My iPod 80g Classic is regonized by Windows, but says there is no disk.

When i go to My Computer, IPOD is in (E:). When i double click it, it says "please insert disk in drive (E:). I then go to Computer Management, Disk Management, and it says Disk (E:) is "unreadable." at this point, i have tried nearly everything. what should i do?

Hello! Welcome to the Apple Discussion Boards!
Here is a helpful article for problems between a PC and the iPod. I'm assuming you are working on a PC as you mentioned My Computer. It is possible that the hard drive has become physically damaged. If the steps in the following article do not work, call Apple or visit an Apple store or authorized service provider for further help.

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. 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
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
    any thoughts anyone??

    Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
    I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

  • How do I take ownership of a hard drive build in windows but installed as an additional disk in my new Mac Pro?

    How do I take ownership of a hard drive build in windows but installed as an additional disk in my new Mac Pro?
    I bought a Mac and have various HDDs, some Portable some SATA, I can right to them and dont seem to be able to take ownership of them, is this to do with the format or Security seting I can't find?
    Any help would be great; thanks.

    Thanks Kaz-K, this was what I assumed it to be.  I have started to move the stuf over to a 4GB internal drive, once done and verified, I will reformat the drive and move it back, blooming nusience.
    Cheers.

  • I've downloaded the new version according to Creative Cloud but when I try to launch the app the window appears saying there is a new version, so I click on download now and it crashes. What's happening and what should I do? Thanks.

    Thank you so much. I finally got it to work. I don't know why it has to be such an ordeal when it comes to Adobe products!

  • IPOD 80g Classic & docking station help!

    Hi everyone, hope someone can help. Bought a friend slimline TEAC cdx60i for Christmas to use with her IPOD 80g. When she puts the IPOD into the dock, it freezes and won't play, she has had to reset everytime. Any suggestions before we return the unit to the store, its nice but won't work half the time & frustrating. I saw an earlier post from 2009 that said this was happening after updating Itunes to a newer version? thanks!

    A bit more info........this is a CD/IPOD charging unit that attached to the tv to play music/videos from your IPOD (maybe that explanation is not necessary). It plays videos fine when choosing the function from the IPOD menu, but when trying to just play music it freezes on the docking station. My friend is worried about resetting it all the time and just plain doesn't want to deal with the hassle, maybe its not compatible with the classic model? Thanks again all.

  • Thin white line at top of ipod 80G classic screen

    Would like to know if there is a way to get rid of this line, which is located across the top of the screen, in the area where the battery icon is located. The screen was fine then I downloaded the latest version of software for the 80G Classic and synced it. Next thing I knew I had this white line across the top of the screen. Is there a way to get rid of the line, or do I have to send the unit in and have Apple repair it? Only had the unit since December 2007.

    Oh - you are good!

  • 3rd Gen 40GB iPod click-wheel is seen by windows, but not Mac

    I just dusted off my old iPod after nearly a year of no use and coulfn't get it to be seen on my MacBook Air with iTunes 7.7. I tried it on my homebuilt PC running Win XP with iTunes 7.7 and it mounted just fine. I did a software update on it, plugged it in overnight to give it a full charge, then tried it on the Mac again. Still no dice. No crash or hang, just as if it didn't exist. But it (the Mac & iTunes)see my wife's and my iPhone just fine. I double-checked and it still shows up and works normally on the PC. I don't want to do a reset if I can avoid, as I have some music on the iPod that isn't on the Mac. It is on the PC, but, it's a hassle to get it across.

    I have a similar problem. I have not used my iPod in a few years. I recently bought a mac. The iPod syncs fine on the windows, but is completely unrecognized by my MacBook Air. I had to buy a USB connector because my iPod had only a firewire cable. Perhaps that's the issue? Disk Utility doe not recognize it. ITunes does not recognize it. In disk mode the screen still reads "OK to disconnect" after I plug it in. Any ideas? (I followed the Rs on the Windows where it's working fine...)
    I am abandoning my PC altogether and I am becoming addicted to podcasts. Getting this to work with my MacBook Air would satisfy my new addiction.
    Thanks,
    T

  • Ipod 80G classic Restore Loop

    A few months ago i accidentally dropped my ipod onto its corner. after that it would freeze and not work properly. eventually it set itself to disk mode. i have no idea how or why. it just did. now when i connect it to itunes it says i need to restore. when i try to update and restore it will go through the first part of the process, but it seems to skip the second half of it. itunes then reads it and tells me that it has detected an ipod in recovery mode and needs to be restored before it is usable again. i tried one solution i found but it failed.
    i reallly wanna know how to fix this if possible without sending it in, im desperate to fix it so anybody that can help please do!!

    Hello!
    Try this:
    1. Open the Control Panel.
    2. Double click on Administrative Tools. Note: If you don't see Administrative Tools, look at the left column in Control Panel for a link that says, "Switch to Classic View," and click it.
    3. Double click on Computer Management.
    4. In the left column, click on Disk Management.
    5. Locate the iPod and right click on it, then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
    6. Click the Change button.
    7. Use the drop-down menu to select a new drive letter. Note: Make sure to choose a new drive letter that is not already assigned to a network drive. The drop-down menu will display all available letters that are not assigned to a physical drive. Drive letters that are assigned to a network volume will still be listed here. It is also a good idea to assign a drive letter other than a, b, c, or d, as these letters are usually reserved for other system drives.
    8. Click OK.
    9. Click Yes on the confirmation dialog.
    10. Close the Computer Management window.
    11. Restart your computer. Make sure you're iPod is not connected to your computer when you restart it. This may cause trouble in restarting your computer, as your computer may try to "boot" to the hard drive in your iPod.

  • Can't Sync ipod 80G Classic

    I just burned several cds that I purchased new that, after importing, only show up in my iTunes in the Recently Added folder in Playlists.  They do not, however, show up in Albums or Artists.  As well, they do not sync to my iPod at all.  Also, the playlist sidebars in iTunes and my iPod no longer match (apart from the recently burned cds that don't show up, other playlist folders that still show on my iPod no longer show on my computer--not sure how long that has been a problem).  I have not tried importing cds into iTunes for awhile, but it was definitely before I installed the most recent update to iTunes (as of 11.13.13).  I tried uninstalling the most recent update and installing a version from a couple updates ago to see if thast would help but I was unable to install an older version for some reason. Any ideas?
