Ipod Classic Re-Formatted In Disk Utility Not Being Recognized
I last posted about this question 4 months ago on this forum and still havent received an answer that works. My Silver Ipod Classic 80GB was used to update the OS on my computer. Foolishly I partitioned the disk on it using disk utility and updated my computer. After i tried to erase the partition the ipod stopped being recognized as an ipod on my mac running OSX. It is recognized as a hard drive. I formatted it with Mac OSX extended Journaled in disk utility and nothing seems to work. When i plug it in itunes auto starts and pops up but the Ipod simply doesnt show up in the side bar. I have tried it on all different macs and windows computers and it still wont be recgonized on the mac. On the windows machine i am able to reformatt it so it works with a PC but when i plug it into a mac itunes autostarts and it still isnt recognized as an ipod
help would be greatly appreciated
i dono man, but I have exactly the same prob. if u wouldn't mind letting me know if you figure it out I will be happy to send u a quick message if I figure it out first
thanks

I need help. I have a Window's 8 computer and a 6th generation Ipod nano. I have reinstalled Itunes multiple times and have read all the troubleshooting ideas to do it, but my ipod is still not being recognized. This is not the first time I've plugged the Ipod in. I need help
This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

Help... my disks are not being recognized
i wonder if anybody could help me...
we have had our macbook pro for well over a year now, all of a sudden yesterday the laptop stopped recognizing any CD's or any disks of any kind.
This is starting to become a problem, i would greatly appreciate any ideas as to why the computer is doing this or anything i could possibly do to fix it.
Thankyou1. Try resetting your SMC.

2. Your laser pickup could be dirty. You can buy a cleaner disc for that.
3. It may be the media you're using, but it nothing is recognized, it may be hardware related.
4. Run your hardware tester.
5. Is your optical drive being recognized in your System Profiler?

Ipod classic 120 stuck in disk mode, not recognized by windows or itunes
so ive been havin tons of problems with my new ipod 120 classic
first one day when i plugged it in it told me it was corrupted and needed to be restored
then it would not restore
i formated it with windows but that didnt seem to do anything
the other night somehow i got it to the point of naming my ipod but after that, it stopped working again
for a while i couldnt even put it into disk mode
now, when it is plugged into the computer it is stuck in disk mode, yet not recognized by the computer or itunes
it makes the sound when i plug it in but never shows up
also, when its not plugged in, it starts up and just brings me to a screen that says use itunes to restore. but then i plug it in and it goes right to disk mode and do not connect, and isnt recognized
when i unplug it i can see it pop up on my computer for that one second i unplug it
ive tried this on a number of computers and it does the same thing
when i unplug it from being plugged into the computer it just sits in diskmode saying ok to connect
if i reset it by pressing center and menu, it just goes back to the use itunes to restore screen
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
apple should be ashamed of themselves for such a buggy product for so much money, and very very crappy service
any help greatly appreciated....but im prety sure ill be moving onto another product after this
luckily i am still under warranty so they offered for me to send it in....but then i am without music for about a week
i feel i should be compensated for that alone, aside from just fixing it for me
please help me fix this so i can get back to some tunes!
thanks for any info1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.

IPod Touch 4G 8GB charging perfectly, but not being recognized by Windows 7 OR iTunes?
Ipod touch charging, but not recognized by Itune or windowes, other divises are ( Iphone4 , Ipad) only my itouch is not... Should I reset it ?
Hi lllaass,
This looks like a very common problem.
I tried everything. Reset, Safe Mode, checked all cable, Apple Services from the dminstration tools.... other devises, like my Iphone and Ipad works perfectly.Only this itouch doesn't. If I reset all I will loss all my data since I can't back it up. It's jailbroken and it was wotking fine. Could it be software that I downloaded recently?I'm not sure it will work even if reset all. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. -

IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs
Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future. -
My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Hi
After upgrading to osx 10.9.3, my external hard drive was not able to mount, but it can be mounted without issue in osx 10.6, how do I solve it? it was formatted by disk utility.
Thanks
PTFrom the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock. -
My IPOD classic 160gb is continually shuffling and not playing
My IPOD classic 160gb is continually shuffling and not playing
Can you elaborate a little? Are you saying that iPod keeps randomly jumping to another song midway through another? There could be many reasons for this.
The first thing you should do is try a hard reset of the device. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Also try the troubleshooting mentioned here.

my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
any thoughts anyone??Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

This happened to me aswell, but it happened to me when I plugged it into the PC but same problem. what you have to do is move the 'Hold Switch' to put it on hold and then move it back again and then hold both the 'Menu button' and button in the middle of the click wheel. then it will turn off and then come up with the Apple logo and then it will work fine and you can try again. (P.S: If it doesnt show the Apple logo just try pressing any button

The last time I saw a similar problem to yours, he was also running Panther. I advised reinstalling the 10.3.9 combo update, and his woes were gone.

Another thought is to check System Preferences/CD's & DVD'S, and check your selection nuder "When you insert a blank CD" (or DVD).
Running Disk Utility from the install disk, and repairing permissions is also another possible fix.
