Ipod disconnects automatically when connecting to Windows?

Running on XP, With an ipod classic, whenever i plug in my classic it always says "Connected, Do not disconnect" for a few seconds and then shows the "Ejecting" Screen and says "OK To disconnect" with the little bar at the bottom and then goes back to the home screen, yet still charges.(Due to the little charge symbol in the battery sign. Can anyone help?

I have a problem which seems to have been raised often but not solved. Have a 120gb Classic and connect to PC and laptop using Windows XP pro. Laptop works fine. When connected to PC, connection bubble appears and then computer re-sets. Uninstalled Itunes software with Revo uninstaller and again, when I connect the IPOD to a USB port, computer crashes. I can run any other peripheral through USB's without a problem.
Guess it's a USB problem. Anyone any ideas please?

IPod restarts itself when connecting to Windows

I've been having this problem very often over the past few weeks when I connect my iPod it will flash twice and then restart itself. I figured maybe running the error check that windows has in the properties of the drive might work, but nothing changed. It continues to happen.
Also (this problem was already reported, but I will reiterate the situation) the iPod will say it's connected, but iTunes shows it as not being connected. In addition, I can't eject it from Windows Explorer because it says the iPod is currently in use by another application. So I'm therefore forced to pull the plug on the iPod and then it disconnects as normal (which makes no sense, flaw?)

IPod Acting Strange When Connected To Windows / Songs Also Cut Short

Hi,
I am using the latest iTunes version with Vista and have an 80Gb iPod Video.
In the last few weeks, I rebuilt my PC from scratch.
I currently have some problems with my iPod and would be most grateful if someone could please assist me. Here’s the details….
Whenever I connect my iPod to my PC, I get a Windows message popping up asking if I want to “Scan and Fix”. Any ideas why this is happening and how this should be resolved? I also find that when ejecting the iPod in iTunes, I still can’t remove it until I go into Explorer and select Safely Remove. Could this be a driver problem – how can I be sure to be using the correct driver for my iPod?
Also, when the iPod is playing (not connected to computer), some songs are cut short. There doesn’t appear to be any pattern to which ones cut. They play ok in iTunes.
Finally, is there something (apart from un-ticking the Enable Disk Use check box in iTunes) that you need to do to get an iPod out of disk mode. Mine was in disk mode a few weeks ago, but since then I have done a restore and the check box is no longer ticked – does a restore / reset take the iPod out of disk mode? – (I originally put it in disk mode to try and do a defrag). Since the iPod still appears in Windows Explorer, I was wondering if it is in fact still in disk mode (even although according to iTunes, it isn’t).
I have tried all the reset stuff, but still no joy!
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
Neil

My Ipod touch 2nd gen will not sync for some reason to itunes. I've tried almost every possible solution I can find on the internet. The ipod charges fine when connected and Windows also recognizes it as a device but itunes refuses to. What should I do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the reply. Your answer crossed my mind but I havent downloaded songs in a while so I never paid attention to whether it was syncing or not. However, in my sync history I see that it successfully synced 3 months ago....

5th Gen iPod freezes on "Do Not Disconnect" screen when connected to Mac

My iPod freezes on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen (partially backlit) when I plug it into my computer. I have a G4 eMac with standard USB connections. The ipod firmware is up to date.
This freeze doesn't occur ALL the time....just occasionally. The iPod does not appear on my desktop or in iTunes when this happens. I have to wait until the iPod discharges its battery completely before I can use it again (this sometimes takes a couple of days!).
Does anyone have any ideas? Or is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks....

Thanks for the replies.........I can't seem to find a solution to this....its annoying to say the least. Its just happened again this morning, though it's successfully sync'd on the last few occasions....it seems to be quite random.
One thing I've noticed is that it synced OK when iTunes wasn't open when I plugged it in. It appeared on the desktop, then I opened iTunes. This morning though it froze when iTunes was already open, so there may be an issue with iTunes (I updated this weekend to see if it was any different with the new version). I guess this will happen if you've got the ipod set to open iTunes automatically when connected too.
So, no solutions as yet.......I'm gonna get onto Apple to see if they have any answers. I'll get back to you all on this one.
PS: why no firewire capabilities on the new ipods?

IPod Freezes on when connected

Hi Guys-
Lately, my iPod has been freezing on the 'do not disconnect' stop sign screen whenever I connect it to my Mac and is not recognized. I just restart it and it always seems to work on the 2nd try. I'm running the latest version. Any ideas on why it keeps freezing? Thanks.

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?

How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer?

