iPod Classic not recognised by iTunes - Can't sync.

Same problem here: I'm on the beta OS X 10.10.2 and updated with NTP security update. No longer recognises iPod Classic (still mounts in Finder).

The iPod is still recognised on an older Mac running OS X 10.7 with iTunes 12.

I had the same problem. I went back and installed the original Yosemite over the update and that fixed the problem. I downloaded it again and it just installed over the update. My ipod Classic and iTunes sync fine now.

Hi

I have the same problem.

I installed everything from the scratch (os x on my mac mini)

Everything worked beautifully yesterday, today iTunes not recognize the iPod.

Ipod has been tested in the shop and it's OK.

I think iTunes needs some UPDATE.

😠😠😠😕😕😕😮😮😮😠😠😠

Same here - came on to check to see if I was alone with this as I can't connect my iPod Clssic to 27" iMac (2013 version). Oh well - hope Apple fixes soon.

Thanks utvols2007, it worked. My iPod is now fully seen by iTunes 12.0.1.26 and it syncs beautiffully

Hi I had a similar issue with my 160gb Classic

Went through many things with Apple on the phone all to no avail.

Took it to the Genius Bar and managed to get it recognised by iTunes and then restore....but when i plugged it into my MBA or IMac it was not recognised by iTunes and just appeared on the desktop..again.

Given that i am using Yosemite and iTunes 12 and reinstalled iTunes, Apple answer was to do a reinstall on my MBA!

Reluctantly i did this and it worked!!!!!!!!

It was recognised by the ancient iTunes9 before updating to 12 again and it was still recognised....

Just got to reinstall all my music, photos, documents.....at least i have my retro 160Gb iPod Classic to load everything on....

hope this helps

So I did the seame thing and problem returned after 24h.

oh dear, i'll let you know in 25hours...i have an open case with Apple support so hopefully we will get a solution....

OK 😎

Alright, so I went back and installed the original version of Yosemite I had as suggested by utvols2007. Sure enough, soon as I reverted to an older install of OS X Yosemite, my iPod Classic 160 GB was visible and able to sync in iTunes.

At that point I was happy that I was able to get a few new albums transferred over to my iPod but couldn't remain with that version of Yosemite. Unfortunately, my original install was one of the Beta versions. After about 8 upgrades/restarts I'm back to where I was with the latest version of Yosemite and iTunes. I can NO LONGER see my iPod classic in iTunes but do see it on the desktop and finder.

Obviously a issue with one of the latest OS X updates. APPLE, provide an update to fix this ASAP.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C81h)

iTunes Version 12.0.1.26

I also took part in the Beta version...

when i reinstalled i went back to mountain lion then updated to Yosemite

it is version 10.10.1 however so not sure if that is a conflict...

it hasn't updated to 10.10.2 ...yet...

Got worse.

After re installing Yosemite, all was fine.

But then, My iMac asked for some updates... I agreed. It installed Yosemite 10.10.2 and upgrade restarted the computer.

Now iTunes (12.0.1.26) wont recognize my iPod (classic 160Gb purchased Oct 2014) nor my wife's Classic (80Gb 4-5 years old).

Now iTunes wont regognize my iPhone 5...

Pleaaaase Apple do something...

Hey Apple, holidays are over. Can you sort this out now!

I am having the same problem! iPod classic mounts on the desktop, but doesn't appear in iTunes. Didn't have this problem before the update. I've tried restarting iPod and Macbook - nothing works.

Please fix this, I am going on a long plane flight and have to have my tunes on there. It's like Apple timed this bug to **** with me.

well its been over 24 hours and mine still works,

yosemite is still 10.10.1......don't know if thats anything to do with initially using the beta version but it's working,
