Reply To: MyLink Stopped Recognizing iPod Classic

The issue was resolved for me by turning OFF all of the functions that allow the drive on the iPod to act as a hard drive. Plug the iPod into the computer, and use iTunes to view the settings for the device. Make sure that the boxes are NOT selected for either of the following: (Enable Mass Storage on PC; or Enable Disk Use on Mac). The iPod will no longer allow you to manually manage the songs – you must have the device sync to a specific playlist. This will also kill any of the enhanced features like calendars, photos, etc – but no one uses those anyway. I’ve had no problems after almost two years of this setting change. Hope that it works for you!
