Itunes cannot synch ipod classic

My Ipod crashed during a Synch, the only way i could get any sense was to reset to factory condition.  Now it looks like a new iPod Classic in it's self and it opens itunes when plugged in, but itunes does not list it for synching, can this be fixed?

1. Update iTunes to the newest version.
2. Reboot your iPod for a trial.
3. Restart your computer or mac.
4. Try a different USB cable and USB port.
5. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
6. Try another syncing method: Wi-Fi sync.
7. Reset & Restore your iOS Device.

  • IPod Classic 80gb - "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time"

    Hi,
    Having trauled the Internet this evening, it appears i'm not the only person having this problem. This afternoon I updated my iPod and downloaded the latest software update. Since then, my iPod has not worked, it wont switch on, it wont reset and when I connect it to my laptop, iTunes displays the "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time". Does anyone have any suggestions?
    I have tried downloading version 1.03 and putting that in the Apple software updates folder, as suggested in another thread on here but that does not work. I have tried to reset it whilst plugged into my in car charger, this doesnt seem to work either. As this seems to be a common fault, there must be a way of sorting it?
    Cheers!
    Sean

    My 80Gb iPod Classic died a few days ago, shortly after installing the latest iTunes update, syncing it and then plugging into my integrated iPod kit in the car. I could not get the iPod to switch on after this and it would not appear in Windows explorer or iTunes (although I did get the rather unhelpful "iTunes cannot recognize iPod at this time" message). I tried various suggestions from the web but to no avail.
    I've managed to resolve the problem by uninstalling version 7.6.1.9 and all associated apps (iTunes, Safari, Quicktime and anything called Apple xxx in Add/Remove Programs). Then I downloaded and installed the previous version of iTunes 7.6.0.29 (you can get this from http://filehippo.com/download_itunes/3694/) and this seemed to sort the problem.
    Needless to say, I won't be updating my iTunes version for some time!

  • Problem syncing itunes 12 with ipod classic on a PC

    Hi I just purchased a new Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 and installed the latest itunes 12 on it, but it won't sync with my ipod classic.  The itunes detects my ipod classic, but won't sync the music files and just ejects the ipod instead.  I have tried installing an older version of itunes onto my computer (version 11) but version 11 won't work on this laptop.  Please help!

    Unfortunately I cannot get the movies to play through Quicktime at all on the PC - the movie seems to play (timer runs and the little triagle moves), but all I get is a blank screen... The first time I tried to play one of the files, QT told me I may need to download additional codecs (although it did not indicate which one) - and directed me to the third-party codec download site. However, after downloading several of the different codecs, the .mov files still won't play through QT on the PC.
    Rule of Thumb: never download codec components arbitrarily. Since the files load into the QT Player, what you should have done was open the "Inspector" window and check the "Format:" entry to see which codec was used to compressed the video and then download the "correct" QT codec component and only the needed one.
    Is it not possible to get these files to play on a PC since they were imported and made on an iMac with iMovie?
    I would tend to suspect that you may be using an HDD or DVD camcorder here. Basically, the MOV file container is generic and can hold any valid combination of audio and video compression formats. DV would have imported as DV content. AVCHD or HDV would have imported as AIC/AIFF content which is normally supported intrinsically by QT. On the other hand, the content from MPEG2/AC3 based camcorders employs a special iMovie '08 import/conversion module which converts the AC3 to AIFF and the MPEG-2 "P-frames" and "B-frames" to "I-frames" which effectively turns the video into an M-JPEG track but leaves it labeled as MPEG-2 content which would likely confuse the QT Player. Further, if iLife '08 itself installs the playback component for this compression combination, you may not be able to locate/install a Windows version of this playback codec at all and may end up having to convert your DVD stored MOV files on an iLife '08 equipped Mac.

