My iPod classis is not recognized by my Macbook and self-ejects immediately after being plugged in?

Hello,
I have an iPod classic and I am using a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Since the last iTunes update i have not been able to connect my iPod to iTunes. I have tried both USB ports and it still won't work. The iPod ejects itself immediately after being plugged in. The usb ports are working, I've tried an iPod touch and an iPhone 4s, so that doesn't seem to be the issue either. Appreciate any help!

    my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • My iPod touch is not recognized on my computer and is only showing the connect to itunes screen.

    I don't know what to do. It was working fine yesterday but now it won't recognize it anywhere and only shows the screen "connect to itunes" which it won't let me do.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Then as necessary
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Help: iPod Clickwheel is not recognized by iTunes 7 and XP  :-(

    I continously updated my iTunes versions, and now my old iPod Clickwheel 20GB is not recognized anymore. Don't know if software of iPod is screwed up or if there is an incompatibility. Also can not reinstall software to iPod that way - or is there another solution??
    Hope someone solved a similar problem before thanks

    Roll back to a previous version of iTunes.

  • IPod 30 GB not recognized by new MacBook Pro

    I have a 30 GB iPod (bought it in December 2006) and used to use it with my Powerbook G4. I upgraded the G4 with Tiger (originally it had jaguar) so I could download iTunes 7 so my new iPod would work with my old G4. Everything worked fine.
    Now I have a new MacBook Pro with Tiger and iTunes 7.1. My iPod will not be recognized by the MBP. I plug it into the USB and the iPod says "do not disconnect," but the battery does not show that it is charging. Also, iTunes does not pick up the iPod and the little iPod icon does not show up on the desktop as it did on the G4. Therefore, there is now way I can properly "eject" the iPod, so I have to pull the plug. It freezes with the "do not disconnect" appearing, until I reset the iPod.
    What is going on with my new MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!

    This is not resolved. I hope to get the official working solution.
    I reinstalled os x on new hard drive. I have no music on my ibook now, but it's still on my ipod (and on my portable storage) categorized into playlists. I also have some podcasts and files only on my ipod. The new HD is not reading my ipod (I imagine it can only be read by the old HD that doesn't exit anymore). I did not save any itunes system files to my storage drive. How can I sync my old ipod with the new HD and keep all the music that's already on the ipod?

    Hello Victor,
    As I suspected, your mail client is likely downloading messages and deleting them from the mail server on which they are stored. When this occurs, the message is also being deleted from your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.
    Set your Microsoft Outlook to leave a copy of the message on the server using the steps in the following article and let us know if this addresses the issue for you: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB12283

  • My Ipod Classic is not recognized by my PC but is recognized on my laptop.

    Hardware: Ipod Classic 32
    Software: Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3
    Issue:
    If I plug the ipod to any USB on the pc I get a notice that says "USB device not recognized"- If I go to the drivers and uninstall, and then reset, it will recognize the unit- briefly flashing the red "do not disconnect" sign and then do the same thing stateing that it's unrecognized.
    However, If I plug the ipod to one of the laptops, there is no issue at all. (I've done the disc mode as well)
    I went so far as to uninstall all the drivers and reset them all and then the ipod was recognized but my keyboard was disabled!  So, I reset again and everything works but the ipod is still not recognized.
    Additionally, I have a slot where I would plug a camera memory card and it also stopped working around the same time the ipod did. The odd part is that if I plug the camera via usb, I can upload pics with no issue- just can't use the slot for the memeory card.
    I was thinking that this is an issue with the driver but it seems intermittent as I have left the ipod plugged a for a while a few times and sometimes it will just start working out of the blue.
    I am not sure what else I can do. Anyone have any ideas?

    Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.

  • My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

    My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.  The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device.  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect.  The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable.  When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine).  There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo.  Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?  I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now.

    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
