My Ipod Classic is stuck on the restore screen but it won't restore when connected to Itunes, what can I do?

My Ipod classic is stuck on restore mode, every time I try to use it the Apple logo apears and then the restore screen. I tried restoring it on my Itunes but the action cannot be completed. Can anybody help me out?

Perfect. Perhaps you could take a look at all of the suggestions in this Apple support document related to your issue.

There is no disk in the drive--please insert a disk into drive F & more

Hey,
I've been having a problem with my ipod shuffle (2nd gen) for the past couple of weeks. Everything is okay until I try to eject the ipod. I click the eject button and the following errors pop up: "There is no disk in the drive--please insert a disk into drive F." and this next error pops up immediately after the disk F error. "The ipod can not be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
I've been browsing around on this forum and I came across a person that had the exact same problem I had. That thread is located here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12582148&#12582148 Take note of the person replying to the person asking about the problem saying it could be a problem with an anti-virus program. The asker said they had McAfee. I also have McAfee. And since the person answering didn't know too much about McAfee and suggested the asker take it up with McAfee, I decided to go straight to the McAfee forum to ask about the problem. I asked my question over there and the person answering said it couldn't be a problem with McAfee. It doesn't interfere with legitimate software. I could always click skip once it reached the ipod if I felt like doing that. Or I could turn off the schedule scan to avoid automatic scanning--I already did that. I prefer manual scans. Anyway, the McAfee discussion is located here: https://community.mcafee.com/message/167031#167031
As for the 5 R's: I have reset the ipod. I've tried putting the dock into another USB port. It's firmly in the dock btw. I updated itunes a couple of days ago to see if that would help the problem and it didn't. I uninstalled itunes last night, restart the machine and reinstalled it and I still got the error. And I haven't tried restore. tbh I really want to avoid that route if at all possible. I've done 4 out of the 5 R's. I'd hate to restore everything and still have the problem come up.
Can somebody please help me? Normally I wouldn't consider this a huge problem but I don't want it leading to a bigger problem in the long run.
And for computer information: My system is 100% clean. I have McAfee and Malwarebytes and I use them regularly and it always comes out clean.
Thank you for any/all replies.

I had the same problem and after a few hours, I found the fix. iTunes uses a program called "MobileDeviceService". It appears Mcafee blocks this program by default. To resolve this, got to McAfee Firewall Settings, click "Internet Connections for Programs", and find the program called "MobileDeviceService". Edit the settings to change Access Level from "Block" to "Full". Now you will be able to synch to your iphone/ipad/ipod through iTunes.

There is no disk in the drive. please insert a disk into drive

i downloaded new itune upgrade. now i cant use it because this windows message appears(there is no disk in the drive. please insert a disk into drive) & i cant cancel, try again or continue it.as this message keeps appearing itune is trying to anayize each song (12000 songs)but cant because the windows no disk windows keeps popping up.

I haven't seen this myself but in another forum query someone suggested that one possible cause of this is dead tracks.
If so you can get sofware that can remove dead tracks.
iTSync is one such program which others have recommned although I have no experience of it myself.

Premiere Elements 13 Adobe Premiere Elements.exe-no disk (window) There is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk\DR3.

I just updated to Photoshop & Premiere Elements 13, by downloading the 64-bit Windows version from the Adobe website. Windows keeps popping-up (multiple times) "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe-no disk" window. Circle X - comment "There is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk\DR3. After 6 to 18 times (choses cancel, try again, continue). The window finally goes away. How do I get rid of this problem? BTW, when installing from Version 11, I opted from the preferences from the 11 Version.

What motivated you to
I chose Adobe Elements 11's preferences to be installed into the Adobe Premiere Elements 13
program. It was an options , when setting up the Version 13 program.
Was there something extraordinary about your Adobe Premiere Elements 11 preferences?
It is interesting situation...maybe a coincidence, but 11 was typically hit with No Disc message, and
most of the time the problem was related to SmartSound which was discontinued in versions 12 and 13.
If no extraordinary reason for this preferences transfer which I have not run into...

and, in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete to "flush" the preferences. If that does not
work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with
Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete file cited.
Have you installed Premiere Elements 13 to the default location on Local Disc C?
Please review and consider.

If nothing else, let the battery fully drain and then charge it up.

Apple is very disappointing, they have no problem charging high prices but they dont give the support needed to the customers. the ipod is buggy and it had problems since i got it(yesterday)

i cant get it to enter diagnostic mode, and when i hit center and play after center and menu it does nothing either
ive just about had it with ipods
this is my 3rd or 4th classic that i have had problems with

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode. I responds to nothing. iTunes doesn't recognize it. It doesn't sync. I've tried to restore and got error 1429. Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off. I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead. Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons

my ipod classic is stuck in the 'this game cannot be launched'mode.as a result i cannot use it for any think.it is not full.
thanks for your help.

Try resetting the device. The hard drive may not be full, but the device RAM might be. If resetting doesn't work then perhaps you have many large playlists and these are reducing the amount of free RAM for games.
