What to do when I plug an iPod classic and ikon under devices in iTunes don't highlight to make selections

I have an old classic iPod and a brand new iMac from 2015. When I connected the iPod to download playlists, I had an ikon on the desktop, momentarily, but then disappeared. I have ikon iPod in the devices menu (version 12.3.3) iTunes, but it will not highlight to make the choice to download music manually. The computer told me something... What is the problem, and that, anyway, how I eject the iPod manually if I chose to...

With the current iTunes, you do not select the iPod under devices in the sidebar.  The iPod appears as a button on the device on the horizontal bar that runs through the iTunes screen.  See screenshot below of the window of my iTunes (top left), showing the camera button for an iPod (circled in red).

By clicking on the iPod touch is equivalent to selecting under devices for older iTunes.  You will see the settings screen for the summary of the iPod.

    It takes your iPod nano 5th generation.  If so, this happens because he has a camera.  After Photos opens when you connect iPod, near the top of the window, is there a checkbox to Open the Photos for this device (or words to that effect)?  If you see this checkbox, uncheck.  Photos should be open when the iPod is connected.

    Recently, I had a problem in that, plugged in my camera and also my phone options auto run does not come up as they used to do.

    The cameras appear under my computer and in Device Manager but not under "Devices that you connect to your computer will be listed here" appear in the automatic game options and this area is totally blank.

    I also checked the box "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices to" check in the auto play options.  CD and USB sticks work very well.

    I have Windows Vista.  I read that Microsoft has sent a security update patch to stop the AutoRun works on Windows Vista.  I tried to turn it around by using their dose, but it doesn't seem to help.

    Hi - my problem is now solved.

    Not long after reading the post above the laptop crashed and had to have a replacement hard drive.

    I just got the laptop PC repair workshop, and although there are still a lot of updates to download, I plugged the camera the hurrah the AutoPlay menu appeared.

    Obviously there is something fundamentally wrong with the laptop, but it will be interesting to see if AjutoPlay still works when all the Microsoft updates have been resettled.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • iPod Classic and TV displays error

    So I have an old iPod classic that I recently started using again, but he seems unable to sync the TV shows that I own. It can sync music very well, but even with sync settings, the 'all TV shows' value, it may not. When I try, the iPod is as there is nothing to synchronize. Even more curious, I got a movie and some clips on it since the time and they play well on the iPod.

    The shows are certainly downloaded on my system, and I can read on my PC. I found some old tips recommended I download an "iPod Version" of the show, but I can't find any option like that.

    I have a Windows 10 operating system with iTunes 12.4.3. The iPod is running version 2.0.5.

    Hey there RockDHouse,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! From what you describe, you have problems of that sync TV shows that you bought your iPod classic. I'll be more than happy to provide you with information for troubleshooting.

    It is possible that the file format of the TV shows that you are trying to synchronize is not compatible with your iPod. Some older iPod models are only able to sync and play the SD versions rather than HD check this article from support for more details and suggestions:

    If your videos from iTunes cannot be played on your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Apple TV

    Take care!

  • IPod Classic (and iTunes library) from Windows to Mac

    Hey ppl, can someone help me with this one?
    My iPod Classic was initially connected to a PC, because I didn't have a Mac at the time. But I an and for a long time, and now I'm about to get a second.
    I was put in place with the PC mostly because my iTunes library has nearly 500 stored cd and I use my iMac only for work, I didn't want to fill his 500 GB drive with iTunes library. But now that I'm about to take my work to a new Mac, I thought that it was time to move my iTunes library to Mac, and I did it with the help of an external hard drive.

    Now, everything is ok with iTunes on Mac all the CDs and the works of art and library moved nicely.

    But when I connected the iPod it syncs ok, but does not receive a new cd that I just uploaded on the Mac.

    I have noticed that an already existing CD which I modified the work on the Mac, sync ok for the iPod, but not the new CD. The CD is an original, not a copy.
    I think it has to do with the iPod having been registered to another computer. I allow them the Mac, but still the CD is not transferred to the iPod.
    I want to get rid of my PC, but I need the iPod to work with the Mac.
    Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or doing wrong?
    Thank you

    I had checked the discussions over and over again before posting the question and do not find an answer, and now after posting the question, I found what solved my problem - iPod sync fine with the Mac. (to goodbye PC)

    "Kenichi Watanabe 26 February 2016 06:04 Re: Ipod connects to itunes, but does not synchronize "
    in reply to Umphreys21

    OK, that's fine.  So, just what is currently on the iPod is already in your new library iTunes, correct?