  • Itunes "sees" my ipod classic, begins to "verify" device but then freezes up

    Hi,
    I have latest iTunes on Windows 7 and I have a couple iPod Classics and a nano I sync with it.   One ipod Classic and the nano work fine, but the other Classic shows up on "devices" and itunes begins to "verify" the device and may even try to "determine tracks to sync", but it will never get past that and freezes up, and i have to "close program" on iTunes.  
    This began happening within the past month (i sync maybe once a month or so).  No other changes that I can recall that might affect this.  I have not waited longer than ten minutes for it to "unfreeze", but normally the ipod is verified and ready for sync in less than a minute.
    Thanks for any help!!

    Hi grindlewald,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If your iPod is not being recognized by iTunes, the first step would be to make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes for Windows installed on your computer.  Then try to sync your device again.  If it is still not recognized, you may need to restore the iPod Classic.  The articles below will help you with this:

    The 5 Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore - page 56
    Retry with a different USB port if you cannot see iPod classic in iTunes.
    Restart your computer, and make sure you have the latest software updates installed.
    Reinstall iTunes software from the latest version on the web.
    Restore iPod classic. See “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” on page 61.

  • Recently, I have been unable to import all of the "songs" or discs from multi-CD operas in itunes to my ipod classic or network hard drive. Only 1 or 2 discs import despite plenty of available space in both devices. Very frustrating! Any suggestions?

    Recently, I have been unable to import all of the "songs" or discs from multi-CD operas in itunes to my ipod classic or Seagate network hard drive. Only 1 or 2 discs or 20 or so "songs" out of a  total of 40 - 80 import despite plenty of available space in both devices. When I check itunes, each opera disc with all of the "songs" are listed. Very frustrating! Any suggestions?

    right click on the songs that do transfer and select create aac version then re sync

  • Why is it taking forever to transfer tunes from itunes to my ipod classic, I have over 6500 to copy and the current rate is 2 tunes per minute

    I am just copying tunes from itunes to my ipod classic, there are 6675 to copy and the present rate of transfer is 2 tunes per minute, which means that it will take over 55 hours at this rate,
    This has never happened before previously it took next to no time so what is happening?

    That show that your original library is damaged and needs to be repaired.  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can't synch iPod classic to iTunes after updating iTunes. a duplicate file name was specified.

    I can't synch my iPod classic. "A duplicate file name was specified." I tried on two different computers on which it had previously worked fine.

    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.
    See iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder for more info.

  • Cannot Sync Ipod Classic with Itunes 11

    After installing Itunes 11, I cannot sync my Ipod Classic. It has worked perfectly up until this version. Here are the options I like:
    Open Itunes when... -- ON
    Sync only checked... -- OFF
    Convert higher... ON (128) (I have a LOT of music I like to fit on this little ipod)
    Manually manage... -- OFF
    Enable Disk Use... -- OFF
    I have tried restoring the ipod and resyncing everything, but that doesn't work eiter.
    I also got some errors about not being able to copy some podcasts (like 100 of them) when I tried syncing after restoring, but I have seen that before and just ignored it and it still gets stuck.
    It gets stuck around song 5, I've left it running for two days and still no progress. Even checking "On this iPod" shows me that no songs have sync'd.
    Help?

    Update:   More information and how I've temporarily solved this problem.  I installed the new iTunes 11 on two computers when it came out both of which have the same specs. One was an upgrade from most previous version of itunes, the other was a new install.  My idea was to move my library to my other laptop as the old one was running out of space. 
    I copied my iTunes library over to my other laptop, installed iTunes and started making adjustments like deleting smart playlists and turning off genius.  My thinking was to see if i could get itunes to run faster on my other laptop.  It did run alot faster with all the genius playlists btw.
    I now have my music in two different locations; same everything minus some smart playlists.  Long story short, my identical playlists that where not syncing did sync from my original laptop. so there is something different between my two laptops that is causing the sync not to work, again my guess is converting tracks to acc. Maybe the upgraded itunes has files that my new install itunes does not which allow conversion of songs to ACC.
    Good news is iTunes now allows you to have multiple locations without deleting your iPod so I can retransfer all my music on my old laptop and keep the library on my new laptop. At least until Apple comes up with a fix.
    Good luck,  I'll drop more info if anything changes.
