ITunes 9, iPod Classic, iBook G4 - Issue!

Okay, I'm in desperate need of help.
I have an iBook G4, an iPod Classic, and had iTunes 9.
The iPod was formatted for my PC but I restored it so that I could have it on my Mac. So my issue is this: the iPod shows up on my desktop, and when I plug the iPod in, iTunes automatically opens, but the iPod does NOT show up in iTunes no matter what!
I considered going back to an older version of iTunes (iTunes 8) but I'm thinking I was told I need to use AppCleaner to get rid of all the newer iTunes crap, because when I tried without it, iTunes 8 said it could not open because the music was done with a newer version of iTunes.
So my PC is about to crash (which is the only way I download music to the iPod now) and I really need to fix this problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or encountered this problem and were able to fix it? I'm at my wits end.
Thanks!!

I used AppCleaner to delete iTunes and reinstalled iTunes 8.2 and now the iPod only appears on the desktop for a moment and iTunes says "An iPod has been detected but cannot be identified properly." Unplugging and replugging back in does not work. I then tried clicking update iTunes (to the newest version) just because I'm willing to try anything at this point and I'm back to desktop recognizing iPod but not iTunes.
Please can someone help, I am frustrated beyond belief.

  • My iPhone and iPad aren't detected by iTunes but iPod classic syncs

    My iPhone and iPad aren't detected by iTunes but iPod classic syncs. I have re-installed iTunes, reset devices etc. The iPad and iPhone charges through the computer and Windows 8 recognises them.

  • IPod Classic 6G 160Gb Issues & Itunes Crashes

    I recently bought an iPod Classic 6G 160gb, added some files to the library, sync'ed it with the ipod and listened without problems. But when i was trying to connect the ipod the second/third... time to the pc, the itunes crashed, and the ipod said something like: "Use iTunes for restore" or something. The only way that i was able to get into iTunes with the ipod connected was to first start itunes and then connect the ipod.
    I'll post some error logs down, from the itunes crashes:

    Using Itunes 9.0.2.25 and Windows 7 x64
    Message was edited by: nofx21

    Okay. A generalised upgrade of all the drivers associated with your hardware and software would be probably the best way to proceed, then. (Given that ntdll.dll is such a basic component in the Windows operating system machinery that deals with hardware devices and software drivers, it pretty much could be any driver on the PC that could be causing the issue.)
    The following document may be of some assistance with the device driver process:
    [Updating the drivers on your Windows PC|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1768]
    When you visit the drivers and downloads page for your model at your manufacturer's website, it would probably also be a good idea to check on any software updates they have available there too.
    Also be sure to head to Windows Update to make sure you're up to date in that regard too.
    If no joy with any of that, post back and we'll work through some other ntdll.dll troubleshooting possibilities.

  • How do I manually move a playlist from new iTunes to ipod classic?

    My iTunes just updated itself. Now the screen looks totally different. I want to manually move a playlist from the new iTunes to my iPod classic. It worked perfectly yesterday, but now that that the iTunes updated, the page doesn't show my iPod so I can't manually move the playlist to the iPod.

    Hi Carol,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're running into an issue syncing music to your iPod classic since updating iTunes because of the way it looks now. You can make iTunes look more like the previous version by showing the Sidebar, as described in the article below.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Customize the iTunes window
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12364
    Choose View > Show Sidebar.
    The Sidebar replaces the Library menu, the Devices button, and the iTunes Store button. To return to the default view, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    And, this article provides a detailed walkthrough for syncing content to your iPod.

  • IPod Classic having strange issues

    My 80 Gig iPod Classic is having the following issues:
    1.) It appears empty when I search for songs using the wheel.
    2.) It shows on my desktop as "Unknown" and is ejectable when I drag it to the trash.
    3.) When I put it into disk mode, clicking the mounted disk on my desktop shows pictures and about 150 songs that are unchangeable (i.e., I tried deleting stuff and I was given error code 61.)
    4.) I can reset it using Menu+Select, and I can also put it into disk mode.
    5.) When plugged in to my computer it displays "connected, eject before disconnecting."
    6.) When I eject it (by using the trash bin) it displays "ok to disconnect" - but it immediately resets, the Apple logo comes on, and it asks me to select a language preference.
    7.) When it's first plugged in, iTunes will open and the Apple logo at the top of the screen will flash quickly, but the device does not show on the left hand side of the screen.
    And the biggest problem...
    8.) It is not recognized by iTunes - therefore I can't figure out how to restore it.
    I have 8 other kinds of iPods/iPhones, all of them are recognized by iTunes (version 9.1) using my MacBook Pro, using 3 different USB ports. I've restarted iTunes, my computer, everything, and I still cannot get the device to show in iTunes.
    Any suggestions to get this going?

