IPod Classic ejects after opening iTunes

Macbook Pro 17" 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo
OSX 10.6.8
iTunes 10.3.1 (55)
Does not make a difference if connected to powered USB hub or directly to the computer. iPod stays on the dekstop. When I open iTunes, the iPod Classic is Ejected.
I do not have this problem with an iPod 4 Generation color.
So what's wrong?

I did everything the last message said in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/12487358#12487358.
The iPod still ejects after I open iTunes

Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Have ipod classic and after performing synch have lost almost 800 songs - how do i find the missing music please

have ipod classic and after performing synch on this occasion have lost almost 800 songs and they do not appear in my library either.

If the music has disappeared from your iPod and is not in your iTunes library, I'm afraid you are out of luck. If the lost music was imported from CD's are from outside the iTunes store, you'll need to reimport each of those tracks.
Otherwise, if the music was purchased from the iTunes store and you are using iTunes 10.3 or later and living in the US, you can redownload it again at no cost. See this article for more details.

Hello,
The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
<a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
Have you checked this link out?:
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

Ipod classic not seen in itunes on computer

ipod classic not seen in itunes on computer

I bought an second hand Ipod classic 160gb. How can i remove the music on it and put my own music on it. So the Ipod is not found in Itunes.

Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

I have a similar problem. Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out. I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
I don't know what to do. here's the situation:
     1. I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
     2. Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
     3. I navigate to the location of the song
     4. I import it.
     5. I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
     6. I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod. When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem. Even others that I've purchased through Amazon. What is so different this time? I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store. Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon). WHY ???

You should be able to, I mean I have a iPod Touch 5th Genertion, and a iPod Nano 5th generation. Works perfectly fine for me for the both of them, it should for you.

HT1363 why is my ipod classic ejecting itself from my laptop?

why is my ipod classic ejecting itself from my laptop?

Is Enable Disk Use ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab? Does this happen when you plug the iPod into another available USB port?
Are there any other USB devices that are plugged in?

My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248U receiver in Pickup. There are 2700 songs but only get through the first 200 Apple has replaced the Ipod 3x and Kenwood says it is not a problem with the receiver.

My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248C receiver in my Pickup. There are about 2700+ songs on the Ipod, but only get through the first 200 to 300 songs. The screen fades, but there is still power and a charge. Does anyone have a clue because I don't.?

There seem to be compatibilty isuue with KDC receiver and Ipod Classic firmware 1.1.2.
Here is an earlier post on the same problem.

Itunes auto-ejects my iPod classic immediately after mounting

greetings,
a very strange problem started today...
i have a 120Gig iPod classic, software version 2.0.1
i have 3 macs of different:
1 macbook pro about 3 years old with 10.6.6 and iTunes 10.1.2,
1 macbook pro also 3 years old with 10.6.7 which is my work computer, iTunes 10.5,
1 powerbook 1.5Ghz G4 with 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 which is my music server connected to my stereo.
i also have a mountable partition on my iPod to transfer files between computers when needed.
i keep my iPod set to "manual syncing" in iTunes so i can plug it into any computer to play my music when away from homw.
today, when plugging in my iPod to my MBPro with 10.6.6, the iPod showed it was connected to a computer and the iPod mounted on the desktop, like normal. then, i manually started iTunes. the iPod appeared in iTunes but wouldn't play anything when i tryed to play songs. the display on my iPod sad "ejecting" and then behaved as though it was no longer connected to my MBPro. the iPod partition was now unmounted in the finder. however iTunes still showed the iPod and all the songs on it. i ejected the iPod in iTunes and tried again. i watched the iPod screen and saw that after connecting to iTunes it display "syncing" for a moment, then gave an message that it was being ejected...
i repeated this on my powerbook, where it normally syncs to, with the same symptoms.
i tried resetting the iPod, cycle hold switch then hold select and menu until the apple logo appeared. the iPod reset and i tried again with the same results...
i rebooted my computers, reset the iPod again and continue to get the same behavior on all 3 computers... clearly an iPod problem... iTunes indicates the iPod software is up to date...
checking the console logs for iTunes error messages, the only messages that shows up with iTunes is "CGSGetWindowBounds: Null window" repeatedly. this appears in 1 computer, don't see error messages when connecting the iPod in the other computer....
since i cannot keep my iPod mounted to any computer with any version of iTunes, i'm not sure what to do to fix it since the simple reset option doesn't work.
i searched the iPod discussion forum and didn't see anything that looks like this.
has anyone seen this before?
any suggestions about what to try next?
i appreciate any suggestions...
thanks-

greetings,
it was obviously a problem with the iPod. so i reformatted my iPod, reinstalled i iPod software, and then did a fresh sync to iTunes. it seems to be working fine again for the last week. since i couldn't mount the iPod without it auto ejecting, i had to put in into "disk mode". then i could use iTunes to reformat and start over again.
the only thing i did BEFORE erasing the iPod was to compare the changes in my podcasts, then update the changes in iTunes so they would show up as "unplayed" on my iPod after they were copied back to my iPod. i normally listen to podcasts on my iPod and delete them there, then iTunes syncs those changes back to my computer.

Windows 7 and iTunes doens't recognise iPod Classic 80g after wipe clean hard drive and format fat32.

My iPod Classic 80gb every now-and-then goes funny, and eventually iTunes doesn't recognise it. In the past I could put it on disk mode, and do a reset, but some times I would have to format (FAT32), uninstall and reinstall iTunes, so it would work. Now it happened again, this time wiped clean the hard drive and formatted. However windows 7 and iTunes still doesn't recognise it. Tried many tips online but nothing works. All software I have used don't see the hard drive, so can't format it again.
I can get it on disk mode but even then windows and iTunes don't recognise it. When connecting to laptop my machine goes boiling hot. Left it connected with iTunes on for few hours but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Hello @turingtest2.
Following your threat I realized it was time to have my hard drive changed. My iPod classic has a Samsung Model: HS081HA, 80gb/3600 rpm (real hard to get it open and check out!!!).
My question is if I DO HAVE to buy exactly the same hard drive, or I could get away with another manufacturer and model, such as Toshiba (80 GB MK8009GAH FOR iPod Video 5th 5.5th iPod Classic 6.5th 7th Gen Hard Drive - Ebay listing)?
I ask you that as these Toshiba hard drives are considerably cheaper.
Help much appreciated.
