  • New Ipod - Connecting, then Automatically, uncontrollably disconnecting.

    Hello I just got a new 160gb black classic Ipod (just today infact) and I plug it in. It connects...and then immediately disconnects. I just connect, and it disconnects. Both my parents have 2gb Ipod Nanos so I have the newest Itunes, but I have no idea what to do. The computer registers it for a few seconds as a G Drive with 0 byte space and then disconnects. I reset it 5 times in a row and all I got was "Ipod device cannot be recognized" or whatever problem that is. Advice please? I leave for a Month-long trip to Europe in a few days and I got this Ipod specifically for this reason.
    Thanks

    Hmm, I have my 80 gig classic for more than a half year, and I hadn't encountered this problem so far, but today I encountered it, thus afterward stumbling upon this tread. I copied a file in my iPod which I had to have on another PC, but the iPod wouldn't properly connect with the other PC. When i connected it, the new device connected chime sounded and half a second later - the device disconnected sound. The iPod showed connecting, then ejecting, and the battery indicator was acting a bit weirdly. I tried a few more times with the same results. I was a bit concerned with this, even more so after reading your problem, but when I got home, my computer and the iPod connected as usually, no problems at all. The funny thing, though, is that I had connected the iPod to the other computer several times before without any problems. Oh and my computer has Win Wista, and the other had Win XP. I hope that maybe someone other more experienced can get some hints from this.

  • My iPod connects then ejects itself

    Hello, i've been having this problem for 6 months now...
    It's really annoyng and it's startint to drive me nuts...
    My iPod classic connects then ejects itself automatically,
    i've already tried to put it on disk mode but it ejects itself first and when i suceed, it keeps ejecting itself,
    iTunes doesn't even show the iPod sync window and i've already tried a lot of solutions, none of them seems to work.
    I've visited various forums, but still, no solution until now...
    I even bought a new iPod classic and still, it doesn't sync, i have no f*cking clue about why that happens and
    i'm starting to go nuts cause they are useless because i can't simply f*cking sync them with my f*cking computer...
    Sorry, i'm really raging now...

    Try enabling the iPod for disk use, this will keep it mounted after it has finished syncing. Connect your iPod and when it appears itunes click on it's icon to bring up the Summary tab in the main pane. Check the box "enable disk use" and click Apply to save the setting.
    Something to remember about using an iPod enabled for disk use is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Ipod syncing then disconects

    We have just brought a Ipod nano and a Ipod 160gb classic and have found both ipods to decide all of a sudden that they no longer want to stay connected to the computer.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?
    The ipod classic has been sent to apple for service because we were unaware of anything like this site available.
    We synced the nano and the classic to one computer then plugged it into another laptop and it asked if we wanted to sync with the machine and said yes so it deleted all the previous songs and photos that were installed. Now I have been able to put new songs onto the nano but can not get the ipod to stay connected so that I can edit the songs in the library.
    Even though the Ipod nano is connected to the computer for charging, itunes says its conected but all of the library is all greyed out and cant select any of the menus or songs.
    We did try two computers with the classic and 3 different cables thinking that might be the problem but havent tried anything with the nano as yet.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Yartz

    Do you have the nano set to manually sync or to autosync?

  • Ipod connects then disconnects automatically.

    Hi. I have a 160gb iPod Classic. I have had it for 9 months without any problems. But now when i connect it to my pc it connects for 3-6 seconds then automatically disconnects itself.
    I have tried multiple cables, that is not the problem
    I have tried multiple USB slots,
    I have tried it on different computers
    I have resotred the iPod
    I have a mac and have tried connecting it to this but the same issue occurs.
    I have seen a few posts about this before but no one ever really seems to be able to offer a possible solution apart from try a different usb port or cable. I have tried everything thus far but all in vain. It did get recongnised by my mac once and i managed to reformat it but then the same issue occurred. Then the same happened when i connected it to my PC after about 20 attempts.
    Any other suggestions would be appreiated or it is off to apple care for it.
    Thanks
    Gary

    I am have the same problem. I am using me i Mac, I plug in my i Pod and it says syncing for about 3 seconds and then say sync complete than about 30 seconds later it starts over again, and I never have any music on my i Pod.
    I have tried different cables. I hook it up to 2 different computers, one mac pro and one dell, and it will work fine, but will not with my i mac. I have restored my i pod, unloaded and reinstalled the latest version of i tunes. it is acting like it is being turned on and off. I am also running parallels 5 with windows xp on it and when I hook up a web cam while in xp, not using built in cam, it will turn on and off conatantly, wondering if Parallels 5 might be interfiering with the program.

  • Ipod Connecting then Disconnecting 2 seconds later

    Please help, my ipod is connecting to the computer, not showng in itunes and then disconnecting 2 seconds later, ive tried rrestarting and different usb ports and different wires but still no luck!
    Please,
    Clare x

    Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
    Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
    I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
    My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

    Try:

    - 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 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.

    i have an ipod 4 can i connect to pc and, using itunes match, store all music off ipod and then transfer to a new ipod 5?

    hI, bella
    I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
    1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
    2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
    3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
    4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
    5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
    6. Click 'OK'.

  • Ipod nano connects then immediately disconnects after plugging in to USB

    i have never had this happen before. as soon as i plug it into the usb port it comes on. then about 5 seconds later it shuts off the connection. i go to "my computer" and it goes away.

    First, try a differnet USB cable, and a different USB cable if possible.
    If that doesn't help:
    Connect the iPod and open Device Manager
    (Click Start, right click My Computer, click Manage, click Device Manager in the left-hand column)
    Scroll to Universal Serial Bus controllers and click the plus symbol to expand it
    Do you see the iPod?
    If you see something with a red "x" on it, right click on it and click Enable
    If you see something with a yellow ! or ? try right clicking on it, click Uninstall, and then restart the PC with the iPod connected.
