ITunes 11.1.4 (Win 7) suddenly thinks my iPod Classic (7th gen) is a new iPod

My iPod Classic has worked fine since I got it last year with my laptop, but suddenly when I plug it in now iTunes says "welcome to your new iPod". The iPod itself plays fine and all my music is intact. But I now can't play it through iTunes or manage my playlists.

I believe the IPOD (Classic) uses USB 2.0,  and my new laptop uses USB 3.0.  I think they are not compatable because of this.  If you find a solution to this please let me know.
Thanks,

  • My iPod classic 7th Gen  will not sync with my new computer. itunes is installed and updated.

    fellow iPod classic owners,
                                           the problem is a failure to sync with the new computer. the conditions are as follows: the new computer is a pc. it has the latest iTunes software installed. the iPod is installed properly. i'm fully recognized by my iTunes account. there is nothing lacking other than my iPod's refusal to sync with my new computer. what have i left undone? i could be suffering from a duh, but i'm not the only one. nothing in the apple world is as difficult as this one is, at least on the surface. if it were that simple an issue, no one would be having any problems with it. any more information needed can be provided by request. by the way, the computer being used has been authorized. that is a non-issue.
                                                                                                                 your help is appreciated,

  • ITunes suddenly thinks my iPod is the same as my wifes

    Hi, my wife and I have had Video iPods for about 3 months now, both using the same computer and the same iTunes program of course, and have had no problem keeping thing serperated as far what each of us wants on our iPod and the automatic updating we've set up when we plug in our respective iPods, but the other, she unplugged hers, the white iPod icon and information went off of iTunes, I plugged in my black iPod, and it popped up with a black iCon but her information and the name of her iPod, not mine! Any idea why this happened or what we can do about it? My ipod won't play any songs now, I start one up, and it skips to the next one, then the next one, and so on. If I pause it before it can skip to the next song, the artwork beside the song I've stopped it on is never the correct artwork, always from another band. I'm about to try just totally restoreing my iPod and starting all over again, but how can we keep this from happening again? We'd appreciate any suggestions.

    hiya!
    it's a bit of a kinky possibility, but it's plausible that you've got a weird version of this problem:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    (it would be a "doubled" version of this problem. Windows starts misidentifying the white one as the other drive, and an ipod_control folder makes its way onto the other drive. then when you plug in the black one, you get the confusion again, Windows sees the ipod_control folder on the other drive, and ends up thinking that that's the white one.)
    probably best to warn you that i've only seen one confirmed case so far of a doubled drive letter confusion causing an identity swap.
    love, b

  • MacBook Pro running Leopard has suddenly thinks audio CDs are blank.  Also not recognized in Itunes.

    MacBook Pro running Leopard has suddenly thinks audio CDs are blank.  Also not recognized in Itunes.  What should I do to determine whether it's a hardware or software problem? Or is there something unusual about these CDs?

    I have the exact same issue.DVD's work perfectly, but audio cd's have stopped working.  I think it's pretty recent, but can't confirm it because i don't use audio cd's daily. So I think it might be software related instead of hardware related. I Have a Macbook pro 15" mid 2009 running the latest OSX release.

  • I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS

    I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS.  When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

  • Registered Elements 10 suddenly thinks it is a trial version?????

    I purchased Elements 10 some time ago.  A couple months ago, I had to replace my computer, and I had some difficulty installing Elements onto my new system (Win 7 64 bit).  I finally got it installed, and now today when I clicked CTRL+I to edit a photo, I received a display box offering me a choice of either using a "Trial" version of Elements 10 or BUY one.  WTF is going on here?  I have been using Elements 10 for over a year, and a couple months on my new laptop.  I've tried looking the in the HELP or About areas for the serial number to key in again, but I can't locate it.  NEVER again will I buy downloaded software from Adobe (or anyone) ... I want the serial number where I can see it.  Does anyone have any idea why Elements suddenly thinks I don't have it installed?  I've been using it regularly for the last couple months since reloading it without any problems.  I have to edit some photos quickly ... HELP!!   Where can I locate my serial # to key into the boxes on the display?

  • I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

    Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

    I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
    iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
    However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
    To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
    However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes, 
    Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound  from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

  • The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. How do I get them back?

    The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. When I looked in the trash, I saw two things labled "iTunes library extras", and "iTunes library genius". When I tried opening them, it said that I needed to open them with an application, and that I needed to chose one. I chose iTunes. When I tried double clicking on "iTunes library extras" after this, all it did was open up iTunes. Nothing else. Someone please help me because I had a lot of songs that I liked, and recently downloaded. And it will be a pain to get them all back if no one can help me.

    Are the files still physically on your HD?
    [User]/Music/iTunes/Media/Music is the default location. Unless you suddenly have a bunch of new "free space" on your hard drive, they're still where they were, you just need to create a new library file.

  • ITunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working.

    iTunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working. Updated to IOS8.0 (not running 8.0.1) a few days go but was fine up until today. Now, when attempting to play a list of songs (artist, playlist or album) it rapidly shuffles through all of them without playing and then it displays a red square next to songs and won't play them at all. It seems to sync with my MBP but then new playlists I've created don't appear on the iPhone even though iTunes on the MBP has them appearing when I click the "on my iPhone tab. Tried the obvious quit and restart approach. No effect. Does anyone have any ideas?

    It's not a hardware problem. The same exact thing just happened to me. My husband reset all settings, not erase all content and settings, after the phone started back up, everything worked like normal again. You just have to redo your settings.

    Hope this helps you!

  • Windows thinks my ipod touch is a digital camera. How do I change this so itunes can see it?

    Windows thinks my ipod touch is a digital camera. How can I change the device in windows, so that i can re-register it as an ipod and itunes can connect with it.?

    It is normal for the iPod to be seen as a camera since that is how one gets photo off the iPod.  You can turn it off by:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Disabling digital camera notification in Windows XP
    To get iTunes to see you iPod see:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If you previoulys installed camera or scanner software that may be causing the problem.
