• My Macbook Pro, El Capitan will not recognize my ipod classic 30 GB, but my windows 7 laptop work done!

  My Macbook 2010 installed pro that el capitan will recognize not my 30 GB classic ipod, but my work Windows 7 once laptop I installed iTunes does! Great, I thought, I'll reset the iPod to FACTORY DEFAULTS and clean and I hoped that my Mac would then see the ipod, but NO, not even appear in disk management. Have now tried 3 or poss 4 duct, which is a brand new 'authentic apple' one. It's really annoying. My iPhone 6 works fine, but I want the iPod when I run in the rain and connect to the older stereo on the truck. It seems that nothing wrong with the iPod itself, even if she had a replacement of the battery some time ago and worked fine since. He has never synchronized with my Macbook. I tried before El Capitan and several times since getting the laptop last year with Yosemite installed.

  Of course, I followed the Apple Support Troubleshooting, which basically is useless in this case. I have the latest version of iTunes, recently updated.

  Can someone please help! I am obsessed and really want to work. I love my iPod classic and will use it and get the case has been refurbished. It seems that historically there was a * of a lot of problems of this kind, has everyone just gave up and put their iPod to their phones in a cell?

  Any help would be appreciated. He drives me crazy and I googled all out.

  Has been one of the things you tried to put the iPod in Disk Mode?

  Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

  Is "Disk Manager" the pre-installation disk utility application?

  If you put in Disk Mode and connect, it acts as a simple USB storage device, so it should appear at least in disk utility.

• I'm told my iPod classic is not compatible with the latest version of iTunes and I need to buy a new iPod

  I have an iPod classic, 160GB, 2009 (I think that I bought in 2011, but they say it's a 2009 version).  I took good care of her, and it worked wonderfully for me.  Recently, with the latest updates of my OS, iTunes, etc. on my MacBook, I got the iPod synchronization problems.  This last time I tried, the iPod has not been recognized by iTunes, or it would be recognized and switch between connected and synchronization, but never go further.  Finally, if I left it long enough that, it would eventually be sync, but then he would go back and forth between sync synchronization, connected and finishing.  After leaving he did that for a while, he would finally come with an error message saying that the iPod could not be synchronized.  Then my iPod was erased at all to this subject (everything is always on my iTunes at least library).  I tried to restore my iPod, which she did, and then synchronize everything again.  He went through the process of synchronization, only to say in the end could not be synchronized.  Sometimes my iPod not even be recognized by iTunes.

  So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.  Both were up to date, so I think I 2.0.4 on my iPod and 12.3.2.35 on my iTunes.  Apple told me that I can't go back to an earlier version of the iPod software because I have no iPod backups on my iTunes.  Therefore they told me the only solution is to spend $ 400 on a new iPod, which I can't afford to do it, nor have you I feel it's a reasonable solution, since my iPod is perfectly good and I was very careful care of her.

  Is there anything that can be done to make the two compatible?  Can I download an older version of iTunes?  I'll be able to get my most recent iTunes library on the older iTunes?  Should not continue making it compatible, the iPod classic and iTunes since so many people use iPod classic, and they are the only thing like him around?

  I looked in the other forums on the topic, but nothing seems to talk about this compatibility problem and provide a solution.  Someone at - it ideas?  Can you manually manage your music on your iPod, even if the two are not "compatible"?

  Thank you!

  So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.

  Seriously...?  My 'classic' 3rd gen iPod in 2003 still works fine with the latest version of iTunes and the latest OS X.  Even the original iPod should still work (assuming the iPod itself still works).  Your iPod classic 2009 is certainly consistent.  That support the needs of the person coming back through training...

  When you connect it now, it seems in iTunes?  Are you able to select in iTunes, go to the settings screen, where you see the iPod photo and name in the upper left corner of the window and a box below that?

