My iPod Classic 2nd Generation doesn't sync with iTunes

Hi, I bought a powermac G5 to sync my ipod classic 2nd generation, 20gb (from 2002) over firewire, however when I plug the ipod in, it charges but iTunes does not pick it up. The iPod charges, and works fine. When I got onto 'about this mac' and then firewire devices it says it is unable to list firewire devices (in red writing -error?). Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks

Do one of the following:
> Restart your computer
> Restore your iPod
> Uninstall & reinstall iTunes
> Check on my computer (windows XP) OR computer (windows vista & 7) and see if your iPod shows on there (Windows Only)
I'm not a Mac user so I'm not completely sure if this gonna help.

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

  • IPod touch 2nd g won't sync with iTunes

    My iPad 3 syncs with my MacBook 2007, Lion only, through iCloud but now my iPod touch 2nd g won't sync at all through iTunes. So does this mean it can no longer sync with my computer? The "sync iPod" under edit in iTunes 10 latest version is dimmed and won't sync.
    I suspect I have to give up the iCloud and live manually.
    Apple used to just work. Now I feel I'm swimming in the land of MS.

    Hi LittleBear,
    Can you describe your problem further? Are you getting any error messages in iTunes? Just appearing to sync as normal?

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. Not Syncing With Itunes or Windows.

    I have an Ipod Touch - 2nd Generation 16GB iPod. It has IOS 4.2.1 installed on it.
    My Ipod Touch is still functioning but will not let me connect it with my computer so the ipod is not shown or iTunes or Windows. It was last working on the 19th of January using Itunes 10. I then updated to iTunes 11 and have only attempted to reconnect my ipod today (29/01/13) to no avail.
    I have attempted to connect my ipod touch with 3 different cables, none of which have worked despite all of these working when I attempted to charge the iPod using an external charger. The Ipod has worked as normally, allowing me to utilize all the available features. I have attempted to resolve this problem myself and have attempted the use of differ cables, as described above. I have also tried to restore the Ipod and have turned the device on and off, numerous times. Furthermore, I have also turned off the Apple Mobile Device and have turned it back on but it has not rectified the problem.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.
    Next try:

  • My brand new iPod Touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes on my Windows Vista computer!  Please help!

    I have tried every trick in the book and read every thread on why my version of Windows Vista will not allow me to get at the iTunes Store.  I cannot even get this new iPod Touch to sync with iTunes. 
    I've rebooted, soft restart, hard restart, removed iTunes and re-installed iTunes.  Nada...nothing!
    Does anyone else have the same issue and can they offer me a solution?

  • IPod Classic 5th generation will not sync with new MacBook

    I have had a 5th generation iPod classic that I have been super happy with.  I have used it with several PC laptops.  Because I have gone through so many PC's, I decdied this year to get a new MacBook Pro.  Since my old PC was dying it took forever to get all my music and videos transferred to my new MacBook. Anyhow, I have had no luck syncing my iPod with my new MacBook.  I have read several other posts (but mostly older like 2007-2010) that others have had similar problems.  Here is a quick list of what I have done/what has happened:
    Initially, I would get one of two messages:
    'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-124)'
    - 'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.'
    Two times it told me I needed to use a USB 2.0 port (but I have a new MacBook and was using the newer 3.0 port).  I haven't seen that message since.
    It actually "transferred" over 4500 of my 7000 items (I have a ton of music that I use for my job) and then just stopped. When it was disconnected only about 200 songs were actually on my iPod.
    I've restored it several times.
    Seems to "freeze" on random songs or videos and will not continue to sync, even theough the iPod says it's syncing.  Then iTunes freezes.  I have to "force quit." Sometimes (but not all the time) if I try to re-open iTunes, I get a message that says iTunes is locked.
    I thought maybe my cable was bad (it was the original that came with the iPod).  I actually spent $20 and got a new one.  No luck. 
    With the new cord iTunes now gets frozen on the 3rd or 4th song it is trying to transfer. Once I disconnect the iPod (I have to disconnect with ejecting because iTunes is frozen and it also freezes up Finder to eject) my iPod makes an awful click sound and I have to start it by toggling and then holding the play/pause button.
    I have tried enabling disk, manually controlling music, etc. but nothing helps.
    I am sick about it because I rely on my iPod a lot for my job-- and I can't afford a new one since I just bought a MacBook.  I think it has something to do with the fact that I got this new MacBook.  My old PC was getting so sensitive that I didn't download the latest version of iTunes (but I still had the second latest version).
    Any help is appreciated.

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • Ipod Classic 7th generation will not sync with all movies in Itunes

    I just bought an Ipod classic today, due to my iphone 5 not able to connect to my car entertainment system and car stereo.  Needing a 30 pin to connect to it.  So I bought it, connected it to my mac computer, and not all the movie files will sync to it.  I get this message:
    For some reason, some of my movies will transfer to the ipod classic, and some will not.  They are all m4v files.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

  • IPod Touch 2nd gen no longer syncs with itunes?

    I just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Now my ipod touch won't sync to itunes. It syncs with iphoto, although I can't put new albums on it. It doesn't allow me to 'sync ipod' in the itunes menu. And it doesn't automatically sync like it used to. I can't even update my ipod to a newer version, because it won't sync.
    I also don't know if I can update to the newer 5.0 system, as this is an older ipod touch. (2nd generation)
    Please help. Do I have to reinstall itunes, etc. to get this to work??

  • TS4062 ipod classic issues when trying to sync with itunes

    i have an ipod classic which has always worked great when getting music from itunes, but i bought a new computer and now i can't get it to sync. i also have an ipod touch which works fine. i need help figuring out how to sync with my new computer and the classis. any suggestions?

    Update:
    Any new news on this issue from anyone else?
    I left my iPod plugged into my PowerBook over night and when I woke it was functional. However, downloads from iTunes to the iPod take almost 3x's longer than they used to and there seems to be more errors than I've ever experienced (about 1 out of every 10 interfaces). Sometimes the error is that it can't write to the drive (iPod) and sometimes the error is that it can't mount the iPod. Also when the iPod is plugged in and displayed in iTunes, the "used" and "free" info is incorrect. I completely emptied my iPod and it says that I'm using -2.80 GB (impossible unless I've created a blackhole) and it says that I have 10.49 GB (capacity, under Get Info, is listed at 9.28 - which is were it's always been - it's a gen2 10GB iPod).
    Has anyone tried to format there iPod? Is this possible without harming the drive?
    Well, to sum it up my iPod is working but is having errors and bugs all over the place. If anyone has any new news I'd love to hear it.
    SPECS: iPod 10GB gen2, running 1.5(?), iTunes 6.0.4, PowerBook G4 800, OS 10.4.5
