Ipod disconnects immediately after being connected to computer

Every time I plug my iPod into my computer it says "Connecting" then it says "Ejecting" and then "OK to disconnect"! WHY????? It does not show up in the sidebar in iTunes, and it does not show up in My Computer.
I have plugged it into every USB port on my computer, none of them worked
I have already updated iTunes.
I have already put the iPod in disk mode.. that did NOTHING.
I know it's not a problem with my USB ports, because other devices work JUST FINE in them
I know it's not an issue with the USB cable because I plugged my iPod into another computer and my iPod did not disconnect right after being connected
PLEASE help me get my iPod to work on this computer. And I don't want answers telling me to use the other computer. My Library is on THIS computer. Not only that, iTunes doesn't even work on the other computer.

  • Need Help! Ipod disconnects immediately after I connect it.

    When I plug my 80 GB Ipod classic into my Windows PC it will connect and then immediately eject my ipod. I have tried multiple ports and Ipod usb cords and it still has this problem can someone please help me solve this?

    Have you tried to reset the ipod by pressing the menu and select buttons at the same time until the apple logo shows then connecting it?
    You could also try putting it into disk mode first, instructions are in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372

  • IPod is automatically disconnecting immediately after initially connecting

    iPod Classic with 160GB memory
    currently has about 105GB loaded
    While it generally seems to be working well to play music etc, when I open iTunes on my computer and then try to connect the iPod to the computer so that I can add new music etc., it first goes through the normal process of synching but, as soon as that process is complete, it immediately starts the ejecting process all by itself. After the iPod indicates that it is has completed the ejecting process and that it is okay to disconnect, however, the iTunes on the computer still shows the iPod as connected and lists all of the songs, etc., but you cannot play any of them.
    This happens on both my home computer and on my office laptop computer this morning. (Both are PC's and both have iTunes set to manually manage my music.)
    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Hmm. Well, since the problem happens on both computers, the problem more than likely lies with the iPod itself. The iPod's software may have become corrupt in some way and may need to be restore via iTunes. Keep in mind that restoring will erase all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on at least one of your computers. However, that is not a guaranteed fix and I don't think you really feel like reloading all 105 GB of music on it.
    Maybe try manually putting the iPod into Disk Mode while connected and see if that helps the iPod stay connected and mounted properly.

    Other than that, I don't know of any other way to handle this situation and am out of ideas or potential solutions. Maybe try completely uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing. (There is a link right that the beginning of the document if you have Vista)

  • My iPod classis is not recognized by my Macbook and self-ejects immediately after being plugged in?

    Hello,
    I have an iPod classic and I am using a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Since the last iTunes update i have not been able to connect my iPod to iTunes. I have tried both USB ports and it still won't work. The iPod ejects itself immediately after being plugged in. The usb ports are working, I've tried an iPod touch and an iPhone 4s, so that doesn't seem to be the issue either. Appreciate any help!

    Have you tried walking it into the nearest Apple Store and asking for assistance there...?
    I'm guessing you don't have Apple Care on it.

    When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.
    You may need to recalibrate your battery.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

  • HT201412 My iPhone 4S stops charging a few seconds after being connected to the USB, it will, however, charge when it is switched off.

    iPhone stops charging a few seconds after being connected to a USB slot, it will charge when switched off is I think it must be a software issue.

    HAve you tried using a different power chord? If the power chord is not the issue, it could be the power supply inside your mac.

  • Can you put music on iPod Classic without them being on your computer?

    Hey, I have about 140GB of music on an external hard drive, and I have a new iPod Classic 160GB. My MacBook is only 120GB and a lot of it is used. Is there any way for me to put it on straight from my hard drive to the iPod with out it being on my computer?

    The music needs to be in your iTunes library.
    If your music is all in one folder on the external hard drive, you can point iTunes to this folder and have that be your new library. This option is in iTunes Preferences, under Advanced.
    If you need clarification, let me know.

  • Drive with Offline Files folder not available for 2 minutes after being connected to the network.

    Hi
    We use Windows SP1 with one folder from the User HomeDirectory set to be available offline.
    The problem we encounter is that when going from Offline to Online via VPN, there is a 2 minutes delay for the drive where the offline folder is located to be available again. Other drives mapped at VPN connection time are available immediately
    after we applied KB2705233. Only the drive that contains the folder that we make available offline has this delay issue.
    I found out KB2663418 but it does not apply as we have Windows 7 SP1. However the symptoms are the same:
    < This issue occurs because the client-side caching (CSC) interface tries to reconnect to the source before the network is actually available. This behavior causes the SMB cache to enter a negative state. In this situation, the CSC interface tries to
    reconnect to the source on the next 2-minute retry interval.>
    Does one know how to force a check of the connectivity or if there is another fix available ?
    thanks in advance
    bruno

    Hi,
    Why KB2663418 didn't applied to your computer? It applied to
    Windows 7 Service Pack 1, when used with:
    Windows 7 Enterprise
    Windows 7 Professional
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Did you use Windows 7 Home Basic or Home Premium?  However, Windows 7 Home Basic and Premium does not support Offline Files.
    Thus please try that hotfix.

  • IPod ejects immediately after syncing

    So, I have no idea why this is doing this. My 80 gig iPod classic will freeze when I first connect it to my computer which uses Windows Vista. Then, once I reset it, it will connect long enough to say that it is synced, and then immediately eject itself. Also, half of the songs on my iPod either won't play at all, or will stop playing at a certain point. I have reinstalled iTunes, used different usb ports, used different cables to connect my iPod, and restart my iPod each time I try to connect it. I can't even restore the ipod to factory settings because it doesn't stay connected long enough. I am lost. help!

    Try putting the ipod into disk mode then connect to your computer this should allow the ipod to stay connected for you to do a restore. for steps on how to do this try this article http://factoidz.com/how-to-fix-an-ipod-that-is-frozen-or-wont-turn-on/