• IPod Classic (80 GB) "unrecognized USB device" running windows 7

  I've recently upgraded to a new laptop (acer aspire 5738G) running windows 7. I managed to transfer my itunes through library and that you have installed itunes (x 64) that works well. When I plug my ipod classic (80 GB) on a usb port, I get a message saying "unrecognized usb device". I managed to make it work once, but when I did, I got an error understood saying "this drive could run faster" or something in that sense. I tried other usb devices and all seem to work well, so I guess that's the ipod drivers or a compatibility issue with 7 and itunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, have reinstalled the usb drivers and have browsed the net for a fix but wo's me again! I waited patiently a hotfix from microsoft or apple, but still nothing. It seems that there is a great problem of the spread. Does anyone have any ideas as what was once a small annoying problem turns into a right royal pain in the a$ $. Thanks in advance!

  I also have the same problem is "USB not recognized" and I have the old IPOD classic (20 GB).

  The problem started when I upgraded my home pc to Windows 7 Pro 32-bit of Windows Vista. My iphone 3gs is currently recognized properly but not the ipod 20 GB on the same iTunes 9.0.2. Device Manager reports the 20 GB ipod as "unknown device".

  My computer is a HP Pavilion Slimline s3620f. Almost tried everything:
  -reboot several times
  -Reinstall itunes several times
  -restart the service itunes several times
  -Reconnect the ipod several times
  -tried the front and back of the usb ports
  -deleted the Sentinel file under c:/users //musci/itunes/I've found solution on another forum

  ... still nada, zit, ala!

  Update: I've found a workaround. Fortunately, my ipod classic cable is a cable in there provided with firewire in addition to the usb cable. Since my home pc has firewire port, Windows 7 now recognizes the classic ipod through this port, have a drive letter and itunes works on it as well.

• need stop synchronization before finishing to avoid ipod classic remove

  I've updated to itunes version 12.5.1, as well as Windows 10.  If I let my ipod classic finish syncing, everything on the ipod is removed.  So I have to restore the ipod in disk mode so that itunes recognizes the ipod and avoid itunes gel settings.  I found the only way to keep my music is to stop synchronization before it ends or the entire contents of the ipod is removed, and I'll have to go through the process of restoring ipod to factory settings again.  During synchronization, I disable the Windows 10 firewall and anti virus as Apple support told me that it could interfere with itunes.  What is - this with the finishing of sync that removes my ipod?

  It's weird...  Hard drive it is possible to the iPod becomes unreliable and is damaged during the synchronization process.  What happens if you set it up to only synchronize a small number of songs, instead of "all"?  For example, on the settings screen of music from iPod in iTunes, rather than choose to synchronize the entire musical library, choose the option to synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres, and select only a SINGLE album.  These songs always get deleted at the end of synchronization?

• I have a iPod Classic 30 GB. I have a new macbook pro and I managed to put my iPod, but now I can't synchronize my iTunes to iPod. What should I do next?

  iPod Classic does not sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro.

  If "reset" means you did a restore on it (to erase it), after the restoration, the iPod is set by default to use the parameter manually manage music and videos] .  If you expect not to sync automatically, you need to Sync music.

  Connect iPod and to find his button on the device to iTunes.  The screenshot below shows the left upper corner of the window of my iTunes, iPod button circled in red.

  

  Click this button to display the settings of the iPod summary screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side, in the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  Parameters of music from the iPod screen to the right.  Check the box to Sync music.

  NOTE: For anyone else reading this, all the songs of the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

  This enables automatic synchronization.  You can choose to synchronize your entire music library or a part of the selection .  Implement this screen as you want, and then click apply to sync iPod.  Further, iTunes automatically keeps iPod "in phase" with the changes in your music library (or the selected part of it), when you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected).

• iPod Classic does not appear in iTunes

  My macbook release 10.9.5. iTunes (version 12.1) does not recognize my iPod classic Model # MB147LL version 1.2.2PC. I tried to reboot, reset, update, but it will not recognize to sync the iPod. My computer recognizes the iPod but not iTunes.

  The latest version of iTunes (12.5.1) should work on OS X 10.9.5.  Is there a reason that you are using an older version of iTunes.  A classic iPod should work with even older versions of iTunes, but there may be a problem with the specific version you have (fixed in a later version).

  If update does not help (or if you don't want to update iTunes), given that the iPod is recognized by the system, it seems to have a data connection.  Try to put the iPod in Disk Mode.

