My ipod classic 80gb is not showing my music lists on my laptop

My ipod classic 80gb is not displaying my music lists on my laptop after logging in to itunes !!!!

Your "music list" in iTunes is in your iTunes library, not your iPod, so I don't understand what you are describing.
In iTunes, select Music under LIBRARY in the iTunes sidebar.
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
That is your list of songs in iTunes, and it is there whether your iPod is connected or not.
When you connect the iPod, it should appear under DEVICES in the sidebar. Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod name, to drop down the iPod's content list (indented below the iPod). Click on Music there. To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. That list is separate from your iTunes library music list.
Can you describe the problem in your problem in more detail?

IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

Ipod classic 80gb will not connect after update to itunes 7.5

I just updated to itunes 7.5 and i cannot get the device to sych anymore. it connects and then automatically ejects after I plug it in. I still have another computer with itunes 7.4 and i will use that until i get it fixed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes to no avail. I did get it to connect for a while last night, but today it just keeps ejecting. I had charged it fully last night before getting it to connect to the one w/ 7.5. Maybe it is going into this thing someone had where it is drawing too much power. Good God, this is my first apple, and for the life of me I will never buy another. What a bunch of crap. I never had any problems like this with my Creative Labs. Too bad I broke it.

I had the following situation: I`m running Vista on a Sony Laptop with iTunes 7.3 and a 60GB Ipod connected. Everthing works fine!
Than I bought a 80GB Ipod, updated to Itunes 7.5 - and nothing works! I have 42Gb music in my library.
I tried everything, spend some nights to get this thing running - nothing.
I´m "glad" to hear that I´m not the only one having problems.
But my question is: What is Apple doing? No comments in this forum, nothing on the website. What am I supposed to do now? Spending €250 and waiting for the day it will work? Doesn´t Apple now that there are not alone any more? That there are competitors? I´m really angry!

Ipod Classic 160 GB not Recognized by Itunes

Itunes does not recognize my Classic Ipod 160 GB. I have tried all the suggestions offered by apple. Any advice?

I had the same problem with my iPod classic 80 GB. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support this morning. It is interesting that I could still sync my iPhone and an older iPod, just not the Classic - so I suspected either a hardware or Mac software issue. The solution (I think) is that the permission in OS X for the device is not recognized. After restoring my iPod to factory settings, and completely deleting and reloading a new copy of iTunes, I am now able to get my Mac to recognize this iPod. Following the instructions found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8342.html
I was able to add permission for the "administrator" to have read and write privileges on this device. That seems to have solved the problem. Thanks to Ryan at Apple Expert for the troubleshooting. Good luck!

IPod classic 5th is not recognized by operating systems or iTunes

I have an iPod Classic 5th generation A1136 (80g with video). Recently, right around the time of the new iTunes release, my iPod is no longer recognized by my Mac (in disk mode) or in iTunes (in any mode). It still charges when connected to my computer. It plays music (and video) in all of my docking stations. It isn't recognized by the machine. I have tried iTunes on other machines. I have tried the 5 R's. I have put it in disk mode. I have reset the iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes on my Mac. Every solution i have read about, I have pretty much tried. Could this be a hardware issue? If so, what sort of issue would produce these symptoms.

You have a 4th gen Ipod. First reset the ipod , then put it in disk mode. then plug it back into computer. That second icon of the folder means it can't find an OS. You might have to take it apart to see if you have the hard drive seated correctly and the hard drive ribbon. If none of this works, uplug and restart it, hold you ear to it and listen to see if you hear a clicking or buzzing sound. If you do the hard drive is bad. To do a reset -toggle the hold switch on the end by the screen then press and hold the center button and the menue button at the same time-then as soon as the apple comes up - press and hold the center button and the botton of the click wheel, disk mode should come up. Plug back in and see if it comes up in itunes do a restore. The bottom of the click wheel is play- pause. It's also what you hold to shut it down.

Ipod classic latest version not recognized in itunes also downloaded 400 plus songs, can play them in itunes but can not download on to ipod any idears /

latest 6th gen 160 gb ipod not recognized in itunes, have done all the checks, has been confirmed in itunes sync, Also down loaded 470 new songs into itunes,Can play them,but can not down load back into my ipod, any thoughts? Question,

See my answer under "iPod 160GB not recognized". The steps I took to fix this problem include completely uninstalling and then re-installing iTunes 9.0.2, restoring my iPod to factory settings while in disk mode, following the Apple instructions of repairing the permissions (outlined in my other post), and even after all that my iPod "crashes" after syncing more than 300 or so songs. I hope that Apple will come out with a real fix for this problem soon. Best of luck.

