Ipod classic is not getting detected by Itunes.

There were problems from when I updated my system to windows8. But some how in 2-3 times it usually detects the ipod and I was able to sync music. But now Itunes is not at all detecting my Ipod. I tried in different systems, in windows 7(which crashed and showed a blue screen) and XP but in that too it is not detecting. When I connect the Ipod,it makes some noise and windows shows that there is some problem with the device, fix it. When I click in that for repair, after scanning, pop up comes which says there was no error and the device is ready to use.
But in MAC it is getting detected so there is some problem with windows only.
I tried everything which was there in the internet. Please help or tell me the reason for this.

Hey there Aakrisha,
It sounds like you are connecting the iPod to your Windows 8 based computer but it is not working as expected. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps outlined in this article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Here is a general overview of the troubleshooting to be done, each link has its own set of steps to try.
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

  • Hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone. how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?

    hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
    how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
    the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
    like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
    before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
    first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
    Many thanks

    Hi Demo, thank you for your suggestions.
    I've tried updating in the following conditions:
    1. "Over The Air" at one location;
    2. On a Windows computer running the latest version of iTunes at the same location;
    3. On Mavericks (10.9.4) running the latest version of iTunes (11.4 (18)) at another location;
    4. On Mavericks, latest iTunes over a VPN with a server location in US;
    5. On Mavericks, using a 3G connection shared from an iPhone;
    6. On Yosemite developer preview with a previous version of iTunes at the same location.
    I got the same results in most cases except for an occasional error with code 9; I'll try again in other conditions.
    Interestingly enough, I've successfully updated my devices to iOS 7.1.2 and to iOS8 GM without any issues at the same location but, of course, no two conditions are exactly the same

  • IPod Classic will not sync since installed iTunes 11

    iPod Classic will not sync properly since installed new iTunes. Always stops at or around song 2 and just hangs there, even if left all night. Tried restoring the iPod, made no difference. Tried syncing just some songs, sometimes it will do 20 or so but not more than that - and I have 10,000 songs.
    Saw something about problem with Winsock and reset that but no effect.
    Recently been re-recording CDs in Apple Lossless with 'Convert to AAC' selected for iPod. Maybe the conversion process is causing the block? But it did not before.
    I also tried moving the itunes material from the Synology NAS to the PC as I thought the processing power might be the problem. It synced once after that, now it is blocked again. Tonight I tried selecting only the original AAC files and it seems to have worked for them, my problem therefore seems to be the Apple Lossless - unless the syncing of AAC files is another one-off.
    Not for the first time I wish I had not updated iTunes because it so often leads to problems of some kind. Why do they not care?
    Any

    Update: following successful sync of AAC files, I changed the setting to 'manual' for music & videos, used the View menu to restore the old sidebar, and manually added the Lossless files to the IPod. That actually seems to be working (very slowly). But it would be better if Sync worked as it should.

  • 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!!!

  • IPod classic can't be detected in iTunes, will not format, will not disk-check (MSW7)

    I've been trying to sync my iTunes to my iPod Classic for over a year now to no avail. I finally got fed up with waiting and decided to come look for help on this support page.
    After taking the "professional" advice here on how to completely reformat my iPod so as to reset its internal filesystem, I also seem to have severed all capability for my device to interact with any aspect of my computer.
    Now when iTunes is open, it no longer even offers me the option to sync because my iPod does not display. When I do plug my iPod in it shows up in my explorer shell and I am given the open to "Scan and Fix" which I select, only to have Windows tell me that it cannot detect my iPod's disk. The same thing happens when I right click and attempt to manually format the drive.
    What do?

    This could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate, which may be slightly different if your model is a bit older.

    Syncing my 6th generation Ipod Classic, I get loads of the same message, "Itunes could not copy songs into ipod due to error -50". The syncing then completes with only 15gb used space and 143 gb space free.

  • 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!!

  • IPod classic does not show up in iTunes or on imac desktop

    I have a 80gb Classic Ipod. 2 days ago it stopped showing up in iTues or on my desktop when I connected it to the mac. On the iPod it shows "connected" and every so often the display on the ipod shows moves to indicate it is syncing but nothing happens on the mac or itunes. The only place the iPod shows is under Disk Utility.
    I have used different ports and usb cables.
    Help... I can't get my lovely new tunes on my iPod ....

  • IPod Classic will not show up in iTunes

    Okay. I'm sure this has been posted somewhere before, but I don't have time to surf through all those posts, so here's my problem. I had an old MacBook with an iTunes account and my iPod Classic would sync up to it just fine. Now I am using someone else's iMac and my iPod will not show up in iTunes. The iMac recognizes my iPod; the icon for it will show up on the desktop. iTunes also somehow recognizes my iPod, because when I hook it to the usb, iTunes automatically opens up. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it (twice) via the steps you get from Apple support. I've also tried misc. other tips apple gives you, and to no avail. I'm tired of trying the same old thing- nothing ever works!! Any suggestions???? Thanks!

  • New Ipod Classic 160Gb not recognising songs in Itunes library

    I have just purchased a new Ipod Classic. There are 800 songs in my Itunes library that are not syncing to the new Ipod. There were no problems with my old Ipod 5th Gen.
    The songs that are not syncing are songs that I have loaded into Itunes from my own CDs.
    Does anybody know why or how to fix this problem.
    I am not manually syncing, I have told Itunes that I want to sync all songs with this new Ipod.

    This is Apple's brilliant new marketing scheme: we'll make all our new iPods NON compatible with older OSX's - then, oh my god! People will be forced to pay for an OS upgrade. Just another example of how Apple loooves to wow us with their sleek functioning products, then hit a us with a curveball (machines die the day your warranty is up, items not compatible) and hope we will still be wowed by their products. My iPod died after a hearty 2 years of service (NOT long enough after having spent $300 on it), I go out to buy a new itouch, and what do you know - not compatible with my itunes. Now cannot get my 5000 songs onto my portable music player. Wish I could use a Zune.

  • IPod touch wouldn't get detected by iTunes

    After the patch to 7.6 on iTunes i also patch my Ipod Touch to 1.1.3 BUt after that i notice that my iTouch doesn't always get detected by the iTunes when i plug it in to my USB port. Now it becomes such that iTunes doesn't detect it at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and do some reading on topics posted on problems with syncing but I still can get my Itouch detected.
    Ran iTune Connectivity Test and shows everything is working well. All my USB drivers are up to date and working fine, i can plug in a Flash drive in the same USB port i use and the flash drive shows up on my computer. I even got a 2nd cable but the problem persists.

    I tried connecting the Itouch to a Mac with iTunes, that system doesn't detect the iTouch as well. so looks like 1.1.3 did something funny to my iTouch then...
