iTunes freezes when iPod Classic is connected

Today, I put music on my iPod Classic 160 gb... the files transferred and I just change some information in iTunes at the same time and iTunes froze and then I had to reboot the computer... now two things happen:

1. the music on my iPod has been cleared of her. All my music is still on my computer/iTunes works fine

2. when I connect the classic iPod to my computer, rather than recognize the device and let me put music on the iPod, iTunes hangs and I have to force it quit.

The iPod appears in the Finder as a connected device, but iTunes implode everytime I connect the iPod. Help?

Edit: Just went to the part of the iPod... on the second screen it says 81.5 used Go, 67.3 'About' free... and then below that under songs and artists etc it says just 0. If something hit irrelevant... is there a way to format just the iPod without using iTunes to do?

  • iPod Classic takes a long time to Sync

    I have an iPod Classic which I love.  However, in the past month, it takes a VERY (re: 15-20 minutes) for synchronization.  In the past, it took a minute or two.

    Here's what happens:

    (1) plug the iPod Classic on laptop via a cable

    (2) iPod Classic recognizes the connection

    (3) iPod Classic watch synchronization on his screen and puts cautioned against disconnection.

    (4) stays like this for 15-20 minutes before it goes to the screen where it says "Eject before disconnecting" or something else (basically, sync icon is gone).

    Now, here's something else to consider: I have my settings iTunes for my iPod Classic set to "manually manage."  It's not like whenever I connect my iPod Classic to my laptop it is addition of pieces... I don't want it to do that, so why I set it to manual.  For the life of me, I can't understand why all of a sudden it takes so long to 'sync '.  After 15-20 minutes (re: when it stops after that I have plug in the first synchronization), if I try and add music, music will add successfully, but that LONG synchronization process starts ALL OVER AGAIN and I still 15-20 minutes before he says it are safe eject to remove.

    Again, I have my settings to manage the value manually.

    Any advice/help?

    Thank you!

  • IPod Classic 160 GB freezes Itunes when connected

    I plugged my Ipod classic to my laptop to synchronize with Itunes and it went through all the processes as usual except at the end he came with an error message saying that the synchronization has failed. I retried the sync and got the same message. I unplugged the Ipod to see it wiped all content except the games. This laptop is configured to synchronize with the original computer. When I plug the Ipod in it now it sends ITunes in a mode of constantly trying to connect and says it is connected to the screen, but when you check the PC it says that itunes does not. The image of the Ipod appears in the top corner but everything is blocked, you cannot click on anything whatsoever or to scroll at all. Once the cursor sitting there in the way of thinking for 20 minutes and then came with this message.

    Unfortunately I can't ITunes to answer so I can not even the Summary tab to restore. Any help would be greatly appreciated I have to travel in two days and really want to go with. Thanks in advance.

  • iPod Classic not recognized whan connected to iTunes and related issues

    Whenever I connect my iPod classic to iTunes (Windows 10) is not recognized. iTunes then freezes after awhile of trying, it is recognized by iTunes. You can see everything on the iPod, but you cannot synchronize. Then I have to restore the iPod, but you can not recharge music etc. as the sync box has been ticked in the recent update. Then you can charge all your music which takes about 8 hours. WHY! Is this because Apple won't use their classic iPod more or what.

  • I restored my laptop to factory settings. When I reinstalled iTunes music to my iPod synced with iTunes but don't sync back with the iPod classic. Help why does?

    How to get music on my iPod? Is this possible? Help please I spent hours to try!

    In general try to sync an iPod with an empty library will remove the contents of the device. Except purchases of synchronization is iTunes to the device, even if the purchases can be copied into the other direction. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device and make sure that you have really all media stored on the device and not, for example, a display of your purchase history is stored in the cloud.

  • gel syncing to iTunes (iPod Classic 160 GB stops synchronization)

    I have about 19000 mp3 files in my iTunes I try to sync my iPod 160GB Classic (2009). I've updated to the latest version of iTunes and my iPod is updated to 2.0.4.

    The iPod is recognized and synchronization starts as usual and files begin to transfer... BUT iTunes crashes at some random file and stops the synchronization. ITunes basically says it's still sync (but stuck on a single file) and the iPod shows the screen 'do not disconnect - please eject before disconnecting '. It seems to me that the iPod think it's done, but iTunes is still trying to synchronize.

