Mac os x 10.7 not recognizing ipod classic

i plug in my 80gb ipod classic, it says it's connected on the ipod. but the computer has no idea that it is there. It worked completely fine until i updated from Snow Leopard to Lion. i don't understand what's going on. i don't think i've done anything wrong. i paid for a good update and did not expect this to happen. if anyone can help i would feel better about upgrading. thank you!

Have you managed to get it to install?
I have tried to install the combo update today, it hanged with "1 minute left", for 40 minutes.
I found the following lines in the log:
14.02.12 15:21:43,452 installd: PackageKit: Failed to move active dyld cache file /var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64 to /var/run: No such file or directory (2)
14.02.12 15:21:43,452 installd: PackageKit: Failed to move active dyld cache file /var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64.map to /var/run: No such file or directory (2)
So I did on the terminal:
cd /var/db/dyld
sudo mv dyld_shared_cache_x86_64 /var/run
sudo mv dyld_shared_cache_x86_64.map /var/run
And: the install continued and finished some minutes later!
Cheers,
Stefan

ITunes not recognizing iPod Classic

Ok, so this post is going to be a little long since I need to explain what is happening with my iPod Classic 160gb.
I noticed a few days ago that songs were 'disappearing' on my iPod when I would listen to it through iTunes on my computer (When I say disappearing an exclamation mark would appear between the song number and the song title in iTunes-- when I would try to start the song iTunes would automatically skip to the next song-- acting as if the song wasn't there). I disconnected the iPod after I was done listening, shut down the computer and turned off my iPod.
The next day I started up my computer and plugged in my iPod. Windows came up and said that it recommended a disk scan. I ok'd the scan. Afterwards, all of the songs had disappeared off my iPod and now iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod. Windows recognizes the iPod-- itunes does not.
**As a side note, in the iPod menu, in settings, the window on the right hand side of the screen show about 37GB of free memory. This was about how much was left with all my music on the iPod. However, if you go into any other menu, eg songs/artist/playlist it says there is no music/artist/playlists.
I've gone through all of the troubleshooting steps listed for the iPod classic and windows 7. iTunes is still not recognizing the iPod. I've also tried on another computer-- stil no luck.
I understand that the classic cannot be reset without iTunes (this is a stroke of brilliance on Apple's part). What can be done if after all of the troubleshooting steps iTunes STILL does not recognize my iPod? Has this iPod given up the ghost?
Thanks, Mike

Hello there,
I would first start with this article assuming you are running Windows. Be sure to attempt each and every possible troubleshooting procedure as needed to try and resolve the issue.

Itunes 11.1.5 not recognizing ipod classic 160gb

After updating itunes my ipod classic 160 gb is not recognized by itunes and now simply crashed... any help please?

Well, my 3rd gen and 4th gen iPods from 2003/2004 (as well as my 1st gen iPod shuffle) still work fine with the latest iTunes, so Apple not supporting older devices is nonsense. The owner DOES need to take care of them, so that they do not break.
If the iPod "crashed" and is not responding, the first thing to try is a Reset (restart)

ITunes not recognizing iPod Classic 6th Gen

Hi, here's hoping somebody can help with this problem.
My iPod has 105GB of music on it and it works fine but within the last few days has kept requesting me to run a disk check to fix files which I've done but it does not connect to iTunes.
After running disk check it reports that files are fixed but clicking on details, it reports that volume created on 15/09/2014 refers to a disk that appears to be a non-windows XP disk!
I would certainly appreciate some help in trying to sort this problem out.
With thanks, Brian.

