When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen. (never gotten it wet or had it exposed to extreme temperatures) It is also unresponsive to any buttons on the ipod and it didn't show up when i plugged it into my computer. What do I do? Also if it is unfixable could i get a free one from apple?

I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen. What iPod model do you have?
When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?

Where and when did this message appear?

When i plug my ipod into my computer it is not recharging. The computer doesn't even acknowledge that it is plugged in. Any ideas why? It does have power left so i can use it but i want to recharge it of course. Any input is appreicated.

I've been deleting the info in the "Sort..." fields, but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted. How do I stop it from doing that?

I've been deleting information I don't want in the "Sort..." fields (like getting rid of "Deluxe Edition" markers, etc.), but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted. This only happens for a few artists, and it's the same artists every time this happens. How do I stop it from doing that? It makes it measurably harder for me to control the organization of my library.

I think you have to remove ITunes and install the latest version's one; then it will work fine.
Bye!

So when I plug my ipod into my computer it recognizes it and my ipod starts charging. However when i open itunes my ipod doesn't appear. I went on the support site and redownloaded itunes and all those and still nothing?

When I plug it in it still charges however it doesnt show up on my library.

Try
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
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod into my computer but no one else's

Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can help me out here. About a couple weeks ago (around the time the latest version of iTunes came out), my iPod (at the time I believe it was a 120GB iPod Classic. I've since replaced it with a 160GB iPod Classic.) would freeze up iTunes when I would plug it in (also if I open "Computer" in Windows Vista, that also freezes up).
I've tried everything almost everything I've been able to find when Googling the subject: Restoring the iPod one of the few occasions I CAN get my computer to read it. I've replaced the iPod (120GB iPod Classic) with a brand new one (160GB iPod Classic). I've run Check Disk on both my computer AND my iPod. I've cleared out the temporary files on my computer. I've made sure that I have all of my updates for both Windows and iTunes. I've run virus scans, disk defragments, etc. The only thing I haven't done is re-format the iPod but since this is a BRAND NEW iPod, I didn't think it would be necessary.
I also notice that when I bought my new iPod, it worked fine until I turned my computer off then turned it on the next day and I started running into the same problems again. Also, I've recently discovered that my iPod works fine on another computer so I'm thinking that my iPod isn't the problem.
I'm trying to be as specific as possible here but if anyone needs any more details to help me out here, I'd more than happy to let you know.
Thank you.

Okay, why am I unable to view videos when I plug my iPod into my computer?

I have a new computer (from school) and when I plug in my iPod, I see the music but no videos or photos. When I set it to auto sync music and select the same for video, the Video menu for my Ipod does not appear using iTune. The video is there on my iPod and all I'm doing is plugging it in. Why can I not find/play it?

I have exactly the same problem. I have checked that the "sync videos" box is ticked under the Movies tab but to no avail.
Another suggestion was to drag the film over the Ipod icon on the menu bar at the left of the page. When I try to do this a little red circle with a diagonal line through it appears over the mouse pointer. I cannot find anywhere on the support pages that explains what this means. The film will open up and play on my pc within itunes. Why won't it sync with the ipod ?
Any other suggestions ?

When I plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes, it just charges!!

The "Devices" bit doesn't pop up in itunes so i can;t actually transfer any music onto it.
Anyone have any ideas??
I'm really fed up with it!!

Make sure you have tried the iPod on a different USB port, if you have not done so. And are you using the latest iTunes package downloaded from Apple, instead of the old disc that came with the iPod? Get the latest iTunes software here.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If it still does not work, try resetting the iPod using the two-button combo
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
If that does not work, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode first, then connect it to the computer.
