IPod mini not recognised as disk

Hello!
As the topics says, my mini is considered to be an ordinary removable medium by Windows. Transferring songs to the mini seems to work properly (at least iTunes tells me this), but during the process Windows warns me that there is a data-loss while writing onto the medium.
I already restored several times my mini, it did not help. The change of the drive letter did not solve the problem too.
Sorry for my English, but I am not a native speaker. Please help me and thank U!

I've got a very similar problem. Sometimes itunes recognizes my ipod, sometimes it doesn't. Unfortunately though, when it does recognize it, it won't update all of my songs. It will look like its updating, then freeze up and crash. I've tried everything - reinstall itunes, restore my ipod, etc. I'm pretty much at a loss right now and am going to try and bring my ipod back to see if that might be the issue. All of these problems are new since updating to itunes 5.

  • Ipod mini not recognised when connected

    When I connect my ipod mini to my laptop the ipod just freezes, and the laptop does not recognise it. Have tried all the suggestions on the ipod mini troubleshooting page and still no luck. Any suggestions?

    Since this problem started, have you shut down (powered off) you computer, then started it up again?  I assume this iPod worked with this computer before, and it is not working now for some reason...
    You can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    then connect it.  If that allows iTunes to recognize it, you may want to run a Restore on the iPod from its Summary tab (in iTunes).  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.

  • Ipod mini not recognised by Itunes

    Hi All,
    Have bought a used Ipod mini from ebay as an xmas pressie ro ise with a Windows XP/Vista laptop. when I open Itunes it won't appear under the 'devices' pane.
    the ipod came with a usb cable ok but am not sure if I need an additional software cd for the mini as well and where I would be able to get it.
    Have tried the 5Rs with no joy and have the latest version of itunes installed.
    Any suggestions appreciated
    Selina

    I have just one suggestion left.
    Although you might not have the same issue as the title of this article, I suggest you read it.
    There could be a problem with loading the 'iPodDriver.kext' file.

  • Ipod mini not being recognised!

    My ipod mini is all of a sudden not being recognised on i-tunes. I have tried using a different cable, different pc etc etc.
    What happened!

    when I turned on my ipod mini today, a sad face with an exclamation point came up! I haven't used it for about 3 weeks and thought it was a battery discharge problem. Before I connected it to my laptop, I update the iTunes software and as soon as I connect the iPod, the sad face comes up again, followed by a few seconds of the frozen battery and then blank! I tried restoring but can't put in in Disk Mode.
    Any idea what can be happening?

  • IPod is not recognised in iTunes

    Hi
    This problem has been driving me up the wall! Basically my iPod is not being recognised in iTunes (doesn't appear in the source list) or the Updater. It is recognised in Windows Explorer as it comes up in my "safely remove hardware" section. I have followed the Apple website advice http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716.
    I reinstalled COM interface, no luck. Went onto removing iTunes and reinstalled. No joy. I thought if I could completely restore my iPod it may shed some light but of course the Updater always says "Can't mount iPod".
    I think I may have registered my iPod early this year, starting with a PC connection. Then updated it on a Mac. On the iPod menu>Setting>About>Format it still says Windows.
    Hope the information helps with any solutions
    Thanks
    Steve

    Jeff, and anyone else reading this. I did try assigning the iPod to another drive letter and it worked (to some extent). I'll run through what happened, including probably the one thing that I did completely wrong.
    Before seeing this reply I thought I would completely wipe my iPod just by deleting the files through windows explorer (very silly, was just desperate). Came to deleting some of the music files and it said "...is not empty" so couldn't delete anymore.
    Read the reply above and changed the drive letter, immediately informed my iPod did not have the latest update. Downloaded it and plugged it into my AC to charge (came up with that symbol). This is where it goes hazy, can't remember the complete order of events. Anyway, still no recognition from iTunes after a restart of the PC and iPod drive has reverted back to C. Changed back to N, goes through the process of Updater. I completely restore it and I think it came up with a command "Formatting failure. Disk write error". So I disconnect the iPod, comes up with the AC image and plug it in. GIves me choice of language, completely wiped the iPod without seemingly completing the restore on the computer.
    Becomes hazy again. Tried to restore again (didn’t give the option of Updater as I have the latest on there now) and starts going through the process. It has now come up with a couple of messages while trying to restore “Formatting failure. Disk write error” and “Firmware update failure. Disk write error”. Also got a failure message on the toolbar “iTunes:iTunes.exe – Corrupt file. The file or directory \iPod_control is corrupt and unreadable – Please run the Chkdisk utility”.
    By this time I had given up. Did the change of directory my brother’s iPod (always formatted for Windows) and his worked straight away. Out of curiosity I plugged mine in again, came up with the message error in the toolbar above but my iPod was suddenly recognised in iTunes. It reorganised the downloads, started uploading. Went to bed, left it on track 1690 loaded out of whatever it was. Computer was still on track 1690 in the morning, locked the computer. Restarted, checked my iPod, only 8 tracks had been loaded. Tried to restore, same messages. Now my iPod won’t turn on, accept to show the Apple logo and then the symbol with the folder and exclamation mark with the iPod support web address below.
    Any ideas on what I should do? I can take it into an Apple store, but not for a while.
    Sorry this is long but wanted to get as much detail down.
    Thanks

  • IPod Mini not recognized by iTues or Computer since last time I connected.

    I am creating this as a new post to get some data not a fix. If you find an answer start a new post.
    Around Thanksgiving my iPod Mini that worked for over a year is no longer recognized by iTunes (Actually it shows as a bad file folder then dissapears in Windows Explorer).
    I did everything the trouble shooting instructions suggest at least 5 times, except I can't restore because the computer does not recognize the iPod.
    I was about to give up on iPods when... in a meeting at work I learned 3 out of 5 iPod users said the same thing happen since Thanksgiving and the others don’t think they have sync'ed yet.

    Same as, although a new development on this last night, I borrowed a mates USB hub that has it's own mains power supply and for a short time my laptop recognised my IPOD, I obviously thought i had found the solutions as it started to sync at which point the smug smile left my face as i could smell burning plastic. Yep, the usb cable was melting in to the USB hub. so not only won't the sodding thing work properly it is a god **** fire hazard. Luckily our producst that cost hundreds of pounds are supported by friendly and helpful people at Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Oh and i downloaded itunes 7.6 last night and nothing.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ipod mini not recognized by iTunes

    My iPod mini is recognized by my USB drive and shows up in my computer and device manager says it's functioning properly, but it's not showing up in iTunes, therefore I can't update or restore it. Help.
    Also, would I loose all my songs if I had to delete and then reinstall iTunes.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.
