Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!

3G Clickwheel Ipod won't mount after update to ITunes 7.0

I recently updated to iTunes 7 and ever since my iPod won't mount. I can't see it on my desktop, and iTunes says the iPod is corrupt. I checked to make sure the Firewire port is working, and as far as I can tell, it is. I have tried to connect the iPod using both USB and Firewire, with the same result. I have also tried another Firewire cord, and that didn't work either.
I don't think the iPod is corrupt, because it was exactly after I updated to 7.0.1 that it stopped mounting. I thought 7.0.2 would resolve this issue, but it has not. The iPod works as it should when not connected to my computer.
I do NOT want to reload the iPod to factory settings, because over 1900 songs would be lost (my hard drive crashed last year, and this is the only place I have of many of these songs). This seems to be a known problem with the new version, but I don't know how to resolve it. Any suggestions?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have the identical problem with my Ipod & Imac. I haven't updated my Ipod for awhile, and although it works just fine independently, once I plug it into either my Imac or Ibook, the computer will not recognize it so I can't add new songs.The ipod doesn't show up in ITunes, in System Profiler, Disk Utility. I'm using Itunes 7.02 and judging from some other newsgroups I have read, there are many Ipod owners with this problem. I hope Apple gets it fixed soon.

160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device

same has happened to me, on and off, for the last 6 months. Its an issue with the Mavericks system and ipod classics. works great for a while - then one day for no reason - erases the entire iPod. some days the copmputer will not recognize the iPod and you have to start over. Apple will tell you that "you" may have a disc problem in the device. that is all the help I have received.

Time Capsule won't mount after upgrade to iTunes 9

See my full post in the Time Capsule support section ("Help! Time Capsule won't mount after installing iTunes 9"). My music library is on my Time Capsule, but after installing iTunes 9, it won't mount on my iMac G5. I can use the internet, but the disk won't mount. My Powerbook hasn't been updated yet and the Time Capsule mounts fine.

To make it easier, here's the post:
"My music library is on my 500 Gb Time Capsule. I just installed iTunes 9 on my iMac. It updated my library and synced my iPhone. Now, the TC won't mount. I still have internet connectivity, but I can't access my media or print to my printer connected to the TC. I can use the computer and everything, but if I hover my mouse over the TC disks menu bar icon, I get the spinning beach ball there. If I try to connect using my Network icon in the sidebar, it allows me to log in and get to the screen to select the volume I want to mount, then stops responding. In the Activity Monitor, AFP Client & AirPort Base Station Agent are not responding. I also have a Powerbook G4 w/Leopard (10.5.8) which hasn't been updated to iTunes 9 yet. The Time Capsule mounted fine on it."

Cd's won't burn after update to iTunes 6

New poster here (but have been reading for months).
I am an official idiot. Backround: After much stress, I solved my burn problms that started after updating to iTunes 5, thanks to this forum. I went from the error at the very end of the burn to at least being able to burn very slowly.
Finally updated to version 6, after reading here that nothing changed about burning from v5 to v6, and thinking I'd waited long enough that the bugs would be out of v6-- HA!
Now I can't burn at all --itunes hangs up right after reading the tracks. I can hear the disc spin then stop completely.Help!

I'm suddenly having burning problems also. Was working fine and will burn using other programs so I don't think it's the drive. I can click to start burning a playlist, it runs through checking the playlist, checks all of the songs, then the entire program freezes. It doesn't give an error message to help me figure out the problem. Not trying to burn songs from iTunes store, just my own compilation. Using the same disks I always have.

