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?

  • 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!!

    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.

  • IPod Classic won't sync to PC

    My iPod Classic won't sync with iTunes on  my PC. An error message is received stating that there is not enough memory available to sync, but I have 101 GB free on the iPod. I'm using iTunes Version 10.6.3.25 on a PC with the Vista operating system.The iPod operating system is 2.0.1 PC.

    It sounds like your PC may be too low on memory (RAM) or Hard Drive in for the iPod to sync properly with iTunes.  Try rebooting your PC to see if that helps.  Then run only iTunes and try to resync your iPod.

  • My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not.  Current software on Mac and iPod.

    First try to resolve #2 by:
    See
    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 Featurs appin 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
    If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

  • IPod Classic won't sync to Mac

    My iPod Classic 160 GB won't sync to Mac snow leopard, running iTunes 10.5.1. It was fine until I tried to mount my Mom's iPad2 and her iPod Classic 80 GB so that I could load content onto her devices.  Note: both her devices are attached to my iTunes account, so loading content from my account is legit, even though it apparently sent my own iPod into a tailspin.
    Now, even in disk mode, iTunes won't recognize the iPod.  It simply shows up on the desktop.  I have tried the four or five "Rs", but as the device doesn't show in iTunes AT ALL, I cannot restore it.  The iPod-based reset solves nothing.
    I purchased my current iPod a few months ago to replace an older iPod classic which gave up the ghost after exhibiting some of this behavior.
    Help!

    Someone please help me before I go potty!
    I am having a similar problem to "Bluebell"'s. Suddenly over the last couple of weeks my iPod Classic 160GB (which has been working fantastically since I bought it 2 years ago) has been acting up. Without going into the total history, the result is that now, when connected (and even though the window on the iPod tells me the device is connected), the iPod icon does not show on the desktop of either of my Macs nor does the iPod show up in iTunes. I have reset the iPod dozens of times and searched high and low on Google for helpful suggestions, but with no luck.
    I breathed a sigh of relief when I read your suggestion, Bilbo_cheshire, and tried it immediately, but sadly it doesn't work. This is what Disk Utility tells me:
    Verify and Repair volume “Nigel & Lau's iPod”
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Invalid sibling link
    Rebuilding Catalog B-tree.
    The volume Nigel & Lau's iPod could not be repaired.
    Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
    I can see that Disk Utility gives me the options of "Erase" and "Restore". Should I take either of those routes?

  • Ipod classic won't sync with Itunes

    Help! Since the time change, neither my Iphone 3G nor Ipod classic will sync with Itunes.
    I unplugged Iphone after receiving can not sync messages. Plugged back in & Itunes did a restore. However, upon starting to sync, message re-appeared that it could not sync. I unplugged Iphone and it is still functional.
    However, when tried to sync Ipod, syncing continued overnight (about 12 hours). When I awoke this morning, PC was frozen and had to hard boot it. I then went back into Itunes and Itunes did not recognize that my Ipod was connected. I ran diagnostics and it failed at recognizing Ipod. Ipod is frozen with message "Connected, Eject before disconnecting' and is not functional. I have sent diagnostics to Apple and am waiting to here from them. However, thought I'd check here to see if anyone else had encountered this issue. I am totally lost without my Ipod and can not run or workout until repaired. That may sound silly. But it really helps me mentally through workouts.

    Update: OK! I am not sure what happened because I have tried this all morning. I held down the menu key on Ipod for about the 12th time. This time it rebooted. Ipod is functioning and appears that it did sync. However, I am not yet confident about connecting it to Itunes. I may wait until I am ready to purchase more tunes in a few weeks. LOL.

  • IPod Classic won't sync and crashes iTunes. Suggestions?

    Hi, hopefully someone can help me!
    I have a 80GB iPod classic for 3/4 years, never had any syncing issues until now that weren't fixable by a reset.
    However a few days ago I was at my parents' house and charged my iPod using their computer. The first time there was the standard message "This iPod is synced with another library" etc etc but subsequently it crashed iTunes. It was recognised by the computer as a portable media device, all the normal folders were there etc.
    Now that I'm with my regular laptop, I'm having the same issues but have realised that the iPod won't sync. It crashes iTunes when it's connected and when I disconnect the iPod, should iTunes works but it displays the message: "The iPod cannot be synced. The required folder could not be found"
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've tried updated my iTunes software and resetting the iPod (pushing menu and centre), but neither has had an effect.
    Edit: I should add that since charging the iPod on the other computer, I have also had issues with the click wheel, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    Thanks in advance!

  • IPod Classic won't sync or go into Disk Mode.

    My iPod suddenly decided to now work, and displays a red cross (X) on the screen. I looked up what to do, and apple.com told me to set to disk mode. I spent a few minutes reading it and looking up tutorial videos on how to do it, and mine will not cooperate. I hold down the Menu and Center button until the screen goes black, then I'm supposed to hold down the center/Play button after the screen fades, but the screen doesn't fade for that long and goes back to the cross. I'm just trying to get it to read in my Windows XP so I can restore it.

