ITunes can't see iPod Classic

I have an iPod Classic (120 GB)
It asked me to recovery with iTunes.
When I connected it to iTunes it asked me to download last FW version,
but in that moment I had no internet connection,
so I choose to use the resident version.
Then the iPod has been recovered and it works. But obviously was empty.
After that, the computer see the iPod as a driver,
but iTunes can't see it.
I try with another pc, and is the same.
The tutorial on Apple web site, give a lot of information to try to restore iTunes,
but my problem is not on iTunes, is on iPod!
There is a way to force iPod to recovery mode? Now I have the internet connection again...
Thank You for your help
(and sorry for my english)

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Windows 7 - USB Connection - Windows & iTunes can't see ipod Touch

Hello there,
I've gone through the 5 Rs, and tried associated articles there to see what's going on, but basically...
My iPod touch has stopped wanting to sync with my Windows PC. Over the past two months, I've found iTunes hangs when connecting the ipod touch (just freezes, can't move the window, and then 'frees up' after about 60 seconds.)
The iPod is connected okay - it's charging - it's just neither iTunes nor Windows spot it's connected.
I've tried a variety of ports, cables, etc. I've even reinstalled windows on my PC (drastic, I know, but I was going round in circles, and that's the only thing I didn't have left to do!)
One interesting thing; I can see in the Device Manager that when I plug it in, the Apple Mobile Device driver DOES show in the USB Devices area; so on some level, Windows is spotting it is there - it's almost like it's doing an internal dialogue.
"Right then - Apple Mobile Device Driver, done. USB is receiving power, so I'm charging. And now... talk to the disk system in Windows and iTunes itself.... Nah, I'd rather do nothing."
Any other suggestions and behaviours? I've looked into my security software (but this would only effect iTunes, not the Windows level, plus remember, the driver is spotted and starting - it just isn't going any further...)

I haven't installed that hotfix yet, since it hasn't failed again just yet - no doubt it'll do so tomorrow though grins
Without a word of lie, one of the things that used to get me wondering about the nVidia thing was intermittency of the various symptoms. The way that you're not getting trouble all the time is what is keeping me wondering about it for you.
When I was doing a lot more troubleshooting of them, the other things I'd be seeing a lot (that I can recall off the top of my head) would be device timeout messages, "disk could not be read or written to" messages, and occasional blue screens. But that was back in the early version iTunes 9.x days, so the messages might have changed up a bit.
(Most brand name PC models with nVidia chipsets started shipping with the hotfix preinstalled after a while, and manufacturers like HP shoved links to it on their drivers and downloads pages to catch shipped units without the preinstalled hotfix. So it's a lot rarer nowadays. Tends nowadays to only catch folks with custom systems, or folks who've done Windows reinstalls and haven't caught up again on the hotfixes they've lost.)

ITunes can't recognize iPod classic. Says to restore factory settings. Did. iTunes still doesn't recognize. Lost music on iPod.

I restored my ipod after it said to. Then i put all my music back onto it. THEN, later i tried to sync it again and i got the same error message. Only THIS TIME (now get this) i ejected it WITHOUT restoring it, and everything was erased. Completely blank iPod after ejecting it. Like i said this time i DID NOT restore it. It erased it all on its own. What do I do?

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore. how do i transfer music from the hard drive to my ipod now?

Click on the button for the iPod on the iTunes header bar, e.g.:
or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" after which iTunes 11 will look much as earlier versions did. From there the process is exactly the same.

How do I add/copy songs from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic and copy playlist from iTunes 11 to my iPod? It was easy to do in earlier versions of iTunes, but now I can not figure out how to do it.

How can I see Ipod download on iTunes. (It syncs but I do not see the synced data)

How can I see IPOD download on iTunes after syncing. The data syncs but is not visible on computer screen

For example, when I sync the contents of my address book to the computer using itunes, shouldn't I be able to see what content was transferred to itunes? When my calendar is synced shouldn't I be able to see on iTunes the events that I added to my IPOD?

You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to the some library/computer.

How can I see my classical music sorted according to composers - individual works - performers ?

How can I see my classical music sorted according to composers - individual works - performers ? This is much more useful than sorting according albums.
I have tried using the Grouping tag, writing Composer - Work - conductor there. But if I make a smart playlist, showing only Genre: "classical" and sorting according to Grouping, I see a line for each part in every work: one line for each movement of Mahler's 4th Symphony performed by George Solti, for instance.
What I am looking for is a way so that there is ONE line for each PERFORMANCE, ie, one line for Mahler's 4th Symphony performed by George Solti, below that one line for Mahler's 4th Symphony performed by William Mackerras, and so on.
Anyone found the golden solution? :-)

Itunes can't see my iphone

Itunes can not see my iphone under the devices. Recently used Windows Parallel on my Mac but made sure to de-select the USB in the parallels application and clicked associate this device with Mac OS and not the windows os. I have tried un-installing iTunes, reinstalled with most recent edition. Recycled the iphone on / off. Removed the iphone from the docking cradle to direct connection with iphone to usb and no hubs, cradles etc.... in between iphone and computer without any success. I know the mac and itunes are working correctly because it syncs my ipad, wife's iphone 3gs and kids ipod touch without any trouble. I looked in the hardware listing in the system preferences and the usb lists my iphone as attached. With the iphone 4 plugged in I rebooted my mac hoping it would auto open itunes and auto sync but no luck.

Hello Barbara4090,
When the iPhone unmounts from iTunes during the backup phase, it can be due to some unreadable data on the iPhone that iTunes cannot deal with. It could be data saved by a third party APP on the iPhone, but there's no easy way to determine the what data may be causing the issue.
First try resetting the iPhone by holding down the sleep/power button and home button until you see the Apple logo (ignore the "Slide to Power Off" prompt).
Connect to iTunes and Sync to test.
Next would be to determine whether the issue is actually with the iPhone or the MacBook Air.
You mentioned that you also use an iMac.
If the iMac is running at least 10.4.11 and has a current installation of iTunes 8.0.2 on it, you can use the iMac to isolate the source of the issue.
If you have essentially the same information on both computers, you can do this test in the existing user on the iMac.
If you'd prefer not to intermingle any data from the iPhone you can create a new User on the iMac and test:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
Before connecting the iPhone to the iMac, put a check in the "Disable Automatic Syncing for iPods and iPhones" in the Devices section of iTunes Preferences.
Connect the iPhone and then right-click or control-click on the iPhone under Devices and choose "Backup."
If the iPhone cannot be backed up on the second computer, then it is due to some unusable data on the iPhone that cannot be backed up.
After the test, you can delete the new User if you created one.
If that is the case, then you may need to restore the iPhone and choose the option to restore from a previous backup at the end of the restore process:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
I would do this on the computer that you normally sync the iPhone with.
If, on the other hand, the iMac can backup the iPhone successfully, then there is possibly an issue with the MacBook Air or it's software:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
Hope that helps,
Charles H.
