TS1363 iPod classic no longer recognised in iTunes (v11)

I have an 80gb iPod classic that, since I upgraded iTunes to the latest version in December 2012, no longer gets recognised within iTunes, so I cannot sync it anymore.
I am running a PC on windows 7, with iTunes v11 (the latest version as I have removed and replaced it several times in the last 24 hours).
My PC does recognise the iPod in "My Computer".
I have spent hours trying all sorts of Apple Troubleshooting guides, to no avail.
First I tried the reset: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Then I went through each of these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
I've also tried various different apple USB cables, and different USB ports on my PC.
My iPhone 4 connects no problem.
My iPod Classic used to connect no problem until I downloaded the latest / current version of iTunes.
Other than not being able to sync my ipod with itunes, the ipod works and behaves totally normal...
VERY frustrating. PLEASE help.
Thanks.

  • TS1369 iPod Classic is not recognised by iTunes or by my PC (XP)

    Hi
    Since I updated my iTunes over a week agao I can no longer sync my iPod Classic as it is not recognised by iTunes or by my PC (XP).  Apple have been great so far and have sent me lots of links and called many times to try to resolve the issue, but to no effect.  They kindly agreed to replace the iPod as it appeared there is a hardware fault as a result of the update, BUT last night my housemate went to update his iPod Nano for his holiday (he uses the same PC but logs in under a different system user and has his own iTunes) and he now has the same problem!!!!!
    I have done everything on this link:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Checked the USB port works with other hardware (yes)
    Changed the iPod cable (yes)
    Removed and resinstalled itunes (yes)
    Placed iPod into disc mode (yes)
    Reinstalled the USB drivers (yes)
    None of it works!  Other hardware works in the USB ports and my iPod is recognised in my work PC!  So something during the iTunes update has caused a major problem that I can't seem to fix I assume on my PC.  When I reinstall the USB drive, the PC then has a pop saying that an ipod is connected, and then immediately after a new pop up saying there is a hardware issue! Aaaaargh.
    At a loss... Any suggestions?
    (The screen of my housemates iPOd nano went blank a few weeks ago and wasuseless, so an apple store replaced it for him; so his new nano is only 5 weeks old!)
    Cheers

  • IPod Classic no longer visible in iTunes after upgrade tp Yosemite.

    I have just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest iTunes. But my iPod Classic is no longer visible in iTunes. It is on the desk top and I can drag files to it, but is there a way of restoring it to iTunes?

  • Ipod Classic No Longer Synchs after Itunes Moved to New Computer

    I successfully restored my itunes from old computer to external hard drive to new computer.  Then I tried to sync iPod Classic 80 GB, but was told I couldn't synch it to new computer.  So I restored Ipod to factory settings and tried synching again.  It put on just a handful of songs I never heard of.  Meanwhile my 10,000 or so songs iin iTunes on my computer did not make it to my iPod.  How to get the itunes over to my now freshly restored iPod?

    Please be patient, sync issues are time consuming, if you are lucky, just a Hard Rest and Restore will solved it.
    Ok Software Version 1.1.2.
    So you can see all your 10,000 songs, in the new PC iTunes, and do you have any problem syncing the iPod using iTunes 10.5.3.3 on the old computer?
    Can you do a Hard Reset  as below
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    On your iTunes please reset alert warnings, so that we can see the errors.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2527?viewlocale=en_US
    We need to see what problems iTunes is having
    Then connect your iPod to the new PC and sync again.
    Have a nice day!

  • New ipod classic not always recognised by itunes

    I have to take the lead out which is probably causing damage as itunes isnt recognising my new 120GB classic all of the time.
    Anyone else with the 120GB experiencing this?

    Well, if the iPod is frozen it won't be recognized by iTunes. At the same time, if it's frozen, it's probably okay to be disconnecting it, as it can't communicate with your computer at the time. Odd though, that it freezes as it connects to the computer. Have you been able to reset the iPod (hold Menu and Select until you see an Apple logo) when this happens? You might try restoring the iPod in iTunes if you haven't already.
    I'd also suggest these steps:

  • TS4062 My Ipod classic isn't recognised by Itunes and it won't sync. I have tried everything-please help!

    I have the latest version of Itunes and I've tried reinstalling it but it made no difference. I recently got a new laptop (a toshiba, windows 8) and downloaded itunes onto it and logged in because I have the same itunes account on other laptops. Syncing is not a problem on the other laptops.
    When I plug my ipod into this one, it just says its connected, thats all. Furthermore, I don't have the option to sync using the Devices tab in File because it isn't highlighted when I plug it in.
    I have tried other things that have been suggested for problems like these, but nothing seems to be working. I'm wondering if its just because my ipod isn't registered or something. If so, does anyone know how to do that?
    Thank you so much in advance for reading this. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

  • My ipod classic no longer appears in itunes on my mac, but it does appear in finder

    I have tried all the steps at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
    As well as those suggested by turingtest2 at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17776595#17776595 (Check your ipod with Diagnostics mode)
    I had:
    Retracts: 495
    Reallocs: 11
    Pending sectors: 0
    So I figure that there isn't a problem with my drive. But then the next step requires you to open itunes and access the ipod summary. But obviously this is useless as my ipod does not show in itunes. Though it does in Finder.
    I have tried reinstalling iTunes, the apple mobile device drive, I've deleted the com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig and AppleMobileDevice.kext files, restarting my Mac disconnecting my ipod and quitting itunes in between to no avail.
    This is ridiculously frustrating.
    Other ipods load in my itunes so I'm assuming it is a problem with my ipod not my mac or usb port or whatever else I've been advised to check a million times over.
    Help, please. I beg you.

    Hi there,
    No I didn't. Someone suggested in another thread that my iPod was registering as a disk instead of a device, so if I removed my iPod as a disk on Disk Utility then it would reload etc. and show up in iTunes. Which it didn't, and instead just cleared all my music (16,000 songs).
    So frustrating.
    Hope if you have the same problem you are able to find a better solution!

  • IPod classic is not recognised by itunes but is by windows - please help

    Hi there.... as title suggests my ipod as of today is refusing to be even recognized by itunes despite it being perfectly happy in my computer. I have tried every step that itunes support suggested with the end result meaning that it now has none of my music on it, so that went well.
    Just before it properly went down I would get something along the lines of Cannot sync - \"Required File Could Not Be Found\" Any ideas?

    Hi, I've been bothering with the same problem on the last two days, and also tried everything apple support had to offer, but to no effect.
    By accident and pure luck, I got out of this mess by the following steps (that will maybe help you):
    Go to "My Computer".
    Look out for the iPodClassic Drive.
    Open it.
    Open the folder "iPod_Control"
    Open the folder "iTunes"
    Look for "extras". It's the iTunes Data Source.
    Open it.
    There I was. iPod back in iTunes.
    Hope it will work out for you, too.
    Cheers.

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    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.

  • My Ipod Touch is not recognised in itunes or my computer but still charges, Please help

    My Ipod Touch is not recognised in itunes or my computer but still charges when connected via USB Please help

    Did plugging it into another USB port do any good? Make sure it is a USB port on the back of your PC and not via a USB hub or one on the front as they sometimes do not output enough power for the iPod to properly communicate with your PC.
    Do you have another 30 pin dock connector cable around you use to try and rule out a faulty cable? 
    Did you try a hard reset of the device with it still connected to your PC?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    With the article above were you able to verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service was installing and running on your system?
    Lastly, try plugging it into a different PC to see if it is recognized there.  It can help narrow down whether it is an issue with the iPod or with your PC.
