IPod Classic 80 GB doesn't keep mounted after 10.5.4 release

Hello,
I am having problems with syncing my iPod Classic 80 GB after Mac OS X 10.5.4 release.
When I connect my iPod with USB wire iTunes regocnizes this and starts syncing. After minute or so connection brokes and I get error saying device was not unplugged correctly and files might get damaged. I don't see my iPod mounted to desktop anymore after this happens.
I don't know what I could do because nothing like this ever happened before and only change in setup I can think of is upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5.4.
My iTunes is 7.6.2 and iPod Classic 80 GB is 1.1.2.
Is Mac OS X 10.5.4 causing this problem?
Thanks for any help.

I have no issues running latest update and iPod.
Have you checked the cable and connections? Do you have another cable to try with to be sure?

I am confused. Is there currently a way to transfer 160 gig ipod Classic music to another computer of mine after my hard drive crashed? it has old limited library already on it?

My iPod Classic won't sync--I keep getting error messages.

I have an iPod Classic (Late 2009) that's about a year and a half old. It just started refusing to sync with iTunes. I have a PC, and when I plug the iPod in, the computer wants to scan and fix the iPod. Whether I let it or not--I've done it both ways, multiple times--when I open iTunes, iTunes says I need to restore my iPod. It restores without glitching. But when I try to re-sync my library, I get 200-400 songs in and get an error message that a specific song can't be synced because of "error [numerical error]." I've seen "Error -50" a lot, but not always. It doesn't always get stuck on the same song, artist, or album--just somewhere in the B's, something goes wrong. At the beginning, I was seeing a "duplicate file" error message, but I haven't seen it the last 5-7 times I've gone through the restore-resync process.
I've tried manually managing the content, but the same thing happens. If it doesn't get stuck on a song, it'll say "Finishing Sync" for ages--until I have to force-quit iTunes and manually eject the iPod.
I have reinstalled iTunes--not 100%, but using their "find and replace faulty parts" option. I have an iPhone, and it syncs with no problem, and I my iTunes library itself is functioning totally normally. However, iTunes freezes a lot when I'm trying to fix this problem with my iPod, including when I first plug it in. I've had to force-quit iTunes multiple times because of this.
This all started because my iPod was skipping from about 10 seconds into one song to the next in the playlist. I figured something was wonky with the last sync, so I went to restore my iPod. When I plugged it in, I noticed that there was a software update, so I did that--I can't remember if I restored, then did the update, or the other way around. But nothing has worked since then.
It must be a problem with the iPod itself that the restore just isn't erasing, but I'm not sure where that leaves me. Help?

This could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

I have plenty of space on my iPod classic yet it doesn't sync all my songs. I have the setting to 'sync entire library', but out of 1019, on 993 sync. Why is that?

I just got my iPod Classic in the mail and I have the newest version of iTunes on my PC. However, I have 1019 songs and only 993 of them sync to the iPod. I noticed when I searched for a song I recently bought and it wasn' there. I know there is a lot a space, so I don't understand. Is it a defect? Can I fix it? Please Help!

Thanks but I solved the problem...it was really simple. Out of 160GB I had only used 34GB, so I knew I had space. What happened was in the process of downloading songs I also downloaded a few episodes of United States of Tara, which was taking a long time to download so even though it said I had 1019 songs the 26 undownloaded were on iCloud, not on my computer. So I paused the downloading of my episodes so my songs could finish downloading. Now my iPod and computer are in sync.
I don't know how this works so I'll give the points anyway, for being the only one who attempted to solve my problem.

IPod Classic 160 GB doesn't work for audiobooks in BMW X3 F25

Hello
I have been owning a 160 GB iPod classic for a while now. I have newly acquired a BMW X3 (2012 Model, F25). The problem is that when listening to audiobooks, the iPod doubles or triples the speed (and pitch) when I return to the car after having parked. So it runs fine at first, then I stop and park the car and return and then it sounds like Donald Duck is reading to me ;-)
The car comes with the USB interface to which once can connect media players like the iPod. I am using the original BMW "Y-shape" cable that has once connection on the iPod that then splits into an USB and a 3.5mm jack. I also tried cables from Belkin and the cable that came with the iPod, but all to no avail.
It is not the Audiobook faster/slower function of the ipod that is activated because that would not change pitch, it's like "the record is turning too fast", you can see the seconds in the car's display movig much faster than at a second's pace. The iPod subsequently retains this increased speed even if not connected to the car anymore and can only be slowed down again by resetting it.
I onw an older iPod photo 80 GB which does not exhibit this behavior.
The iPod classic 160 is at the latest software level and so is the car.
Any ideas?
Regards
Chris

My iPod Classic 2nd Generation doesn't sync with iTunes

Hi, I bought a powermac G5 to sync my ipod classic 2nd generation, 20gb (from 2002) over firewire, however when I plug the ipod in, it charges but iTunes does not pick it up. The iPod charges, and works fine. When I got onto 'about this mac' and then firewire devices it says it is unable to list firewire devices (in red writing -error?). Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks

Do one of the following:
> Restart your computer
> Restore your iPod
> Uninstall & reinstall iTunes
> Check on my computer (windows XP) OR computer (windows vista & 7) and see if your iPod shows on there (Windows Only)
I'm not a Mac user so I'm not completely sure if this gonna help.

