New ipod classic. the usb cable will not disconnect. totally stuck
We have done everything we were supposed to do. as far as pressing eject and then squeezing the sides. The cable is totally stuck in the ipod. I don't want to use more force than we are using. This is our third ipod. We know how these should disconnect.
That font color is almost unreadable, please use another.
Your iPod Classic almost certainly is not USB, but FireWire

I know this because the USB (type A) socket has not changed since it came out and early iPods were FireWire, not USB>

I have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music
i have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music
The first two generations of iPod (that used a standard 6-pin Firewire cable) don't work with Windows. There was a workaound through MusicMatch for the second-gen, but I have no idea if that software is still available, or even if it will install on a modern copmputer (Windows ME, 2000 and XP era).
If instead of original, you mean the first model that got labelled as "classic," with a dock connector, if you describe exactly what appears on both the iPod and the PC screen when you plug it in, somebody might be able to help you. My first recommendations would be to (1)try a different USB cable, to see if that's the problem, and then (2) try synching with a different computer, to see if your PC is the problem. If neither of those result in success, then the community here can help you to try troubleshooting the iPod itself. -

Are you sure the error message/prompt isn't referring to the amount of disk space available on your PC's internal hard drive? If you head to Start -> My Computer. How much space is free on your C: drive?
Maybe it would help if you could post a small screen shot of the error.

HELP! New iPod Classic 80GB Recognized By Computer, Not iTunes
I have a brand new ipod classic, and it refuses to be recognized by itunes so i can install it. The "install new hardware" wizard pops up instead and it thinks it is a USB Mass Storage Device. I've tried everything on the apple support page.
PS I am aware that this sort of question probably has been answered before. I am new to this board haven't found the information i need. thanks for the help!Hi,
I'd been really frustrated with ITunes not recognizing my IPod after failed attempts at using the "5Rs" to resove the issue. I just wanted you guys to know that I found a resolution posted under http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372 and after following the instructions, I "forced" ITunes to recognize the Pod and it is right now, as we speak, syncing my entire library back to the IPod! THANK YOU to whomever posted this solution! I was so lost without my IPod and was about to go on a trip without it! Whew! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Charge iPod with the USB cable
When I connect my iPod to a computer whithout iTunes installed, I get a new drive in windows. But on my iPod I get symbol in the display that says that I should not remove the cable before I disconnect the iPod in windows.
In this case the iPod charge until I disconnect the iPod in windows.
When I use iPod with my computer where iTunes is installed, I can press the Eject iPod button in iTunes and the iPod still get power from the USB cable, and the iPod still charge.
Is there any software so can do the same job as in the iTunes for eject iPod? Beacuse then I can charge the iPod with only the usb cable and still listen to the music.
iPod U2 SE Windows XP Pro
Windows XP ProI would try here first.

USB cable will not plug into my 6555.
The USB cable that came with my 6555 will Not plug into the phone. It seems to be slightly too big. The Nokia Accessories page lists CA-101 as the right one (for $30.00). However, the cable that came in the box has no designation so I cannot confirm the right cable was packaged. I bought this phone at Best Buy and there is no reference on their web site for a USB cable accessory. I do not want to order a $30 part to replace one that was mis-packaged. Does anyone have experience with these micro-USB cables and can confirm which is the right one and where to obtain one? Regards.
Solved!
Go to Solution.As promised here is my follow up.
I went to Best Buy and talked to the sales team lead. The cable that was packaged in the 6555 box has a *mini* USB connection. The pjone requires a *micro* USB connection. So, my assessment that the cable end would not fit was accurate. The box was missing a small adapter that converts the mini cable end to a micro cable end. He offered to sell me a universal USB cable with the adapter included for half the listed retail price. I paid $8.00. (better than the $30 for a CA-101 from Nolia).
The adapter fits the 6555 USB port. I tried both the universal cable and the Nokia cable to link to 2 of my PCs (w/ Win XP) after installing the Nokia PC Suite. Neither worked. It seems that the PC does not recognize that the phone is there. I know there are other posts with related issues on this forum. So I will drop this thread and search for answers to the latest problem.
Thank you to all the folk who have shown an interest here and posted your thoughts / suggestions.. Regards, Bryan -

The iTunes store will not leave the page for downloading iTunes 10. I just deleted iTunes 10 because of errors to purposely go back to version 8.2. Now I would like to keep 8.2 and not upgrade. How do I get this page to go away, or just keep 8.2? I would like to only have a version before 9.0. Please help!

Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem! My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar. When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over! I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good. I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work! The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated! I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing! I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol. I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!
Try on another computer to help determine if iPod or computer problem.

My iPod Classic (the older version) will only start up, what to do?
My iPod Classic (older version) will only start up but as soon as it starts up it turns itself off again and it makes quite a loud clicking sound when it turns itself off, I have had it plugged in for quite a while and in the first 30 minutes of having it plugged in it said very low battery but then turned itself off, I have tried resetting it with the menu and the middle button and I can't connect it the computer that it has been synced with either, I really need my iPod and I really don't know what to do to fix it, is it the battery or the cable or something small like that? I'm not sure whether it is charging from the wall socket either.
- After being connected tot a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect the iPod to your computer and and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPOd.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

IPod Classic plays music, but will not show in iTuens or My computer
My ipod was working perfectly fine until 2 nights ago. I never had a problem with it then it just randomly disconnected from iTunes. I I safely removed it then plugged it back in and it froze iTunes, and didn't show in My Computer. After repeating the 5R's several times, I finally got the iPod to show, but it shows on My Computer as a drive that needs to be reformatted (both in normal and in disk mode) and I can't access it at all, when I click the ipod icon, the folder freezes for about 5-10 minutes then goes back to normal and tells me it can;t be accessed and needs to be reformatted. It will randomly show in iTunes but it will tell me that it needs to be restored to factory settings, which iTunes will not do for me.
The iPod itself works perfectly fine when its not hooked into my pc. It does everything its supposed to do. I tried hooking it in other PC's with different OS (all Windows) and I get the same result.
I also noticed that when I go into the iPod settings, it tells me that 28mb is free, when there should be about 30-40gb free. I have tried to use software like copy trans, stellar Phoenix and others but any program that tries to access the drive will freeze, lock up the pc or get a windows error.
I'm using an 80GB iPod Classic, running XP. The iPod, when hooked in, shows the typical connected logo with the two half circle arrows spinning. I get no error codes or messages other than Windows telling me it needs to be reformatted and iTunes telling me to restore it. I have no way--that I know of--to access any data on it. There is nothing in the iPod except for music and 2 videos, I haven't added any extra files to it in 2 weeks.Same problem here - 80 gb classic and same thing happened to me this week - plays fine alone - when hooked to computer says it needs to be reformatted and then when i try to reformat i get error 1415 can't reformat - this is bs and im not shelling out for another ipod - why would it work fine but when connecting it to windows suddenly not work> I think Itunes 10 has got some issues
