IPOD Classic is no longer recognized by my IBook

My IPod has suddenly stopped being recognized y my computer. It works in my Bose dock. It will not even charge with my computer. I restored the IPod and that worked for one night. Now it isn't recognized at all. I even tried a different cord and it isn't working either. Please help.

Hey there,
Try manually putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363] then reconnecting it to your computer to see if that helps.
Otherwise, I would work through each of the troubleshooting solutions provided in this Apple support document. It is a good place to start.

  • My trusty iPod Classic is no longer recognized by my Mac and it indicates that all my music is gone.   Yet it shows 40 megs of data on board.   How can I fix this compatibility issue?

    Trusty iPod Classis now says no music yet shows 40 megs of storage.   How can I restore the music on my iPod?

    See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.

  • IPod Nano 3G lo longer recognized after Update to iTunes 9 on Vista 32 Ulti

    So i updatedt to iTunes 9 yesterday - only to find out that my iPod 3G is no longer recognized by iTunes. Also my 2G are not recognized any longer on this machine
    ALL three iPods still work fine with my other computer whicgh is running the same Windows version but has still iTunes 8 installed.
    With the IPod service disabled the iPods appear properly as a device - they show their assigned name and you can browse the content.
    When the service is enabled and you start iTunes iTunes displays a message that says that it "discoveerd" the iPod but could not identify it
    see heer http://0711.diy-punk.net/WOW/ipodfu.jpg
    also as soon as iTunes gets involved the device is no longerreadable under Windows
    i tried multiple reboots, restart of iPod service, rebooted the iPod, resetted the iPod - nothing helps...

    Yeah... I hope apple solves this problem soon. =\
    I use Windows XP instead of Vista...
    This happened to me:
    I plugged my iPod
    Oppened the iTunes, iTunes recognized the iPod with all the songs, album covers, playlists, etc.
    It asked for update. (Download & Instal, ok)
    Finished the update, oppened the iTunes 9.0. Added a new songs but then I realized it didn't recognize the iPod (wich was plugged.)
    I checked on "My computer" and I saw "iPod". Ok.
    When I ejected the iPod it was clean. No musics, no Videos, no playlists. Started on the screen "Select your language".
    I Tried reinstaling the iTunes but whenever I got an older version it said something like "The iTunes can't be started because the iTunes library has been generated by a new version."
    Restarted my PC several times.
    Rebooted the iPod.
    Tried switching USBs.
    NOTHING works.
    Nothing at all.
    even tryed the manage thing on "My Computer".
    If they don't find a way of fixing this bug my iPod Nano is not better than a f**kin' Pendrive... ~.~"
    Hope apple do something...

  • My iPod Classic will no longer allow me to create podcast playlists.  I've restored it twice.  What is the problem?

    My iPod Classic will no longer allow me to create podcast playlists.  It create music playlists.  I've restored it twice.  What is the problem?

    Is the problem that you can create them in iTunes, but they are empty on the iPod itself? If so, I had that problem, and the issue appeared to be that playlists that used MediaType=Podcast didn't seem to transfer. If, on the other hand, I gave all podcasts a Genre of Podcast, it worked better. In general, with the older iPod classic, I found that playlists based on MediaType didn't work that well.

  • IPod classic 5th is not recognized by operating systems or iTunes

    I have an iPod Classic 5th generation A1136 (80g with video).  Recently, right around the time of the new iTunes release, my iPod is no longer recognized by my Mac (in disk mode) or in iTunes (in any mode).  It still charges when connected to my computer.  It plays music (and video) in all of my docking stations.  It isn't recognized by the machine.  I have tried iTunes on other machines.  I have tried the 5 R's.  I have put it in disk mode.  I have reset the iPod.  I have reinstalled iTunes on my Mac.  Every solution i have read about, I have pretty much tried.  Could this be a hardware issue?  If so, what sort of issue would produce these symptoms.

    You have a 4th gen Ipod.  First reset the ipod , then put it in disk mode. then plug it back into computer. That second icon of the folder  means it can't find an OS.  You might have to take it apart to see if you have the hard drive seated correctly and the hard drive ribbon. If none of this works, uplug and restart it, hold you ear to it and listen to see if you hear a clicking or buzzing sound. If you do the hard drive is bad. To do a reset -toggle the hold switch on the end by the screen then press and hold the center button and the menue button at the same time-then as soon as the apple comes up - press and hold the center button and the botton of the click wheel, disk mode should come up.  Plug back in and see if it comes up in itunes do a restore. The bottom of the click wheel is play- pause. It's also what you hold to shut it down.

