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/

  • How to set iPod to eject automatically after sync?

    Hi!
    My mother's iPod "ejects" automatically after syncing. Mine, I have to click the eject button. Mine is 8 GB hers is 4 GB, but both are third generation. How can I set it up to eject my iPod automatically after sync, like my mother's?
    Thank you!

    Do you have your 8 GB iPod set to Enable Disk Mode? If so, that would explain it since doing that requires you to manually eject the iPod.

  • Has anyone had trouble ejecting their ipod from itunes after syncing?

    Has anyone had trouble ejecting their ipod from itunes after syncing?

    what trouble are you having? if after it says sync complete, and then you click on the eject arrow next to xxxx's ipod and it still says Do not Disconnect after ten minutes?  I just pull the cable. you can shut down the computer first if you want. never done any damage so far.

  • Itunes auto-ejects my iPod classic immediately after mounting

    greetings,
    a very strange problem started today... 
    i have a 120Gig iPod classic, software version 2.0.1
    i have 3 macs of different:
    1 macbook pro about 3 years old with 10.6.6 and iTunes 10.1.2,
    1 macbook pro also 3 years old with 10.6.7 which is my work computer, iTunes 10.5,
    1 powerbook 1.5Ghz G4 with 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 which is my music server connected to my stereo. 
    i also have a mountable partition on my iPod to transfer files between computers when needed.
    i keep my iPod set to "manual syncing" in iTunes so i can plug it into any computer to play my music when away from homw.
    today, when plugging in my iPod to my MBPro with 10.6.6, the iPod showed it was connected to a computer and the iPod mounted on the desktop, like normal. then, i manually started iTunes.  the iPod appeared in iTunes but wouldn't play anything when i tryed to play songs.  the display on my iPod sad "ejecting" and then behaved as though it was no longer connected to my MBPro.  the iPod partition was now unmounted in the finder.  however iTunes still showed the iPod and all the songs on it.  i ejected the iPod in iTunes and tried again.  i watched the iPod screen and saw that after connecting to iTunes it display "syncing" for a moment, then gave an message that it was being ejected... 
    i repeated this on my powerbook, where it normally syncs to, with the same symptoms.
    i tried resetting the iPod, cycle hold switch then hold select and menu until the apple logo appeared.  the iPod reset and i tried again with the same results...
    i rebooted my computers, reset the iPod again and continue to get the same behavior on all 3 computers...  clearly an iPod problem...  iTunes indicates the iPod software is up to date...
    checking the console logs for iTunes error messages, the only messages that shows up with iTunes is "CGSGetWindowBounds: Null window" repeatedly.  this appears in 1 computer, don't see error messages when connecting the iPod in the other computer.... 
    since i cannot keep my iPod mounted to any computer with any version of iTunes, i'm not sure what to do to fix it since the simple reset option doesn't work.
    i searched the iPod discussion forum and didn't see anything that looks like this.
    has anyone seen this before? 
    any suggestions about what to try next?
    i appreciate any suggestions...
    thanks-

    greetings,
    it was obviously a problem with the iPod.  so i reformatted my iPod, reinstalled i iPod software, and then did a fresh sync to iTunes.  it seems to be working fine again for the last week.  since i couldn't mount the iPod without it auto ejecting, i had to put in into "disk mode".  then i could use iTunes to reformat and start over again. 
    the only thing i did BEFORE erasing the iPod was to compare the changes in my podcasts, then update the changes in iTunes so they would show up as "unplayed" on my iPod after they were copied back to my iPod.  i normally listen to podcasts on my iPod and delete them there, then iTunes syncs those changes back to my computer.

  • 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!

    Hi luisxjim,

  • TS1363 Is anyone else suddenly getting this problem on both iPod & iPad immediately after downloading the last upgrade to iTunes 10.6.1.7?

    Is anyone else suddenly finding that iTunes is not recognising both iPad & iPod when trying to sync via a PC AND that this problem started immediately after downloading the last upgrade to iTunes 10.6.1.7 to said PC? Im loathed to waste time following the recommended steps on the Apple help site to find that the problem is the new iTunes version.

