Ipod classic ejects as soon as its in!!

just bought a new ipod classic and the first time i put it in the sync was perfect and got all my music on. Now as soon as I put the ipod in it ejects itself as soon as connected. All my software is up to date, my cable is fine as my iphone works and i have reset the ipod. Any other ideas?

Well here on this forum, you are not talking to Apple but other users like yourself.
If you feel that your question wasn't answered properly then you can either escalate the question to the manager of the Apple Store or call Apple Customer Service to report this problem to them.

  • My iPod Classic 160GB has lost all its music and won't sync or restore

    My iPOD Classic 160GB has spontaneously lost all its music - approx. 5000 songs. One minute they were all there, now they're all gone - display says "No Music" although memory still shows 23GB in use? I tried to re-sync on iTunes but the iPod won't sync (error 1415) or restore (error 1439). As things currently stand,my iPod is just a very expensive paperweight - please can anybody help with this?

    hi lindsay
    i understand you have all your music still in your itunes library?
    Try the basic resetting of your ipod,also try another usb port.
    Have you tried ,when ipod is connected,click on your ipods name,for example lindsays ipod,another window should open up and you can see  summary,click on the sync box ,bottom right hand corner,see if this helps.
    Or you could ,when you have itunes open,click for updates.
    hope this may help you
    thanks madforit

  • 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

  • Ipod Classic ejects itself..

    My Classic ejects itself after connecting to my PC (WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL SP2) i cant find what the problem is..
    i have/tried
    -USB 2.0
    -WINDOWS XP SP2
    -connecting it behind the PC
    -5 Rs
    -Repairing my iTunes
    -connecting it in different USB ports
    -taking off other devices that are connected in the USB ports
    -iTunes 7.6
    -tried different cables
    -tried using another account/user in my PC
    the store where i bought my CLassic doesn't encounter this problem.. i also lend it to my friend and it worked perfectly with him too.. i came up of a conclusion that my PC is the problem.. but how do i fix it?? are there any ipod drivers i need to install in my PC???
    PLEASE HELP ME! I'M DESPERATE =) THANKS!!!
    PS: MY Classic charges when it's connected in my PC..

    hi, i thought i'd offer an alternative solution as i found something that worked for me.
    i got my first ipod yesterday (the classic 80gb) and i have had this problem. it kept ejecting itself intantly. well...i managed to update it to 1.1.2 and sync it once but then i had this problem since. i tried different usb ports and also different cables but nothing worked.
    this is what finally worked:
    before, i always had itunes open and running then plugged in my ipod and i got this problem. i tried closing itunes, and just plugging in my ipod to the computer without itunes running and it didn't eject (nor did it open itunes for me as apparently it is supposed to) so anyway i connected and it held the connection without ejecting, then i opened itunes manually by clicking the icon and it held the connection. at this time i changed the settings to manually sync the ipod and to use it as a hard disc, and since then (only this morning) it has worked ok and not kept ejecting. hopefully it'll continue to work in this way. good luck guys hope it works for you too.
    what a crappy company apple must be to have such a high profile product used my millions and it's just plagued with constant problems and bugs. my mobile has to do 3 times as many things as the ipod and it never has any trouble. sort it out apple!!!!!

  • Ipod Classic 120G keeps rebooting on its own

    I bought this new ipod 120g classic and it keeps on rebooting by itself randomly. This happens like around four to five times a day. When I click something it turns off and just shows that apple logo sign for a while. Is there a solution to this problem? I have done the software updates but doesnt seem to handle it

    I have the same issue. My brand new iPod Classic was working fine with firmware 2.0. I just synched up and downloaded the 2.0.1 update, and the thing has rebooted in its dock 3 times in the last 20 minutes.
    Model is an MB562. Thats the generation 2 iPod Classic. Its two weeks old.

  • Ipod Classic Ejecting Itself

    My Ipod glassic keeps ejecting itself before a sync is even complete.  I have tried reseting it, changing cables, changing ports, putting it into disc mode.  I updated Itunes a few days ago and that seems to be the only thing that has changed since I last plugged in my ipod.  It won't even let me restore it from my computer.

    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?

    I am having the EXACT same problem. All the buttons work fine on my 80gb iPod Classic, except for the play button.

  • My Ipod Classic wont charge or turn on. Ive never had a problem with it before this.

    OK so long story short, I went to listen to my ipod this morning before school and it wouldnt turn on.
    I thought it might have died and didnt really think anything of it. When I was done with school i went to go turn it on again, still nothing.
    Now itunes doesnt register its even plugged in. I've never had a problem with it so im really frustrated it was fine less then 24 hours ago and now it wont even turn on. Its not even that old I think its two years old maybe three.
    I've tried diffrent computers and different chargers still nothing.
    PLEASE HELP!
    i love my ipod and im way bummed its not working.
    thanks!