  • Frozen ipod that is no longer recognized by computer

    Help! My I-pod nano is frozen. It has been frozen before, so I did what Apple.com said to do. It is still frozen! So I decided to plug it in to the computer to charge .. and the I-pod is no longer recognized by my computer!
    I've tried a million times to unfreeze it, doing what Apple said, but nothing is working! And why is Itunes not recognizing my I-pod?

    Hi caitt,
    I don't know if "what Apple said to do" means that you tried the 5 R's, but that's a good start:

  • TS1369 iPod Classic suddenly not being recognized in iTunes on MacBook Pro

    I just got a new MacBook Pro a few weeks ago, and have had no issues connecting my iPod Classic to it via iTunes. Yesterday, however, my iPod stopped registering in iTunes. I checked in the System Reports on my MacBook, and I can see that the USB Hub is acknowledging that the iPod is there, AND the iPod is charging when connected so I know it's not a connection issue with the cord, however the iPod still isn't registering in iTunes. If I plug up my iPhone, though, it shows up so it's likely not the computer either. My iPod is working fine and has been connecting fine until yesterday morning when it suddenly just didn't apear anymore. I need to fix it ASAP! Help!

  • Ipod Classic 160 GB not Recognized by Itunes

    Itunes does not recognize my Classic Ipod 160 GB. I have tried all the suggestions offered by apple. Any advice?

    I had the same problem with my iPod classic 80 GB. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support this morning. It is interesting that I could still sync my iPhone and an older iPod, just not the Classic - so I suspected either a hardware or Mac software issue. The solution (I think) is that the permission in OS X for the device is not recognized. After restoring my iPod to factory settings, and completely deleting and reloading a new copy of iTunes, I am now able to get my Mac to recognize this iPod. Following the instructions found here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8342.html
    I was able to add permission for the "administrator" to have read and write privileges on this device. That seems to have solved the problem. Thanks to Ryan at Apple Expert for the troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • IPod classic (20gb) no longer recognised on laptop.

    Hi. My iPod classic 20gb is no longer recognised on my laptop and consequently can't download from iTunes etc. I've tried trouble shooting tips with no joy. My origninal cable is not great but still able to charge using it most of the time. I have tried with my iPhone cable but with no response. Does the iPod classic (20gb) need a specific cable? Thanks for any help.

    Hello Wraggs,
    I had the same problem with the same model iPod.  At first my laptop would not recognize the device; after a while it also stopped taking a charge at all.
    First see that you're using a cable of at least 1 amp output.  (Many are only .5a.)  Even though my iPod has been repaired (see below), I still have to use the 1a to get it to charge and connect.
    If that doesn't fix the connectivity problem, it's probably the same issue as mine - some of the 40-some connector pins in the iPod's port were apparently bent and not making proper contact with the charger pins.  (Lesson learned: I'm now very careful to plug it in perfectly straight.)  Had to call in the big guns for that one: I found a parts-only, identical model iPod on eBay (ensuring from the seller that the charging port actually worked), had a geek-inclined relative swap out the non-working battery and hard drive for my own, and have had no problems since.  That method is iffy and depends on you or a friend being able to mess with it, but it's a lot cheaper than buying a new iPod.
    Hope either of these tips help.

  • Why won't my ipod classic 80gb no longer synch after latest itune version updates

  • Ipod classic 160 usb not recognized

    Ipod Classic 160 (not recognized by computer) and under Ipod Diagonistics (no Ipod found). I have two other Ipods which I-Tunes and my computer recognizes.  I have reset Ipod to no avail. Because I am unable to connect to I-Tunes with the Ipod I am unable to restore or reset.  I have watched all the YouTube videos and followed each.  One thing that is strange is it will not test or disconnect from disk mode.  I really enjoyed this I pod and hope one of you can resolve this problem for me.  Thanks

  • Ipod classic suddenly not being recognized on PC

    Hi,
    My ipod classic (7th gen) used to work fine and was recognized on my PC and in iTunes. BUT now it has suddenly stopped being recognized on the PC. My other ipod classic works fine and is recognized by the PC and iTunes as soon as I plug it in (same dock with the same lead), so it can't be anything to do with the lead / USB / dock.
    I have tried resetting the ipod, uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes, to no avail.
    Can anyone please help?!