    Your article is for earlier version of iPods.
    You should refer to this article:

  • Ipod classic frozen after sync since I updated ipod software 1.02

    I have an iPod Classic 80G and iTunes 7.4.2(4) installed in my Macbook Pro, had about 12G music in my iTune, everything worked fine, untill yesterday I added some more songs (about 2G), when I tried to sync, iTune asked me to update iPod Classic software 1.02, I did and after sync, my iPod frozen (only apple logo on screen). I tried all 5 Rs, and even erased the drive with Disk Utility, after restore, I can copy songs from iTunes while using it as a disk, the ipod works fine, but the iPod crashs everytime finished sync. This morning I tried to sync with my girlfriend's Mac mini (she has about 8G music in her iTunes), it works no problem at all. So I am thinking the problem is with my iTunes - any help please?
    p.s My last attemp was deleting the ipoddriver.kext from extensions libary, still didn't work.

    The iPod classic not bring recognized is unrelated to iTunes Match. You should post this problem to either the iPod Classic forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_classic or the iTunes for Windows forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows. Probably the former.
    FYI it is only iOS devices that cannot be synced via USB with iTunes Match enabled.

    Update: After restoring the iPod synced almost 1/3 through my playlist and then started syncing at a rate of about one song every four to five minutes. Eventually it stopped syncing and froze. Now iTunes is completely frozen.

  • IPod loses everything after syncing and ejecting from iTunes 11.0.4

    hey there,
    After updating my iTunes to 11.0.4, I have been having trouble with syncing songs into my iPod 160GB. At the start it would sync and everything was cool until i ejected my iPod and everything in my iPod was gone, I plugged it back into my iMac and iTunes said I had to restore my iPod, I did just that. Now each time I plug my iPod to my iMac and sync songs, it would say sync complete but after i ejected my iPod, there will be nothing in my iPod and I have to continuosly restore my iPod.
    I have tried reseting the iPod itself and then do a restore through iTunes but the problem won't go away. Any help will be much appreciated
    Thanks

  • Ipod disconnects automatically after sync

    I plug in the ipod nano, iTunes auto-starts, then it tries to sync the iPod. After that sync, the nano is immediately removed from My Computer. Any subsequent attempts to sync the nano(including changing any settings) fails telling me that the nano cannot be found (probably because Windows no longer lists it as a valid drive).
    If we reset the nano (with the reset utility downloadable from apple.com) and plug it back in, we tried removing the mark next to the option to autosync the nano from the Music Library. That seemed to work fine, but then - like above - after iTunes starts, the nano is immediately removed from My Computer and, once again, any subsequent attempts to sync music to the device or sync changes in settings fails.
    I have also tried changing drive letter, reinstalling itunes, formatting ipod etc.
    Please help!

    Its working
    I removed Apple mobile support or something from Add remove programs.
    Then tried to plug in my Ipod. At first my computer did not recognize my ipod at all so I wen to the Device Manager.
    My ipod was listed there under Universal Serial Bus controllers as an ipod storage device or something, however it had a yellow !, so I right clicked and chose Update driver. It was then relisted as USB Mass storage Device.
    and after this update driver thing, itunes immediately started to sync my ipod for the first time in months....
    great. hope this helps for anyone else too. Dont know what happens if I change playlists or anything yet, but its now syncinc to the default playlist. I am also running itunes 7.6 now. HOwever, 7.6 did not sync anything before I started to remove the Apple mobile device thing from add remove programs.

  • 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.

  • Video iPod stays "on" after Sync

    I have upgraded the software for iTunes and iPod to the latest version. Since doing that, everytime I sync, eject the iPod, and put it on hold, the next morning the iPod screen is still at the beginning screen, not in sleep mode, and half of the battery is discharged. Needless to say, this has not happened before.
    Any suggestions?

    Does it go to Sleep at all?
    Mkae sure Calendar alarms and Clock alarms are off.

  • Voice memos disappear off iphone 4 & ipod nano 5th after syncing to mac

    hi. i record voice memos on my ipod nano 5th gen and when i sync the nano to my mac they are in itunes on my mac but not on my ipod anymore. they completely disappear from the nano. there is a v.m. playlist i can see on itunes for the ipod but they are grayed out and do not show up at all on the ipod. i can play them on my mac though. since i would like to have my v.m. on a portable device i tried copying them from itunes on my mac to my iphone 4 and have had strange results. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't or a few will copy. the playlist doesn't copy to the iphone at all but if i go to the v.m. app on the phone a few will be there. help! how can i get my v.m. that are now all on my mac to one of my portable devices? thanks in advance.

    nevermind. somehow now they are showing up in a music playlist on my nano. not sure if i just missed that as i was looking under extras > voice memos and not music playlists. i'm a happy camper now.