My iPod Classic 80Gb won't sync with iTunes after "Restoring" to factory settings

My iPod Classic is probably about 8 years old, or maybe a little more and has never before given serious problems. Until I recently "restored" the device, the hard drive had about 40Gb of music and podcasts stored on it but no photos or videos.
The device recently just "died" completely and without warning - just a blank screen with no response from any of the controls. I rebooted it using the "Menu" and "Select" buttons and it came back to life. However as it had recently been displaying some other small issues like having to be manually ejected every time after syncing, instead of automatically saying "it is now safe to disconnect" as it always used to, I thought I'd restore it to its original factory settings and then reload my catalogue. Big mistake!
Now when I connect the device, it won't automatically sync as it always used to; and when I try to manually sync it either from the "Sync" button at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes screen or by right-clicking on the device's icon in iTunes and selecting the "sync" option, the iTunes banner simply states "iPod sync is complete" and "Eject before disconnecting" with no data being loaded.
My computer is a Windows 7 PC running the latest version of iTunes (11.3.1.2) and the iPod device software is up to date (version 1.1.2). <my windows updates are carried out automatically. I have worked my way through the iTunes diagnostics pages, but to no avail.
Any assistance in resolving this issue would be much appreciated.

You would have to update you Mac os.
It is clear:
System requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later, and iTunes 10 or later4
PC with USB 2.0 port; Windows 7, Vista, or XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later; and iTunes 10 or later4
Internet access required; broadband recommended; fees may apply"

Ipod classic hard drive coming back saying error after a diagnostics test

i recently done my disk check on my ipod classic hard drive and it flashed up error instead of the numbers people normally get when doing this. does this mean the hard drive is finished. it was letting me sync 200 songs out of 9000 i have but no more.

My ipod classic will not sync my content, even after several hours.

My ipod classic will not sync content, even after several hours. I have restored the ipod, got a new dock connenctor, manually synced a few songs. This is frustrating. I am considering sending the ipod for service. What do I do?

How is your iPod configured to sync TV Shows? What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's TV Shows configuration tab in iTunes?
No error messsages when you sync your Classic with iTunes? Try resetting all warnings with the device by right->clicking on it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset warnings. Then resync your device to see if any errors appears.

My Ipod classic says its syncing but restarts itself after disconnect what's going on?

I have a second generation Ipod Classic. When i connect it to my computer to sync to Itunes it says its syncing then proceeds to go through "steps" to find which songs need to be synced; syncs them then takes forever to connect then allow me to eject. When I correctly eject the ipod from the USB, the Ipod device basically restarts itself and does not have any of the new music on it. I have tried a force restart and it's still acting this way. Any input before I throw in the towel and opt to buy a new device?

Ipod classic 5th generation doesn't appear on Itunes

When i connect my iPod to my computer it doesn't appear in my iTunes. I tried using disk mode and that doesn't work. I tried using developer mode and that didn't work. I re-install iTunes a few times and that didn't work. When I disconnected my iPod there was a notification and it said "USB device not recognized."
When I connect my iPod to my computer I realized that it didn't have that screen (Do not disconnect) but my iPod does is charge my phone.
Please help me!

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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS1372 I'm trying to restore my iPod Classic but it doesn't - some error # 1433

Hello there!
I'm trying to restore my iPod for several days now, but it dosn't restore. A message stating that the iPod was corrupted appears every time I'm able to connect to iTunes (thats another problem; is not recognizing such devices on iTunes and unable the program to function well or work at all) and once "restore" and able to choose music, movies, and everything else, suddenly there is nothing and remains on the restore condition. Can someone help? Another message while restoring saids that there is an error 1433. Does anyone knows about this error?
Thanks a lot!

The Restore fails due to a timeout, most likely a hardisk problem
Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Ipod Classic will no longer play video podcasts after upgrade to iTunes 10.

I have a 120GB Classic. I used to be able to play video podcasts just fine. Since upgrading to iTunes 10.0 in September I can see Podcasts with a little video symbol next to them on the iPod, but when I click on them the screen goes black for a couple of seconds, then flips back to the menu. If I copy the Podcast to a playlist, I get audio but no video, as always. The video podcast plays fine on the PC. I've tried "converting to iPod or iPhone version" with no success. I've Googled this problem and found many others with this issue, none with their question answered. Does anyone know if this is an issue acknowledged by Apple, and if so, do they plan to fix it? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Thanks.

am having the same problem with hannah montana episodes, anyone have a solution? apple?

IPod Classic 80 songs stay grey in iTunes after synching

After my computer bluescreened, I started up iTunes and iPod again, but everything had gone, including all my playlists. I re-loaded iTunes from my back-ups and wanted to re-load my iPod from there. As synching seemed the quickest way, I chose that (still took 8 hours mind you). I kept getting message that iPod couldn't be read, but after I started synching each time, eventually my whole library was in my iPod again. Only... the songs stay "grey" in the iPod menu. iPod itself plays fine, but as soon as I connect it to iTunes, I can't do anything with the songs. I tried to switch of sync mode, but then it threatens to remove all songs. I also updated iTunes, but that didn't help. Help me out of this crap please

Hello Maart1312,
The songs are grayed out in iTunes because your iPod is set up to automatically sync content from your iTunes library. If you wish to change this, you will have to enable the "manually manage music and videos" option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes as I believe you mentioned above. However, this is the only way to make this change so you can mess with songs directly from your iPod's song menu.