IPod classic won't sync after Sleep until G4 restarted

I've got an *80GB iPod Classic* (sw ver 1.1.2) that *won't sync* with my G4 Quicksilver (10.4.11) *after the computer wakes up from sleep*. If I restart the computer, I can sync with no problem, and I can disconnect the iPod and sync as many times as I like +as long as the computer doesn't go to sleep.+
My iPod is connected via a *Belkin USB 2.0 5-port PCI expansion card*. I can't remember the model number of this card, but I know a similar one would not permit my computer to wake up from sleep when it was installed.
I've consulted http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24639 and know some PCI expansion cards provoke sleep issues with the G4, but there's no specific information on what issues or which cards. The solution offered in the kb article won't work for me, either, as the Quicksilver's built-in USB is 1.0 (i.e. slow).
*Have I diagnosed the problem correctly* -- is the problem with the Belkin USB 2.0 expansion card?
If so, *is there a similar USB 2.0 card out there that doesn't induce sleep problems* (i.e. disk mounting problems after the computer wakes up)?

is itunes open when it goes to sleep? is the ipod plugged in when it sleeps? does unplugging & plugging in again the ipod make a difference?

External Buffalo HD won't mount after update to 10.5.7.

As the title suggests, I have a 250 GB Buffalo external HDD connected to my mac mini (2009). I did the update via software update & after the restart the external HDD won't mount. Any ideas anyone please?

Not exactly a Buffalo drive, but my problem seems very similar, and I'm convinced it occurred after a recent operating system update.
I have a Tascam DP-01FX that I use infrequently and that functions perfectly. I have used the USB connection to transfer files back and forth to three computers; and old G4 Mac (now out of commission), a new iMac (running OS 10.5.8, and an old Dell Inspiron 5000 (running Windows XP). The last time I tried to connect it to the iMac, the System profiler indicated it was connected, but it never mounted on the desktop, and it could not be made to appear in Disk Utility. I tried all varieties of connection; through a high speed hub, directly to the computer (with ALL other USB devices disconnected including the keyboard), etc. I zapped the computer's PRAM, verified and repaired permissions on the system drive. I even unplugged the computer and everything connected to it for half an hour, then reconnected and zapped the PRAM again. Nothing I've done will make the Tascam device mount on the desktop. However, it mounted with no problems on the old Dell Inspiron 5000. The kicker is that I've successfully and easily used the DP-01FX on the iMac on a previous occasion. All this leads me to believe there is something in an Apple software update that is causing this problem. All other USB devices work flawlessly, including an external hard drive that I only use for special projects about once a week. It mounts and un-mounts without any problems. This has got to be an Apple "oops."

Please help- Audio Cd won't mount after Update to 10.3.9

My CD/DVD drive is MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8122. Data CDs and DVDs are mounting fine. However when I put in an audio cd it clicks a few times and soonafter ejects. Everything was fine as far as I can remember before my update to 10.3.9 (from 10.3.5, I think). I've done the list of suggestions in some of the posts (deleting preferences and cache files, permissions, pram zap) but there's no change. Please help!

broom-z...
"And here's what's REALLY wacky- audio CDs created on a computer (non-store bought) mount fine AND launch itunes just like normal. And the CD track names are retrieved and all that. It's only with the manufactured Audio CDs that I get this click-click - small purr- click- eject. This is any manufactured Audio CD, old or brand new."
Hummmm--- I wonder if you are purchasing any of those copy protected audio CDs? It is the only thing I can think of that can cause that.
...Ron
PS... On the other hand all this happened after an update??? Puzzling!

Time Machine EHD won't mount after update to 10.6.7

I recently upgraded to OS X 10.6.7. Yesterday, my Time Machine backup failed and the LaCie EHD that I use for my backups won't mount anymore. My husband was able to see the EHD on his PC, so I don't think it's a problem with the drive. I suspect that it has to do with the OS update. Any suggestions?

If you have a desktop computer: Unplug it from the outlet and anything plugged into the firewire/usb ports, leave it that way for 45 seconds minimum check it again and see if it mounts in disk utility
If you have a laptop do one of these two steps and post back if it mounts:
Removable battery: Remove battery, disconnect charger(power adapter), hold down power button for 5 seconds, put back in battery should resolve
Embedded (non removable) battery: plug in the power adapter/charger, turn off computer, hold down on the LEFT side of the keyboard Shift-Control-Option. While your holding all of these press the power button once, let go of just the power button. Two seconds or so later let go of the rest of the buttons, you'll know this step was successful if it didn't turn on.
If it doesn't or does show up also post back your answer to this:
Click on the Apple icon in the top left hand corner, click on About This Mac, click on More Info. Then Click on Firewire or USB (Depending what type of connection your EXHD has) if you see it in the right it's a recognized device, just not mounting, give me a heads up whether you do or don't see it there.

