Ipod connects and disconnects automatically

... cant get it to stay connected. don't know why since it has been working perfectly fine until today. it is a recent buy though i've had it for about a week but i haven't had this problem in that time.
basically what happens is i plug it in, it automatically ejects it and it never shows up either on itunes or as hardware in itself on the computer.
can anyone help me out ?
Edit: also i don't know if this is of any extra help, but i have an ipod shuffle and that is still connecting fine.

Hi!
I had the same problem and here's how I managed to fix it.
First of all, my iPod did connect and iTunes opended the iPod management screen after which the iPod disconnected itself instantly.
If this is the case with your iPod you should restore the Ipod using the management screen by
1. check the enable disk use box.
2. click on the Restore button. The program will start looking for an iPod to restore.
3. quickly reconnect your iPod to the computer and restoring will start.
This worked for me. If it doesn't function try to do the same with the iPod set to disk mode.

IPod Classic won't sync to new computer and repeatedly connects and disconnects

i have recently been issued a new laptop (lenovo thinkpad X230i, windows 7) and want to sync my existing iPod Classic to it. i set up iTunes (11) without any problems, however my ipod t appear in My Computer or in my iTunes library.
I've tried everything suggested in 'iPod troubleshooting' but nothing seems to work.
also when i plugged it into my old computer, to which my ipod is currently synced, an error message appeared saying that 'a file could not be found', the iPod also repeatedly connects and disconnects.
if anyone has had the same problem or has some advice it would be greatly appreciated!

Sorted it now.

My ipod keeps connecting and disconnecting from the computer

I've tried everything, first my ipod kept displaying the folder with the exclamation mark, then a couple of days ago started working again. It then wouldn't play any songs and just kept skipping. So I plugged it into my computer to restore it so I could start again. Now its displaying the folder with the symbol again, and just keeps connecting and disconnecting all the time so I can't do anything to it. Keep trying the ipod updater but says it cant mount ipod.
Any ideas????

Hello all,
I've been experiencing the same problem, but have managed to get it sorted.... well sort of.
As Jen's problem, I had the exclamation mark and after unsuccessfully trying to update etc decided to leave it out of frustration.
A day or so later it started to work again, great!!!
A few days of problem free use then I got the sad Ipod screen.
After checking the website I've restored and I'm now a week later and still trying to get my music from Itunes onto my Ipod.
The problem now, once again very similar to Jen's is that my Ipod only seems to connect to my PC for period of time and then disconnects, sometimes updating a few songs.
I get different 'Unknown Error' messages usually -124.
I've tried with both USB and Firewire connections and even when my Ipod disconnects it still charges, so it's not the port at fault.
Can't help but think it's the actual Ipod which is causing me this hassle and musicless journeys!!!
Any ideas?

Ipod conects and disconnects

having problemswith a new ipod nano, it seems to connect and then disconnect, in a cycle of about 30 seconds. it worked 1 time to the point where it added songs, and now it will no do anything but this scrolling betwen connecting and disconnecting. this in on win xp itunes 4.9
help

as the last commentor stated, once the problem seems to be fixed, the next step of the problem is that transfering songs doesnt want to work either.
ive managed to get a playlist of 180 song on, and then completely off. and then add something like 5 cds, but now, the problem has presented itself again, and seems to not want to co-operate to let me add more music. this is getting frustrating!

Windows won't install USB device...infinite loop of connect and disconnect

I've been very happy with my Ipod purchases over the years but this one is the worst problem I have ever had. Purchased an 8gb Ipod Nano 3rd gen for the wife as a Xmas present and went to install it on my PC today but no luck whatsoever. The PNP manager seems to go into an infinite loop of connect and disconnect with the odd "Itunes has found a corrupt player ...." message but the device won't stay on the PC long enough as it promptly disconnects from the PC again!
My other 3 Ipods all connect and work quite happily on this PC, I've tried a few of the other "solutions" that seem to fix other "problems" but as the device does not stay connected for long enough I can't do anything with it!
Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it? If so, what did you do to correct the problem?
thanks
Marty

Thanks, tried that and much more - a very frustrating process.
I've just posted this on another thread...
I've tried unplugging everything and it still didn't work (I only have a USB printer, USB 1.1 hub and a USB phone connected). Funnily enough though connecting it to the USB 1.1 hub it works OK - go figure. Connecting directly to a USB 2 connector either on the front or rear panel and my PC goes into the connect/disconnect loop! My 1st and 2nd gen Ipod nano's and my Shuffle all happily connect to the USB 2 connectors on the front panel but the 3rd gen one does not want to know.
I think that Apple have got something seriously wrong here and it would be nice if it was acknowledged and a proper fix applied.