    When you start with a new iTunes library and add your existing content, the iPod sees it as a new iTunes library, not the old one that was previously used to synchronize the iPod.  The partners from iPod to your new iTunes library and the Tower WE Auto Sync, follow these steps...

    Select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to display the parameters of the iPod in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

    NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

    Check the box to Sync music.  This turns ON Auto Sync (and associate the iPod to your new iTunes library).  If your library complete iTunes music can fit on iPod, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  Click apply.

    On a separate note, since you started with a new iTunes library, you have added all your content to your backup, but you probably do not have the additional data (such as playlists, ratings, play head, date added, etc.).  Depending on how you have saved your iTunes data, it may be possible to restore your full (not only your media) iTunes library.  You need to be good with the help of your new iTunes library, but if you want more information, thanks for posting back. »

    So thanks Kenichi Watanabe

  • 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.

  • Update of iTunes. IPod sync and lost everything but 10 audio books, passed to Touch, four selected works, only on the Touch and not the selected one. Afraid to synchronize other devices that I'll lose everything. ITUNES update BUG

    I updated iTunes 10 Windows a few days ago. I sat to continue listening to an audiobook on my iPod. 110 audio books in sync with the iPod, there are now 10 and not that I want to listen to. I opted for a touch and tried to load the book on that. There are four books selected for the touch. The book I want to not sync and there is only one book on the Touch.  This book is not all the book selected for synchronization.  I am afraid now to sync one of my other devices to iTunes because I'm afraid I might lose even more data.

    Of course, there is a bug in the new update iTunes 12.3.3.17.  Help, please.

    Are audio books in your library? If it is not in your library can see you in your media folder? Your library authorized the Apple ID is used to buy the books? The upgrade of Windows can break the record of the permission on the computer.

  • iTunes 12.3.1.23, iPod Classic and Windows 10: can synchronize once, then needs to restart

    After the upgrade to iTunes 12.3.1.23 I am more able to synchronize several times. I have to restart if I want to sync again.

    Shows Device Manager:

    right-click Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows this:

    Windows 10 1511 64 - bit * iTunes 12.3.1.23 * iPod Classic 160 GB (7th generation)

    Norton Antivirus by chance? This seems to cause problems for some.

    iTunes uses the Service iPod for iPod classic rather than the Apple Mobile Device Service. The message may be due to an old version of 32-bit AMDS not removed, then the 64-bit version was installed. You can try to remove the current driver to see if the right pair will then load. Otherwise complete a tear down and rebuild iTunes may be in order. See the second area of the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • What to do when my PC crashed with BOD and calls for a previous version of Windows?

    First of all thank you for all the help.

    I already posted this question in response to my previous thread but I don't know if everyone saw that since is a response.

    And now the sad news.
    I am currently typing this laptop for my wife because my PC is completely crushed.
    After being able to finally load these SPs and all my drivers and other software, it seemed that it worked.
    I always tried to avoid the automatic update because everything seemed ok.
    Whenever I have had more software installed on my pc I set up the new restore point.
    In fact twice because the third time I typed system3 and press ENTER to create the new restore point I had immediately the Blue Screen of Death that I'we heard about before.
    So I tried to re - install Windows again, but for the first time that I am not even able to do.
    He said: Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupted \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
    Then he said to press r in the first screen to try to resolve what I did.
    With my original XP cd in, it took me for Windows set up where I faced another problem (new).
    He said: Setup cannot find a previous version of windows installed on your computer.
    He asked me to insert my original cd with NT, 95 or 98 on it.
    OK - I've upgraded from 98 years and I still have this start up par 3 1/2 98 but after moving so fast and technology upgrades for my Office Perrine drive seemed like the size of space.
    What are my options to resolve this problem?
    My HD could be fried?
    Couldit be some project of pirates or viruses?
    I 2HDs a C: 40giga.old Western digital that I had my Windows and second giga D: 120 which was more for backup and storage.
    After having all these problems I always C: formatted and reinstalled Windows but never really messed with my D: drive.
    Could there be something on D:, even after fresh Windows would keep jump on C:?
    Also why it asks me to insert the 98 now and not more recent before when I formatted and resettled C: windows.
    Once again thanks for your help.

    I have everything working fine now.

    Here is the link to which fixed my problem.
