Ipod classic does not show in itunes or my computer. Can anyone help?

I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I've had my Ipod classic 80GB for about 5 years. Yesterday for the first time, I encountered a major problem. My Ipod does not appear in either Itunes or My computer when connected by USB to my laptop.
The I pod just displays the message 'connected - eject before disconnecting'. Also my Itunes and internet explorer freezes while the I pod is connected.
I've researched the problem online all day and still no solution. Have already reset the Ipod to factory settings, performed diagnostics both on i tunes and disk mode on the ipod itself. The latter displays the information 'Reallocs 0 and Pending Sectors 2, which from my research indicates that the disk drive on the ipod itself is still ok.
Is there something I'm missing here? Or is it time to get a new Ipod classic?
Would be extemely grateful for any advice.
Thank you
Dario

- however once i reached the crutial stage of
actually switching the 'terminal services' from
disabled to manual, I get an error message on my
computer "Error 5: Access denied" and nothing on the
site gives any indication of what to do in such an
eventuality.
Do you have an administrator account on your computer? If you are not logged in as administrator, do so before attempting to change the to manual. However, I myself am having the same problems with my own ipod..

Ipod Classic does not show up in iTunes and will not sync

My ipod classic does not show up as a device in iTunes. It was working just a week or so ago, but each time I plug it in the screen says connected, then switches to Ejected, you can now disconnect, then says OK to disconnect and then goes to the home screen. Can someone advise me on what is going on and what I need to do to fix it! Thanks!!!

TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.

Mike:
Just had the very same problem. iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1). I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere. Didn't work. What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes. Once it restarted it was there and synching. I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
Try this. May work for you as well.

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

Then it's probably YouTube - have you checked here to see that you're watching the hi res version? It could be that YouTube is choosing an easier version to display based on your internet connection.
You can see on this screenshot that although the video has up to 1080 specs, my connection is making YouTube show me the 360p version by default.

My iPod Touch does not show on itunes

When I plug in my iTouch to the computer and open iTunes, the device does not show on iTunes. I tried restarting the computer and reconnect the usb drive, but it still does not show. The device is recognized on My Computer so I think something is wrong with iTunes.

80 GB Ipod Classic does not show up in itunes or Win Vista Machine

Hi, I recently updated my itunes software with ver.8 and since then my 80 GB Classic ipod does not show up in itunes or in my computer. Hence, I am not able to sync my itunes. When I connect my ipod it just shows "Connected - Eject before disconnecting" and just freezes there. Pls help?

Hi. When I connect my ipod to any microsoft device, sometimes my ipod doesnt connect. I cant charge it, or restore it as it behaves like a useless piece of plastic.. I get a yellow bubble 'Device not recognized or has malfunctioned'
This problem is bizarre! I cannot find anyone who actually has a solution for this problem! Apples standard answer is for me to reinstall my drivers or update itunes or windows. Done it. No solution yet.
My ipod works fine.... sometimes. Its a completely unpredictable problem. Ive googled this problem and so many ipod classic owners have asked.. solutions ive tried: the 5r's, updating drivers, It managed to connect once, but now it wont. My ipod normally works fine on my PC, XBOX, laptop and Mac.. but sometimes, unpredictably, it wont be recognized by anything apart from the mac. For a month it would not connect at all and I took it in to an Apple store where they told me it works fine. Its not my PC.. its up to date, and theres no reason why it doesnt work on my XBOX because some times it does.. last night it did, today its broken again, I suspect tomorrow it may work. This is SO frustrating!!
I have alot of experience in PC's and normally I can solve a problem by process of elimination, updating and reinstalling, but in this case.. everything seems fine. My only idea is that maybe its my Sync cable?? Which also makes no sense because it generally connects fine on the mac - and, why would a sync cable be unpredictable.. surely it either works or it doesnt. HELP PLEASE!!

my serial for my 80g classic is 8K819CPKYMV and is under warranty until May 2009, i bought it in August this year.

IPod Classic Does Not Show Up in iTunes...

I have an iPod classic and a Macbook, and whenever I plug in my iPod it is not recognized in iTunes, in the Finder, or on the desktop.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and that works - but only temporarily. Currently I am having to uninstall/reinstall every time I want to update my iPod, which is not exactly ideal!
I have also tried using a different USB cord, which makes no difference. However, my iPod is recognized on my friend's Dell laptop.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem once and for all?
Thanks!

Make sure you are running the latest version of itunes and quicktime. thats all i can say, hope it works.

Ipod music does not show in Itunes

Hello! I am new to the forum and was hoping someone could provide some advise please. I previously used Windows with my Ipod - they were synced. I have since purchased a Macbook Pro. My previous Itunes playlist (windows) is on the Ipod, but no longer on my current Itunes (macbook). I want to play music from my Ipod on my Mac and possible transfer music from the Ipod to the Mac. I have ticked 'manually manage', when I plug in the Ipod, however, it does not show any music Ipod content on Itunes. Am I missing something basic? Thank you so much.

Hi...
possible transfer music from the Ipod to the Mac.
First, if you have not done so, launch iTunes on your Mac. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now connect the iPod.
Now from the menu bar again click File > Transfer Purchases from ...
For "non" iTunes purchases you may need to use a third party utility.

Podcast category for iPod Touch does not show in iTunes

When connecting my iPod Touch to iTunes, the "Podcasts" category no longer appears in the sidebar under "Devices". The category DOES appear under the Library portion of the sidebar, however. I prefer to manage and sync my podcasts manually within iTunes, but I now have no way of removing old podcasts from my iPod.
I'm running iTunes 10.0.1.22 under Windows XP and my iPod Touch 3rd generation is running iOS 4.0.

I have a new iphone 5c. How can I turn off the passcode. Unlike previous models it does not show Passcode under settings - general !! Can anyone help? Susie

Thank you Chris. Yes I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off. All the forums visited said it was under general. I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly. Susie

I had my iphone 3gs unlocked so i could use it in Oz, however although i can phone works ok, i cant get internet, but i the option of Cellular Data Network does not appear with the new sim? Can anyone help pls?

Hi Just wondered if anyone can help with the above question? I had O2 phone unlocked and bought a local sim card, but although the calls are fine i have no option for internet etc. I have done searches and got the info details from the sim provider to activate, but instructions say i go to : Settings; General; Network and then Celluar Data Network, but I dont get that option ? When i put back my O2 sim card, the option reappears?
Can anyone help me please? Off to Australia again soon and really could do with it working properly this time.
Thanks everyone
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie, was wondering what brand sim card you bought?
Was it from Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Virgin or Mayasim?
I have a 4 S running iOS 5.01 is there an option in Settings - Network - Carrier? As this should be set to the supplier of the sim card. In my Settings - Network there is no option for Celluar Data Network.
What version of the iOS are you using?
Some prepaid sim cards may not have a lot of data, so I suggest searching the companies websites for the best deals before you come here. Telstra usually have good plans. If you take your phone to the shop you purchased the sim card from they will usually set it up for you.
Telstra runs on a different frequency to others and offers the best coverage in Australia.
Just for the record I am not an employee of any mobile company.
