Ipod classic connects to Itunes for a few seconds, then disconnects. Cannot sync!

Help! I have followed all guidelines to uninstall Itunes and related software many times in the past two days. I have reinstalled multiple versions (downgrades) - none have worked. I have tried disabling processes, running Windows in safe mode, and running Itunes in safe mode. I have tried reinstalling the driver. All with the same result.
My ipod classic connects to the computer, shows up as a USB drive, and shows up for a few seconds in Itunes. As soon as it shows up in Itunes, the ipod screen says "synchronizing" (I do not have it set to auto-synchronize), then it immediately says "ok to disconnect." At this point, I can click the ipod icon in Itunes, but anything I try to do says the ipod can't be found (because it ejects itself when it's picked up by itunes).
I have tried resetting the ipod (not restoring) and I have tried to connect it under a different user on the same computer with the same result. At first when I reinstalled itunes I kept getting error messages or obvious problems with the install, but I finally got what seems to be a clean install without any error messages of version 12.0.1.26. All the other version 12's gave me ituneshelper64 dll errors. Any earlier versions and I can get my library back in, but it isn't correct.
I have a Sony Vaio running Windows 7 64-bit. I used my ipod many days a week to listen to books and music on the road. Please help!

Indeed. I forgot about them. Thanks.

My Ipod touch is in recovery mode but when I go to restore it in itunes it only stays connected for a few seconds then ejects itself. How do I keep my ipod on long enough to restore it?

MP3 plays for a few seconds then restarts

I created an MP3 player that works perfectly fine on my local
machine but online plays the song for a few seconds and then
restarts the song. Then it plays completely. The next songs also
have the same behavior.
Has anyone encounter this estrange problem before? Do you
know of a solution?
Thank you in advanced for your help,

I found a way to preload the mp3 before playing it. thank you
for the help kglad.

Installed Itunes: New PC, Windows 7 x64, updated ipod software, click to eject ipod, PC goes to blue screen, dumps data, restarts; songs do not play correctly on ipod. IE: play a song - only first few seconds will play. Some songs play fully, some do not.

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds

My Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds, i can skip to the next song but it happens again for every song..
the thing is its random, sometimes 5secs or 10 secs or at the most a whole minute
i have updated, restored, reinstalled an all that but i really dont want to send it back as im in afghanistan and would be weeks before i see it again an i use eveyday!! for running.. i thought maybe sweat had got inside it, its not the headphones i have already tried swapping them.
please help out a soldier in need?

mine is doing the same thing; I have updated it, and restored the factory settings, and it still isn't working. I use mine for running as well; I think it has something to do with the sweat. Hopefully someone posts with a fix.

Purchased song plays for a few seconds then skips.

Purchased song plays for a few seconds then skips. The rest of the songs from the album play fine. Purchased 5 albums at once and all songs play except the one. I've looked for a way to report this and can't locate a link and I was unable to reload the song from the purchased link. I am using Windows Vista and Itunes 10.6.3.5

After purchasing an album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out

i purchased 2 albums off of iTunes and when i went to play the one album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Why does my ipod classic (80gb) connect for a few seconds then disconnect?

I have a ipod classic 80gb, granted its old, but it has a big memory so I can store my whole collection. Anyway, when I connect it to my PC (with windows 8.1) it will connect for a few seconds then disconnect. It will sometimes start to sync, but then disconnect after a few seconds. My computer is pretty new, Acer Aspire V5. I have tried reinstalling itunes, a new cable to connect it, different usb ports(2) and with and without the pc plugged into the mains, which is when it starts to sync for a brief second. Has anyone else had the same problem??

The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

HT1338 Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.

Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.

Because this is affecting multiple DVD's it suggests a faulty drive. If you were willing to spend a few $ or € and purchase an external optical drive from any electronic shop, that would be a sound diagnostic step to take; possibly a solution and cheaper than replacing the internal drive if counting labour is a factor.

I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
To close apps: Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
To solve internet problem, contact your provider. Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies. Your router may be old and slow.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

Music app stops playing for a few seconds then starts

After updating to lollipop the music app would play for a few minutes then stops for a few seconds then play again, did not have issue with kitkat. Help please.

It's back!!!!!! The problem went away for a few days now same issue. It only happens when I am listening to sound files on the headphones - sudden pause then restart in the middle of playing the sound file, this happens with different music/podcase apps. No issue with bluetooth streaming or speaker phone. So it appears there is a software bug with Lollipop update - never had this problem with KitKat. Factory reset does not fix it. I wish there was a way to revert the phone back to KitKat. Hoping the new Lollipop update would fix this.