    Hi, did you ever find a fix for this? My iPod Classic has just done the exact same thing - red X, won't be detected on Windows, and won't go into disk mode (will go into Config mode, but I can't see anything in that mode that will help).
    Would really like to be able to put this into disk mode so I can try to restore my files...

  • New iPod Classic won't sync

    My son bought me an iPod Classic for Christmas, since he has one himself, and set it all up for me, set up iTunes, etc.  However, no matter what I do, it won't sync with my iTunes.  I have been through all the resetting, restarting, etc, etc.  The PC recognises it as an iPod, so there are no physical connectivity problems.  iTunes recognises it as a device, because it has an icon top right saying iPod, and the eject feature works.  However, the sync option is greyed out on the file menu.  I have gone through all the guides about devices and everything is ok.  I get a status of Connected, and it says it's syncing for a few seconds, but it won't copy any songs, despite being set to sync on connection.
    Any help gratefully received.

    Finally, after about 4 hours of trying, I think I've cracked it.  I eventually chose Reset the iPod, and it has now decided to start syncing.

  • IPod Classic won't sync entire iTunes Library

    My iPod Classic 160GB won't sync any new songs that i have put into iTunes. When selecting sync entire library it only shows 2066 songs, when there is actually 2543 in my library. iTunes is iTunes version 12.0.1 running 10.10.2. Anyone help?

    There are many solutions posted for this issue. Sadly, none work. They may APPEAR to work initially but after a short time, the issue will return. It's a software problem and Apple doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry to correct.

  • My iPod Classic won't sync--I keep getting error messages.

    I have an iPod Classic (Late 2009) that's about a year and a half old. It just started refusing to sync with iTunes. I have a PC, and when I plug the iPod in, the computer wants to scan and fix the iPod. Whether I let it or not--I've done it both ways, multiple times--when I open iTunes, iTunes says I need to restore my iPod. It restores without glitching. But when I try to re-sync my library, I get 200-400 songs in and get an error message that a specific song can't be synced because of "error [numerical error]." I've seen "Error -50" a lot, but not always. It doesn't always get stuck on the same song, artist, or album--just somewhere in the B's, something goes wrong. At the beginning, I was seeing a "duplicate file" error message, but I haven't seen it the last 5-7 times I've gone through the restore-resync process.
    I've tried manually managing the content, but the same thing happens. If it doesn't get stuck on a song, it'll say "Finishing Sync" for ages--until I have to force-quit iTunes and manually eject the iPod.
    I have reinstalled iTunes--not 100%, but using their "find and replace faulty parts" option. I have an iPhone, and it syncs with no problem, and I my iTunes library itself is functioning totally normally. However, iTunes freezes a lot when I'm trying to fix this problem with my iPod, including when I first plug it in. I've had to force-quit iTunes multiple times because of this.
    This all started because my iPod was skipping from about 10 seconds into one song to the next in the playlist. I figured something was wonky with the last sync, so I went to restore my iPod. When I plugged it in, I noticed that there was a software update, so I did that--I can't remember if I restored, then did the update, or the other way around. But nothing has worked since then.
    It must be a problem with the iPod itself that the restore just isn't erasing, but I'm not sure where that leaves me. Help?

    This could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • Ipod classic won't sync with iTunes 10.4

    My ipod classic 160 does not want to sync with the latest iTunes update(s).  The same thing happened with the last update about a month ago.  How do I fix this?  The last time I put the ipod in disc mode and that seemed to work.  But it isn't working this time.  Any suggestions?  Anyone know why this keeps happening?
    Thanks.

    Hi Pharmer
    I had the same problem and finally found out it was the Spotlight in Lion that was causing the issue of the sync failing as its trying to do two things at once. At least thats what it has been for me.
    By going to System Prefs > Spotlight > Privacy and adding the iPod to the list I was able to stop Spotlight indexing the iPod every time I attached it to my machine and thus stopping it from being able to sync.
    You can check if its doing it by attaching your ipod then clicking on the spotlight in the top right. If its indexing it will tell you.
    Hope this helps you out
    Update: This worked to get my iPod full of stuff. Next time I tried, it won't sync, so back to square one...

  • Ipod classic won't sync with itunes 11 anymore

    My ipod 160gb classic died from a low battery, so i connect it to my computer, and then a strange white screen with a exclamation mark pop up saying 'do not disconnect', and then itunes suggested me to restore it, taking precaution, i went ahead and did that, but now itunes won't sync music to my ipod anymore, i think it has something to do with enable disk use being checked, but it won't let me uncheck it, i don't know what to do, someone please help!

    Unclick Manually Manage Music and Videos, which is right above Enable Disk Use.  You can then click on Enable Disk Use.  I had the same problem as you and that fixed it.
