Q: iPod Classic won't mount in OS 10.4.11
Greetings friends,
When I connect my iPod 160gb Classic to my Mac G4 Desktop, the iPod does not mount. iTunes does not open and the iPod does not show when I open iTunes manually, but the iPod screen shows that it is connected and syncs for a brief moment. The iPod screen prompts me to eject before disconnecting, but it is not showing in iTunes or on the desktop. Running OS 10.4.11 on my Mac G4. Everything was working fine, but then one day it just would not. Please Help. I am afraid to reset for fear that I will loose all my music, photos, contacts and it still might not mount.
Peace,
JG

Try an alternate known good cable and/or check for fluff in the docking port that might interfere with the connection. See also Corrupt iPod Classic.