Hi brianfrombourne end,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod is working but is not recognized by iTunes or your computer.
I recommend starting with these two articles to troubleshoot the issue:
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
From:
iPod not appearing in iTunes
These articles have a lot of good steps that can help, whether your iPod is not showing up in iTunes or Windows.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

ITunes not recognizing iPod Classic; tried many solutions but none seem to work

Dear Apple Support Community,
I just dug up my 6 year old iPod Classic from the grave and would like to start using it again as my HTC's headphone jack is extremely faulty lately. My iPod Classic is completely empty - I have no music, no photos, nor videos on it.
My problem is that on my Windows 8 Laptop, Windows is able to read the iPod, however, iTunes cannot. I went over to the Support page and tried almost every recommended solution out there, and nothing seems to work.
I have:
Tried different USB ports
Performed a Restore/Recovery after selecting 'Format' from Windows ExplorerIt is interesting to note that, whilst iTunes doesn't read the iPod normally, it did show up in the button (Spotlight button?) next to the iTunes button when performing a Restore
Uninstalled and Reinstalled every Apple application and program from my Laptop, including iTunes, Mobile Support, Bonjour, and more, and also, deleting any remaining folders related to Apple.
I have tried alternatives to iTunes such as CopyTrans and Syncios, but all seem to fail.
Troubleshooted my iPod various times
Restarted any Apple related Service as well as any Processes from Task Manager
Searched for Updates on Device manager -> Apple Driver and everything is up to date
It's worth pointing out that:
When opening the iPod folder in Windows Explorer (after enabling Hidden Folders), inside the 'iPod_Control' folder, there is no 'Music' folder; not sure if this is intentional or simply because there is no music file on my iPod.
The Software Version (which displays prior selecting 'Restore') is 2.0.1. If this is outdated, the option to Update Software is greyed out and unavailable.
My iTunes is up to date.
iTunes does tend to freeze up when attempting to read the device, but is perfectly fine after a while, it just does not display the device (implying it must have failed to detect it).
It is the first time using iTunes on this laptop (laptop is 4 months old), and has never had an Apple Device connected to it before.
iPod and iTunes used to work fine 6 years ago on a different PC which is no longer at me.
If anyone could shed some light on this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Please do not hesitate for any further information related to both iPod or Laptop.

See Corrupt iPod classic. What are the stats like?

Itunes not recognizing ipod classic, windows does, help

I have an ipod classic that has not had new music installed on it for over a year. I have vista 64, vista recongnizes it itunes does not. I checked connection to itunes with my sons itouch and it works fine. I have done everything i can think of through apple support except buy support including uninstalling itunes, quicktime, etc.. and reinstalling, did not work. I installed itunes on a clean version of xp on another computer, with the same results. I have put ipod in disk mode, itunes still does not recognize it. what else is there to do? format ipod? will this help?
Thank You in advance, grandpa will be very please to have new music to listen to.

Hmmm. If no iTunes is recognising it, it might be worth trying a disk check on the iPod itself. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors:
[Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, can you get (at least) enough recognition to do a restore in iTunes?

ITunes 12 not recognizing iPod classic

I was having this problem and saw a LOT of discussion about it involving things like putting the iPod in disk mode, bad cables etc etc. So I then tried hooking my iPhone up and it worked fine but had a lot of storage on it. So I spent some time with a Map Ap cleaning it all up. I disconnected it correctly from iTunes and then plugged my iPod back in. Miraculously iTunes recognized it and synched it just fine. I then disconnected it and waited a bit and hooked it up again and it STILL worked!! A Miracle. Please put this in all of the discussions on this topic because there is a lot of talk about this both at this site and on the Internet.

First off, you are right, it's a 32 gb I believe.
After several attempts and iTunes freezing up, I decided to switch out my sync cable to see if that would fix the problem. It did!
So problem solved, I just switched out syncing cable and it worked fine. Go figure.
Thanks.

Other computer not recognizing Ipod touch

I gave my ipod touch 4th generation to my brother. I reset it before I gave it to him but his computer doesn't recognize the ipod and neither does my dads computer. My brother has a macbook and my dad has a mac desktop. What could be causing this? How do I fix it?

