ITunes won't connect with iPod

Whenever I plug in my iPod, it begins to connect, but instantly goes to the "Now Ejecting" screen.
It won't even show up on iTunes either.
This might be because last time I was updating it, an impatient somebody unplugged it mid-download and a little bubble popped up and said that there may be problems with the iPod.
The bubble was right.
halp.

ITunes won't connect to iPod

I've recently been having problems with my iTunes and iPod. I have the latest version of iTunes and have probably uninstalled it and reinstalled if a million times but it still won't connect to my iPod which is basically brand new. Every time I plug my iPod into my computer freezes. So then I have to unplug the iPod and a message comes up on my computer that says the iTunes file that reads iPods was not installed correctly. But uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn't seem to fix anything so I haven't been able to update my ipod in awhile. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it???? If so, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you only reinstalled iTunes, it might be worth reinstalling all the iTunes components.
Here is a method for uninstalling them before you reinstall iTunes:

The symptoms are not the same as your, but I guess it might be relevant.

My iTunes won't sync with iPod

I just found out that my hard drive is partitioned and I moved all of the music from my C drive to the D drive and now when I open up iTunes it doesn't have any of my play lists or any of the music.
So I imported it all back into the iTunes music library manually but none of the play lists are there any more and now when I connect my iPod or iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognize them and says "this iPod is synced with another account already." Then asks if I want to erase the info on the iPod and replace it with the iTunes library, but that will erase all of my play lists and pictures and everything else...
Is there any help out there for me???
Rick

Hey, Thanks for the response. I have already done that. I changed the location of the music files per the directions on the support website, but even after that when I connect my iPod to my computer it doesnt recognize the iPod and it keeps saying that the ipod is assigned to another computer. So, I think there are some files that I didn't move over when I transfered the original iTunes files from my C drive to my D drive and I don't know how to fix that.

ITunes won't connect to iPod due to an unknown error (0xE800000A)

Hello all,
I have had my iPod touch for more than a year and I really love it, having had no problems whatsoever. However, a few days ago, I realized that it wouldn't mount in iPhoto or QuickCapture. I did several tests and decided to do a restore. Backed up my contents on my computer through iTunes. Now the iPod has been restored, I can't even connect it to iTunes. When I plug in the USB, I keep getting the above message. Have tried several USB ports to no avail.
Not only is my iPod now musically empty, I cannot even restore its backup since I can't connect it to the cpu.
Please help!
Mac: OSX 10.7.3
iTune 10.6.1 (7)
Ipod touch 4th Gen IOS 5.1.1

Thanks again,
I have looked carefully. Have tried the USB maneuver to no avail.
I cannot find any filed named Lockdown using the "Go to folder" in Finder...
Any suggestions?

ITunes won't work with iPod despite several attempts

Hello everybody
I have a tricky problem with iTunes. I have used it and iPod nano for couple of years flawlessy, but now iTunes 8.2.1 throws a following error message (when connecting iPod to usb-port):
"The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly."
"Please reinstall iTunes."
Then I surfed to Apple-homesite and did as two support article said:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano/
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
But the same problem still bothers. I have tried even with older iTunes (6 and 7), but same error appears. Could my iPod be broken? It is weird, that Windows XP will found iPod normally and shows it as removable harddisk in My Computer.
The iPod is out of warranty (due to it age), so I quess Apple won't care about problems anymore.

Problem solved. The harddisk was formatted and Windows and iTunes re-installed. Hopefully this problem won't appear very soon.

ITunes won't sync with iPod Classic

Hi Helpful people,
Sorry to ask the same question as a lot of others but nothing seems to be working.
I have a 60GB iPod classic and I'm running iTunes 10.6.1.7
iTunes detects my iPod device.
In the iPod summary I have open iTunes when iPod is connected ticjed and sync only ticked songs and videos ticked.
I have tried sync'ing like this and with both unticked.
I have triied sync'ing from this page and also the File drop down.
The best I have achieved so for is it saying it is sync'ing but I don't get the usual message at the top of sync'ing 1 of 5226 or whatever that I used to.
Any tips from cyberspace?

Hi elleestgemma,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to use this article to confirm that iTunes is set up to sync automatically:

ITunes Won't Sync with iPod Touch

Since migrating to my new iMac my old iPod Touch would not sync with iTunes. After following the articles on reinstalling the mobile device support I found that the iPod would only sync with iTunes once before it was necessary to reinstall again. Not very helpful.
Anyway, the solution is here! Run software update, as there is an iPhone SDK patch ready and waiting for you. Downloaded and restarted the iMac, and hey presto we have an iPod again, hoorah.

