,thing is my ipod works fine on other computers, works and sync's ! used to connect before itunes 9crap.
o yeah i also done support and email thing Nothing !

ITunes automatically ejects iPod

I'm new to iPod/iTunes and I'm really really disappointed. I payed US$ 300 for my Nano (it is more expensive here in Brazil) but it is not working, thanks to iTunes.
My USB drive is really working well - I must say it before you ask it.
The problem is that as soon as I connect my iPod to my computer, iTunes opens by itself (without my permission. I've already tried to change it but *the program doesn't accept my settings*). And when iTunes is completely loaded, it automatically ejects my iPod. This is REALLY annoying me.
I've been searching on the internet for two nights and it seems that nobody has a solution for that.
What should I do now?
PS: YES, I'm using the latest iTunes version, my Windows IS XP/SP2, I've already tried those 5R's thing.

I had already tried it and it didn't work, because, as I said, iTunes automatically ejects the iPod, so the changes that I try to make in its configurations are not accepted.

Suddenly iTunes does not open automatically when I connect Ipod

Hi,
iTunes used to open automatically when I connect my Ipod but now it does not although I did not change anything to my system.
In place of iTunes I now have the Windows 7 choice dialog in which iTunes does not appear.
How come?

Open iTunes when this iPod is connected: has always been checked
I thought you said there was no such option above?
and nothing else
Okay. Head to the Start menu and choose the *Control Panel* and when it comes up choose *Hardware and Sound* from the list of options. Next choose *Change default settings for media or devices*. Scroll down to the bottom where you will find an entry for Apple iPod. Go ahead and change its action to "Take no Action." Any luck there?
I'm not quite sure why iTunes isn't opening upon connection, but we'll see where we can take this. I would start with removing iTunes and re-installing again using these instructions.

My ipod crashes off whenever I want to connect to a private share. I have 4.3.3. What can I do?

My ipod crashes off whenever I want to connect to a private share. I have 4.3.3. What can I do?

- Regarding the apps you previously had installed, your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
- Otherwise, as you found out, there are not that many apps still compatible with 4.2.1. However,Safari, mail and music work like they originally did.

Ipod automatically turns on when headphones connected.

Please help! I have an Ipod 5th generation, 30 gb. When I plug my headphones into jack, my ipod automatically turns on. Also, I am not seeing the apple logo anymore, when I first turn on the ipod. It goes right back to the spot where I turned it off. I tried the five R's and it's still doing it! Thanks.

When you connect the headphones or slide the hold switch on or off the ipod will turn on.
You will only see an apple logo on you ipod if you bring it out of a deep sleep ( been off for more than a day) or while you are resetting the ipod.
Here are som good articles on the apple web site for learning more about the ipod.

My iPod automatically pauses the videos whenever I press play. How can I fix it?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all videos and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPod doesn't stay connected, it keeps ejecting and saying disconnected (4th gen iPod nano)

my iPod doesn't stay connected, it keeps ejecting and saying disconnected (4th gen iPod nano) and im trying to connect it to my new laptop to add music to it.

I had the same thing happen where the ipod would cycle between connected and ejecting and disconnecting, with the USB device icon appearing then disappearing is the application tray. I tried reinstalling iTunes, resetting the ipod, resetting the computer and tried it on another USB port then another computer and had the same thing happen. I was ready to take the ipod back to the store and thought I'd try it on my work laptop and it worked OK. The two previous computers were the same make and have 8 USB ports each, two on the front and 6 at the rear. I only tried the two front ports. After it worked on the work laptop I tried one of the rear USB ports on the original PC, which is a bit of a pain, but it worked. I ejected it and plugged it into one of the front USB ports again and I got the same cycling effect. Plugging back into the rear port and it was fine. I can only assume that some USB ports may be borderline with power requirements which the iPod is touchy on. I suggest if you experience this problem try the iPod on ALL your USB ports even if you have to move an existing USB device to another port.
I did read somewhere in the support area that an external USB hub that has its own power supply could help if the unit has issues recharging through a direct USB port so since this issue appears to be port related an external USB hub may be another solution. I personally haven't tried this but if all the direct ports on the PC exhibit this issue this may be a valid alternative outside of returning the unit. Hopefully someone may find this helpful.

How to set iPod to eject automatically after sync?

Hi!
My mother's iPod "ejects" automatically after syncing. Mine, I have to click the eject button. Mine is 8 GB hers is 4 GB, but both are third generation. How can I set it up to eject my iPod automatically after sync, like my mother's?
Thank you!

Do you have your 8 GB iPod set to Enable Disk Mode? If so, that would explain it since doing that requires you to manually eject the iPod.

My iPod 160gb ejects when i connect it

I have tried putting my iPod in disk mode, connect it to different USB ports and tried different nothing works.

If you put it into disk mode and connect it to your computer can you see it in Device Manager or My Computer?
