IPod Firewire 10 GB Mac-formatted. Windows doesn't recognize it

Hello, folks,
I'm iPod newbie, got older 10 Gb Firewire touch wheel iPod recently and trying to connect it to PC.
PC has Belkin Firewire card.
I've charged ipod, then reset it, installed iTunes, Xplay and MacDrive software on my PC.
When i connect ipod to PC it shows disk platter icon with a magnifying glass, and progress bar under that icon is showing progress. After about 10 minutes this icon appears (disk platter with a checkmark): http://www0.info.apple.com/images/kbase/60943/60943_3.jpg
When i try to connect ipod to PC it doesn't recognize it (and none of the programs - iTunes, MacDrive and Xplay - neither).

Despite the name "Classic" this forum is for the latest versions of the iPod line. You want to repost your question in this area...

  • Updated to 1.2.2 - Now Windows Doesn't Recognize

    Hiya, I've had this 5G 80gb iPod for about a year and this is the first major problem I've encountered.
    After updating to 1.2.2 (something I now regret) Windows refuses to recognize my iPod, I've followed all the guidelines and I've even tried to connect it to my laptop to no avail. The Device Manager seems to show a problem with the USB port, but I can use other hardware without any problem, and the iPod won't work on any of my six ports (there's a weird 'negative' sound each time I connect it). I can listen to my music alright, but I can't take or put anything in my iPod if Windows doesn't recognize it.
    Could it be a version problem? And in that case, is there a way of reverting the firmware?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi CamBej,
    Have a look at this article about windows not recognising iPod,
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    If you want to revert back to version 1.2.1 on your iPod you will have to restore it, version 1.2.2 has been removed as it was causing a lot of problems.

  • Mac OS X doesn't recognize Internet addresses starting with "http:"

    I have a Mac G5 and I am using Safari 4.13. My problem is that whenever A site I am on has a reference to a document (usually a ,pdf file) the screen goes blank for a moment as if it is going to the sight and then the above message appears on the screen. The message makes no sense to me and I am very frustrated as naturally I need to access these documents. I have tried going back and forth, cutting and pasting with no affect. If I use another browser it works just fine, I only have this problem with Safari. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Hi and welcome.......
    I found a thread that might help you.
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac/27730/OSX-doesn-t-recognize-http
    So from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferencees then select the Security tab.
    Where you see *Web content* if the box next to *Enable plug-ins* is not selected, select that box then quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.

  • Mac OS X doesn't recognize Internet addresses starting with "lastfm:".

    I am running Safari 5.0.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
    I am unable to open my last.fm radio streams in the browser. I receive the message:
    Safari can’t open the specified address.
    Safari can’t open “lastfm://user/tivorion/recommended” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “lastfm:”.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    It seems addresses starting with lastfm:// are opened in the Last.fm Scrobbler.
    To listen to my radio streams, I had to go to http://www.last.fm/listen
    Problem solved.

  • Trying to charge my shuffle and windows doesn't Recognize it.

    I was trying to charge my son's shuffle and windows doesn't Recognize it both of them. I even tryed to charg them in the pluge in. But that does not work eather.

    I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

  • IPod works well with Mac but Windows can't Open it when connected

    My iPod details: Capacity - 74.37GB, Software Version - 1.3, Format - Windows (MS-DOS FAT 32 format)
    MAC details given below.
    PC details - Windows XP, Service Pack 3.
    My iPod was formatted to work with Windows and Mac as I only had a PC when I bought it. It's been working quite well since I bought it and later with the Mac too. However, since the past few weeks, when plugged in to a PC via USB, the iPod is recognised as a folder and fails to OPEN or be EXPLOREed. The only thing allowed is a SEARCH option which helps me transfer files between PC and MAC.
    Help guys!

    There may or may not be a physical fault with the WD drive, but Macs can read but not write to NTFS disks unless you use a third party driver like Paragon NTFS for Mac, or NTFSMounter.
    Your post seems to imply that before the current problems it used to be OK (ie you could read and write to it). Have you got NTFS for Mac or similar?
    Did you have a reson for formatting NTFS? Mac drives are formatted HFS+. If you want Windows to read Mac disks you can install MacDrive in Windows, and Paragon HFS for Windows.

    What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
    Without knowing that:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Computer says iPod is there, but iTunes and Windows won't recognize it

    I've had a 60GB ipod photo for about 4 years and it has served me well. This morning the iPod froze in the middle of a song. I hit reset, and it came back blank - all the files were gone. When I got to work and hooked it up to my computer, iTunes and Windows can't recognize it, but I can find it in device manager - which means I couldn't do restore.
    I hit reset a few more times, changed USB ports and, somewhat miraculously, the iPod came back, complete with all files. On the way home from work it happened again and I haven't been so lucky.
    I forced it into disk mode and iTunes recognized it, but told me it was corrupt. I also received a computer sound card error - my sound card was busy, and an error stating that audio/video playback could be limited. I tried restore, but I received the unknown error. I'm using the latest version of iTunes and I'm all out of ideas.
    Any suggestions or should I put this iPod to rest and save up to buy a new one?
    Thanks

    The most likely problem is that the hard drive in the iPod is becoming unreliable. It may be experiencing sticktion, which is friction that makes the spinning platter stick and the motor cannot get it spinning. The iPod is regularly spinning the hard drive up, to cache songs into memory, and then spinning it down, to save power. If the drive was not able to spin up when commanded (in the middle of a song), the iPod would seem to lock up. Later, bumping the iPod may make the hard drive spin again, so it seems to work again, at least for a while.
    If this the the problem, the only way to fix it would be to replace the hard drive inside.
    You might try reformatting the iPod using Windows, if you can get it to appear in a My Computer or Windows Explorer window. Use a full format instead of a quick format. If that process competes successfully, run iTunes and try using Restore again to install and initialize the iPod's software.
    If formatting does not compete successfully, it may be time for that new iPod.
    You can do some experimenting on the old iPod, if you're into such things. I have successfully installed a compact flash card (through an adapter), inside a 4th gen iPod as a replacement for the hard drive. It is only 4GB at the moment, but CF cards up to 16GB are getting relatively cheap, so I might get one of those and start using by old broken 4G iPod again, +now with shock-resistant energy-saving flash-based storage+.

    Can someone help me?

  • Mac App Store Doesn't Recognize Apps

    I have a Macbook Pro which is almost three years old.  Applications like iLife and iWorks were installed on the computer long before there was the Mac Ap Store.  These apps, and others on my computer, do not show up as Instaled in the App Store so I can't update them unless I use the old Software Update or the vendor's site.  I don't want to purchase the apps again but is there any way to "register" these apps so the app store knows they are on my computer?
    Thanks,
    David

    I have iLife 11 that I purchased on disk that is installed, but the App store doesn't recognize any of the iLife apps as being installed.
    Everytime I run GarageBand it states there is a new version, but then Software Update says everything is up to date once it is run.
    I have GarageBand 6.0 (427.17) at the moment, and the newest right now is 6.0.5
    I haven't been able to update it.
    Any thoughts on this issue?