Problems when connecting and disconnecting MBP and TBD

Hello,
I have problems with connecting and disconnecting my macbook pro retina 13" to my thunderbolt display. Everytime I disconnect my MBP form my TBD with the lid closed it takes approximately 10 seconds until my MBP has recognized that the TBD is no longer connected and the MBP screens turns on.
On the other hand I also have a problem when I reconnect my MBP to my TBD. Approximately every second time my MBP does not recognize that the TBD is connected again and neither the MBP nor the TBD turns on. The small light on the power cabel of my TBD does not light up. It is as the TBD would'nt have any power. Pushing buttons on my Apple Bluethooth doesnt help. I have to disconnect and reconnect the thunderbolt and the power connector a coupl of times until the MBP finally recognizes the TBD and turns on. In some cases a different background picture is shown on the TBD than the one I usually have on my MBP.
The problem is very annoying especially because I connect and disconnect both devices and it really costs time.
I really hope there's someone who can help with the problem. Do you think this may be hardware problem of my MBP or TBD?
Thanks in advance for your help.

HI there,
The first thing I would recommend is checking for any new software updates while using the display, this will check for any available firmware updates for the display. If you continue to experience issues, then you may want to take a look at the article below for some further troubleshooting steps.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I have been unable to sync devices (specifically ipad mini and iphone 4s) to my MId 2013 Imac . They wil rapidly connect and disconnect, and I'm unable to do anything with the device. This happens with both USB ports. Any suggestions?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.1)

Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

My iphone 4s connects and disconnects (repeatedly) when connected to my computer

my iphone 4s connects and disconnects (repeatedly) when connected to my computer, it works perfectly fine when connected to regular chargers, everytime i connect it to my computer it shows the charging symbol and then disconnects and reconnects in less then a second, it will repeat this process forever unless disconnected, sometimes it works perfectly fine and most of the times it does the same thing, I know for a fact its not the wire because i recently bought an ipad mini with retina and its usb is new, it worked with the retina for a day or two and then it kept connecting and disconecting repeatedly, my computer is two months old and i have new hardware in that machine, is it a problem in the usb power fluctuation? i am currently using windows 8.1 and i need solutions, this is super annoying, all my other devices work perfectly fine with the usb ports, all my usbs (2.0 and 3.0) do the connecting and disconnecting sometimes it even works ,what is the problem?

IPhone 4s connects and disconnects from Windows 8

Apologies if this has been asked before as i'm sure it has but I can't find a solution.
I have a new HP Compaq laptop using USB 3.0, when I connect my IPhone 4s to my laptop it connects and disconnects every seconds, I've looked in the device manager and can't find anything to do with Apple in there.
Has anyone found a solution to this?

Every time I connect and disconnect my iphone/ipad windows vista opens windows media player in the background. It then hogs all of my cpu. Does this happen to anyone else?

I am running iOS 4.3.5 and this has been going on for months now. I need to keep my task manager open to kill the task when I connect and disconnect my iphone or ipad. It hogs all of my cpu, sometimes opening 2 or 3 windows media players.

Sorry, just to confirm, I DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION!
I replied to the previous message from my iphone and I managed to hit the link to "This has answered my question" by accident!
I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE ALSO NIW TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THE GREEN TEXT TGAT SAYS TGAT MY QUESTION IS ANSWERED? That is a pain! It should at least ask you to confirm that your question is actually answered and you didn't hit it by mistake, like I did!

Why does my iPad keeps connecting and disconnecting from the new late 2013 iMac

Hi there,
I've recently bought a new late 2013 iMac and ever since then I'm not able to connect my iPad 2 to it. When I do connect it keeps connecting and disconnecting again and again for some reason. The cable is fine and I've tried it with other devices. Just wondered why this is and whether you guys can help me out.
Thanks a lot!
CitizenJohnny

Hi,
I had the same problem and just found a solution. I tryed restoring all content and settings on the iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). It took lots of time, however it didn´t work because when I connected the iPad and iMac the problem persisted.
Then I thought it wasn´t an iPad problem but iMac OSX problem. So I searched the web for "Reinstall Mavericks" and found this http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13871?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
It also takes like 6 hours with my internet speed. Next day I connected the iPad and everything is just fine.
I described both processes because I don´t know if in the end the iPad reset helped in the solution.
Hope that helps! good luck