  How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

  Before you connect iPod, stop (power off) MacBook and disconnect all the USB devices.  Plug the MacBook power adapter (so it does not work on battery).  Startup MacBook, launch iTunes and connect the iPod (in disc Mode) on a USB direct on MacBook, by himself.

  If he picks up iTunes, it should invite you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  This erases the iPod, so if you're OK with that (because the content of the iPod is in your iTunes library), do the restore.  If all goes well, the iPod appears in iTunes (normally) after the restoration.

• I called Amazon to try to recover the serial number of my old iPod classic two weeks ago, and they gave me a kind of account; They pronounce it account 'seen - It '.

  I called Amazon to try to recover the serial number of my old iPod classic two weeks ago, and they gave me a kind of account; They pronounce it account 'seen - It '. I don't have to ask how, because I thought I knew, but I was wrong. Would what type of account be? And how it's spelled? The name of the account is a tiny s followed a 7-digit number. (Of course I will not type the numbers.)

  I would go to a forum for Amazon, because they can be better equipped to answer a question on their system. If synchronize you the device with iTunes, the number can be there in the backup section.  Find the serial number of your Apple - Apple Support product

• IPod Classic compatible with EU Boom 2 via the Jack audio 3.5 mm?

  As far as I know, the sixth Gen iPod Classic should, theoretically, work with the EU Boom 2 via 3.5 mm audio cable "male-male". Can anyone confirm their experience that this is the case?

  I have no experience with that specific product, but if it has a standard (cable) analog audio input auxiliary iPod headphones (and more), is a standard analog audio output.

• IPod Classic reeked havoc on my iTunes!  Help!

  Can someone help PLEEEEEAASSSSE?

  I kept my iTunes library on an external hard drive Lacie for recent years.  From time to time I simply opened my iTunes library, music new dump in and re - sync my iPod classic.  A week ago, I did this and got an error during the synchronization.  The iPod is really old, almost complete, but still works.  Nevertheless, I had to stop the sync, restore the iPod and regain sync.  I did it and everything was fine... or so I thought.

  A night or 2 later I went to play a song on my iPod and noticed he wasn't there.  In fact, a very important (and random) part songs were gone from the iPod.   I went into my iTunes library to check and found a large number of songs with the red exclamation points.  I am aware of what that means and has been able to reconnect broken links which gave me about 200 songs which did not work.  The rest seems to be completely DISAPPEARED from my library.  If I go into the files of the album all that remains album files work... NO SONG NO FILES.  I did a spotlight search of title on the HDD for the songs and nothing.  What the * happened?  Miss me him more than 2000 songs.  Very random too.   Some albums have half songs left, a few 1 or 2, some not at all.

  Even weirder, is that if I connect to my iTunes library that sits right on my macbook (which is much smaller, but it shares some of the same songs) on a song/artist will play for that whole part of the alphabet.  For example, the song "Blue Sky" of The Allman Bros plays almost each piece separately in the section "A" of my library.  We go to a Beck song for all the songs of 'B' and so on.  Something bad happened?

  It could be my madness, but I swear yesterday as he tried everything to flow back to the previous libraries to change my main media folder location, which for a second that I did something that made all these songs to work again.  While I had that on the screen, I selected all the good work tracks and thrown on a flash drive to dump if all goes well in to my iTunes corrupt and all library set. I did, and none of the tracks that I've just spilled on the flash drive appeared.  A bunch of other tracks were there, but they were the songs that I didn't need to fix.

  I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

  HELP PLEASE!

  Since this problem noticing, you have restarted your Mac?

  iTunes, media synchronization is from iTunes library to iPod, so it is unlikely that the iPod "reeked havoc" on your iTunes library.  More likely, there was (existing but undiscovered) on your external drive and sync data corruption caused the problem on the iPod (a week ago).

  Run disk utility, select the disk volume (indented under the player) in the disk utility sidebar.  Click first aid.  You can also do the first aid with the drive selected in the sidebar, but a problem is more likely to be detected by checking the volume in this case.  You can also check the internal drive of the MacBook.

  You use Time Machine to backup your user data?  If this isn't the case, you are using other backup methods, such as cloning?