6th Gen. 160GB iPod Classic won't mount on 10.4.11

Hi,
I'm desperate for a solution! Would somebody please help me!
Here is my problem:
I have a 6th Generation 160GB iPod Classic that will no longer mount onto my PPC G4 10.4.11.
On this iPod I have a few thousand photos of a trip to Mexico that I kept on here until I returned home to sync them.
The other day, I started synching them into iPhoto 6.0.6, and it was working fine for the first half, but stalled around the middle. I could not find any way to get the synching process to continue or to quit / force quit the program successfully. Force quit did not actually terminate the process/program. I know at the time it was a mistake, but I unplugged the iPod cable from the iPod and held the computer's power button until it shut off.
Today, when plugging the iPod back into the computer:
1) it no longer mounts (though the iPod partition is viewable (grayed out) in Disk Utility.
2) because it does not mount in Disk Utility (I've tried many times including a separate iPod restart) it is also not viewable in Finder or in Terminal.
3) The iPod Settings Display that it is completely empty (though I know the files are still on there).
4) iPhoto recognized that there were more photos that still needed to be synched and asked if I wanted to continue, which I'm not able to do.
5) iTunes 8.0.2 tells me that I need to restore my iPod (which I can't do because I need these files, and can't erase them off of the iPod).
Does anybody know a workaround to save these files, which are extremely important to me, and cannot be erased under any circumstances? I would be extremely grateful for any help!
Please Help Me!
Thanks.

deggie,
thanks for responding.
just to let you know, I had the same problem before (when my iPod was brand new), but the problem was just with media already in my iTunes Library, so I tried to restore a bunch of times, and that didn't work. At the time, I had Apple Care, so I brought it to a Genius to restore. When I arrived home, it still wouldn't sync, but one last restore in my iTunes, and I got it working fine again. Ridiculous!
This time, I have already tried the iPod disk mode / Diagnostic mode, as -well-as connecting on a new user computer account (same computer), and on a different computer using a different iPod cable. All of this yielded the exact same results. The USB drive is detected (such as dev/disk2), but the iPod partition (dev/disk2s2) is grayed out in Disk Utility and is not accessible.
The closest luck I've had so far is downloading/installing the demo of Disk Rescue II, which produced a "thorough scan" of the entire drive (one block at a time). I was able to see somewhere between half to most of my files on there, and am not sure about the remaining undetected files. The demo only let me restore a single 5MB file, but am at least assured that most of it should be able to be recovered once I pay for the full version.
I am, however, interested to understand why some of my files were not recognizable. For example, during a class, I had a bunch of 100MB-400MB .wav files recorded with a Belkin TuneTalk Stereo Microphone that connects via the iPod Dock connector. The majority of these files I moved into a separate folder I created on the iPod as a way to organize them. Those files were either not discovered, or somehow not viewable in the Data Rescue II scan results. The last couple of files I recorded with the mic (and did not move elsewhere on the iPod) interestingly were automatically synced and playlisted in my iTunes (I did not tell it to sync), and are still playable on my iPod. Also, I may be wrong, but I don't believe all of my photos were detected by Data Rescue II. It seems like many random photos from each photo folder I created on my iPod were missing/not detected/not viewable, so at first glance it might appear like they all show up, but the file count doesn't look correct. I was expecting more files to be detected than there were. To my knowledge the Scanning between Demo version/full version should be the same, so I can only speculate until I buy the full version/restore to see which files I'm dealing with.
I would love to hear any other thoughts/ideas/solutions.
No doubt this iPod is getting restored (possibly at an apple store) when this is all done. From now on, I'm doing everything possible to backup on DVD's while on trips. I can't trust my iPod alone to be a dependable backup. This is unnacceptable!

Ipod Touch won't sync after updating iTunes

I updated my iTunes and now my ipod touch will not sync, it says that the ipod is synced with another iTunes library when it is not, is there a way to get it to sync?

