IPod classic crashing iTunes

I just updated to iTunes 9 - the first time I plugged in with my iPod classic (120GB) I got a "Verifying Tom's iPod" message in the marquis, then the rainbow spinning wheel of death. On Force Quit window, iTunes reported as not responding. I had to force quit then eject. Did this a few times, then on the 3rd try I just let it be longer than the 2 minutes I had allowed and eventually (3-4 min) it was recognized and sync'ed fine.

*Just be patient!*
I called Apple after my upgrade to 9.2 caused itunes to freeze up when connecting a ipod classic. Apple informed me to just wait! That after 10 minutes or so it would unfreeze and sync. So I did and then restored ipod classic and it worked. BS, but who am I to complain, my 25,000 songs where synced good to go. But APPLE FIX THIS PLEASE. Like everyone else is saying if you update software and then your ipod crashes and is not under warranty THATS BS. What would stop Apple from releasing software updates that crash old, outdated products forcing your hand to purchase a new one? And dont give me that stuff about Apple is the good guy! They had the F.B.I. raid that Gizmodo.com guys house.

  • Ipod Classic with Itunes 12.1 - Warning

    First off,
    Known issues - immediately after 12 dropped, pretty much all functionality involving Ipod classics was broken. Mac OS recieved a patch that fixed this, Windows has not, and there has been no addressing this issue thus far.
    My stuff: Ipod class 120gb 8 years old, windows 7 64bit gaming rig, windows 7 64bit laptop. Gaming rig has been updated to 12.1, laptop was kept in version 11.
    The problems: Most common - Ipod will disconnect seconds after being plugged in, leaving no chance to do any diagnosing whatsoever.
                          Less common - Ipod will show up and be interactable in Itunes, click Sync and get stuck in a never ending loop, stuck on song 1 of X forever, I left it doing that overnight - a good 16 hours - just in case, click restore and get an error 1439 (or similar number, basically same error) Ipod cannot be restored
                          Least common -  upon clicking "restore Ipod" the computer will blue screen, complete system crash resulting in a system recovery or total loss of data
    The fix(for me anyway) - use itunes 11 - Thankfully I had an old laptop that still had version 11.something installed on it, I was able to transfer my non-itunes store music to it and everything is just peachy
    I reiterate - These are known issues, I have found dozens of forum posts on various websites complaining about just how fantastically broken the itunes 12 update has been, and many people have resorted to downgrading back to 11, a not-so-broken version. But here's the kicker - Itunes version 11.0.0.163 has NUMEROUS problems that result in either failed installation or instant crashes whenever you try to launch it, or if you're lucky just crashes whenever you try and access the Itunes store through it. Good luck trying to find someone to help you with installing these old versions if you run into one of these problems.
    If you have an Ipod classic and a windows 7 computer DO NOT update to Itunes 12, it will not work, and most support operators will run you through hours of diagnostics just to prove that your ipods hard drive isn't crapping out from age.

    Thank you Bka131! I have exactly the same problem (your most common: appears, then disappearing). I already spent DAYS to try, remove iTunes, drivers, re-intall, uninstall any competitor SW that is able to sync music...
    Today, I tried with the latest iTunes just issued (12.1.0.71) and still the same issue: my iPod classic appears for 1 sec in iTunes, then disapear...
    This is incredible. Do you know if some people ARE able to sync their iPod Classic with iTunes 12.x? Or do Apple wants to kick out all the "old" iPod Classic and force us to buy new iPxx? I can not believe they could not fix such big bug more quickly ...I did not find any official announcement from Apple that this is a known but unsolved bug ... Very strange as this seems to touch many users…
    Do you have a safe place where I can download iTunes 11.xxx?

  • IPod Nano crashes iTunes

    Hi, every time we time we connect my daughter's 4th generation iPod Nano it crashes iTunes. The iPod is just a year old. It has worked fine until a week ago. iTunes runs fine on its own.
    We also sync an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and the new Nano. We do not have a problem with these.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is causing the problem with the 4th Gen Nano?