Help!!!!! my ipod classic 80gb is not showing neither in itunes nor my computer

Before i used my ipod with disk utility to launch snow leopard, but now i dont have the mac and i need to use it with windows helppppp.
what do i do with the ipod to show?

Try putting your iPod into Disk Mode before you connect it to the computer. This should allow your computer to at least recognize it. Just restart yoiur iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons, then when the screen goes out hold down Play and select. Once it says "OK To Disconnect" hook it up and see if that works.

Ipod classic 160 usb not recognized

Ipod Classic 160 (not recognized by computer) and under Ipod Diagonistics (no Ipod found). I have two other Ipods which I-Tunes and my computer recognizes. I have reset Ipod to no avail. Because I am unable to connect to I-Tunes with the Ipod I am unable to restore or reset. I have watched all the YouTube videos and followed each. One thing that is strange is it will not test or disconnect from disk mode. I really enjoyed this I pod and hope one of you can resolve this problem for me. Thanks

Howdy spacecraft24,

IPod Classic 80gb - "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time"

Hi,
Having trauled the Internet this evening, it appears i'm not the only person having this problem. This afternoon I updated my iPod and downloaded the latest software update. Since then, my iPod has not worked, it wont switch on, it wont reset and when I connect it to my laptop, iTunes displays the "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time". Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have tried downloading version 1.03 and putting that in the Apple software updates folder, as suggested in another thread on here but that does not work. I have tried to reset it whilst plugged into my in car charger, this doesnt seem to work either. As this seems to be a common fault, there must be a way of sorting it?
Cheers!
Sean

My 80Gb iPod Classic died a few days ago, shortly after installing the latest iTunes update, syncing it and then plugging into my integrated iPod kit in the car. I could not get the iPod to switch on after this and it would not appear in Windows explorer or iTunes (although I did get the rather unhelpful "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time" message). I tried various suggestions from the web but to no avail.
I've managed to resolve the problem by uninstalling version 7.6.1.9 and all associated apps (iTunes, Safari, Quicktime and anything called Apple xxx in Add/Remove Programs). Then I downloaded and installed the previous version of iTunes 7.6.0.29 (you can get this from http://filehippo.com/download_itunes/3694/) and this seemed to sort the problem.
Needless to say, I won't be updating my iTunes version for some time!

IPod Classic 120GB is not recognized by computer even after hard reset

I have an iPod Classic and it recently would act like it was playing music but was not in reality. I ended up having to hard reset the iPod. Now that it has been reset it will not sync with my computer. I hook it up and the screen reads +do not disconnect+ my iTunes will not recognize that there is an iPod connected and when I open My Computer it often freezes or tells me that I need to reformat the iPod for it to be recoginzed by Windows. I do not have the option to format it to FAT 32 though. What do I do??

This is my iPOD
iPod (touch wheel)
All iPod (touch wheel) models have a FireWire port cover. Scroll wheel models don't, and dock connector models don't have a FireWire port. The iPod (touch wheel) model controls look similar to the iPod (scroll wheel) but the touch wheel itself does not turn. iPod (touch wheel) models are considered second generation iPod models. The top of an iPod (touch wheel) model is shown here:
I went into the link and looked at the 5 R's. Nothing there. I couldn't restore the iPod if I wanted considering I would need to connect my iPod to the Computer which I cannot do.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode - did not work - I tried the click wheel instructions, but it did nothing at all....it was totally unresponsive. then I went and did the *If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel* instructions get to the fourth step where it says
*When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.*
but the Disk Mode screen does not appear. It goes straight to ""ok to disconnect"
Is there something else going on or something trivial that I could be doing that could be messing up these instructions?

I have inherited an IPod classic 80gb which has music and photos on that I would like to save to my computer then delete from Ipod.

I cannot sync ipod with my computer - I have no disc or any instructions. Can you help me

Any content stored the iPod belongs to the former owner and cannot be transferrred.
If you can restore to factory settings, you can then purchase iTunes media and sync your own photos.

I don't know what's up with the translation window thing appearing. Anyway...
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
