My ipod 160 classic ejects itself.

Before I can click on it in itunes it ejects and disapears. I already had it in Disk Mode and have been able ot use it within the past year sucessfully. Now it won't stop ejecting itself. How can I fix this? I even tried a new ipod cable.
-Thanks!

Did you do a simple reboot of both the PC and iPod to see if that does any good?  It wouldn't hurt to also remove any other USB devices if they are connected.
To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    the store where i bought my CLassic doesn't encounter this problem.. i also lend it to my friend and it worked perfectly with him too.. i came up of a conclusion that my PC is the problem.. but how do i fix it?? are there any ipod drivers i need to install in my PC???
    PLEASE HELP ME! I'M DESPERATE =) THANKS!!!
    PS: MY Classic charges when it's connected in my PC..

    hi, i thought i'd offer an alternative solution as i found something that worked for me.
    i got my first ipod yesterday (the classic 80gb) and i have had this problem. it kept ejecting itself intantly. well...i managed to update it to 1.1.2 and sync it once but then i had this problem since. i tried different usb ports and also different cables but nothing worked.
    this is what finally worked:
    before, i always had itunes open and running then plugged in my ipod and i got this problem. i tried closing itunes, and just plugging in my ipod to the computer without itunes running and it didn't eject (nor did it open itunes for me as apparently it is supposed to) so anyway i connected and it held the connection without ejecting, then i opened itunes manually by clicking the icon and it held the connection. at this time i changed the settings to manually sync the ipod and to use it as a hard disc, and since then (only this morning) it has worked ok and not kept ejecting. hopefully it'll continue to work in this way. good luck guys hope it works for you too.
    what a crappy company apple must be to have such a high profile product used my millions and it's just plagued with constant problems and bugs. my mobile has to do 3 times as many things as the ipod and it never has any trouble. sort it out apple!!!!!

  • HT1363 why is my ipod classic ejecting itself from my laptop?

    why is my ipod classic ejecting itself from my laptop?

    Is Enable Disk Use ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab?  Does this happen when you plug the iPod into another available USB port?
    Are there any other USB devices that are plugged in?

  • Ipod Classic Ejecting Itself

    My Ipod glassic keeps ejecting itself before a sync is even complete.  I have tried reseting it, changing cables, changing ports, putting it into disc mode.  I updated Itunes a few days ago and that seems to be the only thing that has changed since I last plugged in my ipod.  It won't even let me restore it from my computer.

  • My iPod connects then ejects itself

    Hello, i've been having this problem for 6 months now...
    It's really annoyng and it's startint to drive me nuts...
    My iPod classic connects then ejects itself automatically,
    i've already tried to put it on disk mode but it ejects itself first and when i suceed, it keeps ejecting itself,
    iTunes doesn't even show the iPod sync window and i've already tried a lot of solutions, none of them seems to work.
    I've visited various forums, but still, no solution until now...
    I even bought a new iPod classic and still, it doesn't sync, i have no f*cking clue about why that happens and
    i'm starting to go nuts cause they are useless because i can't simply f*cking sync them with my f*cking computer...
    Sorry, i'm really raging now...

    Try enabling the iPod for disk use, this will keep it mounted after it has finished syncing. Connect your iPod and when it appears itunes click on it's icon to bring up the Summary tab in the main pane. Check the box "enable disk use" and click Apply to save the setting.
    Something to remember about using an iPod enabled for disk use is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Ipod 160 classic random pause

    Ive read other people having a problem with their ipod 160classic randomly pausing for 2 secs then resuming play from where it left off. Ive also read this is probably an inherent design flaw with to small of a cache because it happens with larger files( i've only had it happen with my apple lossless files and wavs as opposed to my 256vbr mp3s). Is there any fix ive restored, my ipod defragged it, took off album art, and nothing helps. Nothings more annoying than having a random pause as your getting into the music then to have it continue where it left off. THe problem cannot be recreated its random if you rewind to where it occurred it wont repeat there but somewhere else. this happens 5 or more times per hour for me using the higher bit files.
    I bought the 160 for the purpose of storing lossless files yet cant do it without this annoying problem is there a fix or a downgrade. Heck id be happy with no other features or color just to have it not pause while playing music. Ive also read that rockbox is not coming out for the classic and was hoping that might fix the problem. Any soulutions would be appreciated thanks for your time, -Shane

    Hi Mitch, that is a really great point. I so rarely listen to the iPod undocked for extended periods, I decided to test it this morning.
    I have been listening to it now, undocked for around 4 hours and have heard no pauses at all. Yesterday, it was pausing about every 10 minutes or so while playing in the dock. Maybe this is significant to determining the issue...
    Thanks for asking the question, and leading me to a workaround..
    It certainly means I can enjoy the iPod again, even if it's plugged into my HiFi using the headphone jack, and running on battery power. Still sounds great.
    It would be nice if the device worked properly while docked, but I'm a lot happier now regardless.
    Cheers, Bill

    You are correct in thinking that the Classic does not output video signals through the headphone output.
    Check out the cables you need to connect to a TV here.

