View Full Version : Random disconnects

1G iPod Mini version 1.1, Win XP Pro, USB

It connects to the computer fine, but partially unmounts itself randomly (About 2-5 minutes after connecting it). I'll be playing around in iTunes, using it as a disk drive, storing notes in iPod Agent, even doing nothing with it at all, and it'll stop working. It still appears as an (Empty) drive in explorer, and it's still in the iTunes source list (But trying to do anything with it gives the error "The iPod "Name" cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found), it's still in the "remove hardware safely" list but the iPod says "Ok to disconnect" and it refuses to do anything until I disconnect it and reconnect it or reset it (Which gets really old really quickly). I've tried different USB ports but no luck.

Have you tried restoring with the iPod updater software?

Restoring completely erases your iPod harddrive and resets everything to factory settings, so make sure you have all your music on your computer before doing this!

Good luck-