    I have to close iTunes and restart the computer to get iTunes working normally again manually. I can close iTunes, but cannot get it to open again before restarting the computer unless I go into the Task Manager and terminate all the processes iTunes manually. If I have this and go back to iTunes and then start resynchronization, synchronization is completely blocked on the first song, while the iPod does not sync at all.

    If I restart my computer then start again so I can start the synchronization, but the same thing happens again.

    Moreover, I had an iPod touch 3G on this same computer with iTunes and have never had a problem syncing like that ever.

    Here are some of the things that I've figured out and to try to solve this problem:

    • I deleted all the songs (files) in iTunes which can not find the program on my hard drive more.

    • If it freezes, the songs he says were be synced with the iPod are not actually on the iPod. Only 2-3 of the first songs sent when syncing remained on the iPod. Well most of the time. In manual mode, they seem to "stick."

    • I have restored my iPod back to factory settings. Who has not solved the problem.

    • I understand that this has NOTHING to do with corrupted files. The file it freezes on seems completely random (I did about 10 to 15 times) sometimes it freezes as soon as possible and sometimes it freezes later. I also checked to make sure that the files are not corrupt. which is not. I even deleted them from the list at the beginning when I first had the problem.

    • I put it to sync only checked songs and then set only 30 to 50 songs at the time of transfer. In addition to taking FOREVER to sync my iPod (don't be easier?), it can still freeze at random to where iTunes synchronization, but the iPod is not. Basically, it can happen on the song #451 or song #3. The odds of a gel are far less it seems with very few songs at the same time, but it can always happen, no matter how little I do.

    • I tried the manual synchronization... same problem. It will freeze during the update.

    • I have tried different USB cables without effect.

    • I tried different machines slot USB.

    • Reinstall windows... that he has not solved.

    Looks like you did a lot of troubleshooting already.  As the hard drives used with computers, the hard drive of your iPod mini becomes unreliable over time.  So the cause can be the disc is hard not to write data at random times.  Maybe it's not the cause in your case, but it is possible.

    As a test, if you have other USB devices connected at the same time, you can try to shut down the PC and unplug it all the USB devices.  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse USB connected, if used.  In order to put the iPod in Disk Mode

    Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

    Computer, run iTunes and connect the iPod to a direct USB port by itself.  iTunes may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  Tell iTunes to proceed.  Once the restoration is complete, try to do a full synchronization.  If this does not help, please report back.

  • 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).

    If this isn't the problem, thanks for posting back with additional details about your situation.

  • iPod Classic recognized by iTunes but used to synchronize

    I just bought a refurbished iPod Classic (Genesis 6 160 GB). The iPod looks and works as if it was new. I connected the iPod on my laptop and iTunes recognizes it. However, when I try to sync the iPod, nothing happens. The load bar that say 'Start Sync' appears for a split second, then goes, and I get the prompt saying "iPod sync is complete." However, nothing synchronized. I restored the setting on the iPod and even made sure that I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, with no luck. My computer is and has been authorized for iTunes and I even changed the name of my iPod in iTunes, as it was the name of my old iPod, to see if he has made all the difference. Don't know what to do here, especially since the classics are discontinued.

    Some iPod Classic s even if ongoing renovation have trouble recognizing a new computer. The previous owner probably plugged his iPod into his computer several times. Kind of like when you connect your phone to the computer for the first time, the phone and the computer synchronization together. Even if you restored the setting on the iPod, I try and take back to factory settings, if there is still this option. Hope this helps, good luck

  • iPod classic 160 GB will not appear in iTunes

    My iPod Classic 160 GB stopped suddenly appears in iTunes yesterday. He always shows up on my computer, however. I tried to reset my iPod. Then I tried to restart my computer and iPod. Then I tried to update the software from my computer and iTunes. Then I tried to put the iPod in disk mode. Then, I even completely removed iTunes and reinstalled on my Mac. Nothing I've tried has worked.

    Fact the iPod still works correctly as an iPod when disconnected (play songs)?

    Then, I even completely removed iTunes and reinstalled on my Mac.

    Since you are using a Mac, and iTunes is part of the standard installation, how your "remove iTunes completely?  What version of Mac OS X do you run on Mac?

    Then I tried to put the iPod in disk mode.
