Ipod classic not connect the computer and not load, what do I do?
Help me please!
Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB port on your PC? Preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC and not a USB port on the front or via USB hub.
With the iPod still connected to your PC, try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, see this article for more troubleshooting suggestions.

Ipod Shuffle wont connect to computer and i cannot charge it.
My ipod shuffle charges via the computer and my computer is not recognizing the ipod and neither is itunes. I have treid all your 5 steps and its still not working, i cannot "RESET" it because my ipod isnt being recognised at all!!
Help please.They're not -my- five steps. They are, however, a useful start to troubleshooting iPod issues. Unfortunately, since Resetting iPod shuffle doesn't require the use of a computer, or require that the shuffle be recognized by your computer, I really don't know what you've done so far.
Here are some other things to try. iPod missing from My Computer A number of the things in this list won't be applicable to the shuffle, of course.
Good luck

When I plug my iPod Classic into my MacBook Pro, the iPod appears on the desktop and automatically launches iTunes. The iPod also appears in the Finder. But no mtter how long the beach ball spins in iTunes, it never recognizes my iPod. I am using iTunes 10.5.2. I don't think it's the connecting cable or the iPod, since it works on other computers. From what I have read on the support forums, it seems like the problem might have been upgrading iTunes. But I am not sure how to downgrade and am fearful of losing my music. Help?

Ipod freezes when connected to computer and cannot restore
When I connect my ipod to my computer itunes does not recognise it for a long time, when it does it says the ipod may be corrupted and to do a restore. So I click restore, and the warning message comes up about erasing the songs. I click yes then an error message comes up saying that the resource is not available. When I click eject, the ipod dissapears from the source list but the do no disconnect thing stays on the ipod screen and dosent even flash.
My ipod has not been recognized by itunes since the latest update, so I uninstalled the ipod driver and this problem has been happening sinceIf you look through the forum there appear to thousand of people who have this problem. Here's what we know so far:-
1. The problem is related to iTunes v7 and the firmware v1.2 on later ipods.
2. it is a bug in the firmware that gives any/all of the following symptoms
- freezes after re-set
- freezes during restore
- cannot sync
- cannot eject
- cannot switch off
- basically CANNOT USE IPOD AT ALL
3. the problem appears to have been known to apple for at least a couple of weeks but they have not found a solution and for the time being they have also chosen to not even acknowledge the problem to re-assure users that their hardware is OK and a software fix is on the way.
4. Contentious posts are being deleted by Apple (I have already had 2 removed so get this one while it's hot)
keep the pressure up!!!
They will have to acknowledge it and fix it -

help me please !!
Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you. Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

I have an 80 GB iPod Classic that has suddenly developed severe problems. I'm running iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit.
It was working fine until last night, when I connected it to iTunes to add 6 songs. (Four of these were bought on Amazon.com and 2 ripped from CD's). It accepted the songs and played them fine when connected. When I clicked the icon in iTunes to eject the iPod, it came up with the "OK to Disconnect" and progress bar as usual. However, this time the progress bar didn't start to fill in. It just sat there.
After several minutes the progress bar finally filled in and returned to the menu... but instead of displaying the cover flow on the right side as usual, it showed a gray box with "No Music."
When I tried to re-connect it to my computer, iTunes would not recognize it. My computer also wouldn't recognize it at first... after several minutes, it came up as a generic removable device. Attempting to right-click on it or eject it from Windows was unsuccessful.
The iPod itself displayed "Connected" and alternated the plug image with the spinning arrows. It never said "Synchronizing" as it usually does.
Furthermore, my computer's performance degraded severely while the iPod was plugged in. iTunes itself froze, and even my other applications (such as my web browser) would not work correctly. This all cleared up as soon as I unplugged the iPod. If I tried to initialize iTunes while the iPod was plugged in, it would not open. It opened immediately when I unplugged the iPod.
Finally, despite claiming to have no music or other contents (it had contained only my iTunes music library, which is about 26.5 GB), in Settings the iPod claimed to have only 5.3 GB of free space.
Resetting the iPod with Select/Menu made no change. I was able to put it in diagnostic mode and check the hard drive, which gave these results:
Retracts: 381
Reallocs: 0
Pending Sectors: 10
PowerOn Hours: 417
Smart/Stops: 381
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 15c
Temp: Max 48c
When I put the iPod up to my ear I hear a steady, faint high-pitched sound and an occasional very faint crackling noise. When it shuts down the sound continues for a few seconds, then ends with a kind of squeaking sound.
The iPod is more than 5 years old, so I'm prepared for the probability that it's fried. But I'd like to try everything before I go ahead and spring for a new one.The iPod's hard drive probably has data corruption. That does not necessarily mean there is a hardware problem. Hard drives, including the ones in computers, can develop data corruption.
Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
If it goes into Disk Mode, run iTunes on the computer and connect the iPod. To eliminate other potential issues, you should disconnect other USB devices (you can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected), and connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.
iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore, which you should do. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If the problem was only data corruption, and there is no hardware problems, the iPod should have a "fresh start." You can sync it from your iTunes library.
If the iPod does not go into Disk Mode, or if doing a Restore fails, the iPod's hard drive may be faulty. -
My Ipod Classic appears in My Computer when I connected it to my new Windows 8 pc. When Itunes starts my Ipod is no longer appears in My Computer and is not shown under Devices in Itunes. It appears that Itunes disconnects my Ipod from the pc. My Ipod still sync's up fine with Itunes on my old Windows XP pc.

My Ipod touch 8gb will not turn back on no matter what i do i have tried just the power button, the power button and home button, and connecting it to the computer and the battery wasn't close to being dead non of them work what do i do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times. When I connect my iPod Classic I get the following message: The software for this iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software. Any ideas?
Assuming you have windows, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

I have tried to disconnect my ipod nano from the computer and it continues to say that it is connected. I am afriad to unplug it because I did that a few minutes ago to try and fix it and I had to reset it. It was completely synced when i hit the eject button. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
Right click on the iPod Nano icon. "Eject" should pop up. At least that is the way it works on Macs.
