IPod Unit in Computer Resources list disappears when iTunes Starts

When iTunes Starts and detects the iPod device the iPod disk resource, in computer resource list (e.g. iPod (G:)) disappears. In this way any action I made to iPod fails.
I tried all but it doesn't working.
help me....

I tried two different USB ports each a failure. Other USB items are as follows: wireless mouse + keyboard bundle, wireless network adapter, digital camera (sits there all the time), and 500 GB Western Digital external hard drive. I am on a network but nothing from the iPod or iTunes accompanying folders are shared. Originally I had G: but it is now I:.
At the moment it works again (for now). I don't know why it worked for me but I tried a non-official iPod song loader and when that didn't work I just deleted everything on the iPod (hidden files too) and the next time iTunes tried syncing it asked to set up new iPod controls. After that it stayed on the My Computer folder and I could reload songs through iTunes. I haven't tried it more than this once because I don't want to jinx it. I don't suggest my way because it was probably dumb luck.

  • ITunes Library.itl keeps disappearing when iTunes starts

    I just updated to iTunes 10.8.0.40.  Now my iTunes Library.itl file keeps disappearing.
    When iTunes starts, I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder inthe "Music" folder."
    I copy a backup from the "Previous iTunes Library" folder and then iTunes will start.  However, the file disappears again as iTunes is starting.  Right after it disappears, iTunes displays a message that says, "Checking iTunes Library..." followed by "Updating iTunes Library..."  Then I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  A folder was specified instead of a file."
    The process repeats endlessly.  How do I stop iTunes from deleting the iTunes Library.itl file as it starts?

    I fixed this by removing iTunes and installing MediaMonkey.  Most of the music I have in iTunes has been ripped from my CDs and MediaMonkey found all of those MP3's within a couple minutes.  The last time I had to rebuild my iTunes database, it took two days because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from analyzing the volume.  The few albums that I bought through iTunes, I will burn to a CD and re-rip.  Despite the name, MediaMonkey seems to be a much better program for managing music and runs significantly faster on my little HP mini.
    This is the fourth and last time I'm dealing with the problem of iTunes deleting my database.  Good riddance iTunes.

  • Mail VIP list disappears when logging out/back in

    After upgrading mid-2011 iMac to Yosemite, my Mail application's VIP list disappears when I log out and log back in. I have to rebuild it each time by selecting VIP stars in each person's email.

    A little more possibly-useful information:
    The system typically gets into a bad state - neither firefox nor thunderbird able to start - after the computer goes to sleep (suspend) when I close the lid. Certain updates also break it. Yesterday I updated some rpm packages without incident, but updating the flash plugin caused problems.

  • TS1567 My Ipod Classic appears in my computer when connected to my Windows 8 pc but when itunes starts it no longer appears and is not shown in Itunes also. Itunes appears to disconnect it from pc.

    My Ipod Classic appears in My Computer when I connected it to my new Windows 8 pc. When Itunes starts my Ipod is no longer appears in My Computer and is not shown under Devices in Itunes. It appears that Itunes disconnects my Ipod from the pc. My Ipod still sync's up fine with Itunes on my old Windows XP pc.

    The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

  • Can't airplay movies - icon disappears when movie starts in iTunes

    Hi guys. Had this problem for a little while now. I'm running iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 and an Apple TV in another room. I've had no problems until recently. Anything but movies will play perfectly to the Apple TV. But the second I start a movie, the icon disappears, and iTunes starts acting like there's suddenly no Apple TV. Then when I exit the movie the icon reappears as quick as it went. Even for example I would go from streaming music perfectly, straight into playing a movie. Still the same. No amount of restarts or re-installations on both devices has solved the problem yet.

    iTunes prefs > Store.

  • HT1373 Is it possible to transfer songs on iPod to a computer that already has an iTunes profile for someone else?

    Is it possible to transfer songs on iPod to a computer that already has an iTunes profile for someone else? I recently had my laptop stolen so I no longer have iTunes backed up on a computer.

    Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?

  • Automatically play music when iTunes starts? is it possible?

    hello,
    i just wanted to know if there is any way to automatically start playing songs when iTunes starts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Is there any way to restore this!?!
    You can usually redownload content through your iTunes Store account. Some content that is redownloadable is determined by the country where you live. However, have you not been also storing all of your iTunes content in the media libraries in the iTunes app on your computer?

    Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • What is it that resets the Music Location when iTunes starts?

    So whenever you have your Music Location set to a mount on a remote device. Such as a share on a Time Capsule for instance if the mount isn't present when iTunes starts iTunes will always reset the Music Location back to it's default.
    Is there a way to stop this from happening?
    Can I make it so that mount is always available before iTunes or iTunes Helper starts?
    Both I and my wife on her Air want to share the same remote device for our music library but we don't want iTunes to keep reseting the Music Location.

    Option selects the iTunes library file, which is most likely in the /Music/iTunes folder on the Mac HD.
    The iTunes music folder is on the Time Capsule which needs to be mounted.
    As Robert noted, add the Time Capsule to your Login items.

    Many thanks, Paul.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch properly now?
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

  • Computer Ejects iPod When iTunes starts up

    Please help!!! I have read every forum and tried zillions of things to get things working without any joy.
    When I connect my iPod it shows up in my computer, but then as soon as itunes opens (and it does so automatically) the computer ejects the ipod so it no longer appears in my computer and cant sync with itunes; itunes cant detect it.
    Its a 5th gen Ipod
    Im running windows 7 32 bit
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes about 5 times (mmost recently an hr ago)
    I have updated my drivers through device manager
    Its not the usb cord/port as my old crusty ipod still connects fine!
    Please help! It is driving me batty!!!!!!!!

    What other burning software do you use on your PC? There is a reason why this happens. When an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some people, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists...
    First, I would tell you to go to your computer manufacturer's website and download all new driver's for your optical drives. Run CD Diagnostics in iTunes and post them here if you still have problems. Here is an Apple Article that discusses this issue:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976
    There are other work arounds as well if you want to know that. Post back if you still have problems.