    I am really upset. I have an ipod classic 2 years old. I plugged in my ipod into the computer to create a new playlist. I started adding music to my list and after a few minutes and then itunes crashed. I closed the program and tried again. started ok then crashed again. I tried to close the program and it finally closed and totally erased my ipod 10,600+ songs GONE! Now most of those songs cannot be easily replaced. I am a music teacher and use it everyday to do my job. Now I am stuck redoing it. After restoring the original settings and a disk check, my ipod still crashes itunes. Even before it did this. I would randomly get songs that just would not play that would before. What do I do now. I am really mad!

  • Transferring songs from a Windows-formatted iPod classic to iTunes on Mac

    Hi everybody, I'm curious to see if this is even possible. My husband's Windows laptop died for the second time in three years, so he decided to switch to a Mac after seeing my MacBook last longer than both of his Windows laptops. :o) Anyway, now that the Windows hard drive is dead-and no, he didn't back up his songs to CD-he wants to transfer the songs on his Windows-formatted iPod Classic to iTunes on his Mac. I tried Yamipod, but it said "firmware unsupported" and quit-I suspect the Windows format had something to do with it. He has a lot of songs ripped from CDs and he doesn't want to lose them or have to spend time re-ripping them. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help!

    same thing happened to me. I purchased iPod Access from the internet (for about $15). This program will let you transfer your music and playlists from your iPod to your library

  • I am trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes 11.0.4 but cant. Cant find source on itunes either.

    I am trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes 11.0.4 but cant. Cant find source on itunes either. Can anyone tell me what procedure to follow. I also cant find source on itunes. Ipod do show the connection but cant see anywhere on Itunes
    can any one help with any information

    I'm having sync issues too since I've updated to 11.0.4.  My ipod 160 will no longer sync properly or will hang when attempting to sync yet my 4th gen touch doesn't have any problems.  I am thinking about uninstalling it and rolling back to an older version of itunes.

  • Can't Eject iPod Classic in iTunes 10

    After syncing my 160G iPod Classic with iTunes 10, I could not eject the iPod Classic in iTunes 10. It says the iPod is being used by another Application (when there is NONE except iTunes 10). I had to quit iTunes 10, and eject the iPod Classic via Finder Window. There were a couple of times where I had to perform OPTION-APPLE-ESC before I could eject the iPod Classic. Is there something wrong with this version of iTunes - anybody having same problem? Or could it be my PPC iBook G4? <Don't think so.>
    With all the complaints I've read about iTunes 10 (yah, the icon does look horrible, Steve, despite what you may say - it looks soooooo 'bland'), I suspect it's the latest-but-no-longer-greatest software, iTunes 10.
    Any suggestions/assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Else, I may go back to the earlier version, where I had no problems at all.
    Much thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    I'm having a similar problem ... nothing but problems with iTunes 10
    In my case, my iPod nano is showing up as a device in Finder and even when I eject it from iTunes it remains in the Finder for some time. When I reconnect the nano then iTunes starts playing music, but the nano does not appear in iTunes (although it shows up again in Finder.)
    I have to restart iTunes for the nano to show up again. Disk use is not enabled. I've also had problems with the nano occasionally showing up with the incorrect info (image etc.) in the Summary window.
    I had none of these problems until I upgraded to iTunes 10 (other than it showing up in the Finder.)
    I suspect it will not be easy to go back to iTunes 10 because iTunes 10 upgraded the iTunes Library (as far as I remember.)

  • How do I restore playlist folders from iPod classic to iTunes? The library is intact, but the playlists are not and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch!

    After reformatting my HD and reimporting all songs back into iTunes succesfully, the playlist folders are gone and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch. How do I restore playlists from iPod classic to iTunes 11.1.3 without resorting to 3rd party options?

    I actually tried that in "my computer" by renaming the drive and then got this:
    g-raid (F:) (H:)
    then after reading your reply realized I should try renaming it in "disk management" and hey! it worked.
    Thanks a lot for the advice.
    Now I don't understand why my back-up drive isn't automatically adding the files when I import into the Ex-HD but I'll figuree it out.