  • 160GB iPod Classic (2007 version)

    I have the 6th generation, 160GB iPod classic (2007 version). Whenever I get to 2 specific songs, they will only play for about 5-10 seconds and then skip to the next song. It doesn't do that when I play those songs on my Mac. I've done several complete restores of the iPod and it does it on the same 2 songs every time. I have about 113GB of music, video and photos on it. The interface is also very sluggish. Why won't Apple update the firmware on this thing? It's barely 4 years old, yet OS X 10.5 from that same year has received updates more recently than the last update to my iPod software. If the only real difference between mine and the newer models are Genius and Genius Mixes, why can't I use the latest software on mine? Is it really that hard to support a 4 year old iPod that I bought to support my large music library for many years? I'd eventually buy an iPod Touch to replace it, but not until it's big enough for my entire library (which won't happen for at least another year). Seriously Apple, where is the love?

    There are basically two reasons why firmware gets updated.
    It's unstable, so it gets an update to fix it. The Classic's firmware is stable, that's why it doesn't get updated.
    To give the iPod more features. Perhaps the iPod Classic has all the features its hardware can cope with. As for Genius (which I do not use and have not even tried) - surely that's in iTunes, not on the iPod. Therefore, updating the iPod's firmware would achieve nothing and since you now state that you "don't even care much for Genius", why bring it up in the first place?
    To turn on Genius (in iTunes), go to Edit/Preferences/General and turn on the tick box named Genius.
    sigh...
    Oh, and with 113GB of music on your iPod, I'm not surprised the interface is sluggish (or less responsive than with just 10GB of music).

  • Kenwood car stereo won't recognize ipod classic

    Purchased my first Ipod, (ipod classic). Works great on its own. Connects to Kenwood KDC MP532U car stereo through USB port. However, stereo states "no music". Can this be fixed, or did I just waste my $$ on Ipod?

    Search for Kenwood on this forum, there are a number of suggested fixes.
    First of all, you should be able to get a firmware update for your stereo from the Kenwood website. Check your model on the Kenwood website.
    Also, make sure you upgrade to 1.1.1 - this appears to solve a number of problems in connecting to non-Apple hardware.
    I hope that helps.

  • Ipod Classic + New Universal Dock--Browsing Albums on TV?

    I'm a little confused as to whether the new Universal Dock, when connected to a TV, displays all of the menus from the iPod classic and lets you browse its contents etc., as well as how much information is displayed on the TV during playback. The description on the store page is pretty vague, and I have no reason to buy the dock if it only lets you play back video stored on the iPod and doesn't serve as a front end for music.

    Yep, useless, and frustrating. Once in cover flow, I can use my Apple remote (with dock) to switch albums on my 160Gb Classic, but on a screen that small from 4 metres away, it's annoying. Especially as I have a 42" plasma there with a blank screen.
    Come on Apple, you gave video output, why not your own menus screens!!
    I have put in feedback here asking the same question:

  • Does the latest ipod classic have wifi

    Hello everyone, I need to know if the latest ipod classic has wifi capabilities. I know that all previous generations do not come with it, the ipod touch I know it does. But Im interested in purchasing the latest ipod classic, on the apple website when checking the tech specs nowhere does it say it does. And is the latest generation called 7th Generation? Let me know please, thanks.

    iPod Classic's main advantage is its 36 hour battery life. Having minimal wireless contact is what makes this possible, so if you're fine with syncing you iPod classic to your laptop/Mac whenever you want tunes then by all means purchase the iPod Classic, if not then the 32 GB or 64GB iPod touch I your best bet.

  • As soon as i connect my ipod classic it ejects itself

    please,how do i stop my ipod from ejecting itself?

    Hi,
    Apple support has fixed this issue for me as it seems to be a common issue with itunes 11.
    Go to top left of itunes and select "show menu bar" - this will then display "file, edit, view..." menu on top left.
    Go to view and select "show sidebar" and then connect your ipod.  This should now work for you.
    Apparently with the hidden sidebar the very first time you connect it has a hard time recognising it.  After you follow the above steps and connect the first time you will no longer have this issue and you can connect the ipod and keep the sidebar hidden in the future.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod ejects as soon as it is connected - what can I do?

    I NEED HELP! Every time I connect my iPod Classic to my computer, it automatically ejects within 30 seconds or less (usually less). I have removed and reinstalled iTunes on my computer, to no avail. Nothing will sync. Any ideas on what I can do?

    I only came across this problem last week when I bought a new 160gb classic.
    It disconnected itself before Windows had chance to try and recognise it.
    I stuck it on a mains charger for a few hours and all was ok.
    Having used it during the following day, it started to connect and eject continuously each time you tried to plug it into the USB port.
    The same connection is also used, successfully, for two 2nd Nanos and two 5th Classics.
    I left the 160gb connected for a few minutes whilst having to attend to something else.
    When I un-plugged and re-plugged the USB connection, it now tried to sync with iTunes, but failed and ejected itself.
    As it was charging, I left it and on the next re-plug, all was ok.
    Same thing next morning. Use it, plug it in and it ejects. Charge it and all ok.
    What I have also noticed is that the 160gb shows a battery icon in iTunes between its device name and the small eject button.
    That only appears for this device and not the others, thus indicating some battery intelligence has been built into the 160gb.
    My supposition is that the new classics have firmware that rejects an attempt to connect and sync with iTunes below a certain power level.
    Perhaps a little fine tuning is needed to the firmware by Apple? Do Apple have a view on this?
    Sorry for being so verbose but I hope this helps or stimulates a discussion.
