Solved Ipod Will Not Mount To Computer Hard Drive Bad Ipod

Chosen Solution

When connecting my iPod to my computer it no longer mounts or shows up in iTunes. Even when I try using the Disk Utility to try to mount it. I get error (…could not be mounted. Try running First Aid…) I then run First Aid and Verify Disk. I get (This disk needs to be repaired….) I then run Repair Disk. I get message saying that Disk Utility can’t repair and that I should reformat the disk. So, is my disk going bad? I do get hard drive clicking sometimes when playing songs; lock-ups, freezes, skipping on songs. Thanks

Gordon, the freezing and the inability to run the disk utility leads me to believe that you either have a bad HDD, or a bad cable, or both. I would replace the drive and the cable. iPod Repair Hope this helps, good Luck
