Put new battery in ipod. works fine but windows cant access

a few days ago I successfully put a new battery in my ipod.
I followed all the instructions and it has worked fine: charges plays all the music nothing weird.
Then I tried to hook it up to my computer and my itunes doesnt recognize it, windows sees it but I cant access it (says Ipod on drive G). then i went through the process of updating it (2005-11-17) but after a while of attempting to initialize it says "cannot mount ipod". once i click OK it disappears from My Computer and the ipod updater closes.
i also get this prompt before anything:
- drive not ready prompt:
"the drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive and make sure that a disk is insterted and that the drive door is closed"
I did theother 4 R's as well before this and even changed the cable just to make sure. any thoughts???

There is a possibility that when you plugged in your hard drive, after installing the new battery, it didn't plug all the way in. This is what happened to me. I just opened up the case and made sure that the hard drive was plugged in correctly. after that it worked fine.

  • Put new battery in ipod. works fine but windows doesnt see

    Then I tried to hook it up to my computer and my itunes doesnt recognize it, windows sees it but I cant access it (says Ipod on drive G). i am in the process of updating it (2005-11-17) now but it appears to be frozen. the drive is full so i dont really know how long it will take and maybe its not frozen.
    i also got this prompt:

    they are these blue straight plastic things with a little wedge hook doo dad on the end. they couldnt open the ipod initially , i used an exacto knife and pryed it open a little then got the plastics in there. Like changing a bike tube they give you two "irons" to work with. one to hold it open and the other to slid towards the top and bottom. it pops right open. you need to open it from the sides not the bottom or top. The mini i have no idea how to open i also thing the nano is built like the mini. I am sure if you google the battery replacement product it comes with instructions (but make sure you have good eyes, the writing and examples are TINY.

  • My ipod works fine, but won't connect to my car anymore.  It did for two years, I have had the car checked out, and the car works with others' ipods and iphones.

    My Audi is set up to be iPod compatible.  For the first two years of the cars' life, my ipod worked fine.  When it went out, I had the dealer replace the connection wire and check the system.  My car now works fine with iphones and others' ipods, but not mine.  I tried rebooting it and powering down, but nothing has worked to get the car to recognize the ipod.  Would really appreciate anyone's thoughts on the matter.  Many thanks.

    So you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    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. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • Nomad MuVo will not power on even with a new battery. USB works fine, just No Green

    It was working fine. I didn't use it for a couple of weeks and thought the battery was dead. But it will not even come on with a new battery. Any suggestions?

    Since it connects properly to the pc, I suggest loading the latest firmware into it.
    http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/...d=NOMAD%20MuVo
    Make sure that is the correct firmware for your exact Muvo model. If not, then choose the proper one.

  • I have just transferred elements 11 to a new windows 7 64 bit computer using the original purchased disc. Organiser is working fine, but I cant get the Editor to open at all.

    I have just transferred elements 11 to a new windows 7 64 bit computer using the original purchased disc. Organiser is working fine and all my photos are there, but I cant get the Editor to open. It just says editor workspace is loading and then it eventually gives up.

    Try opening directly from your desktop, by passing the welcome screen.
    Go to Windows Explorer>C drive>Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Photoshop elements 11. Right click, then Send to>Desktop
    Double click on the shortcut and see it will open.

  • New project to DVD works fine, but sharing to a Blu ray fails, with a error message "video rendering error 60."  What is that and how do I fix it?

    getting an error message "video rendering error 60" when burning a new final cut pro project to Blu ray.  Burning to regular DVD works fine.  I have burned many other projects successfully to blu ray.  What is this message and how do I fix it?

    If this same timeline can be exported to other file formats and can be shared successfully to DVD, possibly it's the longer render time in the Blu Ray processing that is the problem. In the Finder in Applications, right click Final Cut Pro dot app, choose Get Info and verify that Prevent App Nap is checked. If it isn't, check it and try again.

  • New iPhone 5s 64Gb works fine but glitters in video and sound while gaming and maps

    just got a new one and cannot use it in full
    It works perfect until I start a game or open maps or navigation.
    Then the image and sound rattle as if it's a gpu malfunction.
    Release iOS 7.0.4 and I do not know whether the problem is the result of updated OS or else.
    The second totally the same iPhone works fine with no such problems.
    Should I exchange it or it's some sort of the software problem?
    Erased and restored from scratch 3 times, no change.

    Edit - I've tried rebooting/reinstalling - All of the usual!

  • Ive set up homeshare on my pc and new laptop both are working fine but i dont have an import button to transfer my library across plz help

    i can veiw librarys from both pcs on either computer but when i attempt to transfer music there is no import button on the bottom of my window have i done something wrong with my set up?

    Adrian, so glad to see your post. I have the exact same problem you do. I have two macs running the latest Lion and iTunes and when looking at the Home Sharing libraries there is no import button and there is also no pop-up menu allowing you to see only the files not already in your library. This must be something that was broken in just this last update because I have used those features just a couple of weeks ago.

  • I just replaced my iPod a week ago, and it was working fine, but when I went to go turn the screen on, it wouldn't turn on. Ive tried to put it on the charger and it wouldn't charge and it wont connect to my computer, how do i fix this?

    I just replaced my iPod 5th gen. a week ago, and it was working fine, but when I went to go turn the screen on, it wouldn't turn on. I've tried to put it on the charger and it wouldn't charge and it wont connect to my computer, how do i fix this? I tried to reset the iPod, by pressing the home and power button but nothing works. It's literally a brand new iPod, I dont know what to do now. Help?

    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.

  • HT1338 my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4.  It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.

    my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4.  It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.  I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod.  The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

    Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder.  If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application.  Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.