  • Itunes and Ipod Classic stop before song ends after transfer to new computer

    I purchased a new Windows 7 computer and transferred my library from my XP computer.
    I restored my library and all seemed well with the world.
    I synched my IPod classic 120GB with over 8000 songs.
    I was listening to the IPOD on my docking station when I started noticing that songs would just stop before the end of the song.
    I thought my 120GB Ipod was dying, so I purchased a new 160GB.
    The problem continued.
    I then listened to them on the new computer in Itunes and they did not completely stop, they just skipped to the next track at the same place as it froze on my IPOD.
    I listened to the same song on my old computer through Itunes and it played correctly.
    I have do not have the Itunes Match and the songs that I currently know that have the problem were purchased on Itunes.
    Any suggestions as how to resolve the issue?

    I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.

  • IPod Classic 160Gb - Skipping issues

    Hi all,
    Recently I have updated my iPod Classic 160gb to the new version.
    I have noticed the following:
    When I push >>| (next) button to go to the next track, the next track sometimes
    will start playing in the middle of that song!
    All my songs are mp3, I don't know that their bitrate (192, 384 or vbr, ...)
    I only noticed this behavior yesterday.
    Has anyone noticed this too?
    Is there a solution for it?
    I only have 4400 songs on it ....

    The issues are real. A thread that had over 100 posts about itunes and the classic ipod freezing has been locked and no one can post anything more. Just to post what I have already posted:
    I have a new 160 gb Silver model. The ipod and itunes frezes after it is recognized by itunes. Itunes freezes half way through the sync process when only sycning one album. It will freeze for 80 seconds and then the rest of the songs will sync. It will then freeze up again for 80 seconds, and then after all the songs are synced, it will freeze one more time before I have full use. I have tried 2 160gb ipods, I've restored and added a library. I have bought a new computer from a previous XP. My new Vista operating syatem does the exact same thing. Tech support is clueless and cannot add anything to why this is happening. I have the latest version of itunes and the latest software version for the ipod.

  • I cant put movie purshased in itunes into ipod classic 160

    Yesterday I bayed batman trilogy and I try to put in my new iPod classic 160.
    A message appear confirming that this kind of movies can’t be put in iPod classic.
    Please help.

    Thank Limnos, but, the Batman movies was buyed en iTunes Store, when i try to put into iPod Classic say that is not possible. I try to convert with iTunes but the option is not available. I believe that the issue is that this movies are in HD, but why iTunes cant convert and transfer like other movies buyed in the store? Or other movies that I buy was downloads in two formats (SD and HD) but this, Batman trilogy no.
    Regards.

  • TS1591 Itunes or ipod Classic Malfunction?

    My problem started yesterday, and I'll try to sum it up in a list for anyone who may have advice:
    1. I connected my iPod to my MacBook Pro yesterday, and when iTunes opened it said there was any issue with the iPod and it needed to be restored.
    2. In restoring my iPod, all the music was erased from it.
    3. After re-naming my iPod in iTunes, I began to sync the music from my music library.
    4. About 20 minutes and ~950 songs later, iTunes and my iPod said that the sync was complete.
    5. The main screen on my iPod still said that there was no music on it.
    6. I safely disconnected my iPod, and after a few minutes I tried reconnecting it but, while the iPod said Connected --> Synchronizing --> Connected, the iPod had not appeared in iTunes at all. (My iTunes is not set up to automatically synchronize with iPod anyway).
    So I went through all the steps for troubleshooting listed here, and I spent about two hours on the phone with the nice folks who do customer support for Apple. We worked through everything together from resetting my iPod to upgrading iTunes to restarting my Mac to switching USB cables, but to no avail.
    Is there anything left to do or is all hope lost? And is my problem with my iPod or with iTunes?
    Thanks for any support!

    No, the Classic is still on sale in the Store, http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/ipod_classic .
    What exactly is wrong with your iPod, what are you trying to do and what happens when you try?
    By the way, I'm abit confused that you post a question about the iPod Classic in the iPod Touch forum and that you've arrived here from a topic entitled Device not recognised in iTunes for Mac OS X, and yet your end details states Windows 7. Perhaps this why is you have been unable to sort out your problem.

  • IPod Classic Album Art Issues

    I see people have been having issues with album art but I think mine's different
    I have the 160G iPod classic, the current iTunes for Windows & iPod software
    My problem is that with the rectangular cover art I use, my iPod will not resize it to fit the thumbnail screen at the corner of my iPod (like it does for the square ones--like CD covers)
    Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to resize the cover art to fit the screen?
    Size I don't think is an issue, since the square ones are not very small (500x500 or 600x600. etc.)
    Any thoughts?