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
You should have iTunes version 10.7 or later on the iPod and that requires OSX 10.6.8.
Hower, you shuld be able to sync (but not restore) the 4G with OSX 10.5.8 if you have iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes 10.6.3

Computer not recognizing ipod touch 1 generation

My Mac is not recognizing my 1st gen iPod Touch. I just updated to Snow Lepard, finally... Now it will not recognize the iPod. Checked for updates and downloaded those for 30 minutes, not any better. Any ideas?

Let me see if I can remember...
Hold down the Home button and then hold down the power button to power it down.
Hold down the Home button while connecting the iPod to the computer via the USB cord.
It should start up and show the iTunes icon and a picture of a USB plug on the screen. Release the Home button. At this stage iTunes opened up and said that it detected an iPod in the process of restoring. Click Restore (or Continue, or whatever it was). I was told I needed a software update, so I accepted that. It took about six minutes to download on my cable internet access. When the new software was installed iTunes tried to restore the iPod, but it was taking forever. After several minutes (five?) I got an error. I clicked OK and, leaving the iPod connected, restarted the computer.
When the computer restarted iTunes started automatically and detected the iPod. I clicked Restore again, and this time the restoration was successful. When it was done, it began synching the iPod (another long process, since I keep over 3,000 tracks on it).
I'm going from memory, so you may want to search for specific instructions on restoring an iPod Touch; but I'm pretty sure that was the sequence of events.
Good luck!

Ox upgrade / itunes not recognizing ipod/iphone

Just updated to ox 10.6.7 and neither my 4th gen ipod or 3g iphone are being picked by itunes. Can someone give me some pointers to resolve this? They are charging but not recognized by itunes. Thanks.

11.1.4.62 itunes update not recognizing ipod touch

Please Help. Did the update to Windows 8.1 yesterday and now iTunes does not recognize my iPod(s) etc. I looked in Windows and device shows up but now in iTunes. I downloaded the new iTunes and reinstalled (Repair) and that did not help. Anyone have any suggestions at all?

See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

USB Device Not Recognized (IPod Touch 5g) (Win 7 64 Bit)

I have seen many threads for this but nothing that they suggest has fixed this for me.
http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u45/JediJake2429/Capture_zps9d26bcea.png
I have an I touch 5g Model MD724LL/A, IOS 7.1.1
I have two Win 7 64 Bit Machines.
I tried two cables,
I tried two computers,
I have restored it,
I have put it into recovery mode,
I have uninstalled all apple software, and removed all traces from the registry,
I have done a fresh install of Itunes on the laptop which had never had it on there before,
I have ran the windows troubleshooter, and the Microsoft fix it troubleshooter,
I have removed all traces of the ipod driver and tried updating,
I have updated the driver from the itunes folder on my pc,
I have tried everything listed here: My iTouch 5th generation is not recognised by my computer. why?
I have tried everything listed here: Windows 7 blocks my iPod Touch
I have tried everything listed here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/ipod-touch-5 th-generation-not-recognized/85dac803-680e-4ce8-842c-9f58b0df7f7f
My wife even took it to the apple store today and they told me that it is a windows 7 issue. they basically would not do anything for her.
Funny thing is, after trying everything that was suggested to me online, by those at the apple store, and using my own PC knowledge as I also work in IT, it still does not recognize the driver. So it seems to me that Apple need to get their drivers updated to be compatible.
I currently have a $400 piece of crap Ipod that I cannot use because apple cannot make a driver that works.
Anybody that has anything new to suggest, be my guest.

Illaass,
It works connected to another apple device. I have TWO windows 7 64 Bit Machines both with widely different configurations, and they both have the same exact issue. This IS a driver issue, that much I agree with apple on. However its not a WINDOWS issue. APPLE makes the driver that is installed with Itunes. That Driver does not work. (As a side note, Apple really should get their head out of their A$$ and come up with better solutions vs telling their customers to restore their windows config. That's straight up BS.)
JEM24,
I have done that. I have also taken a PC that had never had any apple software on it and installed itunes on that. Tested, same result.
