My 160Gb ipad will not connect to itunes or my Imac. I get themessage "connected Eject before disconnecting", then straight away i get the message "Ejecting you may now disconnect". have tried all the options to reset the ipod but nothing works. the

I have the same issue. No solution yet, but am commenting in hopes to see replies with a fix.

I also have this issue. Used to sync OK but doesn't show in iTunes. Is visible in Finder and Disk Utility. Have tried all the usual stuff but still no luck. iPod is recognised on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 machines and would probably sync but I want to use the up to date iTunes library on the Mini Server and not the versions on those machines. 80GB iPod also not recognised.

Running Yosemite 10.10.2 on a late 2012 Mac Mini Server

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

i believe the problem is with those of us that took part in the Beta version of Yosemite.

The 10.10.2 version is a beta version and is not compatible with the iPod classic...for now.

if you reinstall the 10.10.1 version and opt out of the beta program it will work and will not update.

I have the same problem in terms of error messages, but I don't have a mac. This problem arose when I installed itunes 12 onto my new Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 with Windows 8. I tried installing an older version (itunes 11) that worked on my old HP laptop but the itunes 11 would not run on my laptop for some reason.

Is this a software bug that Apple will fix with an updated version of itunes so that I can still use my ipod classic 160GB?

I have the same issue with an Ipod Classic 160Go. I am using Yosemite 10.10.2 on a MB from 2011, when I plug the Ipod it briefly shows "Connecting" and then straight away shows "ejecting". Device does not show in Finder or anywhere. I have tried reset, update Itunes, update OS, everything, I cannot get it to work.
