IPod Classic 80Gb, wont show up in iTunes 8, but does in Finder
Just plugged my iPod classic 80Gb in and it wont show in iTunes 8, although it shows up in Finder
Tried a iPod reset. restarted my Mac but no good.
Come on man I need to do a sync....
I have a similar problem.
This morning, all music was gone from my iPod, just like that. I had been having troubles with playing a couple of songs last night if that's connected. Anyway, I connect it to my Macbook. I try to reset it through iTunes and that was done, I pressed eject and ejected it when it said OK to disconnect -- although when I did so it said it wasn't ejected properly. Now when I connect it appears in Finder as a device (like that thingy that appears when you install stuff, a white thing) but it doesn't in iTunes. In fact, as soon as I plug it in iTunes freezes and I can't open it or do anything in there, the marker just shows that it's loading.
What do I do?

How come my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer or itunes
can anyone tell me why my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer anywhere
Hi lllaass,
Do you know of any solutions to restore my ipod touch generation 1 or 2 I think. Itunes says it cannot restore and now it won't work? Do I have to go to an apple store or do you have any advise?
Thanks! -
i have ipod classic,80gb,i cant restorit via itunes and when i click restore i see the error1439 plz help me.is there any software to reset it
Hello adifromba
Try putting your iPod Classic into Disk Mode to force a restore within iTunes to get it to show up. The steps to do that are within the first article below, I have also provided a second article for further troubleshooting if it continues to not show up.

hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
Many thankssame thing here

IPOD Classic won't show up in Itunes 9.0.2.25
Hello, Hopefully someone here can help me. I upgraded from Itunes 7.6 to 9.02.25. It looked like it loaded fine, I downloaded music to the library, but when I plugged my IPOD in, it dings, says "connecting" on the IPOD screen, but never shows up in ITUNES. It does list under my computer, for about 3 seconds, before it says "ejecting" and disconnects itself. I have tried everything at this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363 - twice - including doing a full recovery on my computer. I tried switching the usb cable and port, I've rebooted the ipod several times - and in disk mode 2x, I also tried the troubleshooting here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493. Basically, I've deleted itunes about 20 times and reloaded. I finally thought, screw it and tried to load 7.6 back (i have it on disc, as I live in a rural area and couldn't freaking download it a couple years ago) but i just get an error that I can't download the 7.6 version as I have a newer library. BTW, Apple support basically said, Yep. sounds like a problem. Never heard of that before. What the heck is left to do?
Solved it. In my case, I had used a utility program I found in my Utilities folder called iPod Software Updater that I tried to updated the iPod software with... (it looked like it worked and then I used the restore function, which deleted all the music)...but it would still not appear in iTunes. Finally after a few hours of resets and restarts, I pressed the select and play keys for 6 secs and triggered a reset while I had the iPod plugged into the computer. Bingo...it showed up in iTunes and prompted me to download new software...which I did and now its back. Geez Apple, how did the iPod become such a killer product with an interface like this? So I assume this utility was for a different iPod model or older version OS.

IPod Classic will not show up in iTunes
Okay. I'm sure this has been posted somewhere before, but I don't have time to surf through all those posts, so here's my problem. I had an old MacBook with an iTunes account and my iPod Classic would sync up to it just fine. Now I am using someone else's iMac and my iPod will not show up in iTunes. The iMac recognizes my iPod; the icon for it will show up on the desktop. iTunes also somehow recognizes my iPod, because when I hook it to the usb, iTunes automatically opens up. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it (twice) via the steps you get from Apple support. I've also tried misc. other tips apple gives you, and to no avail. I'm tired of trying the same old thing- nothing ever works!! Any suggestions???? Thanks!

IPod Classis 80GB not showing up in iTunes 9
I bought an iPod Classic about a year and a half ago and was not able to use it due to issues with my computer. a couple weeks ago, I got a new computer equipped with windows 7 and reinstalled iTunes on it and re-imported all my music back. no problem.
however, i recently tried to sync all my music onto my iPod classic which i bought a little over a year ago, and the device is not showing up in my iTunes whatsoever. I have tried restarting the computer, connecting the iPod to my computer a thousand times and it is still not working. When i connect it to the computer, a message comes up on my iPod saying "connected: eject before disconnecting" but nothing happens. i have a 64-bit version of iTunes installer, and have the latest updated version of iTunes.
i have tried almost everything and i cannot figure out why it is not showing up as a device in iTunes.
what can i do?same thing here

HELP!! iPod Classic won't show up in iTunes, and FREEZES when I try
Last night, I hooked my iPod Classic to my computer to sync it. It didn't show up in iTunes, and instead, it froze, quite suddenly. I had to wait until the battery ran down, then charge it up again(luckily, all my music and video were still present). Today, I tried once again to hook it up. This time, the "Connected/Eject before disconnecting" screen appeared, so I figured it was working(that didnn't happen last night, it just froze immediatly). Unfortunately, I was wrong. It still hasn't shown up in iTunes, and now, it's frozen again!

In order to see the post link, you need to drill down to the subtopic level of a discussion area. If you see a list of subtopics, you are not down far enough.
For example, from the main discussion menu, you can choose Classic iPod and you will see the following...
Note that in the Classic discussion there are three sub-topics you can choose and NO post link yet. Now pick any sub-topic, for example, pick "Using iPod Classic" and you will get the following...
Now you have a link to post a new topic.

Ummm....ok, thanks for answering the completely irrelevant question that someone else asked, but how about dealing with the actual topic of this thread?!
Seriously, why did my iPod Classic freeze when I tried to hook it up??? It happened twice. It seems to be working now, but still, I'm concerned. -
Please help? ipod classic doesn't show up in itunes or the finder.
I can't sync my ipod classic to itunes on my macbook. I have the updated version of itunes and tried the trouble shooting steps apple suggests, but problem is not resolved. My ipod doesn't show in itunes or the finder so I can't do anything. Please help with suggestions??
Have you tried using a different cable? Does it connect to any other computers and/or iTunes libraries?
Is it powered on when you connect it?

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"

HELP! New iPod Classic 80GB Recognized By Computer, Not iTunes
I have a brand new ipod classic, and it refuses to be recognized by itunes so i can install it. The "install new hardware" wizard pops up instead and it thinks it is a USB Mass Storage Device. I've tried everything on the apple support page.
PS I am aware that this sort of question probably has been answered before. I am new to this board haven't found the information i need. thanks for the help!Hi,
I'd been really frustrated with ITunes not recognizing my IPod after failed attempts at using the "5Rs" to resove the issue. I just wanted you guys to know that I found a resolution posted under http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372 and after following the instructions, I "forced" ITunes to recognize the Pod and it is right now, as we speak, syncing my entire library back to the IPod! THANK YOU to whomever posted this solution! I was so lost without my IPod and was about to go on a trip without it! Whew! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
IPod classic doesn't show up in iTunes.
Dear All: Having problems with my iPod. I tried all of the iTunes diagnostics recommended. Have executed soft resets..but not a complete restore. Any ideas or other steps to follow?
thanks,
ampHave you tried Resetting your iPod while it's connected to the Mac? That usually works for me when it fails to show up first time. Toggle the hold switch off and on a few times then hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear.