How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer? The button to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked, and iTunes opens automatically, but it no longer syncs automatically as it did before the last update. Now I have to hit the "Sync" button each time; much less convenient as I have to frequently update my calendar.

On my iTunes at the top menu, in the Edit drop down menu, at the bottom is Preferences, click that, then pick icon Devices. Then in the middle there are check boxes, one has Prevent ipods,iPhones, ipads from syncing automatically. Try to leave this box empty. See if this helps.

IPod mini doesn't connect in Windows after doing an Update

Please help!
I promised to put some music om my friend's iPod (1st generation) from my computer. When I connected it with my computer, i first did a new update. After that the problems began!! After completing the update the ipod showed a picure of an adapter, so i connected the iPod (2 days ago) to the adapter. But now, after reading of the internet about updating a 1st generation iPod, the logo still shows on the screen!! When i disconnect the iPod, it doesn't respond on anything but a reset, but when i reset it, i still get the picture of an adapter on the screen!!
I've tried all the 'solutions' that are written on the Apple website, but they didn't help. And i still can't RESTORE the iPod, because my computer doesn't recognize the iPod anymore AT ALL!!
My own iPod (2e generation) still works on Windows and is recognized everytime, but after the update my friend's iPod just doesn't get recognized on my computer!!
Can somebody please help me to get a solution for this problem?!

Uninstall ipod and reinstall from the disk provided with ipod

IPod Click Wheel - problems connecting to windows.

I have a 20gb Click Wheel - my ipod keeps freezing when I try to copy my music library to it and then it says do not disconnect for hours until the battery dies out, it also over heats. My computer isn't registering the iPod at all and neither is itunes today itunes came up with what I think were japanese symbols across the window when the ipod was connected. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem. I've tried reinstalling the software for the ipod, I've tried restoring the ipod, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the updates and reinstalled windows but still no luck. Please can someone help.

I have the same ipod and im having the same problems
but mines I can't install the software after
restoring tried everything
Are you finding that when you connect the ipod and run the restore its showing the ipod to be a u2 ltd edition ipod because mine won't show the correct ipod type. I'm trying to find a contact email address for apple support but no luck.

Error message when connecting to Windows

I have a newer Ipod, 4g, that Im trying to connect to Windows. I d/l the latest version of Itunes and installed but when I connect the Ipod, it says it has detected an Ipod in recovery mode and I will need to restore etc. I first did the restore and update as it said. It gave a message that it was successful but then the error message came back up. I looked online and it suggested I reset the Ipod itself, which I did but the message still comes up. Is there any fix to this or does it need to be sent in? The unit is just about new, no songs on it yet. It belongs to a friend of my daughter who asked me to put some songs on it for her.

I have the same problems. Also I sent my ipod to repair but nobody find anything. The only possibility to snyc is: Switching off pc, connect ipod with pc, starting pc and itunes and now I can sync. But after a while itunes comes up with the same error massage (recovery mode). I think some service from itunes or ipod does not start correct, but I do not know which one.
Has anybody an idea?

G3 click-wheel iPod suddenly janky when connecting to iTunes

Starting Monday(7/9), my reliable G3 20GB iPod all of a sudden had a hard time connecting to iTunes.(v7.3.0.?) Whenever I connect to Windows, it took a long time recognizing the iPod and even when Windows recognized it, iTunes took even longer. Eventually, iTunes would either crash or recommend reformatting the iPod. Even after doing so, it would still have difficulties, making iTunes/Windows stall. Once in awhile, connection would be successful, in which case the syncing would be problematic.(I listen to a lot of Podcasts)
I made an appointment at the Genius Bar on Tuesday(7/10) and they were no help. Eventually, they concluded that my iPod is dead and that I should just get another one. I walked out with my G3, looking like someone whose puppy had just died.
Today, I got an auto-update notice for a new update to iTunes.(v7.3.1.3) Once I did this, my iPod connected fine(after another round of reformatting) and no problems syncing.
So if anyone has had a similiar problem this week, I have a sneaky suspicion that it was related to the first version of iTunes that was released in preparation for iPhone. Maybe the new update released today fixed some bugs? Who knows. I just wanted to share in case this is helpful to some of you.
Long live my old iPod!

My iPod Classic is also sticking in verify then iTunes freezes. This only happened after iTunes was updated to 9.2. According to CCleaner's registry check, two problems appear - both are missing TypeLib References; the IUserHelper and the IiPodManagerUI. I can only assume that the latest iTunes is causing the trouble because of these missing files. This led to me completely reinstalling iTunes yesterday, but all that achieved was to empty my iPod and leave me library-less. The only way around it I can see is to wait for a new iTunes update. A real pain.