    What you see is what you get. There are no hidden commands to get the iPod treat regular images as square. If it matters enough then you probably need to copy the images out to a picture editor like paint.net, change the aspect ratio and paste them back. At least that's what I do...

  • ITunes and iPod Classic Freeze: How Can I Avoid It???

    Sorry if this should have been a part of the longer iTunes and iPods freeze discussion string.
    My 80g Classic is in the mail and due to arrive on Friday. I ordered directly from Apple (for the engraving but obviously not as easy to return).
    After reading all the discussion about the iTunes freezing issue I have a few questions of my own:
    I have Windows 2000 at work, Windows XP on desktop at home and Windows Vista on my laptop. My entire library (combination of original home desktop, smaller work library and a few songs even purchased on laptop) is on external hard drive that I use with laptop.
    Which computer should I connect my new iPod to first? My preference is work since the iPod is being shipped here. It arrives on Friday and I want to start using it on a road trip on Saturday.
    I'm a Manage Manually kind of guy especially since I have music on three different authorized computers.
    Any tips or suggestions that you think will help me PRIOR to actually trying to connect iPod with iTunes would be greatly appreciated!

    NO answer is my answer. I guess I can't avoid it. Thankfully I learned to look at the box that says not compatable with Windows 2000.
    I'm going to give it a shot with Windows Vista. I have latest iTunes on laptop and my old 60g Photo connects just fine.
    Best of luck to us all!

  • Can't update to latest iTunes, ipod touch not appearing in current iTunes but iPod classic is.  HALP!

    Hi there.
    This is driving me absolutely mad!
    I am not completely computer illeterate but I don't want to go poking around in any registry files and things like that as I would most likely break the Universe if I did.
    Basically, for some random reason a few months ago iTunes wanted me to download it's new version.  I said ok and it proceeded to do it's thing.  Then I heard the 'I'M BROKEN' sound that my laptop makes when something goes wrong or there is an error and it's saying that there is an error with something or other and it can't complete my request to update.
    After that I have not been able to connect my ipod touch 4th gen.  At all.  To anything.  I've tried downloading alternatives to iTunes to see if I could work around things that way but it seems my ipod won't connect to them either. 
    I've fiddled around with USB's, buying new ones, going into my computer and poking around in there to see if I can do something, all to no avail.
    Strange thing is, everything recognises my ipod classic.  Now yes, I could just use that but I want to use my touch! It cost enough, I might as well use it.  If I can't I'll sell it and I'll never buy anything from Apple again as it seems that if one thing goes wrong, there is no way around it.
    I have scoured these boards for answers.  I have followed pretty much every single solution that Apple can give via the FAQ's and troubleshooting things. 
    I have also tried connecting my touch to a friends computer and it is recognised there so it's an itunes or laptop problem and not the ipod.  It still connects as a camera, my USB drivers are up to date.  I've tried deleting and then reinstalling itunes and that doesn't work as it WON'T INSTALL. 
    I was thinking that perhaps formatting my ipod might help but there is no point as it's not the ipod that is the problem.
    If anyone wants me to screenshot the error message then I will be more than happy to do so.
    I just really want some help!
    Thanks to whoever reads this =D

  • No Genius mixes in itunes for ipod classic

    I own an ipod classic and although Genius is ON in itunes, i cannot see any genius mixes in itunes and of course not on my ipod either. I used to see it but after one upgrade of itunes it just disappeard.
    I keep updating Genius but still no genius mixes. Apple people please help

    Hello simoneta10,
    iTunes 11 looks a little different than the previous versions of iTunes, and I'm wondering if you do not see the Genius Mixes because the Sidebar is hidden.  You can follow these steps to bring back the sidebar in iTunes:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    You can find the full article here:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Additionally, I recommend reviewing the following resource to sync the Genuis Mixes to your iPod:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Updated to iTunes 12 iPod Classic not connecting

    After I installed iTunes 12 on my Windows computer over the weekend my iPod Classic could no longer be seen in iTunes. When I went to the device manager there was an Apple mobile device support driver under USB devices with an exclamation mark. After searching I tried restarting the computer and iPod,re-installing iTunes, re-installing the driver. Re-installing the driver gave me an error that the digital signature was corrupted or couldn't be verified. Finally I un-installed the driver by right clicking it in device manager but I checked the "Uninstall driver software" option underneath. Once I did that and scanned for changes the iPod was recognized and a USB mass storage device driver was installed. I could see it in iTunes again and everything was once again right in the world.

    Hey mattrivers,
    Sounds like the first thing we need to troubleshoot is the iPod not turning on and charging, so I'd go through the suggestions in this article:
    iPod won't turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1383
    If you are then able to turn it on and charge it, but it still isn't showing up in iTunes, then you'll want to follow this article:
