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?!
I use Windows 8.1 (64-bit).
Thanks,
Mike

  • 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!

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

  • HT1510 My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. I have the original USB cord but when I plug it into my computer there is no recognition. The first time I plugged it in it recognized but never again.

    My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. It is flashing orange and when plugged in with the original USB cable nothing happens to show the computer recognizes it.

    Flashing orange usually means it is being recognized by the computer.  The flashing means do not disconnected, because the shuffle's "disk" is mounted.
    In iTunes (with the shuffle connected), when you look in the sidebar (left side of window), under DEVICES, the iPod is not shown there?  Does it say DEVICES in the sidebar?

    Hey MOIMC,
    Sorry to hear your computer isn't recognizing your iPod Touch when you plug it in. I was able to find two articles that might help you out:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    and

  • TS1410 iPod classic suddenly not recognized by iTunes

    My 30Gb Ipod suddenly is no longer recognized in iTunes on my MacBook Pro. And all the music on it appears to have been wiped clean. However when I plug it into a PC, the device is recognized as a portable hard drive that it wants to reformat. And iTunes does still sync fine with my iPhone and iPod Nano. Can anyone help with this please?

    Well, my 3rd gen iPod (that's so old it has to connect using FireWire), my 4th gen iPod (2004 model), and my 1st gen iPod shuffle (from 2005) all still work fine on my iMac with the latest iTunes.  Can't believe everything on the Internet... 
    If it looks like the iPod currently has no songs on it when you look on the iPod, you should probably do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes.  There may be data corruption on the iPod's hard drive.  This is done from the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install its software, and set it to default setting.
    Since the iPod is not being recognized by iTunes when connected, put the iPod into Disk Mode first

    Hopefully, iTunes will now see it.  It may say the iPod is in "Recovery Mode."  Try doing a Restore, if possible.

  • I Pod Classic is NOT being recognized and I get a "sick" IPOD icon on it

    What to do?? I can't restore it because it is not being recognized by itunes. It flashes a lightning bolt through the battery icon on the screen. Any ideas? Anyone? Bueler?

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
    iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    If you are getting the sad iPod icon this page may be of some help: iPod displays a sad iPod icon

  • TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

    My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
    Any suggestions?

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • IPod classic no longer being recognized by iTunes

    iPod classic version 2.0.4 is not showing up in my iTunes anymore. I can see it listed in my device manager under Other Devices as iPod with a yellow exclamation point, although I've followed the instructions in this article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and I get an error stating "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. The system cannot find the file specified."
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes already. I also have an iTouch 5th gen which is being recognized fine, the same iPod classic is being recognized on my laptop fine but my pc is what has all my music is.

    I am having the exact same problem.  My ipod has been stuck in disk mode for over two hours and now itunes is frozen.
