IPOD Classic immediately and automatically disconnects !!

Thanks Victor. I still can not stay connected. It just kicks me out. I can at least charge it when its in disk mode, but thats it.

Anyone else having this issue and/or know why this is happening? I have a bunch of my own music on there that would take me days to find again. I just didn't sync it lately. I never thought it would just decide to stop working.

Thanks for your help Victor. I take it no one else is suffering from this crazy glitch? I tried it on my Macpro which is not what the ipod is synced too. It is synced to my mini and that is where it won't work. Trashing the prefs does nothing. In fact I don't have itunes set up to automatically load when an ipod is connected, yet it will still eject my ipod. The ONLY thing I did was go over to a friends house to play him a mix of my own creation, which we did through his old g4 running 10.5 through usb 1. I get home and I can't use my ipod. It is that simple. It worked right before and not after.

Sorry, forgot to mention that it does in fact work on my intel mac ... ??? ummm ?? I should also mention that my intel mac is where I created & copied the MP3's which were created in logic and moved to my ipod using itunes. It is not connected to the internet so maybe the version is different. Could this somehow be the culprit?

Since it is not synced to my intel mac I can not retrieve my files.

Even in Disk utility it disconnects right away. It will, however show my charge indicator so i can at least charge it. I'm pretty fed up, so I'm going to reset the thing. I just hope that works.

OK - I so I reset the ipod and this time it worked. i thought there was some sort of hard reset where you lost everything. Apparently it is what I have been doing all along. Holding the menu and middle button down until the apple logo appears. I'm not sure why, and I don't really care but it is working now and I did not lose anything.
Thanks for all the input guys.
I'm good to go

Bhang

Man this *****. It worked 1 time and quit again. It immediately disconnects my Ipod. WHY ??? Now a reset does not even work !!! Man this is frustrating.

Stopped working again. Worked once, then never again. Even a reset does not help now. ???

you need o be in a sub category for ones that have sub categories. You should see a post button at the top next to the subscribe to topic button. Its kind of set up ********. It took me a while too to figure this out.