Bingo! Worked for me too (running Software Update and installing the iPhone SDK update).
I'm also staggered that this isn't explicitly mentioned as a likely fix in the general troubleshooting page for this connection problem on this site. As someone who diligently -- but manually -- downloads all patches and updates, I never use Software Update, and yet I could not find the iPhone SDK update available to download manually.
Background: my 2nd gen iPod Touch refused to be recognised by iTunes after upgrading my machine to Snow Leopard. iPod recognised by iPhoto and in iTunes on another Mac. Tried every troubleshooting item on the list at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
Notice that the suggestion to try Software Update is way down the list and is easy to disregard if you prefer to update your machine manually, as I do.
Given the number of users with this problem (I've read through dozens of posts looking for a fix for a good three weeks now) you'd think someone at Apple would reorder the troubleshooting list or at least highlight this option. Hopefully anyone else with this issue will stumble upon this thread, as I did, and get a happy result.

ITunes won't sync with ipod classic, keeps asking for authorization

I have a brand new Macbook Air. I transfered my iTunes library from my old mac to the new one. However, some songs weren't on the old computer, they were only on the iPod classic.
When I try to sync the iPod classic, it tells me 539 songs aren't on the new computer, should it sync? I say yes. Then it says that the computer is no longer authorized. I fill in the authorization with the correct userid and password (it comes prefilled with a very strange userid that I've never seen before.)
It tries to sync, then I get the same message, that the computer is no longer authorized.
I'm assuming there's a certificate or cookie some place that's out of wack -- can you tell me where it is and I can go delete it?
Thanks
PS. I was able to successfully sync my iPod Nano to the new computer without this issue at all. Then again, it didn't have any songs on it that weren't already on the new computer. I haven't tried syncing my iPod Mini to the new computer yet.

Updater won't connect with iPod

I have a 20GB iPod that has been working fine up until a couple weeks ago, and then began freezing all the time. I want to restore the iPod because reseting it does nothing, and I have the latest updater.
However, the Ipod doesn't connect to the updater(i have windows not Mac), or to my iTunes either. Any Ideas?

Yeah. I am having the same problem installing the new ipod software. my pc no longer recognises my ipod...

ITunes won't connect to Ipod touch

Hi I have an iBook G3 with OS 10.4.11. The latest version of iTunes I can download is 8.2.1. I just bought an iPod Touch 3rd generation 32 GB from which I thought I could use with this version of OS and iTunes. Turns out when I plug it into my laptop, it says that this version of iTunes will not support iPod Touch. When I go to the download page for iTunes, it says that 8.2.1 does support iPod Touch. I tried redownloading 8.2.1 to no avail. Can someone please help me? I am in the process of trying to save enough money to buy the new MacBook Pro but until then I need help!
Thank you

It does seem odd that a Mac with 10.4.11 and iTunes 9 will not sync. The Apple page for the OP iPod model states 10.4.11 and iTunes 9: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC008?mco=MTM3NzY1NzA So if iTunes 9 did properly install it is curious what the issue would be? >I tried installing the iTunes 9 and it installed but still when I plug the iPod in, it says I need 10.1 or later of iTunes

TS2529 Itunes won't sync with Ipod in Windows 7 64bit

I have Windows 7 64bit Pro. I have an Apple Ipod Touch 3G. I have the latest 10.6 iTunes software 32bit version. (64 bit version too unstable.) I plug my Ipod Touch into computer, I hear the "beep" that my computer recognizes it's plugged in, but iTunes doesn't recognize it nor will it sync with it. I can't force it to sync in the iTunes menu under "File" either.

Try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I think you may have to use the 64 bit version.

ITunes won't sync with iPod Touch after factory reset

I recently bought a used iPod Touch 3rd Generation 32GB and I erased and reset all settings on the iPod. It told me on the iPod to hook it up to iTunes, so when I got home that's what I did but I can't use my iPod on iTunes. The only thing that pops up is upload images which it can't because it is a 3rd Generation iTouch.
HELP PLEASE

Start with some basic steps:
- Restart both your computer and iPod
- Try another usb cable
- Try another usb port in the computer
- Make sure iTunes is up to date
- Temporarily disable any security software and/or firewalls
For further troubleshooting steps have a read through the article below based on your computers operating system:

ITunes won't sync with iPod

A few months ago I had to move my iTunes library to a bigger storage location. We have 5 computers on a network so I just moved the files to a drive on another computer and "showed" iTunes where to find the files. Since then I haven't been able to sync any new songs they I download off line or from a cd onto my iPod. I tried the 5R's and nothing worked. So now not only can I not snyc my iPod with iTunes but I have no music on my iPod. Can someone please help me?

hiya!
Since then I haven't been able to sync any new songs they I download off line or from a cd onto my iPod.
hmmmmm. given that you're on a network, we'd better check to see if you're getting a version of this issue:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

ITunes won't sync with ipod clickwheel (windows xp)

Yes, this is yet another problem happening right after updating to the new itunes. Everything seems to be working just fine on iTunes and the 'pod, but when it syncs, nothing happens. it just says the normal ipod updating message for about 5 seconds, then does says ipod updated. The problem is that I keep checking my ipod afterwards, and it hasn't actually updated anything. what a liar!

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
Strange iPod behaviour.