With all the synced media like apps and music in your iTunes library do the following:
- Make a backup in iTunes by:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The above link includes that restore from backup instructions.
Somehow updating iTunes caused iTunes/iPod to think it was not synced to this library. That happens sometimes.

80gb classic won't reboot after update

Apple sent a update notice for my ipod, downloaded as instructed, waited as required for the ipod to reboot. The unit keeps cycling on from the glowing apple screen to a black screen, unable to reboot. I have tried the hold buttone and the reset by pressing menu and select at the same time...same deal. Can't see the ipod on my computer any more or in itunes.
Any insights?

IPod Classic won't Restore and FREEZES/LOCKS iTUNES! Help.

Hi. First, the specifics:
I have an iPOD Classic (120GB).
I have Windows Vista R2 (64-bit).
I have the latest version of iTunes, yes, for 64-bit.
With that out of the way, I started seeing issues with my iPod not being able to play certain songs. I'd find the song, hit the play arrow, nothing would happen. The time would not move, song would not play. Here's what I've tried to do initially:
Re-install iTunes, re-sync.
Still wouldn't play these songs.. Not all, but many songs.
So, I tried to Restore.
Initially, it looked like it was restoring properly - - but took way longer than usual. Like 2 hours. At the end, I got an error "Could not sync this song, Could not sync iPod."
I looked at iPod, had to set it up, choose ENGLISH as language, etc. Search iPod, found NO MUSIC, NO VIDEOS, etc.
Tried simply re-syncing, wouldn't work.
So, I disconnected, restarted my computer and tried to RESTORE again.
I connect it via a USB 2.0 and the iPod cable. I have been doing this for years and years and this iPod has worked for the 3 years I have had it.
I have had iPod since their inception, so I'm not a rookie. I also have an iPhone and an iPad2.
So I connect the iPod as usual. NOW, it basically FREEZES iTunes. I CONTL-ALT-DEL and find it's always iTunes (NOT RESPONDING).
This happens EVERY TIME... I tried restarting several times, same issue.
So, I unistalled all components of iTunes > RESTART COMPUTER.
I re-download the latest version of iTunes, yes the correct one.
I tried syncing or restoring. DOESN'T RECOGNIZE iPOD, FREEZES/LOCKS iTUNES.
HERE'S OTHER THINGS I have tried:
RESTORING from DISK MODE. (DID NOT WORK, LOCKS iTUNES)
I downloaded the Windows Update for Vista that helps not corrupt iPod when disconnecting too early.
Downloaded update, did NOT help with the issue.
Un-installed iTunes again. Restarted computer. Re-installed newest version of iTunes.
ONE THING TO POINT OUT, when I connect my iPod, iTunes launches if not open and I get a WINDOWS box that says:
MICROSOFT WINDOWS:
Do You Want To Scan And Fix Errors on Steven's iPod (L:) ??
I tried both options: YES, Try to Fix, NO - Continue
That doesn't work, and iTunes still freezes regardless of option.
Again, tried DISK MODE, tried Regular mode...
Nothing works...
PLEASE HELP...

Guys, if you all having the same problem as Steven, then do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Main cause is the iPod Hardisk is dying, but if the DD report are good, then it is the USB connection timeout.
So have a go at the Disk Diagnostic first.

IPod Classic Won't Connect to Computer or iTunes

My iPod Classic 160GB started to stop showing up both in Finder and on iTunes a few weeks ago. If I connect it to a wall charger then it will still charge, so I'm fairly sure it's not a problem with the cable dock or anything. I've literally tried every suggestion I could find, but nothing has worked so far. The iPod still plays music fine, but it won't sync with iTunes or show up at all in Finder.
I've already tried resetting it (both while connected to the computer and not) and switching USB ports (it didn't work on another computer's USB ports either). I've tried everything listed on Apple's recommended solutions to this problem. I'm mostly resigned to having to get a new device, but I wanted to check and see if anyone else had any other possible solutions. Once again, I have tried all the basic troubleshooting problems, so please don't give me those. I would appreciate any help you guys can offer, thanks!

I have this problem too please help.