  • IPod nano randomly ejects itself while connected with iTunes open

    While my iPod nano is connected and iTunes is open, it will randomly eject and diappear from the iTunes left column while songs are being updated. It then proceeds to have errors whenever I connect, saying some sort of file is corrupt.
    I have restored the iPod, restarted the computer, and started from scratch. Whenever I try to upload my songs again, it automatically disconnects about half-way through. This seems to be a continuous problem for me.

  • My Ipod 120 Classic turns itself off after a period off use in my Ipod Dock

    Can any one give advice on fixing the above problem
    Thanks

    Check if the Sleep Timer is activated, in your iPod settings under Extra
    Choose Extras > Alarms.
    Should be inactive or else set it to OFF
    Good Luck!
    Or else you may have to restore the iPod software.

  • Ipod classic ejects as soon as its in!!

    just bought a new ipod classic and the first time i put it in the sync was perfect and got all my music on. Now as soon as I put the ipod in it ejects itself as soon as connected. All my software is up to date, my cable is fine as my iphone works and i have reset the ipod. Any other ideas?

    Well here on this forum, you are not talking to Apple but other users like yourself.
    If you feel that your question wasn't answered properly then you can either escalate the question to the manager of the Apple Store or call Apple Customer Service to report this problem to them.

  • External Hard drive ejects itself

    I recently bought a My Passport Essential USB Hard Drive.  I backed up all of my music from itunes on it.  Now when I try to update my ipod, my external ejects itself.  I think it may be because of a lack of power in the usb ports but I'm not sure how to move forward.  Can I use firewire on this hard drive or should I purchase a powered usb hub?  The drive works fine otherwise. 

    The best thing for you to do is get a powered USB hub, it will help you i have one that has 5 powered devices pluged into it and it has no problems...

  • Brand new Ipod Classic 80Gb - Synching Problems - Ipod ejecting itself

    Bought a new 80Gb Ipod last week after my old one crapped out. Computer also crapped out so had to load all my CD's to another laptop on newly downloaded Itunes 7.5. Hooked the new ipod up to the laptop and immediately had problems with the Ipod 'ejecting' itself before any songs were loaded. Furthest I managed to get was name the darn thing before it ejected. So, tried the 5R's with no success - still kept on 'ejecting' - sometimes straight away, sometimes part of the way through synching the library always with the end result of no songs on the ipod. Tried updating windows, updating Itunes, restarting computer, using different cables, different USB ports (all 2.0) with no success. Took the Ipod to the Apple Genius Bar where they restored it and managed to successfully synch a few tracks. Thinking the problem was solved - took it home and it is doing exactly the same thing again. AAAARRRRGGGHHH. Trawled the forum boards all day yesterday found a few suggestions I hadn't tried - setting it to enable disk use etc etc. When I hooked the ipod up last night it was ejecting immediately after connecting so not even giving me a chance to try the new fixes. Plugged it in this morning for a last ditch attempt and it connected long enough for me to switch on the manual synching and I successfully loaded 32 songs out of 4000 (yippee!!) before it started the same carry on again - disconnecting itself..
    This is so frustrating - what has happened to the ipod??? I had no trouble at all with my old one. A new piece of kit such as this should not be so time consuming and stressful. After this experience there is no way I will buy another ipod.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    I had over two weeks of frustration getting the right collection of fixes installed (iTunes 7.5 and 1.0.2 on the iPod; 1.0.3 should be OK). My symptom was that iTunes starts to go spacey on me when I plug the iPod classic into the USb port. There are long delays that I can't find a good cause for.
    Start up iTunes on your PC.
    Before you connect the iPod to your PC, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode (don't know the article info but there is one on this site; just search for "Disk Mode". There will be a check mark on the iPod screen when you have successfully arrived there.) Then plug it into the USB port on your PC.
    It may take several seconds/minutes for the iPod to be recognized in iTunes (I get some help with this by clicking on the Windows Start button, which overlays part of the iTunes screen, and waiting for iTunes to refresh its screen.)
    Before you click the Sync button, be sure you have chosen all the tabs you want to sync; since my music library is over 40GB, I choose this one first and let iTunes copy over my whole music library. I also check the Enable Disk Use box on the Summary screen. I then go out for coffee or to the bathroom (it takes a while).
    Once everything is copied over, be sure to press the Eject button in iTunes to be sure it is releasing the iPod.(Try my Windows Start button trick above to get positive feedback when it is safe to disconnect.) When it disappears from the list on the left-hand side and the screen is refreshed, it is safe to disconnect the iPod. (I'm not sure this is absolutely necessary, but it works for me.)
    It can be a little dicey to get the iPod out of Disk Mode or even to just turn off the iPod, but keep trying and you should be able to get it back into normal mode with all your music, video, podcasts and photos (haven't tried Contacts or Games) playable.
